The rest of the nobles arrived right in the middle of the feast the first ones were having, surprised, they quickly joined them and started sampling what they were going to eventually buy in large quantities.
The products harvested from the Dungeon were of incredible quality and seemed to not be "contaminated" with Spells that others would usually use to artificially enhance flavor, freshness, or nutrition, something that Elves were very sensitive against, and disliked.
Other races such as humans or dwarves aren't as mana sensitive as Elves, so they usually don't mind or sense the change in flavors, but because we elves have special taste buds in our tongues that can taste mana, we can immediately tell when something has been artificially flavored with magic spells of low tier, and the flavor becomes usually bitter.
Its different when it comes to Cooking Magic because that's specifically made so we can taste the Mana and the essence of the products, but it can only be used when cooking and preparing dishes to eat right away, preservation and enhancement magic are other elements, usually Nature Element Spells such as Plant Sugar Enhancement, De-Aging, and so on can preserve food's flavors for longer, but also make them taste worse for us…
It's a rather complicated thing that Elves have been dealing since the dawn of ages, hence the reason why we appreciate naturally grown food that tastes this good, and why instead of conjuring preservation magic on the food directly, we instead utilize magic artifacts to save them inside and preserve the food for longer.
"These fruits are divine!"
"Oh my, I can't get enough."
"So free of any weird mana enhancement… And so fresh, juicy, and sweet, all natural!"
"H-How?! Just how?"
We couldn't reveal it came from a Dungeon or it could generate some problems, so we simply decided to say that it was grown back in Agartha, on specially designed green houses that my mother made using her amazing magic as the Saint.
"I see, food grown by the Sait herself and her daughter, it makes sense how good it tastes now…"
"Her Magic and Divine Powers go beyond our own taste buds, instead of making the fruits taste bad, they make it even tastier!"
"Incredible!"
"Well, the secret is in helping the plants grow using magic, but not directly intervening with the fruits themselves." I explained the process of how things grew inside my Dungeon, absorbing my endless Mana to grow as much as they wanted.
"We know of such process, but not many have been able to properly master such an art before, even the oldest Druids out there have difficulties producing as many fruits and vegetables through such methods."
"Well, in these parts of the continent, these products you've brought are very rare, young Heroine."
"At first I was skeptical, arr, but Aina, you've chosen a good lass now." The pirate-like half-elf laughed. "Lookin' forward to makin' business with you, Lady Sylph!"
"Thank you very much!" I smiled as radiantly as I could, showing them my gratefulness.
I wasn't pretending, I actually felt really happy that they liked everything! They seemed to giggle and smile at my honesty and slightly off manners, and found me rather cute and intelligent, some noticed I must be really hardworking too.
"Well, we're looking forward to our business from now on." Said Auntie Aina.
"Thank you for your time." My mother also thanked them.
"Yes, thank you!" I smiled.
As they walked away after having a nice meal, as they were busy people that had many appointments every day, we finally could relax.
"PHEW…"
We ended sitting over our chairs, as if we were melting. It was exhausting how much we had to entertain them, speak to them, and sell them the products properly!
"S-So this is how the world of merchants truly is…" I sighed.
"Indeed." Aina giggled. "It'll take a while for you to get used to this, but if you've got the energy and the desire to learn, you'll do so just fine."
"Make sure to remember all the things you've learned from today, Sylphy." My mother reminded me. "Never forget these experiences, they'll shape you into a very competent Merchant in the future."
"A-Alright." I yawned. "Hahh… I'm so tired! But at the same time, I feel so happy… I've made a lot of money… Though it's gonna take a while to collect everything. Should I pay my friends to help me collect things?"
"I think that would be for the best, if you plan to slowly build your own Company, workers are necessary. The closer they are from you, the more competent and trustworthy they will be." Auntie Aina smiled, patting my head. "Your friends are a wonderful consideration, if they're willing, that's it."
"I bet they will." I said. "As long as I offer them some cash… But I could also contract some people from back in Agartha, there's always some workers ready for anything, right?"
"Yeah, it would bring some much-needed jobs for a lot of our citizens." My mother nodded. "Just as I expected of my daughter, not only you're thinking about your new job, but you're also considering how to use these opportunities to benefit your people, that's how true rulers think!" My mother hugged me tightly.
I remember how many times she has reprimanded me and had been grumpy to me, seeing her being genuinely happy and proud of what I've accomplished, not just necessarily tied to just strength or magic power feels much more gratifying…
But now I should go meet everyone else!
"Alright, I'll get things done soon, Auntie, I'll go look for my friends for now!" I said.
"Sure thing, have fun dear." Auntie smiled.
"We'll be here if you need anything, honey." My mother gave me a big kiss in my forehead. "Your dad's with your uncle on the second floor if you need him. Your little brother should be with Nephilim in the manor too, somewhere, or maybe with your friends, he's alright because I'm checking on him with my Spirits, so don't worry."
"Okay~" I walked outside of the large office and finally meet again with my friends, who were having a lot of snacks in the flower garden.
"Hey! I'm back!" I waved my hand.
