Kapitel 19: Gourmet Hunters!? 3

Three cages with pairs of the colorful winged creatures, imprisoned in a wooden cage.

Its beauty makes every female noble inside the room scream, what are they? What kind of birds does have those beautiful wings!?

"Please calm down everyone, " Said the hostess, "This creature in front of you is something that is a discovery! And until now, there's only one person who is breeding them! I won't mention his name, but he is our most important client now. So this creature can only be sold through bidding!"

For the second time, servants entered the hall and served the guests, on their plate is a piece smoking brown shell with a little crack on the middle. "Those are the seeds of this gorgeous creature, they are delicious!"

At first, they just observed the Gourmet Hunters, after making sure it was safe they put the bean into their mouth. It's so sweet! It's like beans soak in honey. This made even those representative want them. "Since everyone has tasted it, let's begin the auction~! 10,000 mana grains is the starting price! We will auction one pair at a time to make it fair okay~?"

"Wait, " Lacelid raised his hand, "Since the person breed them, I guess he already gives them a proper name, what is it? Why the heck you're showing a product without telling us its name!?"

He shouts at her all of a sudden, he looks at her eyes directly without blinking. The hostess composure finally crumbled and felt weak, she looks towards the servant to ask for help but there's no response, her face turned red of embarrassment, "I-I'm sorry sir, but I was not informed on what are they called."

Lacelid just turned around and look at the screen wall, "Please, we need to know what are they."

"Ha?"

"Heh?"

"Hey, Lacelid!" shouted Bruse, "What are you doing? Stop embarrassing yourself!"

"Erg!" Lacelid just ignored him and glared at the screen wall, waiting for a reply.

Lucas was confused, same with the girls, while Neil was just silent waiting for what kind of action Lucas will do.

"Mr. Malone, " he asked, "Who's that person? How come he knows about this room?"

Malone stares at him as if he was an idiot, he just scratches his head feeling helpless, "Lucas, do you really think that you're the only one who could enter this room?"

"Oh, get it! But what should I do? I can't just make them know of this place." He replied.

"Erg! You can, of course!"

"Oh okay!" He covered his face and steps forward, he opens the screen wall and reveals himself, "Mr. GH, why are you asking things like this? Does their name really that important?"

"Puff!"

"Kuk-Lucas you!?"

Behind Lucas, Malone and the rest was stunned on his reply, this group of people stood on top of the world! What is he thinking? The guests were also shocked, but not on what he said, but the truth that there's a hidden room behind the screen wall!

The words Lucas said sink in their brains after a while, the nobles smirked to his misfortune, while the commoners were nervous about what might happen.

Lacelid unsheathed his butcher's knife and bent a little, "Kid what GH? looks like you were looking for a beating?"

He said and smile, the rest of the Gourmet Hunters just sit on their chair and watch for the show. They're also insulted by his words, but they don't care about it.

"Fumu, I'm not a noble, but I have the rights not to speak unless you give me a proper reason!" Shook! Two shrink lace was pulled out of his belt, the Gods' Hoe on his left, and Gods' Hammer on his right arm.

"Interesting!" Lacelid said and leaped towards him. The room is two meters high but its nothing to him, he slashed his Knife upward with the momentum made by his leap, planning to cut Lucas into the half.

Ding! Lucas swings his hoe to block his ax, the collision of metal produced orange sparks that made the wall full of burn marks.

Lacelid was shocked, even though he has the advantage of being on top, it doesn't mean he can defend against him! But he has no time to marvel, he kicked the wall to land faster!

But not on his expectation just after he kicked the wall, he felt a wind pulling him down! He looks at Lucas location to find out that his hammer almost hit him!

Dual wielder! Beads of sweat were on his forehead, judging by the force of the wind, one hit from that hammer means death! As expected from a great Draconic family, they're much stronger than us normal members! "Haha, well, I just want to know the name! Since you don't want to say, I can ask you later after this!"

Lucas smiled and close the wall, he went back to his sit. He smiled bitterly and started to sweat, he can't feel his left hand.

