Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon with Gate of Babylon?

[70] Consider It Loaned to You! Alright!

A little over an hour later, the flames of the furnace extinguished, and the smelting process came to an end.

Tsubaki eagerly approached the furnace and, with an incredulous expression, took out three iron ingots.

The three iron ingots were identical in size and weight, as if they were uniformly crafted, something impossible for human hands to achieve.

At this point, Tsubaki had no choice but to believe that this furnace could indeed automatically smelt ore.

Not only that, but the smelting time was not long, and there were no impurities.

This was truly an artifact, an immeasurable treasure for all blacksmiths.

"It really smelted."

Tsubaki glanced at August beside her and then at the furnace in front of her.

"Do you believe it now?"

"Where did you get this furnace?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I'll leave the item to you."

"You better take it back."

"Hmm?"

Now it was August's turn to be puzzled. This thing was extremely tempting to Tsubaki, yet she unexpectedly refused it.

"The value of this item is too extraordinary. If something goes wrong in my hands, I can't afford the consequences."

She was rational. Although she had slept with August, their relationship hadn't reached a level where she would accept such a valuable gift.

"Consider it loaned to you then, and you need to pay the fee. Is that okay?"

"This furnace is enough to make you the richest person in Orario. Why would you lend it to me?"

"Because you're my woman!"

"I'm not your woman, little man. You haven't conquered me. At most, we're just a man and a woman."

"Soon enough, my woman. This lifetime can only belong to me."

"You're quite overbearing, but I don't mind."

Tsubaki laughed suddenly. She began to look forward to how long it would take for August to conquer her.

She never doubted that she was close to her limit now, at most waiting a few more years to upgrade to level 6.

But August was different. His potential was incredibly monstrous, and he would undoubtedly surpass her in the future. Currently, the most powerful adventurer in Orario was Ottar from Freya Familia, a level 7 known as the ultimate weapon.

However, in the era when the Zeus and Hera Familias dominated years ago, the limits for adventurers were not level 7. Level 8 and 9 adventurers were nearly equivalent to the status of level 5 and 6 now.

August had the potential to reach those levels, and it was just a matter of time.

"Alright, leave the item with you. However, I don't care how you use it. But I need you to help me forge weapons. There's no limit to the types, the more, the better. The only condition is that they must have the indestructible attribute."

"I see. You want to utilize my skills to mass-produce weapons."

"That's right."

"My fee is quite high."

"I've already given you artifacts. Isn't that enough?"

August said with a smile, leaving Tsubaki momentarily speechless.
