This time, Ron didn't care about the pain in his back from the fall.
His eyes stared at the gate of the villa wall without blinking.
He saw countless bees, like a black cloud flying above, followed by their hives flying with them, including a palace-shaped hive full of honey.
What surprised him the most was of course Aldric. The young man in makeshift clothes actually came out of the villa gate, with the Queen Bee following beside him.
"Wh-what happened?" He wondered in a trembling voice.
Occasionally he rubbed his eyes to confirm if what he saw was real.
Meanwhile, Aldric approached him.
"Mr. Ron, I did not kill this Queen Bee, but I have made her leave. I hope you will write a letter stating that this mission is complete," he told the old man.
"H-how did you do it?" asked Ron.
"Well, I have the ability to tame animals, it wasn't hard for me," Aldric replied, throwing out nonsense.
He might be a bit ignorant of urban life due to living in a remote village for too long, but this didn't mean he didn't know how to make up nonsense to deceive.
Besides, since he seemed innocent, his nonsense sounded convincing.
"Really, you really do have that kind of ability." Ron was so amazed that he forgot about how Aldric drove the bees away before he tamed them.
"Alright, I'll write a letter!"
Ron became respectful to Aldric, quickly returning to his cottage to compose a letter that this mission was complete.
That way, Aldric could return to the Golden Lion Guild, show the letter as proof and they would give him his reward.
Not long after, Ron returned with a piece of paper containing his handwriting plus the Golden Lion Guild seal.
It seemed to be a paper prepared by the guild itself for their clients.
Ron handed the paper to Aldric who immediately took it and put it into his Space Artifact.
"Thank you," he said with a faint smile.
He didn't plan on lingering there, leaving after that.
There was a small forest near the river he passed.
When he arrived beside the forest, he stopped, and looked at the Queen Bee.
"I will make a few dozen trees in this forest and you can live there," he said.
He thought this forest would be a good place for them to live.
In addition to its safe environment, there weren't many people passing by so they wouldn't be so disturbed.
Of course, perhaps no one would dare to disturb them.
Even an army would think twice about facing such a large colony of bees.
"I will follow your instructions, master," said the queen bee, beginning to call him master.
Aldric nodded and pointed his hand at the forest.
He closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them, green light radiated from his entire figure, gathering in his hands.
"It appears," he said as he use the Forest of Life Explo spell.
Instantly, dozens of new trees appeared among the trees in the forest, growing rapidly as their branches connected to each other.
At this moment, Aldric realized something.
A little bit of power actually made it easy for him to make the trees very large.
If he used a lot of power, it was possible that he could create a small forest directly.
In a short time, the trees grew to be taller than the forest itself.
Aldric quickly stopped his power. He thought it was enough to become a new base for the bees.
Actually, he was made to realize one more thing.
Those trees wouldn't just be stagnant in that position from the moment they appeared.
They took root in the ground, becoming like any other tree where they would grow constantly, producing seedlings that would then grow into new trees.
Because they had an aura of life from the start, their seedlings will also have an aura of life.
They can magnify their own life aura by absorbing the spiritual energy around them.
"Master, this is amazing," said the Queen Bee suddenly.
In fact, the bees had already begun to enter the forest, taking up residence in the trees with life aura, installing their nests there.
The Queen Bee's palace was placed at its center, surrounded by many branches.
"From now on, this will be your home," Aldric replied, smiling slightly.
He felt very happy with this result.
"By the way, I conquered you, and then gave you a new place to live. It's not completely free," he added, instantly freezing the Queen Bee's expression.
She was obviously very surprised to hear that from Aldric.
Of course, all Aldric wanted was that honey.
Constantly being near that honey, he had to restrain his appetite until now.
He really wanted to taste it plus he saw a promising business opportunity.
"Master, what do you want?" asked the Queen Bee nervously.
"Your honey," Aldric replied.
The bees shouldn't suffer so much if some of their honey was taken away. After all, they produced far more than they needed. The rest was just a symbol of glory to them.
After hearing his answer, the Queen Bee finally looked calm.
It seemed that this was indeed not something difficult for her.
She was just worried that Aldric was asking for something she couldn't fulfill.
"Master, we produce a lot of honey every day. If you want to take it, you can take it as you wish. Only now, with our numbers, we can produce up to 50 liters of honey a day, and the quality of our honey surpasses ordinary honey," she said.
"50 liters, that's really a lot." Aldric was amazed.
If one day they produced so much, it meant that in one month they would produce 1500 liters.
"How much can I take now?" he asked.
"Don't worry, I won't ask until it disturbs your colony. I still want to see your colony grow bigger so that you can produce more honey."
"If it is now, there are about 1000 liters that can be taken. If you don't take them, they will just fall and blend into the ground," replied the Queen Bee.
"Okay, then I will take 1000 liters." Aldric nodded.
He started moving by controlling the trees.
For him, squeezing honey was not difficult because he had experience in his village.
The squeezed honey he put directly into his Storage Artifact without any bottles at all.
After all, it's not dirty. Although it is not very spacious, 1000 liters does not need too much space either.
