Evan D. Sherden. Opening a Hot Spring (3)
The Brotherhood Bathhouse was completed. From a distance, it seemed like a luxurious facility that almost looked like a huge mansion, and the initials of the Brotherhood Bathhouse were slightly unbalanced, but Evan was personally very satisfied.
Elisha, please take your position at the counter. Maybell would be pleased to operate the rest.
Oh, if she takes care of the Brotherhood Bathhouse here, you will have fewer chances of seeing her face
Please leave the facility management to me, Master Evan!
Maybell also took over the representation of the Brotherhood Bathhouse. In addition to that, a couple of male and female servants were selected and entrusted to the management, and several local residents were hired too.
It had not been opened to the public yet. Selected people did the inauguration along with the Marquiss family. The Bathhouse had been divided into the mens bath and the womens bath, so Bellois would not be able to enter the bath with Evan even this time.
It looks really magnificent, Evan. The design is very sophisticated.
Thank you, father.
Evan proudly responded to the Marquis as he looked inside the changing rooms, admiring them. Evan had designed the interior of the Brotherhood Bathhouse.
If Steamas hot springs gave off Japanese ambiance as a whole, then the Brotherhood Bathhouse felt like it had been designed in resemblance to Korean hot springs.
Young Master, what is this?!
Evans escort knight Dain was standing near a machine, which had been installed by one wall of the dressing room. He approached the rectangular box with translucent light inside, tapped it, and exclaimed.
The occasional sparkle of the machine looked very mysterious. Evan approached him, took a position in front of the machine, and said, Ah, this is a vending machine. If you put money in it, you can enjoy different drinks that are available.
This provides us with drinks!?
Okay, listen. If you put some silver coins here There was a gold slot on the machines right side, and Evan put a silver coin from his pocket in it.
Various buttons on the front of the machine lit up. Each of the large buttons was painted with symbols of various drinks such as white milk, strawberry milk, chocolate milk, and coffee milk.
If you press the button corresponding to the drink you want to have, like this, then the drink you chose comes out from below.
When Evan pushed the button, there was a rattling sound, and a bottle of milk, sealed at the top, fell lightly in the box-spaced shape at the bottom. Evan picked up the icy bottle of milk.
Oh, oh ! Cold milk came out!
You can drink it after opening the lid.
Oh wow! Its sweet strawberry milk!
Isnt it delicious? It would taste even sweeter after taking a bath.
Oh!
Evan, who couldnt have ever given up a cup of milk right after taking a bath even if he gave up everything else he enjoyed in Korea, realized he could install a vending machine after some brainstorming with Bernard!
It had been made with a box-type magic tool with space expansion magic along with semi-permanent refrigeration magic. Two vending machines had been created. One would be put in the male, and one would be placed in the female changing room!
Although they had set a high price of one silver coin for a milk bottle, Evan couldnt guess how long it would take to recover the actual cost. He didnt care about that, though. About the vending machines alone, Evan had no regrets!
You do know how much I had to struggle to make them, little boy. If the beer which I drink when I get out of the bath isnt worth it, then you better pray for your life.
Well, Grandpa Bernard, youll thank me later. Evan grinned and replied.
And, a cold beer with me after taking a bath. Wow, Im looking forward to that too.
Wow, its so big and wide! I want to swim too!
While the rest of the party was still gaping at the vending machine, Shine took off his clothes, went through the dressing room to the large bath, and then stopped talking on the transcendental scale.
Its overwhelming size, which seemed to fit hundreds of people at once, was far beyond the Korean style bathhouse!
The hot water is still pouring out. It really looks like the Steamas hot springs.
Its not just that, father. Look at the water.
Huh, is this all magic?
You could say that. Grandpa Bernard and I worked very hard.
Well, I didnt have to do much. This is just a fraction of my alchemy skills.
The undiluted hot spring water was being extracted from the stone slab, which contained the hot springs power. Two pipes were connected to it, which went separately in the mens and womens baths. The bath itself was humongous. Bubbles were added to amplify the effect of the hot spring water while also containing the purifying function.
The undiluted solution made by crushing and mixing up medicinal herbs that were good for the body was periodically dissolved in the bath. The waters healing properties were once again amplified.
The sweet scent of the bath fascinated them all.
Huh Thats amazing, Sir Garcia.
Hey, Im just an old man who mixes some herbs. Please stop with the unrequired title.
If everyone is ready, then lets go in!
All of you first wash yourselves and then enter the bath, please.
After grabbing Shine, who was being extra noisy and washing him from head to toe, Evan went into the bath with the rest of the group.
Oh, the tremendous pleasure Evan felt at that moment! Steamas hot springs were incomparable to its soothing heat and comfort! He felt as if his muscles that were strained from the hard training were recovering and strengthening instantaneously.
Wow, all of this seems like a grand reward for all of my training.
Yes! Its so good.
This, this is excellent!
Sure enough, it had been worthwhile to suffer and groan with Bernard for two months. Evan was instinctively convinced that this baths effect would be much better than that of Steamas.
The legendary alchemist had thoroughly analyzed the ingredients to be added to the hot spring water and combined the effects of all kinds of magical and medicinal herbs and magical tools to enhance the healing effect. There was no way the outcome would be bad for any of them.
If this was a game, the message that would have appeared the moment I entered the bath would have been that I had accurately grasped its effects.
Evan immersed himself in the bath, closed his eyes, and then started laughing hysterically.
