"Here it is..."
"What are you doing?"
"I can become stronger by taking the Mana Core from monsters and eating them. I can also save their corpses to sell in a city."
"I see".
It's been about an hour since Valery decided to come with me.
Of course having company was quite nice, we can talk about any random topic or even just walk around in comfortable silence.
I guess my days as a lone vampire lord are over.
"woof"
huh?
"Fenrir what's up?" I asked my pet who was holding an already dead rabbit in her mouth.
"Did you marry him?" I asked to which he only barked in confirmation.
"Good boy, I'll make sure to save it for the night" and with those words I caressed his head a little, keeping the rabbit in the dimensional storage.
"Valery, do you know how to enter the city?"
"I don't know" was his short answer.
I guess spending so much time as a slave he never knew the entry procedures.
I suppose that once we are there I will come up with something to enter.
Now the only problem is money.
The unit of money in this world from what Valery explained to me is the Zenis, from what I could understand the zeni would have a value similar to the peso.
That is to say several from 10 to 2 thousand or more if necessary.
We currently have about 10,000 zenis after going through the slave trader's belongings.
That?
We just check his body what's wrong with that. Anyway, right now I stopped considering myself a human or good, not mentally, I still have a certain morality rooted in my body.
"Something happens?"
"Eh? Ah, no, I just kept thinking about something unimportant" I said quickly to Valery who nodded his head.
Looking around I don't see any roads anywhere.
It seems that those slave traders had entered the forest to cut time.
Surely in the process they were detected by a monster and pursued later.
"Where is the road?"
"It will appear if we keep walking" said Valery who was covered by a brown cloak that the subject I eliminated had previously.
"Okay we'll continue walking" I said with a sigh as I lazily walked through the trees next to this elf.
But in the meantime let's see the state of her.

...
wow...
It seems that her condition is all in order now.
Even now her stats are returned with all of his abilities.
Now it may be easier to face monsters although I'm surprised it's so strong.
Not surprising though since Valery is a high elf and I guess she must be superior to others of her own race.
"Valery can I ask you a question."
"Yeah".
"Have you ever trained or fought before?" Before my question Valery remained pensive for a few seconds.
The reason I asked this was out of simple curiosity.
She wanted to confirm whether those skills and status were from birth or acquired after training.
"No... I've never been in a battle before."
So those skills and stats are naturally.
"I see" I said bringing a hand to my chin and starting to get into my thoughts.
As we continued walking, time passed without anything interesting.
Only halfway there Fenrir was tired of walking so now he himself was sleeping peacefully in my arms.
I can't wait for it to evolve and reach the second stage, I'm sure that when that happens I'll be able to ride a wolf.
Snarl!
Although I guess now it's time for a little meal.
"Let's stop here to rest and eat something" I said as I left Fenrir in the shadow of a tree.
"Okay" Valery said as if he had received an order which annoyed me a bit.
"Valery, you can be more open, you are no longer a slave you are someone free you can say what you want and do what you want" I said calmly.
Although I said that, I saw how the elven woman had lowered her head from him.
This will take a while.
"Now how about we cook something, you can go get some firewood while I start getting everything ready," I offered.
Valery nodded again, beginning to head towards the forest in search of dry branches.
I hope Valery can change and be more expressive. Although who am I to talk.
In my previous world I was never one to talk a lot with others and prefer to isolate myself from others but even I know when it's necessary to just talk to someone.
