"Huh?" Fia after she opened her eyes made a small noise come out of her mouth, she found herself lying with a light black blanket on top of her, actually that was her cloak. She turned her head slightly and saw Maxwell sitting there looking at her with a doubtful look.
"Tell me, I know you want to ask me something." Fia stood up while talking to the gorilla all muscles and no brains.
"I'll be direct." Maxwell said.
"Shoot."
"What was that thing?"
"I don't know."
"Are you sure?"
"One hundred percent, it all happened in an instant but for me it seems like three years have passed, I felt my body overflowing with energy, I had never felt so full of energy. That power is scary besides the fact that it consumes an absurd amount of mana. It is a very strong power but it brings me close to death due to the consumption of mana, my mana regeneration does not keep up.
"But jokes aside it seems like an extremely strong power and useful that I can use."
Maxwell still looked doubtfully at Fia he knew that he had no bad intentions (in reality he suspected a lot of her but wanted to hide it) he had no choice but to passively accept what he said.
A few minutes walk and Fia recovered completely and stood up, from her bracelet she took out a green apple that seemed freshly picked, Fia took a bite of the apple.
'After eating the apple from the banquet this apple seems to have lost flavor but it is still good. Now that I think about it Ikar told me that I could be invited back to that banquet but first I will have to get stronger. Also the different information he gave me and the fact that I reached the E+ grade is very convenient. He also told me that to keep that shape constantly I have to be at least a C+ grade, a real pain in the ass.'
While thinking and eating that apple Fia put her hand on her side and shook her head slightly then turned her gaze slightly to Maxwell.
"Do you want one?" Fia asked Maxwell who shook his head, Fia took out another apple.
Maxwell took a light bite and then said: "Harsh!"
A laugh could be heard from Fia who was dying and had her hands near her stomach as she doubled over from laughing then with tears in her eyes said: "You are such an idiot, you can tell that that apple is not mature, it does not smell sweet at all and it is not hard what an idiot you are."
Fia lightly teased Maxwell who turned red from embarrassment.
Fia approached the demon's dead and burned body, his body was ruined and immersed in a pool of black blood, his face was missing the two red eyes, one of his arms was torn off due to a blow from Fia, his chest was completely open.
Fia's gaze fell on the black sword. '[Analysis]'
[Sword Name: None
Description: A black sword forged by a low-caliber demon blacksmith, it has nothing special it is the simple result of failures. This sword is at a standstill it cannot improve it is destined to be destroyed]
"Huh?" Fia's black eyes widened as she read the description, it was not the first time she read a description like that but it still felt strange to her, Fia shortly after began to collect the demon's materials as if it were a cat playing with a ball of yarn.
After finishing and putting the materials in the item box the two continued walking.
The road after the demon room wasn't very steep or bumpy and it was easy to go along, there was no need for Fia to use magic to make light.
"I want to ask you a question."
"Uf, you really like asking questions that we ended up in a detective novel?" Fia said slightly annoyed putting her hands behind her head.
Maxwell didn't pay much attention and said: "I'm curious to know something, do you live on a farm?"
"Huh?" Fia slightly turns her head with a confused look towards Maxwell then immediately looks forward and raises her head as if she were indifferent.
"If you can call it that, the Redwood family owns several lands, you can say that I am a noble but only in name we do not have the noble powers also I refused the noble title. Our family has managed lands in the kingdom of Aurant for generations, a maritime kingdom but also full of lakes and rivers a place extremely favorable to fishing and agriculture. A kingdom mostly made up of farmers, in fact if you go to visit it almost all the lands are fields, this is due to the incredible fertility and richness of the soil, there are rice fields, huge expanses of tomatoes, vegetable gardens.
"There is also a large forest where the elves live we do a lot of trading with them and the elves take the trouble to temporarily host outside guests, I'll be honest but their forest is enchanting, it's kept with a lot of care and in autumn when the leaves turn gold and brown they fall it seems like another world that forest. The elven race is mystical but also the most similar to ours and yet the holy empire of Ruberios branded them as heretics which is a problem because the bishops or other religious officials they would kill elves, fortunately for now they have no intention of killing other elves otherwise an event similar to the 100 cleansing crusades of Ruberios would be triggered again ."
"And you reveal this information to me for free?" Maxwell asked surprised.
"It's not that secret, also the Redwood brand is almost everywhere in the Aurant kingdom, the thing that surprises me is that you didn't know about the hundred crusades, which is a very important event in history." Fia replied, turning to Maxwell and starting to walk backwards.
The two stopped talking and continued at a quick and rapid pace, after a bit of zig-zagging they arrived at the end of that long tunnel.
