Chapter 119 The Daughter Of Fire And Steel 2

"Fifteen minutes? Alone?" Hach couldn't believe the instructions of the butcher. Yet instead of complaining. All three slaves made requests instead.

"Master, do you have a weapon the dimensions of a greatsword?" inquired Aurum.

Larua on the other hand requested the opposite. "Master, I will perform better with twin middle-sized blades. Would you happen to have some?"

As the two made basic requests, Geo asked for something absurd. "Master, I request a weapon with better mana receptivity. It is for my skill [Magic Swordsman]."

As the entire caravan waited in anticipation, Hiro then suddenly pulled out swords from thin air. He gave an extremely wide greatsword to Aurum, a couple of compact longswords to Lars, and a katana to Geo.

"Dump your calibers into the weapons and see their effects. Their limit is 500 points. They are yours from now on. You have 14 minutes remaining. Get to it."

"YES, MASTER!" X3

Seemingly pleased with his gifts, the three each rushed to their targets with renewed vigor. Hach and his crew looked on in envy at the slaves. Swords that could have effects when imbued with calibers could be considered high-class magic weapons.

Most don't even have the funds to get a magic weapon as their ingredients were extremely expensive. They might be able to if they save enough money for a low-class one, but those have pitiful effects compared to the ones Hiro just handed out.

Low-class magic weapons usually only had basic attributes. Edges that do not dull, weapons that are lighter when sheathed, or weapons that have a specific element. While extremely practical they couldn't accept calibers.

The ones that do, allow for explosive increases in power, weapon abilities that invoke various effects, or combat-related buffs that significantly shift the tide of battle.

Because of such a wide distinction, what weapon a person uses could be considered a measure of their success on Valorious. Seeing the caravan escorts biting their lips in envy, Hiro grew nostalgic at the weapon his girls created for him.

'Ah, at times like these, I marvel at how amazing the [Blade of Mitsurugi] was as a weapon. I will have the girls make me a new one then hide it in my inventory like a good luck charm so it doesn't break.'

"Ah, Musashi-sama were those weapons part of your loot from ruins in the Frozen Dew Forest? Do you perhaps have some that I could purchase from you? I am willing to trade in more products if you like. How about a couple of sexy maids?"

Hiro got interrupted from his daydreaming due to Alan trying to make a brand new trade. 'Good grief, this money grubber just doesn't let up does he?'

"No, I don't have any to sell, they are not from ruins. I made them from monster parts and calibers in my spare time. Their durability is low but the effects are good.

"I have more of the spare parts if you want, but I will not make weapons for you. I will trade them for clothes for both my slaves and myself."

A bit dejected from losing the chance to procure magic weaponry. Alan maintained his smile as he responded in high spirits. Anything could be sold so long as you know who to sell it to.

"Oh! Excellent! Even just the materials are fine. I have some battle suits that will fit you all! I have a list of materials I am searching for, and am more than willing to take them off your hands should you be in possession of them.

We can continue the exchange in items, If you need something I do not currently have I will procure them for you at our next destination."

For the next several minutes Hiro and Alan hammered out the details of their agreement. To save on cargo space, the trade will be done when they arrive in the next city.

Hiro then requested for an item that left everyone's eyes in contempt. "Alan, do you have wedding rings to sell?". Instead of a straight answer, the caravan escorts including Alan gave him questioning stares.

"Wedding rings? Hiro-sama I am sure you mean wedding necklaces right? No one uses rings anymore since they became the symbol of NTR."

Puzzled by the cold judgmental glares of the peanut gallery Hiro wondered what the hell did he do to get such a treatment. "I have no idea what you are saying, explain from the beginning."

Alan who knew Hiro had no reason to lie started to explain patiently. "Hiro-sama about five hundred years ago. A high-ranking noble made wedding rings to sell, he lobbied his crafts on married women with the idea that his rings gave beneficial effects compared to standard rings.

"The problem arose when the bastard placed arrays into his products, the arrays had one purpose: to forcefully NTR the wives from their husbands into the Noble's battle harem."

Hiro asked in shock, "What? How? What? Why?"

"Exactly, as the Noble had a domination rank of S, he targeted beautiful countryside wives and used domination orders to rape them. The man then turned the wives into his sales ladies after he moved to a new area to start his business anew.

"Due to the sudden disappearance of the noble women and the lack of information about what he looked like more than 20 women were abducted before the criminal got apprehended. It took three years to catch him, in that period to be safe wedding rings became taboo items.

"The event marred the symbol of wedding rings in such a negative manner, the nobility stopped using them for vows entirely. They had since moved to use necklaces."

The reincarnator grew angry at the fucker even though his crimes were 500 years in the past. "I hope he got what he deserved, no wonder no one uses them anymore."

Alan smiled brightly as he confirmed it was due to ignorance that his patron asked for the rings. Currently, wedding rings had a stigma as items for people who had cheating and NTR fetishes. Any merchant caught selling wedding rings would have his business shut down without questions.

"According to the History books, all the wives were returned to their spouses unharmed except for the stains on their honor, meanwhile the noble got castrated and sent to the monster mines. He died a year later from having his rear end ripped apart by fornication with a minotaur.

"As for your request, I do have some fine Wedding Necklaces I have on hand. Some are even priced as much as a high-ranked magic weapon."

Annoyed Hiro quipped to the merchant "I already told you I won't make you any. Stop trying. Show them to me."

The merchant clicked his tongue in disappointment as he asked his servant to fetch a couple of boxes from the carriage.

"I wouldn't be a merchant if I stopped doing business just because someone said No. But I am curious who would these be for?"

"What do you mean who? For my wives of course."

"Eh? You are the one giving them?"

"What? Is that weird?" asked Hiro.

Alan then explained "It is, in Valorious, subs are the ones who ask for marriage, the doms are the prize everyone wants to get after all. Well, that is for case for doms who are above S rank at least."
