"I'm very satisfied." Sophia chuckled.
She didn't have much idea on her own about the magic beasts' selection aside from the general idea. After all, the number of magic beasts known by the world was limited and it was impossible to make detailed plans in the past.
They were all walking the path that has never been taken before.
And Sophia knew very well that what Riya had provided her was already more than enough.
These magic beasts were powerful enough for her to take care. Most importantly, having a separate space was simply convenient.
Sophia had long been thinking about leaving the Carson Family and if she could live outside… isn't it much better?
Perhaps Riya had some guesses about her attitude towards the Carson Family.
That's why she suggested this magic beast.
"In that case, I won't stop you." Riya chuckled and stepped to the side while Sophia concluded the contract with the Castle Turtle. The Castle Turtle itself was very gentle in nature, which is why it was easy for Riya to bring it up.
After all, the Castle Turtle didn't have much means of attack but its defense and hiding ability was top notch.
As long as their contractor stayed inside, the strong defense of the Castle Turtle would be able to protect them.
Riya and Sophia talked for a bit more before they went their separate ways. Sophia wanted to familiarize herself with the Castle Turtle while Riya wanted to go back to the crack and hunted some magic beasts.
'Now that I have reached rank 7…' Riya looked at the large number of magic beasts in front of her and smiled.
It was time for a hunt.
The next day, Riya saw Samuel was ready on the gate and looked at him in confusion.
"Is there anything wrong?" Samuel asked back when he saw Riya's gaze on him. He was sure that his dresses were not stained or anything like that.
"No… I'm just thinking that we can actually leave from your residence, right? I have set up a teleportation formation there," Riya replied with her lips twitched.
After she finished hunting a large number of magic beasts, Riya went back to rest. She also encounter a rank 7 magic beast but it wast still very easy to deal with it, which made her a bit bored.
Thankfully, she didn't enter the crack solely for practice but more because she wanted to collect a lot of materials to make formation and so on. So after hunting for more than 6 hours, Riya came back to rest.
The process was not that difficult, but her heart would grow restless because she was killing a large number of magic beasts in such a short period of time. No matter what, she had to manage her mental state or she wouldn't be able to calm down.
It might be a bit similar to the demonic magician.
The difference is that demonic magician actively absorb the magic beasts' blood, which contaminated their mental state by the way.
But the other ordinary profession could only feel this way if they started a massacre and killed a lot of creatures. Even if the one that they killed was the magic beasts, but their mental state would still be impacted to a certain degree.
"It's better to walk," Samuel said lightly when he saw the look on Riya's face.
In terms of killing, he believed that he had killed much more magic beasts as compared to Riya. After all, he came to that kind of family in that world and if he wanted to practice his sword, it's better to let the sword kill real magic beasts.
His best method is offense.
It meant that he had killed a lot of magic beasts that had strong defense to be able to be worthy of this name.
On the other hand, Riya is a rune master. While her own combat ability is not strong, Samuel could guess that Riya should not step forward on the frontline to collect most of her materials on her own.
With so many other people wiling to work hard to gather materials in exchange for money, Riya could easily gather all materials that she wanted without even leaving the city.
Some special materials required her to travel in person.
It would also train her battle instinct and so on.
But most of the time, Riya would not leave the city and would stay there to practice and also to make a lot of formations. Because this was how the rune masters usually lived and improved themselves.
"Mhm." Riya looked at Samuel's expression and finally nodded.
"Also, I need to let those people know that I have left City A Base for a period of time again," Samuel said lightly.
"…Are they trying to make trouble?" Riya frowned.
"There are some game among the higher ups, but it wouldn't really affect our lives," Samuel replied without hesitation. Chapters first released on novᴇlfire.net
There might be some people who wanted to reach out their hands, but Samuel has long stopped them with some means and his father was also helping him. As a returnee himself, there were many people who wanted to take advantage of him and made him do various things.
Samuel felt sick when he thought about those greedy people.
He was only glad that there were still many good officials who cared for people who were staying on top. These people truly understood that they had to work together and worked hard for the sake of the people.
Even if they have their own weaknesses and imperfections, it was still better than those people who coveted power for themselves.
"You've worked hard," Riya said helplessly.
In terms of negotiation and so on, Riya was not very good. She was too softhearted and was really not suitable to become a businessman.
After all, she was not black hearted businessman in front of her who could easily arrange the distribution that would make sure that he could get a lot of profits as possible.
