Chapter 1009: Please be a little patient.

“How much?” It seemed to Idan that he had misheard.

“If you sell all the fire crystals that Elira handed over, you can get more than 60,000 System Points,” Arabel repeated through a mental link.

“According to her, she could have gotten more, but she spent part of her time improving. And if she gets helpers, the revenue will be even greater.”

“60,000 System Points?”

It was a huge amount of System Points, and neither he nor Arabel had done anything to earn that much.

“Heh, if that’s what she wants, let her take them for herself,” after what Idan had learned, and realizing what prospects it opened up, he could not refuse Elira’s request when she herself wanted it.

“I also think that if Elira continues like this and gets extra hands, we’ll have a pretty reliable source of System Points.” Arabel shared Idan’s thoughts.

Idan nodded, agreeing with Arabel.

“But there’s one problem,” — Arabel reminded him. “We don’t know where the remaining two temples will appear after the reset. If one of them occurs in a Lava Lake, Elira will lose the ability to safely mine Fire Crystals.”

“It’s okay if she waits a week.”

Idan didn’t see this as a problem. In the future, he had plans to help Nemo conquer the Lava Lake and make it part of the Kingdom to extract Fire Crystals, as well as Ice Caves.

Moreover, the supervisors of the Lava Lake, the parents of the baby dragon, themselves hinted at this.

“If we need additional manpower besides these creatures of fire, let’s send Raynar’s wives and subordinates with Elira as well. While Raynar himself is here in the Forest of Doppelganger, they have nothing to do yet,” Milica suggested.

“Indeed, Raynar’s wives are fire dragons, and the Lava Lake is just the perfect place for them,” Lucinda agreed with Milica’s idea.

Almost everyone in the living room was aware of the SP points and that they could be used to buy amazing things in Idan and Arabel’s mysterious store. Therefore, everyone had their own motivation in an effort to collect as many of these points as possible.

After a short discussion and plans for future conquests of the Forbidden Zones, the conversation returned to the topics of the current Third Disaster.

“Big Sister, did you meet Irina at the Center of the Ice Anomaly?”

Arabel still hasn’t forgotten the alliance with Irina’s faction and her agreement to help her get the seeds of the law.

“Yes, she was there,” Lucinda confirmed with a light sigh.

“But as you know, after receiving the gift and requesting the Tree, I became a target for everyone, and in this chaos it was difficult to do anything. As a result, Irina never got anything.”

“The beasts that constantly prevented creatures from other worlds from approaching the seeds of law are largely to blame. In the end, even if I wanted to turn a blind eye to her attempts and let her take away one law seed, she wouldn’t take advantage of it.”

“Hmm…okay, I’ll talk to her later,” Arabel nodded.

“Speaking of seeds…” When it came to the seeds of law, Sierra couldn’t hold back her curiosity.

“Did you manage to get them yourself?”

Everyone, including Lina and Lucinda, turned to Idan and Arabel, waiting for details from them. Apart from Esma, none of them got their hands on either the source of the elements or the seed of the law.

“Thanks to the gifts of the Trees, we have managed to obtain almost all kinds of law seeds from all four Anomalies… But…” Arabel didn’t know how to explain it properly when everyone was looking at her like that.

“But what?”

“All the seeds received are unripe, and most importantly, they have become attached to the Kingdom.”

“And so far I do not know how to deal with them,” Arabel honestly admitted.

Apart from the announcement from the System about receiving the unripe Seeds of law, there was nothing. The outcome of the Seed of Law task was not even announced, and the Seeds of Law received were not open for purchase in the “Trade” function.

“Don’t you think it’s strange that the Trees produced unripe seeds of the law instead of ripe ones?” Milisa asked the question that was on almost everyone’s mind.

“What if it was intentional?” suggested Sierra. “Maybe Idan and Arabel need to find a way to help the seeds ripen?”

Meanwhile, after a short discussion, Idan had a crazy idea. He decided not to share it yet, but to leave it for later, to check later, if necessary. Now, even if he had voiced his theory, there was no way to test it in practice.

“By the way, System, where’s the reward for the Tree Protection quest?”

Idane couldn’t recall receiving a reward, even though the System had announced the successful completion of the task.

[Host, the reward is delayed. Please be a little patient.]

“Patience, right?”

“Is the delay related to that dark sphere?”

Idan couldn’t think of any other explanation for why the reward was delayed.

“Hey guys, take a look at this!” Leo suddenly exclaimed, addressing everyone present.

He displayed information from various sources about the movements that were observed in all four Anomalies.

“Another wave of beasts?”

Everyone was already tired of the waves of beasts, but now it appeared again. This time, huge waves have surged out of all four Anomalies, and according to current information, they are moving towards the center.

“Are they heading for the Dark Sphere?” asked Eulalia.

“There’s no doubt about it. First, the Anomalies themselves attracted the beasts, and now the Dark Sphere, which absorbs the energy from all four Anomalies,” replied Sierra, who was aware of all events from the very beginning of the disaster.

“But if they’re heading towards the Dark Sphere, then…” anxiety gripped Arabel.

“Leo, calculate their route.”

“Okay.” Leo immediately got to work, opening a huge map of the central continent and entering all available data on the location of the sphere and the beast wave.

After seeing the connecting lines and several cities lying in their path, everyone fell silent.

And the worst part is that soon cities from each side of the continent will be on their way one by one, and in the end they will all meet near the capital of the Federation.

As if waiting for this moment, Darkia reached out to them through the “Eyes of the Web” and Leo to remind them of her deal offer.
