Raliz was finished buying stuffs in the market.
She was walking back to the castle. Actually, Raliz could just ordered the guards and maids there to bought her stuffs but she insisted.
Her reason were to explore and gain knowledge about things here in Alpha World.
Like she learned lately. She learned about the currency in this world. They used coins and crystals.
The lowest value are bronze coins, and followed by silver, then gold coins. The highest value, the most hard to earn is the Crystal.
The World also used Trading System, where they could exchanged or trade their things to another depends on its value.
Bronze coins or things mostly earned by non noble people, like peasants, farmers, and poor people.
Silver and Gold coins are earned by people with great reputations, people with large business and successful ones.
The Crystals could only be earned by Royalties and people who works at mines.
Crystals that are used for money are not easy to find. It's not the like the ones Raliz have, her gem and the jewel.
Raliz's Gem and Jewel can be used as weapons or to help do magic but the Crystals are used to make people evolved.
The Crystals were like little shards and inside those Crystals were Spirit Energies.
Every Crystal contain 12 Spirit Energies. Raliz already knew about this because Serpent already explained this things to her.
The shares Raliz got from the battle were 2 red and blue potions, 1 green potion, a potion with many colors in it, and 500 gold coins.
500 gold coins are very huge amount!
1 gold coin is equivalent to 100 silver coins, 1 silver coin is equivalent to 100 bronze coins. So in total, Raliz's 500 gold coins is equivalent to 5,000,000 Bronze Coins!
Crystals have no equivalent. You cannot even buy them. Mostly, Crystals used to buy Magical stuffs like Potions and other things that involves magic.
But this world have some similarities in Raliz's world. Because of money, there are discrimination and injustices.
There are still people that have no home and wealth, people that are less fortunate.
Raliz still saw beggars in the streets begging for money from people who are much fortunate than them.
What Raliz broke her heart that those beggars were all children. Dressed in ragged and dirty garments. Raliz felt pity for them.
A kid wearing a pink dress holding a paper that has words on it. ' I'm Alby. I'm a mute. Please, help me. My mother is very ill. I need some money.'
The girl went to a man with huge muscles and kinda rich with its golden accessories.
The man stopped and red the paper that the girl was holding. Suddenly, he laughed.
"What's this! Your mother is ill? How sad..." The man said sarcastically.
Raliz heard it and she frowned.
"Hey, Kid. You know what? Life is hard and cruel. You have to survive in this world on your own. And your mom will die in that sickness. So, just let her die and have a life on your own." said the man. The man threw 2 silver coins at the little girl.
The girl grabbed the coins.
Raliz's face turned ugly. She heard what the man said. She was angry. No, her anger reached to the point where she wants to kill!
Raliz ran towards the man and punched his face so hard. The man stumbled to the ground. The man's nose bled.
The man stood up then he threw a punch at Raliz. Raliz didn't moved. She wants to take the blow!
Then, a hand caught the man's hand.
"Hey, you shouldn't pick a fight to a woman. Fight me instead." The Black Knight said.
Raliz was surprised when the The Black Knight appeared. She thought she was gonna have it. The man was like a normal person in strength. Raliz strength is not the same level of that man, and that's the reason why she didn't dodged.
The man recognized the Black Knight and immediately apologized. The Black Knight moved its fingers and shadow ropes appeard and tied the man's both arms in the back.
Then a black hole appeared below the ground where the man was standing. It swallowed the man whole!
"Are you okay?" The Black Knight asked Raliz.
"Black Knight. Yes, I'm okay." Raliz said.
She turned around and looked at the Little Girl. "Are you okay?" Raliz asked the Little Girl."
The girl nodded.
Raliz smiled. "Hey, your mother is sick right? Take me to your mother. I'll help her." Raliz said.
The girl understand Raliz. She also smiled.
The girl ran while making a sign in her hand to make Raliz follow her. Raliz followed leaving the Black Knight behind.
The Black Knight was about to call Raliz but he stopped. He thought of something.
...
Raliz and the little girl arrived at an abandoned building. Raliz and the girl went inside.
"Are you sure your mother is here? This place is very dark and dangerous." Raliz asked the girl to make sure things was going right.
The girl faced Raliz and a very creepy smile appeared in her face.
"Raliz, I got a feeling that something is not right on that little girl." Serpent said.
Raliz thought that too. Suddenly, the mute girl talked. "We got you! Let's play! Give me your money!"The Girl spoke with her very scary voice.
Then, shadows appeared circling Raliz.
