Surprise

"Let us continue, your Majesty," Talia quickly said. "While you may have a lot of free time, we only have a month of it. If we don't use the month's time properly, we'll end up having to pay for the rest of the fields."

Alex looked around at the large piece of land. "Can you even finish going through this entire place in such a short amount of time?" he asked. "There are 100 different fields. You would have to visit 3 different fields a day to get to all of it." 

"Wouldn't it be better to take your time and gather what you can? It's alright to pay for the rest."

"We can't," Talia said in a slightly panicked tone. "It costs 300 Saint Spirit stones just to visit a single field, and we can't stay here longer for a day or we will have to pay again. This is an amazing chance that we cannot give up."

"She is correct, your majesty," Fang Yimu spoke. "This place is a bit too expensive, even though it offers some of the best ingredients in all of the continent."
