After all the negotiations I had to do with Cinnamon, the Guild Master of the Fairy Guild branch in the Atlas Flower Garden Village in Avalon, we were able to register in this business. While we were here, we were going to hunt down some Owl Bears and help the people, while we also rack on the Spirit Coins, which I can even use in my Domain Shop! We also discovered that time goes faster in Avalon compared to Earth, so we can take it a bit easier, we’ll probably stay the night here and enjoy the moment while we can.
I mean, we’re finally in Avalon, a Realm I’ve been hearing about since forever! And now we are finally visiting it and learning about its many beautiful wonders, not just flying flowers though but all kind of other things, and especially of the people living here, which seemed kind of similar to Arcadia, but at the same time not too much.
While we registered, I was even given a little rune that makes me stronger as I grow in Ranks, which seemed pretty handy and a nice incentive to rack a lot of contribution, those Owl Bears were made for this.
Considering we were going to hunt likely hundreds of those monsters, we moved to sell the six that the Elisa, Monica, and Goldie hunted, after I asked them about it and they were fine with it… Of course, I didn’t ask Goldie, he’s my tamed monster so I don’t think I need his approval, and it isn’t like he cared about the corpses past the meat.
So, Cinnamon moved us to another room where there were several other people, mostly gnomes, doing a lot of butchering, also extracting usable materials from corpses, or even crafting equipment with it… It kind of reminded me of Arcadia, there’s systems and traditions that are very similar to it, but there’s also different things that made the place very unique.
At first they didn’t believe that we hunted six of them, even less when I wasn’t carrying anything with me either… However, the moment I opened my inventory and dropped all six Owl Bears onto the floor, they quickly realized I wasn’t messing around.
“Y-You got six of them for real?!”
“No way! And where did you store them?! I-Is that space magic?!”
The two old, gray-bearded gnomes, which seemed to be twins, were utterly flabbergasted by what they saw. I suppose that unlike in Arcadia, the existence of spatial inventories wasn’t common at all.
“Yeah… something like that,” I nodded. “Anyway, are they good to sell?”
I didn’t really want the conversation to devolve into talking about space magic or my inventory being the most awesome and terrifying thing in existence or something, nope, no thank you.
“Y-Yes! Yeah,” one of the gnomes said. “They’re… in perfect condition too?! Did these monsters really die? It is as if they were still sleeping! How did you kill them without damaging their bodies?”
“Ah, that…?” I wondered.
It was part of the Inventory Ability. Just like in BNLO, when you hunt a monster and get their corpse, any damage you caused to their body is simply rewritten as the corpse appears completely unscathed inside the inventory, all games do this because the corpse is considered an “item” or something.
The system simply autocorrects the data of the corpse item… it’s weird, Arcadia is certainly a real world, but it is also “digitized” by the power of the System, and things such as data do apply like in an actual video game, it’s a combination of both reality and virtual reality.
“Well, we were really gentle,” I said with a smile. “…Monica also has Death Element powers.”
“Oh, maybe they died with their souls crushed?! What a rough way to die… Haha.”
“She must be a little monster! People with such affinities is very rare, even more around here…”
“Is she a druid?” the brownie girl wondered. “I’ve never heard of druids with death affinity.”
“Yeah she is, she has a very unique Naturel Soul,” I explained. “And who says it’s rare? Death also a part of Nature itself, right? Anyway…”
“Ah, yes, right…”
“Let’s get this over with…”
“Hmm…”
The gnomes and the brownie calculated everything and then brought a bag with coins.
“Six Owl Bear corpses, five of them are in perfect condition, another of them had half of their meat stripped off very cleanly, but all other materials are usable… That would be around 420 spirit coins.” The brownie girl said. “Is it an acceptable price?”
“Y-Yes!” I nodded. “Thank you!”
Oh wow, it was more money than I imagined! They were the small coins, but that’s still a lot…
Wait.
“How much are these coins equivalent to the big ones I have?” I showed them.
“Wow you got the big ones?!”
“Usually those are only carried by nobility…”
“Big coins are worth a hundred coins.”
“Really?!” I gasped. “Makes sense why only one could give us everything that the chief said then! So with this I got four big coins… not bad! I’ll bring you a hundred more corpses later, so I hope you got the coins ready.”
“A hundred?! Hahah…”
“She’s really going for hunting more?”
“I think even with a big team that would be futile, Owl Bears are super strong!”
“Well you don’t know much about us either way, right?” Mark asked, shrugging. “Just wait and see, we’ll clear the forest of them.” He said confidently.
“Yep, no point in keeping them around either,” I nodded.
“Wait, if they’re so strong shouldn’t you offer more than ten coins per Owl Bear killed?” Katherine glared at them angrily.
“Look, you get that only for killing them, if you sell them to us then you can get even more,” explained Cinnamon. “It’s a fair business, those that are weak were never going to risk their lives fighting them anyway, but those strong could abuse it if the price was too high, hence why we decided on this method.”
“Hmm, not wrong…” I nodded. “I guess we are those that are too strong.”
“Yeah!” Gabriel said. “Hmm, I’m hungry though! Can’t we go eat already?”
“Sure, sure, let’s go then,” I nodded. “Thank you for everything, Cinnamon, everyone! We’ll come back later on.”
It was still pretty early in the day either way, so it was time to taste all the dishes they got here, which, as it turned out it was mostly a lot of sweets, candies, and baked goods.
Once we moved to the village after the guild stuff, we reunited with the rest of our friends and family, and we were able to taste what they had purchased from the various stalls.
We found a nice place where I asked if they could let us sit down, and after the people agreed, albeit confused, I created a large wooden table and chairs where we served all the food they got.
“Try these first, mom, they’re really good.”
My daughter gave me what seemed to be an apple-sized pot-shaped flower, inside there was something soft-looking, covered by colorful caramel.
With a wooden spoon, I ate a bit of it and realized what it was.
