The Grant Elder was a very important person. Ed didn't hide his joy that the top leader in the kingdom of Travia would help them.

"That would be a big help." "Let's not do this here, but let's go to the place where the 'sun never goes down'."

At first, when they said they were going there, his expression hardened, but now it's rather the opposite. He also nodded because he had to meet Thane.

"Let's go."

Grant took the lead and walked along with them.

"It's been three years since I saw Master Paladin. How is he?"

Knowing that Arin was a holy knight, she nodded when he brought up a common interest.

"He was okay until he came back from the exorcism training a year ago. I didn't know you had a connection with Master Paladin." "Hahaha. I thought you were coming forward because of that." "That's just the right thing to do."

Ed smiled at Arin's answer. As a former professional gamer, Ed used to play along with his sponsors to extort as much money as possible, but Arin wasn't like that. Indeed, the Astron Church itself was not a church that the upper class could not dare to compare themselves to, and that attitude was understood by the highest holy knight there. Grant didn't lose his smile despite Arin's reply.

"As expected, you are a holy knight. May Astron's glory be with you." "May Astron's glory be with you."

He has become more comfortable with Asin so far. But he had to remember that she was a holy knight. A holy knight who didn't even know how to get information from people at first. Together, she became comfortable dealing with the creatures night after night, showing to others that she is still a noble holy knight. Her sword-like appearance seemed new to the aristocracy. Grant also approached Ed because he seemed easier to talk to than Arin."

"I've heard your reputation as a demon hunter. I heard that you caught more than 20 demons, and your skills are amazing."

He caught 41 demons, but he didn't mean to correct the fact.

"I just try my best." "Just let me know if you need anything. I'll do everything I can to help you."

Ed didn't decline.

"Get me 500 arrowheads, dwarfs that can strengthen the bow of relics, and materials that can strengthen my bow of ice."

Grant flinched briefly at Ed's appearance but never lost his smile.

"If you're looking for a dwarf who can strengthen your artifact bow, do you mean a Volcov?"

It was a dwarf who used to make materials for the demon's Age 1, and must still be alive. He remembered that they were pretty good at strengthening weapons. The material that can strengthen the bow of ice would be the heart of Kelpethia. Considering the difficulty, it is not easy to get it.

"I think if we can strengthen the coolness, we'll need the heart of Kelpethia."

Grant was well-informed in this regard, as the top shareholder of the target group. So Ed nodded his head.

"You should at least be able to do that for me."

Grant thought about it for a while and replied.

"The arrowheads will take a while to make, but it’s possible. The heart of Kelpethia is pretty expensive, but it’s possible. However, you have to go to the Volcov yourself. It is the blacksmith in the royal palace after all." "That's true. I'll have to make time for that."

The bow of ice arrows is an artifact-class equipment and is still being used satisfactorily enough. But does it work for intermediate demons, and does it work for higher demons? In particular, it needs to be strengthened if it is to work for the Great demon. It had to give off a stronger chill compared to Mana. To do so, strengthening is essential. It’s easier to beg a rich person to make this happen. He had to grab this opportunity.

Look at that! Grant can do everything Ed asked for, but Ed still had to go meet Volcov. The blacksmith in the royal palace never invited, but Grants talking like he did!

"I'll see you in the capital in a month. I'll have everything ready by then."

A month. He had to wait until he could receive what he asked for. And there was a person he would like to see in the capital. Pendrigan. The free knight Pendrigan. He was the only main character in the demon's Age 1 who was known for his position. Ed wanted to meet the person who killed the Great demon.

"See you in a month."

As Grant smiled and led them along, Arin murmured softly.

"If there was anything you needed, the church would have everything prepared for you."

Ed smiled at Arin's murmur. He knows that Astron has a lot of money, but if he gets too much help from them, he'll be in debt then. Grant would gladly accept Ed’s request because Ed saved his life. But he didn't want to say anything disappointing. Arin murmured so quietly that Ed could hear her, and returned to the face of a noble knight.

The 7th floor of where the 'sun never goes down'. Where he met Thane, Ed was sitting with Arin looking at the true scenery.

"Meryl, forgive me!" "Get off of me."

Grant was kneeling down and begging, holding onto Meryl's hem, and she was shoving his face verbally with a look of indifference.

"It's my fault!"

When Ed laughed in vain at Grant's clingy appearance, Thane poured out the drink and said.

"Is that why you're here?" "Yes, some of the lords and nobles died, but if we let them go, something more dangerous would have happened, so we managed to keep them out of harm's way." "That's a relief." "I think I'll have to stop by the capital in a month because Grant is providing equipment." "In the capital?" "Yes."

Thane nodded as if nothing had happened.

"Come to think of it, I have to see Pendrigan. How's Arin?" "Well, I have to start the exorcism as soon as possible."

Ed shook his head at her words.

"Arin, to be honest with you, I don't think we can deal with a superior demon right now."

Arin looked at Ed quietly. A man who bet his life on every single training and everything on demon hunting. He may know better about the demon than she does, but once she is prophesied, she only fulfills her duties as a holy knight.

