Blood Assimilation-Chapter 259

259 Leaving Alpheotus City

After remembering the deadline for his temporary attributes, he would visit Zophia and would be pointed towards the Imperial City at the Royal Capital to train at this special Coliseum used by Gladiators to fight and entertain the Royal Family of the Imperial City at the capital.

Randy was shocked that such a thing existed in this world. And he wasn’t shocked by the Coliseum. Instead, he was shocked by the fact that the Royal Family, or more precisely, the humans had the time to entertain themselves by watching others fight in Coliseums when their entire race was in danger.

Although he thought that it was outrageous, he didn’t really care as he had already found his solution to turning his temporary attributes into permanent ones quickly. However, there was another issue. Which was the distance from his current location to the Imperial City. This caused Randy a headache as it seemed it would take months to get to the Imperial City by a carriage drawn by magical beasts.

Coincidentally, as he was stuck in a dilemma, the Dungeon Hunters who came from the Capital were planning on heading back to the Capital. They came to say their farewells to the Society Leader. Once they entered the Society Building, they saw Randy having a chat with Zophia and then walked up to him intending to greet him.

Once they got close enough, they overheard their conversion, and they immediately saw an opportunity to befriend this new Dungeon Hunter. This was especially so after hearing about his achievement from the Society Leader.

Vairon and the others came up with a plan on the spot. They would offer to take Randy along with them to the magical teleportation formation that they would be using. Furthermore, he wouldn’t have to pay for its usage since it would be free if he joined them. And since Randy had less money to leave using this magical teleportation formation, he would helplessly accept their offer after contemplating to himself.

The most optimistic among them was undoubtedly Gutz, who had already recovered as he flexed his muscles by putting on any top today. Naturally, the others like Vairon and Tiana were friendly towards Randy as they were willing to help a junior and also make a friend.

As for Eliana, she didn’t say anything and only nodded in greeting when she saw Randy. Her gaze still felt strange to Randy but he was already getting used to it by now.

Vairon and the others could tell that Randy was quite unfriendly. At first, he tried to ignore their existence when they tried to talk to him, and he only turned their way when he heard them mention the magical teleportation formation, baffling them.

.....

That aside, all that mattered was that Randy had decided to leave Alpheotus City with them. Randy had only spent a few days here, so he barely had any attachments aside from Zophia whom he communicated with the most in this city.

Meanwhile, the Society Leader was thrilled when he heard the news that Randy would be leaving with them as that would unintendedly contribute to their Society for offering such a genius Dungeon Hunter and a possible recruit. Their funds from the Royal Family would only increase if this went through, not to mention the commissions.

Before the day of their departure, the Society Leader called Randy over and handed him a pouch to him with some things inside.

“These are the Elemental Essence Crystals that you requested. And before you ask, no, you don’t have to pay for them.” The Society Leader said to him afterwards. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Randy was slightly surprised by this as he was certain that it must’ve cost a lot to purchase the Elemental Essence Crystals based on the weight of the pouch. By his estimates, there should be more than seven Elemental Essence Crystals. But he couldn’t tell how many there were specifically since the pouch was a magic item like his black spatial ring.

The Society Leader continued: “I have already deducted the amount needed from the money that you’ll be receiving for defeating the two demons.”

Hearing these words, Randy rolled his eyes inwardly. He thought that the Society Leader was giving it to him for free, but it turned out that wasn’t the case. He was essentially still the one who paid for it.

‘This brat almost caused a serious case with that vixen from the long-eared tribe. I didn’t know that he was that fierce, even against women. Though I understand where he’s coming from as that woman was simply too much. I would’ve beaten her myself if not for her status.’ The Society Leader frowned as he thought about how he had to repeatedly lower himself to that old wench from the long-eared tribe.

While the long-eared humans were no longer participating in the wars between races, they still weren’t people that they could trifle with. Thus, the Society Leader immediately rushed to handle the situation when he sensed the unique power of the long-eared humans. ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

Fortunately, nothing drastic had occurred before he arrived, and he was able to salvage the situation in time. Even if he didn’t like the attitude of that woman, he still couldn’t be the reason a conflict would arise between their kind.

Randy suddenly interrupted the Society Leader’s thoughts with a question: “So when should I expect to receive my money for those two demons? I still have their corpses in my spatial ring, after all.”

“Ah.”

The Society Leader snapped back to reality and said: “About that... We don’t have enough funds to give to you at this branch. I was already requesting someone from the Imperial City to come over and handle the appraisal, but that won’t be necessary anymore. Once you reach the Royal Capital, head to the Imperial City Branch of the Society and submit the demons to them. Tell them my name and they should give you your rewards.”

“I see...”

Randy didn’t say much as he pondered for a moment before asking some more questions regarding some things. After receiving the answers he needed, he left right away to prepare for his departure that would be happening early at dawn as it was already getting late presently.

...

The following day, Randy woke up early. After saying his goodbye to Zophia, who had woken up early to see him off, and the Society Leader, he went to the front of the building to meet up with Vairon, Gutz, Tiana, and Eliana.

Before they left the vicinity of the Society Building, Vairon approached him.

“Randy, are you all set to leave?” Vairon asked him.

“Yes.” Randy nodded and said: “Once again, thank you for bringing me along with you guys.”

Although he felt awkward being with these experienced Dungeon Hunters, he still appreciated their help in bringing him along.

“Don’t mention it, don’t mention it.” Vairon repeated these words as he waved both of his hands dismissively with a smile on his face.

He then asked: “Right, have you made sure that you didn’t forget anything? You wouldn’t be able to come back here in a short time if you left with us without bringing everything with you.”

“Yes. I have all my things inside my spatial ring.” Randy confirmed.

“Spatial ring?” Vairon raised his eyebrows in slight surprise, but not for long.

The next moment, he turned away from him and said in a loud voice: “Alright, let’s head out everyone! We have much to look forward to once we return!

After confirming things with Randy, Vairon announced to everyone before taking the lead. He led them in the direction of the magical teleportation formation operation facility, which was not that far away from the Society Building.

At this time, Gutz came close to Randy and began a conversation with him. Most of their topics were about how they trained their bodies and their daily training routine.
