"....It is an honor to meet you, Miss. I have certainly heard about your beauty, but they did not do you justice."
Raed clasped his fists together and complimented her. She was indeed beautiful, but nowhere near as beautiful as Sara. That little girl would become an extraordinarily beautiful fairy when she grew up, and Raed considered Sara to be his.
".....The young master is very flattering. Well, the girl said you are an alchemist and want to sell some pills. Can you show me?"
Noticing that Raed's eyes were clear and unaffected by her beauty, and that she did not see any lust in his eyes despite her attempts to entice him, she got straight to the point but became more interested in Raed.
"....Alright, they are just first-level pills. I hope you won't be disappointed..."
Raed said and took out numerous alchemy pills, but they were all of the first level. There was a total of 250 pills, some different from others and some the same.
However, there were no low-quality pills; they all started from the medium grade, about 50 medium-grade pills with a purity rate of 70% and 30% impurities.
There were 180 high-grade pills with a purity rate of 80%, and 20 top-grade pills with a purity rate of 90% and 10% impurities.
When Shang Lin saw these pills, her eyes lit up and she asked,
"...Did you make these pills, young master?"
"...Yes, I made them, but I can't make second-level pills yet. I haven't tried. How much will you give me for these, Miss?"
Shang Lin remained silent for a while, then smiled and said,
"...I'll give you 500,000 gold coins..."
Raed was shocked by the amount and said,
"...Isn't that too much?"
Shang Lin smiled like a beautiful fox and said,
"....No, you deserve it, but don't forget us if you refine your pills again. Well, do you want to buy something?"
"....Alright, I want some beautiful clothes and accessories for that little girl Sara, lots of clothes, and also many gray-colored clothes for me and a heavy sword weighing around 300 kg..."
Raed requested some clothes for Sara because he didn't want to see her in those worn-out clothes. He also wanted to buy a heavy sword to suit his strong body.
As for the gray clothes, he didn't know why, but he found himself unconsciously liking this color even though he had never tried it before.
"...Alright, it's a small matter. Wait, I'll personally bring you these items..."
She left for a while, then came back to Raed with a storage ring in her hand and gave it to him.
"...Well, I don't have money for this ring..."
Raed said shyly. Storage rings were definitely expensive, and they also had grades depending on their internal space.
".....Hahaha, it is a gift from the Global Trade Pavilion..."
She placed her hand over her mouth and smiled, then gave the storage ring to Raed. Raed left and examined the storage ring with his spirit.
Its space was about 500 meters, not large, but its price was very high because it required rare space stones to make, and not just any blacksmith could craft it. It also contained many beautiful clothes of different colors, the sword, and 10,000 gold coins.
"....Alright, it seems I owe the Global Trade Pavilion. That big fox definitely intended this..."
While returning, Raed heard a loud shout and saw many people gathering, so he went and asked one of the people.
"...Brother, what's happening?"
"Hahaha... It's funny, brother. This giant kid there works as a servant for those people. They asked him to feed the spirit beasts, and he ate the food and the beasts too... Hahaha..."
The young man said while laughing.
Raed smiled, finding the situation funny and was about to leave, but the celestial bead shook slightly, making him stop immediately and walk towards the person being beaten.
He found a young man with an innocent face like a child, covering his face while being beaten but not resisting. Strangely, he was about 3 meters tall, very peculiar.
"...Alright, guys, leave him. I'll compensate you with 5000 gold coins..."
Raed took out 5000 gold coins and gave them to the people, and they finally stopped beating the young man.
"....Okay, but it's better not to take this kid. He will cause famine in the country with how much he eats..."
"...Never mind, big guy, let's go..."
Raed took the giant young man and left. While on the way, Raed asked the kid about his home.
It turned out that when he was 5 years old, a kind man found him and raised him, but he needed a lot of food, and he was never satisfied. Knowing that the man was poor, he left to look for food, but when he returned, he found the entire village slaughtered.
"...Alright, what is your name? Do you have a name?"
Raed asked. He noticed that this man had the mind of a child; he was quite dim-witted, so he decided to take him in out of concern for him and also because of the celestial bead's reaction.
".....I don't know, aaah, I remember, I am called Ymir.."
Ymir scratched his head stupidly, then remembered.
"....Who gave you this name, the old man?"
"....No, it was in my head..."
Ymir said, then his stomach growled, and he said,
"....I am not hungry. I will eat a little, don't worry, don't kick me out..."
Raed felt sad for this child and said,
".....Don't worry, I won't send you back. From now on, we will be brothers. I won't let you go hungry again, alright..."
"....Brothers... Haha... I have a brother now, haha, very good, I have a brother..."
Ymir said happily like a little child, making Raed like him even more. He was a very honest child.
"It seems the family is growing by one..."
