Finally, the merchant returned for his custom order, with his daughter in the wagon.
They were inbound with a whole caravan, but came through the gates before the trade goods were checked, so they could do their business with the Darklight Host right away.
"Merchant, it’s good to see you again. Your order is complete and waiting." Davis greeted them.
He placed the boxed order on the counter, but the shape of a staff was hard to hide, even in a box.
"You ordered so much. I told you, Dad. We will get items from the monsters as we eliminate them, there is no need for you to go all out at the start."
The Overlord simply patted her head indulgently. "But I am told that this is the best of the best."
The girl rolled her eyes, clearly used to his indulgent behaviour. Then Rae came down and smiled at her.
"Oh, this is good, would you like to go to a private room to try everything on, then surprise your father?" She asked. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The other few customers in the shop looked relieved. The excited shouting of an overwhelmed teen succubus was hard on sensitive ears.
Rae didn’t wait for an answer as she grabbed the bundle and escorted the girl up the stairs.
Davis bowed to the girl’s father. "It is all custom-made Overlord Ranked equipment, and specifically tailored to the fashion sensibilities of a Succubus. I can assure you that not only will she be the best protected, but the most fashionable member of her team."
Fortunately for all of them, the rooms were mildly soundproofed, and the shouting and cheering was only faintly audible from downstairs.
There was no hiding the happy tears in her eyes when the girl came running down the stairs with a staff in her hands, and leaped up on her father to wrap him in a hug and plant kisses all over his face.
"Daddy, I love it. It’s beautiful, and so powerful."
The demon gently set her down to get a better look. The robes were fully covering, as he had hoped, but the odd collar at her neck, with the amber coloured heart gem, caught his attention.
"It’s an attack spell gem, and the necklace is a damage reduction item. The staff is also damage reduction focused. You see, many will interpret the use of a staff as preparation for combat. But in reality, all the offensive power is available without the staff, and the benefits of the weapon are entirely defensive, other than the Skill power and mana storage." Rae explained.
"Practical boots, durable gloves, it’s everything that I had hoped for. And in thick Overlord Ranked silk, it should be warm enough for cool evenings, as well as an extra layer of defence on its own." He noted.
Rae smiled. "I don’t expect an Earth Mage to take a lot of damage, as Earth Barriers are known for their durability to begin with. But it’s best to keep your Princess safe."
The succubus mage laughed and took down the hood of her mage robes, revealing a golden chain that ran between her horns and held a translucent silk cloth headscarf covering her hair.
"It’s fire-resistant, waterproof, and Overlord Ranked, so it won’t be easily cut. Not as good as a helmet, but it can easily be layered with a barrier spell without disturbing her hairstyle." Rae explained.
