Chapter 71: An Invitation

"Who is this guy? Why did Snow_Goose invite him for a walk?" The people around instantly wondered about Aldric.

They had seen Snow_Goose many times in this city, but she never invited anyone to take a walk except for the people she had recruited to be her followers.

"This guy must be unique or he knows Snow_Goose in real life," some people said.

"Maybe he's also very powerful," said another.

Aldric didn't like being the center of attention of too many people.

"Okay, where to?" He answered Snow_Goose's invitation, which was actually because he wanted to leave here immediately.

Snow_Goose did not respond immediately. She dismounted from her black horse and sent the horse to the Seal Card.

After that, she stopped a horse carriage that was passing by.

It was not a private carriage, but a carriage that the owner used as a transportation service for people who wanted to get around in the city without having to walk.

Snow_Goose then got into the carriage, which happened to be empty.

It was quite large and could accommodate up to ten people.

"Get in!" She asked Aldric to get in.

Aldric quickly entered the carriage.

By the time he arrived in the carriage, he saw Snow_Goose closing all the window blinds.

It seemed that she did not want more people to see them.

She then paid the carriage owner, asking him to take them anywhere.

"Is there anything, Miss?" Aldric took the initiative to start the conversation as soon as the carriage moved.

This was because he did not want to appear too reserved.

"I wanted to ask first, do you have any Honey of Life left?" The woman in armor asked.

Aldric was somewhat interested in hearing this because he could have sold her the Honey of Life directly without promotion. That way, no one else would know that he had a lot of Honey of Life other than Snow_Goose.

However, even though she was friends with Jenny in the real world and Jenny told him that she was not evil, he thought it was still a risk. It was better if he was careful.

He finally shook his head.

"Nothing, I'm just keeping a few liters for myself," he said.

"I see!" Snow_Goose showed no particular reaction to his answer.

She gave the impression of calmness as no ripples emerged from her tone.

Aldric waited for the woman to speak again because asking about the Honey of Life was obviously just her curiosity about the stock of Honey of Life he had.

"I felt your power and realized you are very strong." The woman began to speak. "Although I don't know your abilities in detail, with your power, you can provide assistance to the things I want to do. Here, I would like to invite you to help me. Of course, I will pay you handsomely in cash that I will send directly to your account."

"If I may know, what is it, Miss?" Aldric asked immediately after hearing her words.

This sounded interesting. Of course, he wouldn't mind helping her if she was paid with real money.

"Killing a very powerful monster," Snow_Goose replied.

"In addition to killing the monster, we need to fight the city lord and his army because he also has the same goal," she added.

"What monster is that?" Aldric was surprised that the thing she needed help with was killing a monster.

"You'll find out later. One thing is for sure, it won't be easy," she replied.

"And we will do it tonight. I'll call you when the time comes."

It seemed that this woman did not like to mince words, every time she said something, she got straight to the point with a speaking speed that could be said to be fast enough that one had to have a good ear to hear her words.

"So, are you willing to join in to help me?" she asked afterwards.

Until now, however, Aldric had not confirmed he would help her.

"Sure!" Aldric didn't think much about giving her an answer.

"Good, this way, my success rate becomes higher," Snow_Goose said.

"Is there anything else, miss?" asked Aldric.

If there was nothing else, he hoped to leave soon.

Being in front of someone so influential in the real world was rather uncomfortable for him.

Although it was only a little, he actually felt some mental pressure.

"Nothing, but if you don't mind, I'd like to invite you to lunch. Consider it a thank you from me," Snow_Goose replied.

"I don't think so, I have other things I want to do," Aldric replied.

If it was just lunch, he didn't find anything interesting. After all, he could go to the restaurant by himself.

That way, he could eat more calmly without having to think about maintaining his image in front of others.

"Alright if you don't want to, but I mean lunch in the real world because I happen to be having lunch at a restaurant with some people I know including Jenny. It's rare for me to have this opportunity. Maybe I'll invite you again next time. Let's part ways now."

After saying that, the woman signaled the coachman in front to stop the carriage.

She then got off first before Aldric.

The latter could not get off right away as he was a bit dumbfounded.

Lunch in the real world? Was that woman serious?

He wondered.

If it was like that, he would practically be able to see her face directly, even see her real figure.

Did that mean she was opening up space for him to make acquaintances in the real world?

Ever since the interaction with Anna where an elite seemed to attach importance to anyone who showed success in this game, he had begun to not find it strange that there were other elites trying to build a friendship with him.

He found the game more and more mysterious.

When he got off the carriage, he didn't see Snow_Goose anymore.

Who knew where she had gone.

However, he was quite interested in a shop beside the way he got off.

It was a fairly large shop with a large board hanging above its entrance.

The board had the words, (Heaven Valley Alchemy Shop!)

The shop was so crowded, full of people coming and going.

The Alchemy Shop practically sold products related to potions that were very helpful to Magicians.

Aldric had heard that large alchemy shops like this could teach others to make simple potions as long as they paid.

He actually had an interest in learning a little, like for example turning the Honey of Life into something smaller to make it easy to consume.
