Chapter 46：The Dungeon Lord closes the deal.

So, there were we... Me, Bia and her unconscious brother... all on the same table... again.

"Hello Bia, what's up?" ;)

"Oh, the same as always: bringing lunch to my brother, finding him fainted by the table and you smiling on the other side."

"You make it sound like it's my fault."

"No, no, you misunderstood. But you have to agree with me that while once may be a misunderstanding, if it happens twice it starts getting suspicious, so make sure it doesn't happen a third time or you will be considered guilty."

"I will do my best but I make no promises..."

"So, what brings you here today?"

"Oh, business actually. I want to know if I can buy some items from you guys or if you know where I can buy them."

"Hmm... What items?"

"A bed, mattress, some clothes, a table, four chairs, a book stand and a wardrobe."

"Clothes and mattress aside, all of them can be bought from Ron, he loves to craft those things."

"Great, and the clothes and mattress?"

"The clothes...many married women know how to make clothes in the village, I will have to ask who has the time for it, as for the mattress, it's pretty much the same thing but you will need enough feathers or cotton to fill it, and those you won't be able to find here."

"OK, so, if I ask you to take care of the clothes to me, can you help me out?"

"Of course!....for a fee." ;)

"Well, I was not expecting you to do it for free...Oh, one more thing, money, can you exchange these?"

I showed 3 diamonds, 2 topaz and 2 rubies I was carrying.

"T-t-these are..."

"3 diamonds, 2 topaz gems and 2 rubies."

"I know! I mean..."

"Yeah?"

"too precious!!"

"That's a no?"

"How much do you want for them?"

"The rubies and topaz should go for 20-30 gold coins, as for the diamond 100 each. How about 300 gold coins for everything?"

"Look around, where do you think we can get that many coins here? We would have to sell half the village to get that many coins, there is no way we can pay that much!"

"Then, how about this, I give you a diamond and you take care of all I asked, as for whatever is left, it's yours."

"DEAL!"

"Great. So, these are the clothes I want: 5 shirts, 5 pants, 2 coats, 2 leather boots and a robe."

"OK, let me write here...done."

"Do you have any bags as well? I need at least 1 urgently..."

"No problem, I will get you one as we leave here, anything else?"

"No, aside the wood crafts, nothing is left."

"The bed will be single or double?"

"Double."

"All right...here, read it and sign it if you agree."

"Let's see... Mr. Plate will pay 1 Diamond gem... Ms. Bia will deliver the following items within one month... blah blah blah... 5 shirts, 5 pants, 2 coats, 2 leather boots, 1 robe, 1 double bed, 1 mattress (filling not included), 1 table, 4 chairs, 1 book stand, 1 wardrobe, 1 large sack. Yup, everything is here...wait, 1 month!?"

"Well, it takes time to finish all these things. Don't worry I will deliver them as soon as they are finished instead of everything at once."

"All right then, thanks, that would be very helpful."

With a firm handshake and my signature on the contract, we closed our deal.

"So, how came you are here again? it's been only 2 days, you should be lying down resting..."

"Oh, well, it seems like I heal quickly, the wound is already closed and while not yet 100%, it should get there in a day or two..."

"What!? Are you even human!? How can you heal that quickly!?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know. Maybe it's the Mana in the Dungeon. It makes things grow faster, maybe it also has some effect in healing as well. Ruyk seems to be back on his feet as well, this morning when I woke up he was missing..."

"Missing? Aren't you worried?"

"Why? I honestly doubt he left the Dungeon, and inside the Dungeon there are no dangerous traps or creatures to hurt him, so he should be fine..."

"What if he is hungry? or thirsty?"

"He can ask the sprites for water and he knows where the food is stored, so he should have no problem..."

"Hmm....if you say so...well, the goblin is yours, so it's you who needs to care for it."

"Talking about pets, your dogs are barking pretty loud in my cave. When are you planning on taking them back?"

"Dogs? Oh!!! Heheh, if they are as loud as you say, maybe they need to stay a bit longer..."

"Please don't, just take them home, I want to work in peace..."

"All right, I will see what I can do..."

"So, anything else or can we wake up my brother now?"

"Then it's better for me to leave first, I wouldn't want your efforts to wake him be wasted in the chance he sees my face as he wakes up and end up fainting again..."

"Before you go, say hello to Leticia, she is anxiously waiting for that Water Sprite you promised."

"Oh, yeah! I almost forgot about it...Sorry but I will have to leave it for another day..."

"It's your promise! Don't you dare forgetting it! She will cry!"

"Sure, sure, don't worry. It will be the first thing I will do when I get home. Tell her to come receive it in 8 days, I will be going now..."

Not forgetting to take my War Hammer, I step out of the house...

After taking no more than 3 steps, I hear Bia's voice again.

"Hey Plate, you are forgetting the sack. Here you go."

"Oh, thanks, this will help me out a lot!"

Leaving the village, I go to the river for a bit before heading back home.

Arriving on the river... nothing happens, but I still take out my boots and take a moment to feel the refreshing feeling of the river on my feet.

10-15 minutes later, I put my shoes again and head back to the cave.

There is still half the day left and I have plenty of things to do...

All right, as soon as we arrive, let's summon a Water Sprite Egg to fulfill the promise and then grab some turpin seeds with the help of the sack.
