old man, and if the number of enemies you defeated ends with the same digit then
you'll receive a piece of Mythril (in some cases it will not work for whatever
reason; if you have a problem either go outside, defeat 1 enemy and try again or
keep fighting until you reach a number with the same digits at the end again and
go back to check with the old man). Once you get the Mythril, go to the weapon
seller's house to the right of the Gold Saucer and give the seller the Mythril,
