386 # 367 Mizuki Town Aquas and Half Elves.txt (1/2)

What we saw as we passed through the barrier and entered the water tree town of Aquas was a town that looked exactly like Venice.

Narrow waterways flowed through the town, and NPCs were moving around in gondolas. It's a sight like this that makes me excited.

However, there is a definite difference between this and Venice. It's a big tree in the center of the town. Probably, it is a water tree. Just the presence of the tree makes you feel like a fantasy.

Then I was approached by an NPC.

''Hm?　This surprised me. You didn't come through the mangrove forest, did you?

Oh, yes.

That's quite a feat for someone so young. Welcome to Aquas. If you're looking for a ship, that's where you can put it.

Thank you!

I followed the ship as I was told and put the Arkwurm away in my inventory. In the meantime, I was given the location of the Adventurer's Guild, and I headed to the Adventurer's Guild.

At the Adventurers' Guild, I heard about this town. I found out that this town is in Elixir Lapis, but it's a major transportation hub that borders Freetia, Wizard Orb, and Paladin Lord. Naturally, it seems that Wizard Orb and Paladin Lord can be reached from here.

Furthermore, it seems that you can make a grimoire here. I heard that you can learn how to make it at the library, so after lunch, I decided to head over.

I have lunch and log in. I warp to Aquas, the town of water trees, and go to the library as soon as possible. I paid for a gondola ride and got a ride to the library. The view from the gondola is exceptional.

When I entered the library, it was a building mainly made of wood, unlike Freetia. This is quite a fantasy in its own right.

As soon as I spoke with the receptionist, I found out that the materials are important. The main materials are leather, paper, ink and brushes.

Paper and brushes are available. The ink is a mixture of special magic ink and your own blood.

And then there's leather... this is a lot of things. It is said that if you use the leather of a strong monster, it will make you stronger. I'm not sure what to do.

Are you having trouble with leather?

When he was called out to me, I turned around and saw the elf there. Oh no!

'Hmm. You'd be surprised, too. I'm Risha. I'm the mayor of this town and the half-elf who manages the water tree. When I say half-elf, I mean my ancestors' elves are a long time ago.

Wait a minute. I'm not following.

It's like... you know me.

'That's enough. He's a celebrity among the elves. After all, he's a summoner who signed a contract with the elves.

There's more to it than that. If the elf has told you about me, you know what I've done.

'Do not be alarmed. I don't have a very good relationship with the elves. I'm half.

That's what happens in the human world, too. I let my guard down.

'Huh... so what can I do for you?'

'Yes. I'll tell you about me and I'll tell you at my house. I'm sure it's not a bad story.

Okay.

Leesha's house was in a giant water tree. 'Awesome.

''Well, let me start by telling you about myself. As I said before, I'm the mayor of this town, but I'm the only one who can manage this water tree. However, I feel like I'm the mayor of the town because I'm the only one who can manage this water tree. All the water in this town comes from this water tree.
