Cheat Awakening

Chapter 222: Chapter 222. The Alchemy Library

After coming home, Myne and Waffle lounged on the couch lazily, while Aisha and Sylphy hurried into the kitchen to prepare lunch for everyone.

"Guys, it's time to think of a good Clan name. I want to submit it to Father-in-law tomorrow so he won't scold us later," Myne said as he put dishes inside his plate.

"The name of the Clan, huh? Prince Lewis's Clan name reflects the content of their activity. Should we also pick one that shows what we do?" Aisha thoughtfully remarked.

That's true. The Clan of Lewis is called Alchemy Library. I heard that the name was given due to many talented people in the clan who were good at alchemy, including Lewis himself. Although I've never met them before, the name 'The Circle of the Devil Clan' was also quite easy to understand in terms of what kind of things they do.

On the contrary, that guy Cass seems completely out of place since his clan name, 'The Soaring Sandstorm,' has no relation with their activity, Myne thought rubbing his chin.

"Yeah, but our clan doesn't do any specific things like making potions or researching monsters like Lewis, so it's hard to name it after what we are going to do. It might be a good idea to think of words that are related to us," Sylphy suggested after thinking for a while.

"Hey! Waffle, don't eat Ted's food, that's bad manners," Aisha suddenly scolded Waffle, seeing him stealing food from Ted's plate without finishing his own meal.

Ignoring Waffle and Aisha's dispute, Myne spoke with a smile, "How about 'Elysium Seekers'? Since we are going to wander various places while seeking thrilling adventures and encountering new types of monsters and skills."

"Elysium Seekers is quite a nice name. Elysium means 'Paradise' where we seek ideal happiness. This is indeed a wonderful name, Myne. I didn't expect such a good name to come from you," Aisha praised him wholeheartedly after dealing with Waffle.

"Well, I'll take it as a compliment," Myne said with a proud look.

"Then it's decided our clan name will be Elysium Seekers," Sylphy announced cheerfully, raising her juice glass.

Myne and Aisha looked at each other and raised their juice glasses as well, cheering together. And so, eating lunch, the name of the Clan was decided as the "Elysium Seekers."

...

"By the way, Sylphy, I forgot to ask, how much money did you give to our Fatty Mayor for the land where we are building our Clan, and did he give you a real property document?"

After a hearty lunch filled with joy, while resting and giving his stomach time to digest the food, Myne, as he lay on Aisha's lap, asked Sylphy, who was soothing Waffle's overindulged belly.

"Yes, I already settled our new land-related work with the Fatty Mayor that day when he came to our house. Since you were busy with Mr. Roku discussing Clan Building construction plans, I didn't disturb you, and later I forgot about it. Sorry," Sylphy said apologetically, batting her tongue between her front teeth cutely.

"Haha, don't apologize for something so trivial. You're my wife, not my subordinate, and you need to apologize for every little thing, got it?" Myne said with a laugh.

"Okay, I understand. So, where was I? Yes, for the entire two acres of land 50 meters away from our house, it's our property now. The Fatty Mayor charged us 20 platinum coins, claiming it was a hefty discount, but I doubt it. Land prices are high, but not as high as he claims.

If they were, commoners wouldn't be able to buy land and build their houses even if they worked 24 hours a day for dozens of years.

I think he wanted to make a fortune from us, but I didn't want to create any further trouble, so I paid him and made the entire property legally ours," Sylphy said, frowning as she thought about how she would complain to her father and possibly get the greedy mayor kick out from his post.

"Don't worry too much, it's just 20 platinum coins, no big deal. If a problem can be solved with money, then it's not a problem. Greedy people like the Fatty Mayor are more useful than honest and righteous ones. The former will do anything for money, but the latter will never do something that tarnishes their reputation no matter if that thing is good or bad," Myne reassured his somewhat naive wife.

"By the way, Myne, you're inquiring about the clan land. Do you want to modify the clan building plan?" Sylphy asked curiously.

"Yes, I was thinking of making a third-floor dormitory for official clan members who have nowhere to live and adding one more floor for our personal residence and building the guest room to the second floor instead of our residence floor," Myne replied thoughtfully.

"Are you making a dormitory for the members at the Clan House? Hehe, I see... for now, you wanted a place for Amy to live, right? However, doesn't Amy have a place to stay already?" Aisha asked, somewhat puzzled, though she was delighted that Myne was thinking so much for that poor elf princess.

"The adventure guild building and staying place? Don't joke with me. How can someone as simple and innocent as Amy even think of living in that dirty place? Currently, she has no other place to go, which is why she's forced to stay there. Otherwise, no one with a normal brain would choose to live there, let alone an elf princess like her," Myne replied disdainfully.

"That's true too. And don't forget that we have to protect her. If she lived very far from us, then if something happened to her, how would we even know about it? Only by staying with us can we keep an eye on her and react immediately if something happens to her," Sylphy explained, nodding her head in agreement with Myne's assessment.

