Chapter 580 Scale
Chapter 580 Scale
In the tavern in the western district of Vera City, a group of people was celebrating their successful dungeon exploration.
They have collected plenty of precious materials and even found an extremely rare herb that can be used to create a Tier 4 Pill. It can be sold for tens of thousands of gold.
The person who had found this herb was Cedric so everyone at their party was giving him a toast.
"It's our first time earning this much money in one exploration… We should really do this often, don't you think so?" Yvette asked as she poured another cup of alcohol for herself.
Cedric and Yvette were two people that were involved with Vincent back in the Tudor Kingdom. With a mutual friend, Cedric and Yvette easily became friends as they built a team to explore the nearby dungeons during their free time.
Even though they have regular jobs in the city, it wasn't a big deal to skip a few days as long as they were going to explore dungeons or exterminate the surrounding Savage Beasts…
After all, Savage Beasts have an incredible reproduction rate, especially in places with a rich concentration of Mana.
"Fine… Let's do this again next week… Are you saving up for something?" Cedric asked as he believes that Yvette has plenty of money right now. Instead of constantly exploring dungeons and risking getting injured, she should be spending some of her money right now… Unless she wanted to purchase something he wasn't aware of.
"Yes… I want to buy my personal airship." Yvette revealed. She spoke in a soft voice since there are many people within the tavern.
Cedric and the others were stunned after hearing this.
"What? Are they even selling those?"
"I haven't heard anything about that… Is that true?"
"Tell me, how much should we save for one, Beautiful and Finest Yvette…"
As expected, her members were also interested in it as she replied.
"It's not available yet. However, one of the engineers working on the project is one of my friends. I heard from him that he's saving his money to buy one of his own. They're developing two types of airships. One for military use and one for public or personal use."
"Amazing… Now, tell us how much should we save." Cedric asked.
Yvette didn't keep them in suspense as she replied.
"Hmmm… Three hundred thousand Mana Crystals."
"What?! So cheap?"
All of them exclaimed in unison. They were expecting half a million or even more than that. After all, they have seen how awesome those third-generation Aircraft are.
It wasn't just the speed but also how tough it was. It was like a flying fortress capable of decimating hundreds of Savage Beasts at once.
They have seen some of them exterminating Savage Beasts Outbreak in nearby regions and stopping disasters from happening.
"Well, the equipment will be sold separately so you have to ready your pockets..." Yvette added.
Cedric and others finally understood the reason for pricing… Needless to say, everyone would start saving now and think of buying them once they're available to the public.
With this in mind, everyone was already thinking about how to earn more money in the next few months.
On the next day, as their group was thinking of meeting up again to discuss their next exploration, an urgent message from the Kayser Tower disrupted their plans.
"Nidite City is in danger?" Yvette frowned after getting the message from the Tower.
There are only a few forces that can threaten that fortified city… After it was besieged by the Sea Race, it had undergone massive changes and built a mage tower comparable to Kayser Tower.
She also heard that Vincent sold firearms to that city so they should be considered strong right now.
Aside from that, Lola had also contracted to a few Celestial Beings and they're protecting the city… Lastly, the previous Tower Lord was supposedly in that city…
'Is it the Black Magic Organization again? Aren't they getting tired?' Yvette sighed at this since she believes that the organization had incurred massive damages after failing to destroy Vera City several times.
In addition to that, the current Tower Lord is still actively opposing them so they shouldn't have the time to bother their region.
Soon, Yvette attended the briefings of many team leaders…
There, she learned that two battalions of soldiers will be sent to Nidite City… The number of Celestials who will be joining them was a secret but what was reassuring to hear was the squad of Tempest 1 that will be supporting them from the sky.
With the third-generation light aircraft watching them from above, they felt more confident joining the defense.
There was even a rumor that the Mythical Beast Dragon of the Lake would be joining them.
During the meeting, Yvette also met familiar faces in the briefing hall.
After everything was announced, it felt like a reunion so she was only able to leave after almost an hour. In any case, the siege is expected to happen in six days so they still have some time to prepare, one day to be exact.
Everyone had also received their advanced payment so they could purchase whatever items they need. Although there are supplies that are going to be sent as well, it was better if they have their own equipment to use.
Yvette went to the fourth branch of the Beacon Magic Shop since there weren't many people coming there. It was simply because most of the entertainment establishments were in the northern district.
The southern district mostly has factories. Whether it was for garment, carpentry, or steelworks, it was mostly here in this district.
She soon found the Magic Shop and as expected, there weren't many people inside.
"Yvette…"
Suddenly, she heard a soft female voice on her left side. She immediately recognized the voice as she looked at her.
"Lesley? Are you also preparing for the expedition?" Yvette asked with a smile. Her Marshall Clan and Lesley's Zemin Clan don't have many encounters in the Tudor Kingdom so they weren't too wary of each other. They easily befriend one another after a few meetings here and there.
"Yes… I'm part of the first battalion. Are you also here to get Sir Krusk's magical scale?"
