Chapter 30: Going Back To The Sweet Pork Inn

Aerin got up on the bed and sat on the chair.

She rubbed her eyes as she is still sleepy.

"How was your sleep, Aerin.", I asked Aerin while preparing the dead bodies of the rabbit and bird and dismantling them.

I took out the iron pot from the system inventory, filled it with water, cast [Fire] on the bottom of the pot, and waited for the water to boil.

"I felt great after sleeping! And I'm also feeling hunger.", Aerin said while placing her hand on her stomach.

She didn't sleep for a while when she was taking care of me so she must have felt sleepy and slept when I was looking for Zale.

I took out some vegetables and spices inside the system inventory, placed them on the chopping board, and cut them into several pieces using [High Tier Swordsmanship].

I know that it is a waste to use this skill on some useless stuff but cooking food is a necessity hence it is much more useful than fighting the demon lord.

After all, I can't defeat the demon lord with an empty stomach.

The water boiled after 5 minutes so I put the meat, sliced vegetables, and spices inside the pot and waited for it to be cooked.

Every minute, I used a wooden spoon to taste the stew until I tasted that it was ready to be eaten.

I served the rabbit and bird stew in three wooden bowls and handed one of the rabbit and bird stew to Aerin.

I went outside and gave the other serving to Zale.

I drank and ate the stew and opened the system map to see where I will use [Void] so that we can leave this place.

I felt that some monsters that even I can't defeat are starting to gather in the forest so I took some precautions and found some safe routes for us to take when we enter the [Gate] that I will cast.

After we finished eating the rabbit and bird stew, I went to Aerin and Zale and told them about the plan on how to avoid the monsters and exit the forest using [Gate].

We all came to an understanding so I prepared my equipment which is the iron sword.

Zale was using the sword that I gave him before as his weapon while Aerin was using the Nature's Magic Staff which Mathew stole before.

I used the system's appraisal skill on the sword that Zale is currently holding.

A translucent blue screen appeared in front of me which displayed the information about the sword.

______________________

The description of the sword was detailed and straightforward and I could say that it is one of the best swords that can be used.

Even villages and towns considered this sword as their best treasure.

Unfortunately, such a sword was not to my liking so that's why I gave it to Zale.

I usually used swords that had some effects that will improve damage and not some elemental effects.

Even though I could now wield a sword as an expert could, I'm still much more proficient in using a dagger instead of a sword.

After all, I used it as a self-defense weapon when some killers tried to kill me to steal my inventions.

I had at least killed a thousand assassins back on earth.

Every time I killed someone, my mind became more twisted but fortunately, I could suppress it and it only resulted in my personality disorder.

The reality back on Earth is harsh.

Many laboratories that are supported by the government tried to steal the biochemical weapons that I invented to use them to conquer the world.

Even I don't know what's got into me to invent weapons that could destroy mankind but it became a hobby for me back on Earth.

I had experienced all the dark side of the world and I was even targeted by the government and some criminal organizations.

Even though I made a lot of enemies back then, I still made some connections that helped me defend myself from those threats such as some leading companies from all over the world and even the hitman organization.

'I should stop reminiscing the past and face the present since the enemy that I'm going to face is much more sinister than what I had encountered. The demon lord is no joke.'

I took out the rings and necklace that the tree spirits had dropped from before and appraised it using the system's appraisal skill.

Three translucent blue screens appeared in front of me which displayed the artifact's information.

______________________

The wind element artifacts were suited for Aerin since she excelled in using both wind and nature magic.

I went to Aerin and gave her the rings and necklaces.

"Aerin, these are for you. I appraised these and I found out that it does not contain any curse and it is very compatible for you not to mention that it is of high ranking.", I said to Aerin.

She thanked me in return and Aerin, Zale and I left the place where I made the houses and headed to the forest.

We walked for hours and it was already getting dark as the sun sets and some stars shone brightly in the sky.

Aerin, Zale, and I arrived at a safe place where the system map indicated that the monster activities in here were low and this place was safe to be used as the place where I will cast [Void] and [Gate].

I cast [Void] then a black aura envelopes my hand and I slashed my hand into the sky which then a dark slash launched into the sky.

The dark slash formed a crack in space which allowed me to cast [Gate] then a door made out of bright white light appeared in front of me.

I signaled Zale and Aerin to enter the door and we entered the door.

Zale, Aerin, and I were teleported outside the Sweet Pork Inn.

We opened the entrance of the Sweet Pork Inn and entered it.

Bustling sounds of people chatting with each other as they are their dinner and the atmosphere was lively as ever were present as we were inside the Inn. w

I saw Mathew and Sophie helping the staff of the Sweet Pork Inn, acting as a waiter and serving food to the customers.

'I don't know why they are helping them on serving the food. I should ask Mathew and Sophie about this.'

I went to Mathew and Sophie and asked, "What are you doing?"

"We are serving food of course. What else are we doing? Eating?", Mathew sarcastically said.

'He does have a point. Why did I even ask such a simple question?'

"Why are you serving food?" I asked Mathew and Sophie.

"The staff asked us to helped since the Inn is full of customers and they will pay us in return.", Sophie replied.

"We already have a lot of money so why are you working to earn money?", I asked Sophie and Mathew.

"We don't have money on us since you were the one holding all of our money and since you are with Zale and Aerin to who knows where, Sophie and I can't pay for our food.", Mathew replied.

'I did forget to give my teammates the share of the money that we got since I stored it in the system inventory.'

"Here, these are enough for a year's worth of expenses.", I said and gave Sophie and Mathew some coins.

Mathew and Sophie thanked me in return and headed to the owner and paid some of the money.

We then went to our respective rooms and I lied on the bed and fell asleep.

I woke up and it was already morning.

The Inn is quiet today compared to last night.

The door of the Inn was opened in a fast manner which resulted in a loud creaking sound.

The sound of hurried footsteps can be heard and then someone entered my room.

"His Highness, the human king, requests for your audience!", The man dressed in formal attire said.
