Pov Nira:
Since we arrived in the Dark Continent I have been feeling very good in the short ti I've been out of the Dungeon, I thought that a place with miasma spread throughout the environnt would be more aggressive for as a Human.
But to my surprise it was very comfortable, I felt the sa thing even stronger when we entered the land full of undead, that place felt as pleasant to as being on the beach, and it made start to wonder what was wrong with .
When I went to talk to the doctor, Dr. Alan was a Demon that we saved during the battle in Makari, he was a very kind man, he spent his day helping the townspeople with their health problems or just walking around in a carefree way.
He still had many tools that he brought with him when he was rescued, unlike what others might think, he didn't mind being forced to beco a Demon, in fact, it brought sharper senses to him that he used during his dical appointnts.
After going through so checks of his gadgets and spells, he said there's nothing wrong with , he said he probably knew the reason I was so used to places Humans should avoid.
He said few magic books explain this but contract with so Familiars who beco very attached to their master, at a very deep level they can change the master or the Familiar, maybe even both.
This explanation made sense, Yomi was a Cursed Crow, he lived in environnts full of miasma, besides that his race is always in places where cursed energy is concentrated, like that land of the undead.
I understood why, so I was relieved not to be sick again, plus this was good news for as the doctor said that it was much better suited to staying in miasma places like Demons and had greater resistance to curses.

I had a lot of jobs in every city we passed but I was also having fun, finding difficult materials or trading with rchants was a cunning contest that I always found fun.

When I arrived at the governnt building that was half finished, because of the monster's attack, I was taken directly to the room where Queens lissa was, it seems that as her castle is very damaged and the reconstruction reforms haven't even started yet, she is using this place to work for now.
As soon as we enter the room where she is in a eting with several officers on her duty, we have to wait for her to finish which takes about 10 minutes, once the officers have left she looks at us with a frown.
"Nice to et you, her majesty." (I)
"My na is Nira, I am here in the service of Zenos." (I)
"You work for that..." (Queen lissa)
"Your Majesty, I advise you to avoid expressing your thoughts so openly, so people may misinterpret her words." (Ivan)
"(Ivan and I don't mind her saying these things, that's because we understand that master Zenos doesn't care about these things.)" (I)
"(But Nix in my shadow is letting so of her bloodlust out, that sure is a warning to Queen lissa.)" (I)
"..." (Queen lissa)
"I imagine you're curious about our presence here today, right?" (I)
Queen lissa spent a few seconds looking at my shadow, she should be worried but she doesn't need to, Nix might scare her a little but she would never do anything without asking permission first.
If I were her I would worry about Layla and Sakura who are much more direct in doing the things they think about.
"You seem like a smart person by that shrewd glint in your eyes and that trained smile on your face." (Queen lissa)
"You are close to the truth, comrce is a big part of my job, the one next to is Ivan, he will be working alongside today." (I)
"What's the deal this ti?" (Queen lissa)
"I would like to negotiate with you so things that would be useful to you and to us." (I)
She keeps an eye on and Ivan, she's analyzing us while she's trying to scare us away with his presence, which won't do any good.
----------
We spent a few hours talking about the cost of copying various books and materials, as well as their prices.
She tried to sell only common items for a price I gladly accepted as she ford a contract based on that before handing the contract over to the God of Comrce to make sure it was fulfilled.
After that, we started the real part of the trading, rare items.
I started with books that the public normally doesn't have access to, after a long discussion, I showed her that we're not interested in Empire secrets, but we want the truly important books from the various areas of creation.
We also deal in various tals and other materials at fair prices.
The books could always be copied, so the negotiation was easier as they wouldn't lose anything, but the materials were different, they are also going through a lot of reconstruction in the Empire and will need materials, so I didn't get much, but I think that I can not complain.
We signed another contract knowing that the worst part of the negotiation would be after that, before continuing we went to a restaurant close by, it would be good to go out and refresh our heads.
In the middle of the afternoon, we resud our negotiations, this ti I had my eye on items from the treasure room and forbidden books.
------------
"I already told you that the Cursed Night Blood Books are out of the question." (Queen lissa)
"You've been saying the sa thing about all the forbidden books." (I)
"There's a reason these books are banned!" (Queen lissa)
"Yes, but there are not only these ways to use these spells, a scholar in the field of magic can use these spells as a reference to create others or alter those sa spells." (I)
"The answer is still no!" (Queen lissa)
Sigh
"Then I don't think we will be able to enter into other agreents." (I)
"Fine by ..." (Queen lissa)
"Just now I was thinking of placing the location of a base for Gregory Roux and his Kira soldiers." (I)
"That's extortion!" (Queen lissa)
