King of succubus-Chapter 235 Try To Deal With A Devilish Trader.
"Ahh shit! When does he plan to wake up?! Even if the time is in my favor, I can't be patient, knowing that every second past can help me progress! And this bastard, who has been meditating for several weeks now, still has no intention of opening his eyes; tsk, he's annoying!" She mumbled to herself while nervous.
She strolled aimlessly between the other rooms and the living room where Alvine was located to check the condition of the latter occasionally. She was not afraid that Alvine would flee in her absence since he was in a mansion sealed by her space powers, of which she was proud. Still, she was somewhat undecided as to whether she should interrupt the cultivation of Alvine, who cultivated without a specific purpose, according to her.
The mansion was on a meteorite that had no core; in other words, With the level of Alvine, it could not collect the spatial raw energy that was on the meteorite. A planet’s core was not only for keeping the planet alive but also as a transformer of natural (raw) energy into mana or divine mana to allow mortals and divine mages to absorb and cultivate this energy.
Typically, only primordial beings can use the raw and ferocious energy of space to restore their primordial energies. But Alvine, who had a body with a different constitution and could absorb all kinds of energies, did not have this problem. On the contrary, it was like a heavenly gift for him; a place with such energy was like invaluable wealth for him.
As a result, Alvine, who was in the living room cultivating this energy like a drunkard who delighted sake, rushed greedily and constantly absorbed this pure energy without considering his pain.
'Having the ability to absorb raw energy without going through my universal law, which helps me absorb all kinds of energy, is more painful than I imagined. At this rate, My magic canals will explode if I continue to be too hasty. My body is not yet used to absorbing such energy in this way. Sigh, I think it's a bad idea to try to provoke divine tribulations right now.' With this conclusion, Alvine ends up slowly opening his golden eyes.
"!!" But he was immediately surprised by crossing Linn’s gaze, who was in front of him only a few centimeters from him!
'Well, I'm going to cultivate a little more, just to forget this crazy woman one a little.' He said to Himself, closing his eyes once again. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖
"Hey! I know you're awake, so stop pretending!" Of course, Linn did not give him this opportunity a second time.
She shook him by the shoulder to disturb him before he once again became unconscious of his environment.
"Tsk, what else do you want?!" Frustrated, Alvine asked her in a monotonous and emotionless tone.
"...Ahem, you waste your time trying to cultivate here; mana is not filtered; there is only primordial energy, in other words, black energy, that helps beings like us or... above to cultivate. But you are not even a divine mage, so how do you intend to cultivate energy that the divine mages cannot even cultivate?" She briefly gave this explanation after her surprise to see her prisoner scold her as if it was she, Alvine’s prisoner.
"..." A mischievous smile appeared on Alvine's lips when he heard her explanation. But he did not reveal that he already knew what she was talking about, nor tell her that he could cultivate this energy.
On the other hand, Linn misinterpreted his smile. "Sigh; if you don't believe me, you can try as much as you want, but you’ll never be able to cross this cape."
"But?" Alvine asked, half-guessing her intentions.
-Smirk,
"Instead of wasting your time unnecessarily, what would you say to cooperate with me? In exchange, I'd give you everything you need to cultivate. Let it be mana stones, high-quality pills you won't even find with Sabrina and the others!" With her mocking smile, she tried to deal with Alvine.
'As I thought, for some reason, she hesitates to do anything that could hurt me. I thought at first that it was because of her link with Sabrina and the other Punishers that made her hesitant to hurt me. But according to her actions, this hypothesis does not hold up. Otherwise, she wouldn't capture me despite Sabrina's threat.' He said to himself, standing up on the sofa.
But before responding to her proposal, he looked at the mini-bar from afar and pulled towards him a whisky bottle and two wine glasses with his gravitational powers.
Confused by his actions, Linn did not interrupt him. But She watched him open the Whisky bottle, half filling the two glasses before pushing one of two towards her with an innocent smile from one ear to the other.
"Very well, I'm listening to you now, beloved mistress. But before starting the negotiations, I’d first like to check the goods to see if they are worth it." He gave this condition after taking all his time.
