"Please reconsider this, Mr. Rimuru!" Gard Mjöllmile, the world's self-proclaimed best merchant was following behind Rimuru, sweating heavily.
"I told you, I have no reason to sell you the recipes." Rimuru responded, he was busy, reading through a sheet of paper while walking.
"I am willing to pay double the price and even give you 5% royalty of any profit made." Gard said nervously.
"Even if it was for 50%, I wouldn't."
"Just think about, I have many restaurants branches through the world, the profit my chain will be able to generate will be incredible. Gard was hellbent on getting every recipe he tasted in Tempest, the food was on a whole new level.
"The food recipes are a cultural symbol and an important tourism attraction." Rimuru replied.
"But the recipe will be decoded by someone with a chef skill to taste the food, it will be copied sooner than later, so why not take advantage and make a profit soon." Gard said.
For Gard, Rimuru was a big wall he needs to overcome, he seems confident in their ability to protect the recipe, the brother of the king is sure capable.
'FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT SKILLS!!' Rimuru shouted in his head as he stopped suddenly.
"Hm? Mr. Rimuru?"
"Ahm! Mr. Gard, after careful consideration, why don't we go to my office and we can talk more in depth about this topic?"
Gard brightened up immediately "YES SIR!!" He shouted.
.....
Besides the new lake of Tempest, Acnologia and Irene were taking a look at the fish Zegion brought to the city
When Irene saw it, she only had one thought 'A swimming Diamond Mine!'
But Acnologia found the giant monster cute, it was his pet now, Leviathan being intelligent, it realized it's situation, and prefers to be the city's pet than being their dinner.
And currently Acnologia is playing with Leviathan, throwing it some fish like a seal in a an aquarium.
"Guy was seen heading towards the core of The Frost Elder Dragon?" Irene frowned at Souei's report.
"Yes, According to my information, Gay Crimson has been mass producing some sort of weapons that gives a terrifying aura, similar to Acnologia-sama's aura." Souei said.
"The Elder Dragon aura..." Irene replied in a deep thought, ignoring the obvious strangely mispronounced name "So he has a method to produce Elder Weapons." She said "This is dangerous. You said he was heading towards Frosiris...how far is he?" She asked.
"Two weeks ago, near the outskirts of the ShiverFrost Peaks." Souei replied.
Irene opened her eyes wide open "Two weeks ago, he must be near the heart of the ShiverFrosts by now. Acno! Come and listen, this is serious!!" She looked at her carefree husband and spoke.
Acnologia shrugged his shoulders "I can hear you, What ever the Gay demon does, is not a problem for us." He said.
"If Guy manages to awaken Frosiris, it will be a disaster, an Ice age will fall on the whole world!" She said.
Souei nodded "The Elder Ice Dragon is known to cause natural ice age when his first aura is fully awakened, through the recorded history, he has awakened 2 times, and both times the world witnessed a prolonged winter."
"And how did the ice age come to an end?" Acnologia asked.
"...Either Frosiris goes back to sleep or... Pyrolance awakens after him to balance the power." Irene answered. But seeing Acnologia's confused face, she sighed and added "The Fire Elder Dragon."
"Cool." Acnologia said.
"It's not cool!" Irene replied "If Frosiris and Pyrolance are awake at the same time, they will try to kill each other."
"Isn't that a good thing, two powerful creatures dead, and all the trouble they caused is gone." Acnologia said. He had the least interest in whatever the others were doing. The Elder Dragons can go they want to.
Irene sighed "This is why muscle heads." She said "You think if two Elder Dragons fought it will be an easy fight, the bastards will tear the fabric of reality apart, and if one dies, he power will cause an explosion that wipe half the world from existence."
"Then, that Gay demon, he doesn't know about this?"
"Of course he does..."
"Then why is he doing this?"
Irene put her hand on her forehead "I don't know, the least I can think of is that he has something to contaminate the after effect."
"Well if he has a way to do it, let him. I'll protect the city so no harm can reach us." Acnologia replied as he throw a fish to the Leviathan.
Irene was baffled 'He doesn't listen.' she thought.
"Your majesty, if an ice age hits the world, Tempest will suffer economically, we will have no tourists, no investors, our allies will die out, and...our agriculture will be dead."
"Alright, let's stop them!!" Acnologia said seriously as he turned around.
Irene couldn't help but stutter while trying to say something "T-thats what it took?!" She could never understand what goes through muscle heads like Acnologia.
In fact, Acnologia has no interest in magic, power, fight, or other people's problems...but food...his precious food can't be cut short. Not after he got a body to use it for.
The man has his priorities set straight.
....
On his way to the Heart of the ice Dragon. Guy Crimson and his company were having a hard time as the heat kept decreasing and their bodies started freezing in the middle of the storm.
"Damn it..." Guy took out a big sword, emitting a very powerful fire aura "I didn't want to use this now." The sword started pulsing as ice and snow started melting, and now they were warm, protected from the ice.
But Guy wasn't happy, to him, the need to just use the sword before he is near the ice Dragon meant that the Elder Dragon was way powerful than in the past.
*ROAAAR*
Hearing the screech of a dragon, they looked up to see the shadow of a dragon above them.
"It's the Elder Dragon!!" One of the demons shouted.
Guy frowned "No...It's his lieutenant..." The screech was very familiar to Guy, he heard it before "It's the FrostFang." He said.
*ROOARR*
With another roar, the ground started trembling and giants started raising from the ice. 4 giants, the size of a 2 story building surrounded the demons as they roared.
"Get ready!!" Guy shouted "Activate your necklace and aime for the blue jewel on their chest!!"
Every demon glowed with a red aura as they separated themselves to fight all 4 giants at the same time.
Guy using his fire sword quickly cut the giant legs, making him drop to the ground as he group fire a nuclear burst towards the weak point, destroying the jewel, before the jewel broke by a few mili-seconds, the giant's eyes glowed as he fired an ice blast at Guy.
'Tch! They got stronger too!' Guy used the sword as a shield as the blast pushed him a few inches. The giant then crumbled to snow as his core was destroyed.
The other demons struggled with the giant as they wouldn't just allow them to just destroy the jewel.
But with their numbers, and the use of the heat necklace, they managed to overcome the giant ice aura and weaken him enough to strike his core.
{Why did you come here?}
Suddenly, guy heard a voice beyond the storm.
{Did you come here to die? Or to sweat allegiance?}
"Frosiris..." Guy spoke "I thought you are asleep."
{My dear boy, I am never asleep. Only relaxing.}
My dear boy? Guy felt a bit offended "I saw the day of your birth, I am older than you."
{Weaker than me.}
The voice corrected.
{So, which one is it? Death or loyalty?}
"I have no reason to tell you." Guy spoke as his sword pulsed in anger, reacting to the voice.
{Your goal is admirable, your method is questionable, and your ambition is far too big for you, perhaps that may be the reason why you chose to be enemies with your greatest possible ally..} The voice said.
Guy frowned, it seemed like Frosiris has a hint about his goal, and he for sure didn't like the last part of his sentence.
"Anyone that has the title of an Elder Dragon is an enemy, you can never be an ally."
{Hm...a strong prejudice...I guess Astaroth awakening did a number on you. Poor demon.}
Hearing that cursed name, Guy's aura burst in anger.
{Our little conversation ends here. You are free to act, and we are free to retaliate. Let it be known, you started this.}