It didn't take Aldric long to collect the honey.
However, he still refrained from drinking it.
Delicious things need the best moments to be savored. Now was not the time, he chose to travel back to the city first, earning his coin from completing this mission.
When he arrived, the sky finally began to turn yellow, signaling that night was almost here.
In the far west, the sun seemed to be setting in less than 20 minutes.
Aldric hurried into the city where candles were lit.
Although the only source of light was candles, the flames on the candles emitted more light than any lamp on earth.
As the sky grew darker, Aldric found that the city only became brighter, and actually became more crowded.
He arrived in front of the Golden Lion Guild headquarters not long after.
It was very crowded now, as many people wanted to report their success.
Aldric queued for a long time before finally standing in front of the reception desk.
It was still the same receptionist as last time.
She seemed surprised to see that Aldric had actually returned unharmed.
"Did you complete the mission?" she asked in a low voice, looking unsure.
Normally, there was no need for a report if the mission failed, so no one would return to report unless the mission was successful.
This receptionist felt that Aldric might have come to report his failure.
However, just as she was thinking that, he suddenly placed a piece of paper in front of her.
It was even pointed directly at her so she could read it right away.
(I am Ron, I hereby declare that the mission I was given has been completed. The one who brings this letter to the Golden Lion Guild can claim his reward!)
"You really did it, how did you do it?" asked the receptionist spontaneously but then she sealed her lips tightly.
How someone accomplished a mission was their business, the guild had no right to find out unless it was detrimental to the guild.
"Well, you did it, you get your reward," she said again, changing the subject.
She opened her desk drawer, placed the letter into the drawer and took out a cloth bag from inside the drawer.
"Your reward is 6000 Coins, but since you are not a guild member, there is a 20% deduction, so you get 4800 Coins!"
She placed the cloth bag in front of Aldric who rolled his eyes.
Apparently, the 6000 Coins written down did not include any deductions.
"Sir, if you wish, you will be accepted into the guild. By becoming a guild member, the deduction from your reward is only 5%." The receptionist explained about the benefits of being a guild member.
However, Aldric did not want to complicate his life.
He shook his head in response.
"No, I won't join," he said, picking up the cloth bag, transferring it into his Storage Artifact before walking away under the receptionist's barely blinking gaze.
He did not want to be tied down, which was why he did not plan on joining any groups.
After exiting the guild headquarters, he found that the sky was already completely night.
His eyes gazed upwards, amazed by the dazzling sight.
There were so many stars in the sky, it seemed like there was a galaxy right above this world.
There was even a moon so big, it was a hundred times bigger than the moon on earth.
Its light penetrated the darkness of the night so that the area without a light source was also not so dark.
"What is it?"
Something made Aldric dumbfounded.
On that moon, he saw countless dots of light, yellowish in color, like they were candlelight.
They made him think of the view of the earth at night when viewed from a satellite where there were dots of light that were very lively cities.
Were the dots of light on the moon cities?
"Bro, we meet again, did you just do the mission?"
When Aldric was filled with speculation, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Looking to the side, he found the slender figure of Eliot with a large sword on his back coming towards him.
His eyes glanced at the moon occasionally, knowing that the new Aldric was playing surprised by the sight on the moon.
In the end, this was not written in the guidebook.
Information about it was only known after the players saw it in person and asked the NPCs.
"Hehehe, bro, are you curious about those points of light on the moon?" asked Eliot with a quiet laugh.
"Are they cities?" asked Aldric.
"Yes, they are cities. The moon also has life and we can go there. It is said that the moon is where the stronger people live. In the past, this world was attacked by dragons. Those who were weak were devoured while those who were strong fled to the moon. They lived peacefully there, and as the years passed, they gave birth to many offspring and built many cities."
"Really? Then how do we go there?" Aldric only became more amazed.
This world had a huge moon with civilization, this was too beyond his imagination.
"We haven't reached that stage yet. This game update hasn't reached cities that have transportation to the moon. As far as I know, the cost of going there is not expensive, but the cost of living there is very high. In this world, we need to have the wealth of a nobleman to be able to live on the moon." Eliot explained.
Until now, after staring at Eliot for a while, Aldric stared at the moon without stopping.
His eyes did not blink at all.
He had played just to see, but now there were more things to be curious about.
"Brother Eliot, thanks for the information, there are still things I want to do, I'll go first," he said after a while, taking a hasty step.
Eliot's expression became strange when he saw him.
'He seems to be stimulated,' he thought with a faint smile.
After that, he entered the Golden Lion Guild.
When he entered, the Receptionist actually greeted him immediately so that he could skip the queue.
Privileges like this were only given to members of the guild.
Meanwhile, Aldric entered a very large clothing store.
It sold many clothes at low prices but with good quality.
He bought some clothes consisting of trousers and t-shirts that were comfortable to fight in.
Since they set up a changing room, he could change his clothes right away.
With the new clothes, he finally looked better.
His tall body plus his muscular physique only made him more dashing.
Thinking it was a bit too conspicuous, he ended up using a coat-like outfit as an outer layer.
If he fought, he could simply take it off.
