"Woh ~ This is..."

As I approach the body of the likely adventurer, next to him I recognize a small plant that I had seen before, and when I evaluated it with my eyes, I can read [Mana Pearl] over it confirming my suspicions...

"Oh~ A mana pearl plant… well, since these grow in places with high energy concentration in the environment, it must have been fed with the energy of the body. It even appears to be mature enough to produce seeds."

Honestly, a single of these plants would not cause me so much joy to discover it, but as the princess says, in this one surrounding what looked like a small pearl, there were several small seeds that also seemed to shine a little...

These seeds made me happier than the plant itself! The reason for this was none other than due to the ability that my Venus developed recently!! Remembering this ability, it said in its description the following.

[Graft]

Using plants, seeds, or parts of trees that still retain some vitality, the venus can add these things to nurture the added plant and develop it at the expense of its own development. Only a limited number of plants can be grafted to it depending on the level of the Venus, or else these plants could damage it.

In alchemy books that I had read to improve this ability, there I had learned that these plants, by only absorbing the energy of nature, these could take 100 years to mature... well, there were also other ways to accelerate this, like this plant that fed itself by the energy of this man's body, but it would still take at least 10 years to develop.

Above all, only one of these plants had to have a field of several kilometers in which there was no other plant that needed large amounts of energy to grow… well, in fact, most of the plants with strong effects had this requirement. I think this was normal since in my world even normal plants had to be separated a distance from each other in order to grow better, so it is normal that if you put together two plants that need a lot of nutrients, they would end up stunting the growth of the one to the other.

Now I really wanted to go back and use these seeds on the Venus and see how many mana plants it could grow, and how long they took to mature! Since this plant keeps eating monster bodies and can absorb their nutrients quickly, then it might not be unreasonable to think that this one would give me about 100 of these plants per year!

…Well, maybe I'm asking too much to the Venus. With 50 of these plants per year is still a pretty good thing! If so, then surely my Venus would be the best companion of all alchemists!!

"I want the seeds of this plant as part of my reward for coming here!"

"Umm… since if it weren't for Alexander-sama we surely would have needed to escape before, I don't see any problem with that. In fact, I don't think anyone will complain if Alexander-sama takes the whole plant... after all, since the seeds need a lot of resources to grow them, they are not that valuable"

"That is true, Alexander-san."

"… Looks like your luck is good, boy. If you manage to deliver this plant to a good alchemist, now you will only need 99 pills to fulfill your promise to the King..."

Since the time had come to share our profits, excited by my thoughts, I quickly ask for these seeds as part of my reward. I always thought that the moment when there would be more disputes in a group made up of several organizations was when the gains had to be shared, but...

If I consider it now, the prince and princess group didn't seem very interested in this. The prince was content just to have come on this exploration, and the princess probably doesn't find it in good taste to argue about these things.

So the only ones I had to fight for the division of things were the people of the Nurt guild, but I honestly doubt that they would say anything if the previous two people decided to give me everything...

Well, I didn't want to look too greedy either, so I took the weapons that this man must have used which were a shield and a sword [F] rank, and handed them to Turla who had mentioned the dowry matter making the princess blush a bit.

"I think this is better for you to use, Turla."

"E-Eh? A-Are you sure? They are [F] rank weapons, you know? "

"… Even in an Area level 2, these would be considered excellent weapons Alexander-sama. Maybe these are even the most valuable things here... "

With some nervousness, Turla receives those weapons. Well, since she had been seeing them all this time since we noticed them, she probably wanted them. Also, as the princess says, they seemed to be pretty good weapons. They even had the same rank as her Bow after all… a good item that had shown its performance so far.

Sadly, these weapons weren't appropriate for any girl in my group... plus, even though they would surely be priced well, I feel like selling them would be a waste.

Turla would sooner or later become my women, so instead of selling these now and splitting the profits between us and then having to buy some good equipment in the system from her latter, it's better to give them to her right now.

