The Max Level Hero Has Returned!

Davey, who quickly turned around, held his breath at Perserque’s unexpected response. He said, “I-It shouldn’t turn out like this.”

Reina’s hair had changed color, becoming completely white. However, it did not make her look old at all. The wings on her back were also spread out as if she was going to fly out at any time.

—It shouldn’t?

“She still can’t wake up right now.”

After looking at Reina for a while, Davey turned to Rinne and said, “Rinne, the bar.”

“Rinne does not understand. However, Rinne will carry out the orders.”

Although she did not understand his intentions, Rinne still created a bar and held it out to Davey.

—Davey?!

Since Reina should not wake up yet, Davey moved to stop her in the scenario that she was waking up right now.

“Ugh… Urghhh… No, no more,” Reina mumbled under her breath.

“Phew. I almost ruined everything,” Davey said as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

When he threw the bar back to Rinne, both Perserque and Rinne looked at Davey in doubt.

“Davey, Rinne asks why you suddenly attacked her?”

—That’s right. I thought you were about to break Reina down.

“She can’t wake up right away. We’ll be in big trouble if she wakes up without undergoing the necessary adjustment period.”

The biggest problem of Reina’s existence right now was the rules of this world, which could eliminate her entire being. No matter how great the power of the Abyss was, allowing it to ignore the rules of this world, it could not afford to completely ignore the greatest rule of this world.

Basically, what Davey had done with Reina was nothing more than cheating in this world. After all, this body was not the Reina that they had set out to eliminate.

However, if Reina awakened without adjusting to the body and adapting to it, then the rules of this world would notice and everything would be instantly destroyed.

“I’d rather destroy the body and rebuild it again than allow that to happen.”

—Are you a psychopath?

“The plan is a bit extreme, but I wouldn’t be able to save her without doing that in an urgent scenario.”

Thud!

Davey then put a strange device that looked like an oxygen mask over Reina’s mouth as he pushed her back into the tube that she had been in earlier on. Then, he placed his hands together and…he prayed. Well, he did not really pay attention to the prayer itself, but his mindset was quite reverent and pious.

[Abracadabra.]

[7th Level Holy Magic]

[Sanctuary]

After Davey turned the entire area into a sanctuary to stabilize her body, Reina no longer tossed and turned. She fell asleep with a calm expression on her face, finally stabilizing herself inside the divine area.

—Then, when will she wake up?

“She’ll wake up soon, but not immediately after the procedure. It would take a few days at the shortest and a month at the longest.”

—So, you settled a huge problem there.

“Well, we don’t know what’s going to happen yet, so we still have to wait and see. You don’t have to mind it for now.”

—Your feelings are more than enough.

Once Reina’s soul successfully settled in her body, then it would be time to use the rest of the sealing stone.

Perserque might be thinking that Davey was leaving enough of the sealing stone for the vampires to create her body, and she did have a point. That was one of the reasons why Davey could not destroy the body so recklessly.

The vampires were probably thinking the same. After all, the moment Perserque entered the body that they were making for her, then she would be resurrected as Demon Lord Perserque.

No matter who or what Perserque was, an enemy would naturally be born to fight against her.

Right now, Davey was trying to avoid the flow of fate where he would become Perserque’s enemy. However, if that did not work and she was reborn as the Demon Lord, then Davey would have no choice but to become her enemy. However, since Reina’s condition was much better than expected, then Davey could conclude that they were still in a good situation.

“We’re almost done,” Aeonitia said to Davey as she offered the small box that she had brought along.

Davey, who had returned to his office, stopped what he was doing. He opened the box to see that it contained a watch that could be perfectly worn on a person’s wrist. He said, “Let’s see.”

The watch that Aeonitia had handed over was a masterpiece created by combining her ideas and the dwarves’ technology. If anyone were to ask Davey if it was a great item, he would absolutely say yes.

Although it was not high-quality, the watch that they had produced could be easily used by anyone from anywhere. The best inventions were not those that were too great for anyone to use or touch them. The best ones were those that were convenient and easy to use, just like Aeonitia’s watch.

“However, there is a problem.”

With a crestfallen expression, the girl said hesitantly, “What is…the problem?”

Then, Davey showed the lumps of metal that he had created to her.

“What are those? This is the first time that I have seen something like this…”

“It’s called a Mana Circulation Stone. However, unlike mana stones, you can’t charge this with a large flow of power.”

“Ah…”

“As long as it’s still within its period of durability and there’s mana around, it can maintain a small amount of power within it.”

“Don’t tell me…”

“Of course, this lump of metal is not really that durable, so it would be scrapped after a few months of use.”

Aeonitia’s eyes grew wide at Davey’s words. She said, “I’ve… I’ve never heard of such a material anywhere!”

“That’s right. How would others know of it when I’ve made the stone myself?”

Curiosity grew in Aeonitia’s eyes as she asked, “You made it yourself? Without any warning? In such a short amount of time?”

“Do I have to inform you whenever I plan to make something? Is this not enough?”

“It’s enough! I really love you, Brother!”

“Right. It’s nothing for you to express your love over.”

“Heup!”

Aeonitia had blurted out those words without registering them because she was feeling very happy. Upon realizing exactly what she had said, she freaked out and began stepping back.

