Chapter 488 Spectacular!

After the portal closed, I looked around, but no one seemed to care that it had happened. I guess that everyone was getting used to me and the Goddesses being around them, so most people do bat an eye now.

"Well, are you ready to go?" I asked, turning to the purple Lamia that was now my height.

"Yes, I will wait until we get out of this crowd to explain why I have come, but I am curious. What is it that you were thinking about before?" Lexi asked me as I offered her my arm that she linked her own into.

"I have a village that I just created for monster girls like yourself, but it is more like a place for ones that don't fit in where they are now. I also have an adventurer school I am starting up, but I have run into food problems. The monster girl village is in a forest, but it is one that I just grew, and the area was a wasteland before this. I could make farmland, but most people want meat, and even with help, it is not a fix for now. I want to find a race that I could talk to about making a deal with them to get them to fish or hunt, and I do something for them that they need," I explained as Lexi slithered along beside me.

She was smiling, but she didn't reply to me right away. Many people greeted both of us surprisingly, and we ended up stopping and talking with a few different groups of people before reaching the edge of the market. Once we did, Lexi looked at me.

"I think that the best race to approach about gathering food to sell would likely be the Elves. Elves are naturally gifted in the art of foraging and harvesting and have a deep knowledge of the natural world. They are also known for their resourcefulness and creativity, which makes them ideal for finding new and creative ways to gather food. Additionally, Elves tend to be more in tune with nature and the environment, which gives them an edge in finding the best sources of food. Finally, Elves often have a deep connection to the magical world, which can be useful in locating food sources that are not readily available to the other races," Lexi explained, and I nodded, more than impressed.

Honestly, I had thought that she had gotten distracted and forgotten what I had said, but that was clearly not the cause. Apparently, Lexi had been considering my problem the entire time and gave me nothing short of a flawless answer. It was so well explained that I had trouble understanding why I hadn't come to that conclusion.

"Spectacular! That is really amazing! Your answer was exactly what I was looking for!" I explained, and Lexi gave me a warm smile.

"Thank you for the praise. That means a lot coming from someone like you, my God," Lexi said, but I put up my free hand and shook my head.

"Just call me Galio," I said, and Lexi's smile deepened.

"With pleasure, Galio. Now, you had suggested that you could create farmland? It might be wise to speak to the Fairy Goddess, Titania. I know that you are close with all of the goddesses, but they would be the best to talk to about crops and harvest. They might even consider trading with you if you can make it worth their time. The Fae are known to be excellent at gathering and harvesting food, as they have a connection to the natural world and understand plant life and seasons better than other races. They also have a natural affinity for magic, which could be used to speed up their harvesting process. One thing to consider, Fae are known for their bargaining prowess, which could be used to get the best prices for the food they harvest," Lexi said, and then she guided me around a light post, to my embarrassment.

I had been so enthralled with listening to her description that I had lost focus. While she was very pretty with exotic features and thin eyes with her human-like skin tanned. Everything about her was attractive, but something about how she was so knowledgeable drew me to her the most.

"Well, both answers were more than I could hope for, but I have to ask; how do you know so much?" I asked as we got closer to the barrack. Part of me almost wanted to slow down, so I didn't have to break our conversation to talk to someone else.

"Myself and my people are record keepers, and it is our job to record important events, so we travel all over to learn about great tales and interesting events. The largest library in the world covers almost our entire island and rises up into the clouds. Only my kind and Goddess are allowed to visit, and that is mostly because the Elders couldn't stop them if they wanted. I am sure that if they had a way to prevent your form of teleportation, they would do so," Lexi said with a small giggle that she covered with her free hand that had purple scales on the back of it.

"Oh? Crabby old women? Well, the last thing that a person who keeps records wants is someone coming and making a mess of the way they have things organized, I said as I let go of Lexi's arm and opened the door of the barrack to see O'Lee behind the reception window.

"Have you come to get the sulking prisoners? I just hosed them down, so they might still be wet and grumpy. They all stink, and it was too much work to take them out," O'Lee said, and I smirked.

"Good. Are all five women back there? Or just the two humans?" I asked, but O'Lee shook her head.

"Demons stayed in the carriage, but it was locked. I will go get them for you, but you can wait inside," O'Lee said and unlocked the gate for us to enter.
