Chapter 794: Fame Spreads, But Negatively

"Since the resurrection magic has already succeeded, why does Mr. Broly still need to come invite me to be a technical consultant?"

Amide, having recovered her wits, quickly thought of this question and looked at the Saiyan boy with some puzzlement.

"Because the resurrection magic I possess has certain requirements for the subject to be revived, among which the hard requirement is the integrity of the remains of the subject to be revived.

If they are not intact, then after being revived, they will also quickly fall into a state of death again due to local necrosis appearing in the incomplete parts."

Broly explained in one sentence.

"So, Mr. Broly, your side actually needs me to provide prosthetics for repairing remains?"

Amide asked.

"No, Miss Amide, the prosthetics you currently make cannot satisfy the needs on my end. What I truly need you to do is, according to the needs of the resurrection magic, go improve the prosthetic technology used for repairing remains."

Broly emphasized heavily that the prosthetic technology needed improvement.

"Alright, I think I can handle this technical consultant job. However, before agreeing to your invitation, I hope that regarding the remuneration, I can have a friendly negotiation with Mr. Broly."

The Battlefield Saintess expressed her own inclination, preparing to agree to the invitation.

"Is one hundred million valis too little? Then I can raise it to two hundred million valis."

Broly thought the other party disliked the low pay and said so directly.

"No, one hundred million valis is not little."

Amide hurriedly waved her hand, but still couldn't help but complain in one sentence.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Broly, do you always raise people's asking price like this?"

"Is there a problem with this?"

"Shouldn't it be raising the price bit by bit, and slowly haggling with me, just like doing business?"

"I'm not here to do business, and I don't lack this bit of money."

"My previous impression of magnanimous people stopped at my family's Main God looking like a nouveau riche, but now it seems true magnanimity should be like you, Mr. Broly. A price hike of one hundred million valis, you say it just like it's one or two million valis."

"That is indeed about the same. The difference between earning one hundred million valis and earning one or two million valis, to me, is nothing more than diving into the dungeon a bit deeper, killing a slightly larger number of monsters."

Broly nodded in agreement with her words.

Amide: "..."

She had just casually praised the other party, but the other party's response left her somewhat unsure what to say.

She really ran into a big shot who doesn't lack money.

"Actually, I don't lack one or two hundred million valis in remuneration either."

Fortunately, she doesn't lack money either.

"One or two hundred million valis to me is just curing a few more severely injured patients and collecting their treatment fees."

"Then I don't know what Miss Amide wants?"

"Resurrection magic."

Compared to the remuneration of one or two hundred million valis, what truly attracted Amide was instead the resurrection magic the other party possessed.

As Orario's top-tier healer, Amide had also encountered situations where the injured were too severely wounded and she was powerless to save them. But if she had had resurrection magic back then, perhaps the situation of being unable to save the injured would not have occurred.

"Of course, I know this request of mine..."

The rest — "is a bit excessive" — Amide had not yet spoken aloud.

"No problem."

She heard the boy's voice directly agreeing.

"Ah?"

The Battlefield Saintess's mouth gaped open. She had even prepared to add ten or twenty billion valis herself, to pay out of pocket to work and learn resurrection magic. She completely didn't expect the other party to just directly agree.

"Uh, do you have any other requests?"

"No, there aren't any. On the contrary, Mr. Broly, are you really willing to teach me resurrection magic?"

"Wasn't this a request you raised?"

"But isn't this an extremely precious magic?"

"Uh, actually, resurrection magic counts as a somewhat chicken-rib magic."

"Eh?"

Broly looked at the somewhat puzzled Amide and still decided to lay it out for the other party: "The magic power consumption of resurrection magic is extremely huge. Without taking top-grade magic power recovery potions, general people simply cannot use this magic at all. And the longer the resurrection target has been dead, the more terrifying the magic power required..."

"Mm, magic that defies natural law and achieves miracles — it's only normal for it to have huge magic power consumption."

Amide nodded. For the condition of huge magic power consumption, she seemed completely able to accept it.

"The huge magic power consumption of resurrection magic isn't the main problem. The main problem is, if the person using resurrection magic doesn't have good enough luck, they might exhaust all the magic power in their body and still fail to revive the person."

"Huh?!"

"That's right. This is also a magic that depends somewhat on luck. If a person's luck isn't good enough, even the mage who created the resurrection magic themselves has no way to successfully use the resurrection magic."

Broly directly cited Fels as an example to explain. After hearing it, Amide on the other side fell into silence.

"So, Miss Amide, do you still want resurrection magic as the remuneration?"

Seeing her silent, Broly asked directly.

"If you want to switch to something else, you can switch now. Whether it's adding money, or wanting some rare monster materials, these conditions, I can all agree to you."

