Chapter 270 – The Family Man (4)
That’s how Dagon’s arms sales started again. He held out a vicious-looking mace to me. It was more like a trophy than a mace. A screaming person’s face was carved into the cup-like round head. The inside was empty, so it was perfect for holding water. Dagon said.
[This is the club used by the priest who served El-Toss, the Demon God of the Demon World. With this, he beat and killed the group that fought against the Demon God. El-Toss gives power directly to the person holding the weapon.]
“It’s an antique with religious significance.”
[You can use this weapon by conducting a blood ritual towards L-Toth.]
“Human sacrifice again?”
[Not.]
Dagon’s words piqued my interest. Isn’t it a fairly useful weapon to catch animals like rats? It was enough to write even if it was a condition that I had to kill a pig before writing it once. After all, it’s something you’ll never use again after you’ve eradicated the cult of love.
[Human blood is best, but cow pig chicken blood is also fine. Whether it’s livestock blood or human blood, you have to mix one word each and drink it here. This club is enchanted with augmentation magic, so that amount is sufficient.]
At most, they are told to mix the blood of a horse from a trophy that can be made as a penalty wine and drink it. But how much is that?
“How much is a horse in liters?”
[It is 18 liters.]
“Fuck Amy.”
Since it was a total stand, it meant to eat 54 liters. If I drink 54 liters of blood from cows, pigs, and chickens, I’ll be reported as a cultist right away, whether I’m the priest or the pope of the Archangel Church. I couldn’t even eat that much in the first place.
“…Excuse me, but aren’t there just plain weapons? I just need a normal, really hard and heavy mace. Here, I want a sword that is good at cutting people and doesn’t get bloody.”
“It also has claws.”
“Yes. And Chloe.”
Now that you’ve had a good look at Dagon’s crazy collection, it’s time to ask for some more mundane weapons. Eve was grinning with a knife from which needles protruded, but the rest had yet to acquire a single weapon. Dagon lowered his eyes lightly at those words and said:
[Is it.]
I’m a bit disappointed. I started to appease him.
“No, it’s not that your collection is bad. Every single item here is a truly ancient artifact, but we don’t want to be the people who depend on such weapons.”
Eve seemed to be taken aback by those words and hid her sword behind her back. Dagon looked at me with a deep gaze and moved the massive pillar. As his whole body his shook as if he was nodding his head, the feeling of intimidation was enormous.
[Is it. Thank you for comforting me. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here alone. If it wasn’t for Artie’s groom, I would have made him my groom.]
It was a woman Fuck, I was so fucking scared that this bastard was divided into male and female. It’s because they say they are mating. I prayed in my heart that Dagon would be a race of in vitro fertilization.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
[I get it. I wanted to present something decent to Artie’s acquaintances, but in the end I ended up bringing out these shabby things.]
Dagon went into the water again. She rose again, arms that glistened in platinum on her tentacles. Dagon said in a morose voice.
[They are ordinary weapons made of special alloy steel in the demon realm. The knife you wanted. And Mace. Claw. Unfortunately, it has no effect. It’s just a hard and slightly heavy antique, and I’m embarrassed to see Artie giving you such a lowly weapon.]
Dagon’s voice was full of melancholy in her, but a smile naturally caught my lips as I held her weapon in her. It felt good to hold due to its heavy weight, and it had a subtle splendor like a Roman pope’s staff. I asked Dagon while swinging in the air.
“Dagon. May I hit the stones here?”
[However much.]
Without hesitation, I swung my mace at the rock in the corner of the cave.
Bang!
The rock shattered with a cool blow. Elsie was also moving as usual, wearing a claw in her own way. Her movements were sloppy, as if she had n’t gotten used to Claw’s heavy feeling yet.
“Priest. I think this will take some practice.”
“Keep practicing. Elsie. Steadily”
“I get it.”
A.A picked up a sword that glowed softly in blue and swung it at her in the air. The twitching of her eyebrows seemed to fit her hand her quite well. She swung her sword in the air once more and said to Dagon.
“It is a very good sword. Thank you for this.”
But Dagon’s face was full of melancholy.
[No effect. I am ashamed of myself for handing over such a weapon. It’s not too late even now. There is also a bracelet that sacrifices 100 people to use the power of the ancient gods. With just one of these, the Cult of Love is over.]
“No. It’s okay.”
