Golden Fox with System

158 Chapter 158

Theo and the girls had just returned to the workshop.

While talking, Theo was conflicted over whether he should alter their memories a little since they had seen his level 5 armour. But, after further thought, he decided against that idea. Mainly because he had managed to enter the Wizard Kingdom. Basically, it was not actually that challenging to get a level 5 armour at this level of cultivation. Of course, it would be an entirely different matter if it were a level 6 armour and weapon.

Of course, even if he didn't erase their memories, he didn't neglect to warn them not to tell anyone about it. Especially that it was he who went through this Celestial Tribulation.

"Of course!" Seeing how serious Theo looked while he was explaining all of this to them, they knew they must not talk about this incident to any other people. They understood the gravity of the situation and made a mental note never leak any information about this incident to anyone.

Even children who couldn't understand these subjects knew it would not be okay to tell anyone. And basically, Theo was the idol of their hearts. They nodded vigorously and knew they should keep it secret.

It was too late for the orphanage girls to go to the Weapon Shop today. Well, because of this incident, many stores also closed early.

"Oh, right, I had already prepared breakfast… well, it's too late to have it now, but we can still have our afternoon coffee," Aine said.

"Sure." They nodded and started toward the orphanage.

While they left, Theo said, "I have something I need to do right now. I'll be back before dinner." Theo said as he said goodbye to them.

Although they were curious about where he was going, they decided not to ask him. They always knew that if it were necessary, he would tell them.

In the Town Lord's Mansion - In the Courtyard where the Snow Lake Sect was staying.

Shortly after taking a drink of some Sake, Naiana said with a long sigh, "I just hope you don't get in trouble because of Lindalva's earlier actions…"

Kauana looked worriedly at her friend, thought and said, "Hrm… I don't think you need to worry about it that much. If they were going to do something, it would already have been done by now."

"I understand that, too. If there were going to be any further action, it would have been done immediately." Naiana paused and continued, "But still, I can't help being afraid when I remember that guy's power." She sighed.

She knew that she would be at the mercy of someone who was in the Spiritual Kingdom, and by the reaction of her Sect, there would be no assistance from them either. But she also knew it was a given as long as the most powerful person they have is in the 12th Layer of the Upper Wizard Kingdom. So even if she wanted to do something, she wouldn't take action to die for Naiana.

"Can I join you?"

"Who are you?" They were alert on the spot at the sudden appearance.

This guy was actually Theo! He said nothing in response, but instead, he suddenly grabbed a cup of sake, surprising them.

"Tell me who you are and why you came here?" Kauana said with anger and caution.

"Haha, it doesn't have to be that way, I'm just here to talk to you guys," said Theo, laughing a little and drank a lot of the sake. He could feel warm sake entering his body.

"Mmm. Good!" Theo nodded with satisfaction as he drank.

They settled down a bit and sat down, but remained alert because they could not feel the Mana from Theo's body. Therefore, they decided not to act hastily. Even more, since they could only perceive his presence when he was in front of him. It made their foreheads sweat because they knew that with this level of concealment and agility, he could kill them quite easily.

Theo lowered the sake cup, sighing and said, "Don't worry, I don't mean any of you harm."

Despite hearing him say that, they still didn't let their guards down in front of him. Naiana looked at Theo warily. Despite being surprised by his charming, manly appearance, she asked, "Who are you, and why do you want to talk to us?"

Theo sat in front of them, placing the sake cup on the table. Bringing his two hands together, he looked thoughtfully at them and said, "Good. My name is Theo, and I'm the owner of the Orphanage Weapons Shop." He smiled as he saw them in surprise and continued, "I'm here today because I want to negotiate with you."

They started to frown and were surprised to learn that he was from that orphanage. Naiana spoke in the most respectful way possible, even though she didn't know what kind of relationship he would have with the one who just went through the Celestial Tribulation, "Lord Theo, can we know what business you have with us?"

Kauana also looked into Theo's eyes, searching for an answer.

Theo looked at them with a calm gaze. Unlike before, he didn't need to fear them anymore. Theo might have had some difficulty fighting them before his Tribulation, as they are in the 4th and 5th Layers of the Wizard Kingdom. But now, he doesn't care about that anymore. He could see the disparity between their powers just by looking at them. Although they might have a higher cultivation level, they still lacked in Mana quality.

Theo could imagine that even though they were from Sects with some resources, they still have many impurities in their bodies. No wonder the Mana in their bodies is at this quality and purity.

"Well, it's quite simple, actually." Theo put his two hands together and looked at them seriously and said, "I need a lot of Magic Cores to forge weapons for my shop, and I wanted to propose a deal for you to sell me some. I believe it would not be too difficult for you to fulfil such a deal, right? Plus, it would probably be a good deal for you, too."

"I understand, I know that in this small town it would be hard to obtain a lot of Magic Cores." Kauana nodded and asked, "I can get in touch with someone from my Sect in the Naga Empire to send me some. However, how many Magic Cores are we talking about, and what level of cultivation do they need to be?"
