9 Chapter 9 – Intelligent sister Fen (2/2)

'I want to know more but she seems to have told me all she knows. It seems I will have to make a visit to the guild myself when its made.'

”Big sis Fen, lets read the next book.” He tugged on her sleeve.

”Yes, Young master!” Having gotten a chance to show off her knowledge on the earlier subject had put her in a good mood. So she smiled and pulled up the next book letting Adam flip through it.

This book repeated similar topics about dungeons and did not have much in the form of new information.

The basic points were:

The unruled plains had 3 dungeon's, 1 was the newly emerged one in Two fang City itself, one in Grey Stone city and the last in Straw Roof city.

Ore dungeons. These were dungeons with a concentration of earth attributed monsters like golems. These monsters, when killed, would leave behind carcasses of the ore they were made of. For example, Copper golems. The carcass of this golem could be smelted into copper ingots. Grey Stone city was a mining town because its dungeon was an ore dungeon.

Lastly, monsters were basically more robust form's of the animals from his previous life. The major differences being they would usually grow to unimaginable sizes and had the ability to evolve. It was said that they could even gain a certain intelligence if they reach a high enough level.

Apparently, taming a monster was a big part of an adventurers life. Most people would have a companion beast. They could be used to attack or defend depending on the situation. They were almost like an extra pair of hands.

In a dangerous line like adventuring where people apparently, lost their lives on a daily basis. Beasts were seen as a great tool.

Closing the book and putting it aside, Fen Looked at the boy in her lap.

Adam was currently Bobbing his head incoherently with his eyes drooping. He was still a two-year-old.

Looking towards the windows she realized he had spent the whole day reading. It was already dark out.

She picked him up. Carrying him she led the way toward the dining area where they had a quick dinner together before she carried him to his room and lay the sleeping boy on the bed.

”young master is already so diligent and smart. Soon I won't be able to teach him anything.” She lamented at the inevitable faith.

”No point thinking of such sad things. The young master needs me now, so I will teach him everything and take care of him.” While she was cheering herself up a beautiful woman was walking up behind her.

”Fen,” Yuki called out to the girl in the room. ”Has he gone to sleep already?”

She was dressed in a yukata with lace on its edges around the sleeves and the hem of the bottom. She was a mesmerising sight to behold. An ornate pin was placed through her hair, holding it up.

”Reporting to mistress! The young master spent the day reading with me and has already had dinner before going to bed.” This was a daily routine for her. Though Yuki would usually come earlier and have dinner together with Adam occasionally.

”Good.” She nodded curtly.”He is growing so Fast. I wish he would stay like this forever.”

She had set this lodge up to provide a place for her and Adam to live peacefully but now this was what kept her away from him most of the time. This was her biggest dilemma.

Fen watched the constantly changing expressions of her mistress from the side.

”Ahh! Who cares I'll just shut down this whole damn place and spend all my time with my son if I have to!” Yuki declared after a round of internal debate. She was usually a calm and calculating person. The only time she would be impulsive was when it came to her son.

This could be seen from how she was able to set up such a well-running lodge in a span of two years.

”Mistress, You cant.” Fen went pale on the side just thinking about it. This crazy mother might actually do it.

”Hmm, you girls better shape up then! Its because I have to teach you everything that I get to spend so little time with him.” She harrumphed. She said it like this but she truly cared for the girls as well. Otherwise, she wouldn't spend so much time on them.

”yes, mistress!” She had spoken loudly right then. The girls in the corridor who had heard her also replied instinctively.
