Once we logged back into Arcadia through our Avatars, we found out the Dwarven City was already half-way done! Not kidding, the dwarves worked through the entire night until now, without resting at all. The most surprising thing is that none of them seemed all that exhausted. There were a lot of golems helping on carrying things too.
"Ah, welcome, Lady Planta!"
"It is Sir Titan as well!"
"Why, even Lady Lily!"
"Our heroes have returned!"
"Thanks to your plants and trees surrounding the forest, no monsters have come closer now!"
"We are very thankful!"
"Oh, I just prepared this pie! Do you want a few slices?"
"I roasted this whole boar! Want a big leg?"
"Want to try out my freshly baked bread?!"
"Lady Planta! I've got you a big sack filled with jewels just for you!"
Not only they were thankful, but many of them were also so grateful they swarmed us and started giving us all sorts of items, from jewels to food, to ores, we respectfully accepted them all while thanking them, as we made our way to the castle.
"Thank you so much!" I thanked them all. "You don't really need to go so far though, but thanks!"
"I am really grateful; this pie is really tasty." Mark said while munching on a cranberry pie slice.
"Hehehe, thank you!" Lily giggled. "Gee, where is Jenny and Rita though? With them we could divert their attention a bit more…"
"Jenny had yet to log-in, she lives quite farther from my house, but I bet she'll log-in whenever she got time. Rita must be busy with her family, she usually log-ins late at night when she's busy." I explained.
We decided to swiftly move to the castle as we received a message from Acorn saying he was there with Nieve, the King, and the Princess, alongside Richard. Once we arrived in front of the castle, the guards happily greeted us, and while gifting us souvenirs, they opened the gates for us to enter.
Damn, our reputation had given a really enormous flip! From complete strangers, we were now the most respected heroes of the entire city…
"Welcome, my heroes!" The Dwarf King said happily, greeting us in a large room within the castle filled with a pile of treasures, weapons, armor, and many materials.
"Oh, Lady Planta and everyone! You really came." Said Brisingra. "It seems that "message" function Acorn talked about was true."
"Indeed, we are pseudo players, so we got the ability to send messages, or even join the guilds where only players can join!" Said Acorn pridefully. "Lady Planta, we were currently looking at materials and treasures, because we were helping the king and the princess reorganize the kingdom's riches."
"And thanks to all the high-quality materials that those monsters dropped, our kingdom's funds have been almost completely refilled! The money we'll lose buying resources and other things to reconstruct our city has been completely paid with these." Richard said happily.
"It is a tiring job though." Nieve sighed. "My liege, when will be returning to our home? I miss the forest and Queen Titania very dearly."
"We'll go back today!" I said. "Though, I've got a few things to check on…"
And that was checking on personal quests, something that now became available for some of the people of this Kingdom.