“Th-That… I was just talking nonsense… I’m sorry…” Aeonitia immediately shouted.

She was afraid that Davey would grow angry at her at any given moment.

—So cute.

Perserque said, smiling softly at Aeonitia. She looked like she wanted to hug the little girl.

Looking at Perserque, Davey took that as his cue to send the girl out. He told Aeonitia, “Well then, that’s all I will help you with. You can do the rest yourself, right? It’s your job to exchange and coordinate your opinions with the technicians and engineers. I’m waiting for your good results.”

“Yes!” Aeonitia answered right away, not wanting to miss a single beat.

After the girl ran away, Davey began to look at the contracts that he had placed in his drawer earlier on. He smacked his lips and said, “Now, it’s time to rake in the money from that hard work.”

The document contained an exclusive contract with one of the merchant groups. The wrist watch that Aeonitia had made was a small watch that could tell the time by turning the hour, minute, and second hand with the power of the Mana Circulation Battery that Davey had made.

In this world, the common ways to tell the time was either through the position of the sun, the giant clock towers, or through a magical tool. Most of them did not have the technology to create this small, cheap, and convenient small watch. Also, most people saw no need to make something like that.

However, this item targeted ordinary people. Anyone would have easy access to this watch, which would naturally create a diverse customer base. Davey could expect commoners, mercenaries, merchants, and even knights, who could not afford to spend too much money on things, to be their customer base for this item.

“The more they gobble up the kickbacks, the better it would taste.”

‘Work hard, so we can get an exclusive contract.’

Aeonitia would be the one working hard while Davey would be the one raking in the money.

Rinne and Perserque, who were both watching Davey silently, frowned at Davey’s vicious and evil smile.

“Aeonitia, what do you think is the most important thing when making a new product?”

Aeonitia, who was carefully holding a small box in her arms, looked up at Davey and said, “The… The most important? Uhmm, being completed?”

“Wrong.”

“Then, taking into consideration the people who will use the product…?”

“What are you saying? Are you a philanthropist?”

“Th-Then, reflecting on the product’s problems…?”

“Wrong,” Davey said, bringing his sister to walk the streets of the territory.

Aeonitia turned silent after hearing that all of her earlier answers were wrong. All she could do was look at Davey in doubt as she wondered what the right answer was.

“The most important thing is…licking it with your saliva so the others will not dare to eat it.”

Simply put, they had to get the copyright of the item and gain monopoly in the market.

‘Wasn’t there a similar system on modern Earth? It was the patent system, right?’

“We have to get a patent on the product that you’ve made, and we can get that done at the schools of alchemy. It just so happens that Heins Territory is home to one of the schools of alchemy’s largest branches here. Let’s go there.”

Aeonitia turned stiff. She said, “For some reason…this feels a bit too worldly.”

“That’s something that a little brat would say.”

“I have also received education as a member of the royal family,” the girl complained as if she didn’t like being ignored.

However, Davey simply did not answer Aeonitia at all.

“Goodness! Welcome, welcome!” The Vercil School of Alchemy’s branch manager rushed out to welcome Davey, who had suddenly popped in for a visit.

Whether it was a mage tower, a school of alchemy, or a merchant group, Davey would always be their VVIP customer. It was only the natural result, since Davey always personally visited such places.

“Nice to meet you. This is the first time that we have met in person.”

“Oh my! I got a call that you’ll be coming, so I’ve prepared everything! Well, then! Please come this way! I will make sure that this visit doesn’t disappoint you!”

Seeing the branch manager rushing in to welcome them, Davey said to Aeonitia, “Do you see that? This is the position of Party A. From now on, you have to learn how to act like Party A.”

“That… Is it important for me to learn? Even though I’ll become an alchemist and an engineer?”

“Have you forgotten what goes into your research and product development?”

“Money…”

“That’s right. You’re quite brilliant, huh?”

—It’s good that you’re teaching the child some things, but…

Perserque, who clicked her tongue at Davey’s behavior, was not yet aware that Davey’s position would only rise as long as he could maintain an appropriate level of abusing his power.

The branch manager of Vercil School of Academy had taken on a lower status when greeting Davey. With how he acted so differently, he was treating Davey like the division commander visiting the unit.

“Haha. Forgive me for my lack of preparation.”

The branch manager might have said those words, but it was clear from the high-end drawing room, the expensive tea being served, and the tense expressions of the employees working in the school of alchemy that they had been preparing immensely for this. Davey was sure that all of these things had been meticulously prepared and nitpicked before his visit.

“Haha. I’m ashamed to show you this shabby place.”

“No, this is more than enough. In fact, I think you’re showing too much hospitality here.”

“Hahaha! Anything for you! But for you to personally visit us… If you need anything from us, you should have just called us. I will come and visit you instead!”

“Nothing good will come from standing out too much.”

“Hmm.”

A very complicated look flashed across the branch manager’s eyes.

Davey just nodded at the branch manager before pushing Aeonitia forward. Soon after, the girl brought out the small box that she had been holding onto carefully.

The branch manager’s eyes widened as he assessed the item to find out what it was for. After all, schools of alchemy were also places that dealt with business.
