Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 1875: The Growing Civilization Inside The Dungeon

-----

After being spotted by the guards, I quickly spoke with a loud voice.

”It’s me, everyone! I have returned with visitors, Aquarina.”

”Oh? Ah, the goddess!”

”Please excuse our rudeness, we didn’t know...”

”Lately there’s been group of monsters hitting the walls all the time, attracted to the food.”

”We apologize, and we are glad to see your divine brilliance once more!”

The door quickly opened as we entered, we were greeted by more soldiers who all recognized me, calling my name.

”Goddess Sylphy!”

”You’re here?”

”Welcome!”

”Have you brought a friend from the divine realm?”

”That’s... Goddess Aquarina! I remember her!”

”She has dominion over water...”

Aquarina looked at me with a weirded-out glare, she was a bit confused about what they were talking about, but I just told her to smile and wave her hand.

”Just smile and wave your hand... No matter how many times I tell them that we aren’t actually gods, they really don’t want to believe it,” I explained. ”And well, any person that comes with me from outside is considered one at the end.”

”Really? Well, I don’t mind...” Aquarina shrugged. ”Hi everyone! You’re looking good! Keep working hard!”

As she waved her hand, the people became happier, however the commotion quickly recessed as we walked through the village, not as recognized anymore thankfully, so we were able to enjoy the simpler things.

”Sylphy this place is beautiful,” Aquarina was amazed.

The streets were now slightly more paved here and there, creating nice roads that didn’t clash with nature, there were larger houses that looked quite beautiful, merged with trees or that were huge trees themselves, and several other shops made by the people out of modified houses, which apparently didn’t count as facilities in the civilization system.

And of course, the people there were cute little Robotians walking around here and there, talking in their robotic dialect and purchasing materials for their creations or producing rich organic fuel or oil to keep themselves from rusting away.

There were also quite a few markets, people selling products, a lot of food at that, the currency were shiny blue crystal pebbles, which were Monster Core crystals, they were valuable as they had Mana they could absorb to keep themselves healthy and strong, a necessity for everyone, so they were always valuable ad highly sought after.

Kind of similar to that time my father told me that they once used salt as currency, and that they still kind of do nowadays... now there’s an actual currency through most of the Elven Empire and the Human Alliance, which are coins divided on gold, silver, and bronze.

The metals themselves are quire valuable, great for the creation of countless things, be it magical gadgets, utensils, houses, weapons, armor, all kind of luxuries, and they also don’t disappear, or rot away like other things such as actual salt, for example.

But that’s not really the riches that make the capital, they’re part of it, the treasury of the Elven Empire and the Human Alliance is immense, and... Well, I have never seen it before, but it should be huge.

”It is, isn’t it? Did you notice how they’re using currency now? They used to do trade but now they also use Monster Cores or Mana Crystals as we call them, as currency,” I explained. ”Robotians and Arboren can absorb these to gain energy and feel revitalized, so they’re pretty valuable.”

”Wow!” Aquarina said. ”I didn’t think they had thought about stuff like currency already, did you teach them?”

”Yeah, with Selene’s help... and there she is.”

We reached the church, where Selene was helping out some young people, teaching them a few things about using magic and such. The children were listening attentively to everything.

”And like this you can create your own Magic Circle, children,” she said. ”You will have to first practice how you create Runes, and then once you’ve become capable of doing a magic circle yourselves and conjuring a spell or two, we’ll proceed to your Magic Cricle Awakening Ritual.”

”Saintess Selene! Saintess Selene!” A little strawberry-headed Arboren girl asked, raising her little hands made of vines.

”Yes?” Selene asked.

”Is it true that we can awaken magic like this?” the girl asked. ”And that everyone gets their own magic type?”

”I am not too sure everyone will get an unique magic path,” Selene explained. ”But those with talent might get something a little special compared to the rest... however, that you are here already is special enough, and even if you don’t get a unique Magic Circle, I am sure you’ll be able to grow stronger and create your own magic if you truly put the effort and time into it.”

”Wooow!”

”Really?”

”Thanks...!”

”Then I will work hard...”

”Yes do your best, everyone, and don’t falter if you ever need some help, I will always be here to listen to any of your problems,” Selene said with a gentle smile.

”Thank you Saintess Selene!”

The Arboren children quickly stood up from the grass, walking away, some reuniting with their parents, while others walked back home on their own, some together, others alone.

”Goddess Sylph, it has been a while since your last visit,” Selene quickly noticed us. ”Oh? Who is this with you? Ah! Could it be Goddess Aquarina? It has been a long time!”

”Ah yeah, hello there,” Aquarina said with a slightly nervous smile. ”This entire place has grown a lot, is this your doing?”

”Yes, with the help of Goddess Sylphy, we’ve been working hard every day for this place to expand and become something bigger, grander,” Selene smiled. ”I am also quite happy that our Faith has helped her grown stronger. Last time she visited, she told me about having employed such power to help you even when you were very far away!”

”Ah, so she told you about me...” Aquarina looked at me.

”Aheheh...” I giggled nervously. ”Well, yeah, I had to... She’s someone that’s been helping me all this time, Aquarina. But it was a nice theme of conversation to pass the time.”
