Some might think that 10 Canadian Dollars per sapling might be too much, but that was also including the pot price and the ground for the plants, which was a special one filled with the nutrients they need to grow.
If we add on her ability also, I guess she sold them to me quite cheap, it could have easily gone for an even higher price… Anyways, once we got the trees, I decided to plant them inside of my own garden for now.
Why? Well, because if I were to put them in the streets, or some park, or another person's backyard, they might end up being taken away.
Although this entire place is my Domain, I don't plan on prying on other people's houses and privacy.
And once that was done with… Two quests were done before an hour could have passed. I had made sure to turn any normal plant I saw into a Spirit Plant, mostly those at Lily's backyard.
The papers of the quests changed their arrangement of letters and shone brightly in front of us.
[You have completed the [Tier 1 Domain Quest: Plant Trees]!]
[Well done, although thirty trees might not seem like much, they will eventually become protectors of your Domain.]
[Each life you plant will help become the pillar of your Domain, which will therefore create a much purer, healthier, and pollution-free atmosphere.]

[You have completed the [Tier 1 Domain Quest: Spirit Enhancement]!]
[Excellently done, you have enchanted many normal plants into Spirit Plants. They will now become active players within your Domain, feeding you with their essence, even if small, will help your Domain grow stronger over time.]

[By spending this crystallization of Spirit energy, it is possible to slowly strengthen the Domain and improve such facilities.]
[You received [Mystery Seed] x1!]
[A Mystery Seed is the manifestation of your Domain's Theme {Forest of Secrets}, plant it, and just about anything could pop out of the dirt!]
[You received the [Domain Shop] Domain Ability.]
[A small shop has been opened behind your house! You can now spend the Spirit Crystal Coins on its products to enhance your Domain even further.]
A bag of two hundred coins appeared in front of me, materializing out of the Domain's power itself. The coins were beautiful, made of a green jewel, and had auras of spiritual energy of their own.
Although it seemed simple, it was a byproduct of the Domain, not something I could create myself with any of the things I had…
"And this seed, so anything can pop out of this?" I wondered.
"So you truly made a Domain!" Lily said. "It feels so nice the closer we get to your house~ I wonder if I could make one of my own?"
"Nah, not everyone can make one, you lack the capabilities." Smiled the Great Spirit.
"Aww, bummer." Sighed Lily.
"Don't worry about it, my Domain is also yours, Lily!" I smiled. "And let's see what this seed is all about!"
"Okay!" Lily quickly got better after those words.
As we walked to my backyard, I found a nice spot and planted the Mystery Seed in there, gently giving it some Mana, Spirit Essence, and then watering it down.
After barely a minute, the seed started sprouting out, and growing at an incredibly fast pace… Until!
A little guy came out!
It was an adorable little guy… That was the only way I could describe this creature. It resembled a tiny little child, wearing colorful plants, wooden moccasins, and a pointy red hat.
It had shiny blue eyes, and I couldn't see if it had any hair or something… It emanated the hair of some sort of Spirit, but not quite.
And the Voice of the World clarified what it was…
[The [Mystery Seed] has germinated into a [Red Fae of Protection]!]
"A Fae?!" I wondered.
The little guy nodded adorably, suddenly touching the ground and dragging something out of it, a large spear-like weapon made of wood, with a stone tip.
He suddenly bowed his head to me and then looked at us, as if awaiting an order…
"Great Spirit?" I asked her.
"T-That's a Fae, alright." She sighed. "Yeah, I'm surprised you got one so quickly… They're a species of Spirits and Fairies that protect forests and Domains. You got a red one, these are warriors and protectors.
Although it might seem small and unappealing, it will protect your Domain with everything it has, it can draw power from the Domain's Mana and Spirit Energy too, so it can be as strong as the Domain is, plus a bit more."
"Wow…" I was rather amazed. "T-Then, I hope you can protect the Domain from any baddies. Of course, if they don't have any bad intentions, don't mind them."
The little Fae nodded without any other word, and then started marching around the neighborhood… Nobody could see him except me and those I allowed to see him.
"Well, I guess I got myself a little guardian there." I giggled.
"Wow, you're now just making the Forest of Beginnings at home…" My daughter said.
"It was so cute…!" Monica seemed slightly charmed by the little Fae.
"Fufu, I wonder if I could get any of those myself!" Lily wondered.
After we commented about it, I noticed Gabriel walking out of the house, wondering what had happened while he was washing the dishes and cleaning the house, by his request.
"Oh, you grew the Domain even larger, big sis! Amazing!"
He seemed overly joyous about it…
