The place I ended up going to was here.
Creak, Thud!
Lewina was sitting in the exact same posture as when I saw her last time.
She was always in this spot. Like a stone statue.
"Ohh?"
Lewinaās lips slowly curled upwards.
"Isnāt it that little brat from last time?"
"Call me by my name. Iām a formal Hero now, you know?"
Lewina was quite surprised by my words. She raised her branch-like finger and pointed at me.
"Ohh, but you know, donāt you? Whether youāre a formal Hero or a mere knight. For an information broker like me, money is king."
"I came to ask about this this time. I was thinking of going to a merchant guild, but it doesnāt seem like an ordinary item."
I took out the Abyssal Orb. From its description, it didnāt seem like an ordinary item.
It felt as if holding it for too long would make me lose my mind, perhaps?
"Gasp!"
Suddenly, Lewina recoiled in horror. As if I had pulled out my dick or something.
Her eyes were trembling violently. Her gaze was fixed on the Abyssal Orb.
Skittering!
Lewina crawled towards me at an incredible speed. She looked more like a beast than a human.
āUgh, shit! What the hell? That scared the crap out of me.ā
I unconsciously stepped back. Thatās how alien the atmosphere Lewina exuded was.
She urgently raised her hands.
"Uh, ugh, that, that! Where did you get it? How did you obtain it?"
"What? What is this?"
Sniff, sniff, ahhh.
Lewina put her nose to the Abyssal Orb and seriously sniffed it. She seemed satisfied, her lips stretching into a wide smile.
"I feel it, the scent of a great being! Ahh, haaang. How I miss it, I was once obsessed with this!"
"...What is this?"
"Itās a fragment of a great being. When these are gathered together, a statue to worship the great being appears!"
"Thatās it?"
Lewina drooled at my question. Was it just a special item that produced a mere statue?
Was it really something that couldnāt be used for enhancement or applied to magic engineering, just for that?
It felt a bit anticlimactic. What the hell is this?
"Hehe, what else would there be? Itās precious, so precious. Sell it to me. Letās exchange it for S-rank information!"
"Huh? For S-rank information?"
Lewina nodded like crazy. Honestly, I couldnāt understand it.
āWhat the hell, sheās selling S-rank information for a piece of rock like this? I knew she was crazy, but this much?ā
I was so dumbfounded I couldnāt speak. S-rank information for something like this?
"What exactly is S-rank information?"
"Anything you want!"
Lewina gesticulated with both hands as if she held all the information in the world. Her gaze, meanwhile, was firmly fixed on the Abyssal Orb.
"You know that cult called āThose Who Recite Sinsā? Do you have information on their leader?"
Lewina nodded like mad. She was like an obedient stray dog, I guess. Though I didnāt want to pet her.
"Itās relatively recent information, but yes, I have it. Iāve gathered important clues about their bishop."
"Then Iāll sell it. Here."
"Ohh, in that case...!"
Lewina handed over the information documents and received the Abyssal Orb.
She caressed the Abyssal Orb as if she had been waiting for it. Like she was fondling it.
"Haa ..
Sniff-gasp
ā„ This is it, this is what I wanted. Ahh, how thirsty I was!"
Lewina began to lick the Abyssal Orb as if licking a pair of balls.
She was truly insane. There probably wasnāt anyone in this town as crazy as her.
Lewina stuck out her deep pink tongue and gently licked the Abyssal Orb.
As she greedily licked and licked, thick saliva coated it, beginning to string like a spiderweb.
āSheās going to do something with that eventually.ā
I shook my head and left. There were quite a few important clues.
As I looked through the information, there was indeed a lot of helpful stuff. And one suspicion.
āWait, this suspicion...?ā
It felt like déjà vu. I tilted my head, then chuckled.
āThis will be important. But thatās not whatās important right now. Iām tired, should I relieve some fatigue?ā
I massaged my shoulders and headed to a nearby pawn shop. There was something I wanted to buy.
āTo buy luxury goods, a pawn shop is the place. There are no jewelers in a remote territory like this.ā
Territories close to the capital, and even villages, had jewelers.
However, our territory still didnāt. Maybe Weaverpool would have one.
I arrived at the pawn shop and checked the items. Including the items in the glass case, there seemed to be a lot of goods displayed behind the owner.
Among them, I bought a luxury bag for 40 gold.
"An excellent choice, my lady. Is it a gift for someone special?"
"Iām an adult, and Iām Hero Lucian Vane."
"Gasp, cough...! You, it was you? Thank you for your purchase!"
I headed somewhere with the luxury bag. The Goddess asked, curious.
āIām going to get a massage, heheh.ā
Itās been a while, I should meet Dinora. I wonder if sheās heard about me.
Iām a full-fledged Hero now. I wanted to do a lot of things with Dinora. MILFs really never get old, no matter how much you have them.
āI wonder if sheāll like the luxury bag.ā
Sometimes there are women who prefer simple things like flowers or letters over luxury goods.
I went to Dinoraās house. There didnāt seem to be anyone around.
Just in case, I went inside, but there could be other customers.
āOr she could already be with another guy.ā
What should I do if sheās doing a service?
No, why should I hesitate? Screw it, Iāll just watch.
Knock knock, creak.
"Oh, Lucian, isnāt it? Iāve heard a lot about you lately!"
"Iāve been feeling a bit tired lately. I came for a massage!"
"Hehe, good timing."
"Oh, I bought this on the way. Take it."
