Marissa lets out a lewd moan as Anton plays with her nipples. She seems to quite enjoy him shooting his seed on her face and breasts, even using some sort of spell to make sure he will give her every drop.
“Well, that should be enough to help you last until tonight, my good man.” The priestess grins as she pulls away, Anton's cock finally leaving the valley between her boobs, and uses a spell to collect his seed... and then slowly swallow it all while looking at him. “We shall continue your treatment tonight. I hope at that time you will return the favour and help me, as I am rather...
hungry for more, shall we say... especially after the long and boring trip here.” She grins at him and gets up, then starts getting dressed slowly.
“The lord and lady seem like nice people who are trying to do the best they can despite clearly not getting quite enough support from other nobles. They do not tolerate guards not taking their duties seriously, as a couple of unfortunate guys found out the hard way.” Nessa shrugs. “That's about all I can tell you – I've had no reason to meet them in person. Ooh, a carriage! I've never ridden in one!” The last part is aimed at their means of transportation as the young woman takes a proper look at it for the first time.
With Nessa's help Ida has no trouble buying supplies and then they are off to her new land...
As it turns out the land is just that – land. Empty land. There is nothing built there so far, meaning that Ida will have to build a home for herself and her servants. At least she can choose what her new home will look like.
After spending the night in her carriage in the company of her new and old servants – fortunately Nessa seems to like Eike and does not suspect what she really is – Ida is forced to go back to Marika to make the necessary arrangements for building her new home... Fortunately that proves easier than one might expect – the villagers have heard about her helping the village by helping the lord and lady, and so are willing to work for her based solely on promises that they will be paid later (probably assuming that she will do more work for the lord and thus get paid well).
Finally, after what feels like forever, Ida has everything she needs – building materials, workers, and so on – and is able to begin work on her new home...
Ellie listens carefully to Lydia's explanation and eventual request, then raises an eyebrow. “That sounds almost too good...” She notes before smiling, “but sure, I can help you with this. Learning how to properly use a dagger will be nice, and maybe unarmed combat, too, if fists count as a weapon for the purpose of this training... but first, tell me about the punishments you mentioned.” She gives Lydia a sly look. “It really sounds a bit too good, so I guess the punishments must be what balances all the good stuff. So? What are they? Tell me!” She demands to know.
“Yeah, well, you seem to be the only one actually here.” The young man counters, only to jump a moment later when he hears a voice from nearby.
“You sure about that, friend?” Galza asks with a grin as she appears behind the guy.
“What the- where did you come from?” The man exclaims before turning back to face the half-dryad. “Okay, so it's not just you. But still- oh, shit.” He interrupts himself as realization seems to dawn on him. “It's because of the two batches we planted on the other side of the river, isn't it. Someone took note of them and hired you to investigate where they came from.” He lets out a heavy sigh. “That stupid wolf beast... because of it everyone was staying away from the forest. If we kept coming here it would attract unwanted attention, so we had to risk using land on the other side of the river to grow the plants, and of course someone noticed...” He lets out another sigh before looking at Mylea. “You just want to use the pink plant? You don't want any of the money we earn from this? And once we have enough to buy our own land it won't be a problem if we stop growing plants on your church's land?” He asks, seemingly looking for some reassurance before he agrees to anything.
(I admit I had forgotten about Galza.)
“Good luck, handsome!” The prostitute calls after him and watches him leave.
At first Ganith has no luck, finding only people that have heard rumours about the ghost, but have not seen it themselves. But as he keeps asking around he starts noticing a pattern in the answers – most sightings, including the very first ones, seem to be in one particular part of the village. It is his best bet so far, so he heads there.
Once more the half-dragon has no luck, finding no trace of the supposed ghost, and no one who knows anything of use. But as night falls he finally gets lucky: Up ahead he sees a silvery figure walking around, part of its body see-through. As soon as the figure – who looks like an armoured young man – sees him he starts running away, forcing Ganith to give chase.
The chase lasts for a couple of minutes before the “ghost” turns a corner and heads down an alley between two houses. As Ganith also turns the corner he sees that this is a dead end, “ghost” waiting at the far side next to some wooden crates, a short sword in one hand and a dagger in the other, as if ready for battle.
The half-dragon takes only a few steps forward before he is stopped by the sound of footsteps behind him. Turning around he sees two more “ghosts”: An older-looking armored human male with a spiked mace and a small shield in his other hand, and behind him an armored elf holding two short swords. Both men and smirking at him, and looking back he sees that his original target is also smirking.
“You chose the wrong part of town for a night walk, friend,” says the guy with the mace, “If you were a pretty girl we might have reached an
agreement and let you go, but since you're not... hope your money pouch is full – I hate killing people only to find they did not have the decency to bring us some money.” The apparent leader starts walking toward Ganith, followed closely by the rather effeminate elf. The young human starts approaching from from the other side, kicking a stone away as he does so.
Something about the trio does not feel right – and it is not the fact that he can see through their bodies. Despite his best efforts, however, Ganith can't figure out what – maybe he is more tired than he realized, maybe it is because the night is dark, or maybe it is something else. There is no time to figure what the reason might be, though – the trio are approaching, and they clearly mean him harm...
