Chapter 613 A New Request
-----
"Oh! S-So Lady Faylen has given you the request to you… I did heard about Saphaley and saw him changed as well. It is amazing you were able to make an Elixir, Lady Sylphy…" Saphira said.
"Hahaha, it wasn\'t anything as big…" I said while pretending nothing big happened, when while looking for those materials we ended fighting a large quantity of powerful monsters and ultimately I found Nephi.
"Well, I suppose I can trust you this request. I remember you gave me that cream that helped my gills a bit, but I really need something better. Usually we Aquatic Anima live all over the continent. Being fully submerged in water is not always our preferred areas of rest. Although we often live near lakes or rivers, or even in port cities at the sea…" She sighed.
"Me and other people of my kin that live in here always suffer through summer, because this place of the country is always very dry. So I was requesting if it could be possible to get some item that could help us keep hydrated at… most of the day? Is it too much?" Saphira wondered.
"An item that can keep you hydrated all day?" I wondered. "Nah, that should be possible. Something like… an Aqua Ring could do, or an Aqua Bracelet."
"Huh? What are those?" Wondered Saphira.
"Special accessories that conjure specific water attribute spells. Do you not have any?" I wondered.
"We did but they were expendable, after some time they simply broke. Our magic alone can\'t be conjured at all times either, or we\'ll run out of Mana and get tired." Said Saphira.
"I see… Do you have any other ideas or suggestions?" I asked her.
"Hmmm… I don\'t really know. Perhaps some sort of specialized magical crystal? Other thing we thought was drinking a special potion." Saphira said. "But that wouldn\'t be good long term, as we would be too dependent on them, right? Oh, I\'ve heard there\'s Water-Attribute Materials in the Effervescent Lake to the west… to the other side of the forest. But it is too dangerous for me to go pick up materials…"
"Oh, that place…" Celeste said while nodding.
"Maybe we could go there to find some more materials then?" Mist wondered.
"I guess I\'ve gotten an idea of what could help make these items but… You only want one for you?" I asked.
"Well, of course, but it would be nice if you could give the recipe later to someone else, perhaps someone like Rock? He could make more." Said Saphira.
"Hm, I see. I guess I can do that." I nodded. "Is your family big, Saphira?"
"Erm… Well, there\'s my little siblings, they\'re three, and then my mom and dad… So we\'re actually six with me…" Saphira said.
"I see, well I\'ll make you six at the bare minimum then." I nodded.
"Six… of the accessories?!" She asked in surprise.
"Yeah, once we get all materials it shouldn\'t be hard enough. I won\'t be making the whole thing from scratch though, I\'ll use Alchemy to enchant already existing accessories I already bought at Rock\'s place." I said with a nod. "Don\'t worry about it.
"A-Alright… I can pay you right now, I trust the young lady." She said. "I know these things will be very expensive… But how costly would they be? I remember buying similar accessories that broke before, they usually lasted a few months before breaking, they usually cost 15000 to 20000 Gold each…" She sighed. "Thankfully my job pays well."
"Eh?! That\'s way too expensive! I can sell them all for 1k gold each, is that affordable enough?" I wondered.
"Huh?! Only one thousand?!" She asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I think that\'s enough, right? I don\'t think I should overvalue something I\'ll spend a few minutes making at most. The trip to the Lake will be nice as well, I was looking for some adventure. I\'ve heard that place connects to several rivers, and has a small dungeon known as the Fishman King\'s Lair, right? We\'ll go explore it then!" I said with a nod. I was already decided.
"T-That place has exquisite quality Water Spirit Stones!" Said Saphira. "And I\'ve heard the Aquatic Core of the Fishman King is a very rare and expensive item, it contains a lot of water attribute essence…" Sighed the girl. "If we could ever get there, we would be able to live more comfortably as well, but it is quite far away from here."
"Well, how about it guys?" I asked everyone else.
"I guess I\'m down." Zack said.
"Yeah, I want to stretch my legs a bit and hunt some more. Also that place is one we have yet to explore." Aquarina nodded.
"I\'m down for it too." Celeste agreed.
"I want to catch fish there! Can we?" Wondered Mist.
"I think we can." I said.
"I want to test my magic so I will accompany you too." Celica said.
And about Zephy…
"Adventure!"
I guess he really wanted to come as well.
"We\'ll have an adventure together?" He wondered innocently.
"Yeah, we\'ll go, all of us together. You make sure to stay with us, okay? Don\'t wander off anywhere else." I told him.
"I won\'t! Don\'t worry!" He said happily.
"Alright then, let\'s get to it." I said, quickly leading our party.
We told Saphira to just wait for us for either today or tomorrow, as we would be bringing her the accessories already made while we sell the recipe and materials to other crafters so they can easily mass produce them for the Aquatic Anima Population.
Like that, our adventure towards this dungeon we have yet to visit began. We made a quick turn back home to pack on some essentials and then we rushed back outside. This time we skipped the front and jumped over the walls, heh.
Ding!
