Usually, you were given a full map in an RPG game, just you can't teleport to a certain place without activating the teleportation circle first (otherwise you will need a specific teleportation scroll to go there).
However, Dye's map was incomplete. She only had a map leading to three cities near the mountains. Although they were located at the same mountain ridge, they were, in fact, very far from each other. The closest city she got the map of was Vrenze City, and it would take them around two weeks to get there on foot. Dye almost wished that they were level 20 already, earning the right to use the 'wings' option.
They also had no mounts. It was actually almost impossible to get a mount from Beginner's Village that actually helped. In addition, they had no 'two person' mounts and Dye wasn't sure that Kaen could ride a mount without being thrown from its back.
Which prey would let a predator ride it?
Anyways, after discussing things with the other three, they decided to go to the nearest city, Vrenze City.
According to her designs, Vrenze City was a city based on the European country, Italy, especially towards Ancient Rome. Although all the cities had an arena, only Vrenze's had a 'Colosseum' look. It was one of the richest low-level city inside the mountain ridge, although it was still an ant compared to the big cities outside the mountain ridge.
"What will we do about this Elementalists Guild? We couldn't just leave it here?" Ynoir said, "especially after it was abandoned..."
"Don't worry pretty boy, we should apply to the main Elementalists Headquarters, and then they will send some more Elementalists here, just give the guild to Mrs. Lin to take care of again," Dye said, pulling out a high-grade goatskin parchment. Although when she left, there would be no more Elementalists in Beginner's City, she didn't think that there would be none in the future.
Dye's handwriting was sloppy, although high-grade goatskin parchment only cost her one Silver coin, it was still precious. She only got one Silver coin after killing more than a hundred beasts in Lychon Valley. Not all beasts drop copper coins, and not all beasts drop materials too.
Another reason why the quartet chose Vrenze City was because of the Mordo Canyon right beside it. According to what Dye had designed, Mordo Canyon had lots of Fire Star Hebs, which was needed for Kaen's evolution. If they were lucky, they might be able to find a high grade Fire Star Herb, or maybe even the top grade one.
Buying a top grade Fire Star Herb from the system cost her two Gold coins. That would be her entire savings. The monsters in Beginner's Village was pretty much weak, and the people could kill them all by themselves, if the monsters would respawn.
If they did, then it would take a long time for the monsters to respawn...
In the end, Dye had to be a mother and prepare the group's essentials. As there were no soap, or shampoo, or other kinds of cleaning and bathing kit in Hyouka, or perhaps just in the village, Dye had to buy some from the system. In fact, the system was pretty much generous to give four sets of cleaning and bathing kit for a single Copper coin. In addition, Dye could see that the soap and shampoo were brand items. On Earth, those things would be really expensive!
It was just then that Dye realized that the three of them, not including newborn Kaen, smelled like rotten fish, however, to the others, it was normal.
Dye kept in mind that they should take a bath the second they found a river. They should find a river on the way, perhaps after one or two days?
Dye sighed in envy at Kaen who apparently had the Clean skill, which was an elemental skill that she should've had when she reached the next rank. Although Kaen had the Clean skill, she also mentally noted to make Kaen take a bath with the boys.
There were also toothbrush and toothpaste inside the bag. The system was very generous. Very generous indeed.
You can guess what was inside the bag that made Dye...quite angry.
