Chapter 1088 Back Home
I decided to leave a few more books about magic and also a bestiary that included the common monsters of this dungeon, so both Selene and Ivy could learn to improve their abilities and teaching capabilities.
"Alright, so Ivy, if you want to help, try to get friendly with everyone here and seek the hunters to teach them your ways." I told her. "You should also hunt a few things to show them too."
"Sure! Leave it to me boss." She already was calling me boss.
"I\'m sure Selene can introduce you better to the place, right?" I asked Selene.
"Of course my goddess! No problem." Selene nodded happily. "Let\'s become good friends, Ivy!"
"S-Sure!" Ivy blushed a lot after hearing Selene.
Sadly for her, Selene seemed to be really aromantic, so she didn\'t really even blush after being called a cutie by Ivy…
"Anyways, Selene your duties, follow them as you\'ve always done. But this time spend some of your time learning magic from these books, and once you\'re confident, try to teach it to someone once the research center is open." I said. "I\'ll be visiting soon, maybe in a couple of weeks to see the results."
"Very well then, Goddess Sylphy! I wish you a good travel." She said.
"Are you leaving already? Come on, let\'s drink a few drinks together at least!" Ivy complained, dragging me towards her.
"D-Drinks? I don\'t know if I am old enough for that yet…" I sighed. "Also I think it\'s getting late and Aquarina\'s going to complain that I was inside the dungeon for too long…"
"Ugh, okay goddess, you can go then…" Ivy glanced at Selene and patted her shoulders. "At least I\'ve got this other eye candy."
Leaving them to their own devices, I quickly walked away from the dungeon, landing inside the camp I was just some hours ago. Aquarina was already awake, meditating over the bed cross-legged. Based in the streams of Mana coursing through her body, she was cultivating her physique.
"Hey, I\'m back."
"Sylphy?"
Aquarina\'s eyes opened, releasing bright flashes of blue light, she quickly got up and hugged me, greeting me rather happily instead of angrily because I was gone.
"Where were you? In the dungeon again? You know you could invite me inside of it too, right?" She pouted; her hug became increasingly strong.
"Ugh… I-I know, but its quicker if I do things there myself- Ouch, your hug is too hard!" I cried, as Aquarina kept hugging me like a bear.
"You deserve a very strong hug for just disappearing out of nowhere! Take this!" She said, while playfully biting my neck. "Nom, nom!"
"Hahaha! Okay, I\'m sorry, I brought you something as a gift though." I said, quickly taking out a bag with medicinal herbs.
"Medicinal herbs? Oh, I\'ve never seen these!" She started checking them. "Wait, what is THIS thing though?" She took out a red and blue colored fruit from the bag.
It was around the size of a strawberry, and it had both blue and red colors intermixing together, it had a slight Aura of Mana and Lifeforce. This was without a doubt, an hybrid fruit.
"This is a Hybrid fruit between Naturia\'s Mana Fruit and my Fruits of Wisdom." I explained. "Alongside restoring around 4000 MP, it can also restore roughly 2000 HP right away once consumed, it also restores Stamina and gives a buff to magic spell power! Pretty amazing, right?"
"This is insane…" Aquarina gulped saliva. "So you can even merge and hybridize those fantastical fruits your skills or spirits can produce?! This could bring a whole revolution to the entire world of medicine and buffing items- Hell, with enough of these even normal people could hunt Monsters up to Tier 3 or even 4 without even having Awakened any sort of Physique or Magic Circle…"
"Nah I think you\'re overexaggerating a bit-"
"And that\'s without even considering the equipment you can make!" She said.
"Come on now, I don\'t plan to make any of the things I make widespread for now. I only sell normal fruits and veggies. And normal medicinal herbs that are already well known." I said. "Perhaps I might produce more of the rare ones which are more expensive, but I am well aware of these fruits\' powers. They\'re just for family and friends, don\'t worry."
"Hmm, well, alright." She sighed. "I\'ll happily keep this bag though, I think I will practice my elixir making techniques now!"
"Now? Then let me stay so we can do it together." I said.
"That would be nice, but if you help me out too much, I won\'t be able to learn on my own though…" Aquarina said, looking into my eyes.
"Is that so?" I wondered. "I guess you\'re not wrong in that… Then I\'ll simply watch- Oh, I do have a few things I need to prepare myself too. Like the generic accessories to boost stats that I\'ll be renting."
"Oh right! You were going to do that." Aquarina nodded. "For Luck, right?"
"Not just for him, for everyone. Most of the time I make strong equipment but they always have very big restrictions. The more restrictions an item has, the more stats seem to be able to be allocated. But I need to find a way to make it the other way around for these rentable items. While still having some sort of special Runic Circuit inside that bond them to my soul, so whenever I rent them. I\'ll know where they are and if someone tries to run away with them, I can just track them and find them." I smiled. "Like the idea?"
"You always come out with crazy ideas that somehow work out at the end…" Aquarina was slightly surprised, giggling. "Sure, I\'ll also surprise you with what I\'ll make!"
"Oh, what are you planning?" I wondered.
"A special item to boost cultivation speed!" She said. "Just wait and see."