The hall was sent into a commotion, who knows that the seller could make a Gourmet Hunter back down. It tools a while before the hall become quiet.

It's already afternoon when the auction was ended, two pairs were was o.n the hands of female nobles, while the last pair landed on Lacelid's hand. Two with 20,000 mana grains and 21,000.

121,000 thousand mana grains, in a single day, Lucas become rich! Lucas and his group escaped fast to avoid the gourmet hunters, no one saw his face, and they did not manage to peek inside the room to see who's with him.

After they make sure no one notices them, they entered the adventurers guild and went straight to Redford's office.

"Yoh! Old man, we're back!" Lucas said in a deep tone and sat near the table.

Redford observed them, cloak, mask, leather armor and ax, what are they planning? Did Rezmon initiate his attack earlier than he expects? "What happened? You all are ready to fight, you also brought my daughter. Did they manage to destroy your dome?"

"Dad, we're not here for that thing," Rita put her hand on her waist as if scolding his father, "We just sold peppers earlier, don't tell me you don't know what happened! How could you call me your daughter!?"

Redford wave his hand to calm her down, "haha! Just joking my dear, that is not my intention. Actually, I want to know what brings you here?"

"We just want to stay here for hours, there's nothing important!" Lucas said and took his cloak off.

It's not like they find another problem right? Redford decided to just let them stay for an hour inside his office. It's already 12 Noon when Rita, Della, and Neil left his office, they need to tend their domes too.

Lucas and the girls decided to went back to the dome after several minutes, Ranrem drives the truck as usual and Lucas on the passenger seat.

When they are already 50 meters away from his dome, they discovered that buckler's group finally started to make a pit for the wall, there's only one path without a worker, this supposed to be the gate, it's facing the city this time.

Inside the dome

"Yoh, Hugo, keep up the good work, " He tapped his shoulder and continued, "The place is a bit messy, and pots were everywhere, Viola and Violet prepare a feast enough for 100 men, Ranrem help me reorder this place, we will have a problem if this dome remain like this!"

The renovation finally started

Two baskets were positioned next to the entrance, the two of them separated the blackcurrant nether panther and the giant ginger cat since they are finally showing a sign of making a leader. This types of planteros are picking their leader through dominance, they also finally open their eyes after days.

The chili dragons like to circle their own pot, so they stayed at the opposite side of the entrance. The peanut butterflies at the left side of the dome while the black pepper ants on the left.

He draws a line to make them their own territory and formed a pentagon, after having more mana grains, Lucas melts it inside the water tank without any attachment to it. They're not a treasure, they are foods for his planters. After feeding those who are inside, he went outside to check the coconut cannons.

This ball of husk buried half of themselves into the mud, hiding from the worker's sight, Lucas let them drink a concentrated water mana through the barrel on their head. They absorbed it with a fast pace, not long after when they are finally able to transfer mana to Coco, which means they could finally advance to coconut canon general when Coco emerged.

After an hour, there's still no change to his cocoon. He decided to go left them and make a change in the filled. There's a winter in this place which means grass will just die in the cold weather. Treetans are trees which are not bearing fruits, which means he can plant more trees outside his dome.

Unlike another person, Lucas could grow his plants faster through his hoe, he cultivated the land for the whole afternoon without eating, "This won't do, even though I could plant a tree and make it grow for a year and a half just a single day, that doesn't mean I could plant anything I want."

Rambutan lobster will need a pond next to it, but a pond will freeze when the winter comes. Same with coconut, mangoes and any tropical fruits.

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

"Oh, Viola, I was thinking of what kind of trees could survive winter."

"Heh?" Viola pouted and tilted her head, "Aren't you suppose to think on what move will you do if those Gourmet Hunters find out where you live?"

Lucas look at her and patted her head, "Haha, don't worry! I have a plan."

"Thanks Malone, I'll be going. I have to visit that friend of yours!" Lacelid, Bruse, and Salva went out of the trade building with their armors and weapons.

(I hope they are not planning to kill them)
