"Um… Aki, how much of your paynt from the expedition do you still have left?"
The boy took a few steps back and whispered to the cat-eared girl,
"Please. I really want this bow!"
"You…"
Aki's full na was actually Anakitty Autumn, but because it was a little complicated, the friends around her usually shortened it to Anakitty.
In truth, she could also tell that the weapon this "Heroic Smith" had just displayed was genuinely excellent.
Even she felt tempted to try it.
Fortunately, she was not good with bows.
As for her companion… his spending money for the month was probably gone.
After exchanging money for goods, Drake looked at Anakitty.
"Next, it's your turn, fluffy cat person miss."
"…One-handed sword."
Anakitty decided not to reveal a single extra word. If the weapon he brought out failed to satisfy her, she would reject it on the spot.
"A sword, huh… That makes things much easier."
Seeing the cat-eared girl looking as if she was sulking, the corners of Drake's mouth could not help rising.
If one were to ask which type of weapon had the greatest number in Terraria…
It would definitely be swords.
After thinking for a mont, Drake did the sa as before and pulled out a gorgeous blade that was entirely ocean blue from beneath the counter.
This was a weapon that could only be crafted after defeating the Desert Scourge.
Its na was the Seashine Sword.
Crafting it required certain materials from the Sunken Sea.
Since Drake had already made this sword, that ant he had already discovered traces of the Sunken Sea.
However, he had only briefly explored its surface and had not gone deeper.
After all, he really had been too busy lately.
After defeating the Eye of Cthulhu this ti, he could properly explore the Sunken Sea.
"Seashine Sword. When attacking, it fires water-blade sword energy. It also possesses an indestructible property."
"As you can see, this is a magic sword…"
Drake smiled at the catgirl, whose eyes were already shining, and stated an astronomical number.
"Twenty million valis."
For a top-class adventurer like Ais, perhaps that amount could still be earned in a short period through extra work.
But Anakitty was only an ordinary high-class adventurer at Lv.4.
All the equipnt on her body combined was not as expensive as this sword.
"Don't look at . I'm already broke."
Raul tightly gripped the Barinade he had just obtained and cautiously backed away several steps.
"If you want to borrow money, go ask Lefiya."
"Ah? ?"
Hearing her na, a blonde elf girl with her hair tied in a ponytail blinked.
"But even if we add in the mission paynt I've saved up, it still wouldn't be enough to buy that bow."
"Guh… Does that an I can only give up?"
Anakitty's cat ears drooped in disappointnt.
She could only walk to the side gloomily, reluctantly watching as Drake placed the Seashine Sword back into the display case.
Its beautiful shape and powerful performance had made her fall in love with the weapon at first sight.
Unfortunately, she did not have enough money.
"Next ti I co, I'll bring enough money to buy that sword."
Suddenly, Anakitty looked at Drake's back and spoke.
"Before then, could you take it out of the display case?"
"Oh? In other words, dear custor, you would like to reserve this sword?"
Although Drake's gaze was very calm and held no particular emotion, for so reason, Anakitty still sensed a hint of teasing in it.
"…Yes. Please reserve this weapon for ."
The cat-eared girl secretly gritted her teeth.
After going back, it seed she would have to borrow money from the other mbers of the Familia!
Fortunately, she usually had good relationships with the people around her, so she should be able to scrape together twenty million valis.
As for the price of the Seashine Sword, Anakitty did not doubt it.
If it truly possessed two magical properties as Drake had said, then that price actually seed rather cheap.
After "receiving" several more lower-level mbers of the Loki Familia, Drake turned his gaze to the final person.
"Now then, this lovely elf miss. Is there any equipnt you want?"
The remaining adventurer was the blonde elf girl from earlier, Lefiya.
"Hmm… I don't think I really need anything in that regard."
After thinking for a mont, Lefiya shook her head sowhat regretfully.
As a mage, she did not have much expectation for this place.
To craft magical items such as staves or grimoires, one had to rely on alchemists with abilities like Mystery or Magecraft.
The Hephaestus Familia's reputation was indeed great, but that was limited to smiths — in other words, the blacksmithing faction.
However, seeing Lefiya's attitude instead stirred a strange competitive desire in Drake.
"In that case, why not try this?"
Then Drake took out a five-pointed star glowing with a soft blue light from his inventory.
[Mana Crystal: Permanently increases maximum mana by 20 after use. Can increase maximum mana up to 200.]
At night in Terraria, shining stars would occasionally fall from the sky.
Those stars from space could actually be collected and used as materials.
Every five Fallen Stars could be crafted into one Mana Crystal, which was used to increase maximum mana.
Drake had only recently raised his own maximum mana to 200, reaching the point where it could no longer be increased.
This Mana Crystal was an extra one.
Since the thing did not cost much to make anyway, once a teor Shower event occurred, he could practically craft them as if they were free.
So Drake simply took it out to see whether it would work on Orario's adventurers.
"An item that can increase maximum mana?"
Lefiya curiously accepted the Mana Crystal and was just about to ask how to use it.
But then she realized that the blue star in her hand suddenly seed to lt, sinking into her body.
A strange sensation burst out from the depths of her soul, making Lefiya let out a soft cry.
"Mm…"
The next instant, a brilliant storm of magical energy swept outward with the elf girl at its center, surging like a hurricane and scattering everything around her.
Even Drake had not expected that a single Mana Crystal he had casually taken out would cause such a result.
At that mont, only one thought remained in his mind.
"Crap. Looks like I'm going to be late for work today."
