Chapter 180 The Demon of Empty Talk is Gone, the Demon of Pickled Vegetables Rises~
Barnier, an avatar of the Duke of Hell, fought with all his might. Although he posed no threat to Broly, the place where the battle had taken place had been plowed up again and again. The Lich, who did not want to be affected by the aftermath of the battle, could only stand in a relatively far place to watch the show.
But suddenly, Broly, who had been playfully fighting, suddenly went berserk. His aura rose rapidly, and he unleashed this terrifying power in an instant, creating a towering green pillar of light.
When he came to his senses, the flat area where the boy had been standing had turned into a small basin.
"What happened? Why did you suddenly unleash such a powerful attack?"
Wiz was startled, and after he came to his senses, he stood at the edge of the basin and asked the question.
Broly flew over and told Wiz what Barnier had just said, and that he was watching her with concern.
Wiz was completely dumbfounded. When did she, a top-tier Undead King, become someone who could be killed with a single thought?
Liches are highly resistant to instant-death skills, and in Barnier's case, there are practically no instant-death skills at all.
"Broly, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. Mr. Barnier is just like always, enjoying teasing innocent kids like you. He's just talking nonsense."
In fact, He couldn't possibly kill me with a single thought; even if He did have that ability, He probably wouldn't use it.
Wiz was very accurate in judging demons. Barnier's true form was in hell, reliving the extreme anger he had just felt, and the destruction that the power of that anger had brought upon him.
This is exactly what He wanted: to absorb the ultimate emotional energy while being destroyed in the process.
The destruction happened a little too quickly, so that this great demon with a tendency toward self-destruction didn't even have a chance to properly experience the process of its own destruction.
"So, that masked demon was just bragging?"
Broly was shocked and didn't know what to say. Barnier was definitely the strangest guy he had ever met, even stranger than Darkness.
"Yes, Mr. Barnier is indeed a rather unscrupulous fellow when it comes to obtaining negative emotions."
Wiz nodded. What Broly had just experienced was something she had gone through when she was still human and encountered Barnir.
Every time, they thought the other party would kill them and the other members of the adventurer's party, but every time the other party was just bluffing and playing with them.
"Broly, you don't need to feel guilty. Guys who like to play games with people should be taught a lesson!"
Seeing that the boy was silent, Wiz assumed he felt guilty and quickly comforted him.
"Burden? I have no burden. I'm just wondering if our bet still stands?"
It's just killing a demon. Even if I accidentally kill it, let alone when I'm provoked, it's not a big deal.
The life or death of a stranger was not important to Broly, just as no one would cry if an ant on the roadside died unexpectedly.
If you want to make Broly feel bad, you need to at least build a relationship with him first and get him to invest his emotions.
Clearly, Barnier, who kept calling himself a little devil, failed to do so.
"The bet? Of course it counts. Demons are very loyal to their contracts. They'll honor any contract they've signed, even if it means they're dead..."
Wiz's description of demons keeping their contracts brought a strange message to Broly's mind: "The winds of the underworld are blowing in the dark, and the winds of the netherworld are pure and simple."
"Messenger" refers to the angel who betrayed Aqua's master without hesitation. Broly still has some recollection of him because Aqua sometimes mutters to herself.
Although he personally thought that angel sister was quite nice, as she was able to bring Master Aqua with him into this world.
Wiz and Broly went back together, and Aqua complained a little about her disciple's late return.
But after hearing that her disciple had killed a demon of Hell Duke level, her complaints turned into praise.
"Broly, you've finally grown up. You're even out there taking down those nasty demons on your own now."
Aqua looked touched and then handed her a clay pot.
"Alright, let's help pack the pickled vegetables. Once they're packed, Wiz, you can take some to your shop to sell."
"Hey, but my shop is a magic item shop, not a pickle shop!"
"Miss Lich said quickly."