There is a reason why the ancient gods remain only as ancient gods. Most of the cases were forgotten because their personality was usually shitty or their power was so nasty and cruel. If it was the power to use by dedicating 100 people, it was obvious that it would leave a fucking aftereffect. After receiving the weapon, I asked Dagon.
“Thank you for the weapon. Mr Dagon. I will someday repay your kindness like Hahae.”
[There is no need to reciprocate. I am very happy that my collection is being put to good use. That’s enough, so don’t worry too much about it. Rather, I’m sorry I couldn’t give you a better weapon.]
It was nice compared to what it looked like or what it carried. Why? Why the fuck is a bastard with a human sacrifice bracelet nice? I was curious, but couldn’t figure out how to ask. So we took our weapons one by one and came out of Dagon’s cave. I thought we were talking for a while, but when I came out, the sun was setting. A.A was looking back and forth at her own knife, smiling her satisfied smile her.
“Warrior. You seem to like the weapon?”
“Yes. That… He looks a bit scary, but he’s a good person.”
“Groom. I really like this too.”
Eve was fond of running her knife around her. Although it was a different design from her previous swords, she felt that the fact of her transformation was enough to make her use this weapon worthwhile. Elsie was touching her claws her, her eyes twinkling like a child receiving her toy for the first time in Elsie’s own way.
“It’s like a bear claw. A bear claw that our chief used for decoration.”
“Play with just one hour a day. I see?”
“Yes?”
Elsie looked at me with a puzzled expression. I laughed and stroked Elsie’s hair.
“Just joke. Elsie. Please practice hard and become my right-hand man.”
“I get it.”
While joking like that, we headed for the carriage. The coachman and horseless carriage were well hidden in the thicket. Fortunately, neither the homeless nor the vagabond found our carriage, and the carriage was in good condition. Unlike A.A and Elsie, who got on the carriage, Eve stopped moving while trying to get on the carriage. I asked Eve.
“What’s wrong?”
“Groom. Come to think of it, they said it would take ten days to recharge. I have no horses and no tent, so what am I going to do?”
“Oh, don’t worry. Eve. Who am I? I’ve prepared everything. Ruler! This is the magic stone prepared by Arty.”
I took out the magic stone I had hidden in my pocket. A.A looked at the stone I took out with curiosity when she said it was a magic stone. Her eyes her sparkled with a blue light.
“It is incredibly high purity. I’ve never seen such a high-purity magic stone in the Mage Tower.”
“Did you see it? Now this. If you put it next to this wagon charger…”
I put the mana stone next to the mark that indicates the remaining mana charge of the wagon and gave it some power. The magic stone shone softly and spread a blue wave. A soft blue light spread out and enveloped the surroundings warmly. Elsie was also surprised by Mana’s energy in her, and her eyes her twinkled. Slowly, the wagon’s remaining mana began to fill up.
“Did you see it? Did you see The speed at which the remaining mana fills has increased!”
“Oh, really. Great? By the way, the groom.”
“Yes? What’s the matter?”
“At this rate, I think we should be able to stay overnight, right?”
“I know.”
The mana battery was filling up at a noticeable rate. However, the speed was relatively fast. The total amount of mana dripping like chick pee made me feel stuffy. Eve asked me.
“What is it, groom? If this is the case, you will have to sleep overnight.”
I scratched my head and looked at the magic stone.
“Oh, that is strange. In a few experiments, it was done in three hours.”
“…Groom. Could it be that the mana ran out because of the experiment?”
I closed my mouth. Fuck am I sick? Why did you do that? After Elsie got out of her driver’s seat, she grabbed the carriage and said,
“There is a city right in front of you. It will be soon if you drag it.”
“Wait. Elsie. When Elsie pulls the wagon, it’s like I’m using her as her slave her.”
If there was a rumor that the head of the Daecheonsingyo Church had stopped by the western coastline with the warriors in a carriage drawn by beastmen, public opinion would surely be worth seeing. I didn’t want to increase the bad reputation. I saw Elsie’s thighs reflecting the blue light of mana, revealing her firm curves of her. I looked at her thighs and swallowed her saliva.
“It’s one night, so let’s just stay home. It would be okay if we plow the ground here and make a fire, but there are a lot of trees, so the wind won’t blow.”
“I see. I think it’s okay.”
AI also agreed with me. Eve and Elsie nodded as if they couldn’t help it and started to help me trim the twigs around them. Later, when A.A is sleeping, we should have sex outdoors.