"So how many rooms are you going to build for the dormitory? Although there is only Amy and two or three soldiers sent by Sylphy's father currently, in the future, when our clan becomes popular and more people join us, how are we going to handle them?" Aisha inquired, realizing the seriousness of the dormitory matter after listening to Myne and Sylphy's explanations.

"For this, we need to discuss it with Mr. Roke. He is a professional, and only he knows how many rooms we can make and what we are going to do with this problem in the future," Myne replied after some thought.

"Yeah, that sounds great. Then shall we go and meet up with Mr. Roke now?" Sylphy said excitedly, standing up.

"Actually, not now, honey. First, I have to meet your brother Lewis first. We'll meet Mr. Roke tomorrow morning," Myne said with a smile, pouring cold water on excited Sylphy who wanted to contribute to the clan's building project.

"Why do you want to meet Lewis?" Sylphy asked disappointingly.

"Because I want to sell some monster corpses from my Inventory to him and gather some funds for our clan building before meeting Mr. Roke. That way, we can also negotiate the price," Myne answered as he stood up from Aisha's lap, not before thanking her with a kiss for massaging his head.

"Oh, if that case, let's go together. With me around, he won't make things difficult for you, and we can work together to empty his pockets," Sylphy said confidently, wearing an evil smile on her face.

"As you wish then, Aisha, do you want to come along as well?" Myne asked Aisha, who was relaxing on the couch.

"Nah, you two go. Have fun. I'm a little tired. Let me take a small nap," Saying such Aisha covered her head under the pillow, and soo Myne and Sylphy with a wave of her hand.

...

"Your brother is indeed as wealthy as you said, the richest man in your family. Just how much did he burn to build such a grand building?" Myne asked in awe as he stared at the gigantic six-story tower-like building made of pure white stone in front of him.

This six-story tower-like building was a stunning architectural marvel constructed entirely from pristine white stone. Its exterior exuded an aura of timeless elegance, with intricate carvings and ornate details that hinted at the importance of the work conducted within. The structure's primary purpose was alchemy research, and every aspect of its design reflected this noble pursuit.

At the top of the building hung a large signboard made of golden marble glass with the words "Alchemy Library."

"Believe me, you don't want to know. When we first learned the cost of the building after asking many times, my entire family was so shocked that we couldn't believe our ears," Sylphy replied, shaking her head.

Hearing Sylphy's response, Myne, who had already surmised that Lewis hadn't burned money but rather threw them directly into a volcano, didn't dare to delve further into the matter. He quickly entered the building with her.

Four heavily armored knights at the entrance didn't stop them, as they all recognized Sylphy and Myne and saluted them respectfully.

After entering the building, they were greeted by a grand entrance hall. The entire floor was made of marble, which was so clean that you could see your reflection. The towering ceilings were adorned with intricate chandeliers, bathing the space in warm, inviting light.

At the far end of the massive, well-worn oak door lay a long reception desk, where Myne saw five beautiful halfling women of various races, dealing with customers with smiles on their faces.

"How may I help you?... Your Highness Sylphid!!!"

While admiring the beautiful grand hall, Myne and Sylphy approached the reception lady, who had slightly fewer people crowded in front of her compared to the others, but when it was their turn, the receptionist lady recognized Sylphy and exclaimed loudly, attracting unwanted attention.

"What! Princess Sylphid! Where is she?" A young man beside Myne inquired, staring at the receptionist girl. Since Sylphy was wearing a hoodie, he didn't recognise her. Although Myne was famous, and many people knew him, but his popularity still paled in comparison to Sylphy's.

"But didn't she get married recently and move out of the capital city? When did she return?" Another person who stood behind Myne asked with a frown, glancing left and right.

Soon, people began to make noise, but one thing was common among them, they all ignored Myne, as if he didn't exist at all, and continued searching for Sylphy.

"Is my popularity so low that even after standing in front of everyone openly, no one recognizes me, but they're trying to find Sylphy? Those damn f*cking perverts," Myne with black lines all over his forehead thought while gritting his teeth and tightening his fist.

While the crowd was still searching for Sylphy, she whispered something into the receptionist lady's ear. Then the receptionist hurriedly calmed down everyone.

"Sorry, everyone. It seems I misunderstood someone else for Princess Sylphid because she looks quite similar to her. Sorry for the disturbance," The receptionist lady quickly apologized, and the crowd honestly calmed down. Otherwise, what could they do? Pick a fight with the receptionist lady for wasting their time? That was out of the question.

The Alchemy Library has very strict rules, and anyone blacklisted by them might as well forget about buying legal potions from shops in the Augusta Kingdom.

"Your Highness... I mean, Ms. Fortuna, how may I help you?" The receptionist lady, who was about to address Sylphy by her real name, quickly corrected herself and asked with a forced smile as Sylphy glanced at her with a dangerous look, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
