Chapter 1270: The Items
“Let’s go,” Ning said to the ground and walked away from the place, taking a different road.
Emma quickly followed next to him, holding his arm. “What was that about, papa?” she asked.
“What do you mean?” Ning asked. “What was what about?”
“You know what I’m asking about,” she said. “What were you doing there?”
“Oh, I heard the mayor was ill and went to heal him,” Ning said.” I wasn’t aware you were the one that had made him ill.”
“How can you not know that?” she asked. “Doesn’t the system tell you everything?”
“Do you think I’m constantly asking the system what you are doing at all times?”
“I would hope you would,” Emma said with a little pout. “What sort of father doesn’t care about his daughter?”
Ning pinched her nose. “Who said I don’t care about you?” he asked.
Emma hit him lightly on the back. “Don’t pinch me so hard!” she said. “It hurts.”
Ning was the only person ever that could hurt her, so she didn’t like it when he pinched her. “I meant were you not curious where I went to?” she asked.
“I was, and I planned on you telling me where you went,” he said.
“Oh right,” Emma said quickly bringing out the fruit from her storage bag. “Try this.”
Ning took the fruit and ate it. “What’s this?” he asked, chewing on the fruit. “It’s not bad.”
“It’s Tremania fruit,” she said. “It’s something I was told to bring back.”
“Tremania fruit?” Ning hadn’t heard of them before. “Must be a fruit that is local to this country or this continent. The Glacien continent did not have those at all. Where did you get these? In the forest?”
“Yes,” Emma said, eating one herself and feeding three to the beasts next to her.
“Why did you go to the forest?” Ning asked. “Were you bored? Or…”
“I found a shop, like those guilds back at home,” she said. “I went in and found some missions, which turned out to be in the forest.”
“What sorts of mission?” Ning asked.
“You’ll find out soon enough,” Emma said. “The shot is actually close by here.”
“Just tell me,” Ning said excitedly.
“Why? Just wait,” she said. “You didn’t care enough to know where I was before. Why are you suddenly so curious?”
“Okay, okay, jeez. No need to get grumpy,” Ning said, while getting hit by Emma in the back once more.
They arrived at the shop and walked inside while leaving the beasts outside. Emma quickly ran to the counter and spoke to the guy there.
“Hello, I’ve completed a few missions. What do I do now?” she asked.
“Just get the—”The man paused and looked at Emma. “You completed a few missions?”
“Yes,” Emma said.
“What sort?” the man couldn’t help but ask.
“Uhh… the gathering ones,” Emma said.
“Ah! I see,” the man said. “Bring me the paper of the mission you completed if it’s still there. If it is not, I cannot accept it.”
“Understood,” Emma said, dragging Ning over to the board. “Pick me the missions I say okay?”
Ning looked at the board and back at his daughter. “You cannot read, can you?” he asked.
“Tremania fruit,” she said, ignoring her father. Ning sighed and searched for the thing she asked for.
“Maybell flowers,” she said. Ning picked up that as well.
“Stairway Fren.”
Ning picked up that, and the others that she named one after another.
Ning nodded, picking every single one as she told it, which caused the people around them to look at the two in shock.
One of them was the young man that had helped Emma read the papers earlier on. He had come back after completing a mission and was looking for another one to do. He looked at one of the missions and was a little surprised.
As Ning and Emma walked away, he couldn’t help but wonder how the two of them could have ever completed this. They weren’t strong at all.
Ning walked along flipping through the missions, stopping at the most surprising one. It was the same one the other young man was surprised about.
“You completed this?” he asked.
Emma looked at the mission and nodded. “Yeah, this was the easiest,” she said.
Ning looked at the mission and frowned for a bit. ‘Easiest? How is this the easiest?’ he couldn’t understand.
Emma snatched the papers and quickly presented them to the man on the counter. The man was a little surprised.
“Woohoo! That’s a lot of missions you have there,” he said, taking them and picking up the first one.
“Place the proof in this place as I name them then,” the man said. “Maybell flower.”
Emma placed the flowers on the plate as proof. The man nodded and switched to an empty place. “Starstruck leaves.”
Emma placed black leaves with glittering white specks on them into the plate. The man nodded and changed the place again.
One after another he named the mission and Emma put the items as proof.
“Finally, Flamelord… ” the man paused when he half-read the title. “What?” he looked up. “You have the Flamelord Deer’s Antler?”
“I do,” Emma said. “Bringing out the Flamelord Deer’s flaming Antler and placing it on the plate as well.
The appearance of the Antler caused a stir in the shop, making everyone come look at it.
“Where did you get this from, girl?”
“Did you hire someone to kill the deer?”
“You didn’t get this thing.”
“Are we sure that’s not fake? Can anyone tell?”
The people cried out over the antler. Ning was quite surprised as well, but not for the reasons they were.
Ning knew about the Flamelord Deer. He knew about every beast on the planet. As such, he knew that only the Flamelord Deer could use its antler.
For a human to use the antler, he would have to take it out of the deer and that would involve hurting the deer badly, or worse even killing it.
And he could not imagine his daughter being capable of doing either of those things to a living thing.
