After Hayato opened his eyes he gets up and went where Alyra and Maya were
Maya makes a pout and says " What happened? why did you stay behind? "
Hayato sees Maya with a thoughtful expression and doesn't say anything so Maya says with a still pouting expression " What? you don't want to tell me "
Hayato shakes his head slightly then he says with a small grin " I talked with a good friend "
Maya understands what Hayato meant, but Alyra asked with doubt as she sees behind Hayato " A friend? Someone is hiding there? "
" He just doesn't want to tell us " Said Maya faking an annoyed expression
" That's right, now let's go back " Said Hayato and he touched Maya and Alyra's shoulders to then teleport back to the boat
Alyra makes a happy smile and says " Thank you Hayato, now that I become an Amateur Super Magic Swordsman, I almost recovered all the power that my sister stole from me "
" That's great, I suppose that it won't take you so much to recover all of it " Hayato makes a grin
" I hope so " Alyra said shyly bowing her head
" Hey! Let's go to eat something " Maya interrupts them and pulls both of them by the sleeves
After that, they went with Dye and Wade to eat something, It seems that Dye was eating the dragon's heart. For the next four days, Hayato repeated his routine, he teleports back to the Human Continent to hunt some monsters and take their Cores, he now has, 20 small sizes Monster Cores, 30 medium sizes Monster Cores, and 1 big size Monster Core, he now has 172,850 System Points
When they finally arrived at the Monster Continent, they can see the docks from the boat, the port city looks exactly like the port city of Kamira, but the difference lies in all the coast, the port city is surrounded by a big desert, the name of the port city is Amyster, Hayato asked the name of the city to the captain of the boat. When they left the boat Dye was the first one to talk
" It's so hot here and all these people make it worse " Dye said when she was trying to take off her Akatsuki robe
" Why we didn't feel this heat in the boat? " Hayato asked with curiosity
" The boat had magic protection against the weather, that's why we feel it till now " Wade said with a sweating face
" Alright let's take out our robes, and give them to me, with this kind of temperature wearing black clothes is a bad idea " Hayato said calmly and he removes his Akatsuki, robes leaving only his clothes from the movie Road to Ninja, then he receives the robes of Wade Dye and Maya and stores them in his inventory
" This heat is normal for a desert, no? " Maya frowns as she puts her hand a little bit above her head covering her face from the intense sun
Wade smiles wryly and says " I don't know, I've never been here before "
" Me neither " Alyra said calmly doing the same as Maya to protect her face
Dye makes a smile and says " Then what do we do now? "
Hayato makes a little grin and says " The first thing we need to do is sell these Monster Cores that I have, next we can use the money to buy a map or something useful "
Alyra makes a face of doubt " Okay, but where we can sell them? "
Maya makes a happy smile and says " Let's go to ask the people on the street "
Hayato and the others began to approach the people on the street until Maya was the first one to obtain the information they needed after all a lot of young men swarmed her to give her an answer
" Hey! Over here! " Maya rises her hand and yells making Hayato, Wade, Dye, and Alyra approach her
" What? Do you know where we can sell them? " Hayato makes a grin
" Yes, there is a shop outside of this city, let's go there " Maya responds with a smile
They went outside of the city and then Maya said in surprise
" Hayato! Look! look! " Maya pulls Hayato's sleeve with excitement as she points to a direction
" What? " Hayato turns to see in the direction where Maya was pointing and he sees a girl with tail and cat ears
" It's that a catgirl? is the first time I saw one " Hayato said in surprise
" The beast-men race is all over this Continent so is normal to see them around, they are better fighters than humans too, also this place had different categories than the Human Continent, " Wade said calmly
" For example? " Hayato makes a curious face
Wade smiles a little and says " Oh, well, I only know four, the Reinforcer, the Necromancer, the Beast Tamer, and the Magic Archer "
" Those four sound good, but if I remember correctly we fought a Reinforcer when we attacked the Brywood family " Hayato grins a little
Wade smiles as he nods " Yes, he had some strange techniques that helped their partners a lot, we need to investigate if there are more categories besides those "
" Wait, you said before Magic Archer? what's that? Is it not the same as the archers that I saw in the castle before? " Alyra said with doubt
" No, it's a category that applies only to the Elven race, is the same as Beast Tamer that only applies to the Beast-men, it seems that they are specialized in those " Wade said calmly
Maya smiles a little " The Elven race is one of the guardian races, that explains why they can use that but I never read about the Beast-men, so I didn't know that "
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the shop, in the entrance, says Alchemist, Hayato, and his group entered the shop and there they were received by an Old man with a long white beard and brown skin
" How can I help you " The old man spoke with a hoarse voice
" Hello, we want to sell these Monster Cores " Hayato made a small smile as he puts the Monster Cores in front of the Old man