"But you can't step down unless you've been prophesied." "I'm not telling you to step down. But dealing with the demon when you're not ready is just barbarism."

Arin saw Ed and stepped back.

"I think we can at least get to the next goal, so let's catch it and think about it." "Well done."

Ed is gaining experience constantly with her, but it was hard to believe that she had grown to the point where she could deal with a superior demon. Her equipment were three artifacts, so she doesn't have to upgrade the equipment like Ed. In the future, not only the higher demon but also the greater demon has to be dealt with, so there is a limit to the equipment now. While the group was talking, there was progress between Grant and Meryl.

"Hand over the liquor business." "Is that enough? I can hand over the perfume business if you want."

Grant quickly changed the subject when he saw Meryl's eye and realized his mistake.

"I was trying to say that I wanted to give you the vacation house in Vern City."

Meryl smiled at his words.

"Okay, I'll forgive you for your sincerity." "Thank you. I'll try harder l in the future."

After Grant was forgiven by Meryl, he laughed loudly and shouted so loud that the place where the 'sun never goes down' could hear him.

"Today's guests will not have to pay for their drinks, so please help yourself!" "Wow!"

They could hear cheers down there, and Grant approached the table. Even though it would cost a lot of money to get 10,000 gold in compensation, He was amazed by Grant's distribution. It was like they rang the golden bell today. When he asked for forgiveness, he looked desperate and returned to the form of a grand upper-class man. He sat down and greeted Thane.

"I've heard a lot about you. I'm Grant." "Nice to meet you, but are we free to drink?" "Of course." "Then can I have the 32-year-old Pretian?"

Grant looked back at Meryl and asked.

"Do you still have some?" "Of course. It's not a drink that just anyone can buy." "I don't think there's anything as good as that to treat my benefactor today, so please give it to him."

Meryl got up from her seat. When Ed saw it, he asked Grant.

"It must be a precious drink."

The answer was given by Thane instead.

"Precious. A bottle costs more than 100 gold."

Ed momentarily thought these humans were crazy. With 100 gold, you can buy relics-class equipment. It's over 100 million won in Korean won, but that's the price of a bottle of alcohol? While Ed was surprised, Meryl brought the bottle. The look of the 17-year-old mountain was different. It was a bottle that seemed to have a halo around it because of its price. Thane smiled at the sight.

"I tried it at Pendrigan's wedding and I really wanted to try it again. This is how you make your wishes come true."

When Meryl opened the cap of the bottle, the scent exploded. It was a more concentrated scent than the Pretian 17-year-old one. Will it taste good if the scent is this strong? He thought it might taste like fabric softener, but he was still a little excited because the price was so high. Thane helped Ed with a mouthful.

"It's rare, and there's no drink as strong as this. And Pendrigan fainted after just three shots."

Ed looked back at Thane.

"How much did you drink?" "I had two. I thought I'd die if I drank more."

Thane likes to drink, but this was so strong that he only drank only two shots? It's tempting. The glass was filled with alcohol, and everyone held it up. Grant bowed his head to me and said.

"Once again, thank you for saving my life."

Ed raised his glass instead of answering, and everyone emptied it at once. Ed can tell it's a tough drink. It went into his stomach and the heat came up and he felt like was going to throw up. When he opened his mouth unknowingly due to the heat that rose up, the scent burst out and vibrated in the intestines. It is not just the degree to which the scent comes out of the mouth, but the scent that comes out after drinking makes the scent vibrate, which is also admired. Thane's face, which had emptied a glass, was turning red. He was closing his eyes and savoring it. Ed had never had such a strong drink. He's had quite a hard drink, but it's different from what he's had so far. With Ed's physical strength now, that bottle seemed to knock him out. At that time, Arin said, with her face flushed, sticking out her glass.

"Ed, have another drink with me."

Ed didn't have to say no. It was such a great drink that he felt it was a waste not to drink more.

"Are you all right?"

Arin replied with a smile.

"Then do you want to make a bet?" "A bet?"

Ed stared blankly at Arin. Arin slipped away and said.

"The loser will grant the winner's wish."

Ed wondered why Arin was making such an ambitious challenge. But Ed, who had never avoided anyone's challenge, nodded and said.

"These are the witnesses." "Of course!"

While everyone was looking, the glass filled, and Ed and Arin emptied the glass at once. Perhaps because it was a strong drink, Arin's eyes were slightly relaxed in the second glass. Ed also felt tipsy but asked Arin.

"Are you all right?"

Arin stuck out her glass. The third glass was filled and Ed and Arin emptied the glass at the same time. Arin calmly lowered her glass and looked at Ed. Ed tried to fill the next glass with a clear look in his eyes, but he hit his head on the table. If Ed hadn't reached out and accepted it, he would have fainted to the point of seeing a bump on his forehead tomorrow morning. Ed rubbed his face against his palm and smiled unconsciously when he saw her asleep. He's never seen anything like her before.

"She's so cute."
