after dancing and playing faes and sky both got back to others and stared at them with big eyes with their hands rubbing their stomach. others who saw them just grinned and laughed. it was clear that their princesses were hungry and wanted food.
"we have already served your food please enjoy" eli said as he pointed to a table full of food near them. they knew something like this will happen hence they had already prepared all kind of disches for the two and themselves too.
"you guys are the best." faes and sky immediately began surfing their food in their tiny mouths. their aides also began eating their own food smiling and serving the two.
when the villagers saw the group enjoying they smiled and some even offered special food items they prepared for the two. faes and sky accepted them with sparking eyes, they would never say no to food!
the village chief had been keeping an eye on all six of their guests and even if others haven't noticed, he had noticed their strange behaviour. while the two girls were youngest other four treated them as if they were superiors. he had also noticed eli talking to someone and accidentally heard him greeting the other party. the village chief was shocked and realized that the two girls were either some high-status nobles or royals. but the way they acted was different than others hence he failed to notice it before.
the village chief felt even more proud and thankful to the group after figuring out their secret. he wasn't going to expose them but he will support and help them in any way he can.
"everyone! can i have your attention please?" the village chief said as the music faded out. everyone focused on him
"since our saviours have helped us by clearing out the mines and killing the legendary beast, we can continue staying here in the future and do not need to relocate. we can also mine far more materials and increase our supply. it will not only help our village develop but also increase the world's strength. since it's all because of our saviours, I would like to give them a name - aster! on behalf of the whole village."
faes and others heard the village chief and blinked. aster? their group? well, it wasn't actually a bad name! faes smiled and nodded accepting the name for their group as everyone else cheered.
after the celebration ended faes and others rested for the night and set out towards the capital.
...
once they arrived back in capital faes and sky entered the adventures guild to get their rewards for completing the quest.
"i see you have completed the quest as our reports, here are your rewards." the worker sent one million money points to her as a reward just as she heard the notification of quest completing rang in her ears.
glancing at the notification faes was stunned. she originally wanted to know what the ????? was in the rewards but now it was clear
[quest: help the mining village in Nadar
rewards: exp, million money points, rare ores from the earth that are not found in this world. decoding skill.]
she wasn't surprised because of the ores but decoding skill. it wasn't a normal decoding skill,
[decoding skill-
can decode any codes or maps.
cooldown: one day]
she can now decode the treasure map the village chief had given her. but now wasn't time for it. she almost had two million money points currently and they were in need to restock various things in mystic fog castle.
faes turned to sky
"baby lets go shopping! we can buy some clothes for you too"
sky was growing rapidly as she was still an infant and hence she needed larger sized clothes constantly. sky too jumped around before pulling faes on the street excited to go shopping.
faes just smiled as she called emma and robin out of mystic fog castle, this way they can buy more things that they need and wont forget anything.
"that shop looks good, it is even selling a variety of products lets go there!" emma pointed out. faes and sky nodded and followed emma and robin into the store.
"welcome to our omnipotent shop! the nature's blessing welcomes you" a lady greeted them with a smile as they entered.
"how can we help you today?" the lady asked
"we actually need lots of things" emma and robin began listing the items they needed while the lady began to make a list of them on her tab.
"sure no problem please follow me" once they were finished the lady took them to various sections of the huge store. the store was as big as a mall in faes eyes and even had more than ten floors!
first floor sold common items for daily lives such as vegetables, fruits, utensils, mops, snaks, basic pills and potions, and many other things. faes even saw a section selling cultivation techniques and weapons!
the second floor sold furniture, clothes, accessories, decorations, musical instruments, painting objects, and such things. the third floor sold things and tools for various subclasses such as farming, forging, alchemists, fishers, tamers and others. faes even saw different kinds of boats there!
the fourth floor sold books and scrolls. while the fifth and sixth floors sold rare and other important materials and objects. on the seventh floor, one can find rare herbs and ores while above these were restricted areas for workers and staff. it was actually natures blessing's headquarters!
faes and others bought everything they wanted and even got few extra things after being tempted, especially tons of snacks and rare herbs.
"that will be a total of 1.6 million money points" the lady gave them the bill smiling as faes paid the bill.
"excuse me but i wanted to ask something" faes said glancing around. even after being such a big and amazing place it barely had customers!
"why arent there lots of people buying things from here? specially the pills and potions! i even saw a board saying that you will hire alchemists and forgers to custom make pills potions and weapons for customers and also supply the material but still there arent lots of people here?"
the lady who was smiling sighed. she was happy that someone had bought many things from their shop but she still didn't managed to hide the fact that their shop was declining.
"if you can share the cause then, though i wont force you. i was merely curious" faes wasn't going to bother about a business going down but this place had lots of beneficial things and of good quality! even the things they purchased would exceed five million points but the got in in 1.6 million hence she was curious.
"that- i don't have enough authority to tell that" the lady said
"its alright, i would love to come here again to buy things. and better than that why don't we sign a contract?" faes said. since this place was selling good quality items at low price then why wont she buy them?
"this- let me go contact our superior. please wait a moment" the lady said but a voice stopped her
"its alright you can go now. i will take over here"
an elf looking around fifteen or sixteen years old arrived in front of the group.