"Well, Cleirsa-san may be right and these things are the best here… then I'll take the interdimensional ring apart from the plant, let luck decide what I receive.

If we let Nurt's guild have all the bodies of the monsters we have defeated so far, I think we will all get enough profit from this journey. "

"E-Eh? A-All the monsters we've defeated so far ?! Y-You know we've defeated a lot of 9th limit monsters so far, right ?! If that ring has nothing, then your group will not have received anything good ..."

"It's true, Alex-chan! You can't leave something like our winnings to chance! "

When I speak to say how we would share the rest of the proceeds of this trip, Rulnemt and Revy speak raising their voices thinking that this was something unfair. The first seems that he felt that this was unfair to us since in truth all the bodies of the monsters that we defeated would not be a small sum of money if we sold them.

I honestly didn't need any money now, so in the end, I would probably end up using them as fertilizers for the Venus... as for using them to create equipment, since probably only [H] rank armor and weapons would be created at using most of these monsters, these were no different than the equipment that the mansion girls and girl soldiers now wear… in fact, they might be a bit more uncomfortable to wear that equipment than the nanotube suits.

Perhaps the equipment make by using parts of the great insect would reach a [G] rank, but surely these would end up being something similar to plate armor... these would undoubtedly have a greater defensive capacity, but these would not be appropriate for the girls on my group due to how they fight.

Because of this, I didn't feel bad for handing over all the monster bodies to the Nurt's guild, also since 3 of the 4 girls who came with me don't say anything and disagreeing with my decision, then all by fine.

I thought so, but with Revy raising a voice protesting this, in the end, it was decided that the insect monsters would be taken by us and the Nurt guild would take the other monsters that we have hunted so far in Rozz Area and the ones we could obtain until back to the adventurer city.

There was no point in protesting for more profit, so we all took our things and prepared to return with Revy showing a satisfied face for having made our profits biggest... I honestly don't think she understands much the value of monster bodies as well, so she probably just feels good because we reside more things.

As we returned, I thought it was good to see if now my luck ability did something good, so far it seemed to be off and so I was hoping to find something good in the ring.

Inside this, there were several million Gold and Crystals, plus a good amount of equipment. Unfortunately, the best ones were only [H] rank... I was really a bit disappointed, but when I thought perhaps the most valuable thing was the ring itself which was rank [F] having a large space inside because of this, I find 10 scrolls.

6 x ["Cleansing Flames" Tactical Scroll -F]

3 x ["Citadel" Tactical Scroll -F]

1x ["Fury of the Skies" Tactical Scroll -F]

Shit... that man of before was a kind of terrorist? These scrolls had the effect of causing great chaos in a whole big city! Well, from what I read in their description, it wasn't like they would bring down a meteorite erasing a city from the map, though... they could certainly cause a lot of deaths in a city if one is activated.

The scroll of "Purifying Flames" for example, after being activated, it created flames in the entire area of

effect that could cover a city. If countermeasures were not taken against it, as its name suggests, it would purify everything with those flames...

The "Citadel" scroll was probably a defensive scroll as it could create earth walls about 3 meters high in a wide Area... unfortunately these would be destroyed after the energy used on the scroll disappeared. But even so, it also seemed quite useful.

The last one created a thunderstorm making it rain thunders for a long time... it's not bad, but it is probably the one that has the least use since I see the first scroll being better to cause damage. Maybe it's probably more appropriate to scare the people in a city or something like that...

Either way, even though I don't intend to, using any of these scrolls in a place like the capital would be disastrous for this one...

[Surely a place like that has some countermeasures like scrolls that block the use of other scrolls, also the city's energy shields could be used to block them. Or, for example, if someone were to use the "Flames of Purification" scroll, even though there would still be some casualties, using a scroll that causes heavy rain could counter it.

Although they're good scrolls, given their level, it's not like they could destroy the city in an instant.]

