Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 357: Desert remuneration and Aladdin afterwards

I came to Nefert with Farida. However, the town was in an unusual state. For some reason, the town was in a festive mood.

"What is this?"

"Aren't they celebrating the return of the kidnapped people?"

I see. That may be so. But there was a subtle difference.

All hail King Aladdin!

Aladdin...king? Why is Aladdin the king? As I was tilting my head with Farida, Caro-san called me.

"Takuto-dono! Thank you so much for this! I heard the story from my daughter. The mayor of Nefert Town and the mayor of Coconut Village have entrusted Takuto-dono with a gift of thanks.

"Well, that's an unexpected reward! What is it?

Baobab Tree: Rarity 8, Material, Quality B

A huge tree that is sometimes used as a house in the desert. It is full of vitality and is believed to be possessed by demonic powers.

Baobab Tree Sapling: Rarity 8, Material, Quality B

A sapling of the baobab tree. When grown, it becomes a baobab tree. It can be used as a material, but it is also a useful tree that can be used as a house.

Coconut Palm Sapling: Rarity 7, Material, Quality B-

A sapling of the coconut palm tree. When grown, it becomes a coconut tree and can produce coconuts.

Coconut: Rarity 7, Material, Quality B-

The fruit of the coconut palm. The ripe ones are eaten raw, while the unripe ones are loved as a drink. The rind yields a tough natural fiber that is used to make rope, nets, mats, etc.

Ah, yes. They come in specialty products...but the baobab tree is so big it's dangerous. I wonder how many weapons they can make? I also got a lot of coconuts. And coconuts have surprisingly many uses. Shallow-san and his friends are going to be very happy. If we can make a proper net, we can fish for nets.

According to Caro-san, they wanted to give money as well, but because of the reconstruction, they could not use the money and this is the biggest token of their gratitude.

The tree is going to Setia and Mir for now.

"And as for my thanks, you can choose anything you like from this list"

I'm not so sure...but when I checked, it was the same as the one I saw before...hmm!?

"This is..."

What I found was a pure white fan that looked like it would be used at a shrine. I'll appraise it.

White Fan: Rarity 7, Fan, Quality: B

Weight: 5 Durability: 100 Attack Power: 5

EffectGives sacred attribute, dancing effect up (large)

A plain fan made of bamboo and washi. It is mainly used for ceremonial purposes. Dancing may grant the sacred attribute to all allies.

I don't know how effective dancing is, but it's pretty strong. I'll ask Caro-san.

"It was sold to me by a cat cerian beast, who said it was something he used to use in the past. It must have been used with great care. I have kept it in a safe place because there was not a scratch on it"

I am sure that the cat cerian beast was a cerian beast just like Koihi and the others. It kind of breaks my heart to buy it, but...

"Do you want that one?"

"Yes. Please give me this one"

So I got the white fan. Then I hear about the festivities.

"We all saw how King Aladdin used the demon god to fight to save the town. Furthermore, even the people who were kidnapped were brought back by the demon god and they are praising the demon god and King Aladdin like this"

I see...surely everyone is watching Jin fighting and it was Jin who sent those who were captured.

"Pupu....oh dear..."

"I hear you"

Farida laughed and a boy appeared from behind her. It's Jin, isn't it?

"Give me your face"

We changed places and I asked what was going on. First of all, Aladdin had been worshiped and was now enjoying a luxurious life. As a result, he is dating Aladdin, but Aladdin doesn't want to go out with him.

"It's obvious that they are all after my power. Besides, anyone can see that the luxury will soon be replaced by a mountain of drudgery"

"Well, of course. Takuto, let's go home"

I agree. If Aladdin is enjoying himself, it is wrong to interrupt him.

"Well, wait a minute! How can you go out?"

"Because I made a contract with Takuto. Or is it about the seal?"

"...That's right"

"Because I'm now weak as a demon. That seal is for demon gods, so I'm not subject to it now that I'm a demon"

Jin makes a face as if he had that hand.

"You...no way..."

"I'm telling you, it was just a coincidence. I'm still angry that they took my power and used it against me, even if it was just to get me released"

She sounds like she's really angry.

"I see that too...and I want you to do something about Aladdin?"

"Takuto, don't do this. It's too late. Jin, I'll guess your future. They will charge you for the money you played with and you and Aladdin will be forced to work for the rest of your lives"

Yeah. I agree. It's not a good thing to end up with people who play for free.

"The sandstorm in the Sandwall Desert disappeared once, didn't it? That's when you got out, right?"

"That's right. Now it's back..."

"I sensed it too...but by then Aladdin was a hero and preferred to play with the outside world"

"I'm sorry. It's ironic that I'm freer now that I'm a demon...let's go home. Takuto"

I feel sorry for Jin, but I don't want to get involved in this. Let's go home and log out.
