My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 35 Bargaining

The rabbit doll, carrying Una's will, asked Otto the question that had been nagging at her.

"I felt a powerful magical aura."

However, this thing is incomplete, and it seems to have been tainted by some kind of evil aura.

Is it material for monsters?

As expected of a witch?

Una glanced at it and immediately revealed the truth about the lump.

But Micah stepped forward, separating Una and Otto, and simply pointed to the mansion, saying with a cheerful smile.

"We have something important to ask you. Let's go inside and talk."

Micah's first step was a success; the mutated product of the Black Water Vine did indeed attract Una's attention.

Micah was not surprised at all.

The monks explored the truth, and whether it was knowledge, experiments, or rare materials, they cherished them all.

All they have to do is bring it here.

Once I've caught Una's attention, I think I'll have leverage in future transactions.

Sure enough, after entering the mansion, the dwarf plopped down on Una's high-end sofa and immediately began to state his demands.

"I hope you can make a pocket for this kid."

A capacity of at least ten standard cubic meters is required.

Runes that conceal one's presence should be installed inside.

As usual, I'll provide the lock cylinder runes; you just need to process them.

Upon hearing this, the rabbit doll immediately raised its eyebrows, stretched out its right hand, and gently tapped the table. A piece of parchment automatically unfolded, and ink gradually appeared.

The rabbit doll glanced at the calculated costs, then looked up at the dwarf again.

"Six Golden Thorns."

"Why don't you just rob it yourself!"

After receiving the offer, Micah slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and his mustache stood on end.

"When we partnered up to make the spatial pocket before, didn't we always use five Golden Thorns?"

But Micah's rebuttal did not receive the response it deserved.

The rabbit doll glanced at the clump of vines beside Otto before leisurely speaking.

"The price of potions used to create invisibility runes has recently gone up, so naturally, the price of spatial pockets will also increase."

However...

The rabbit doll looked into Otto's eyes again and smiled kindly.

"If you're willing to give me the materials from this monster as part of your payment, I'm willing to give you a discount."

At this moment, Una revealed her true intentions; what she wanted was precisely this mass of carnivorous vines.

Seeing this, Micah thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

This woman wants to acquire this material, but doesn't want to spend the money.

Thinking of this, Micah simply sat back down on the sofa, a helpless expression on his face.

"To be honest, this is material left behind by a monster I've never encountered before."

We went through a lot of hardship for it.

After replenishing equipment and resources, I only have three Golden Thorns left.

Micah cleverly described Otto's reward this time as a balance after a difficult adventure.

He pointed to the lump and told Una his offer.

"This item fetched a high price in the guild."

I rejected them because I thought it might be helpful for your research, and instead persuaded the new members of the team to come to you.

How about this? Three Golden Thorns, plus this material, enough to exchange for a spatial pocket.

Upon hearing this, the rabbit doll truly fell into deep thought.

Otto, who was standing nearby, immediately understood that the reason Micah had come to negotiate with Una during the break was to take advantage of the time difference and catch her off guard.

After all, the guild is still processing the specific information regarding the Carnivorous Vine.

If they're lucky, Micah can use this time difference to negotiate a good discount for Otto.

Unfortunately, the rabbit doll, carrying Una's will, raised its head again and rejected Micah once more.

"This material is indeed rare, but it is incomplete. I only need it for research purposes."

It's simply not worth two Gold Thorns!

The rabbit doll sighed helplessly as it finished speaking.

"I don't want to get entangled with this anymore."

Four Golden Thorns, plus this material.

Of course, this is on the premise that you hunt the monsters necessary for making the pocket pocket, namely the kangaroo bats.

The native pouches and wing membranes of the sac-like bat are the main materials.

Before you bring the materials, I will do some preliminary processing.

This is my bottom line.

Clearly, Micah's scheming and entanglement ultimately paid off, saving Otto an entire King Thorn.

Seeing that Una had agreed, Micah immediately signed a contract with her, fearing that she might go back on her word.

After receiving the production contract, Micah finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Afterwards, an adventurer's camp will be established in the Blackthorn Forest. We will try our best to bring you the Golden Thorn and main material we owe you as soon as possible."

Although Micah didn't think Otto would earn enough gold Thorn in this time, it didn't matter; he could always lend the kid some later.

Una, who had obtained the carnivorous vine mass, didn't seem to care much about it.

More than trivial matters like creating a spatial pocket, she had other things to remind Micah of.

"The clues about that ancient artifact are time-sensitive, so you'd better make preparations as soon as possible."

I will also try my best to purify my physical body so I can set off with you.

After saying this, the rabbit doll immediately planned to kick the two of them out of the mansion.

Una hated the smell of alcohol on Micah.

Every time a dwarf enters Una's mansion, she has to open all the doors and windows to let the smell dissipate.

Therefore, upon completion of the transaction, the rabbit plush toy immediately asked the customer to leave.

Seeing this, Micah and Otto had no choice but to leave the mansion.

On their way home, the two immediately began planning their next steps.

According to Phyllis, the Adventurers' Guild will issue a limited-time raiding commission for Carnivorous Vine after the camp is established.

At the latest, we should see the commission by the end of this week.

With four days left until the weekend, I'll go back to the workshop and get ready.

As for you, you'd better learn the advanced knowledge of the Azure Moon combat techniques from Havel.

Micah didn't want to miss this large-scale hunting mission. To obtain that ancient relic, he needed King Thorn's help and had to accumulate as many coins as possible.

As for Otto, Micah could tell that the kid in front of him was very comfortable with the Azure Moon combat technique.

In these adventures, the basic techniques of the Azure Moon combat style were no challenge for him at all.

Micah intends to have Javier expedite the swordsmanship instruction process.

Given Otto's comprehension ability, it might not take long at all.

Then there are the saccharibats. They mostly live in stone caves in the corners of the Blackthorn Forest. Although hunting them is a bit troublesome, there are still ways to catch them.

As a seasoned adventurer, Micah naturally has experience hunting tamarisk bats. They can handle the carnivorous vine commission while searching for tamarisk bats for Otto.

But just as Micah was about to say something more, Otto reached out and stopped him.

In front of the workshop stood a stranger covered in blood!
