Level Up Monster

Chapters 22.2

Hazeline, who had been waiting for Sae-Jin at the restaurant, didn't even have enough time to be surprised by her growing body size.

"…. You brewed all this in just ten days ?!"

"No, no. It took me half a year. I brought what I put in during the rainy day. More importantly, how much debt will they incur?"

A total of ten bottles of potions. And among them, two bottles of "A Goblin's Kindness" were made from Saber's tooth tiger powder fangs. While Sae-Jin's expression was a little bitter as she felt regret using the rest of her fangs, Hazeline's face was full of joy and happiness.

"After tax deduction, I think about $ 2. 5 million, USA ~ So, if you add the potion sold before, there is only about $ 270K left."

"Still that much .. But of course …"

Their conversation was temporarily interrupted. Because the waiter brought their food.

"Look good . "

Sae-Jin speaks while staring at the thick steak. Hazeline nodded, and carefully kept the potions scattered on the table inside her bag.

"Uhm…"

"Excuse me… . "

Before grabbing the knife and fork, they opened their mouths at the same time. Sae-Jin hints at him to go first, so she does.

"Well, can't you tell me what perfume you're using right now?"

"…. Huh uh?"

"Wait, it's not like that. I have no other intentions. I just love that smell, that's all. I want to sprinkle it on me, and also to kiss her at home too."

Hazeline scratched her cheek and timidly asked him. He made a troubled expression and shook his head.

"If that's what you want, then you have to take me home. It's really not a perfume but my own smell."

"City …."

Hearing her words, Hazeline looked at him with a sly look and knew. He expects so much. player's handbook? Pretend disinterested, but in the end, isn't this a direct tactic of the player's handbook ?

"I want to do that too, but .. You know this too, right? We Dark Elves are sensitive to our privacy. So, if you feel a little uncomfortable to tell me what the perfume is, just a little hint will … "

"I'm telling you the truth. Really, it's not perfume but my own body odor."

Sae-Jin insists. Hazeline's brows were slightly knitted as if she found her unchanging demeanor unpleasant, but still nodded her head to show that she understood, albeit reluctantly.

"I understand. Well ... If you insist, then surely it should."

"No, well, if you really want this scent in your house .. then you should take me with you."

Sae-Jin talks jokingly after discovering she is a bit adorable like this.

"Fu-u. Thanks, guys, for your advice, but I'm fine."

Hazeline smiled and accepted her joke, and in this friendly atmosphere, the lively conversation never stopped. The one who spoke was Sae-Jin, and the one who listened and laughed was Hazeline.

Perhaps, she is just trying to get on her good side, but even knowing this, strangely, Sae-Jin's trust continues to soar in front of this beautiful woman. The heart that used to beat irregularly every time they spoke face to face, now remained calm, and there was not even the slightest bit of nervousness within him.

Is this because of the "beast heart" effect – belongs to Wolf Wolf Wolf – or has the trust in itself, in other words, trust and arrogance, grown? Whatever the reason, Sae-Jin is really happy about her at the moment.

"Oh, by the way, are blacksmiths making a lot of money these days?"

When the thought suddenly floated up, he slightly tested the water. He thought that, if the Skill Proficiency Level of the Blacksmith Technique rose high enough, it would be comparable to a recognized blacksmith, no, the best of all, even with expert craftsmen. On top of that, if he fused Goblin Skills, he would be able to create a product that married perfect aesthetics and functionality. That skill was too good not to use it.

"If the stuff they make is good, then yes. But can it be that simple? You should have some talent with Mana if you want to rise to a certain level in blacksmithing, but if you have enough talent to reach the master level, wouldn't it be better to just be a Knight, instead, wasn't he? It would be rather boring just hammering in a scorching workshop, and as a kicker, you would have to throw away 2 ~ 3 years of your life to knock down one decent item. "

"Oh, wait a minute, please. Blacksmiths can use Mana?"

"of course. Loading hammers with Mana when they drop on metal seems to infuse equipment with it. And the higher the amount of Mana put into the equipment, the better. But, I mean, just what is it? It just depends on luck, all . "

Hazeline spoke in a disinterested tone, and Sae-Jin flashed a smile of deep satisfaction. He now discovered the rough cause of why the Great Warrior Orc weapon was better than an artisan, and was able to compare with expert craftsmen. Blacksmiths were somewhat dependent on luck, to impart Mana, but Orcs used their physical properties to directly use Mana when forging their weapons.

"But why are you asking me about that?"

Hazeline asked him while chewing on his flesh.

"… Oh, well. There is no specific reason. I saw the poster for the blacksmith competition nearby. By the way, how much would it cost for an item made by a current craftsman or master?"

"The price is huge. There is an ax sold recently called the Skirt-Tah Force. It is a weapon praised by many master craftsmen as well as rated well by critics. Even the mass media played it, saying it was the birth of a new source of pride for the country. Well, if I remember correctly, the Dawn Knights Order took out about $ 26 million US for the privilege of taking her home. "

Sae-Jin stops her knife as soon as she hears the figure.

"… . I saw . "

He calmed his racing heart and replied with a flat expression.

And about an hour later, Sae-Jin returns to her cave in a hurry while being seen carrying a pile of iron ingots.

He wanted to buy raw steel but unfortunately, did not have enough money for it.
