The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 434: Boys always grow up after a breakup
The stupid prince becomes the chuunibyou prince.

Will this kingdom turn into a militarist kingdom in the future? Will the retainers tear them apart when they see Prince Levi’s drastic change in style? What will they do when King Elrod returns and stops providing support in anger?
Darkness looked like she had a headache.

But her worries were completely unnecessary, because at the celebration banquet in the evening, Prince Levi's tough lines had disappeared and returned to his original appearance.

"Great."

"…I don't know why you're so nervous."

"Because if we're not careful, it could turn into a serious diplomatic incident! It would be better if you could be more self-aware, ok? Don't think that Prince Levi worships you and you can be fearless just like that!"

The noble daughters of the neighboring countries were very worried about this visit, but Zun Zun and his men seemed to not care at all, and even always did some shocking things.

Looking at Prince Levi, who was chatting and laughing with his retainers and nobles and seemed a little proud of his youth, Zun Zun smiled with satisfaction.

He had brought Prince Levi specifically to slay the dragon.

When a neighboring country came to visit to solve internal affairs and caused distrust of the royal family, he suddenly did something earth-shattering - he defeated the golden dragon that had been disturbing the peace of the kingdom, and Prince Levi, who had always been called the stupid prince.

I think it will help change the people's stereotype.

Prince Levi became a dragon-slaying hero, Zun Zun gained a capable internal affairs officer, and Alice received excess support funds. It was a win-win situation for all three parties.

Of course, Zun Zun did not blindly push Prince Levi to the top.

If he doesn't have the strength, it will only harm him.

But unexpectedly, Prince Levi is quite strong, worthy of being a royal family that often introduces powerful hero bloodlines to strengthen its own strength, just like Alice. Prince Levi's sudden change in style is the result of the blood of the hero from another world.

All Zun Zun did was to bring out his potential.

Even though there is no way to change Prince Levi in one fell swoop, as long as he remembers this feeling, he will one day become a powerful royal family.

Noticing Prince Levi's inquiring eyes, Zun Zun raised his glass and made the same toasting gesture as Leo. His encouraging eyes made the other's cheeks a little rosy. I don't know if it was because he was excited about being recognized, or because he drank a little.

The banquet went very happily.

Without troublemakers and threats, everyone gets along very harmoniously. The Kingdom of Elrod and the Kingdom of Belzeg will always be allies.

After the banquet, Prince Levi invited them to stay overnight.

Sato Kazuma and the others really didn't want to stay, fearing that the same thing as last night would happen again, so they kept making excuses. But Prince Levi had completely controlled them in just a few days, so in exchange for giving them more support money, they stayed for another night.

"...Why are you all in my room?"

Sato Kazuma is fine, but Darkness, Aqua, Megumin, and Yunyun all stayed in his room and refused to leave.

"Because I'm scared."

What are you afraid of? ... Zun Zun wanted to ask this, but the Shapeshifter used his face to do everything he could last night, so he couldn't say this.

And you perverted female knight over there, if you don’t dare to take out your collar, I won’t bring you around the castle at night!
I really wanted to kick them out, but then I remembered that what happened last night was all caused by me, so I was too embarrassed to speak up.

"Forget it, as long as you don't quarrel with me."

"Hearing what you said, aren't you going to sleep?"

"Yeah, I want to make magic tools."

Zun Zun took out a lot of props from the alien space, including dragon horns, dragon scales, dragon blood, dragon claws... and so on.

Dragons are extremely powerful creatures no matter which world they are in. In addition, the materials on their bodies are also very rare. Eating their meat can level up several levels, their blood can be used to make skill-point potions, and their horns and scales can be used to create the highest quality weapons and armor. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a treasure trove.

"Wait a minute, Zun Zun."

"Aqua?"

"I want to ask, when you were conquering the golden dragon, did you explore its treasure house? Because don't dragons like to collect treasures? Then--"

"I won't give you pocket money."

"Why!?"

In adventurer stories, defeating a dragon will bring fame and great wealth, and this is well known, so many people are keen on slaying dragons, but only a few can actually do it.

Zun Zun did get a lot of property, not only that, he also got the bounty given by Prince Levi.

It might be a small sum for him, but it was a huge sum of money for other adventurers, and Aqua naturally set her sights on him.

"I say, you are too shameless. You want pocket money even though you haven't done anything. You should change your mindset of getting something for nothing."

“Kazuma, you…! Oh, now I remember, Mr. Kazuma, you also won a lot of money in the casino…”

"ghost!"

Sato Kazuma pushed away the flattering Aqua, causing her to almost cry, but Darkness held her in her arms and comforted her softly.

"I say, Zun Zun, what are you doing?"

"Build equipment."

"to whom?"

"Prince Levi."

One of the benefits of giving back to fans.

After all, it would be unreasonable not to give something back after receiving so much personal sponsorship from the other party.

"Yeah."

Sato Kazuma nodded.

"By the way, have you thought about what equipment to make for Prince Levi?"

"Long sword and light armor."

This is the standard set for the royal family.

Like Alice, the Elrod royal family has also formed its own system, and Prince Levi is most suitable for long swords and light armor.

"Gear made from the horns and scales of a golden dragon... I'm really envious."

