Chapter 159: Collecting More Info Regarding Mystic Art Sacred Lands

I had already over one hundred gold coins in my possession, however I didn't plan to empty my treasury like this. I began to skip the menu items until I reached the cake section where I felt my heartbeats raised by a notch.

The list there was really something else. My eyes saw at least one hundred different types of cakes, the cheapest was ten silver coins while the highest was a very alluring cake that was half in my size approximately, which went by the name of the unicorn cake.

The unicorn cake belonged to the legendary rank of food, and it costs a really frightening number, ten thousand gold coins, ten thousand gold coins just to eat this cake? That was insane, however if one day I got this amount as extra then I would be the insane player to purchase it.

My eyes fell in love with a pink silver white cake that belonged to the silver rank of food. It costs twenty three gold coins, so I could afford it.

"I want this butterfly twin cake."

I pointed to the cake as I said my choice to the waiter who appeared miraculously beside me. it seemed you couldn't underestimate anyone here in this game, not even a waiter.

"Do you want to eat it here, my lady?" he asked.

"No, I will take it with me to eat it later. Prepare it for me and I will take it once I leave from here, and that also applies for their choices too."

I motioned towards my players, who looked at me with doubting looks. They were allowed to buy only one gold coin worth of food, however I bought over twenty gold coin cakes in one go without hesitation.

That was the privilege of being the richest person here in this area, if they wanted to buy more expensive food they should do it with their money.

As for eating elsewhere, that was due to the shortage of time available to us. They still had to arrange the adventure group, and then be ready to go with me to that mystic art sacred land.

As for me, I needed to go back and make some equipment then sell them for more gold coins. This journey was still a mystery to me, I didn't know how long it would take from us and if we could level up there or not.

I also didn't know if there was a place there to buy our necessities, like potions at least. So, I planned to prepare money from now and buy as many supplies as possible, and also cakes for me.

Fortunately I still had some hours left for me back at the blacksmith hall, so I could go back and start forging equipment then sell them at the end. This plan was simple, however it would take at least ten hours to get everything in order and be ready to go on this adventure.

I watched in silence as everyone finished ordering their dishes, which they would receive when we leave here. After they finished, the waiter came to me as he said:

"My lady, the total cost of your team orders is eighty five gold coins, do you want to pay now or when you receive the orders?"

I glanced silently at Elyo and Mony, as they both ordered cakes with three gold coins in cost, which was slightly higher than my upper limit to them. However I didn't argue with that, after all they were girls like me and we girls should support each other, especially when it was related to cakes, right?

"I will pay now, here is the amount."

"Thanks for your generosity my lady."

I paid five more gold coins as a tip, which was welcomed warmly from the waiter. After they left the room, I returned to look at everyone while saying:

"Now, let's talk about that mystic art sacred land test, anyone knows any info about this test or these sacred lands?"

This time the ones who spoke about this were really low, only three began to speak one after another. They were Shin, Rody, and Gabri. Shin started by saying:

"These sacred lands are like what was expected, a battlefield. It was our lands before some external weird forces made up of demons invaded these lands. Since ages old the mystic art society considered these areas as their sacred lands. They send their about to be promoted users there to fight in this war and gain massive benefits in the process."

Shin's words confirmed my guess, it was really a war. However, that raised my curiosity to a higher level, as to which enemy could face the mighty forces of mystic art society all this time and still be alive and invading? That was interesting. Rody then added:

"The war there is very fierce, and many can lose their lives without exception. These lands are divided into layers, with each layer designed for a certain level and rank of the mystic art users participating in this challenge. I heard from a friend who attended one of these tests about the situation there. The main issue is the atmosphere, as these demons had manipulated the environment there to be unfriendly with any mystic art user, so they approved of bringing normal players as escorts to the mystic art user."

I asked at once:

"What is the change there? did your friend tell you about it?"

"Yes, he said the toll over the mystic art users in using their mystic arts was doubled and even tripled. Although the mystic art users can kill many demons with their arts, they could reach the critical hunger point rapidly, and then they would either be killed by over-exhaustion or under the flood of a large number of demons," Rody replied.

I gritted my teeth as I recalled the stressed moments I had back then in the forest when my hunger value exceeded the ninety mark. If the situation there was like this, then it wouldn't be an easy trip at all. Twenty players weren't enough to buy me time to rest, not even one hundred.

"But there is a stele there where you can exchange your points for supplies like cake," Gabri suddenly said.

"Points?" I asked with a loss.

"Yes, every demon you or any player under you kill will give you a point, and that will be added to your personal record and ranking. There is a new ranking for those who just recently participated in this war, in addition to other ranks like hot rank, veteran rank, aspiring rank, and over all rank," Gabri explained.

"but the cost for a single cake isn't low, as the lowest cake there needed at least one thousand point," Rody added.

I looked towards him as I said:

"One thousand isn't hard for me to kill."

"Yes, but that would empty nearly half of your hunger value, in return you will only have one cake that would give you at maximum ten points in your hunger value," Gabri said.
