The Hestia Familia did not stay long at the village inn where they had lodged; they checked out the very next morning and continued flying the wyverns toward Orario.
Just like that, ten days passed.
"We're finally back."
Atop the city walls of the Labyrinth City, Daphne stretched her waist.
The continuous journey of over ten days had truly exhausted her.
Cassandra, Liliruca, and the others also showed signs of fatigue on their faces.
"Hestia, you take everyone to the new station," Levi said after returning the wyverns to the Ganesha Familia members who had come to receive them. "I'm going to turn in the Guild mission and, while I'm at it, tally up the Familia's income from last month."
"Go on, go on." The twin-tailed goddess nodded with a smile; she was actually looking forward quite a bit to the new station, which had been completed half a month ago.
Not only would everyone no longer have to squeeze together, but she herself could also every day... hehe~
After parting ways with the group, Levi arrived at the Guild Hall.
Along the way, through the pointing and whispering of other adventurers, he had already learned that his Alias had been decided as 'Hero King'.
Therefore, when the receptionist Eina called out this title, the young man with short pale-gold hair merely nodded his head.
"Long time no see, Miss Eina."
"I'm here to submit the mission. Additionally, please settle the Familia's income for last month."
"Ah, right away."
Eina was actually a little afraid of Levi.
After all, he was a ruthless individual who dared to make a move inside the Guild Hall. Precisely because of this, even though the young man possessed looks that were in no way inferior to the gods, she rarely felt her heart race when interacting with him.
Hearing his words, she immediately stood up and led Levi to a warehouse.
The warehouse was stuffed full of Magic Stones of various sizes, while in the corner, over a dozen money bags were placed.
"Lord Levi." Eina picked up the ledger from the table and handed it to the young man beside her, continuing her introduction as she spoke. "Last month, a total of 721 bottles of Strengthening Wine, 439 bottles of Limit Strengthening Wine, 872 bottles of Enchantment Wine, and 920 bottles of Force Field Wine were sold, earning a total of 4.0435 billion."
"The sales for Ice and Fire Wine were a bit lower. 37 bottles of Level 1 Fire Wine, 16 bottles of Level 2 Fire Wine, 4 bottles of Level 3 Ice and Fire Wine, and 2 bottles of Level 4 Ice and Fire Wine were sold, with a sales volume of 334 million."
"Then there is the Regeneration Wine. The low-tier ones sold the best, with 43 bottles sold in one go. As for the high-tier Regeneration Wine, 2 bottles were sold. The rest, in accordance with your request, were used as bonus gifts for mid-to-large-sized Familias purchasing the quarterly healing package; 10 bottles were distributed to each Familia, bringing in a total of 7.36 billion Valis."
"Adding the three sums together, it comes to 11.7375 billion Valis. According to the agreement between you and the Guild, 1.17375 billion Valis is being handed over to you now, while the remaining 8.21625 billion Valis has been exchanged for Magic Stones and stored in the warehouse."
Because a contract had been signed beforehand, Levi was not worried that Royman, the head of the Guild, would renege on the debt.
That being said, he still listened to Eina's introduction while flipping through the ledger.
In the end, when he heard the half-elf girl say, "I will go wait at the door for a moment," he nodded his head slightly.
Next, he took out the 'Dress of Heaven Class Card' and performed a Limited Deployment, chanting slowly: "White Holy Grail, sing!"
Surging azure Magic Power overflowed from his body, turning into a tide that washed over the surroundings.
Considering the warehouse storing the Magic Stones was not large, Levi did not expand the Grail's domain to its limit, but instead stopped the expansion once it touched the walls.
Then, a scene that had occurred more than once in the Great Tree Sea reappeared in the room where he was alone.
Driven by the liquid formed of Magic Power, the Magic Stones piled up like small mountains collapsed, then surged toward the young man standing in the center.
However, just as they were about to touch him, they were 'Space Displaced' into mid-air, and as they fell, they dropped directly into the entrance of the open Inventory.
Levi, who had already switched his Craft Essence to 'Mona Lisa', opened the exchange shop and converted the Magic Stones into Valis Vouchers by the handful.
Sparkling wine had just started being sold to the public; naturally, after adventurers confirmed its specific effects, it would usher in a wave of hot sales.
But to be honest, such a craze probably would not last too long.
Take Regeneration Wine as an example; there are only so many people with missing limbs accumulated in Orario over the past, and the vast majority of them are low-level adventurers who cannot afford high-tier Regeneration Wine.
The remaining ones, without exception, are all backed by mid-to-large-sized Familias, and almost all would choose to group up and purchase the quarterly healing package—buying the package for 500 million or 800 million gets them 10 bottles of high-tier Regeneration Wine, along with disability recovery insurance for the next three months; only a fool would refuse.
Similarly, Ice and Fire Wine is actually a one-time deal as well.
There are only so many high-level adventurers; they drink a bottle or two before leveling up, and won't continue to buy it afterward.
On the contrary, sparkling wines used to assist in combat, such as Strengthening Wine and Force Field Wine, will not have poor sales due to their moderate prices.
When in the Dungeon, one will always encounter some accidents. At such times, a 'potion' that can strengthen one's own Ability Scores or grant a temporary shield is something every adventurer would choose to keep a couple of bottles of in their backpack.
About ten minutes later.
Levi walked out of the warehouse. At this moment, the Valis cash in his backpack had exceeded 1.5 billion, and the Valis Vouchers had skyrocketed from less than two thousand originally to over 8.2 billion!
Seeing the young man with short pale-gold hair wearing a smile, Eina understood that he was in a good mood right now, so she stepped forward and chatted about the submission of the Mandatory Mission.
"According to Guild regulations, after completing a Mandatory Mission, the Familia needs to turn in the materials dropped by the corresponding monster. In return, the Guild will pay a sum of Valis not lower than the market average."
"Of course, if Lord Levi wishes to keep the Scorpion's drops, that is also permissible. However, we need to verify the materials you submit, and afterward, you must pay one-tenth of the acquisition price in Valis to buy them back."
Levi nodded; he was aware of the Guild's regulations.
He then took out the Scorpion's Stomach from his Inventory and handed it over.
Eina took it naturally. "Within three days, I will come to visit you to report on the mission completion status and inform you of the specific repurchase price for this material."
"That works."
Since he was not short on money, Levi naturally planned to keep such unique-grade drop materials for himself.
"Also..." As if remembering something, Eina opened her mouth again at this moment. "Lord Levi, you previously defeated 'The Fierce', and now you have successfully challenged the Scorpion as a team. Are you about to reach Lv.5? And the members of your Familia..."
Levi did not deny it. "The others indeed have gained something; I will have them come over tomorrow to update their Status. As for me, since I borrowed external power during the battle, the accumulation of Feat is still a bit lacking, but I suppose it will be soon."
