Today Alice was busy extracting all the souls who existed in those two buildings before they got demolished.
'Tsk, what am I doing here?'
'I wanted to go with Shin.'
[Really, but weren't you pretty happy back then?] Mia referred to back when Shin asked or rather coerced Alice for help.
[My son-in-law can be pretty interesting sometimes. Saying something like 'Only you can help me, Alice.', hehe. Then someone replied, 'Of course, I'll do anything for you my darling.' Hahaha. It was so funny.] Mia made fun of Alice nonstop.
Alice was extremely embarrassed. Her face turned red. She pouted and turned her head.
'Hmph, how can you make fun of your daughter? If you do this again, I'll be angry.'
Mia who saw her daughter's extremely cute expression, couldn't help but giggle.
'Yo-You are still laughing?'
[Whenever you are coquettish like that. I start having doubts about whether you are the same daughter I know or not.]
'Hmph, I'll complain to Mr. Robin.'
[He is busy teaching those new guys.]
p
[... Yeah, ] Mia wanted to ask why did Alice change their names but decided not to.
***
Soon after Alice completely absorbed those souls turning them into Soul Fragments. With this amount of Soul Fragments, she can slowly absorb them and increase her mana pool.
"Miss Alice, we have prepared some tea for you." A girl hurried forward near Alice.
"Okay, Shu, my work here is also done."
This girl was Shu Ming. After being rescued by Alice and the others. She tried contacting her family, but unfortunately, she got the news that she wished not to happen. Her family was no more. Everyone died. Her brother survived for a little longer but he came out searching for her and never returned.
Hearing this heartbreaking news Shu Ming couldn't handle it. She was in despair. She had no reason to live anymore. Alice comforted her and told her own story.
After hearing Alice's tale, of how she lost everything and later found hope when she met Shin. Alice's story gave Shu Ming hope. Hope to find a reason to live.
It took her only a few hours to understand what she had to do. It was simple, Alice saved her life. She was going to give her life to Alice and serve her with utmost loyalty. But for that, she is not yet worthy. So she will ask Alice to let her stay by her side when she deemed herself worthy of serving her.
Alice never knew her thoughts. But she felt her sincerity.
***
Soon Shin and Mastisk landed at the location.
"Eh?"
The next thing he saw widened his eyes in surprise. Alice was elegantly sitting on a chair drinking tea and Shu Ming was holding an umbrella above her. She was like an elegant princess being served by her maids. From her tea manners to her sitting posture everything was elegant. Her face was calm as if nothing could faze her. Even while facing storms, she won't faze a little. That was the aura she was giving. Very beautiful and elegant. An aura of a proper lady.
"This girl is very graceful," Mastisk mumbled with a satisfied nod.
Who knew in the next moment that the elegant girl will leave everything, running towards them and hugging Shin like a koala?
"Darling~"
"I missed you~"
She was very coquettish. A little girl in love.
Mastisk was speechless, this change of temperament was too much. Where did the elegant lady go? Was that an illusion?
Shin hugged her back.
"I missed you too. Now get down. We shouldn't delay other's work." Shin said as he pointed at Mastisk.
Alice nodded and reluctantly let go of him. Then her eyes fell on Mastisk. Although she couldn't see through his deception. Her instincts told her this person was mysterious and powerful.
So she decided to just follow according to Shin's wishes. She will not say anything unnecessary.
"This is the land we have wherein we want to create the guild's base." Shin started telling him his requirements.
Only after discussing it for more than an hour, Shin concluded everything.
"That's all."
Mastisk was silent for a moment as he started rubbing his chin while thinking.
Shin controlled his laugh. Even if a person changes their appearance their habits can't change easily. Mastisk must have had a beard originally, but he seems weird doing it in human form. Because there's no beard.
"What you want to be built is not difficult. But what will I get for compensation."
Mastisk asked although he agreed to help him. He can't do it for free. Though it's Shin's fortune that he is blessed enough to make Mastisk work for him.
In his previous planet, many people wanted to get Mastisk's help. It was difficult to meet him even if you pay a lot of compensation. So his agreeing to work was a big deal.
Well, it was also true that Mastisk was interested in humans on this planet. So building a strong base for Shin will provide him with a lot of information from the interaction he will do with humans.
Although he didn't lack anything that Shin could provide. But Mastisk wanted to make it difficult for him.
"I want 5 low-grade mana stones," Mastisk said with a smirk. He was certain Shin was only level 56 and even if he get the help of that girl who had a little higher level, obtaining low-grade mana stones was not an easy task for them.
Low-grade mana stones can only be obtained in a few dungeons and all of them are above level 6.
***
[Level 6 Dungeon]
[Recommened Party Level 200+]
[1 Catastrophe Class monster, Disaster class monsters, Insane class monsters, Fierce monsters, Elite monsters, and Normal monsters.]
[Chances of obtaining low-grade mana stones are pretty high.)
***
Clearing level 6 dungeon, the recommended party level is 200+. With their current strength, it should be an impossible task.
If they can clear the level 6 dungeon, forget 5 they can even obtain more than 100 low-grade mana stones.
Though there's a chance to obtain a few mana stones in lower-level dungeons too. But it's even rarer than winning a jackpot.
There was once a case like that but it has been more than 100 years. Mastisk never believed Shin would be that lucky.
"Also don't worry about the base, I'll complete it as per your requirements. It will take around a week to be done."
