Chapter 143 - 142: Alliances

"Leave him to me, on Fisherman's Island, there's the worst prison for people like him, I'll make him wish death was better than he's alive." Elsa's eyes were cold. She just didn't show up and kill Zintek before, because Nero wanted information from him.

"Good," Nero said. "Looks like there's no more danger around, do it while I get on with my shopping."

"But..."

"Don't worry, I have something to detect enemies, and at the moment the town doesn't indicate any enemies," Nero said.

"...Okay, I'm leaving, I'll be back as soon as I'm done." Elsa hugged Nero before grabbing the man by the neck and flying off with a pair of wind wings.

Ignoring the whispers of the people who arrived at the sound of fighting, Nero left the street with ease until he reached the center of town.

After buying some clothes for the boys, she gave the delivery address and left.

The purchase was smooth, no enemies appeared on the map. She happily continued to buy other things like accessories, even went to the Hunter guild, and bought some Level 20+ accessories to give to the group.

She currently had a small fortune, maybe with that amount she could buy a small mansion and live the rest of her life without worrying, but that wasn't what she wanted.

'I think I also need to buy three matching rings...' Her face reddened a little at the thought. It will be her first time dating wearing a wedding ring, it made her feel a little nervous.

After going into a watch store, she started looking at dating rings.

"Welcome, esteemed customer, do you have any preferences?" The seller asked with a warm smile.

'My God, she's beautiful.' The man gulped but didn't let on, he has to be professional.

"I want three alliances of this format." Nero pointed to the pair of wedding rings in the window: "By the way, I want you to make a socket to put two stones of the same size, right in the middle of the five diamond stones, I want you to replace it with a piece of this stone, can you do that?"

Nero took a core from the Iron Beetle Boss. The bright green color was eye-catching, especially the quality of the mana it emitted.

The ring had three stripes, those on the edge were silver, then another gold and in the middle another gold, and the gold part in the middle is a little thicker and had five diamonds, Nero wanted to replace a diamond with a piece of the core after he believed he could give an interesting effect, so look better.

"Yes, we can, it will take about 10 minutes, okay?" The seller's eyes gleamed a little. The core of a lv 32 Boss wasn't easy to get and the price of the alliance pair wasn't cheap, and the customer wanted three.

"I agree." Nero smiled a little. Then she passed a paper with the measurements of her fingers, Choko and Yui.

The seller blushed a little and left with the pair of wedding rings and asked the artisan to create another wedding ring with the same design, but not to put the stone in the middle, but to put a piece of the monster core he brought with him.

As it was said, 10 minutes later it was ready. The rest of the monster core was delivered as well.

"There are 1 million [Coin Essence], do you agree with this amount?" The seller said: "As he gave the core to give the final touch, the artisan was very pleased and gave a discount, so the third ring was free."

"Mm-hm, I agree with that, thank him for me." Nero smiled.

Coming out of the store with the trio of rings, Nero smiled. She intended to infuse some of her mana, and somehow make these alliances better than normal. If possible, she wanted to study a little bit about making magic items, if she could make these rings become magic rings would be ideal, she could even use stone later to improve the rings.

As soon as she was done, she walked out of the watch store.

Nero turned off her charm when he noticed that the people around her started to appear zombies heading towards her.

Leaving, she ran towards the mansion, she had already bought what she wanted anyway.

"…" Nero stopped. She thought: 'It would be nice to buy some gifts for the mansion employees, they took care of us very well during our stay...'

With that thought in mind, Nero in the red dress began to reflect on what would be best to give them as a gift. Although she spent some time with them, she didn't know what exactly would be good for them...

"Well, I have a lot of armor and accessories that I'm not going to wear. I can give it away." Nero nodded thinking she was smart to think about it. With that, she didn't have to be racking her brain about what kind of gift she would give them.

Returning to the mansion, Elsa still hasn't returned.

Going to the back of the mansion, she saw the formation formed, while inside formation Choko and the rest were meditating diligently.

'Mm, it's good that they're trying hard, but they should take a break to eat...'

With that thought in mind, she walked into the kitchen.

"Hello, can you prepare some lunchboxes?" Nero asked the cook.

"Of course, Lady Nero." The kitchen smiled. He was very fond of this girl who had an interesting personality.

"Thanks." Nero smiled a little.

"Do you have any preferences?" he asked.

"Mm-hm." Nero was thoughtful: "As long as it's not overly onion, anything is fine."

"Okay, in a few minutes it will be ready." The cook said.

"Mm, can I stay and see you do it?" Nero asked.

"Oh, are you interested in learning to cook?" the cook asked with a smile.

"A little." Nero nodded.

"It's ok to be, even though I'm not the best cook in the kingdom, I'm confident I'm in the top 10." He chuckled, then got busy cooking.

Nero nodded sideways. She liked the food made by the boss. That's why I wanted to learn a little from him.

In her hand, there was a notebook and a pen jotting down the entire process.

She wanted at least to be able to replicate 30% of what her boss did.
