Chapter 189 Two-way journey
Wiz's poor eye for sourcing goods was well known to Aqua and Darkness, who had once helped sell goods in her shop.
"Instead of letting you waste money on buying unsellable magical items, you'd be better off handing it over to me to manage for household expenses!"
Aqua has recently been receiving allowances, a stark contrast to her previous lavish spending on dividends. She wants to increase the total amount of household funds to increase her daily allowance.
"Ha, what use is it to you, you drunkard, to turn money into alcohol?"
Darkness snapped at Aqua, annoyed. Last time she checked the accounts, she discovered that Aqua had embezzled some of the money meant for groceries and used it to buy an extra bottle of good wine. She had even argued with Aqua about it, which ended with Aqua apologizing for being in the wrong.
But ever since that day, Darkness has always checked the accounts to prevent Aqua from cutting back on the quality of their daily meals.
"However, Aqua and I share the same opinion on your desire to stock up on new products. Miss Wiz, really, forget it. Your magic item shop isn't making a profit these days, so don't let all the money you've earned go to waste."
Darkness also didn't think highly of Wiz's eye for choosing products.
"You two are so mean! Shopping for new products is one of the few joys I have these days."
Wiz was taken aback and had to admit that he really didn't have a good eye for buying goods.
"What are you doing? What happened to Wiz?"
Just then, Broly returned from outside. He had gone to deliver vitality potions to the succubus shop. What used to be a daily delivery of vitality potions had now become a weekly delivery, with each delivery containing a week's worth.
"Wiz wanted to throw the money into the water, and we are stopping her from doing so."
Aqua's words were concise, but they were somewhat offensive to the lich.
"Miss Wiz wants to buy some new products, but she doesn't have much of an eye for them..."
Darkness, however, provided an objective account of the situation.
"Wiz's money should be her own to manage, Master Aqua, so don't even think about taking her money."
Broly glanced at the Lich Lady, then at his master who was eyeing her covetously, and said to Aqua with a hint of helplessness.
"I'm just worried about her losing money. You know, she'll be your wife someday, so her money is your money too."
"Master Aqua, the alcohol you're drinking now is also paid for with my money, and it was bought by you after cutting everyone's meal expenses."
Broly offered a reminder.
"At least it's something to drink, and it's all gone into my stomach, so it's not a loss."
Aqua offered a rebuttal, then shrank back and remained silent.
"Losing money is a minor issue. We'll all be living together from now on, and we can't just watch her keep making money off businesses, can we?"
Darkness's reasoning is valid.
Do you have any good ideas?
Broly asked directly.
"I advised her to give up on purchasing new products."
Darkness said.
"Wiz, what are your thoughts?"
Broly then asked the Lich Lady.
"Everyone says so, so I have no choice but to give up."
Miss Lich was somewhat disappointed, but she was willing to accept well-intentioned advice.
Wiz's happiness level is decreasing.
"Is there a way for you to purchase goods without losing money?"
Broly pressed for more details.
"Well……"
Miss Lich felt troubled. If she had known this method, she wouldn't have become poorer and poorer with each shop she opened before meeting the other party.
"Hey, I've got it!"
However, if you're willing to think, you can always find a way. After carefully considering how to ensure that the goods she selected wouldn't lose money, Miss Lich actually came up with a solution that could barely be considered a workaround.
"Why don't you come with me to buy new products? My taste isn't great, but if you help me choose, I think we can avoid buying some products that are hard to sell."
Three cobblers with their wits combined can outwit one Zhuge Liang.
Upon hearing this, Broly recalled the information and gave the Lich Lady a thumbs up: "That's a good idea."
Darkness stroked her chin. As a noblewoman, she had some appreciation skills, so she casually remarked, "Sounds pretty good."
"Hmph, you're lucky to have me, Aqua, around. I used to be a very skilled treasure appraiser!"
Aqua's interest was piqued, and she appeared confident. However, her so-called expert status was limited to certain games where spirits were smuggled from the human world.
But it doesn't matter. Others don't know her true situation. When Wiz thought about how Aqua's pickles could sell so well, he completely believed her.
After entrusting the magic item shop to the Duke of Barnier, Wiz used his teleportation magic to take the three of them away.
"Instant teleportation!"
A complex magic circle gathered beneath their feet, and in the blink of an eye, the group of people, carrying backpacks and looking like they were going on a trip, disappeared into the dazzling magical light.
The magical light dissipated, and Broly, Wiz, and the others appeared on a vast plain.
Broly looked around in surprise, certain that this was not the plains near Axel, but rather a place some distance away from Axel.
"What, are you interested in the teleportation magic I used?"
Seeing the boy's expression, Wiz couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm, interested."
Broly nodded vigorously, noting that the actual experience was somewhat similar to the time he was taken through by the Crystal Palace.
"Hmm, this spell is quite complex, and it's one of the more difficult advanced spells to learn. Your intelligence isn't high enough, so I'll teach you step by step later."
There are two ways to acquire skills in this world: one is to learn skills by directly adding skill points, and the other is to learn skills through self-study.
The former is simpler, but requires sufficient skill points and prerequisites for learning the skill, such as minimum requirements for certain attribute values.
The latter is difficult, but you can learn to reduce the number of skill points required to add points, and even bypass the prerequisite attribute value requirements of some skills.
Broly, whose intelligence stat is at an average level, cannot learn advanced magic like teleportation by simply allocating points; he must use the traditional method.
"Wiz, where did you bring us? Did you buy all your magical artifacts in the wild?"
Aqua looked around but didn't find any towns nearby, so she started shouting.
