Hermione just wanted to tease Sullivan a little bit but it looked like he knew how to treat women.
'Am so proud of you'
Hermione didn't say anything about whether Sullivan would find a ring for her or not. but She knew he would find it for her and the ring she would get from him would be very valuable.
She although didn't want any expensive ring just any ring would be enough. She only wanted the feeling, not the ring itself.
Sullivan let out a sigh of relief. He would find her ring that was worth enough for her.
'In this world there might be a good ring for her. Well I should get it for Jean too but I felt like I shouldn't mention it in front of Sis now…'
Shuzuki now wore the ring he conjured for her. With his bloodline power this ring should be able to exist for many decades before It will disappear.
Now that he finished what he wanted. He wanted to leave but.
"Please wait."
Shizuku called out for him. She walked toward him with her usual expression. Hermione narrowed her eyes.
'Don't tell me that she was falling for Sol'
But to her relief. She didn't. She just wanted to repay him for the ring. Arm wrestling for a very expensive ring anybody could tell that It wasn't fair.
And she didn't want it to weigh down her conscient.
"Please accept this."
"What is this?"
Sullivan looked at what she gave him. He didn't know what it was.
"It's a book I found in an ancient ruin. I don't know what It was too but If you sell it to a rich book corrector you would be able to get at least a hundred million Jenny"
After that she went to clean the other room without waiting for Sullivan to respond.
Sullivan could only shake his head before trying to open the book but.
"It's stuck. Why?"
He tried to use Nen but it was meaningless. He could force open it by pure physical strength but he was afraid that there would be something inside of it.
"What's wrong Sol"
"There's some kind of energy preventing me from opening it and It isn't Nen…"
"It isn't Nen? Let me check it a bit"
Sullivan trusted Hermione that she would not do something carelessly. When she got the hold on the book. She used many spells to inspect it.
She was surprised to find something by using magic.
Seeing her surprised face made Sullivan cautious. He was ready to take action if something bad happened.
"What's wrong Sis"
"This book is cursed!"
When he heard it. He went into action instantly.
"Cursed?! Let go of that book right now!"
Sullivan hit the book away and immediately checked on her hand hurriedly.
He without a second thought used his holy fire in order to purify her hand.
He was sure that his holy fire could destroy curses.
Hermione was more surprised than what she found in the book.
Looking at his panicked face and fear when he thought she was cursed by touching the book touched her heart very deeply.
"Are you okay! Are you hurt!"
Sullivan asked Hermione and when he saw she was smiling at him. He knew that she was okay and he was just being dramatic.
"Well It was cursed but It didn't seem to be contagious"
Sullivan let out a sigh of relief. He thought that she would have been cursed if she touched the book.
"And the surprise isn't that because the book was cursed but because it contains an ancient method in practicing Nen. The way we know about Nen right now wasn't much just from google as you call it."
Hermione then picked up the book on the floor. It was cursed alright but only for those who forcefully opened it without permission.
Fortunately. Hermione could read books without opening it. It wasn't the first time she had to deal with a book with curses.
"So what are you going to do with it?"
"Teach you it of course."
"Teach me? Why."
"This book contains a martial art called Shingen-ryu and about something called 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva. It would suit you well because you can use every type of Nen"
Hearing what inside the book almost cost him his sanity.
"T-this…but she told me that she got from an ancient ruin…oh no don't tell me…"
Sullivan now knew that it wasn't from an ancient ruin. It was from the Netero fu*king room!
With the fastest speed he yeet it into the guild treasury. He didn't know if Netero could track it or not. so he didn't want to gamble on it.
'It's too powerful to let it be. just let me borrow it for a while then I will help you with Maruem'
