Jaune Arc - Dreamscape

Chapter 26

Jaune and the others were talking about what to do next. It was time for the next phase after everything was settled and the shock had subsided. Money! They needed much of it since living in a ruined church was uncomfortable. And they needed money for food! They have veggies and fruit but no meat. That was not acceptable. A balanced diet of meat, veggies, and fruit is essential.

Yang asked, "So, Jaune. Are you planning to head to the Tower of Babel, which I assume is the giant tower that looks like it came from your Dreamscape?"

Jaune nodded and said, "Yup! We need money to repair the place and to buy meat. And I'm guessing you girls would not be comfortable going number 1 and 2 in the ground?"

They all shook their head. Seeing as Jaune was planning to repair the place, he has a way to do so quickly when he gets the material. But Ruby had to ask, "How are you planning to get this place up and running with water, electricity, and everything quickly?"

Jaune smirked and said, "In the Dreamscape, I received it quite a while back, but I had no use for it. I received an item called Building Formula. Essentially, it is a blueprint, which would automatically build itself in a few minutes if you gather the materials needed."

Weiss asked, "Which is why we need the money immediately."

Jaune said, "That's right. But if worse comes to worst, I can open the door back to Remnant."

Pyrrha asked, "How are you planning to get money quickly?"

Jaune replied, "I spoke to Eina earlier, and she recommended me a place to sell the weapons I'm not using. She told me to head to the Tower of Babel and enter the shop of Hephaestus Familia, and they would give us a fair price."

Hestia said to Jaune, "If you want to sell your weapon, I might be able to get an audience with Hephaestus. She is a good friend of mine. But the weapon or armor you plan to sell must be something she would be interested in. Otherwise, she would no longer entertain you next time, which would not be good for me. But, since you guys are my first Familia, I'm willing to vouch for you!"

Hestia held her chest high. She was being helpful to her new Familia.

Jaune took Arondight and Ascalon from his item box and showed it to Hestia. He said, "How about these swords? Do you think she would be interested in them?"

Hestia made a shocked face while holding her cheeks and swaying back and forth. She said, "That's a magic sword! Are you sure you want to sell them? They are worth a lot but are very useful in the dungeon."

The Arondight and Ascalon Jaune took out were a version from Draconic Deus. He didn't know where that was from, but it was inferior to his other weapons.

Jaune nodded and said, "I'm sure. Although they are magic weapons, they don't hold a candle to the other weapons I have, especially against my five main weapons."

Jaune took out Balmung, Caladbolg, Gungnir, Arondight, Murasame, Lostvayne, and Laevatein to demonstrate.

Hestia couldn't believe what she was looking at. There was a collection of very powerful magic weapons before her. And two of them are considered only for making money.

Hestia said, "Selling the two swords you took out should get you around 200 to 300 million Valis. Assuming they are not the crappy magic swords that would be destroyed after one use."

Jaune was weirded out. He said, "I'm sorry, but did you say there are magic swords that are only a one-time use item?"

Hestia nodded, and Jaune added, "That's crap! Are you telling me that when I need its power, I can only use it once and no more? What happens if monsters surround me and I use the sword's ability? Are you telling me I must fight without a weapon, then?"
