Chapter 139 Small Town, Caravan

"We are newly ascended people from Gravel realm," Arkhen said with a faint smile. "This is the first town in this realm that we encountered. So we don't have any other purpose than just learning more about the 1st realm and settling ourselves."

"Oh… Welcome to the 1st realm, humans. This town comes under the Bariat Kingdom. It's a mixed kingdom where all races are allowed. We hope you enjoy your stay here," one of the guards said with a big smile as his tail wagged slightly.

The guards opened the path and let Arkhen, Emily, and Azela inside the town.

When they entered the town, they saw people of different races walking on the streets. Although there were not many people, the town still felt lively.

The houses and buildings were made of strong types of wood and stones with aesthetic designs.



After roaming for a bit, they went to an inn restaurant in the town to eat the food. However, when they looked at the menu, Arkhen, Emily, and Azela were surprised.

"This is interesting. Let's order and see the effects," Arkhen said with a grin as he ordered some food.

Ten minutes later, all the dishes they ordered arrived.

Arkhen, Emily, and Azela picked up the fork to cut off a part of the first dish. It was like a steak with seasonings and some other unrecognizable veggie.

In the next second, their bodies felt a bit hot before a sense of increased vigor filled them up.

[You have gained a buff for one hour: low-grade health recovery]

Then they moved on to taste another dish.

[You have gained a buff for one hour: low-grade ice resistance]

[You have gained a buff for one hour: low-grade strength boost]

[You have gained a buff for one hour: low-grade agility boost]



Since they had ordered six different dishes, they got six buffs.

The food was also very delicious such that Azela couldn't help but wryly smile, "The food I make is not as tasty as the food here."

"It will be," Emily said as she finished the last piece of meatball wrapped in some green leaf with seasonings. "You can simply learn and use ingredients here to cook food. It will definitely taste just as great if not better and also get buffs."

Suddenly, the two people at the table next to them started laughing. One of them was a Human, and another was a hobgoblin. Hobgoblins were born from goblins and Orcs breeding, so they were like goblins appearance-wise but taller and muscular like orcs. But still less ugly and smarter than Orcs.

After they laughed a bit, the man who looked to be in his late twenties said as he looked at Arkhen and others, "Our bad. My name is Neil. It seems that you are new in the realm, which explains your lack of knowledge. Sorry for the laugh.

"Anyway, to cook the food with buff effects is not that easy since you need to learn the method of extracting unique properties of ingredients when preparing them to cook," Neil said with a smile.

"If you want to learn, you can head to the Bariat kingdom and join the school of Cooking there. But I'm telling you, it is expensive. So better gather some money," the Hobgoblin said with a grin.

"I see. Thanks for the info," Arkhen said as he grinned back at them. "I wanted to ask another thing. Where do you sell the bodies of dire beasts if they are sellable?"

"Hmm, this town doesn't have an adventure guild because it's small and doesn't qualify for it. In this part of the area, you can only go to the Bariat Kingdom's capital town to sell things and learn more.

"This small town is more like a vacation place for adventurers and other folks who comes here to hunt some beasts and gather natural resources like plants, flowers, fruits, and such in the Lom Frigid Forest," Neil said.

"Lom Frigid Forest… It must be the forest down the cliff when we first arrived here," Azela said with a thoughtful expression. They didn't go in that direction because it was a thick and big forest filled with strong dire beasts.

"Yeah, that one. It's rare to see people ascending at that spot," the Hobgoblin nodded as he ate a chunk of meat holding a big bone of some animal. "People go there to gather things and then stay in the town to take a break and rest before returning to the kingdom's capital town to sell things or complete the missions if they took one."

"Then we should start moving to the kingdom. What do you say?" Emily said as he looked at Arkhen.

"Eh, don't make a mistake of moving in your little group of three," Niel said while shaking his head. "If you encounter bandits or people of vile clans on the way, they will strip you naked and steal all of your things. It can be worse than death sometimes."

