Although the estimative said that they would finish the work in one month, in the end, the bridge was finished after two weeks. The reason for that was the fact that the elentalists hurried up since they were sick of doing the sa thing for several months. So, they used ditation more often to record their mana. Once Drew noticed that, he delayed his and Billy's return for an extra week. It was a bri of a pain, but in the end, Billy didn't complain. While he worked a lot, he also had the ti to improve his skills considerably.

"Not bad for a month's worth of training, I guess," Billy nodded to himself.
In any case, on the very sa day the bridge was finished, so wagons ca from the other side. So were gifts from Jean, while others were just peddlers planning to make money in a new place. They hesitated at first since they never saw a bridge that big and it was made of magic nonetheless. Still, once they saw the fish attacking the pillars and not even scratching it, they began to cross it. While it wasn't that necessary since the area was peaceful, the workers returning ho would escort them. Only five elentalists would stay behind to keep an eye on the bridge and make repairs when necessary.
In any case, Billy decided to take it easy for a week before visiting Vergena to make business, but he soon realized that he wouldn't have such a peaceful week off. When he stepped on his ho, he saw Kate playing with his siblings while using Earth Manipulation.
"Oh? Hey, Billy, welco back," Kate said.
"Big bro!" Samuel and Samara said in unison before jumping and hugging Billy from the sides.
"Hey… what are you doing here?" Billy asked.
"Billy! That is rude!" Camilla scolded Billy in a harsh tone, which was rare.
"I didn't an anything by that, I am just confused," Billy said.
"Again… why did my kids welco Billy first instead of ?" Drew asked. "Ma'am, does the lord know that you are here?"
"Yes, of course," Kate said. "I am Sorry for intruding."
"No problem, feel free to visit whenever you feel like it," Drew said. "I am happy for your recovery and I am sure that you want to do many things now."
"Yes, thank you very much," Kate said and bowed slightly. "Still, I am going to take my leave because this is a special occasion, I will co back tomorrow."
After Kate left, Billy was being stared at by so reproachful eyes, his siblings and his mother were thinking that he hurt Kate's feelings… even though she left with a smile and saying that she would return tomorrow.
"Seriously, Billy… I thought that you were more mature than that," Camilla said. "First that and then this…"
"That?" Billy frowned.
"You refused the marriage and you didn't even tell us," Camilla said.
"Oh, that… well, she is healthy now, so Edward and her can find another person of suitable age," Billy said. "How many tis do I have to say this… why does everyone ask that?"
"Why did you choose that? Just because she is a bit older… such a sweet girl," Camilla said.
"... I thought you were against that, Mom," Billy frowned.
"I was, but now that she is healthy you don't have to carry such a burden," Camilla explained. "Besides, she is so pretty and likes kids."
Billy frowned since the Kate from his mories was a bit different… She was somber and a bit depressed due to the disease. While she had lived up over the weeks, she still wasn't that cheerful while talking with Billy. In any case, they forgave Billy after a while when he promised that he wouldn't say sothing insensitive anymore.
The next day when Kate ca to visit, Billy was already out, checking the wares of the peddlers. It really was helpful that they worked only selling a single type of thing. While one was selling those fruits that restored energy, another one was selling accessories that had so rare gems, so of those were magical and others were just sold because of their appearance. There was another guy selling weapons as well, but their effects and powers weren't that impressive.
Inda - special fruit that restores five points of health.
Edish - special fruit that restores five points of mana
Somia - - special fruit that restores five points of stamina.
The special fruits were quite pricey… even though the peddler had hundreds of them, each one costs one silver coin. It was like worth a week of Billy's work when he leaves the town. Apparently, they are rather resilient, so they can be eaten even after months after their harvest. They were as big and rounds as apples, but their colors was a bit different, brown, yellow and purple.
The peddler said that so people sell the trees that produces those fruits, but they cost over five gold coins. It seed like worth the cost since they produced at least five hundred of those fruits per year. So, after a full year, they would have paid themselves.. Naturally, Billy didn't have anything even close to a single gold coin… even though he rarely used his money.
