Chapter 1623: Back To The Fairy Guild

—–

“Ah thank you everyone, we’re back! We’ve managed to subjugate the majority of the Owl Bears, perhaps less than fifty are left in that forest,” Elayne explained. “We’ve also managed to find out the origin of why there were so many Owl Bears to begin with.”

“Really? What was it?”

“Wait, you can’t be serious! You defeated over a thousand Owl Bears?!”

“There’s no way, where are their corpses at?”

“Wait, what was the origin then? What did you find Lady Elayne?”

Both the soldiers and the farmers passing by all got really interested…

“Well, that’ll be told to everyone later, we must first report to miss Cinnamon,” Elayne said. “Now, please excuse me.”

Elayne and her party made their way inside the village, walking through its streets as they saw people and spirits living in harmony, laughing, talking, sometimes having heated discussions, but there was still a certain harmony that not even Arcadia had.

The houses also shone brightly at night, decorated with luminescent flowers, colorful moss, and spirit crystals that made the entire scene even more magical than Elayne imagined.

“We’re back!” Elayne said, entering the Fairy Clan building, which was small and cramped, not all her friends could come along, so she only entered with Mark and Katherine.

“Ah, it’s the humans…”

“They’re back this late?”

“What’s going on?”

The people working until late inside looked exhausted, they had so much paperwork, it was almost ridiculous to believe they have the same jobs that humans complain about back on Earth.

“Yes, we’ve subjugated almost all the Owl Bears,” Elayne said. “I believe we’ve managed to prune at least over ninety percent of their numbers. Almost a thousand have been slain, we also discovered the thing behind this entire ordeal. Is Cinnamon available for a private meeting?”

“Y-Yes, we’ll call her!”

“Wait, did you hear what she said?”

“T-They slain one thousand Owl Bears?”

“That’s simply impossible!”

“What…? But could it be true?”

“She sounded really confident to me, I don’t know…”

As Elayne heard everyone talking, a fairy quickly flew down and called for Elayne’s party.

“Master Cinnamon is available; you can come to their office.”

“Thank you.”

They made their way inside of Cinnamon’s small office, as the fairy greeted them with her usual expressionless face, although her eyes seemed skeptical.

“Hello Elayne and friends. So you’re telling me you slew one thousand Owl Bears? How do you expect me to believe that? Maybe you managed to hunt down a few… I bet fifty at most, but one thousand? That’s simply…”

“Please believe me, we can walk outside, and I will show you the result of our efforts,” Elayne smiled gently.

“…Okay? Sure, let’s see if that’s even true,” Cinnamon rolled her eyes, unable to believe what Elayne was saying.

Elayne walked outside, where Cinnamon met the rest of her team, her eyes widened. They were all immensely powerful despite being humans. Their auras were warped, twisted with both powerful otherworldly elements and spiritual energies.

However, Cinnamon remained skeptical, as Elayne opened a small black gate to her inventory, and started dropping the corpses, in perfect condition thanks to her Game-like Inventory turning anything inside into a perfect condition item, over the entire empty grasslands surrounding the Fairy Guild Building.

“That’s… a lot… okay, so that’s more than fifty…”

“Wait you hunted a hundred. That’s impressive.”

“…No, three… hundred?”

“When is it ending?! This is…!”

“O-One thousand? Is this one thousand?!”

Cinnamon’s face changed over time, until Elayne finally placed all the corpses, covering several hundreds of meters around them… indeed, it was a massive quantity of them.

“Yeah, with this we got meat for years,” laughed Elayne. “It wasn’t just me, everyone helped in the hunting. You say we were rewarded based on how many we hunted, right? Is this enough proof to you, Cinnamon? We want our rewards now, as promised.”

“A-Ah…! This is…” Cinnamon’s eyes seemed to be filled with despair and shock for a moment, before she calmed down and tried to regain her composure. “…I understand. You have… certainly proven yourself competent with this. You’re not just some random, weird Druids, you’re actually… incredible warriors. Are you sure you’re not Human Champions? I remember hearing tales about certain, exceptional humans that were hailed as Champions. In the past, King Arthur once visited this place, one of such Champions.”

“King Arthur was real?!” Mark was surprised.

“Yeah! Didn’t you know?” Katherine said. “Merlin, his master, is also King Oberon’s son.”

“…” Mark and the rest of the group gasped in disbelief.

Existences such as Arthur, Merlin, and various other figures of legend or myths… they might as well be all real, something only thought as speculative before, or a mix between fiction and unrelated historical figures.

“Anyhow…” Cinnamon sighed. “Okay, I’ll go calculate how much we can pay, but mind you, we might not be able to give you all the money promised because our banks only have so much money.”

“That’s totally understandable, I wasn’t looking to make you bankrupt either,” Elayne said. “We could exchange what’s missing with other rewards, or perhaps just more contribution points or items.”

“Hah, you’re draining us dry, but this is a decree of the King himself, we’ll simply be paying off his pocket,” said Cinnamon. “Don’t worry, it’s not too hard to get more money, there’s relics we can use for that.”

“Okay then!” Elayne nodded. “But even then, it won’t be easy right?”

“No, it could take us the whole night until tomorrow, but I know you’ll be moving tomorrow, so I suppose it’s an all-nighter for me…” Cinnamon sighed.

“I’m sorry about that…” Elayne apologized, feeling bad about Cinnamon looking tired, she quickly gave her an elixir, which was made using her blood sap and other ingredients extracted from the Forest of Beginnings. “Please take this.”

“This is…?” Cinnamon asked.

“It’s a special Elixir made using various precious materials, it’ll help you stay energtic, awake, and you won’t even feel tired,” said Elayne with a smile.

“Wow… well, let’s see,” Cinnamon drank the thing, licking her little lips. “Hmm, it was tasty, but- Oh?!”

She was immediately invigorated!
