"So will you have seggs now?"
All of them ignored what Raff said and continue cheering for Ivette's victory. Even Aldred was speechless by Raff's desperation to tie the knot.
"Raff," Aldred called. "Ivette is part of the family now."
That translated to: I will do that later, big bro. Don't you worry.
Raff understood the cue because Aldred's emotion was connected to him. And he also realized that he was a bit hasty even though Aldred already accepted his sister.
Mira caressed Aldred's head. "You did a good thing. I am so proud of you."
One way to encourage people to keep doing good deeds was to praise and rewards them. And they deserved to be praised and rewarded for their deeds. And so she whispered; "I will make you feel good tonight."
Aldred trembled in excitement. Mira was usually shy in bed, but now she planned to make him feel good? He wondered what she would do tonight.
Mira giggled when she saw his reaction. "But don't extort people again, okay?"
"That's not extortion, but a small payment."
"You take all of their treasures and gold coins."
"A small price for their valuable life," Aldred said.
Sophia nodded in agreement.
Mira sighed. Maybe she should be satisfied with Aldred not killing them.
If she knew that Aldred killed some of them, and their leader, Mira might continue to talk about it with him. But Aldred did not think she needed to know that. He did not want Mira to worry too much.
'I would never become a loose monster anyway. I will be a monster with full control of my power.'
As Aldred relaxed with Mary, Mareona, Mira, Sophia, and Ivette, a large group of people started climbing up and then they built a tower structure at a certain spot.
Aldred saw them pulling out wares out of their space bag, and sign that said: Dragon Traveling Merchant.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The Dragon Traveling Merchant is here! We have lots and lots of treasure that can help you climb the mountain. Come and see! You might find something good!"
A lot of people seemed to know about the Dragon Traveling Merchant because the moment they call their own brand name, the people rushed to the tower structure.
"This is what I need! I finally can breathe properly with this!"
"A magic trinket that can shield me from cold and hot! Finally!"
One after another the adventurer found the magic items they needed. Some bought an anchor to climb the mountain.
"You guys want to see some items?" Aldred asked.
Mareona shrugged. "Sure. We might find something useful." She was interested because a lot of people were buying things at the store.
"Do we have enough money?" Ivette asked.
Aldred smiled. He currently had 702,572,169 Gold coins in his adventure card, but that would be too shocking if he tell them about it. "Of course we have enough money. I extor— I asked a lot of people to pay me for my service."
'Service in giving them mercy.'
Aldred pulled everyone to the tower where the seller presented their items. When he looked around, he found the items weren't that interesting or useful.
"Sir, if you would like to, we have more useful items at the above floor. But the price will be a little more expensive," an old man said to them.
"We will check out the above floor then."
"Don't bother," a young man said. "I don't think you can afford the items there." He looked at Aldred up and down in disdain.
"Only wealthy people can go to the second floor."
Aldred sighed and flicked his card, showing the number of gold coins he had. The young man's eyes widened, and then rolled to the back of his head. He was standing yet he was unconscious.
The old man seeing this was trembling. A wealthy man! A wealthy man! How could he bring such a large number of gold coins! This man must be the son of an emperor or a powerful and wealthy noble!
"Can we enter the floor above now?"
"Yes, you can, young master. I apologize for the misbehavior of this man. He is still young and could not s—"
"Could not see mount tai. Yeah, I heard that statement a lot."
"I don't know anything about mount tai, sir. I was about to say Mount Fargon."
"Right…"
They stepped up the stairs and headed for the second floor. Fragrant scent entered his nose, and a luxurious store came into view. The items here were stored in a glass with crystals giving them light from below.
Aldred inspected the item one by one and found them not that interesting. He already had tons and tons of rare items in his inventory, and he had even merged them into the All Devouring Stick.
"Good morning, Good sir and ladies. Did you find any items you like?" A beautiful young lady greeted them.
Aldred shrugged as Mareona, Mary, Mira, Sophia, And Ivette looked around.
Ivette's eyes sparkled as she stared at the treasures.
"Do you want to buy something?"
Ivette shook her head.
"It's okay. I am not poor. If you compare the noble you have debt with, I am far richer," Aldred lied. He actually did not know how rich a noble could be.
"Really?" Ivette asked.
"Of course."
"Then…" Ivette then went out on a shopping spree, buying everything she touched, and everything she see.
"I want that one. That one. That one. And that one."
"Ivette, that's a pp condom."
"I want it!"
"…"
If Raff, her brother, heard that, he would give her a thumbs up. In fact, Raff was connected to Aldred's vision and emotion, so he was actually giving a big thumbs up right now.
Aldred let her buy anything she wanted. And when she was done, the beautiful seller totaled them at:
"That would be 11,393,196 gold coins."
Ivette was shocked. "So expensive. Can we pay for that?"
Aldred coughed. Although he had a lot of money, losing 11 million at once was undesirable. So instead, Aldred showed the seller something.
"Do you accept this as payment?"
"What are these?"
"It's the scale of a Bajaragon."
"The scales of Bajaragon?!" The seller was shocked.
"We will accept, but this amount is not enough."
Aldred then poured out thousands of Bajaragon scales from his inventory. The meat they ate all these days were actually from Teethless, and when Bartrem removed the scales, Aldred stored them just in case.
Their scales were tough. Tough enough to impress Aldred. Even his fire javelin was blocked even though it had been strengthened many times.
It was no wonder that the seller was shocked. An armor made of a Bajaragon scales could be a great lifesaver in this mountain and the whole treasure hunt.
"Is this enough?" Aldred asked.
"It's… It's enough, sir."
Aldred smiled, and then put all the items they bought into his inventory.
