Chapter 165 - Volume 2
TL: I’ll be posting another TAS chapter tomorrow.
Ramblings: I ruined a perfectly fine pork belly by accident. It was the saltiest and driest pork I have cooked in a while, darn it. It tasted so good in the beginning too :/
Chapter 110 – Accidental bounty
Romaine was in a rare state where she was quiet and still, sitting obediently in front of Brendel with a lowered head. If she did not peek from the corners of her eyes at Brendel, she actually appeared to be quite like a noble’s daughter.
Of course that would only be true, if one was to discount her shabby appearance, with her face covered with soot and her tattered clothes.
The real noble’s daughter who sat beside Romaine was roughly in the same state. She clutched her cloak that was full of holes from the explosion with a lowered head that was covered with full of ashes, and appeared anxious.
“Brendel, I……” Romaine saw Brendel’s furious face relaxed a little and rushed to explain herself, but before she was able to finish her sentence, the latter’s glare sent her words back down her throat.
She had no choice but to lower her head gloomily.
“I have a few more left,” Amandina immediately answered: “If my lord needs them, I can make them overnight.”
“Overnight?” Brendel’s eyes became wide. Was it not supposed to take at least half a month?
Brendel thought history might have changed because he took her along with him when he saw her nodding. He wanted to ask for more details, but he saw the Nightsong Tiger beckoning at him with an urgent expression.
[Damn it, isn’t he supposed to be with the lucky babe to gather the loot? I wanted to ask about this hack.]
But the Nightsong Tiger looked like he was about to run up, so he quickly gave his instructions: “If it’s possible, I want everyone to have one or two of them. Also, these crystals are unstable right?”
Amandina felt a little numb at Brendel’s know-it-all words and nodded after a moment of shock.
[Okay! It looks like there’s no sudden change in history.]
“I’ll teach you a method to let it stabilize a little longer. But that method’s effectiveness has its limit, so you need to research on it.”
“What?” She uttered a surprised gasp as she watched Brendel leave who appeared relieved.
[He even knows how to stabilize it……]
Her confidence that was repaired from Brendel’s encouragement was once again shattered with his words. She thought she would have at some advantages in creating Magicite-related artifacts, but he seemed to know even more than her.
However, this was a misunderstanding because Brendel did not take on such a profession in the game and knew nothing about it. He did have some knowledge about a few recipes and materials regarding to the profession though.
While Amandina was swimming in a pool of misery, Romaine finally gave a long sigh of relief as the only person who could control her left.
“Thank you, Amandina.” She looked gratefully at Amandina and said.
[I’ll be grateful enough if you don’t give me anymore trouble.] Amandina glanced at her and shook her head hurriedly. She was terrified of this girl.
But Romaine did not seem like she intended to let the only one whom she could talk to off the hook. She thought for a while and asked: “Oh, that’s right, did you see that earlier?”
“That?”
“You know, there are a few flying lights that came towards us like fireflies when we were escaping. Did you notice them?”
“I……”
“Did you?”
“I think I did……”
============= Brendel POV ==============
When Brendel met up with the Nightsong Tiger, he saw him with a thick book covered in leather. That was without a doubt an item from the Dark Bishop, which were covered with scorched marks left from the explosion of Dark Mana.
[The lucky babe really has the golden touch of Midas. She can even scrounge items from one of the poorest mob. Damn, it would be fun to watch the reaction of the other gamers if I can post them screenshots online.]
“What’s this?” He asked.
The Nightsong Tiger looked at him secretively, and opened the book in front of him.
Brendel’s eyes turned into dots when he saw what was in them.