Raliz was surprised. This was just a trap and she fell for it. Raliz cussed.
She summoned her gem and turned it into a sword.
"Raliz, What we are dealing right now were Dark Creatures. That Girl is a Creature. A Dark Shape-shifting Goblin, Master Level. There are 10 of them here. Also, there are Shadow Ghouls. These Shadow Ghouls were only corrupted by Dark Powers, they're not Dark Creatures. But be careful, they are Elite Level but their attacks could reached the power of a Master Level. There are 7 of them." Serpent explained.
Raliz prepared herself. A Shadow Ghoul landed an attack on Raliz. Raliz dodged the attack and slashed her sword at the Shadow Ghoul. The Shadow Ghoul was cut into two.
Raliz thought she'd killed the Creature but there was no announcement played in her head. The ghoul that was cut in two formed together again.
Raliz was surprised.
"Raliz to kill this Creatures, you have break their energy cores. It's located in their single eye." Serpent said.
The Shadow Ghouls were look like a ghost Cyclops, they only have one eye.
All of the Ghouls attacked together and Raliz jumped high then slashed the ceilings. The ceilings crumbled down and revealed an another floor.
Dusts floated in the air. Raliz summoned her arrows and changed her weapon into bow.
She placed her arrows and aimed it at the Shadow Ghoul's eye.
The Arrow flew directly into the The Shadow Ghoul's eye and it pierced inside its head.
Announcement played in Raliz's head.
"You've killed Elite Level: Shadow Ghoul
Rewards: 100 Spirit Energy."
Raliz frowned a little because she didn't got a loot.
She kept shooting her arrows until she killed all remaining Shadow Ghouls.
"You've killed Elite Level: Shadow Ghoul. Rewards: 100 Spirit Energy. Loot: Shadow Eye( if equiped, you can see through objects from 30 Km radius)."
Raliz was happy.
She finally got a loot!
By killing all 7 Shadow Ghouls, she received 700 Spirit Energy.
She looked around and saw no one. The Shape-shifting Goblins were gone. Raliz equiped her new loot, The Shadow Eye. The good thing about Shadow Eye was it can be use any time unlike the Dark Flame, a one time use.
Raliz saw those Shape-shifting Goblins behind a wall. Raliz immediately gathered some power in her fist and punched the wall.
Raliz destroyed the wall completely. It revealed those filthy Goblins. Raliz prepared herself but she noticed two people behind those Shape-shifting Goblins.
There was a woman holding a kid. The woman was bleeding fast but she was still alive while the girl was untouched. The girl was very familiar. The little girl, Alby and the Woman beside her must be her.mom.
So, the Shape-shifting Goblin shape-shifted into a little girl, Alby, so they can lure their Kindhearted prey here in their hide out. Then, they attacked to kill.
The Shape-shifting Goblins suddenly take shift into humans and they were holding daggers.
They were pointing at the mother and daughter!
The other Goblin suddenly make a move and stabbed the mother in the back.
The mother groaned in pain. The mute, Alby, cried quietly.
Killing intent flashed in Raliz's eyes. Suddenly, her arrows disappeared. Her bow turned into a dagger. Raliz is efficient in Daggers too. Her Grandpa taught her a lot of things about combat.
Raliz efficiency in handling a dagger made her speed more faster. She suddenly appeared behind of a Shape-shifting Goblin then she cut its head off.
Raliz's level came back to zero but her strength isn't. Her strength could be compared from a Master Level. Plus, her gem is very special. It could kill a level higher than Raliz's. Last time Raliz was Elite, so her Dagger could just easily kill a Master Level Creature. Like cutting a butter using a hot knife.
Raliz killed every Goblin she saw and her killing style was very nasty. It's like Raliz was a real pro in killing.
The last Shape-shifting Goblins she killed gave Raliz one loot and each Goblins gave her 120 Spirit Energy. By killing all ten Shape-shifting Goblins she gained 1,200 Spirit Energy.
But she had no time to think about those things, her gazed fell down on the mother and daughter.
The back of Alby's Mother was filled with many cuts, wounds, and bruises,plus the stabbed area. The mother was bleeding profusely.
Raliz take out a potion, a green potion, the one that Raliz gained.
"Ma'am, don't be afraid, you're safe now with your daughter. Please, drink this potion, it'll healed all your wounds up." The mother accept the potion and drank it.
The potion was called Full Healing Potion. This potion can cure every diseases and all physical injuries.
The wounds and bruises were healed in a second.