"Wait for the Kingdom's caravan to arrive here. They will come here to provide necessities to the town tomorrow morning. We and some other people will leave with them back to the kingdom's capital. That's how you travel to the kingdom from here" said the Hobgoblin with a wide grin. "By the way, my name is Jakal."



They talked for a while as they became acquaintances and got to know some things.

To pay for the food, Arkhen had spent 1 reality mote to get a crate of low-grade energy stones in his inventory to pay the bill for the food before he, Emily, and Azela booked a room in an inn to stay the night.

Naturally, the three of them entered the Mystic Realm from there and entered the Aerzax castle even though it was still just roughly 7 PM in the evening.

Arkhen didn't take out his big castle ship to travel because it would attract the attention of many, and he didn't want that while he was still weak.

While the three of them were inside the mystic realm and having fun on the bathing floor, the ball with big cute eyes and wings was floating in the inn's room.

Velshi couldn't move while Arkhen was inside the Mystic Wonderland. So this method couldn't be used to travel secretly.

After all, the system was inside Arkhen, and Arkhen was inside the Mystic realm, which was the system's function. So, the last location from where he entered Mystic Wonderland was recorded as stationery as the system avatar just stayed there and couldn't move.



Arkhen, Emily, and Azela had fun for 12 hours, from 7 in the evening to 7 in the morning.

Emily also finally lost her virginity as she tasted the ultimate pleasure of Arkhen and officially became a straight woman as Arkhen fully cured her of her trauma of men due to her childhood experience.

Emily and Azela were sleeping due to exhaustion because Arkhen drove them mad in pleasure, while Arkhen came out in the morning to leave the town with the Caravan.

[My lord, the Deck of Mystic Cards took a bit longer but it is also ready now. Also, you should check out the quests].

'Alright, I'll do that on the way.'

As Arkhen left the inn, he saw many people gathered near the entrance of the town. After going there, he saw a big caravan with four majestic big white horses attached to a large royal carriage.

Those four horses were actually near the peak of 2nd-grade beasts!

[Razor Flourin Horse]

-Dire Beast ~ 2nd Grade

-Life: [1,715,000/1,715,000]

-Stamina: 298 (+23)

-Agility: 298 (+23)

-Strength: 298 (+23)

-Constitution: 292 (+23)

-Soul: 12 (+11)

-EP: 297,682

The front four horses attached to the largest carriage were powerful, but the other horses pulling the other two smaller empty cargo carriages were not as strong. Those horses were 1st Grade beasts of the same species.

"Arkhen!"

Arkhen turned in the direction of the voice and saw Neil and Jakal standing five meters away from the carriage. Twelve more people were standing in smaller groups at different places outside.

Arkhen walked towards Neil and Jakal and nodded as a greeting. "So this is the caravan. Did some royalty of the kingdom arrive here? Because that carriage at the front looks very much royal."

The front carriage was made of redwood with golden platings and exquisite dark gold designs.

"Yep. The grand Duke's son and daughter are in that carriage. They just met with the town chief and handed over the supplies. I was going to call you since it's almost time to leave, but you arrived at a perfect time," Neil said.

"Where are your wives?" Jakal asked in confusion.

"They are with me, but you can't see them," Arkhen said with a faint smile.

"Huh?"

Jakal and Neil were confused but since Arkhen didn't elaborate, they didn't press further about it.

After a few minutes…

*Neigh-heh-heh-heh….*

The horses neighed as they slowly made a turn, ready to leave.

"Come on, hop on to those empty cargo carriages or fly alongside them if you can keep up," Neil said as he unfurled black feathered wings from his back using some power and flew up.

Jakal walked forward and jumped on the cargo carriage as he couldn't fly for longer periods of time like Neil.

Neil's wings were bloodline-related and didn't consume energy to fly unless he wanted to boost his flight speed. It was similar to Arkhen's purple-star wings.

The other twelve people also jumped on the cargo carriages while only Neil floated in the air.

But Arkhen had another plan. He smiled and called out his majestic mount beast, Tasich Wolf!
