Chapter 911 The Famous Young Lady Of The Adventurer Guild
-----
Once we made our way back home, we were exhausted beyond belief, even me! We walked across the city's streets at night, admiring the beautiful stars and the full moon, as we walked inside of the Adventurer Guild while eating some night ice cream.
The moment we stepped in, we were greeted by dozens of Adventurers who were celebrating another day of work, drinking beer, eating good food, and so on. The huge Adventurer Guild Building tripled as both a Bar and also an Inn, so it was always really full at night, with people enjoying a drink before hitting the bed.
Adventurers were an important part of Agartha's economy, as these lands were not so fertile before my mom and I started to modify the land and enrich it with life. But what they always had were forests filled with monsters and rare materials.
Therefore, Adventurers, Hunters, Apothecaries, and Expert Gatherers made up a large part of this city's economy, and still do. They hunted monsters, gathered resources, and sold these materials across many other cities. This, in succession, also created an interest of other cities on this small, countryside town.
It has changed a lot since my mother became its governor though, we've got a proper production of resources now in huge fertile lands, our knight squads have been steadily growing to defend the city, and also we've raised a lot of soldiers as well.
Now, what we really need is to establish firmer and better connections with other cities, to constantly exchange products that aren't just rare materials we occasionally find sometimes, but a proper resource everyone needs daily, which will create a constant income.
In exchange we'll also get things we cannot easily mass produce here at a cheaper price too, both cities benefiting one another, or many at the same time...
"Oh, it's the young lady and her friends!"
"Young Lady Sylphy, good night!"
"Isn't it a bit late for you to be awake though?"
"Oi, don't treat her like a kid! She's a full-fledged hero now!"
"Were you on the dungeon again today? You guys are going to leave us jobless if you keep hunting everything over there!"
"Hahaha, yeah, sorry about that." I laughed a bit. "But it's not like many of you guys could clear the dungeon or even beat the boss, so I don't think you would mind?"
"Hey, she's sharp-tongued..."
"Ouch..."
"W-Well, we try, sometimes!"
"Yeah, yeah~" As I laughed, we walked towards the receptionist, the beautiful Saphira, a Mermaid or Fish Anima greeted our sight with a happy smile.
"Good work today as well! I assume you brought the usual!" She said, rubbing her hands with some cream to remain moist.
"Yep!" I said, as I quickly summoned Gluttony, the Mimic opened his massive jaws, letting out a huge pile of materials we didn't need and would sell.
There were hundreds of scales, bones, magic crystals, eyes inside of jars, and other special materials, there were also some rare ores such as Mithril and Water Spirit Crystals, which grow constantly inside the dangerous Dungeon not many dare step into aside from the first floors, which we usually ignore.n-/o/)V--e/(l-.b))1(-n
"Ooh, high quality Sea Snake scales! A-And the Eyes of the Fishman King- Variant?! Red Eyes?!" Saphira was amazed.
"Oh yeah, we fought a Super Rare Variant today!" Zack celebrated, his voice was always so loud everyone heard him.
"A Super Rare Variant? It exists?!"
"What beast did you fought now, you monster kids?!"
"Did he said a Super Rare Variant?! Is that a thing?"
"Yep, it was Berserk Fishman King Variant." Celeste smiled. "It had the ability to go Berserk and gain a lot of power, and even a crimson-colored aura he could control and change shapes. It was as deadly as a Tier 8 Peak Rank Monster... If not kissing the Realm of Tier 9s."
"W-Wha...?"
"There's such a monster near our city...?"
"It is so rare that it probably has never been documented."
"These brats are the only crazy enough to fight the Fishman King like five times a week and defeat him all five times... It wouldn't be weird if variants never reported before were to appear because the Boss keeps respawning." One of the more experienced Adventurers spoke, an old-looking dwarf with a long black beard and an eyepatch. "Impressive, oh, and that Mithril too! It looks just freshly created by the Dungeon!"
He quickly stepped in to see the ores we brought, Saphira was a bit annoyed, but didn't stopped him. Although he was a seasoned adventurer, he was also an important member of this Adventurer Guild.
"Guild Master why won't you go sit down for a bit? This is MY job! You always take whatever you want and then it becomes harder to calculate all the prices!" Saphira crossed her arms and reprimanded the old dwarf.
"Come on lass, leave me check em' for a bit at least!" The Dwarf Man laughed, his actual name was Darfu, the Adventurers Guild Master of Agartha. Someone as strong as the mightiest Warriors out there that has retired himself from the days of battle and adventure to live in this peaceful countryside town for a couple of decades now. Dwarves live long, similarly to elves, although not as much. "Aye ma'am, I'll have to buy you this Mithril again! My lil' cousin has just begun grabbin' the hammer and he'll be happy to know his old uncle sent em' some good materials!"
"Ohhh! Alright then!" I smiled. "The usual price then? You know that the price increases if I sell it exclusively to you, business is business after all, Mister Guild Master."
"Aye... This lass' as cheeky as her mom." Laughed Darfu, quickly taking out a Dimensional Pouch and giving me a huge bag of coins. "There ye go, this at least for the five kilograms I'm holdin'."
"Thank you for your preference~" I giggled, quickly beginning to count the coins, until I made sure they were accurate and then placed them inside of Glutton, who ate them happy.
"Woah that's a lot of money!" Zack complained. "Do we get a share?"
"Sylphy mined these herself so you don't get any share." Aquarina crossed her arms.
"Aw man..." Zack sighed. "Well, I did brought some of my stuff too. I hope it's enough money."
"For what?" Mist wondered.
"A little thing... I won't say, it's a big secret." Zack smiled, crossing his arms prideful.
"Hoh?" Celeste seemed interested.
"Oh my, this Romeo is planning something!" Saphira entered the conversation.
"Isn't he? He has gotten much more thoughtful, I bet it's something for Mist, he loves to spoil her and give her all sorts of gifts." I laughed. "Lately she has so many clothes we had to order her a new closet."
"H-Hey! Cut it off!" Zack groaned, blushing a lot.
"Youth these days... At your age I was just huntin' and eating monsters, not in love or whatever... Well, I've never been good at romance and whatnot. "Anyways, yer racking a lot of coins lass, are ya planning on buildin' your own city or what?" Laughed Darfu.
"Hmm, something like that." I nodded, rubbing my chin.
"PPFFFF..!"
The majority of the adventurers ended spitting the beer they were drinking.
"Wait, seriously?!" Darfu asked in shock. "Oh damn... That's bold of ye!" He started laughing.
"Well, it's a distant dream for now." I smiled. "Oh, is your cousin living nearby?"
"He's currently at Azurite Port and-"
"Ah, r-right!" Saphira suddenly gave me a letter. "Today we received a letter from Azurite! It's for you and your mom, Sylphy!"
"Oh?"
