Strengthening for others is not free.
Shinji is not stupid, nor is he a pushover. For old friends who have known each other for many years, just give gifts. There is no need to care about how much you take from me and how much I get from you. Such people are not true friends.
But Shinji naturally couldn't be so generous to outsiders who were not his friends. Although he really wanted to consume the True Red Fruit here in front of everyone so that he wouldn't be remembered all day, he wouldn't be a sucker if there was no suitable price. At worst, he could let Lorelaia guarantee it and go back to the clock tower to auction it publicly. There would be many people who wanted to buy it.
With myself, Loreleija and Elquet personally escorting them, there is really nothing to be afraid of unless the burial organs come out in full force, or a group of old monsters who are about the same age as the old man with the gem join forces.
Of course, the probability of this happening is infinitely close to zero. The people present are not stupid, and those who can get on the Magic Eye Collection Train are not short of money. How can they miss such a good opportunity? Especially the guests who did not bid for the items.
At that time, someone urged Shinji to hold another auction, and Reydo was willing to be the auctioneer again as a farewell to the train.
However, Shinji refused, saying that he was tired from fighting so many battles and didn't want to waste time, but in fact, he had already made a list in his mind. This kind of treasure that has a significant effect on people must be handled with caution. Even if you want to sell it, you have to sell it to the right person. You can't sell it today and then the buyer will use it against you tomorrow.
The first one is undoubtedly Lorelaia, who is also an old friend of Shinji and the one he has decided to cling to for life. If he doesn't think of her when there is something good, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely be angry. Of course, he still bargained on the surface to avoid arousing suspicion and causing trouble.
Next, Colles and Fiore. This is a purely psychological issue. They are obviously not the same as they are in this world, but Shinji wants to do something for them to make up for the friendship in his heart, just like teaching Sakura in the parallel world the "Female Self-Defense Technique". It must be said that sometimes people are really very emotional animals.
Similar to Lorelaia's operation, Weber came forward to ask for the quota for two students, and the price was a favor - the other student here was Grey, who was an inner disciple and had a closer relationship than other students, so there was no reason to favor one over the other. The reason why it was a favor instead of two favors was because Grey's body had undergone various adjustments and enhancements, and there was little room for enhancement.
Given the relationship between Fiore and Corles, he would definitely give the quota to his sister. His own qualifications were limited, and his sister was alone outside, so she needed this strength much more than he did. Similarly, Fiore would also be humble, and wait until the drama of the deep affection between the siblings reached a certain level, and then Waver would take over - well, there was no need for Waver, Luvia had already stepped forward to pay Fiore's remuneration, and at the same time asked for a quota for herself.
It seems that the relationship between Luvia and Fiore in this world is not ordinary. Could it be yuri? Seeing the intimacy between the two girls, Shinji speculated maliciously.
Wait a minute, Fiore looked at me with a strange look in her eyes. Was she attracted by my handsome looks, muscular body, and strong strength? Okay, just kidding. Fiore is not that crazy.
It was good for Luvia to come forward to avoid trouble for Weber. She had been practicing wrestling since she was a child and was very suitable for physical strengthening. To be honest, she was the most suitable among all the people, just like Lorelea.
The next spot belongs to Olga Marie, and the condition is an investigation into a certain agency set up by his father. Although this world is not a world line where human principles are burned, Shinji must eliminate all hidden dangers. He doesn't want to live well one day, and suddenly humanity is doomed. God knows whether there is still Dr. Roman in this world, and whether there is Ritsuka Fujimaru.
At this point, the fruit had completely shriveled up, leaving only the last bit of vitality and the empty shell that had been sucked dry. Although it was said to be the accumulation of eight hundred years, it was actually not very durable - well, that's not all. Another part of the essence was secretly hidden by Elquet during the strengthening process.
No need to guess, it was Shinji's idea, how could good things be missing from the family? Although none of the family members were as poor as Waver, it was not a bad thing to be able to strengthen the body and prolong life.
Finally, the True Red Fruit, which was squeezed to the limit, was split into two. The peel was given to Rita Rojian as a collection, and the pulp was taken by Melvin. Although the vitality had been exhausted, its essence as blood essence had not changed. It was the best material for making blood tonics, and no one needed it more than Melvin.
When Melvin carefully put away the fruit, the incident of Fuhailin Anashu was officially declared over, and the incident of the Magic Eye Collection Train was also nearing its end. As long as the criminal was arrested and brought back to the Law and Politics Department for trial, the incident would be successfully concluded.
At this moment, the waves rose again and the thunder came again.
The servants who were weakened by the "Frozen Throne" regained their strength due to the disappearance of the throne, and summoned their treasures again, and once they appeared, they ran around the field at full speed. At this time, everyone had moved from the car to the open space outside the car, because the previous operation of the Elquitra car was too brutal, and no one was willing to stay in the car for the time being.
Therefore, the Shadow Warrior's Noble Phantasm "Magic Wheel" has enough space to run. But it is not without benefits. At least there is no need to worry about the collection of "Ten Thousand Demon Eyeballs" being damaged. These are all Shinji's family assets. Losing one is painful. The cheapest ones are several million US dollars, and they are not replicable.
"Hatres!"
Loreleija's expression darkened and she shouted sternly.
"—Do you still want to fight back?"
"Please don't say that, Your Majesty."
The chariot stopped in front of the red-haired man and the shadow warrior. The two walked onto the chariot together. The red-haired man bowed slightly and showed a tepid smile. Regardless of his position, this was a man that was hard to dislike from the bottom of his heart.
"If it was before Anashu showed up, I certainly wouldn't have dared to resist. But now, the restrictions of 'Dayuan' have not been completely lifted, and it's difficult for you to replenish your magic power. I think I still have hope."
Loreleija snorted coldly and made a gesture to Shinji that only the two of them could understand.
Shinji understood and raised his finger.
The next second, a row of rafters shot out from the ground and pierced directly into the wheels of the chariot.
The shadow warrior was prepared for this, and he smashed the rafters with lightning as soon as they appeared, and at the same time swung the reins, ordering the bone dragon towing the vehicle to take off.
Hatteras sat next to the Shadow Warrior, his attitude much more relaxed than Waver had been back then.
"Want to have an aerial race? If I get caught again, I'll surrender."
PS: Please stay calm when you see this, everything is still under Erye’s control, probably.
