章節 18: Chapter 18 - Tsubaki
The killer ant's mouthparts continued to chew and squeak. At that moment, it had an absolute numerical advantage, but it didn't dare to step forward and confront Link head-on.
"He's calling his companions?"
Link immediately noticed something unusual.
Then he made a quick decision!
Link turned the spear, held the weapon tightly in his hand, pointed it in the direction of the killer ant, and decided to push forward.
In an instant, the ground where Link had originally stood exploded, and the powerful force even created a strong wind.
At that moment, Link resembled a shooting star!
Breakthrough!
With unprecedented momentum, facing the dense group of monsters in front of him, Link used all his strength and lunged forward!
"Light Flame Gun!!!"
In the next moment, a great roar echoed in the cave, and orange flames followed the movement of the spear, sweeping through the entire passage. The entire field of vision was filled with hot, burning flames.
The burning flames filled the space, and it even seemed as if the walls of the passage were crumbling.
Standing at the entrance of the stairs, Olga stretched out her hand to shield her eyes from the dazzling light.
After a while, when the light dissipated, Olga looked back at the cave room, and only the charred wounds and scattered magic stone fragments on the ground remained.
In that blow just now, Link had definitely exerted a power beyond Lv.1. This kind of damage was completely beyond the capacity of those Lv.1 adventurers.
At that moment, the cave passages were nearly completely destroyed. The killer ants and other monsters had been wiped out by the previous attack. Even the magic stones they had thrown on the ground were in tatters.
The magic stones dropped by the monsters in the dungeon can be broken.
After sustaining a strong attack, the magic stone shatters, and consequently, the power contained within it disappears.
In fact, breaking the magic stone is the most effective way to defeat monsters. The magic stone can be regarded as their heart, but few adventurers will destroy the magic stone.
After all, the magic stone is equivalent to money. Destroying the magic stone means having trouble with finances.
This was also the first time Link used his full strength and unleashed his strongest attack.
He didn't expect it to cause such lethality, and even the magic stone had been torn to shreds.
Such a magic stone can't be sold for much.
Fortunately, there are still many items dropped, such as Lizard Bast and Killer Ant Claws. These items can be sold for a lot of money.
...
It was still nighttime, and Link, who had calculated the time, brought Olga out of the dungeon.
First, they went to the guild to exchange the magic stones for magic.
This time, Miss Eina wasn't there, perhaps because she was resting, but today he only exchanged the magic stones, so there was no need to bother her anymore.
The magic stone in his hand was exchanged for over 70,000 valis—74,300 valis to be precise.
The Killer Ant Magic Stone could have been sold for 1,000 valis, but in the end, it only sold for 200 because it was damaged. After exchanging the magic stones, Link went to the Hephaestus Familia again, preparing to sell the rare drops.
Hephaestus seemed to have notified the family members early.
The person who came to greet Link was the leader of the Hephaestus Familia members, named Tsubaki Collbrande, a woman with her left eye covered and dressed as elegantly as an Amazon. With a long red skirt on her lower body and only a bandage wrapped around her upper body, she boasted a milf-like figure. Orario recognized her as the most powerful blacksmith below the gods, and she possessed great strength. She is a half-dwarf born from a mix of humans and dwarves from the Far East. Since almost all dwarves have short arms and legs, Tsubaki's height is notably different from that of typical dwarves.
As a blacksmith, Tsubaki would go to the dungeon first to test the weapons she crafted, which led to her accidental promotion to level 5. The reason was quite strange, but it also showed how powerful she was.
"Lady Hephaestus has already told me, Mr. Link, please take out all the materials, and I will do the inventory work!" In the reception room, Tsubaki, who had locked the door, spoke loudly and confidently.
As a goddess, Hephaestus naturally wouldn't do this kind of inventory work herself, especially since she had her own tasks to complete.
Sometimes, Hephaestus would spend several days in a row crafting a weapon. With the doors closed for several months, it would be impossible for Link to handle these trivial matters daily.
However, to ensure that Link's information wouldn't be easily leaked, she asked the leader of her Familia to personally manage the inventory.
As the leader of the Familia, Tsubaki is naturally the person Hephaestus trusts the most. Link felt relieved by this as well.
"Okay, let's take out all the dropped items this time!"
"Well, sorry to bother you, Captain Tsubaki."
"You're welcome!"
Link raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The next moment, a jingling sound could be heard, and countless falling objects descended from nowhere like a downpour.
"Oh~!"
Although she had heard about it from her goddess, seeing it with her own eyes, Tsubaki still opened her mouth wide in surprise and let out a scream.
"This is... this is too much!"
Countless kobold claws, goblin fangs, lizard bast, killer ant claws, and shadow fingers.
Without exception, they were all rare materials dropped by monsters in dungeons.
Normally, they might not drop a single rare item when they entered the dungeon to hunt for a whole day, but now they appeared in numbers as large as rain.
As a blacksmith who knew Tsubaki's rarity firsthand, how could he not be surprised?
"If you're right, there are 153 pieces of kobold claws, 177 pieces of goblin fangs, 121 pieces of lizard bast, 63 pieces of shadow finger blades, and 47 pieces of killer ant claws. Please count them."
"Okay, okay! Just wait for me!"
Tsubaki licked her lips and quickly began counting the dropped items in front of her.
Tsubaki was extremely happy now with so many drops; even if there was a chance that the forge would fail during the forging process, it was still enough to create several top-tier weapons.
Or, if these materials were used to train half-baked blacksmiths, practicing with them would be sufficient to cultivate several outstanding blacksmiths.
Tsubaki counted the items very quickly. In a short time, a total of 561 dropped items were counted. All of the dropped items were sorted by Tsubaki and stacked neatly.
Then, Tsubaki took out a small notebook and started calculating the price…
"Yup! There are 561 items in total. The count is correct. Goddess Hephaestus said that according to the guild's purchase price, kobolds and goblins cost 5,000 valis. Lizard bast can be made into leather armor, but leather armor is not easy to sell among adventurers and is often only used for the lining of armor. If you choose lining, it will be more comfortable to use soft cloth, so the price is only 2,000 valis. Shadow finger blades cost 5,500 valis, and killer ant claws cost 9,000 valis. Link, do you have any questions about the price?"
"No problem, the price is fair."
