Naturally, I accepted the quest as it is. After all, the reward for it is greater than I expected.
If my theory is correct, upgrading my source origin regeneration will also increase my capacity.
However increasing it right now will make me fall behind even more.
I'll just use it for upgrading the regeneration as we will be going on a dangerous mission.
On the other hand, this thing called the 'soul world', is it connected to that endless white space?
But considering that it imposes danger, there might be creatures there that could threaten one's life.
So unlike the endless white space, I'm guessing it's another world like a gate from a manhwa.
I'm finally going to experience something that most people can only see in a manhwa or read in novels and that is entering a gate.
The rest of the journey was quiet and peaceful, of course that also includes Amelia clinging to me while sleeping with her head on my shoulders.
One action could really change a person that much huh. Not only her but me too, to be honest I actually like it when she does this. It's adorable.

We arrived at the city gates and it was heavily guarded unlike the town.
There were three people next to the gate. One was at the first Phase, doing some paperworks and the other two at the peak of first Phase guarding the entrance.
This just shows how powerful this city is, it clearly lives up to its name as the largest city in the kingdom.
Everdale, a city being lead by someone at the peak of second Phase, most people wouldn't even dare to commit a crime here.
We entered with no difficulty as we passed through using a carriage after answering some questions.
As we got in the city we were immediately welcomed by a large trianglular road that gets thinner to the point of it being a normal one at the center.
On the sides of the streets were mostly shops, vendors, taverns and such. Also, the road was very clean and well maintained.
Naturally, the first thing we think of going to is an inn but most of them were located in the center of the city.
And as we also needed preparations before going to this so called soul world, we will be needing to stay for a few days.
The problem is the ones in the center are expensive and when we tried going to the cheap ones.
They were all fully booked, not a single one of them had room to spare.
"City Wide Announcement!"
A loud voice resounded throughout the city and this was probably an important one as almost all people went quiet in order to listen.
The city lord in this city is really respected by his people if I must say.
"Soul World, Terastria, Third Phase, has been found by searching through the soul gate.
The qualifications for participants must at least be at the second Phase in order to enter.
Please defeat the soul world before a world gateway happens.
I wish you all goodluck."
As the announcement finished, the people in the bustling streets became noisy, talking about the soul world.
Really, I need more information about this, and also third Phase? Wouldn't that be impossible for my current level?
But since it's part of the quest and Anaia is almost at the third Phase, we might just have the chance.
Also, I just need to help her, in other words follow her. I don't need to do anything grand such as defeating some final boss.
And so we decided to stay at the inn near the center of the city.
The city's structure was simple as it had only four main roads. When entering the city from the entrance, heading straight to the north will take you to the guild.
The city lord's manor was at the west side of the city.
However, since the city was quite popular, the only room they had available was a single room with four beds.
"It's bigger than I thought, I was thinking that it would be cramped but as expected of an expensive inn." Said Amelia as she observed the room and was followed by Anaia who talked about the cost.
"I agree but since the inn cost a lot, half a gold per person per day. We need to acquire money to pay for it."
"How are we going to earn money? Should we kill monsters and sell it at the guild?" Asked Amelia and I predict that's what we'll probably do.
And I was right.
"Yes, however the guild only buys origin beast that will be useful to them. That's why they list the origin beads they need and their price on a poster inside the guild on a board."
Right now, I wanted to ask Anaia about the soul world but I'll hold it for now, we need money to pay for the inn after all.
Although she's a former princess, she doesn't have infinite money on her.
"Okay, let's do that, then when shall we start?" I asked and Anaia paused before responding.
"Let's go to the guild tomorrow, it's already afternoon and it's dangerous hunting in the night.
Also, I think I should also tell you guys about the soul world so you'll know more about it.
But before that, let's all eat first and fill out stomachs."
