The group had visited various shops, but Logan was particularly drawn to the magical tool shop, wanting to spend more ti there.
He got various ideas with each new item shown.
So tools were simple, like heating using fire mana stones or producing water using water magic stones. One tool he was particularly interested in was a combination of wind and earth stones to produce a small but primitive motor.
If he had a production class that could work with these, he would invest ti into improving that particular invention. However, he considered the potential problems it could cause and decided to push those thoughts aside.
After an hour of shopping, Logan had bought everything he ca for: three monsters, all the items needed to make traps, tools, a few storage rings to help store more water, and, if possible, magical crystals.
His sack of coins did not dwindle in the slightest with everything he bought.
Logan had so far only used the coins that fell out of his large coin bag this morning—the few platinum and gold coins. This ant his wealth would last for so ti, or at least he hoped.
"I am tired just from shopping; I hope we can go to a café or eat sothing before we go," Kai said, while rubbing his stomach.
"I'm sorry, Kai, but we need to head out or I will miss what I need to do next. How about we order takeout?" Logan suggested, but was t with everyone staring at him in confusion.
However, he quickly realized that he was with three otherworlders who did not understand what he ant, as so words could not be translated well.
He had forgotten that magic was used to help the heroes adjust to this world, including his ability to speak in the common tongue.
"You know, like one would take a sandwich to eat at a picnic," Logan explained.
"Oh, that helps when deep in the forest. True, we would just order and place it in our storage—just make sure not to forget. One ti, I placed a drumstick into my storage bag and forgot about it. I took it out almost a year later, and it seed safe. But once I took a bite, it was like eating sewer sli. It was the worst thing I tasted in my life." Kai reeled in disgust just recalling the mory.
"You should periodically remove everything in your storage, clean, and store it again. I've heard of infectious diseases caused by not doing so… even potions struggled to cure them," Chloe added.
"Okay, okay, let's change the subject, also we should take food we can eat along the way. After that, we need to go into the forest. Do you think they will let us go into the southern area where we found the goblin den?" Logan asked.
"I'm sure they have cleansed that area out. It was the first place we reported, and hunters still need to hunt ga, so they can't keep people away from the forest for too long," Chloe replied.
"Well then, we have our destination planned. Let's move quickly—we have at most three hours to go in and back out before night cos," Rubina said, haggard from the day's events but knowing she could be useful in case sothing unexpected happened.
The team hurried and bought what they needed for their outing. After doing so, they t Jas, one of the Rosengards' drivers, and began to ride towards the Southern BeastClaw Forest.
It wasn't such a long trip, and Logan noticed that his usual car sickness didn't happen anymore; he didn't feel quite like himself, though.
An outing just wasn't the sa without the rest of his tad beasts. He wanted to hop on and feel the wind on his new raptor mount. He even missed his sli's soothing touch as it hugged him from beneath his shirt, acting like a portable temperature regulator.
They arrived in the sa area where they had previously seen a lot of adventurers roaming about. Just like their previous visit, everyone was there, minding their own business.
So male Knights and adventurers stared at Rubina and Chloe, but Kai's glare was enough to make them stop having second thoughts about approaching.
Stopping to eat for a while before heading into the goblin den, they made sure to fill themselves to the brim, knowing it would take strength to reach the bottom of the cave.
Entering the forest was probably the best part for his new serpent, which quickly rushed forth trying to find prey. Even Logan's words did not stop the newly tad beast.
His new owl was still perched on his shoulder. It was a little heavier than Zephyr, but it seed to enjoy riding on Logan's shoulder.
[Master, want to sleep,] it said, placing a wing over its face. Amazingly, it balanced itself on his shoulder throughout the journey with the help of its four strange limbs.
[Ping] Logan suddenly heard soone level up. The only one that could have done so had co back slithering.
Basilisk had returned, with a noticeable bulge in its body, moving slower than before.
[Massster, ssatissfied,] it said, trailing behind everyone.
[Alright, just still close this ti, make sure you are with the team,] He warned his new reptilian ta.
Chloe led the group to the area they had explored last ti. It was challenging without Zephyr, but so landmarks, like distinctive rocks and peculiar trees, helped her rember the location, especially with the group pitching in ideas and mories.
Soon they reached the area with a revolting stench; the place was as dirty as ever.
"Okay, there is no doubt this is the place, but before we take one more step, I need to know why we are here again. I don't think anyone is crazy enough to ta more than one goblin. Forgive , Sir Logan, but I know you wouldn't co here for that," Chloe finally asked, wondering if it was worth the effort to enter the wretched place.
"About that, I think it will be better if you two see what is at the very bottom of this place, I won't ask you to enter with but do know it is sothing important for ." Logan said, not fully intending to have them trust him.
It would be even better if both Chloe and Kai stayed behind and yet he knew that it would help if they also ca along.
"Fine, but if it's not worth my ti, I will be charging you for this particular protection, Logan…" Chloe decided to trust the boy; he had not done anything to prove her wrong yet.
"I don't really care if we go in, but at least tell it isn't for any of those pale blue monsters. I wasn't expecting to fight today, and I don't want to ruin my brand new shiny ceremonial sword," Kai begged, lifting his gold and silver sword to hug it.
"Don't worry, I did not encounter any beasts down there, and I doubt we will see any, as during our short walk we didn't find any traces of mutations," Logan replied.
"Alright, I will believe you then. Let's go…" Kai said, using his fingers to pinch his nose.
