I really like the current condition of the Origin Dungeon. Everyone lives in comfort and peace. In fact they earn income to fulfill their individual desires.
It was all thanks to Elin. I really should thank him someday. But right now, I'm heading somewhere. Where are you asking? Surely a tavern inside this Dungeon! Precisely on the 5th floor of Origin Dungeon.
‘Trring ting!’
The sound of the bell placed behind the door sounded so melodious when I opened it. Even though I don't really care about eating and drinking in this virtual world, I still do it occasionally.
The reason is very simple. That's because I can enjoy food and drink to my fullest without having to think about the condition of my body in the real world!
A moment after I entered the tavern, a friendly voice was heard greeting me.
“Welcome, Mr. Eric.” Said the owner of this shop.
She is a Goblin with a female gender. Or maybe it's more convenient if I call it a woman. After all, her face was pretty enough for a monster with green skin and gray hair.
“How are you, Tia?” Reply with a smile.
“Very good, Mr. Eric. It's all thanks to all your kindness.” Reply Tia.
The condition of this store is now not too crowded but also not too quiet. It seems that some visitors in the form of Goblin and Kobold are enjoying their dishes at a neatly arranged table in this shop.
While me? I chose to sit in front of Tia. It faces a long table that borders between the store employee and the buyer.
“Is it as usual, Mr Eric?” Ask Tia.
I just nodded while looking at the conditions inside this tavern. The atmosphere of this shop is very comfortable. The dim light from the lanterns hanging on each side of the room was beautiful to me.
Moreover, a cool breeze that blows several times in this room. The wind was coming from a rune made by the Kobolds. The effect is quite simple, namely issuing low-level wind magic, Window Blow.
The outcome?
A fan made of magic!
‘Aren't these NPCs really great at being able to make this kind of thing?’ I thought to myself inwardly when I saw that rune.
Its form is very simple. An ancient letter in green appears to be inscribed on an obsidian type stone. As for fulfilling the Mana required for the activation of the magic, next to it was a Mana Stone.
Mana Stone is a type of rock that stores a lot of Mana in it. However, because the Mana expenditure is slow enough to make Mana Stone difficult to use in battle. But of course, utilization to increase Mana regeneration is very common.
Where Stone is in many places. But the most common is in the mine area. The deeper the mining is done, the quality of Mana Stones found will also increase. It was not even uncommon to find Mana Ore and Mana Crystal.
But that's a story for another time.
Now it's….
“This is your order, Mr. Eric.” Said Tia while handing over my order.
It's pretty simple. That is roast duck meat and also cold cow milk. Of course I don't forget my favorite salad.
“Thanks, Tia.” Short reply.
Of course I don't plan on eating. Another purpose I've come here is to gather information regarding the state of the Origin Dungeon. More precisely about the condition of the Origin inhabitants.
Although all monsters have absolute loyalty to me, it does not guarantee that all monsters will be able to coexist with each other. Especially between monsters that have racial differences.
Hence….
“So how is the situation around here? Is there a problem or commotion?” I asked Tia while eating my food.
‘I've expected.’ I thought in my heart.
I am quite sure that their loyalty to me does not mean that they will live peacefully with racial differences like this. Moreover, the Kobolds were a slightly higher race than the Goblins.
Should I force them to always live in harmony? Is that doable?
I kept busy with my own thoughts. Sometimes I also ask questions about various other things and rumors that exist.
“On that…. There was a pretty capable tailor from the Goblin race, Mr. Eric. He lives on the 3rd floor with his family.” Reply Tia.
Time passed and the day was getting late. Although…. Dungeon Origin was always in the dark like night. Many visitors have started leaving the store. Until the end only left me and Tia.
That's when…. I started a conversation that was probably a little sensitive.
“Tia, forgive me for always bothering you and making you home late at night.” I said as I sipped the fourth glass of cold cow milk.
“Ti-no problem, Mr. Eric. Of course I will never ignore the presence of my Master.” Reply with nervousness.
“How about your family? Are they okay?”
“My husband still works well as a miner in your new Dungeon, Mr. Eric. Both of my sons grew up healthy. In the meantime I leave them to my neighbor who works as a blacksmith.” Clearly Tia while looking in the distance.
On his face was a gentle and loving smile for his family. Just seeing him makes me happy. If only….
“Mr Eric. Maybe my request is a little selfish but…. Can both my sons join the military? They both seemed very excited when they saw the sword and kept saying that they wanted to be Mr. Eric's sword.
Now Tia showed a slightly sad face. Even so, he still tried to smile. I'm sure he was very worried that his two children might be in a very dangerous situation.
Even so….
She continues to strive to fulfill the wishes and expectations of her two children.
To answer his feelings….
‘Truuk tuk tuk...’
I took out some gold coins from my Inventory and placed them on the table that separated myself and Tia.
“Tu-Master Eric? What the hell does this mean? Didn't I tell you that Mr. Eric doesn't need to..”.
I immediately cut a word from Tia.
“Take some of it and share it with your neighbor who always takes care of your two children, Tia. As for the rest, use it to finance the training of your two children at Knox's military school.
I'm sure with this you can give them both the best food, the best teachers and the most complete equipment. That way, your two children will become so strong that you no longer have to worry about them, Tia.” I was obviously at length with a smile.
But Tia didn't answer.
He could only sit still and cry. But I know, it's not tears of sadness. He continuously tried to speak while wiping his eyes that were flooded by those tears.
“Thanks, Mr.. hiks. L'm…. Hiks...”.