Well, certainly as Aurora says, I think it's normal that there were ways to stop these scrolls, Lena had said it too after all. Even so, I did not intend to use these scrolls here, I was happy because they would undoubtedly be very useful in the world of HOTD.

There shouldn't be anything blocking them, besides, the use of the "Cleansing Flames" scroll would be very good. I've already seen how well zombies burn after all...

Glad for what I had achieved in this foray into the Rozz forest, we all rushed back to the adventurer city... plus, since it would take us a few nights for that, I could still go on harassing Turla a bit!

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------------

Several days and humid nights of Turla later, we were already near the city of adventurers. At this moment our group was fighting, but unlike until now, our opponents were a group of adventurers who ambushed us.

Or that's what they intended but sadly for them, I had detected them with my domain long before they launched their attack on us.

"It is really a nuisance people who take the easy path and prefer to attack other adventurers who return from their expeditions to try to steal them... "

"Yes... these people are not weak, so they could go into the forest and make a good profit for themselves."

"Yes, they are all villains!!"

Turla, Cleirsa-san, and the prince probably the most honest-minded of our group raise their complaints in protest at the actions of these men who attacked us.

Previously Rulnemt and Palmir as more veteran adventurers, when we approached the city, they had commented that now we should be careful of other groups. Then as if their words invoked them, not long after we came across a group with eyes full of greed and l.u.s.t on them.

" Haa~ Well... I think instead of wanting our loot we got in the forest, they were targeting the girls in our group."

Probably remembering how the first thing these people said was something like "Leave the girls behind and the others will be able to make it out alive", Rulnemt heaves a sigh as he looks at the girls in our group.

Leona, Scythe, Vrana who now wore the effect of the bracelet I gave her and walked with basically normal hands and feet, Revy, Cleirsa-san, Turla, and Palmir, all they really stood out from our group... also seeing how this guy at the end he directs his gaze towards me, I was probably within that group even in spite of myself.

Also, in this forest, the status of Cleirsa-san and the prince weren't going to make these men stop, and probably that would motivate them even more… after all, it was not strange that groups that explored this forest disappeared without anyone noticing.

"… It is not that this matters much, in the end, we are the ones who can obtain the things they have. So if we keep finding more of these groups, then our profits will only end up increasing. "

So saying something that if someone else listened they probably wouldn't know who the robbers were, Revy puts a bullet through the head of a man who was heading towards her. Well, no one could deny her words either...

As Cleirsa-san mentioned before, the strength of these men was not bad. In this group, there were 6 men in the 8th limit and even 2 in the 9th, and therefore, their equipment was not bad.

Perhaps the most troublesome thing was that unlike monsters that did not have much intelligence and did not use magic items, humans were known to be cunning. So in a sense, fighting this group could be more dangerous than the bug nest from before...

"This weapon is quite amazing... although I am more used to my bow"

So to avoid this, we try to take down these most troublesome people as quickly as possible. And with that goal in mind, Cleirsa-san aims a sniper rifle at the people she felt had the strongest auras.

On our return trip, I had given her that rifle as a gift. Thanks to that, as I did with Kurisu previously, I was able to teach her how to use the weapon while getting some advantages from her. Also, since Turla had seen this with a bit of envy, I gave her too a pair of RSh-12 revolvers… of course, I was the one who taught her to use them too!

Although only the princess had used the rifle to check her performance in the fights we had until now. As she says, they were probably more used to their other weapons, so they will probably use them more out of curiosity and they will continue to focus on their other weapons more.

Well, either way, I was able to get a little closer to them and these weapons could get them out of a bind, so all is right.

I'm also not worried about them delivering them to the kingdom to try to mass-produce these, I don't think that's possible with the technology of this Area. Also, seeing as how they seemed happy and seemed to treasure the weapons when they received them, even though they might not use them much, they will surely keep them with them.

So after defeating these adventurous thieves, we finally reached the adventurer city and immediately entered it. It seems this journey has come to an end.
