Chapter 209. Queen Flor’s Vision For Golden Sap Town.
Once they were all seated, Flor called a few Rose Fairies to serve beverages. Because many of the essential jobs were lacking, some professionals who felt their trade was too crammed in other cities arrived here and sold their merchandise. Pottery people, cookers, tailors, and many more allowed the town's basic necessities to be slowly fulfilled.
These basic-level workers that everyone took for granted were the ones that Flor always celebrated when they arrived. After all, while a society thrived with advanced technologies, without the basic jobs, a society would collapse.
When everyone got served their cup with a refreshing looking tea, they were impressed by the craftsmanship of the cups. Thalia asked, interested. "These cups look so elegant and pretty. How did you make them, Queen Flor?"
Flor laughed softly and said. "Well, an old gentleman from the Human race arrived a few months ago, and after he settled down with my help, he actually made them himself. He is an expert, and most of the pottery for us, Rose Fairies, has been made by him and his apprentices."
Flor showed her cup, which was a beautiful white with an elegant rose decoration that had a pretty flower crown. Flor grinned. "This one was specially made for me!"
She was actually quite fond of it, and her gently flapping wings told everyone in the room her mood. Eila took a sip and hummed. "Quality drinks. Quite unexpected... Hm?"
[You've drunk <Phoer Berry Tea>. You will gain +2000 Phoer Body Shards!]
Eila blinked twice, reading the message again. Everyone got it, giving them a surprise. A human woman who loved the taste, and loved the effect even more, asked. "This Phoer Berry Tea is magnificent! I love everything about it, the aroma, the taste, and the refreshing feeling that lasts even after you drink it. Queen Flor, are you selling it?"
Flor nodded with a smile. "We have a shop down the street where we sell products created from Liu Shu's berries."
"The World Tree?" The human woman asked, confused.
Verdantia confirmed it. "Yes. Liu'er is very generous with her berries. She just gives them to us without any condition other than for them not to be wasted. We sell a decent chunk of them to the public. You must've heard about the <Delciious Berry>, as it has become quite a popular item in our town."
The human woman exclaimed. "The <Delicious Berry> is a fruit from the World Tree!? No wonder its effects are so ridiculous!"
A male beastkin wondered, swirling the beverage with the wooden spoon. "I wonder, how many of these can you drink to recover Phoer?"
Tempestria spoke this time around. "The raw Phoer Berries give a maximum of 2500 Phoer Body Shards. However, thanks to the potion makers who have become very interested in them, we've discovered that with the correct concoctions and mixtures, we can double their daily limit up to 5000 shards per day. It is a significant amount, making the Phoer, Mana, and Energy berry beverages very popular among Explorers."
Kael commented. "I've heard about these products. I had a few young ones that came here before showing them to me and brag about it. At first, I thought it was something that you could only get for quite an expensive price. However, from the way you are describing it, I can't help but guess that it is not that expensive."
Tempestria laughed. "Expensive? They are basically a steal. Flor here doesn't really have a money-greedy mentality and sells things at a relatively affordable price for no reason."
Flor blinked twice and tilted her head. "What's that?"
Eila was about to explain when the doors to the room opened, and two people entered.
"I am so sorry for my late arrival. I had some important matters to attend to until recently."
The first person who entered was a beautiful and elegant Sylvan with long blue hair and a calming aura that felt like flowing water. Her clothes were luxurious, and her gaze had a natural power that made it difficult to underestimate her. She is Delia Mareful, the City Lord of Mareful City.
"I decided to wait for Lady Delia, so I have no excuses. I hope you can pardon me."
The second person was a human man with average facial features and a healthy body. He had an outward mild-mannered look and wore formal black-colored robes instead of clothes. His name is Taro Sirol, and he is the current City Lord of Sirol City, where Wert was initially stationed.
Everyone else in the room squinted, their gazes profound. Taro's words contained many hidden messages and intentions to ignore. The most obvious thing was that they were together, and depending on Delia's stance toward Liu Shu, they would understand on whose side Sirol and Mareful City stood. They were the two largest cities besides Fortuna City in this area, so their opinions mattered greatly.
Flor looked at them with surprise. While she had invited them, she didn't expect them to come. Because Delia was grateful to Liu Shu, the unexpected factor was much milder than Taro's appearance, which took Flor entirely by surprise.
She had learned from Wert that Sirol City had survived for so long because it always remained neutral. However, it seemed that this was going to change.
Lord Stormrider's bushy eyebrow raised, his gaze toward Delia quite analytical. Delia turned to look and instantly recognized the big shot, causing her expression to crack and show a hint of surprise and confusion. Still, she elegantly reacted and gently bowed. "Lord Stormrider! I am so sorry that I didn't see you when I entered, or I would've welcomed you. It is an honor to be in your esteemed presence."
Her tone made the otherwise presumptuous words sound clear and pleasant. The powerhouse nodded. "I am also glad to see the other two main governors of this area. Now that you two are here, we can dive into deeper conversation matters."
Delia smiled and said words that forced many eyebrows to rise. "I am also eager to speak about how to make Liu Shu feel more welcome in this area. She is a relatively new World Tree, so our guidance as seniors will be essential. Right, Liu Shu?"
Liu Shu harrumphed, still not having forgiven Delia for the doll situation. Still, she answered. "Hmph, hmph. I guess!"
Delia chuckled even when Liu Shu was disrespectful, showing a gentle expression of sincere affection. Eila's calm facade almost cracked when she saw that. 'When did the Golden Sap Town sway this woman to their side?'
Delia was a Level 27 Sylvan, so in terms of threat, her presence almost invalidated her own. While Eila was Level 31 and a sub-cycle above Delia, Delia's strength was not to be underestimated in a defensive battle.
It wasn't only Eila; everyone's mind started working when they realized that Delia had already chosen a side, and unexpectedly, it was Liu Shu's side.
