Chapter 139 Soft-Hearted

"Thank you, Artilicia, I feel much better now that I can hear these comforting words from your mouth.

"I have an appointment with Elf King Eliandor in the afternoon, so I won't delay you in taking care of the children.

"By the way, I don't have much cash with me, so I'll just use this as the medical expenses and the meeting gift."

After David stayed in the yard with his sister and listened attentively for nearly an hour, the ferocious silver dragon girl named Salena finally agreed to leave.

He only went out with his front legs, and was chased out by the silver dragon father on his back legs. He also tried to return a necklace with five gems of various colors to him:

"Wait a minute! How can I accept such valuable jewelry?"

The sharp-eyed David could tell at a glance. Wasn't this the magic item that the other party wore that morning to resist his dragon's breath?

At the same time, it has five effects: [Swiftness], [Acceleration], and [Elemental Protection Shield - Fire, Acid, Lightning]. Although they are all low-level spells below the third ring, they are surprisingly useful in battle when combined. .

Dad, what a waste of nature!

Even the other party's house has been moved. Why are you so polite now? It's like celebrating the Chinese New Year!

Fortunately, this silver dragon is quite sensible:

"But I can't let you cast the [Regeneration Spell] in vain? I know that the cost of the casting materials alone is thousands of Devonsel gold coins.

"What's wrong with you today, Artilicia? Why are you so generous?

"If it were you normally, you would be eager to strip me of all the valuables."

After saying these words, which made Artilicia blush more and more guiltily, she waved to Tanya, who had also been dazzled by the necklace for a long time.

Tanya, who originally had strong hostility towards this 'stepmother competitor', immediately trotted all the way to 'Aunt Silver Dragon' under the hint of David's encouraging gaze.

Then, as expected, a magic necklace of 'Porphyrin Porphyrin' appeared on his neck. He turned around and smiled silly at his brother.

"It looks great, but the chain is a bit too big. Let your dad change it later. He's the best at this."

"How embarrassing this is." Father Yinlong rubbed his hands and said with a troubled face.

"It's just a piece of jewelry. I still have more here. I'll get one for David Yutos as a meeting gift later. That's it. I already know where you live. You'll come here often to eat. Just treat it as the dragon food money paid in advance. ”

After Artilicia's 'double healing' of body and mind, Salena felt that she had been resurrected with full blood, leaving a sassy figure for David's Silver Dragon family, and she didn't look back after finishing her words. He waved his hand and left.

He looks very much like those losers from Blue Star who are unable to love but are still conceited and affectionate.

"Sure enough, you can't lick a dog."

David was licking his lips and sighing, when the silver dragon father came over to discuss:

"How about we give those things back?"

"What? Are you soft-hearted?" David glanced at this silver dragon daddy who suddenly had a conscience on his face with disdain on his face.

Artilicia nodded her head honestly:

"Well, I just suddenly felt that after more than ten years, I don't know if she has grown up and matured a little, and is not as hateful as she was when she was a child."

The most important thing is that he originally just wanted to vent his anger about his son being 'beaten' for no reason, and 'borrow' money from an old friend.

Now it seems that it has been overdone.

In the Dark Territory, he had experienced the feeling of losing everything. It was so painful that it was beyond words.

‘Sure enough, the heart has also become feminized along with the body? ’ David couldn’t help but speculate silently.

David, who was already aware of the mutual influence between body and soul, secretly reminded himself not to blindly transform like his father, as problems could easily arise, like now.

But what he said next made Atilicia even more confused:

"Anyway, it only adds up to 3,000 pounds. I don't have any objection. But the problem now is that you have already destroyed the spirit of the mage tower. Do you have the ability to repair it and not be destroyed?" Did she find any traces?”

This is the truth.

For David, before his camp started to develop in a substantial sense, the meaning of money to him was not only pure purchasing power, but the primary meaning was more to satisfy and obtain [greed].

Secondly, it is used to prepare [Tiamat's Guardian] that may be used in the future.

Although David still doesn't know what the purpose of this thing is, and whether there are any new changes in the mechanism, he doesn't dare to try it as easily as last time.

If his home is demolished again like when he was experimenting with [Tiamat's Wrath], he will probably not be the only one who wants to go crazy.

But a family of three went crazy at the same time.

The last step is to repay Long Ma’s debt.

And David, who is still young, has enough confidence that when he takes out the money, it will be enough to make Longma smile without making him too entangled in his heart, unlike his father who is so careless.

From this perspective, what he needs more is the process of using the dragon's greedy instinct for treasure to obtain money, rather than the money itself.

Now, he has obtained two [greedy] profits by plundering the mage tower of Silver Dragon Salena, so naturally he doesn't care much about the money, even though its total amount is equivalent to more than half of his current net worth.

When David once awakened to this thinking logic, he also had the idea of ​​​​returning the "obtained" treasures to re-acquire them in order to repeatedly brush bugs.

But he had already deeply explored the power of the seven sins and quickly rejected it.

Because with the passage of time and the use of power, he discovered that the mechanism of this thing is somewhat similar to the ‘original heart theory’ of Blue Star Buddhism:

That is to say, it is neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing, but its essence is indeed birth and death, dirty and pure, increasing and decreasing.

In short, unless he can play with his own memory and even his own mind, there seems to be no way to get rid of this bug by deceiving his own mind.

But one day he really reaches that unspeakable state, so there is no need to lie to himself!

In short, power is a very fucked up thing.

Just when David was having a storm of thoughts, Artilicia, who had been struggling for a long time, finally made up her mind after receiving these words from her son:

"Well, now I'm going to the basement to build another portal. We'll return the things and move the equipment from the underground alchemy room over. As you heard, she's going to meet the Elf King this afternoon and will probably be back in the evening. The mage tower is gone, we only have half a day to do this."

"You really paid it back! No! The tower spirit was so fucked that it was smoking, but in the end nothing was missing. You didn't bring it upon yourself!"

David looked incredulously at his father, who was serious and actually prepared to put it into practice. After a while, he took a deep breath and gave a suggestion:

"In that case, we have to leave some things behind to lead the suspicion elsewhere, and return the rest to her."

"What's left?" Artilicia asked.

"Of course it's the pair of giant stone golems placed in front of the house." David smiled.
