Chereads / The Armor Thief / Chapter 10 - Making Demands

Chapter 10 - Making Demands

"You go back and tell your teacher that if she wants me to treat her, it's okay, but... I have some requests." Since he had already agreed, Finn started thinking about how to get more benefits from this.

 

"What requests?" When Fiona heard that Finn was willing to treat her teacher, her eyes widened at once. When Finn treated her before, Fiona had begged him to treat her teacher too, but Finn refused firmly. He said that if Fiona told others about this, she shouldn't come to him for help anymore. Now that Finn had suddenly changed his mind, how could Fiona not be happy? She blinked her eyes and pretended to be a very cute and obedient innocent girl as she looked at Finn and said, "As long as you can cure my teacher, I promise I'll do whatever I can for you, including..." Fiona didn't finish her sentence. But from her eyes that seemed innocent yet a bit flirtatious and the blush that spread from her face to her neck, Finn could guess what she meant.

 

To be honest, Fiona was beautiful and had a great figure. Finn was not uninterested in her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had those physical reactions. However, Fiona's moody and strange personality gave Finn a headache. If he got together with Fiona, he was really afraid that one morning he'd wake up to find that she'd cut off an important part of his body for an alchemy experiment. So he thought about it carefully and didn't dare to think further.

 

"I have two requests. First, I want that skill book. Second, if possible, get me a level - 7 or higher spiritual - light weapon, preferably a power - type heavy weapon."

 

In the Spellberg Continent, equipment is divided into seven grades: Crack - light, Spiritual - light, Illusion - light, Manifest - light, Holy - light, Aurora - light, and Divine - light. Each grade is further divided into ten sub - grades. Finn currently had two good daggers. One was a Crack - light grade 9, and the other was a Spiritual - light grade 2. Logically, even if he became a superhuman, these two weapons would still be usable. But the problem was that Finn didn't want to be just a thief. The great strength from body multiplication allowed him to hold more powerful heavy weapons. If he learned warrior skills, using two small daggers wouldn't be able to bring out the advantages of those warrior skills. This meant that if Finn's dream came true, changing weapons was inevitable. Moreover, with the strength from body multiplication, he had no problem using a heavy weapon with one hand. That's why Finn had the idea of making demands on Fiona's teacher.

 

"No problem!" Fiona immediately agreed to Finn's requests. A level - 7 or higher spiritual - light weapon was precious, but it was nothing compared to her teacher's illness. Besides, with her teacher's status as a master alchemist, it wouldn't be hard to get a level - 7 or higher illusion - light weapon, let alone a spiritual - light weapon. If Finn had asked for a level - 7 or higher illusion - light weapon, Fiona might have to go back and discuss with her teacher. But for a level - 7 or higher spiritual - light weapon, she could make the decision herself. The girl first gave Finn an affirmative answer, and then, as if she was afraid that Finn would change his mind, she quickly asked, "Then when are you free to go to Alchemy City?"

 

"Wait a while." Finn thought for a moment and said, "I have some things to deal with recently and can't leave. In a few days, two or three months at most, I'll go to Alchemy City myself."

 

Although Finn really wanted the skill book for increasing the speed of converting soul power into spiritual energy and also wanted to get a handy weapon as soon as possible, he wouldn't go to see Fiona's teacher until he had enough self - protection ability. In his opinion, like teacher, like student. Judging from Fiona's usual behavior, her teacher was probably also a crazy alchemist. Finn thought that if he went to Alchemy City now, maybe that old guy would catch him and use him as a guinea pig for research. He didn't want to be cleaned up and lie on a lab bench to be studied by a wrinkled old man.

 

After talking about the business, Finn made up an excuse and left the Alchemist's House.

 

Leveling up to superhuman, upgrading, learning skills, making money, learning secondary occupations... Finn felt like he had countless things to do. However, it was already late when he left the Alchemist's House. He had only eaten a few pieces of dry bread in the morning, and now he was really hungry. Finn patted his stomach and without hesitation, he walked into a tavern not far from the Alchemist's Guild.

 

Actually, Finn wasn't good at drinking, and the food at Moran's Tavern wasn't very tasty either. But every time he was hungry, Finn would unconsciously open the door of Moran's Tavern.

 

It's true that otakus are lonely. Finn hated the feeling of being alone with nothing to do. When he was on Earth, even when he was eating instant noodles, he would turn on a movie to watch. It didn't matter what the movie was about. As long as there was some sound in his ears, just to make him feel that he wasn't alone.

 

Actually, Finn could eat at home. As long as he had money, there were many people in Milltown who were willing to deliver food to his door. But in this strange world, there were no computers, no TVs, and not even a radio. This made Finn feel really bored. So he always chose to eat at Moran's Tavern. It was just for the atmosphere. Of course, besides enjoying the atmosphere, sometimes he could also hear some useful information from the adventurers' stories in the tavern.
