ELECTUS 54 The Swimming Ra

As Commander Alia instructed Iron Shoe Joseph to specifically bring the Horses and Wagons to Albert's farm, she made her way out of the stable and instantly noticed an ill.u.s.tratio giving Commander Alia an awkward eye.

Unfortunately for Commander Alia, a strong wind followed right after and pushed her hood down and her black hair flew on the air beautifully. They weren't tied in a bun this time which made her way more beautiful.

But it made it very clear to the ill.u.s.tratio that Commander Alia doesn't have ears(Literally)."

His eyes widened as he realized that feature and he started walking towards a Guard who was about a hundred yards away at a slow pace to avoid getting more attention from Commander Alia or possibly being attacked.

Alia noticed for sure what he saw and she also noticed the Guard approaching on the left side of the road, near the Kingdom wall.

Keeping a low profile, she raised her hood, covered her head. She noticed that a river is near the castle walls when she made her way to the Horse Stable earlier.

At this case, she will use the river to her advantage.

Using the vegetation the river offers on its sides, she started following the ill.u.s.tratio who is no doubt planning to report what he saw.

The river was about twenty yards away from the road the ill.u.s.tratio was walking on.

Giving Commander Alia more complications when it comes to launching a sneak attack.

"Who is there? h.e.l.lo?"

Said the ill.u.s.tratio as he heard a few sounds caused by Commander Alia's miss step.

Commander Alia threw a rock bigger than two fists together on the ill.u.s.tratio's head with all her might which knocked him out cold.

She didn't just knock him out, it tossed him six feet across the ground as if a explosive bolt hit him.

Giving Commander Alia way less struggle and all the time she needed to drag the body and let him float down the river.

The ill.u.s.tratio Guard unfortunately saw Commander Alia dragging the body.

And considering the fact that she is a lady, he was bold enough to not go get more Guards but approach alone.

Well that wasn't the Guard's best day on duty. It was his last day on duty actually.

That Guard floated down the river as well, but this one floated down in two pieces.

"Now that this was taken care of, I need to return to Albert's farm. This task isn't over yet."

She thought.

…

"You're here sooner than you said you will be but i got worried when the Horses and Wagons arrived here before you."

Told Mogranius to Alia in great concern.

"I had to dispose of a rat.

It is all taken care off, I hope you didn't cause any trouble my big strong Wizard."

Said Commander Alia basically teasing Mogranius.

But in her heart she is very happy that Mogranius specifically, was worried about her.

As a three hundred year old woman who looks like she is in her forties when compared to an Ignite's lifespan, she didn't expect to find love in her life.

"The Orange Barrels are Loaded on one Wagon.

It took quite some effort but they all fit in. All fifty of them.

Two Hundred Wheat Grain Bags might take Two Wagons of s.p.a.ce though. It's quite a lot.

But we can still buy more crops with the thirty Ignite Gems left."

Explained Mogranius in Greater detail.

"Indeed. But as i see we will be able to save some Ignite Gems.

One Wagon can't fit thirty Ignite gems worth of Crops unless someone scams us."

"Indeed. But "Handsome Albert" called another farm owner here.

Let's hear out his prices."

Mogranius was in clear jealousy about Commander Alia calling Albert "Handsome".

He understands the benefits of her doing so but jealousy is still there. He likes her a lot.

"Don't get jealous. Don't tell anyone but you are the most handsome one here. You look in your forties, fifty eight year old man."

She winked as she said that sentence which got Mogranius to burst smoke out of his ears again. But this time for good.

"So what crops do you offer sir…?"

"Call me Ebren, miss Erzu. I'm eager to see you tonight.

I farm cabbages. All my stock has, is cabbages.

I can fill this entire empty Wagon you own, with Cabbages for Two Hundred Gold Coins. It would normally cost five hundred, but a lady like you deserves cheaper prices.

You will be joining us for ten nights for free after all."

This is a cheap price considering that each Wagon seems to be three meters wide, and five meters long. Not to mention that it was three meters tall as well. it can fit a lot of cabbages.

"Well this solves the last problem.

Joseph, I have a question, can these four horses in total, pull six Wagons?"

"Easily. If you attach two s.h.i.+re horses in three Wagons one after one. They have no trouble pulling them."

"In that case I will need two more Horses and four more Wagons. The Horses and Wagons don't need to bee of the best quality.

I will offer you twenty ignite gems for it.

She paused for a moment, turned to Ebren and said

"You will fill this Wagon and the rest of the four that will arrive with cabbages and i will give you ten Ignite Gems.

Even if the Wagons Turn out smaller."

"The Wagons will be the same as what you see here but the Horses will be Chestnut horses.

They are a bit smaller but can pull One Wagon on their own, each."

"We have a deal in that case. Let's start loading."
