Chapter 139: The map
[Master, this is the map I got for this land; each section is labeled, and the shimmering areas represent the number of magical properties; it's quite simple to understand; if you don't, I'm right here.]
A screen then appeared in front of Nessa's eyes, and she smiled as she looked at the detailed map provided by her system, knowing that doing something like that would have taken a long time.
Nessa thoroughly looked at the map and sighed, understanding ever little detail of the land they were living on and she knew how valuable it was and had no intention of letting anyone take it from them no matter what happened.
[Do you understand it?]
"Yes, I understand it, you are right, it's quite simple to understand, you must have spent a long time gathering this information, thank you again," Nessa responded.
[You are welcome; after all, this is my job; do you know what you need to know or have you obtained the information you sought?]
"Yes to both; in fact, I got more than I bargained for; this land is valuable; I'm glad I found it; the map will be useful to me in the future; I'm glad you made it; but right now..." Nessa responded.
[I know you're tired; go get some rest; you've done enough for one day; good night.]
"Good night, Missy," Nessa said as she leaned back in her bed and promptly fell asleep due to exhaustion.
Nessa slept well that night, and when she awoke the next morning, she wiped her eyes while yawning before getting out of bed.
The girl went about her normal morning routine, and when she was finished, she had breakfast and the sweet Liya had gotten for her, then she left her house, heading to the town center.
Nessa was on her way there when she heard shouting and realized it was coming from Dalia's house.
She dashed off, wondering what was going on, and sighed when she saw the others at Dalia's house upon arrival.
"What exactly is going on?" Nessa asked as she entered the house, then noticed that the girl they assisted was attempting to break the barrier while shaking up Dalia's entire house, causing Dalia to become enraged and her body to glow bright purple.
"Now you've done it," Dalia said as her sword appeared in her hand and she was about to attack the girl, but Riki rushed in and grabbed her sword, and Dalia's eyes widened as she looked at him, then he smiled and turned to Nessa, who sighed.
"Lady Nessa," Dalia said as Nessa smiled at her and she returned to normal.
"I'm sorry, she got nervous and I kept explaining but she wouldn't listen, so I got angry," Dalia said as Nessa approached her and she lowered her head.
"I understand, I can see it clearly Dalia, it's okay," Nessa replied as she patted the girl on the shoulder and Dalia looked at her then smiled.
"Are you not angry?" Dalia asked.
"I have no reason to be angry, Dalia, it's okay, let it go, I'll handle this myself," Nessa responded, then Dalia sighed as Nessa turned to look at the girl within the dome and she looked at Nessa who smiled before placing her hand on the dome after which it disappeared, and the girl flung up from the couch.
"Y- You're the one he sent me to, but where exactly am I?" Nessa sighed as she asked.
"I guess Kurson didn't tell you this is a now building nation of different types of creatures, you got freaked out and freaked my people out, step outside for a moment," Nessa responded as she walked away and the girl followed her out of Dalia after which her eyes widened while staring at the town.
"He did say you are building your own nation in one of the most sought after land, but he didn't say what type of nation, damn that Kurson, I hope he is fine," She said, and Dalia and the others looked at her as tears ran down her cheek.
"Hey, don't cry; I want you to tell me exactly what happened to you, okay?" Nessa inquired, and the girl looked at her, wiped her tears, and nodded.
"Dalia, come here please," Nessa said and Dalia approached her then the girl looked at Dalia as her eyes narrowed and her eyes began trembling in fear of Dalia.
"I apologize for making you angry." Dalia jumped as she shouted and bowed her head.
"Huh? I am sorry for scaring you further, raise your head, I understand why you got scared as well," Dalia said, the girl raised her head up with a gentle smile on her face and Nessa exhaled deeply before patting Dalia on her back.
"I was going to tell you to apologize as well, but I am glad you did without me telling you to, come on, let's go to the tent, I am hungry and want to hear what she has to say," Nessa said as she walked away and they followed her quietly.
Nessa understood the situation back at Dalia's house without even thinking about it because it literally explained itself and their guest's hands were trembling but it wasn't just out of fear; she was worried about Kurson, her master who didn't even give her any information about where he was sending her but he knew why he didn't.
When they arrived at the tent, Nessa sat down, and the girl looked around at the various types of creatures that lived in the town, and she left dumbstruck, not knowing what to say next.
"I heard shouting, is everything all right, Lady Nessa?" The Lizardmen chiefess asked as she approached Nessa, and Nessa smiled at her.
"Everything is just fine, she was just a bit freaked out her master didn't tell her the type of place he was sending her to so that reaction was only natural, good morning," Nessa responded and the chiefess smiled and then sat down.
"I see, well good thing it was not more than that, good morning," She said as they all sat down and looked at the girl who smiled nervously at them.