Broly was very considerate, letting the person before him raise the request again.

"No need. I'll just take resurrection magic."

Amide thought for a bit and still insisted on her own idea.

"Alright then. Since you still insist even knowing such harsh usage conditions."

Broly nodded and didn't continue to say anything more.

"Speaking of which, harsh usage conditions like these, Mr. Broly, shouldn't you have kept them hidden from me?"

Amide glanced at him, then suddenly asked.

"Uh, why would I hide it from you?"

"Aren't you afraid that once I learn the harsh conditions for using Resurrection Magic, I'll directly refuse your invitation?"

"I hadn't thought about that, but I feel that in this kind of matter, I should be more candid with you, Miss Amide, as a partner."

Broly scratched his head, and simply spoke his true inner thoughts.

"Mr. Broly, you really are completely different from the rumors circulating in the outside world."

Amide was stunned for a moment, then laughed lightly and said a sentence.

"Outside world rumors?"

Broly was just about to ask about this matter when the sound of knocking — dong dong dong — rang out.

"Miss Amide, a new adventurer's sternum was shattered by a monster; do you need to go take a look...?"

The visitor was a female nurse, come to inform Amide that a severely injured person needed her to go treat them.

"Mr. Broly, I have business now, so please excuse me from continuing to entertain you."

Amide hurriedly stood up, yet offered him an apology.

"It's fine, you have proper business so go do it; anyway I've already achieved my purpose in coming over here."

The other party had work; Broly naturally couldn't continue to disturb her.

After agreeing with Amide to start as Technical Consultant tomorrow, Broly left the Deiankete Familia.

However, on the way to the Freya Familia, Broly was somewhat puzzled about what his current rumors in Orario actually were.

"Forget it, I'll go find Bell in the evening..."

Broly's muttering wasn't finished yet; just as he turned a street corner, he saw a white-haired boy and a black-haired straight-haired kimono girl walking toward him.

"Eh, Broly-san, you're back from the Dungeon side?!"

Bell's complexion showed some surprise upon seeing Broly.

Since there was no dinner party this time, Broly hadn't notified this little brother of his about his return.

"Hmm, Bell, and Meido-san, what are you two doing?"

Broly looked at the boxes the two were carrying, and couldn't help but ask.

"This is medicine to relieve Divine Wine addiction. Miss Lili didn't go into the Dungeon with you, Broly-san? Three days after she left, the Soma Familia side had some drunkards getting restless. Mr. Chandra was worried someone might covet this batch of medicine, said they needed someone to go help suppress the scene, so..."

Bell was helping suppress the Soma Familia scene, and Yamato Meido, learning of the boy's situation, proactively came to help together.

"Alright, looks like the Soma Familia side has some people who need to quit drinking for a while again."

Broly nodded, then asked Bell about his new nickname.

"Broly-san, the situation is like this..."

Originally, after he led a team into the Dungeon to fight monsters, Orario started having some inside-story rumors about him and the Ishtar Familia's War Game.

In one rumor, he coveted the fox-girl, wanted to redeem her but failed, so in embarrassed rage he secretly engineered the War Game with the Ishtar Familia, the purpose being to forcibly seize the fox-woman.

A man, for a pretty fox-girl, wantonly launching a war — what can you all associate with that?

No matter what you associate, anyway, a portion of people in Orario associated it with some historical stories that also once happened in this world.

For example, because of a peerless beauty, randomly launching a national war, ultimately leading to their own country's destruction — the monarch role.

And such a role, people usually call a 【Lust-Blinded Foolish Ruler】; only, Broly was strong enough to win the War Game with the Ishtar Familia with an overwhelming advantage, so the 【Foolish Ruler】 title wasn't too suitable, and it became the so-called 【Tyrant】.

"Hmm, I already knew the Tyrant nickname, but what does the prefix 【Extreme Desire】 mean?"

"Mr. Broly, Orario has the habit of giving the victor a nickname based on the defeated opponent.

For example, if an adventurer always fights Goblins, they might get the Goblin Slayer nickname.

If they switch to fighting Goliaths, they might become Giant Slayer.

In the War Game, you sent the goddess Ishtar back to Heaven, and her nickname in the Lower World was Lust Queen, Extreme Desire Queen.

You defeated her, so..."

"So I inherited her Extreme Desire title?"

"I'm sorry, Broly-san..."

"Eh, Bell, why are you suddenly apologizing to me?"

"Because the Extreme Desire Tyrant nickname wasn't widespread at first, but due to my unauthorized intervention, I ruined your reputation, Broly-san."

"Hmm?"

Broly looked at him in puzzlement, and Yamato Meido explained for Bell from the side.

