Chapter 1003 Gifting Zack His Armor
-----
After taking a bath, we walked downstairs and were greeted by all our friends and family having already a huge breakfast feast without us! Looks like we were taking a bit too long.
Nonetheless, we used this opportunity to quickly gift Zack his well-deserved armor. My parents were shocked when I took it off and revealed it to everyone.
The mere presence of the armor exuded a powerful Aura of strength like nothing they have ever seen before. My mother and my father in particular seemed amazed.
Despite having already seen many of the things I could create, they always acted like this… I guess it was hard to get used to having such an amazing daughter, heh!
"Wow! This is amazing, Sylphy! This armor…! It's so huge but so light too?! And I can sense so much magic power from it!" Zack was excited, stopping his meal and quickly getting up to try it.
"Try it out then! I made it with all my efforts for my best friend!" I smiled, as Zack blushed a bit, thanking me.
"Thanks a lot!" He suddenly gave me a hug, as I couldn't help but pat his head. "It's nothing, that's what I owed you, I never go back in my words. Now try it out already!"
"Yeah!" Zack immediately wore it.
It looked perfect on him; it will slowly readjust to his size as he grows up too thanks to the magic properties and the elasticity of Mithril.
With the full body armor, he already looked like a renowned, mighty adventurer or even a young knight that went into adventures and slayed beasts around the world.
"Woah, my Wind and Thunder Elemental Magic has become so strong now!" Zack released sparks of electricity and winds from his hands. "And despite wearing an armor, I suddenly feel even physically stronger? Like twice my strength!"
"Incredible!" Mist said. "You look so gallant in that armor, Zack! You're like a knight now! Am I your damsel?"
"Hahaha, I guess you could put it that way." Zack laughed with his beloved girlfriend. "I wonder if I have enough money… Sylphy, could I commission you something for Mist too?"
"E-Eh? For me?! Zack, you don't really have to…" Mist muttered.
"Hmmm! Well, I have been thinking about making something more." I said. "I guess so! But the cost won't be cheap. What's your budget?" I wondered.
"I-I think I have saved like one hundred and fifty million gold." He said, recalling how much he has learned selling monster carcasses and from quests he has completed in the adventurer guild.
"I honestly am not sure how much that armor is worth at all." I rubbed my chin. "So it's hard to tell what the price would be…"
"Y-You don't really have to do anything, Sylphy. Just don't listen to him. He likes to spoil me too much, haha." Mist giggled. "Zack, I'm fine. I already have great equipment I've bought and had have gifted from Lady Faylen, there's no need for more."
"Are you sure?" Zack was really kind of like me, always wanting to spoil his girlfriend and see her happy and smiling. "Well, alright… I'll just have to save more money then!"
"Save it for our future, dummy." Mist sighed, patting his shoulders. "Didn't you promised we would get a house together? Save the money for that day!"
"R-Right! Hahah, I forgot." Zack laughed it off cheerfully.
My parents were talking between each other, until they finally addressed it…
"Sylphy…" My mother called. "H-How did you made such an incredible armor out of nowhere? Usually a work like this… takes at the very least several weeks, even for the most talented people."
"And about the price… If it has so many abilities, I would say that armor is worth at least five hundred million gold…" My father said.
"That's a very rough estimate, if it was made with Mithril like the one you got from that golem, and rainbow spirit stones, which are even rarer. I think it would go as high as seven hundred million." My mother estimated with her merchant senses.
"W-Woah… Am I wearing that much money?!" Zack was taken aback. "Yikes… I don't know what to say anymore."
"See? I told you that you wouldn't be able to commission Sylphy! Something of similar quality would be at least five hundred million, we don't make that much money…" Mist sighed. "Even after we always make a lot with our hunts and all, we still need some stable job."
"We do earn some from her by helping her handle the dungeon materials. She pays us quite generously." Said Zack. "But yeah…"
"I-I never considered my creations would be so expensive…" I said. "My Appraising Eyes don't give me information regarding prices… Mom, then how expensive are these other things?"
I showed her my two rings, my dragon scale armor, my golden diadem, and even my sword and shield, which were now Familiars.
"Well, this armor I've seen you wear around, these rings… Oh my, you're wearing at least a billion gold with everything you have on. The price of your sword and your shield are incommensurable because they posses Souls. Living Weapons are priceless and entire countries would fight to get them because they can keep growing endlessly." My mother explained.
"We haven't addressed these things because we didn't want to bother you, but you need to begin developing a bit more common sense, dear. Once you enter the academy everyone will think you're weird if you don't know these things." My father admitted. "It would be better to hide the fact your weapons are alive, if possible.
"Okay, I'll tell them." I nodded. "It's quite surprising, it doesn't really take me that long to make these items…"
I guess its mostly thanks to my Alchemy Skills, Crafting, Metallurgy, and so on… They're all over the top abilities that are much better to master and utilize compared to their Magic Spell counterparts.
"Yeah, I guess you're really a craftsman and alchemist genius too!" My mother sighed, crossing her arms. "Felicia will have a lot of fun teaching you, finally someone appears that could actually become that woman's disciple."
"Felicia?" I asked.
"Oh, that's the Witch of the Blue Mountain's real name." My father said.
