Chapter 25: Visitors in the Desert (Part 1)

Soon, The visitors arrived at the future site of the Canyon city of Zant, which was then a small community of Nomads... It was a beautiful site, although it was filled with tents... The visitors are amazed by the culture of the Nomads...

Lucid: I didn't know there are other people living in this realm outside the adventurer;s plains...
Sugar: That's because the Goddess has spread out the nomads across the the planet.. spreading everywhere, even here...
Namiele: Do they travel around all around the realm in search of food?
Sugar: Yes.. But nowadays... They tend to stay where they are to cultivate crops...
Eriol: I see... but don't they get hurt whenever they are raided by monsters?
Sugar: In the earleir days... Yes... They're not harmed... But because of the Devil Pest...
Lucid: The monsters became aggressive...
Namiele: Thus most of the nomads are affected...

As the foursome are discussing about the Nomads, Lilith, Maru and Moro did some exploring...

Maru: Wow! Very beautiful!
Moro: Kawaii... They're soo cute!
Lilith: Yes... Very Good indeed...
Maru: These statues are very much beautiful!!!
Moro: Really amazing, right, Maru-chan?
Maru: Yes... They're quite beautiful... ^^
Vendor: Do you like it? It costs only 10000 zulie...
Moro: Zulie? What's Zulie?
Maru: Yeah.. What is it?
Vendor: Zulie is money. It is used to buy stuff like this... We use it all the time here...
Lilith: Basically, they use Zulie as a medium of exchange for the goods they sell, and we dont have enough zulie... The zulie the Gods and the nomads back at the adventurer's village gave are just enough to buy ourselves food!
Vendor: Food? There are many food shops there to the north! But I tell you, the merchants are shrewd! They're so greedy they tend to overprice...
Lilith: Overprice? that's harsh...
Vendor: Indeed... If there is only some way to control prices...

While Maru, Moro and Lilith are discussing money matter, Kirnale is outside the tent village, practicing his archery...

Kirnale: (Misses Shot) Crap.. Another missed shot.. Seems that my aim is starting to fade...

Just then, he heard a loud cry...

Girl: Help! Help!
Woopie Chef: We'll cook you for dinner!!! Hahaha!!!
Girl: Please! Someone help me!!!
Kirnale: Hey you! Want dinner? Eat this!

Soon, Kirnale shoots his arrow and hits the woopie, the Girl escapes... but the woopie is mad...

Woopie Chef: Arrgh! Why you... No matter... Guys! Help me! Someone is killing me!
Kirnale: This looks bad...

soon, 3 woopies appeared... And is getting ready to strike:

Woopie Glutton: How dare you fight my brother?! you shall pay for this! Borthers, attack!
Kirnale: Bring it on!

The woopies are fast and agile in their attacks, but Kirnale is faster. He was able to hit them with great accuracy, and after a few moments... HE was able to kill them all...

Kirnale: That'll teach you not to eat little girls...
Girl: Thank you! But my troubles are not yet over... Please... Lead my to our village chief.. You and your friends can come if you wish..
Kirnale: Alright.. Tell us your problem when you get to him...
Girl: Thank you.

And so, Kirnale and the girl went together to meet up with Lucid and the rest of the party... then they went to the village chief to know the girl's problem...
