Chapter 200 - 200 ⤞ Don't Worry About Me, I'll Accept Everything From Adam
The mansion explosion in the suburbs needed to be reported to Lord Dustiness and explained to the Adventurers' Guild.
The violent explosion had alarmed Axel's villagers, and since it concerned the lord's safety, the townspeople needed reassurance.
The party visited the Guild to clarify that it was merely an accident — no one was injured or attacked by Devil King Army Generals, so constant vigilance wasn't necessary.
They then sought out the foreman who had helped expand their mansion. At the ruins of the suburban mansion, he assessed the rebuilding timeline and calculated costs.
With only 200 million in savings, if the costs proved too high, they'd need to reduce their budget for rare ingredients.
Fortunately, the foreman's calculations showed the rebuilding costs weren't excessive. The situation had both advantages and drawbacks.
The good news: since the foundation and basement remained intact, reconstruction would take just two months.
The bad news: winter's arrival made construction unsuitable. Even if they rushed, they couldn't finish before winter's end and would likely need to halt mid-construction.
They had no choice but to wait for spring.
While Bill continued forging equipment, the party members — driven away by the constant hammering — needed to find a quiet place to rest.
After discussion, they all agreed to visit Wiz's Magic Item Shop.
"Yo, Wiz, we're here."
They pushed open the door.
This time, there was no exciting scene — the impoverished shop owner lay motionless on the counter. Her face was paler than usual, her breathing slow and labored, as if at death's door.
Huh?
"Wiz, are you alright?!"
Rushing forward, Adam used〘Drain Touch〙to transfer energy to her, helping her recover.
Since she was a lich,〘Heal〙would not only fail to help but actually harm her, making this "evil skill" the only viable healing method.
"No, I'm fine." Wiz's face regained some color as she got up from the counter, waving her hand dismissively, "I just haven't eaten for three days because I have no money. It's nothing serious, thanks for your concern."
"Hey! How is that nothing serious? You haven't eaten for three days — you're practically at death's door!" Kazuma retorted, "Speaking of which, isn't Wiz a lich? Keele is also a lich, so why doesn't he need to eat?"
"It's probably related to physical vitality." Adam said, curious about her need for food, "Keele doesn't eat, which is why he looks like a skeleton. Wiz eats food, so she maintains her body and its vitality... something like that."
Wiz clapped her hands excitedly, "Oh, that makes sense! That's possible!"
"Well, it's just my guess." He pinched her cool, slightly fleshy hand, "By the way, you're a lich yourself — why do you look so enlightened by this?"
"Ehehe..." Wiz raised both hands to her chest and laughed sheepishly.
Although she was a lich, she had never thought about these things. Eating was just maintaining her habits from when she was alive, and perhaps because of that, she could still feel hunger.
"Aqua, do you know?" Adam turned to Aqua, who was examining the merchandise, "You're a goddess, right? As the natural enemy of liches, do you know about Wiz's situation?"
Aqua shook her head, "No, I don't know. When I encounter liches, I just purify them quickly. Who would bother re
"Go ahead, don't worry about me — I'll accept anything from Adam!"
"Here I come!"
"..." x4
The experiment proved successful.
However, the effect was limited to〘Water Magic〙. Apart from specific magical attributes and Breathing Techniques that naturally countered Liches, nothing else affected Wiz.
This discovery left Adam rather disappointed.
