Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Since the matter had been settled, we went back over to the rest of the group.

Ivar and Varric were looking at us with strange looks, but I said, "It should be fine. We'll have to talk to someone about this, but we should be able to get the blast crystals that you were asking for."

To my surprise, there wasn't any doubt at all in their eyes as they looked at me.

Normally in situations like this, one would at least feel a bit doubtful over something like this since I had said it in such an uncertain way. But these two didn't seem to have any doubts at all, leaving it all up to me.

It was touching in a way.

But then again, this was just how the dwarves were in the first place.

They were a bit rough around the edges, but they were direct like this.

It was just how they were and it wasn't a bad thing.

Sometimes being direct like this was better than beating around the bush.

Since they put their faith in me, I just said, "I'll try to get the good news as soon as possible."

There were some other things that I had wanted to ask, but I held myself back in the end. After all, it was clear that this involved some kind of secret that they didn't want others knowing about.

In that case, out of respect for them and for the sake of our friendship, I would hold myself back.

With this matter settled, Varric finally asked, "So what did you all come here for?"

Ivar gave a sigh before saying, "We came here for a tour of the mine."

But after saying this, he leaned in to whisper something to Varric.

Varric narrowed his eyes when he heard this and his complete tone changed.

He had gone from an excitable person to someone that was serious and shouldn't be underestimated.

It could be said that he had gone from a collector to a boss.

After becoming serious, he looked at us for a bit before waving his hand and saying, "Come on then, I'll show you around."

With that, he headed into the mines without even caring whether we were following or not.

Ivar revealed a bitter smile, but he led us forward, following behind Varric.

As we went through the mines, Varric didn't say a thing to us, but he did have plenty to say to the dwarves around us. 

All of the dwarves that we passed seemed to have something that they had to bring up with Varric and he dealt with them as he led us deeper into the mine.

From the fragments that we could hear, it was clear that Varric was the boss here.

But for a member of the Silvermine Family to personally run this mine, this seemed a bit…

Seeing the look on our faces, ivar filled in the context.

"It's what he enjoys doing, so we let him do it. He likes working with the ores and personally extracting them from the ground, so why not let him run the mines?"

It seemed that it was the whim of a wealthy person.

His family was rich and they didn't need him, so he just did what he wanted to do.

They found him a place that he wanted to be in and left him there.

He wasn't the family head, so it wasn't as if he was needed in the main manor. So he was the free willed second son that just did whatever he wanted.

Plus with the fact that he didn't want to get married, it really fitted the stereotype from my old world…

Finally after walking for a while, we reached the depths of the mine where mithril was being mined out.

When we reached the vein, Varric finally turned back to say with a wide smile, "This is the product that you'll be buying."

I didn't really react, but the rest of my group did.

They all looked at the mithril with strange complicated looks while also having a trace of shock in their eyes.

It was clear that there was something abnormal about this mithril.

After a long silence, Haley slowly muttered, "This quality…it's better than anything that I've heard of before."

Quality?

I took a closer look at the mithril and realized that it was much more silver compared to normal, showing that it was a higher quality of mithril.

But for someone like me who had already seen things like adamantium, mithril really was just a mid tier ore for me. It didn't matter what the quality of the ore was since it was just too low grade for me to get excited about.

But when Varric heard what Haley said, he revealed a satisfied look before saying, "So, what are you willing to pay for it?"

No one said a thing in response to this, but Varric didn't mind as he changed his way of speaking.

Varric calmly said, "I've heard that you brought good alcohol with you this time."

Ivar knitted his brows when he heard this before saying, "Varric, this…"

Varric raised a hand to cut him off before saying, "Big brother, we're just talking about buying alcohol from them. They will pay in gold coins and then we'll buy alcohol from them."

Ivar was about to say something, but then he seemed to realize something.

That was right, it didn't matter if they bought alcohol with the gold coins afterwards. As long as they paid after receiving the gold coins and there was a proper paper trail, there would be no suspicion of embezzlement at all.

Of course, this would create more work for the humans, but…for the sake of his alcohol, he could only endure and push this onto them.

After he thought this through, he turned to look at Haley who had also come back to her senses.

She said with a smile, "Of course, it's not a problem for us."

Both Varric and Ivar revealed wide smiles hearing this.
