The air was choking, and just when I was about to forget how to breath, Incus then began walking.

Looking up in the sky it wrote:

[Chapter 139: A simple stroll]

...

Walking outside, Incus thought to herself:

’I’m quite hungry, it’s been a while since I’ve had a proper meal... I wonder if they have anything interesting to munch on.’

Heading towards the market, there wasn’t much to see except for weapons and armory, and the only things that were edible were beef jerky and protein food.

With a disappointing sigh, the boy who she gave golden coins to appeared out of nowhere.

"Whats the matter great patron, is the place not to your liking? If there’s something you want then tell me and I’ll make sure it’s delivered to you!" The boy clenched his fists.

Patting the boy’s head, Incus smiled gently.

"If you’re really up to the task then go and get me something to eat, I’m quite famished you see. Make sure that it isn’t beef jerky or protein food, I want something that will make my tongue dance in happiness."

Pondering for a moment, the boy bowed.

"Your wish is my command, just wait around here for a moment and I’ll find a place where your needs are met." Standing back up, the boy raised up a thumb.

Incus raised a thumbs up back.

Running off into the distance, Incus looked around the market.

Standing in front of a shop, weapons were displayed.

Reading the descriptions of them with her system, she slightly frowned.

’None of these are worth buying, even the elite knights of Jansoara wouldn’t use these.’

The weapons she was referring to were unrefined steel weapons, the purity of it’s material was so low that it wouldn’t last a second in the hands of Incus.

Looking at the other shops, there was a few that were better but none of them were note worthy in her eyes.

However, something then piqued her interest.

Grabbing an item and raising it to her face, she focused on it’s description.

[Made from the blossom of strength, this potion will strengthen oneself]

After tossing a coin, the shopkeeper looked at her with skepticism.

"A gold coin? That potion is nothing but a worthless farming tool, so you shouldn’t drink it... I reccommend you buying this instead!" The shopkeeper held up a sword.

Focusing on it, Incus winced.

’That sword is nothing but junk, how dare an this bastard insult me... I should just kill him right now.’ Incus opened her palm behind her back, preparing to summon a hero sword.

Looking around the market, Lieur didn’t need anything as she had stockpiled in arrows, however I noticed that she was looking at something intently.

"Notice something you like Lieur?" I asked, shifting my attention to where she was looking to.

"It’s throwing daggers connected to metal strings, I’m thinking on whether I should get it or not... what do you think captain?" Lieur touched the steel strings.

Looking around, I gestured for Vertere to come forward when he noticed me staring at him.

"What is it now? I hope you’re not going to order me to fight a shopkeeper." He groaned.

Smacking him in the head, I gestured for him to get the throwing daggers with steel strings connected to them.

Gesturing back, he called me insane... so I smacked him on the head again.

Covering his head, Vertere walked back and used illusionary magic to make him look like an unsuspecting wooden box.

Vertere then slowly crept to the front of the shop and forever borrowed the steel stringed daggers.

He then slowly crept away, as we followed him.

Turning back to his original form, Vertere handed over the weapon.

Yanking out of Vertere’s hand, Lieur immediately began using it.

She skillfully made the steel strings twirl around in the air.

Pulling down the strings, it wrapped around me and Lieur pulled me in closer to her.

The face of a tanned beauty being mere centimeters away from my face.

"Well, what do you think captain?" Lieur grinned.

"It’s great Lieur... but can you unhand me?" I squirmed, the steel string making sparks as it tightened around the force armor.

...

"I found the perfect place that accommodates your needs great patron!" The boy said suddenly, appearing out of nowhere.

Lowering her hand, Incus placed the potion inside the pocket of her [Hero’s crimson Cloak]. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Following the boy, Incus soon stood in front of a small rough looking building.

Seeing as the boy was wearing an expression of pure happiness, Incus sighed and walked inside.

Surprisingly it was quite clean, the place was well decorated.

"Welcome to ’cute sugar cookies’ ma’am, please follow me and take a seat!"

Nodding, Incus was led to a table fit for one.

Pulling over a chair since there was only one, the boy sat next to Incus.

"So what are we eating today great patron?" Greeted a lady in a maid’s outfit.

Scoffing at the audacity of the boy, Incus skimmed through the menu before ordering two plates of pudding.

Not even a minute later, the lady had placed down the two plates of pudding.

"Would you look at that, the serving is quite big isn’t it?"

Tossing a gold coin at the lady, Incus began eating.

Tapping Incus on the shoulder, the lady opened her hand, the gold coin on her palm.

"I’m sorry but it seems that you’ve overpaid, we can’t accept this..."

Finishing her plate, Incus replied:

"Then give me a plate of everything, equivalent to the coin’s value."

Nodding, the lady ran back and forth as plates began stacking up.

Raising his shirt, the boy padded his belly.

"Fooo, I’m stuffed! That was the greatest meal I’ve ever had!"

"I suppose so." Chuckling, Incus looked up at the ceiling.

’It’s not a bad idea to spoil myself once in a while but I should hurry up and get going, the days of these calm times are growing short.’ Incus thought to herself, before standing up.

"Are you headed somewhere great patron?" The boy asked.

Giving the boy a gentle smile, she waved a hand and left.

Outside the inn, she summoned the [lightning hero’s sword], using it’s ability to cloak her in lightning.

Squatting into a running start, she bolted off into the distance.
