A Powerfull Assassin On Parallel World Become Demon Lord? - Volume 2 Chapter 25 We Need Money

The registration is completed without much trouble. She only asked about my personal information, how long I have been lived in Laverio. She also asked me if I have a relation with a country.

I answered that I was summoned 3 days ago in the middle of the plains and somehow lucky to follow the ship to go to Babel.

“Your form is complete, Alex-san. Do you have any questions?”

“Ah, I want to make money as soon as possible…”, I show a troubled face to her.

Recently, I show a lot of expressions, most of them are when I was angry. I realized that because I don’t have to hide my ability in this world. I also don’t use my emotionless face during an undercover mission.

Back on Earth, I have to hide my “secret” from anyone and make sure no information slip from my face. Having a calm attitude and always smiling, and have a distinguished family’s background, no one will know that I am an assassin.

“I see. Well then, I suppose I need to tell you from the beginning once again huh…”

“Sorry…”

“No problem. There are some ways to make money. First is register yourself as an adventurer. Take a mission and complete it to get paid. Do you know the job of an adventurer?”

“Something like killing the monster, I guess?”

“Certainly, monster subjugation is included in the work of adventurers. But to reach that point, adventurers have to earn the money to buy the equipment. There must also be people who can’t obtain a loan in the about that can purchase the equipment…for those kinds of people, the guild will act as a mediator to give the work. Well, it will be work like manual labor.”

Hearing that, the image I had of adventure adventurer until now was crumbling. I thought that and adventurers’ job was to carry weapons and fight the monster, but it seemed the reality was different.

“There are jobs like manual labor and various other jobs. Like that, adventurers save their money to buy weapons in preparation to fight monsters. When they defeated a monster, they will strip off the monster’s magic stone and the part that can be used practically, in other words, the monster material. By registering in the guild, adventurers can receive a request and they can have the guild buy the magic stone and the material from them.”

I know this method, but I don’t want my movement to restricted by the Guild. They could always monitor you once you register.

“Second is by selling item. Your armor is very good and I am sure that will give you decent money if you sell it at [Auction House]. There are also people who make a potion with their skills. You can hunt rare monsters to take their body parts and sell it to Adventurer Guild.”

I nodded once and ask her to continue.

“Third is Dungeon. This place is filled with monsters. You can harvest their body parts and [Monster Core] and sell them. You also can minimize your efforts to find a monster since the dungeon is an isolated place exclusive for monsters. Of course, the danger level is harder than the monster outside. There are a trap and many obstacles inside the dungeon. But if you are confident to overcome that, you will get rich in a short time. There are treasure chests too, deep inside the dungeon.”

“I see. Is there any dungeon here?”

“Yes, there are two big dungeons here and several small dungeons. Most of them are the cave-type dungeon. But I advise you don’t go to Cave of Despair and choose the other dungeon.”

“Why?”

“Cave of Despair filled with the undead monster, more accurately the adventurer who died inside the dungeon. The best item you can obtain in that place is old armor and weapon. You can take them as a memento for their family, but their family is poor, so you won’t get much from it.”

“Small dungeon usually was subjugated by adventurers. It’s dangerous to have too many dungeons in one place, the monster will come out to the outside if no one killing them regularly and damaging the city. You can join subjugation force too.”

“I see.”

Wait a minute, in every novel I read about the dungeon, the corpse inside the dungeon will be absorbed. I never know there is a dungeon using the victim as monsters.

I want to see it with my eyes.

“You can also choose to become [Bounty Hunter]. People who dealt with criminals and get the payment if they catch the wanted men. You can bring the criminal to Adventurer Guild and receive the bounty.”

The adventurer in my imagination is quite wild with a face like a ruffian. For normal Japanese, become an adventurer is a very dangerous job if you don’t have a cheat.

“Then are you already choose your answer?”

“Yes, first I want to go to [Auction House]. If I know what kind of item which popular, I could prioritize to find them. Is that okay for me just looking at the auction?”

“No problem. I will ask my staff to guide you to Auction House.”

“Thank you for your kindness.”

“No problem, I looking forward to your achievements Alex-san.”

“See you.”

“See you.”

A female staff accompany us and guide us to [Auction House]. The location is near the place for registration.[Auction House] us three-story building and on top of the building, there is a large wooden signboard with an unknown letter.

I should try to learn how to read and write. It seemed I would take a quite long time to return back on Earth, so at least I need to able to read and understand the language without magic from Arcadia.

After escorting us, the female staff leaves back to her duty.

“It was so boring you know. I want to eat human food.

“Arcadia, let me ask you something, do you have money?”

“No…”

“Then please bear with it for today, please.”

Arcadia isn’t fond of Human, the only thing she likes about Human is their food and gemstones.

I open the door quietly. Large Hall filled with a lot of people and there is a presenter standing on the stage introducing an item.

“This sword is an heirloom of a Hero. It has the ability to increase the wind type of magic. It also can increase your speed without wasting much mana. The price is open from 50 gold coins.”

