Thankfully, the hawkers here still have some seasonings, so the food was still quite tasty. It was much better than he thought.
Then, Shane considered whether he should hatch the egg that he had bought just now, but in the end, he decided to do it tomorrow in the Fairy Realm itself. In any case, he planned to let them mature inside the fairy realm as well.
After some time, although they were already about to sleep, the camp outside still buzzed with activity…
"Go ahead and sleep… If we're in danger, I'll immediately know." Shane said as he noticed that Lysandra was still on guard. It seemed that she didn't trust the people here as well.
That was actually not surprising as they received numerous stares after walking around. It was all because of their clothing, which had higher tiers than what the others had. Nonetheless, Shane had an A.I. Cloud with him, and this A.I. could monitor their surroundings 24/7, so they should be fine.
"Mhmm…" Lysandra fully trusted Shane's words and fell asleep after a few minutes.
Thankfully, the night passed without any accidents, although Cloud reported that a few people were monitoring their rooms.
"I guess they're worried that we're going to cause trouble…" Shane mused since he believed that although the two of them were wary of the residents here, these people were also wary of them. It wasn't surprising that some people would monitor them in case they caused some trouble.
Anyway, as the morning came, Shane immediately checked his Survivor Store and confirmed that there weren't any interesting items being sold.
Nonetheless, he still purchased some Zombie Lures and others like food that were being sold.
After a quick breakfast, Shane then turned to Lysandra.
"I'll be away for about eight hours or maybe even less... I'll try to be quick. Once I return, we will be crossing the bridge. Right, you might encounter some danger while I'm away, so take this to protect yourself."
Shane said as he handed over his Sentinel Sphere and two of his Talisman of Lightning from Aya…
After thinking for a bit, Shane decided to add more, and he gave Lysandra a Tier 4 Silent Step Boots.
He believed that this was enough to escape this place if she was ever cornered.
"Sir Shane… This is too much…" Lysandra said as she completed her appraisal of the items. She realized just how precious they were!
Especially the Sentinel Sphere, which she had never heard of until now.
"It's fine… In any case, do you have an item in mind already?" Shane asked, referring to the item that Shane offered to be upgraded to Epic Grade for free for being a member of the Eclipse Revenant.
After hearing this question, Lysandra hesitated for a moment since she already had one in mind. It was her only accessory, a Ring she obtained after looting a Wolf Zombie.
It was the very first "item" she obtained aside from Bread, Water, Zombie Cores, and Spirit Enhancement Bottles.
At this time, she had already spent 13 Item Upgrade Crystals to make it an Exceptional Grade item. In short, she needed 30 crystals to make it a Master Grade and another 100 crystals to reach the Epic Grade.
Shane wasn't sure whether she'd encounter a danger while Shane was away so she might as well have one of her items reach an Epic Grade. Soon, she decided to give her ring to Shane.
"This one… Please make it an Epic Grade, Clan Leader." She said with a determined voice.
Shane replied as he took out the required Item Upgrade Crystals before he started the ritual.
The process didn't take a long time since the process had a 100% Success Rate.
Of course, Shane was interested in seeing its new effects, so he immediately checked it.
[ Wolf Spirit Ring ( Epic ): A ring crafted from the fang of a mighty wolf, radiating an aura of a wolf's strength and ferocity.
Effects: +20% Damage to Wolves, +15% Health Regeneration
Howl: Summons two spectral wolf companions with 300 Vitality Points to aid in combat. Duration: 300 seconds. Cost: 150 Spirit Points. ]
Shane was satisfied with this since it deserved to be called an Epic Rank with such a good Special Effect.
"Thank you, Clan Leader!" Lysandra immediately showed her appreciation as she couldn't help but hug Shane in the process.
It only lasted for a moment as Lysandra wanted to quickly wear the ring…
"Alright… You can go ahead and explore your new items for now. I'll be going now."
Shane said as he returned to his room to enter the Fairy Realm.
[ Do you wish to activate the Title's Effect? ]
The system prompt inquired.
"Yes." Shane affirmed.
[ You will be transported to the Fairy Realm. The duration will be 8 hours ]
In an instant, the fabric of space seemed to twist and warp around him. At this time, Lysandra had no idea that Shane was entering another realm and was still busy with her new Epic Grade item!
Shane felt the familiar aura and scent of Fairy Realm as he entered the realm. The world around him had surely changed as he felt that this place was truly rejuvenating.
Currently, the air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the gentle flap of the fairy's wings.
"Welcome back, Lord Shane!" a cheerful voice called out.
Shane turned to see Axis, a small fairy with lustrous wings, flying around him in joyful circles. She seemed so excited about his arrival.
Her smile was infectious, and her eyes sparkled with delight... Well, she was mostly left alone in this place after he had taken out his Pets. It wasn't surprising for her to act this way.
"I'm back, Axis…" Shane replied, a smile tugging at his lips. "How's the situation here?"
Axis beamed, her wings fluttering excitedly. "Everything is flourishing, Lord Shane! Come, see for yourself!"
Shane gently nodded as he followed Axis as she led him through his small piece of land.
