Chapter 1081: Ill Still Do It Without Charging! (1/2)
”Yes, I'm honored as a blacksmith to be given the opportunity to upgrade Alchemist Davis's weapon into an armament!” Sophie Alstreim genuinely smiled, her lips displaying an undeniable satisfaction that stemmed from her soul.
Davis nodded his head in satisfaction. He was rather half-hearted in the past but not anymore. Since he allowed her to take the scythe, that meant he was prepared to face the consequences.
”That's right! If you fail, you fail, and the matter ends. Don't show this scythe to anyone else, not even to your elders, you understand?”
Sophie Alstreim hurriedly nodded her head again. However, she became confused for a moment.
'Wait a minute... How and where did Alchemist Davis obtain this scythe...?'
Looking at him from this close, she suddenly felt as if he were an Alstreim in her mind, but she quickly denied it as it arrived.
Just because Alchemist Davis has that familiar blonde hair doesn't mean that he was someone from the Alstreim Family!
As for the Grieving Emerald Scythe...
'Mhm, the scythe should've probably circulated away from the Alstreim Family before ending up in some other Territory...'
Sophie Alstreim brushed off her doubts about the scythe, 'Oh well... who cares?'
”How much would it cost?” Davis asked.
It was not much to him who possessed a few hundred thousands of High-Level Spirit Stones to spare.
”Uh... No, I'll do it without charging Alchemist Davis!” Sophie Alstreim looked adamant.
”That's not appropriate...”
”It is! I'm rather honored to be able to forge Alchemist Davis's weapon, so please give me this chance to prove myself! I truly want to become a genuine Low-Level King Grade Alchemist with my current cultivation base, and if I could upgrade Alchemist Davis's weapon into an armament, perhaps my name might resound along with yours!”
”Is that so...?” Davis felt that she really was blunt as she said to be. He was about to give in to her words but speaking of appropriateness, he suddenly frowned.
Not at Sophie Alstreim but at himself. He had already used her feelings once to make her gift him, actually twice. Those gifts went to Evelynn, but nevertheless, it was obvious to him that she had feelings for him.
He didn't feel that it was right to use her feelings for the third time. That is why he tried to hire her using High-Level Spirit Stones, but she mentioned otherwise. In the end, she would feel betrayed more than she could digest her expectations.
”Sophie Alstreim...” He called out.
”Yes...?” Sophie Alstreim suddenly became fidgety as she looked at his face.
Why did his expression suddenly become indifferent?
”I hope this won't have any influence on your forging capacity, but I won't fool around with you anymore...”
Davis shook his head, ”I do indeed admire your skills, but never think for a second that just because I admire you that I might take you as my woman.”
”Not only you, but I have no intentions to accept any women. I already have a few women in my heart, and getting inside would be difficult and filled with obstructions. Perhaps, it would even be detrimental to your future, so I suggest that you stop having deluded expectations for me.”
”Are we clear?”
”...”
An abrupt silence filled the room for a second.
”Thanks for being blunt...” Sophie Alstreim wryly smiled, ”I like people who don't twist their words...”
”Well, about the cost-”
”I'll still do it without charging!”
