Aldred looked down and found out that the monsters dropped some sort of treasures when he killed them. These weren't rare, but they weren't that common either.
The three ladies on the other hand were astonished to see the goblins being defeated so easily. They saw Aldred defeat the goblin, but it felt so unreal in their mind.
"Who is that man?" one of the ladies said. "He's too powerful for a Gold Rank."
Everyone knew that monsters were generally stronger than any sentient race. This was especially true in this deep sea tomb because the monsters here were summoned by the world's power. Most people needed to use their brains and kite the monster one by one to defeat them, but this man… with a simple move of his finger, the goblins were no more.
Aldred swam towards them and scanned their bodies with his godly eyes. He detected that they were fine, but he asked just in case: "Are you guys hurt?"
"We are fine, Senior." The ladies blushed when they saw him approaching.
"Don't call me senior. I am 11 years old."
That made them even more shocked! Eleven years old and already reaching Gold Rank? Not to mention an Elite Gold Rank?
Aldred waved his hand, and all the items dropped by the goblins floated beside him.
[Scroll of Sword]
Containing the basic knowledge of sword art.
[Water Teleportation]
Containing the knowledge of water teleportation.
[Necklace of Water]
Let you breathe indefinitely underwater.
There were a bunch of other treasures as well, but Aldred gave them all to the three ladies. He didn't need any of these treasures. Besides, he already had a hill-size pile of treasures in his divine dimension.
The ladies were of course shocked when they received the items.
"Uhh, what do you want us to do with these, Senior?"
"Don't call me senior. Those items are yours."
"Ehh! Are you sure?"
Aldred nodded as his wives approached.
The ladies were mesmerized by their appearance immediately.
"So beautiful…"
The wives smiled and waved at them which made the three ladies blush.
"Hello," Stella greeted.
"H—hello." The three of them bowed. They were very nervous at this moment, and they detected a powerful aura from this tanned-skin woman. Something about her felt so powerful and ancient.
"I am glad that you guys are fine," Stella said. "How long have you been chased by those goblins?"
"Just recently," one of the ladies said. "If not for this respectable man… we might be dead right now."
Stella chuckled. "This respectable man is my husband. His name is Aldred. My name is Stella by the way."
"Your husband?" The three of them looked at Aldred and thought that it was a pity that he already had a wife.
"My name is Mary, and I am also his wife."
'Ohh, so he has two wives,' the ladies thought.
"I am Mira, and I am also Aldred's wife."
Then the wives proceeded to introduce themselves one by one.
The three ladies couldn't believe it. These nine goddess-like women were all his wives??? It was normal for a man to have multiple wives, but for them to be this beautiful and powerful…
"We thank you for saving us," the ladies said at the same time.
"No problem," Aldred said.
His wives smiled. They were glad that Aldred didn't get consumed by his hatred and refused to help other people. Although helping people didn't give them direct benefits, it was still good to do it whenever possible.
"But are you sure to give these items to us?"
"If you don't want them, then I will take them back," Aldred jokingly said.
"We want them."
Aldred chuckled.
The three ladies consisted of one magician, one warrior, and one healer. It was a typical adventure group that was perfect for small hunting in the forest, but for treasure hunting… They need far more people to survive.
The healer spoke: "My name is Lanalra. The magician is Sefni, and the warrior is Shaniya."
"Nice to meet you," Sefni and Shaniya said.
"My name is Aldred."
"Aldred… That name sounds familiar," Lanalra said. "Wait a minute, are you the Death Lord Aldred? The Golem Master Aldred?"
"Some people call me that," Aldred said.
"You are also called the Death Merchant," Sefni added.
"Why?"
"Your golem company is famous. Whenever someone buys your golem, thousands will die," Shaniya said.
Aldred creased his eyebrows. "I believe both sides buy golems and fight each other with it."
"That is true, but there are always casualties. Paphia and Yevilerian aren't your only customers."
"I cannot deny that. Anyway, how did you guys get in here?"
"We entered through a small lake," Lanalra said. "When we looked around, we found a treasure chest, but apparently it was a trap, and a group of goblins chased us. What about you?"
"I entered through the Great Lake," Aldred replied.
"I see. So there are different entrances to this place." Lanalra nodded. "Thank you again for saving us."
"Don't mention it."
Lanalra took out a bag from her spatial pouch. "There are five Sea Tokens within this bag. Please take it."
"Alright."
The three ladies were relieved that Aldred received their gifts. If not for that, they would feel uneasy.
"We will not bother you anymore. Please excuse us."
"What are you talking about?" Mary asked. "We are going through this Sea Tomb anyway. Come and join us. There are a lot of people coming along with us too."
Lanalra looked behind them and saw dozens or so of people. "Can we join?"
"Of course," Stella said. "Come with us, and I will make sure to groom you guys properly." Stella approached them and took their hands.
Sophia swam towards them and smiled with glee. Zafrina, Kiara, and Rachel decided to approach and grabbed them as well.
The three ladies were happy, but they couldn't help but be worried as well.
'Grooming for what exactly?' was what they thought at the time.
Proceeding further, they found an empty patch of ground, surrounded by thick seaweed.
"Let us camp there," Stella said.
They landed on the ground, and immediately set up a camp.
The three ladies experienced a culture shock.
"Do you guys normally camp while treasure hunting?" Lanalra asked.
"We like to enjoy ourselves whenever we have the chance," Mareona said.
"That's right," Stella said. "Come, let us put proper clothes on for you three." Stella dragged them into a tent.
They are helplessly dragged inside with Sophia and the other women pushing them.
"What are they doing?" Aldred said to himself. He shook his head as he entered his own tent along with Rachel and Ivette.
"Are you guys tired?" Aldred asked as he sat down.
Rachel and Ivette shook their heads.
"We have a lot of fun," Rachel said before she threw herself at him.
Rachel sat down on his lap and looked at him lovingly. Her breath became heavy and she was blushing.
"Why are you two looking at me like that?"
"When you save those three girls, I can't help but feel a little jealous," Rachel said. "But more than that, I feel warm."
Ivette kissed him on the cheek. "I feel the same thing."
"So what do you guys want to do now?" Aldred asked.
Rachel and Ivette chuckled before they pushed Aldred down.