Originally, nicknames extended from speculative inside stories like Extreme Desire Tyrant weren't very famous at first, and couldn't be accepted by everyone.

Some said he launched the War Game with the Ishtar Familia because he coveted the fox-girl; others defended him, saying he launched it for the sake of his injured familia comrades who wanted to do S and M but couldn't.

"Just a few days ago, in a restaurant, Bell heard a table of adventurers discussing this; one guy was swearing up and down that you're just a guy who thinks with his dick, Bell couldn't stomach it and argued with him..."

The War Game had already ended; Bell originally wanted to tell everyone the truth about saving the sacrificial fox-girl, and incidentally clear his own S and M stigma.

Result: his appearance as the War Game's fuse and a party involved, giving a firsthand account, instead attracted others' doubts.

"You say your Captain launched the War Game by posing as a customer to pick a fight in order to save a fox-girl about to be sacrificed by the Ishtar Familia — then tell me, why would the Ishtar Familia sacrifice their own familia member?"

"That's because..."

Bell wanted to answer, but discovered he simply couldn't answer this question; the fox-girl's Mjolnir Magic is classified and can't be told.

The Ishtar Familia's intention to deal with the Freya Familia likewise hasn't happened yet; saying it would probably make no one believe it.

Unable to answer, Bell's firsthand account as a party involved made the inside story that spawned the Extreme Desire Tyrant nickname successfully break out of its circle in Orario.

"Most people think this is the truth behind your War Game with the Ishtar Familia, treating you as a Tyrant figure who, coveting another familia's girl, must get her at all costs, extremely following his own desires...

And in the rumors, even the Loki Familia suffered heavily, forced by your lewd might to hand over three of their own familia girls including the Sword Princess, to serve your debauchery..."

Broly: "..."

He suddenly understood why the people of the Deiankete Familia this morning had looked at him with three parts hostility, seven parts wariness, and thirteen parts fear.

And originally, the Loki Familia should have come out to explain, but Broly's Wing Skill was likewise classified, likewise impossible to speak of.

Thus, the Loki Familia side gave this matter the cold shoulder, merely Loki stepping out to publicly deny those absurd claims of supplying debauchery, merely claiming this was the Familia children's free love choice, that she would not interfere.

And without knowing of the Wing Skill, such a statement was naturally believed by no one, which led to the rumors of the Tyrant of Extreme Desire growing ever more intense.

Especially now, the Kali Familia, having taken over Pleasure Street and directly opening a Free Ride Colosseum there, its Dun Country Amazoness Warriors members, in the Free Ride Colosseum facing adventurer johns attempting to dine-and-dash on Pleasure Street and thus coming to participate in battle, still often say this one sentence:

"What kind of men are you softies? Real men should be the Tyrant of Extreme Desire-sama. To this day I can still remember that afternoon at the Harbor Melen Abandoned Warehouse, when that lord knocked down all our Familia's female warriors. Ah, even though we went all out, we still couldn't make that lord enjoy himself to the fullest..."

"So, Mr. Broly, the prefix of your nickname, Extreme Desire, also carries the meaning of referring to being extremely formidable in that aspect."

Speaking to this, Yamato Matt's face also reddened somewhat. She carefully asked one sentence: "Mr. Broly, did you really knock down that many Amazoness warriors who defeated male adventurers of the Kali Familia, all in one afternoon?"

"I did knock them down, but that means defeat, using fists to knock them all down!"

"Uh, so that's how it is?"

"Otherwise?"

"I thought you used that kind of... hmm, special move you used in the War Game against the Ishtar Familia.

Former Ishtar Familia members later also testified, saying your moves rivaled the Goddess Ishtar's Charm Technique."

Broly: "..."

Good. In this there's also his choice to show mercy, using Extreme Bliss Finger on the Ishtar Familia people. And that kind of special move that makes one unable to help but concede — who dares say he isn't the Tyrant of Extreme Desire?

At this point, Broly's reputation counts as thoroughly ruined.

The only good news, that's probably that his little brother Bell has cleared the stigma of S and M.

Taking the black pot for him as this Familia big brother, the title of Team Light has been consolidated, simply shining bright!

"Forget it. Reputation, that kind of thing, isn't very important to me either."

"Ah, Broly-san, then what if in the future you encounter someone you still want to have a rendezvous with? What to do then?"

"Hmm, at that time, I'll properly explain then."

Broly shrugged, then stepped forward and patted the white-haired youth's shoulder.

"Bell, you don't need to take this matter to heart.

I still have business, so I won't disturb you two working."

Bidding farewell to the two on the street, Broly continued hurrying toward the Freya Familia's base.
