Chapter 372 Not All Treasures Are Silver And Gold

After finalizing the details of Nevreal's proposal, the Half-Elf went to look for Cai.

He had left the Boar to stay in Leaf Village because it was getting bored of Barbatos Academy. The Boar didn't like to be confined indoors and preferred being out on the fields, enjoying the sights and sounds of the scenery around her.

Since a day had already passed in Elysium, the Half-Elf deemed that it was time to check on whatever Cai was doing and ensure that it wasn't causing trouble for the villagers.

Fortunately, Lux didn't need much effort to search for the Boar. He could hear its laughter from miles away.

"Just what have you been up to, Cai?" Lux asked as soon as he saw the Boar, who was currently surrounded by several Dwarf children.

"My Daddy! You came at the right time," Cai said as it made a gesture for Lux to hurry up. "Come! Look at her. Isn't she the most adorable creature ever?"

The Boar lowered its head and showed Lux the sleeping baby slime who rested on top of the Boar's head.

'A Gold Slime?' Lux blinked once then twice before shifting his gaze back to Cai. "Where did you steal this child? There are no Gold Slimes in Leaf Village."

"Hehehe!" Cai lifted its chin up, almost making the baby Gold Slime, who was sleeping on its head, fall off. It was quite obvious that it was feeling very happy about its latest companion.

"What you say is true," Cai said with a smug look on its face. "There has never been a golden slime in Leaf Village. However, all of that changed today! Fei Fei was just born, and it just so happened that she was born from the egg that I chose! This must be fate at work. I'm destined to become rich!"

Lux just smiled at Cai's bragging before appraising the golden slime. He was quite curious about what its ability was because this was the first time he was seeing one.

Lux, who had just finished reading Fei Fei's information, felt that the golden slime was literally born as a money making creature.

'For some reason, I feel that she fits Cai perfectly,' Lux mused.

Cai liked to collect treasures, and even went as far as to shamelessly ask others to give it items, just like what it did to the gnome, Sherlock, when they challenged the Gate of War in the Sacred Dungeon.

"Isn't she so adorable?" Cai asked. "I'm sure that Eiko and her will become the best of friends. Just like me and Iris, who are the bestest friends ever."

Lux just smiled and didn't make any comments. Deep inside his heart, he also wished that Eiko and Fei Fei would become good friends. After all, Cai was part of his guild and would be traveling with him most of the time.

"By the way, Cai, there is someone who commissioned me to go on a quest," Lux said. "Do you want to come?"

"Um? A commission?" Cai's interest was piqued. It had long wanted to explore the Kingdom of the Dwarves, but it didn't want to go alone.

The Boar was too embarrassed to trouble Lux to give it a tour of the Dwarven Kingdom. Because of this, it wanted to look for a traveling buddy, but unfortunately, they were few and far in between.

Cai wanted to drag Keane with it, but the skinny swordsman preferred to stay in a peaceful and quiet places to meditate, in pursuit of the peace he was looking for.

Now that an opportunity had presented itself in front of it, Cai readily accepted Lux's invitation without batting an eye.

"So, where are we going?" Cai inquired. "Fei Fei, we are going treasure hunting. Time for you to wake up."

The Gold Slime opened her eyes and scanned her surroundings before yawning.

"Da Wae?" Fei Fei asked.

"Yes! We are going treasure hunting!" Cai replied. "We're going to look for treasures!"

Once again, the Gold Slime looked around her. Seeing that there were no treasures around, she once again closed her eyes to sleep.

Lux, who saw the sleeping baby Slime, chuckled.

"Fei Fei has just been born," Lux said. "Give her a few more days to adjust before you go treasure hunting."

The Half-Elf had already experienced taking care of a sleepy Eiko when she was just hatched from her egg, so he was more than happy to impart his knowledge to the Boar, who was trying to coax the sleeping Slime to wake up.

"Fine." Cai sighed. "So, when do we leave?"

"We leave in three days. That will be enough time to make the necessary preparations.

"Three days? Got it! I'll stay here in Leaf Village for three days."

"Okay." Lux smiled. "I'll go back to Barbatos Academy and ask Keane if he wants to accompany us."

The Boar nodded. "Make sure to drag Little Swordy with us. That guy hasn't gotten much sunshine these past few days."

Lux chuckled. He was amused to see Cai treating Keane like some kind of plant that it was taking care of.

Before Lux left the village, he turned around to look at Cai in the distance, who was now surrounded by Dwarf children who wanted to ride its back.

Cai had fallen in love with the small Dwarf village and had gotten chummy with a few of its residents.

Perhaps the Dwarves also felt that Cai didn't mean any harm, so they accepted this strange and chatty Creature into their village, allowing it to freely roam wherever it pleased.
