Since we already have the plant in our hands, the system and the Sanctum of Ugmjir recognises our achievements and ends up shaking the floor. The earthquake - or what I want to call a keplarquake - morphs the place. We have just noticed it by now, but the place we are standing at has a circular shape. And before we know it, the area we are at right now becomes a podium and instantly brings us upward without warning. That knocks out Chloe and Prince Faelar. But it doesn’t take long before they open their eyes and welcome the enthralling sight of the outdoors. I have never felt so thankful after the experience I have had underground. The green pint covering the trees becomes a blessing, and the array of light shooting out from the sun brings me warmth. The instant my feet touch the grass, ecstatic tingles through my nerves. That’s not all. A gentle breeze touches my skin, and the air inhaled through our surroundings is a blessing for my lungs, compared to the dust and pebbles covering
We stay in for the night and rest until the sun comes back tomorrow. Although it is better for us to reach the Nylsshys as soon as possible, everyone has their bodies kneeling on the ground, begging for a rest. And rest it shall be. We don’t have any time to exchange words of wisdom or stories, as the two carnal desires have kicked in. The faster these two can rest, the earlier they will wake up. And if we can resume to the road, we will reach the Nylsshys in no time... maybe a few more hours from where we are. Since Chloe and Prince Faelar aren’t up for the quest, out of good heart, I have volunteered myself to keep watch. And this time, I will not go offline or go into rest mode. I know I have done it a while back, but I will not risk everyone’s life to do it the second time. Chloe unlits the campfire, so we will not be seen by any bounty hunters or rogue adventurers. Although the fire can serve as our light to shine at the darkest corners of this forest, it can also attract unwa
Third Person Point of ViewMysterious Person’s Perspective__________________________After leaving the person I have been following, I go on a trip… a mission to eliminate my target as a bounty hunter. Playing goody two shoes isn’t my style. But since this has to be done and there are no available bounty hunters within the area, Anne Amazon personally requested me to take care of this annoying business.The quest doesn’t break me any sweat at all, thanks to the monsters I possess and control. Once I found my target, I immediately shredded him into pieces. And that was the end of his story.It doesn’t take long before I have ended the task and plan on returning with the familiar party I have once with. I don’t miss them. It’s just that the person I was with before was the princess of the Winfort Kingdom, and that is my target. Although there is a bounty on the princess’ head, I do not dare to take her life just yet. It seems Anne Amazon has something else in store for them, and I humb
The place is no different than the one we have from the Honeywood town. However, this time, the city is larger, and more people come and go. Protecting the Republic is a wall that covers an entire, and these panels are imbued with magic and other materials that works well against physical penetrations.We have been stopped by a couple of watchguards posted on the gates. There is a line filled with civilians - tourist or not, but no humans. Chloe and Prince Faelar are the only humans in the place. So before we can enter and fall in line, I ask the two if they can disguise themselves, hoping nobody will catch them.I also ask Prince Faeler if he has some connections with the guards that can get us inside way quicker. He tells me he has a few familiar faces who know him… But what I don’t know or realise is that Prince Faelar is a prince from the Eastern Republic… meaning, he’s also a demi human, but somehow has changed his facial feature to blend in with us. Although that thought has ent
The first batch of clothes are casual and comfortable dresses befitting for all genders. Although it is made from less quality compared to what Chloe and Prince Faelar have, these clothing allows air to flow freely through the holes.Well, Chloe buys a couple of them from the merchant… BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE AFTER… Since Chloe is a girl, I let her be. Even Prince Faelar sends question marks in our direction, wondering what the hell is happening in this business. Women. I tell him that through the use of [Bavardage]. But the moment a floating window appears before him, which Chloe, Prince Faelar, and I can see, the teenage boy freaks out and jerks like a bunny out of a hole.The old lady questions what has happened, and slightly assumes Prince Faelar is attacked. But it turns out, Prince Faelar excuses himself, and the merchant buys it. Another series of clothing is showcased to us. This time, we see what we want. In the middle of this pile of laundry is a coat gargantuan enough
Let bygones be bygones. The con-artist who had screwed us over is an old lady, but that’s alright. We just hope that the merchant will use our money for good… and not spend it in one place. Chloe and I have a ton of Credits, which up until now I have no idea about the value of it. Prince Faelar doesn’t say anything, since Chloe and I are the ones who have purchased the items. But just as the saying goes, this will serve as a lesson. It is what it is. Our previous Credits sat around 18,728 C. But we have spent around 3,000 C for the two cloaks and five distinct, but comfy casual clothes meant to be worn inside a room, especially on a regular day or when Chloe plans to sleep. THREE. FUCKING. THOUSAND. CREDITS. Even though I have no idea what three thousand Credits can do, it still sounds a lot, if someone asks me. We only have 15,728 Credits left in our disposal. And it’s not something she needs to have everyday, since we’re constantly outside living in the woodlands. But, hey! At lea
That is… the worst sentence I’ve heard. It cringes the soul out of me. But apparently, the guards bought it… I think, and approve of our request to enter inside. Chloe is still stunned right now, not because she is flustered to become Prince Faelar’s partner, but for the entire phrase. Well, the good thing is, we’re finally out of the water. And we made the guards laugh their arse out the moment Prince Faelar said those words.As soon as the gates creak open for us, the town immediately welcomes our eyes. The plaza is already in front of us. And the landmark the Eastern Republic has is some sort of wishing fountain where anyone can throw how much coin one has to make a wish. There are dozens stationed on the water park as the demi-human children throw coins one after the other as they clutch both of their hands, close their eyes, and silently wish among the stars. Speaking of demi-humans, this place is crawling with them! Everywhere we glance, there’s always a demi-human or a semi-m
“That is pretty… embarrassing. But I like it,” Prince Faelar mumbles, and finally says what he’s thinking about.“While we were walking down the streets and everyone was bowing their heads to greet each other, I… I didn’t know that. Us nobles have a different way to greet each other… And after all this time, I have no idea how the common people talk to each other.”“All this time, you have never talked to anyone in the village before? Except for the nobles, of course,” Chloe asks.Prince Faelar answers, “Yeah. My parents told me that there is a better time and place for that, so they isolated me from the outside world. The window from my castle was my only friend. But when I became a herbalist… or took interest in concocting medicines, I somehow made a connection when I told my butler to give those that I made to the villagers. But I never directly met them before. Only this once.”Chloe pauses for a while before continuing to her next sentences. “Hmmm. Then how is your experience in
