As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

Roy felt overwhelmed with guilt after hearing this, and could only gently console him, "[Gale] is gone, his legend is over."

Unexpectedly, Nia turned around and waved her hand with a strange expression.

"No, no, no, it's not him I want to see. How can I possibly see him if he's dead?"

Roy looked suspicious: "Who do you want to see?"

Why didn't he remember that the original work said that Nia had an idol?

"Oh, since you are also a Lionheart, you must have heard of his name!"

Roy became even more confused after hearing this.

Weren't the Lionheart adventurers wiped out in the Second War Against Dragons? How could they have any useful guys left?

Nia closed her eyes, turned around abruptly, waved her hand, and introduced herself passionately like a little fangirl with her side ponytail tossing:

"He bravely fought dragons, defeated evil cults, and even attracted the heart of Princess Lionheart. Yet, he rejected wealth and fame to embark on a solo adventure for this lone swordsman!"

"That is none other than the adventurer from the Lionheart Kingdom, Lord Sword Ghost!"

"......ah?!"

Chapter 61 Coincidentally

Roy's cheeks twitched, and he broke out in a cold sweat on a hot day. "No, how did you know that name?"

This feeling was like being publicly punished for the non-mainstream online name you created as a child, which made Roy feel so embarrassed that he almost suffocated.

"Of course I heard it from the Lionhearted adventurer!" Nia said as if it was a matter of course.

"You admire him very much?" Roy's mood became more complicated.

"Of course! I heard that Lord Sword Ghost is already an A-rank adventurer at such a young age! That's quite amazing! And he's such a handsome guy, it would be strange if I didn't admire him, right?" Nia completely entered the fangirl mode, and her face was full of brilliance when she talked about Sword Ghost.

"It's a pity that he always keeps to himself and his whereabouts are unpredictable, otherwise I would really like to meet him!" Nia couldn't help but feel a little regretful when she said this.

No, I hope you never see me again. The boy wiped his sweat and complained silently in his heart.

This is strange. No matter how low the adventurers of the Lionheart Kingdom are, there are always a few A-level adventurers. Why is it that I am the one being targeted by Nia?

[Sword Demon] represents Roy's middle school fantasy. He portrayed him as a powerful, cold, and taciturn swordsman, which is shameful enough.

I don't know which bastard made up a bunch of rumors about him, saying that he was fighting a dragon and fighting a cult, which made his identity doubly shameful!

Um, it seems that what I said is not wrong?

Thinking of this, Roy even felt a little creepy.

"If you meet Master Sword Ghost again, please remember to ask for my autograph."

"Yeah." Roy avoided the boy's eager gaze and responded coldly.

Roy didn't want to break the girl's fantasy, nor did he want his dark history to be exposed to others.

If this identity wasn't still useful, he would have wanted to cancel the account...

After visiting the first floor, the two came to the market on the second floor.

This is a bazaar for adventurers, with a wide variety of goods, from extraordinary materials for extraordinary props, from weapons and armor to rare treasures and exotic herbs.

Nia looked at this and that, shaking her head like a rattle. Roy was worried that she had twisted her neck.

But these things are useless to Roy.

The panel mall has everything he needs.

If I have to say, the only drawback of the mall is the lack of weapons and armor.

After all, these things are usually carried by extraordinary people. If they die on the battlefield, their weapons and protective gear will either be damaged or taken away on the spot, so it is difficult to lose them.

But the [Iron Blood] bloodline has no shortage of weapons and protective gear.

This made it difficult for Roy to get interested in shopping. He was more interested in the appearance of the items than their functions.

When passing by a jewelry store, a black pendant caught his attention.

The pendant was shaped like a small shield carved from obsidian, which was quite to Roy's liking.

"Oh? You're interested in that one?"

Nia noticed Roy's gaze, walked over to the vendor, picked up the pendant with her fingertips, and showed it to Roy.

The boss enthusiastically introduced Roy, "This item is called the [Obsidian Shield], and it's powerful enough to defend against a Sequence 7 attack! It's only 20 gold coins, and it's yours!"

Nia almost threw the pendant away after hearing that.

20 gold coins is equivalent to 2000 coins, which is equivalent to the expenses of a noble for several days.

That was almost Nia's reward for a whole year of adventuring—she deserved to run away from home.

Of course, for Roy, it was just a larger amount of pocket money.

This made Roy a little confused.

This pendant is pretty, but the effect is really useless.

Being able to defend against a Sequence 7 attack is far from being able to defend against a Sequence 7 full-strength attack, especially since [Iron Blood]'s defense is already good, and with [Dragon King's Blessing], Roy does not need to stack additional armor.

