Fate Online: Shadow

Chapter 168 - Huh!?



’How the heck does she even know something like that?’ Michael thought, and at the same time wondering why his teacher is mentioning this to him.

"You’re probably wondering why I’m telling you this, and how the heck did I know, right?" Laura chuckled when she noticed that confused look on Michael’s face.

Michael just nodded his head.

"I know all of these things because my brother. Ralf’s late wife was from Lionett Household, and he would always mention this supposedly very private things to me whenever he’s drunk, and until now, he still doesn’t know about it" Laura laughed, as she took a sip of her tea.

Hearing her words, Michael suddenly felt pity for Ralf for revealing embarrassing things like this to his sister without him even knowing that he had just literally blabbered everything about his s.e.x.u.a.l life to his sister.

Even he would feel embarrassed if he were in Ralf’s shoes when the day he learns about this.

’And why is she even telling me this things? Is she hinting me to pursue Garona? If she were a real woman then a one night stand wouldn’t hurt, but she’s just a bunch of computer codes’ Michael thought, as he really can’t figure out what she’s trying to achieve by telling him this kind of things that doesn’t relate to their earlier topic about the Blood Orchid.

"Anyway, we have already diverged from the original topic. I will lend you some Blood Orchids for ten thousand gold coins a piece, and you’ll still make some money if you sell most of it to Brigham" Laura said, and then she took a peek on Michael’s face and laughed, "Don’t worry about Brigham not paying, their family is even richer than some of the smaller kingdoms. For them, a hundred thousand gold coins is just chump change"

’You’re a Sage, but why are you so stingy?’ Michael really wanted to ask that question. It’s because he had already realized that the herbs planted on her garden are all Epic Grade and above, with a few very rare herbs of Rare quality.

"Okay, but I want five of them Teacher" Michael said, as he didn’t even bother beating around the bush anymore.

"Okay, now go" Laura said as she started shooing him with her hand.

Michael turned around and walked towards the door, then he suddenly stopped and looked over his shoulders and said, "Teacher, how come I don’t see your Dragon? I was actually expecting to see him when I got here"

"Millie? And she’s a she and not a he, remember that or else you’ll regret it" Laura just raised an eyebrow and said, then she continued, "If you want to visit her, then look for her at the village ranch. She’s the one running the place"

Michael quickly remembered a ranch full of different types of monsters that are herbivores at the outskirts of the village that he had seen before. Then he started to imagine a dragon managing the place.

’Damn, she’s even raising her own food’ Michael thought as he exited the house and made his way towards the garden.

When Michael left, Laura’s pair of eyes suddenly emitted a very dangerous gleamed, as she muttered under breath, "That old dog, how dare he have designs towards my student? Hmmp!"

"It seems I’ll have a good talk with him" and then space around her suddenly became distorted and she disappeared. It was like how Tobi would use his teleportation jutsu.

"Teacher, I already harvested five...of them?" Michael came through the front door, but quickly realized that Laura wasn’t inside, so he immediately came out of the house and looked around.

"Huh? Where did she go?" Michael was confused at first, before shrugging his shoulders and made his way outside towards the rune gate at the cave wall.

Michael passed through the rune gate with a huge smile on his face, and appeared at the outskirts of Calderock Village.

"It’s time to make some money" Michael rubbed his hands together with a huge devilish grin on his face, "But before that, I’ll visit Miss Millie first and see if I can get some free gifts from her"

Michael then started walking towards the direction of where he saw a small ranch full of animals before.

A few minutes later, Michael arrived before a small farm ranch, with animals that looks like cows that has three horns that bend towards their backs, oversized sheep that stands around over a meter tall with a single horn in the middle of their heads, and chickens...well, they are just regular chickens that someone would easily find in the real world.

There are also plants planted in the field just a couple meters away from where the animals are grazing.

Michael also saw a couple of men and women working around the ranch, while holding pails, wheelbarrows or shovels in their hands.

’Well...well...well. I wonder what brought you all the way to my humble ranch, little brat?’

Suddenly, a voice of a woman appeared in Michael’s head, which was full of arrogance and sarcasm.

’I only wanted to drop by and see you. Maybe I could also help around your ranch?’ Michael said inside his head. It was like how a user would be talking to another user through PM.

Or in the so called cultivation world, it would be the divine sense or immortal sense or whatever someone would call it.

At the same time, Michael wanted to see if there are easy quest to accomplish around here.
