Chapter 846 A Big City
-----
After putting Yuki in her place we swiftly reached the gates of Heaven Port, we decided to pretend we were Merchants this time around, so I brought a massive wooden carriage and a caravan behind packed with products harvested from the farm made by Benladann and yours truly. Thanks to my new Abilities related to my most recent evolution, I had attained the wondrous ability of enhancing the soil and the crops! With that, I helped my little Benladra in raising the big farm we are making, which is feeding our village's population and will also become a new production of income. Of course, I've also left the Rank 6 Harvest Spirits I had created, lesser versions of Benladra's Divine Spirit, that can do the job for me even before I got my new abilities as a Dragon of Harvest.
Because divinity begins to emerge at Rank 7 and above, Rank 6 and below spirits can be easily created through the usage of Mana. Of course, Rank 6 Spirits still take a massive chunk of my Mana each one, but I can still kind of mass produce them over time. I could even make a big army of Spirits to fight if I ever wanted… I might be at the level of a nation by now in terms of militaristic power, and that's without even putting into consideration the army of Giant Ice Golems I've been making recently by combining my Ice Divinity with Death Magic. Because they're made out of Divine Ice, they're as strong as Rank 6 monsters, but they're a "last line of defense" for my own Divine Realm for the worst possible case scenario (which I hope never happens to be honest).
When we reached the gates of Heaven Port, a pair of guards greeted us. I quickly showed them my license as a merchant and they opened their eyes wide by seeing the massive amount of merchandise I brought, and that I was a VIP Member of the Merchant Guild too.
"V-VIP Merchant Member?!" Asked the first guard. "P-Please, pass! Without commission fee, of course!"
"Welcome to Heaven Port, have a good day!" The second one said.
I guess status is everything even in a world dominated by the strong. Merchants will always be appreciated due to the fortunes they hold and the resources they can bring. Even in worlds dominated by the strong, they're the ones that bring resources all over the globe from everywhere.
It wouldn't be cocky to say we are the pillars of economy. Especially in these medieval-like era this world seems to be stuck in. Of course, there are magic tools that facilitate things similarly to modern era, but they're not widespread. Therefore, this world has failed many times to reach a similar state than Earth.
"Well that was mighty easy… Uwah, look at all the colorful houses… This is a beautiful city! Right, Benladra?" Asked Benladann, as she held our daughter in her arms.
"Woooah!" Benladra said while opening her mouth.
She pointed her tiny hands at everywhere. There were larger than usual buildings, many of them colorful too, giving the entire city a vibrant atmosphere. People was bursting from everywhere, moving to every corner of the place. It was vivid and beautiful to the point my two daughters were freaking out. This was the first time they entered such a big city, even the previous Orange Forest fiefdom wasn't so big and filled with thousands of people- no, I think there might be over a million citizens living here.
"Kate, do you like it here? Don't feel worried, everything is alright." I said, as I held Kate in my arms. Since we left Fuyu that I had her with me. She's not as timid as Benladra, and simply stares at everything silently. Her eyes clearly showed her amusement, however.
"Ooh…" She said softly, she seemed to be dazzled by the vibrance of the city.
"Well, where should we go now? Woah! There's a big market there! Let's go look at that first!" An adorable pink-haired fox girl with various tails said. Belle had come here in her humanoid form. After unifying with her other half inside of the Venerable's inheritance, she gained the ability to easily turn into this cute form of herself. She brought a lot of attention due to her strange hair color and her fluffy tails. Many people found her cute, based in their blushed faces.
"You wanna go there? Sure thing, let's go then." I sighed. She was like another adoptive daughter I had aside from Yuki. "I am also quite interested in seeing what they're selling in this big port city. The Orange Forest fiefdom was already filled with imported stuff, so I wonder how big the variety is here."
"Hm, I am also quite interested. It has been truly a while since we got into a big and new city to explore…" Pekora said with a mysteriously charming smile. The rabbit-kin woman was still as small as Yuki and everyone else, but she seemed more mature now that she wore a better set of clothes than just the tribal clothes she often wore. To be honest she looked quite charming.
"I want to buy some new weapons, a bigger shield maybe… or armor! Wearing the same stuff gets boring, we gotta get some variety." Said Tisha, the ice elf woman seemed excited about looking around what to buy and wear. As a battle junkie warrioress, she had been hunting monsters non-stop for most of our "break", mostly cleaning of dangerous monsters the Jungles of the lizardmen and regularly visiting the dungeons. For someone like her finding new equipment was rather exciting, I can actually relate to that, but did she had to put it that way? I feel heartbroken. You know that those armor and weapons are made by me?! Sigh… but yeah, wearing the same stuff gets boring.
"Woah, so much to look around, nya!" Cassim, the adorable black cat boy had joined us alongside the other children that I had rescued from Benladann's tribe, they were being taken care by Draugann, the old woman- well, not so old woman, actually…
