Ep. 1200 The Peninsula Part 7

"Because my skills have improved since I made it, so I am going to update it. At the same time I plan to incorporate the robe into the set along with a new set of clothes. When I am done the robe will be able to shapeshift and so will the choker, meaning they can look like anything you want. I also plan to improve the concealment so they don't look like a high grade item anymore."

Lin says "Well, that doesn't sound too bad. Is that all you are going to do?"

"Yeah, for you, that's all."

Lin says "What else are you planning?"

"I want to make something of equivalent level for Myria so that the two of you are on even footing. Besides, I can't have anyone outshining my women."

Lin says "Okay, that's sweet. I will trust you."

Once Lin has handed over her items, I head back to the workshop and get to work. Adding the robe to the set is easy enough, but I run into a problem with the clothes. The current clothes are not at a high enough level to match with the rest of the items.

I actually don't have the kind of materials that I need to make a high enough capacity set of clothes. So, I head outside and go visit the elven crafters to see what they might have. Unfortunately, they also don't have any top grade fabric, which isn't too surprising.

The only one who might have some would be Yui, but I don't want to wait. When I return to the castle, I see the kids playing tag with Lizzy, but they are all shrunken. It is insanely cute and highly entertaining at the same time, Lin, Windy, and Bella are entranced.

With that as a distraction I doubt any of them will notice I am gone, so I head to the gate platform. Then I open a gate back to demon hunter city and head for Zachariah's building. When I walk in, I am immediately escorted up to his office where he is working on paperwork.

Zachariah says "Welcome back, Ash. I wasn't expecting to see you again so soon. What can I do for you?"

"I am making a set of clothes for Lin's coronation, but I need some extremely high quality fabrics. Got anything that could work?"

Zachariah says "Hm, I think I might. Let's head down to the vault."

"Oh, I never asked, but what happened with the group from the Magic Kingdom?"

Zachariah says "Oh, them. They showed up a few days after you left, they made all sorts of demands and caused a bunch of trouble. In the end, the council backed us and kicked them out of the city. After that they headed to the southern empire."

"Well, I'm sorry that they caused you trouble. What happened after that?"

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Zachariah says "They were stopped at the border, but they really didn't like that. They picked a fight with the border guards, but the empire seemed to have been expecting that. A full division of mages showed up and trounced them. Then they were warned that any further trouble they caused would be taken as an act of war. After that, they ran home with their tails between their legs."

"Haha! I would have loved to have seen their faces!"

Zachariah says "You and me both! Alright, here we are. These are the best materials we have in my branch. If these aren't good enough I would have to send a request to the main office."

"Oh, what's this?"

Zachariah says "That is spider silk from a demonic spider. It is really high grade, but unfortunately no one has figured out how to work with it. It is mainly in here because we couldn't decide what else to do with it."

"Well, I will take all of it. Also those two types of cloth and that leather. How much for all of it?"

Zachariah says "You have a good eye, those are the best we have. Hm, how about you trade me four sets of those shapeshifting clothes for them?"

"Haha, did Almort ask you for some?"

Zachariah says "He did more than that, he practically begged me to get him a set no matter the price!"

"So, you plan to cover the cost of the materials at Almort's expense? Sure, we can do that."

Zachariah says "Yes, I do, but don't worry, I won't charge him more than he can afford."

"That's between the two of you. Here you go, four sets."

Zachariah says "These are all dresses! Don't you have any sets for men?!"

"There is no difference, the clothes can shapeshift into anything. Just put your will into it and picture what you want it to be."

Zachariah tries it out and when it works he keeps changing it, he has a smile on his face as he does. Even once he has thoroughly tested it out, he continues playing with it. He is just like a kid with a new toy and it is highly entertaining.

"Ahem. Are you done playing with it yet?"

Zachariah says "Uh, I was just making sure that it worked."

"Sure, sure. Anyway, I need to be getting back before anyone misses me."

Zachariah says "Alright. I hope things are going well on your side. Try to come back when you have more time and tell us what has been going on."

"I will try once things have settled down."

Zachariah and I say our goodbyes and then I open up the gate in front of him. I don't need to worry about him learning the spell and the look on his face was priceless. However, when I step out of the gate I find an angry looking Lizzy waiting for me.

Lizzy says "Where did you go?!"

"I just popped over to demon hunter city for a minute to buy some materials. No big deal."

Lizzy says "Why didn't you take me with you? You are supposed to keep me with you at all times!"

"Well, at the time it looked like you were having fun with the kids. Besides, I said I would keep you with me, but I never said you could be with me at all times. You certainly won't be staying in my bedroom when I am together with Lin!"

Lizzy says "I know that! I don't want to see what you do with your mate! Other than that, you are not allowed to go out without me!"

"Listen, I know you are mad about being left behind, but you can't be with me all the time. When it is possible, I will take you with me, but there will be times that I can't. If you can't handle that, tell me now and I will figure out what I need to do to free you."

Lizzy says "I can't be freed! I am your mount, that is my only reason for living. Without that, I have no purpose!"

"That may have been true in the past, but you are a sacred beast now. You are more than you used to be. However, that will take time for you to figure out. In the meantime, I am fine with you staying as my mount, you just can't be with me at all times. Besides, you really wouldn't want to be."
