When Victor stepped out of his room the next day, the sky outside was still a pale blue.

But he saw a familiar figure standing in the corridor.

"Elena?"

For some reason, the girl seemed a little awkward, her eyes darting around, as if she had done something wrong.

"Are you here to see Hill?"

"Ah...yes, I just happened to go up to the second floor and ran into Mr. Victor."

Elena lowered her head slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed.

She was worried that something had happened to Viktor, so she waited outside the door early and listened to the sounds through the door for a while.

Unexpectedly, the boy suddenly opened the door.

"By the way, is this the room for Hill?"

She quickly made up an excuse and turned to Hill's room.

When the girl knocked on the door, Victor didn't think anything was amiss, assuming she had just arrived.

"You seem a little slow, kid."

At that moment, Marlene walked out of the house yawning, her chest rising and falling with her breath.

Fortunately, although the clothes she changed into were Victor's, they fit her surprisingly well and covered her entire body perfectly.

"...Let's go downstairs first."

Victor ignored the slander against the succubus.

He glanced into the house, and seeing that nothing was left behind, he closed the door and left.

After waiting downstairs for a while,

Elena and Hill walked over one after the other.

The former maintained a polite smile, while the latter suddenly frowned, appearing to be in a bad mood.

"Hey, Hill."

Marlene, however, seemed oblivious and waved to the other person.

Hill responded stiffly, his expression growing even uglier, but a hint of awe flickered across his face when he unconsciously glanced at Victor.

Although no one present mentioned what happened last night, the fact that Marlene wasn't kicked out but instead stood behind Victor suggests a certain relationship between the two...

Thinking about all this, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"We need to hurry and buy some spell scrolls. Let's go."

With Elena's command

Hill wisely took on the role of guide.

He used to be a resident of this town, so he naturally knew the location of the surrounding shops best.

The journey to the first store went smoothly, and because she was a familiar face in the store, the owner even gave Elena a 10% discount on all the rolls she bought.

"Let's look at other stores."

At Elena's suggestion,

Before long, the four of them visited four shops, including not only magic shops but also some prop shops.

Originally, the short purchase process was about to end.

But as Victor ventured into the last shop, he suddenly froze as he passed an old, dusty shelf.

All I saw was...

A rusty longsword lay piled at the bottom of the shelf, clearly a piece of junk.

But the green light emanating from the longsword, and the effect description that appeared before his eyes, told Viktor that he had found a good deal.

The Rusty Sword (Green) That Has Been Silent for a Century

[Note: It is a weapon wielded on the battlefield, a hunter's protective tool, and now, a dwarf's keepsake to remember a friend.]

[Effects: "Light as a feather" and "Extremely sharp"]

The effect is extremely simple: light and sharp.

It doesn't look special, but that's exactly what Victor lacks.

His mage's hand was just missing a good weapon.

"Boss, how much is this sword?"

Viktor, holding the rusty sword, approached the boss and asked a question.

The boss was a short man who was arranging goods. Upon hearing this, he immediately turned around.

Seeing the boy holding a rusty sword, he scoffed, intending to say that it was free.

But after carefully examining the hilt and the faintly visible engravings on the blade, his expression gradually became serious:

"One hundred gold coins, not a single copper coin less."

Upon hearing this, the blonde girl, who had just managed to snag a few decent protective scrolls, froze.

He looked at Viktor in surprise, then at the boss:

"Uncle, are you serious? That's just a rusty sword."

She had assumed Victor had his eye on something valuable, but it turned out to be just a rusty sword.

But this shop owner is charging such a high price, which is simply outrageous compared to the previous shop owners.

"Give me a hundred gold coins, or I absolutely will not sell."

Elena was immediately annoyed by this stubbornness and was about to try to persuade him.

But a slender hand pressed down on her.

It was none other than Marlene.

"This is Victor's deal with him, let's leave it alone."

"But......"

Elena wanted to say something, but she only had time to glance at Victor before Marlene dragged her away.

"..."

The surrounding conversations did not shake Viktor's resolve.

He simply stared at the dwarf boss's serious gaze, as if he understood something, and nodded with a smile:

"make a deal."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bulging cloth bag appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Before the dwarf boss could even react to what was happening, the cloth bag was thrown into his arms.

He looked down in confusion, picked up the cloth bag, and glanced at the boy again:

Why?

Viktor did not answer, but turned and left.

The dwarf shopkeeper watched the boy walk out of the shop before hearing a sound carried into the shop by the breeze.

"Your sword was too heavy, so I took it from you."

"..."

The dwarf stood frozen in place, his eyes wide open, and he still hadn't recovered until the words had completely faded away.

In particular, the money bag in his hand suddenly became incredibly heavy, so heavy that just holding it bent his back.

He slowly sat down in the chair, and after a long while, he said leisurely:

"Is he your descendant? What should I do then?"

As he finished speaking, his peripheral vision caught sight of a long sword on a shelf in the corner of the shop, and his gaze immediately sharpened.

......

at the same time,

On the carriage that had just begun its journey.

Did Mr. Victor really give him 100 gold coins?

Elena asked the boy opposite her somewhat cautiously.

Viktor nodded, his expression calm.

Exchange 100 gold coins for a unique green weapon, and then use a single sentence to make the boss owe you a favor.

It seems like a sure-fire way to make money.

But the blonde girl could never guess what he was thinking. She felt that Viktor had been tricked and felt a little uneasy.

She felt that she should have helped pay for those expenses herself, but before going to the magic academy, her brother, that bastard, thought that his sister needed to be tempered.

Therefore, she didn't have much money on her.

"If I see that old man again, I will definitely ask him for Mr. Victor's money back."

Elena was thinking this, but she didn't notice.

Marlene, sitting opposite Viktor, had a faint smile on her face ever since she got on the bus.

As a succubus who has lived for decades, her knowledge far surpasses that of ordinary people.

From the moment she entered the last shop, she could sense the hidden aura of power emanating from the other person; they were at least a level 6 or higher warrior.

And their master must have realized this, which is why he did such a strange thing.

"They're here, they're here..."

For some unknown reason, she forced a sickly smile and couldn't help but lean against Viktor, whispering something.