Although he is rich, he does not waste his money like other rich second-generations.

Coupled with men's habit of prioritizing practicality, after hesitating for a moment, Roy finally shook his head and asked Nia to put the pendant back.

"What a shame. I think that one suits you quite well."

"Em...don't waste the money. I won't be able to use it."

"Men." Nia curled her lips.

As long as it looks good, that’s all. If you want to buy it, just buy it.

Before leaving, Nia took a quick glance and memorized the location of the jewelry store.

"You've been looking for so long, don't you want to buy anything?"

"Hehe, of course I'm going to buy it. I saved up a lot of money for today!"

Under Nia's guidance, Roy came to the innermost corner of the market.

A short, muscular, red-haired old man with a thick beard sat at the front desk. Behind him was a vast expanse of workshops stretching as far as the eye could see, with countless blacksmiths busy at work.

The glass counter in front of the old man was filled with countless magical weapons, and a platinum hammer was carved on the counter.

Roy had heard about this.

This is the largest and most advanced supernatural weapon chain store in Vizsea, Atelier Platinum.

Although it was just a branch, the weapons it produced were enough to make the nobles salivate.

The red-haired old man sitting at the counter saw that the two people coming were two young men, and a trace of impatience flashed in his squinting eyes.

At first glance, he is definitely a rich second generation.

"Go back, you little brat. You can't afford my weapons, and besides, you're not qualified to buy them."

"Hey, isn't it too early for you to say that?" Nia was a little dissatisfied.

The old man chuckled and pointed to the sign next to him.

It said 'Mithril weapons, only for A-rank adventurers and above', 'Average price per unit, 500 gold coins'.

"......excuse me."

Nia immediately retracted her neck and lost her momentum.

The most common metals on the market, in order of increasing rarity, are ordinary iron, fine steel, black steel, and mithril.

Mithril is as light as a feather and as hard as dragon scales. More importantly, it has extraordinary ductility and can absorb extraordinary power and evolve.

The longer it is used, the more extraordinary power it absorbs, and the different properties it can sharpen.

Even many legendary divine weapons contain a certain amount of mithril.

No adventurer doesn't want a mithril weapon of their own.

Nia stared at the pair of mithril daggers on the counter, almost crying with greed, but finally sighed helplessly and left the counter.

"It seems that it is still too early for me to get weapons of this level." Nia looked like she had lost her soul, dejected, with a pale smile.

She didn't have enough money or adventurer level.

"Come back next time."

"Oh, that's all it can do."

Nia slapped her face and cheered herself up.

With his hands behind his back, he took a few steps forward and smiled cheerfully at the young man: "It's almost time to go home."

I had a pretty good time strolling around the city today, but it was the last one, so I felt a little regretful.

But Roy doesn't like regrets.

The girl's smile was genuine, but Roy wanted to make it even brighter.

After staring at Nia for a moment, Roy suddenly said, "Can you wait for me for a moment? I need to go to the bathroom."

"That's great. I want to go too."

They both went into the bathroom separately.

After a while, Roy returned to Atelier Platinum wearing the Shadow Vault.

When the red-haired old man saw a black-robed swordsman with a strange aura and a black mist on his face coming, he immediately thought of the recent rumors and exclaimed in surprise.

"You, you are Master Sword Ghost?!"

The old face suddenly lit up with joy and was extremely respectful.

A-level adventurers are both distinguished guests and signature items, and cannot be neglected.

"What do you need?"

Roy silently threw out the black crystal card and pointed at the dagger that Nia had just set her eyes on.

Chapter 62 Gifts and Thoughts

After returning home and eating the dinner prepared by Alice, Nia collapsed on the sofa like a salted fish.

She secretly peeked at the boy beside her and suddenly felt reluctant to leave.

No matter what, she should go back.

I have to give the gift out before I go back.

"By the way..."

"By the way, it's about time you go back."

The girl, who was trying to find a topic to talk about and naturally gave away the gift, was caught off guard.

"Ah, it seems so." Nia's expression was a little forced.

"Shall I take you back?"

"Okay!" Nia's expression immediately brightened up again.

"Alice, I'm going back first!"

Before leaving, Nia waved to the maid who was washing dishes in the kitchen, and the latter nodded slightly in response.

Looking at the young boy and girl talking and laughing as they walked away together, Alice stood silently, unable to calm down for a long time.

After leaving the house and entering the quiet night, Roy finally found an opportunity to give a gift.

The surprise should always be saved for the end.

Unexpectedly, Nia said the same thing as him when he was halfway through.

"actually......"

"Actually, I have something I want to give you. *2"

After the words fell, the two stared at each other, both confused.