" Let's see... " The Old man grabbed the Monster Cores and began to inspect them one by one after he finished he turned to see Hayato " These Monster Cores are from the Human Continent, no? " The Old man spoke with a calm voice
" Yes, why did you ask? " Hayato made a face of doubt
" Here, these Monster Cores don't worth so much thanks to their low amount of energy, but I can give you 40 Copper coins for these 20 small Monster Cores, 4 silver Coins for these 30 medium size Monster Cores, and 5 silver coins for this Big size Monster Core, the prices vary because they are from different monsters " The Old man said calmly
" I see… " Hayato responded with disappointment
" Are you sure you still want to sell them, young man? " The Old man asked with a soft voice
" Yes please " Hayato smiled again and he received 9 silver coins and 40 copper coins
" Well, thanks for coming " The Old man smiled
" Oh! sir, one last thing you know where we can find an Adventurers Guild? " Hayato made a face of doubt
" Yes, you will find one in the Shakhtar Kingdom, which is at the northeast of this city " The Old man said calmly
" Thank you, Do you have a map that can you sell us? " Hayato asked with a smile
" Yes… " The Old man searches on a shelf behind him and he grabs a rolled map to give it to Hayato " Here it is, it will be 1 Copper Coin "
" Here you go, thanks sir " Hayato pays for the map and they left the store after that Hayato opens the map and he was impressed
' The Monster Continent is huge, there are 8 Empires here a lot of Kingdoms, at least 20, and even more small cities, well, let's focus first on the Shakhtar Kingdom, it seems that we need to make a scale in the Shokan city, I hope we have enough money to arrive there '
" So, Hayato, where are we going? " Alyra asked with a smile
" We have to go to Shokan City first, it will take us at least 2 days to arrive there " Hayato said with a smile
" Ok! Let's go! " Dye screams happily and she began to walk
Alyra grabs Dye by the shoulders stopping her " Hey! Maybe we can find a transport "
" Transport? " Dye makes a face of doubt
" But where we can find one? " Hayato asked with curiosity
" Hayato look there, that huge advertisement, it says fast transport " Maya said with a smile as she pointed to where a pair of Beast-men are sitting relaxing, they have dog tails and ears
" Okay, let's ask them " Hayato nodded and they went towards the beast-men, Maya was the first one to speak
" Hello, we can ask for transport? " Maya said with a smile
" Of course beautiful lady, but our service only arrives at Shokan city " The dogman responds with a happy face
" That's perfect, my friends and I want to go there " Maya made a wide smile
" Okay, you are five, so it will be 2 silver coins for the trip " The dogman said with a smile
" Okay, Hayato can you give me the money? " Maya turns to see Hayato and he gives her 2 silver coins and she pays the dogman
" Thanks…. now, Heat Millipede! " The dogman raised his hand and yelled and after a few seconds, the ground began to open and a Millipede around 20 meters long and 3 meters tall come out from the sand
The dogman turns to see his partner and says " Klein, put him on the belt "
" Ok " The other dogman jumps above the millipede and puts a cloth tent above him. He assures the tent in the millipede with some ropes and steel bars
The dogman puts a wooden ladder beside the millipede and says with a smile " Now get in the tent " Hayato, Maya, Dye, Alyra, and Wade go up to the tent in the huge Millipede
" Now let's go! " One of the dogmen yelled and the millipede began to run at a very high-speed surprising Hayato and the others
" At this speed, we will arrive in less than half a day! " Hayato said with a surprised voice
" Yes, this is amazing! " Alyra said happily
The millipede was crossing the desert when Hayato turns to see the outside with curiosity and says " It's the whole Monster Continent a desert? "
Then Maya responds to him with a smile " No, the place has an even greater variety of biomes than the Human Continent thanks to its size and the quantity of mana, that's why the monsters have a much bigger power and diversity, besides I had read about an ancient civilization on the dunes at the center of the continent it said that their strength could rival even the Guardian Races "
Alyra makes a surprised expression and says " Oh, I had read about that before but it doesn't say what happened to them they just vanished "
" It's like someone wanted to hide something, all that information just disappeared, " Wade said with a frowning expression
" Hmm " Hayato frowns as he turns to see the outside again then after a few hours, the millipede finally stops
" We arrived customers! " the dogman yelled from the outside
" Finally! My back hurts " Dye said with a pout
Hayato and the others get down from the millipede and they thanked the dogman, then they began to walk to the Shokan city
" Look, it looks like the desert ended at some point before we arrived here, now we are in a forest " Said Dye with a big smile
" Thank god, that heat was so annoying " Said Maya with satisfaction
" Haha, let's go, the Beast Tamer said that the city was passing the forest " Alyra made a happy smile
They walked for a few minutes when they finally saw the end of the forest and the gates of the city, it looks like the Lyrel kingdom from the outside with a concrete wall surrounding the city, when they arrive at the entrance they heard some people yelling with excitement
" The inscriptions for the tournament are about to start! the ones who wanted to participate please make a line! " The yell of a young man could be heard from the entrance of the city
" Tournament?! " Hayato, Maya, Wade, and Alyra yelled with doubt and they approached the entrance
