Versatile: Alternate World 85 Chapter 85

Everyone dispersed away from the Green Spider Queen's lair after the hooded NPC disappeared. With nothing to do since the NPC also took the drops, we decided to head off. I managed to earn 2% EXP which is pretty small. Well. its not a wonder since I am already beyond the level of the Green Spider Queen. Its already a good sign to have 2% of EXP earned after beating it up. Besides that, there are also lots of people competing for it, I am not that troubled with it.

Dolly benefited more since she rose two levels after beating that wild boss. Might be the effect of the Memento Mori since we are on the same party. I already tested the effects with Harmless Sparrow so I am not mistaken on this.

Dolly stopped walking and faces towards me. She looked around a bit and seeing that no player is currently nearby, she turned serious.

"You are Bladeheart aren't you?" Dolly stares at me hard. Although she can't see my face, she still continue to look at me incredulously.

"Heh, took you long enough to guess," I said chuckling at her.

"Wah! So you really are Bladeheart! No wonder you are so strong! Harmless Sparrow even said you are not easy to find but who would have thought that you would become one of the people who managed to make a party with me!" Dolly suddenly gets giddy as she squealed.

"Don't you dare say this to anyone else. You are just in luck since I am in a good mood and revealed this little secret of mine," I said to her although it was already shown earlier since that NPC nonchalantly exposed my name. Luckily, they are too preoccupied with listening on the names that they seemed to forget my name's mighty existence.

"Of course, although I really want to shout it out with my friends, I really can't. I heard from Harmless Sparrow that you are so protective with that name of yours and you will surely beat her up and reduce her levels if she dare to say it to the other people. I don't want to have my newly earned level 30 to drop back to level 28 again!" Dolly pouted.

"Good that you knew my policy." I nodded at her.

"Anyway, thanks for allowing me to gain the chance to win the quest for becoming a pioneer!" She smiled at me, with her pure face. Although it has a slight alteration with her real face, I can still tell the resemblance of her avatar's face to her real life face.

"Hmph, don't forget our bargain. In fact I should have extorted you more since you successfully gained the quest," I faked my groaning in dismay with a bit of chuckle.

"Bleh, you petty scammer. You should have done that earlier!" Dolly showed we tongue ridiculing me before running away and waving her hands.

"Anyways, see you tomorrow! Let's meet up on that cliff alright?" Dolly smiled again before sprinting away.

I just shook my head. Just like how she did in the past, she is still a d.a.m.nable character that you can't help curse sometimes. But still, I hope this helps me persuade her from stopping on riding that airplane which led to her death. If this would help, I would be glad to party with her for a fee times. Although I did party with her a few times, I don't plan to abandon my plan to raid the game in solo. If I have the chance to change history, I have to make myself strong.

I summoned Leona and go to the Blacksmith shop where Almira is currently working. I had to change that refined material into a weapon that would allow me to gain a new weapon helpful enough for my Versatile Weapon to grow.

Leona was quite eye catching now and even though I keep on using Leona most of the time, many players still had their eyes filled with envy and greed in their eyes while looking at my precious mount.

I recalled Leona before entering the Blacksmith shop.

This time, Almira is currently relaxing, wearing her Red blazers and her blue bandana currently on her neck instead of its usual place on her head, her orange hair fell down on her shoulders as she is currently dipping tea. When she turns around and see me, she seems to have her mood lighten a bit.

"Oh, its you. I though its that d.a.m.nable f.a.ggot again," Almira slumped on her chair as she sips her tea again.

"d.a.m.nable f.a.ggot? Who is this that made you so angry?" I asked as I prepared my materials on the forge.

"Nah, its just that guy on the lower bridge, he just keep on messing this busy lady everyday just to chat. I really wanted to smack his face into the forge if I have to but I have not gone too far to do it," Almira puts the teacup down to the table as she looks at me again.

"I heard from Simona that you already bought a mansion with you, where is it and how much have you paid for it?" Almira begins talking now and is currently prying on my matters.

"Nah, it is not a cheap price. I had to pay one million gold coins to buy that mansion. Moreover, I had to clear its monsters out to secure it as mine," I said to her as I added a bit g coal to the forge to raise the heat inside again.

"Monsters? This is the first time I heard about monsters once you buy a mansion but what the heck is this mansion anyway?" Almira scratched her head.

"Its the Mansion of the Magician Duke. Its impossible for you to never know what and where the Mansion of the Magician duke is," I said to her.

"Pfft!" Almira spotted out her tea that she is currently sipping in after hearing the name of the Mansion and cursed.

"F*cking d.a.m.n! Its the Mansion where countless of undead manifested and who would have thought that you will be the new owner of that d.a.m.nable mansion. I just hoped that you didn't have to say it while I am drinking tea!" Almira wiped off the spilled tea on the table.

"Well, you asked me, of course I would say it," I shrugged as I begin my ore processing.

"..." Almira is speechless. She frowned on this but can't do anything at all.

She continued sipping her tea when again, she spitted her tea with a "Pffft!" sound.

"T-that ore!" Almira shook while pointing at the green ore on my hand.

"Huh? What about it?" I showed it to her and I can see that he was shaking with excitement.

"This ore. My hands is tingling with antic.i.p.ation! My mind's creativity is surging! I can't help caressing this ore forever!" Almira said as she slowly stroked the ore like a cat.

"Are you stroking someone's b.u.t.t in your imagination?"

Almira looked at me with disgust. Then she looked again on the ore.

"Tell me, do you plan to make this ore into a weapon?" Almira asked me.

"Uh yeah, I plan to use it as a practice ore to make a weapon to let my Versatile Weapon to devour," I said to her.

"Ugh, you are just wasting an ore's chance to shine. But since you plan to make a weapon, as my apprentice, what weapon would be suitable for this ore?" she raise the ore in her hands and look at me.

"Uh... I plan to make a staff on this one since I have no confidence on making weapons in higher level..." I was about to explain more but Almira interrupted me.

"I have to hold onto this," Almira gripped the ore on her hands.

"Huh?"

"This ore would be a waste of it failed to form as a weapon on your guide. Therefore, I will be using it instead and make a weapon," Almira said to me in a straight face.

"Huh?!"

"Don't worry, the weapon is still going to end up yours. Just let me use my creativity sickness a bit to form a good weapon out of this ore!" Almira stroked again on that ore.

"... I just wanted to forge my own weapon..." I frowned.

"Bah! This ore would get wasted in your hands. Your petty level and your petty worksmanship is not enough to produce a world cla.s.s weapon," Almira said as she readies all of the equipment needed for forging.

"I don't really need the fanciness of the weapon anyways, I only needed to produce a weapon and let my own weapon devour it," I said to her in hope of reasoning.

"Tch, you really lack the pa.s.sion of the blacksmith. I don't know why I took you as one of my apprentice although you lack the qualities of a good blacksmith. Anyways, you will just be in the way of my forging, just go out and spend your time with your girlfriend or whoever it was. Make sure to get laid before the wedding and don't forget to send me an invitation alright?" Almira is clearly shooing me away!

"The f*ck! I don't even have a girlfriend! How can I marry anyway? Marry myself? What the f*ck?" I roared.

"Tch, just look around and you will surely find one, I don't really care whatever you do as long as you don't disturb me in my forging process. Come back here later this evening and take the masterpiece alright? Now go scram wherever you want to go, sail the 7 seas, climb ten mountains or strip the girls in the streets, I don't care, just go and scram!"

"..."

I really have the urge to beat up this NPC and show my middle finger but I am afraid I will end up as a fuel on the forge if I don't obey. I don't know why this woman is so dangerous whenever I want to talk about forging.
