Chapter 671 - Reward Part 1
Chapter 671 – Reward Part 1
*Cough!*
*Cough!*
Dourner kept coughing uncontrollably. On the one hand, he didn't want Theo to waste the wine he had spent 200 hundred years cultivating. On the other hand, he didn't want to accept the fact he had lost to a mere kid.
"What's wrong?" Theo's smile became even bigger. "You can surrender now."
"You bastard. I'm not going down." Dourner gritted his teeth and poured the wine again.
Clone Theo drank the wine without hesitation, finishing it not long after Dourner.
1st Jar…
2nd Jar…
3rd Jar…
By the time they got into the fourth jar, Dourner had dropped his jar and looked down with so much regret in his heart. "I've lost…"
His heart was bleeding when seeing Theo wasting all that wine.
"Hahahaha!" The dragon laughed and raised his head. "It's been a while since I last saw something so amusing."
"This is not a laughing matter." Dourner gritted his teeth.
"Not only did the kid beat you completely, but it was also your best term. Why don't you reward this kid with something more generous… Hahaha, this guy is good."
It was clear from his face that he didn't want to grant Theo, the man who had wasted his wine, something extraordinary, but he knew that Theo didn't break any rule in the competition.
"Kh…" Dourner looked at Theo with his eyebrows twitching. In the end, he shouted, "Just say what you want! I will grant it as long as there won't be a connection to the outside world."
Theo was amused by his expression as he said, "In that case…"
He took out his artifact and presented it to him. "I would like to modify this artifact."
"Huh?" Dourner was even more bewildered by his choice. He thought Theo wanted their best weapon or technology. Although it would be troubling for him, he had prepared his heart for it.
To think what Theo wanted was only his weapon. Not only did he provide the weapon he wanted, which didn't require much more additional resources for him, but the weapon of his choice was also already good enough to the point modification wouldn't be that much of a problem.
"You… You're a bad guy, but I guess you're a good guy too…" Dourner stated in disbelief.
"I don't understand what you're talking about, but I will take it as a compliment."
"Well, well… If you only want that, I will modify your weapon myself." Dourner suddenly made an abrupt change of mood as he patted Theo's shoulder while laughing. "What's your request? I will modify it for you. Do you want to upgrade the weapon's strength?"
"That's too, but I'm still a Hero Rank Expert. Even if I upgrade the strength of my weapon, I don't think I can handle the power input." Theo shook his head in disappointment.
"That's true." Dourner nodded with a serious expression. "Then, what do you want?"
"I actually want this weapon to be more versatile." Theo pointed at the spear with Fenrir's words in mind. He didn't want to fixate on one form, so he thought this was the best time to modify his spear.
Fenrir told him that the dwarf could make a weapon with multiple forms, so he believed this was that exact opportunity.
Although he got captured, he was satisfied with this kind of reward.
"Versatile? In what way?"
"I want to use this spear and any other weapons. In other words, I want this spear to be a sword, a bow, and other forms." Theo stated.
"Hoh? That's an interesting concept." Dourner looked down with his chin resting in his palm, contemplating the concept.
After a while, he said, "I think I can do it, but with my resources and skill, I can only give you five forms. For now, you have those two forms, which are the bracelet form and spear form. It's better if you decide on the other three forms first."
"In that case, I already have them in my mind. They're a sword, a sniper rifle, and a shield."
"Huh? What a unique choice you have… And what's this sniper rifle?"
"It's a modern weapon." Theo looked at Agata and asked, "Do we have any picture of it?"
"I don't think we have. And we don't have any reception here, so I don't think we can find one." She shook her head.
"I have one." The dragon suddenly broke his silence. "But it's in my nest and I don't want to return there for the time being. So…"
He suddenly utilized his lightning and burned the stone slightly, providing a drawing.
With just one picture of the weapon, Dourner immediately understood the concept. "I see. It's a kind of improvised crossbow. However, this one should have improved ammunition and aim. There is also the fact…"
He suddenly fell silent and nodded. "I kind of understand. But it will require something to shoot, right?"
"Yes." Theo raised his hand and formed his Magic Bullets before combining them into one. After that, he changed his Magic Bullet form into a real bullet and enveloped it with his Magic Power and a bit of compressed air.
This was the most concentrated attack he had ever made, but it was still too much for him to release this kind of power while fighting. So, Theo thought about making a weapon that allowed him to release this power.
"I see. So, you want something that can launch your Magic Power with minimal assistance."
"Yes. I believe this attack is going to be powerful… It's gonna take time to master it, but it's on me."
"I can understand the concept and this thing you show me emphasizes penetrating power and explosive power… probably upon impact." Dourner looked down and nodded. "Yeah. I can see what you're aiming for.
"As for the sword… I don't think it's a problem. The problem is your last request, the shield." He thought for a moment. "I need something strong enough to withstand the Magic Power since I can't really give you something so thin… It's going to snap easily.
"Well, I think I have a metal suit for that." Dourner ultimately confirmed. "Yeah, I think I can make it for you. Unfortunately, I can't give you a big shield that can protect your entire body. So I will utilize that jewel to form a bigger shield. It should be more durable than the shield on your right."
"Great." Theo smiled as he thought, 'As expected of a Dwarf… He knows about the ring too…'
