Chapter 40: The Demon King and Friendship

In the not very spacious tavern room, two fairly clean beds are placed side by side.

The room wasn't big, and it smelled, but at least it looked clean. Considering its price, such a hostel is already good.

In the room, Natalie unexpectedly looked at the loot that Green had brought back.

"Green, these are ......"

"The shield you got in the labyrinth. And this. Green lifted a rabbit, "Thunderhorn Rabbit, female." There is a pet store that is buying the cubs of the Thunderhorn rabbit for a long time, as well as the mother. ”

Natalie's eyes widened: "This ...... Where did you get it? ”

"It's a secret~" Green sat down on the bed, "That's right, Natalie." Is there any other way to bring the things in the labyrinth to life other than using God-given crystals? ”

"I'm not a maze scholar, so I don't know." Natalie looked at the things on the table, "Green, these things of yours can't be stolen, right?" ”

"Huh? Do you see me like that? Green couldn't help but roll his eyes, "These are all things I brought back from the labyrinth, all legal!" ”

"Bring it ......back from the maze," Natalie looked at the Thunderhorn Rabbit tied to the foot of the bed with a shocked face, "including this Thunderhorn Rabbit?" ”

"Yes." Green stared at Natalie with a grin.

"This ...... Can this be done? Natalie was shocked.

"This involves my secret. If you swear not to tell anyone else, I'll tell you. ”

Natalie looked at Green, "...... Yes! I swear I won't tell anyone else. ”

"I've found a way to convert labyrinth items into real items without God-given crystals." Green stared at Natalie intently.

Hearing Green's words, Natalie's eyes widened: "This...... Are you sure? ”

"This rabbit and shield are what I brought out of the maze." Green stared at Natalie, "Natalie, do you remember what I said earlier?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not an adventurer anymore. I plan to become a merchant and use my technology to buy all kinds of maze items from adventurers, and then convert the maze items into real items to make a profit. ”

Hearing Green's words, Natalie frowned slightly.

"Natalie, come and help me." Green stared at Natalie, "I need someone I can trust to run this business." ”

“…… I'm sorry, Green, I'm in a mess right now, please let me think about it. ”

"Hmm. Of course. Green smiled, "I just want you to understand what I'm capable of." ”

It was a long night.

Natalie lay in bed and couldn't sleep all night.

The next morning, at breakfast, the girl finally made up her mind.

"Green, I'm sorry, I can't accept your invitation." The girl seemed to let go of the burden in her heart, and the expression on her face looked very relaxed.

"Why?" Green was surprised, "If it's a matter of treatment, don't worry, we can discuss it slowly." ”

"But if that's the case, I'll become your subordinate, and I won't be able to be friends with you anymore, right?"

There was a look of astonishment on Green's face: "Why do you think so?" This kind of thing doesn't affect our friendship. ”

"Green, thank you for your kindness." A smile appeared on Natalie's face, "The so-called friendship can only be established when both parties are equal. I'm not the kind of person who wants to be subordinated to my friends. ”

Green frowned slightly: "...... Really? ”

"I'm sorry."

"Okay...... Greene was a little disappointed, "so what are you going to do in the future?" ”

"I will keep honing my skills in the labyrinth and become a powerful adventurer!" Natalie's eyes burned with a strong fighting spirit.

"A powerful adventurer? All right. The corners of Green's mouth turned up slightly, picked up the fruit wine on the table, and saluted the girl, "May courage and luck always accompany you!" ”

"Hey, hey~" Natalie smiled and picked up the fruit wine and touched it with Green.

After taking a sip, Green put the wine glass back on the table: "Although you don't want to help me, if it's an ordinary task, I should be able to entrust you to help, right?" ”

"Of course." Natalie shook the wine glass in her hand, "I'm an adventurer, and I still have the most basic professional qualities. But whether to accept it or not depends on my mood. ”

"I'm relieved to have your words. I want to buy a lot of all kinds of maze food, whether it's meat, vegetables and fruits. ”

"What about price acquisitions?"

"You are more familiar with the maze situation than me, what do you think is the right price?"

"Hmm......" Natalie thought for a moment, "the biggest problem with the labyrinth acquisition is the cost of transportation. If you buy at the place of origin, even if it's a small copper coin per pound, there are probably people willing to sell it. But if it is purchased on the first floor of the labyrinth, even if it is one copper semi (large copper coin) per pound, I am afraid that only those rookie adventurers who exercise in the grassland will deliberately bring back rabbit meat. ”

"Tsk...... If you have a large copper coin per pound, this price is very unacceptable. Green frowned slightly, "It's almost time to catch up with the price of wheat." ”

"You can go to the Adventure Guild and ask which layer of the Endless Labyrinth is the easiest to get food. Take your goods to the high-level labyrinth, sell them to adventurers, and then buy the high-level maze's specialties from the adventurers. While the caravans affiliated with the Adventure Guild are also doing this, Labyrinth Food is not on their list of acquisitions. ”

"Wow...... It always feels like a nuisance. Green had a tangled look on his face, "I'll go back and study it again." ”

If he could, Green wished he could make money at home. Running around like this, making so much trouble, Greene would rather go out of town to graze! If you are eating wild vegetables, it is not unacceptable to eat grass......

After exchanging and agreeing on a place to meet in the future, Natalie checked out and left.

Green asked the tavern owner to pack a meal and brought it back to his room.

"Chikage, come out to eat." Green said as he placed the food on the table and spoke to the shadow beneath his feet.

The shadow under Green's feet moved slightly, and a girl in a maid's costume came out of the shadow and hugged Green.

The girl hugged Green, rubbed it, sniffed it......

Feeling the girl's soft embrace, Green's mood was very delicate: "Qianying, you haven't eaten anything since yesterday, eat something." ”

"Hmm~" The girl hugged Green.

Halfway through, something was wrong with Green finally arriving.

"Chikage, why do you keep holding me?"

"I'm adding the 'master element.'"

"What the hell is the 'Master Element'!?" Green couldn't help but complain.

"The 'master element' is the motivation of the maid. As long as the owner is around, I will never get tired. ”

Greene: "......"

Because there are so many complaints, Green doesn't know how to complain.
