"Old Chief, could I ask you to build me a warehouse?" "A warehouse? Oh right, I noticed some strange boxes in your room. You want to move it out?" "Yes, in fact, my house was almost full of those boxes. So, I need a new place to store those boxes." "Well, building a warehouse is a simple matter. So, I would not reject your request." "Thank you very much Old Chief. Right, could you make the warehouse with a basement." "A basement? Well yes it was possible but building it would need more time." "Again, thank you very much, Old Chief." "Don't mention it, Harry. You are also our family after all."
The two talked about some random stuff for several minutes until Rey asked a question. "Old Chief, when will the villagers go to Blue Town again?" "Blue Town, I don't know. Maybe we would not go there for the time being." "Eh, why?" "Was not that because of you? Hahaha." The Old Chief laughed while Rey confused. "Merchant Ji has started come to the villages again, so why would we have to go to Blue Town. Even if we need something from Blue Town, Merchant Ji would bring them over, selling them to us.
Now, Rey understood. It was indeed him who cause the villagers does not have to go to Blue Town anymore. "Old Chief, could I borrow a horse." "Why? Do you want to go to the Blue Town?" "Yes, I need something from there." "Dark elemental cores?" "Yes." "You seem quite interested in dark elemental cores, Harry." "Well, I had a friend who needs them. So, yeah I interested in them." "Alright, borrowing a horse is not a problem, but it would be dangerous for you."
"Danger?" "Yes, Blue Town might be close to this village, but the danger was still existed. If you go alone, random people might rob you. So, you should bring someone with you. I think you had made acquittance with Luo Fu's group. So, how about I arranged them to go with you." "I had no objection."
After some more casual conversation the two went out from the house. Old Chief began arranged some villagers to build the warehouse. The villager did not object the request. After all, building a warehouse was a simple matter for them.
Old Chief also told Luo Fu's group about assisting Rey to go to Blue Town. The three agreed instantly. They still remember the taste of the chocolate that Rey has given to them. Who knows that Rey would give them another chocolate after the trip. Through the gazes of the three, Rey understood their intention. 'They want more chocolate. It seems I had to buy more chocolate for them.'

Merchant Ji Trading Company, Blue Town.
"I am sorry, Mr. Harry, but we don't have any dark elemental beast core for now." Rey was quite disappointed by the clerk word. The moment he arrived at the Blue Town, he instantly goes to the Merchant Ji Headquarters. He hoped that they might have some beast core in their warehouse, but they don't. "Alright, do you know where I could buy it from?" "Yes, you might find them in Merchant Lu trading company, they used to go to Dark Orc Kingdom once a year, so they might have some dark elemental cores."
Rey's eyes brightened. After asking for direction of Merchant Lu Trading Company, Rey thanked the clerk and excuse himself. He went to the direction of Merchant Lu Trading Company.
"Do you have any dark elemental cores." Rey directly asked the clerk after arrived in the Merchant Lu. "We do have some level 2 dark elemental beast core, how much do you need, sir?" The clerk asking respectfully. "How many cores do you have?" "Around 30." 'So much?' "I need 5 of them." The clerk smiled. "Five of them would be 175 gold, sir." "Alright." The two concluded the transaction.
"Do you need something else, sir?" "Yes. Do you have any level 3 dark elemental beast cores?" The clerk froze for a moment because nobody had asked such question to him. Nobody in Blue Town had the ability to use nor absorb the level 3 dark elemental beast core. After all, to absorb this orb, someone should have a profession as a dark mage. If the warrior takes it, he/ she might become an undead.
As for the people who used to buy level two dark elemental beast core was the level 2 blacksmith who want to forge a weapon. The weapon that forge using this core would have some distinctive features. The weapon would have some corrosive effect for the target and in some cases, the weapon could be poisonous. Lots of adventures would prefer to use this weapon because the weapon was deadlier to the beast than any other weapon.
So, the clerk thought Rey as dark mages or a level three blacksmith. Either way, those identity was unheard of in Blue Town. After recovered from his daze, the clerk hurriedly replied. "About this, I need to talk to my superior, sir. Please wait a moment." "Alright."
The clerk left Rey alone, after several minutes he came back and guided Rey to a certain room. Rey entered the room where a young woman was sitting on a chair. The clerk asked Rey to have a sit politely, and then he left the room.
"You are quite young, aren't you?" The young man in front of him suddenly spoke while Rey was observing her. She has black hair and black eyes. Somehow, she had the same features as Iona, but she was the mature version of Iona. "Yes, I guess." "Alright. Let's go straight to the business. How much do you want?"
Rey was caught off guard by the sudden question. 'It will not look good if I say just one, right?' "I need two." "Two? That would be 420 gold, do you have the money." "Yes." "Oh, what a rich little boy, here your beast cores." The woman handed the cores and Rey handed the money. "Alright, my name is Lu Ran. This company is my father's. If you need more beast cores, you may come here again." The woman was quite rude, but Rey does not mind it. After all, the only place that provided dark elemental beast cores was only this company. So, Rey would often contact them.
Rey had 900 gold when he went for Blue Town. After deducting 175 gold and 420 gold from the trade, he left with 305 gold. He told the trio that he had concluded his business. He intends to go back to the village but halted his horse when noticing a man who shouting that he sold his horse.
Rey and the trio went for the man. "How much do you sell this horse for?" Rey was interested with the horse. The horse is big, and its color was a total black which quite terrifying for some girls to look at. Rey interested with the horse because the horse was looked really strong. "I will sell it for 55 gold, young sir." Rey looked at Fu, and Fu understood Rey intention. Fu quickly whispered to Rey that 55 gold indeed was a fair price for the horse.
"Alright, I will buy it." Rey handed the money take the horses. The man was smiled, but Rey feels that his smile was a little bit off. Rey didn't think much about it and decided to go back to the village.
3 hours later, they found some wild sweet potato and decided to dig it out. They tie the horses to the tree and started to dig the wild sweet potato. After digging them out, Rey handed them the bottles of waster from his backpack. They quite curious about the bottles which made Rey a little helpless. After drinking the water, Rey give their favorite snack, chocolate. Their eyes brightened and began to chew the chocolate happily.
"Well, well, well.. Look what we got. Four little monkeys resting under the three. Hahahaha." Suddenly 10 man in horses was approaching the four direction. The four recognize one of them. The man who sold his horse to Rey.
"What's the meaning of this sir?" Fu asked politely. The fat man who spoke earlier laughed. "Give me your valuables and I will spare your puny life. Hehe." The four were shocked. "Are you robbing us?" Fu asked. "What do you think? Hahaha." "Boss let's just kill them all and take their belongings!" One of them suggested. "Alright, all of you take them down!" The fat man commanded coldly.
The nine man get down from their horses and began to walk closer to the four. "Stop." Rey suddenly roared. His hand wielding his desert eagle seemingly ready to shoot. "What you guys stop for, quickly finish them all." The fat man roared.
"Bang.." Rey shot his desert eagle towards the fat man. 'Head Shot.' Luo Fu and co was froze and the nine of the robbers also shocked by the sudden loud sound. The horses fled to all direction. The fat man was fell down from his horse which made the nine frightened. "Boss is dead? How?"