Sato Kazuma was a little envious.

"Don't worry, you have a share too." Zun Zun looked at all the team members and said, "Now that we have the dragon materials, it would be a waste if we don't make good use of them." It's time to strengthen the team.

Not to mention Aqua and Sato Kazuma, the importance of Darkness, Megumin and Yunyun is self-evident. In order to make future adventures easier, Zun Zun chose to put in some effort at this time.

Besides, these people are the best teammates who help me defeat the devil, so I have to give them this favor.

Hearing this, the team members were overjoyed and put forward their own requests one after another.

For example, Sato Kazuma wants a cooler light armor, Darkness doesn't want her current armor to become golden, Megumin hopes to increase the power of her magic wand, Yoyo wants the casting speed to increase, and Aqua doesn't care about performance as long as she looks good.

The requirements are all kinds of strange.

Zun Zun finally understood why his teammates looked like rookies even though their levels were so high. It was simply because these guys had too many personalities.

But he accepted it all.

For a skilled magic item master, the more difficult the requirements, the more motivated they are and the more they can prove their strength.

Early the next morning.

Zun Zun arrived at the royal city with slight dark circles under his eyes.

I'm leaving today. With his current strength, he won't be so exhausted from staying up all night, but he has to stay focused all the time, which is exhausting. Of course, the result is gratifying.

"Prince Levi, this is a farewell gift."

"this is……?"

Looking at the glazed sword and golden armor in front of him, Prince Levi was amazed.

"The main body of the sword is made of golden dragon, and it is combined with materials such as wind dragon and earth dragon. It is then condensed by the high temperature of the magic dragon. It is a magic sword that can release magic such as wind, earth, fire, and water according to the holder's thoughts."

Although it sounds good, it is actually just a show.

At least that's what Zun Zun thinks.

It was far inferior to the Demon Sword Grame and the Holy Sword Curry Stick, and there was nothing surprising about it, which made Zun Zun, who claimed to be a master of magic items, a little discouraged.

"As for the armor, it makes good use of the properties of gold. It has a high melting point, high density, good toughness and ductility, and good conductivity, so it can unleash its own skills very well."

Of course, it is still no match for Shengkai.

But unexpectedly, Prince Levi was very happy. He took the sword and armor tremblingly, and his excitement was beyond words.

That’s right, it is said that the gift may be small but the sentiment is great.

You know, some fans would be so happy even if they received body hair from their idols that they would forget themselves and even post it on their Moments to show off, which is shocking.

Zun Zun completely misunderstood.

The Lord who always comes face to face with divine weapons and sees their power naturally looks down on his own 'crudely made' magic tools.

However, as a magic item master, Zun Zun made very good magic items. Even if they did not reach the level of divine tools, it was undoubtedly a great gift to the Kingdom of Elrod.

Receiving a gift from his idol, a super expensive gift at that, Prince Levi was naturally so excited that he was speechless. It was only after his retainers kept calling him softly that he finally came to his senses. Then, at the suggestion of his retainers, Prince Levi put on the equipment.

“It’s strangely appropriate.”

He moved his shoulders, limbs and arms and legs and found that they were not awkward at all, and there was no feeling of heaviness or dullness from the armor.

"I effectively utilized the malleability of gold to make it more stable and lighter. It can also change its size based on the wearer's body shape. This is one of its small functions."

"Small function..."

Prince Levi was speechless.

Now he has abandoned his past arrogance. After being slightly trained, the prince looks quite wise and brave after wearing this armor. I don't know how much he will grow up to be in the future. I hope to hear his name one day.

Just as Zun Zun was about to leave, Prince Levi called them over. He handed over a gift box with both hands, and just by looking at its appearance, one could tell that it must be a very generous gift.

"Wait a minute. Actually, I have prepared a gift for you, Zun Zun. Thank you for helping me grow."

"I accepted it."

Zun Zun gladly accepted it.

When exchanging gifts, no matter how cheap or expensive the gift is, you must accept it sincerely, so that you can show respect to the other person.

After saying that they would definitely come back to play again, Zun Zun and the others boarded the dragon carriage for the return trip. Prince Levi kept waving his arms until the dragon carriage disappeared.

At this time, the retainers spoke one after another.

"Oops! I accidentally forgot that I should introduce my daughter to Zun Zun!"

"Ah! I forgot too. My sister is still waiting to be married!"

"Are you kidding me? Your sister is as fat as a ball. If you want to introduce someone, you should introduce my distant cousin!"

"According to what you said, then the cousin of my third aunt's sister's daughter is the most suitable candidate!"

For some reason, they suddenly started arguing.

Prince Levi couldn't help but ask, "Wait, wait a minute, why are you guys arguing?"

“As you can see, we want to introduce outstanding women from various families to Zun Zun.”

"……what?"

"Oh, Zun Zun is such an outstanding young man. If I could marry my daughter to him, she would be very happy."

"Eh?"

Hearing these words, Prince Levi was struck by lightning. He fell to his knees in frustration, still mumbling.

"Young talent... Zun Zun is a boy... a boy... hehe... a boy... it's impossible, it could be like this... hehe..."

"Prince Levi...?"

Seeing his violent reaction, the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.