"These pickled vegetables are made from cabbages that have their own magic, and they are washed with purifying water that I summoned. They are genuine magical items."
"If any undead creature eats one of these, I guarantee it'll ascend to heaven instantly. Don't you believe me? Want to try some?"
Aqua used chopsticks to pickle the vegetables she was stepping on, but instead of putting them in the lich lady's mouth, she was trying to let her taste the magical pickles.
The lich lady, however, blocked Aqua's enthusiasm with both hands and quickly admitted defeat, saying, "I understand, I understand, Lady Aqua. I will take your pickles back to the shop to sell."
"Wouldn't it be better if you knew what was good for you? So, how much money are you prepared to offer to buy my pickled vegetables?"
"Hey, do I need to pay for this?"
"What, you lich, do you expect me to work for you for free?"
Aqua picked up the pickled vegetables she had put back and threatened to ask.
"No, no, how about ten thousand Eris?"
Pickled Magic Cabbage, after harvest day, which family in Axel doesn't have it?
Other brands of pickled vegetables don't have the ability to purify the dead.
But what use is this ability in pickled cabbage?
Wiz felt this was a deal destined to lose money and didn't dare offer a high acquisition price.
"What?! Such good cabbage, and in such a big can, and you're only offering 10,000 Eris to buy it?"
A clay pot with a capacity of no more than five liters is just average; how can it be considered large?
Wiz wanted to ask that, but under the threat of Aqua feeding her purifying pickled cabbage, she doubled the purchase price before the business tyrant goddess let her go.
"Sigh, at 20,000 erys a jar, I bought fifty jars of pickles!"
Wiz sighed, feeling that his million Eris was destined to go down the drain.
"Wiz, how much do you want for Master Aqua's pickles?"
After Broly helped put some of the pickles on the shelf, he asked Miss Lich.
"Even if we sell it at the original price, I doubt anyone will buy it. We can only hope to sell it at a loss."
Wiz sighed.
"If my master sees this, she'll probably think you look down on her pickled vegetables."
Broly offered a reminder.
"Well……"
Miss Lich remembered and realized that this was really Aqua's style, so she quickly raised the price of pickled vegetables to twice the purchase price.
This means that this batch of pickled vegetables is destined to be an unsellable, slow-moving product.
Fortunately, Broly has resolved her contract with Barnier, and now the profits from the magic item shop, including her share, are all hers, so she can afford to lose money.
"Thank you so much, Broly. I really don't know how I would survive without you!"
Wiz was referring to the survival of this magical item shop.
"Wiz, aren't you already dead?"
But it was hard to explain. Broly also thought she was genuinely thanking him, so he gave her a very sharp critique.
Miss Lich: "..."
After writing the product name "Goddess Kimchi" next to the price, Aqua's kimchi was officially put on the shelves for sale in this magical item shop.
The two returned to the villa, where the four of them took a bath together, a rare occasion. Aqua was about to drink alcohol while taking a bath, but the other three stopped her.
That evening, Broly infused Wiz with enough life energy to make her look exactly like a living person, and everyone gathered together to eat hot pot.
"Wow, the food after a hard day's work tastes so good!"
Aqua, her face flushed from drinking, said this.
"Hey, Aqua, you only started working hard these past few days, right? You're usually so lazy."
Darkness directly revealed the truth.
"You muscle-bound masochist, what nonsense are you spouting? I try my best to live a good life every day."
Aqua immediately retorted.
"It's really nice to be able to eat a meal in a way that's closer to human form every now and then."
Wiz ate the hot pot meat with a satisfied look on his face.
"Ah, um, ah, um, ah..."
Broly didn't say anything. While Master Aqua and Darkness were arguing, he silently ate his meal in front of the sixth brother.
Hot pot has become a regular dish for them since autumn began, as they have enough money to live on.
Wiz terminated her employment contract with Barnier, but a pickle-eating devil without a contract, who could enslave her labor at will, was waiting for her...
