Alice was smiling as she felt extremely happy bullying that castle lord.

Seeing how he increased the price, she instantly believed she was deliberately trying to increase the price of items.

But losing one item to teach him a lesson was pretty much worth it.

What much is, she even added him as a friend just to donate one of each resource she has. Isn't this over-bullying?

But who cares?

It was his fault for trying to scam and increase the price since he was a nameless lord, he might have hardly collected that many gold coins. You better have a taste of backfire.

Gold coins they used to trade have the logo of the castle on them. It is not the same Gold coins that Bell used to have Goddesses of light outline engraved in it.

[ local 1 gold coin can be exchanged for 200-300 castle gold coins. Just like the currencies of different countries, having different photos and different values]

She also possesses some of the local gold coins with goddesses of light engraved in them.

*******

Enough with bullying, she took out Talent's upgrading card and used it.

[ Your Talent "Copy" have been upgraded to lvl 3 ]

[ Your talent "copy" have been upgraded to lvl 4 ]

[ Your talent "Copy" have been upgraded to lvl 5 ]

[ Your talent "copy" have been upgraded to lvl 6 ]

[ Your talent "Copy" have been upgraded to lvl max ]

Copy: You can copy any Talent and skill permanently based on your's and target mental strength.

Exclusive bonus: you can have up to extra 100 different skills and talents, Status check, and Skill/talent share( can share/give one talent or skill to others)

Requirements: None

Cooldown: None

She maxed her initial talent, she just needed three of those cards to copy a talent permanently. But because of the happy feeling of having her talent upgraded, she used till her talent was maxed.

With this, she also learned that talent can be upgraded up to level 7 which is the max but she didn't come to the conclusion soon.

Maybe it was only her talent whose max lvl was 7, she believed there are many talents with different max level caps. Like some talent that can be upgradable to lvl 100.

Otherwise, there should be a record of max-level talents in her notebook. Throughout history, there has never been a max-level Talent.

"Stats fruit? " I asked the shopkeeper after purchasing the dress.

He was telling me about some stats fruit which can apparently increase your stats once you eat it to a certain point.

Many nobles provide these stats fruit at a heavy cost to their heirs so they can be strong.

It really caught my attention, since luna, my dear and lovely wife is weak I should give her plenty of these.

"Ok, can you tell me more about them? " as soon as those words fall out of my mouth.

The shopkeeper's eyes once again shined, "Of course - of course, I have a map right here, but it will be 400 Gold coins " he shamelessly said.

Once again I feel like I am being scammed, but if there is really such fruit then it may be totally worth it.

So, I brought the map from him. In map there were various location and marks with danger written in it.

Some if them were forest with red mark which is supposed to mean Very dangerous, on same forest there were few stats fruits found.

It was all the information on the map, there is a dangerous forest in that forest there were few 'stats fruits' founded and there might be more.

There is no detail about which adventure founded this or when it was founded.

Let's go for the adventure then!

I threw the dresses into air, which were reansoorted into my inventory.

Seeing how I threw the dress both shopkeeper and maids were shocked and their eyes were about to fall out.

I grabbed luna and vanished into thin air.

Swoosh!

I arrived at the forest, which was in the map.

Since it only show forest and area name rather than path, it have now become useless.

From here onwards, I have to find these fruits in my own.

"I carries luna in my arms gently " she seems little shocked.

Swoosh!

We were currently flying, it seems it was too much wind pressure for luna so I have to slow the little bit.

.....

It looked like the forest was magical and protected by some magical barrier.

But these low quality barrier couldn't stop me and trapped me.

I entered the forest. Forest was dense and there were many big big trees.

There were many fruits in those trees but all of then were poisonous.

It seems like adventure who manage to overcome the barrier will die after eating these fruit after all who could have imagine a fruit looking healthy and juicy grown in a healthy environment be poisoning.

Is this how the forest protect itself or there is a mastermind behind it like some intelligent creature.

Going more inside the forest, I saw stats fruits.

But no matter how I look at it, it seems like trap in those old tales .

These stats fruit feels like someone knowingly put it down here in a line so we can follow and get trapped.

In those fairy tale how human collect gold coins one by one and goes into inside the cave thinking be will get more gold coins due to greed and her eaten by dragon.

But unlike that human I am strong, let's see what's inside.

Maybe there is some hidden boss or something, if there is I hope it drops talent upgrading card cause I wanna upgrade my talent "Fallen Angel's will" .