Heirloom of a Hero?

I see that means, the Hero already summoned from a long time ago and they somehow have family here.

But 50 gold coins for a sword is very expensive…

“60 gold!!”

“80 gold!!”

“160 gold!!!”

Ohh, someone raised his voice out and risen the bid by two times.

“Tch…I don’t have much money…”

“Shit, I need the sword to duel, but my loan won’t afford me to buy that sword…”

In the end, the sword was sold to the guy who bid 160 gold coins.

“Next is our special items. They came from the Adventurer Guild. The genuine dragon’s blood.One of the ingredients of Elixir and if you mixing it with other medicinal ingredients, it will make the effects stronger a whole level. In addition, eating a pill that has dragon blood mixed in will provide you very robust nourishment, but it’s also said to prevent you from getting sick for a whole year. The price is open for 200 gold coins per bottle.”

There are 3 bottles of dragon’s blood. These bottles are about 1 liter each.

I thought no one would buy that expensive blood, but a man bid all those dragon blood. In the end, no one raising a bid, so that man gets those precious dragon blood.

“Don’t worry, there are other Dragon materials. Next is Dragon’s fangs. You could use these fangs to make a sword out of it. It’ll turn into something pretty great, Dragon swords easily surpassed the performance of the magic swords that come out of the dungeon. With such a sword, your dream to become champion would become true!!

Let’s open the price at 2000 gold coins!!!”

2000 gold coins…just for large teeth of a dragon?

A man from earlier who won the dragon blood also participated in the bid.

“2100 gold coins!!”

“Tch…that guy always showing off huh…”

“Let’s teach him a lesson.”

Thanks to my suits, I could pick up their conversation even when they are just whispering.

Maybe I could save him and make him owe me a favor…

The man winning the bid once again without any rivals. The next item also dragon scales but as expected, he also buys that despite the fact it was very expensive.

I unconsciously staring at Arcadia and she perhaps notices my stare.

“What? You want to ask my blood or my fangs? Just prepare for the punish- ahem, reward okay.”

She almost said punishment, but I will give up on selling dragon materials. I don’t know anyone to sell those dragon materials and if I directly sell them here, they will ask a lot of question and that only will spell trouble for me.

“Magic swords and rare material huh…”

That is my target if I want to go to dungeon or hunting monsters. I exited the [Auction House] and call 3 drones. One drone to monitor the rich man, the other 2 will monitor the bad guys. My AI will monitor them while I focused on making money.

What a reliable partner.

I headed to the dungeon, the spot is easy to find because of a large mass of adventurers lining on the entrance.

When we want to enter, the guards ask our adventurer card. I only have armband as a duelist and the guard said that insufficient to enter the dungeon because my rank is very low.

Well, if I can’t enter with the normal way, I can use [Stealth]. We easily passing the guard and enter the dungeon without much trouble.

The inside of the dungeon is quite spacious. The ground made by stone and on the ceiling, tree branches covering all areas. Light shining through the gap between the branches. Thanks to that, we don’t need to use any lighting source.

Several adventurers ahead of us are fighting slime. It’s funny to see slime jumping at the adventurer’s face, but that poor adventurer seems to be painful.

I guess a slime could inflict damage on humans. I passed them and headed to the second floor. This time, I don’t see anyone here, maybe they are already on the 3rd floor. The monster here is goblin. Green creature, smaller than human and has grotesque face with drool dripping from their mouth.

A small fry at most of the RPG type video game.

I undo my [Stealth] because no one will see us here. A goblin notice me and swinging around his stone axe. I let my body receive the attack to test the toughness of my new [Skin]. I removed the [Fake Armor] so my bare skin was seen.

After battling with Arcadia, my body gets fully covered by Nanoparticles, so I want to test it. The stone Axe shattered into several pieces and goblin stared at me and his weapon with a confused look.

“Well, I am satisfied with this result. Thank you, AI”

[No problem, my program is always to keep yourself alive after all]

“I know you are strong, but you are human right? And that smooth skin can destroy the stone axe? If you said yourself as a sort kind of monster disguised as a human, I would believe you.”

Arcadia seems to surprise to see the toughness of my skin but the test is not over. I grab the goblin head with my hand and casually lifted him.

The output of my power is slightly higher than when I using my armor as if I was holding a fragile object. I could easily crush his skull with my hand. I can hear the cracking sound from his skull.

Then I tried to make my hand replicate a drill gun. The result is a success. A drill gun attached to my right hand, when I thinking about rotating drill gun, it begins to spin with tremendous speed.

I am sort of Terminator right now, isn’t it?

The last ability is to change my face. After several tests, I found I could change my face with 99% accuracy. I could modify my hair too. My ability is close to shapeshifting but I can’t make mimic a child. Reducing my mass is impossible, but I can make my body higher, fatter with the help of Nanoparticles. I couldn’t imitate body odor, charisma or aura, so that makes it a bit imperfect.