Linn frowned askance when she saw his behavior change drastically as soon as he heard her proposal. She did not have high expectations of him when she proposed this deal between them. But seeing Alvine, who was no different from a rotten young master spoiled by Sabrina, succumb so quickly. Even if she knew he was not honest with her, it was not too important to her because she had half achieved her goal. Yes, the most important thing was to find common ground with him.
As a result, she took the glass with her charming smile (which did not leave Alvine indifferent) and sipped the whisky while nodding her head.
"Well, come with me."
Following this sentence, Alvine instantly found himself in another room. It was faster than a beating of eyelashes!
Seeing her so skillful with spatial affinity, Alvine instantly understood why she is nicknamed “the mistress of space.” Not to mention him, even Sabrina could not show such a speed of teleportation.
But he did not have time to dig into this idea further when his thoughts were interrupted by Linn's voice, which resounded in the giant room that was like an infinitely large treasure room!
"Everything here will be yours. Weapons, artifacts, potions, even Odin stones; don't worry, they are all intermediate divine qualities and high levels." She declares while looking at piles of mana stones and weapons as if she looks at worthless goods.
But contrary to the reaction she expected from Alvine, the latter had disappointed her. Of course, Alvine was surprised by the size of the room, which was probably as large as his throne room on Freyja planet, but he was not surprised to see so many unpublished articles.
"Do you have Rayja and Linddra's articles?" He asked in a monotonous tone.
Linn immediately frowned when she heard him pronounce these two names. Just seeing her bitter expression, Alvine giggled inside.
'I know, even as one of the members of Punishers, you shouldn't have such items in abundance, right?' He said to Himself in an amused mood.
"Sigh, I now understand why my offer so lured you. But are you sure you deserve such treasures? Seeing you pronounce these names, I think you probably know who these two icons are. Am I wrong?" She asked in a disgruntled tone.
"Heh~, do I need to give you explanations? Show me one of the articles made by one of them, and I'll see if it's worthy of negotiation." Alvine, for his part, retorted this answer without considering his mood.
Linddra, known as Queen Alchemist, was one of the members of the Punishers and the only unparalleled alchemist in this universe!
She and Rayja have withdrawn from the war between the leaders and the Punishers since the time of the Great War and have disappeared without a trace for millennia.
Unlike her, Rayja was a master blacksmith who was with the Leaders. But like Linddra, he had no longer given news or forged weapons for his camp or the opposing camp.
The creations of these two icons are legends in the current era! In other words, These two icons are legends even among the primordials, thanks to their unique talents.
The most interesting thing was that they were not as strong as the other primordials but were the most respected among them; even the leaders of both sides did not dare to attack them. They were Untouchable and neutral in the war, even if they had opposing camps.
Linn sighed bitterly, understanding that Alvine had just revived her oldest memories. She was the closest person to Linddra, but Alvine did not yet know this fact.
"Linddra's articles, huh? Indeed, I have a few in my possession. But all the same, these articles are not free!" She said between her tight teeth.
-Smirk
"Haha~, Don't worry about that. Although I cannot guarantee to complete your request, I also know the value of their creations, so don't worry about these details." Alvine immediately answers with her strange smile.
"...All right, so come with me." After a moment of hesitation, she finally succumbed when she saw Alvine's instance.
But unlike before, this time, when she teleported with Alvine, instead of finding himself in a room, Alvine suddenly saw a large muddy black door in front of him that shone with a dark black glow.
"This door... it is made with the same material as the mysterious box I had obtained as a dowry from my wife; this door had constructed with the void’s tears, a material that can block even primordial beings’ perception. It's necessarily her treasure room; I wonder what's behind this door.' He then said to himself that impatience made him go up his adrenaline.
'Maybe this kidnapping is evil for good, in the end.' He continued to watch the door open, accompanied by a dull noise. At that moment, his eyes widened when he saw the room's interior. 'Hm? What's this mess?!' He incredulously thundered in his mind.
