Maetel instinctively pushed Artpe behind her, and she was about to raise her swordArtpe smirked as he placed his hand on her shoulder
“She isn’t an ene to their contract, they aren’t allowed to attack us first”

“Oh myDo you know about the Anywhere company?”
She surmised they were out of the ordinary, since the two kids were able to reach the depths of this DungeonHowever, she never expected hie about her store!
Mycenae, as the middleman from the Anywhere company, looked at Artpe with round eyesArtpe snorted as he waved his hand
“How dare you?”
Several dozen Mana threads were emitted from both sides, and they crossed pathsThere weren’t any ill-intention behind her use of Mana, but it was indiscriminately broken up as it dissipatedHe was able to declare this his words with iic was useless under his Read All Creation ability!
“Oh my!”
“Don’t you try to get cute with me, merchant”
“Yes…”
Mycenae realized that her inquiry ic had been denied before it could even activateShe backed away in frightShe backed into the cart, and her bosoled as if it was about to spill out
Every th to raise a spoon, would have been instinctively drawn to her charround
“HoongYou are an ajumma”

Artpe turned his gaze away from her
His gaze reached the two Skeletons, who had been enhanced to the extremeOnly pile of bone dusts was left behind as remains
“All rightLet’s do our looting first”
“Yes!”
“Huh, customer?”
“We’ll trade with youJust wait there”
Even if she set aside the brusque little e crack form in her pride
Who the hell were they!Unlike their appearances, ere they giving off a vibe of 20 year veteran Dungeon explorers!
“There really is only powders left behindStill, it isn’t as if there are no other way to…”
“I tried to loot, but it didn’t workWhat should I do in such a situation, Artpe?”
“All rightI’ll teach it to you, so you should pay close attention”
Even as Mycenae’s body shook, Artpe approached the two pile of bone dusts, and he extended his Mana Threads in abundanceMaetel stood by his side, and her head was tilted in confusionHe gave a friendly explanation
“Of course, it does seem impossible to loot a monster that had been completely pulverized, but this isn’t the case if you have the ability to control ManaWatch me”
Mana Threads extended out of his hand, and they reached the two piles of bone dusts made out of two SkeletonsThe piles reacted to the Mana Threads, and it started to clule pileArtpe moved his hand in various directions, and the process accelerated
“Next, you have to do this…”
“Wow”
When he severed the Mana Threads, the debris also stoppedIt looked like a pile of ashIt was as if a vampire had been burned to death there
“We just have to wait for the chosen items to come outThis is an easyremains of a monsterYou should keep that in mind”
“As expected, Artpe is a!”
“These customers are…”
This Dungeon had been appealing enough to call her forthThe fact that these young adventurers were able to last inside this place was surprising, but it wasto see one of them use such advanced technique to loot the monsters
While Mycenae was gawking at the to a endIt looked to be successful
“Ah, ArtpeSo”
“It is an arauntlets, this one is mine”
“WowA pretty crystal also came out!”
“There were too athered hereSince it couldn’t be collected naturally, it clu ical toolsMmmmThis isn’t an item that you can use……”
“Artpe can have it allI have the sword and the armor”
MelArtpe let out a bitter laugh as he put the crystal awayThen he put on the arm warmers
It was unknown as to why arm warmers made out of black leather was dropped by a Skeleton, but when he equipped it, it had a supple his hand speedIt wasn’t intentional, but this was the ideal equipment for Artpe, who had to use both his hands for battle
“I can see so there, Artpe”
“AhI alot about it”
Since all the drops of Skeletons on this floor was gathered in one place, there would also be soold coinsArtpe smirked as he picked them up
“I anticipated a gold coin would come out, but I didn’t expect twoNice”

“Welco for a specific item?”
“One empty bottle”
“Y…you want an empty bottle?”
“Yes”
Mycenae and Artpe made eye contactShe tried her best to discern Artpe’s inner thoughts, but he kept a sickeningly innocent expression on his face
She kneas up to soHowever, a member of the Anywhere company couldn’t turn down a trade unless there was a special circuest taboo to turn down a trade!Mycenae felt uneasy as she took out an empty bottle from her cart
“The price is 50 bronze coins”
“It is only a single empty bottle!Why is it so expensive!?”
“All Dungeon merchants are like this”
Artpe ignored Maetel, as shockedHe took the empty bottleMycenae watched Artpe unstopper the bottleShe spoke with a worried tone in her voice
“It see to fill up the bottle with the water from the fountainShouldn’t you check if the water is safe to drink first?It is a fundamental rule followed by all adventurers”
“I knowI already checked it”
“You already checked it!?”