"Of course not, it's just that the place I'm going to doesn't allow outsiders to set up teleportation magic coordinates at will."
This is the village where the Crimson Demon Clan has settled, located in the plains near the Crimson Demon Village.
Yes, quite a few orcs used to live here.
"Strange, where did those orcs go?"
Wiz explained the situation and found it somewhat strange.
However, it has been more than a year since she last came here to purchase goods.
Orcs are a nomadic people, so it's normal for them to migrate.
Of course, it's also possible that they were killed by the Crimson Demon Clan.
"There's a large group of creatures coming from over there."
Suddenly, Broly pointed to the forest bordering the plains not far away and said.
"What?"
Aqua and the other two looked over but didn't notice anything unusual.
But only seven or eight seconds later, a rumbling sound came from the direction Broly was pointing.
Suddenly, a group of robust orcs rushed out of the forest. Upon seeing their situation, they roared like mad beasts and charged straight towards them.
"Ah, a huge group of orcs!"
Aqua exclaimed in surprise.
"But why are they all female orcs?"
Darkness was initially excited to hear about the orcs, but after seeing a group of voluptuous female orcs over there, she asked curiously, wanting to see the male orcs.
"There are very few male orcs left in the world now. It is said that this is because the female orcs have too strong a desire, which has led to the male orcs being exploited to death."
Even if male orc children are occasionally born, they will be raped and killed by female orcs before they reach adulthood.
Nowadays, orcs are a group of guys who kidnap male members of other races who invade their territory and bring them back to their villages to do unspeakable things.
Wiz answered Darkness's question.
"Ah, the ugly, savage male orc who would do all sorts of things to me after capturing me is gone?"
Darkness's eyes lost their sparkle, as if her dreams had been shattered.
"Damn it, what are you thinking, you masochistic, perverted muscle woman? Even if there are male orcs, you can't possibly be caught. Pay attention to your wifely virtues as the future wife of my disciple!"
With a loud slap, Aqua raised her hand and slapped the female knight's buttocks hard.
"Ouch~"
But after slapping her, Aqua covered her hand and yelled at Darkness.
"Just how much muscle is in your ass, you idiot?"
"My butt doesn't have any muscles; it's all soft on the outside."
"Hey, is this the time to argue about this? Those female orcs are coming soon."
Wiz reminded them, which finally stopped Aqua and Darkness's argument.
"So, they're planning to attack us, right?"
"Well, not really. Female orcs aren't interested in women of other races. In fact, women are safer when they pass through their territory because the male beasts and magical beasts in their territory have all been captured."
Wiz shook his head, denying Darkness's conjecture.
"So why are they charging at us now?"
Aqua frowned and asked.
"Those female orcs have smelled the male scent and are in heat, preparing to attack the male of another race."
After Wiz finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, and then...
"Damn it, they're after my adorable disciple?!"
Aqua grabbed her flower bud staff and glared angrily at the charging female beastmen.
"You won't get past my lines!"
Darkness also raised her two-handed greatsword and stood at the very front.
"If possible, let them calm down as much as possible."
Wiz said something, and frost had already formed beneath her feet.
"Human women, we have no interest in you, get out of our way!"
"Hand over the man, I want to eat him, and then have forty boys and sixty girls!"
……
The female orcs still possessed a primal instinct; after Aqua drew her weapon, they could clearly sense that this group was not easy to deal with.
However, this is not a reason to stop them from attacking human males, even if the human male looks like a cub, as they are already somewhat hungry for them.
"Who would entrust Broly to a bunch of ugly orcs?"
"You bastard, how dare you call us ugly ghosts! I'll shit my ass on your head!"
"Charge, sisters! Take them down and steal their men!"
The battle to protect the chastity of Saiyan boys was about to begin, but it ended in less than half a minute.
"Water is generated."
"Earth-Splitting Slash!"
"Ju-on: Frozen Throne"
Aqua was in charge of releasing the water, Darkness was in charge of creating water barriers, and Wiz was in charge of casting ice magic to calm down the female orcs who were submerged but still struggling to swim.
In just a short while, a huge ice sculpture appeared on the plain, freezing a group of female orcs in a state of estrus inside. Their distorted and ferocious faces, desperately trying to release their desires, were lifelike inside the ice sculpture.
"Are these orcs edible?"
Broly, who had been protected the whole time, looked at the female beastmen who were frozen into ice sculptures and couldn't help but ask his three wives.
"Broly, what are you thinking? How can you eat this filthy, lustful female orc?"
Aqua started to lecture her.
"Well, it's not that you can't eat it. I've seen some recipes before that contain dishes made with orc meat."
It is said that orc meat is somewhat similar to pork, except that it is firmer and more flavorful than regular pork. However, it also has a stronger gamey smell, and only a chef skilled in cooking orc meat can handle this odor.
Darkness, however, gave a different answer.
"Broly, are you really going to eat them?"
Wiz asked the question. Although the human diet in this world is quite extensive, unless one has a rather extreme palate, very few people would eat intelligent demi-human monsters.
Of course, if we go back a hundred or two hundred years, orcs would still be considered part of the human diet in this world.
"These orcs want to eat me, and I happen to want to taste them too. It's a win-win situation, so is there a problem?"
There was no problem, but under Aqua's firm opposition and protest, Broly could only reluctantly leave the frozen ingredients, looking back every few steps.
"Given the orcs' vitality, some should be able to survive after thawing."
Broly had the idea of sneaking back to retrieve the body, so he followed Wiz toward the gradually rising plains.
