《The Empath [hidden]》chapter 2
Advertisement
Well I have recently decided to hold a festival in my beginner village just for the heck of it, currently I am gathering meat for the festival it almost reached the quota 60 more wolf's to hunt and I will have 2000 meat, took me 4 days to reach this point, but that's mainly due to me taking my sweet time.
Now I need to prepare for the next thing, can you guess what it is?.........well never mind I can't really hear you even if you did, the answer is fireworks, what decent festival doesn't have fire works, now with my money I can simply buy it, but where is the fun in that so off I go to mining.
Two hours of travel to nearby mine, I was greeted by the huge ass guard.
"I assume you are here to mine my boy, let me explain three simple rules, 80% of what you mine belongs to the kingdom as tax, no stealing from other miners and don't lose this badge" saying so he tossed me a odd looking badge shaped as a strange animal holding a pickaxe, in case you are wondering it's not a dwarf.
After a full facing day I mined 10 fire crystal, 20 earth crystal, 128 bronze ore, 47 iron ore.
After dumping everything in front of the guard and paying the tax in ores, which is 5 bronze for 1 crystal or 2 iron ore for 1 crystal, which left me with 11 crystal, I choose 7 fire crystal and 4 earth crystal.
Now for the process of making fire work I already have the recipie which posted online, anyway I need to do two things one is grinds a few crystal to dust other is fusing the remaining crystal and then smashing it to pellet size.
Now I take a wooden tube made from bamboo, as for where it came from, it is sold in stores as water containers, anyway I coat the inner side of the tube with earth crystal dust using gluey jelly, then I take the remaining dust mix it with fire crystal dust and add the fused crystal that were smashed to pellet size, then I dump the mixture in the tube and voila fireworks ready for display.

After 5 more badges, both food and fire works are prepared, now for drinks what should I do I wonder, I don't really have the skills for brewing it, should I make juice instead, but that could kinda suck for the adults, bah screw it my party my rules, I make my way to the village center again and approach the bored old man with no job to do.
"Hey old man, is there any fruits around here, any special ones or such"
"Ha let me guess it is for the drinks, well boy juices are for kids you know but then again its not my place to complain, well if go deep into the forest you will find a cave inhibited by wolves, inside it you should find plenty of moon berries that thing is dawn good I tell you, it is mainly used for making alcohol so it should disappoint others I guess, anyway beware of the wolves though"
Thanking him I again make my way to the forest, I mostly try to avoid wolves not out of pity but due to the reason of me not needing to hunt anymore for level or meat and it could be waste of my time anyway, reaching the cave though i throughly kill everything in sight since I don't want to be disturbed when harvesting berries.
20 something swiss cheesed wolf later, I am in front of the bushes with funk ton of berries, took me half the dawn day to harvest, well then instead of making juice with the berries I decided to make potions due to sudden spark in my brain during the very long harvesting time.
Making my way back to the village again, I hand over the pelts to the village tailor to make some nice coats and sitting cushion mats for the festival, now let me tell you the cushion mats aren't really anything new but isn't really used by the commoners since they find it a waste to use it as such, anyway after placing the order, I inquire about the next task.

"Humm. ?.....lady, do you have any idea where I can hire some cooks"
"Hahaha I am no lady my boy, just call me sera, as for the cooks do you really expect a village to have cooks, why do you need them any way?" Answers the pretty tailor lady with a mocking grin.
"Ah well you see I decided hold a festival and well I need cooks for it"
"Festival you say, sounds fun, very well you have to make do with house wives though, but tell me do you really have enough meat my boy or are you playing a prank on me" she asks amusedly.
Not answering I just dump a portion of wolf meat in front of her from my storage ring.
"Ho is that a storage ring, we'll never mind then you should at least be rich enough to do what you said then, I will arrange for the cooks but don't expect much they are housewives not professional cooks but I guarantee the taste and just to be sure pay for the day and leave the meat behind"
After filling a large storage bag she gave me with the meat, I handed over 10 silvers, nodding she said it could be prepared by two days, confirming I left the shop or more like her house which was turned to shop, doesn't really matter.
I from the storage ring in which I have stored items for production class and raw materials, I take out the alchemy set and empty bottles, after messing with fruit using my magical alchemy I found a recipie which satisfied me, first I have to dry the fruit and extract it's essence, then sliced up the dry fruit and finally mixed it with water and fruit essence, anyhow the final product was chwy juice which kinda worked out and tasted better than normal juice, took me a day to change the 2000+ berries into the new juice I made, after that I opened the log for notification which was very long by the way, from the first day I started the hunt till now filled 15+ pages of it, I deleted everything without checking and simply opened the status menu.