The feeling of enjoying the bath without any care in the world was overwhelming. He couldnt measure exactly how happy he was and gave up the attempt, as he thought it might interfere with appreciating the contentment.
The consequences of building this bathhouse are so fascinating that they cannot be expressed easily
Evan thought if he continued thinking like that, this feeling of pleasure would diminish, and it would be all for nothing. For now, it was enough for him to have confirmed that the Brotherhood Bathhouse was superior to the hot spring of Steama.
How is it, Evan? Are you satisfied?
Yes, Grandpa.
Evan replied with a smile. Bernard was enjoying the hot water with joy like Evan himself.
This will be a huge success.
From the very next day, the Brotherhood Bathhouse began operating normally. Of course, there were many problems at first. The entrance fee itself was a whopping 20 silver coins!
With that amount of money, you could enjoy a great meal. In other words, the entre fees of the Bathhouse was enough to eat a satisfying meal for a week! Of course, many people opposed this.
Who the hell even comes here?
This is nonsense!
Hey, this is unnecessary exploitation on behalf of the Marquis of Sherden. Trying to make this much profit from explorers who struggle in the dungeon !
Marquis should lower the entrance fee to the bathhouse right now!
No, they shouldnt have done this! I wont go there!
Many explorers spat in front of the Brotherhood Bathhouse and left. However, Evan couldnt help but notice that some of them were the same people who leisurely went to the dungeons 30th floor and below. There were also quite a few explorers who could casually spend about one gold coin(one gold coin was worth a hundred silver coins).
Some of those explorers thought they were being deceived but still invested 20 silver coins, trusting the Brotherhood Bathhouses name. And the result was There were left speechless.
This is crazy. Ive been to the Steama hot springs before, but this one here is even more awesome.
I dont know where the town Steama is, but this bath It feels like my very soul is being purified.
They change the herbs regularly. I dont know if that increased the effect, but my energy recovered very quickly.
Honestly, the money spent here is not wasted. While bathing, I felt like I was a noble.
Of course, explorers with high dungeon levels had an excellent ability to realize their own stamina and magic.
They found that just entering the bath restored their health and power to the full capacity as well as any abnormal conditions. And all of that for only 20 silver coins.
Hey, in the future, lets soak ourselves in the Brotherhood Bathhouse the day before, we enter the dungeon.
Yes, youre right. The efficiency increases somewhat.
Still, its 20 silver coins We will be coming here soon, wont we?
I recommend coffee milk. I only drink that.
What the hell are you talking about?
As a lot of people and explorers from the dungeons visited the Bathhouse, word about the efficacy of the Brotherhood Bathhouse spread quickly.
Eventually, the battle guild being operated in the dungeon city decided to soak their adventurers in the Brotherhood Bathhouse once a day and made it an essential rule. They were forced to visit it at least once a week.
This is a miracle.
It is water created by God Himself to directly wash and purify our human souls.
And once someone went inside, they couldnt help but admit that the Brotherhood Bathhouse was well worth the 20 silver coins!
Of course, there were still some people who claimed that it was making unneeded profits, but the majority was satisfied with the results of their investment.
The effects of the Brotherhood Bathhouse didnt simply end with getting better for only a couple of minutes. By evolving the physical recovery rate of the whole body, the waters special qualities made it easier and safer to enter the dungeon and further strengthened the body more quickly based on the experience gained in the dungeon.
Those who dont utilize this place and their facilities will soon be unable to wander into the dungeon naturally. I can bet.
There will be a clear difference in the level of the attack team.
Perhaps With the assistance of the healing effects of the Brotherhood Pharmacy, we might be able to easily break through the 45th floor, which is considered the realm of evil.
We may be able to defeat that dog-like Lycan monster Thunder Slope!
Soon, the battle guilds adventurers that entered the dungeon became addicted to the Brotherhood Bathhouse. It became so popular that the order of using the Brotherhood Bathhouse had to be decided, in order to manage the crowds.
Did Master Evan design this place? Hes really great.
While having an infinitely high status, he made such a facility in consideration of the explorers who struggle in the dungeon.
20 silver coins? That tiny amount may not be enough for maintenance costs after all.
Master Evan should be the next Marquis. He is a blessing to this country!
Those who had criticized the Marquis had to change their opinions and realized that it was a miraculous experience for a reasonable price.
Voices praising the Marquis, especially Evan D. Sherden, rang out endlessly through the dungeon city.
At that point, the people who had been cursing and denouncing the Brotherhood Bathhouse had to bite their tongues. One by one, they entered the Brotherhood Bathhouse. A new sensation had been created in the dungeon city!
So what are you drinking? Youre not drinking strawberry milk like a kid, right? Real men drink coffee milk, son. Master Evan also affirmed that he is a firm coffee milk drinker.
What? Of course, its coffee milk. What are you going on about?
Only
Some stupid people drink strawberry milk after bathing in secret. Ha, I cant get along because of the difference in the level of their thinking.
As a bonus, the popularity of various beverages sold at the vending machines had also increased, and many people were largely divided into milk wave and beer wave. They were divided into various other factions within the milk wave, and a fight had begun among them
Puh! Beer is the best after bathing!
I feel sorry for Grandpa. Coffee milk is the best!
What? This is coming from a kid who cant even drink yet, ha!
But thats a completely separate matter!
A small argument started between the legendary alchemists on the minuscule issue of whether beer or coffee milk was better after bathing
