When we got back to the ship Ivan wasn't here anymore, for some reason I couldn't find Vanessa anywhere either, Nira told me that she went out to do something but took Hela with her so I think everything will be fine.
I join Nira to talk about the deal I made today with government trader Eleanor.
I told Nira everything and even gave her a copy of the contract where the list of items purchased was along with the total amount accepted by both parties in the deal.
"You were a very good master, but you could have reached an even lower value, maybe even 32% or 31% if you had pointed out are war loot, but even so, the value is very good." (Nira)
"War looting has a lower heat?" (I)
"Yes, mainly because there was no expense to purchase the item, they received these things as a bonus that they can turn into quick cash by selling directly like this." (Nira)
"The only thing I don't understand is why not sell directly to the Trading Guild?" (I)
"Because the value will be even lower, making direct deals is always more profitable than selling to the Guild that will resell to another merchant." (Nira)
"If they sold to the Trading Guild the price would have gone up to 50%." (Nira)
"Damn! If I'd known that I'm sure I could have put her up to 40%." (I)
"I find this difficult, you should not underestimate a true master trader, always be wary of their words and expressions as they can be used to manipulate you into believing certain things to set a price they deem acceptable." (Nira)
"But the price is still very good, apart from the decoration items, the other items are not very important, but they will still be useful." (Nira)
"How was the sale of the things we brought in?" (I)
"I managed to sell it all for a decent price, but it only made 1/4 of what you spent, master." (Nira)
"Weapons and armor were sold at triple the price, in addition, potions were sold at double the price and other items such as monster materials were sold at the market price." (Nira)
"Well done." (I)
After talking about the trade we did today, I tell Nira to ask Lilian to meet me at the Dungeon when she arrives, then heads back to the mansion since there's not much to do in a ruined city.

Pov Vanessa:
I know there are a lot of Vampires that live on this continent, but I've never been here before, so I'm walking down the street looking to see if I can find the Vampire population of this town.
Hela came to keep me company, with her appearance it must be easy to mistake her for the Demon race.
As I walk through the streets I notice that the Vampire population of this town is almost non-existent, but there are a few Dhampiros scattered around.
I focus my Aura in my eyes as Ragnar taught me, so I can better perceive some things without having to spread my Aura all over the area.
With that, I can at least see people's Auras and see if there are any Goddess Selene believers in this town, but I'm just disappointed since there don't seem to be any.
"Something wrong?" (Hela)
"I expected to find some Goddess believers in this town, but there don't seem to be any." (I)
"Why are you looking for them here?" (Hela)
"I am a Priestess, as such I must lend a hand to help all who kneel before the Blood Goddess." (I)
"If I'm not mistaken, the Vampires of this continent are not on good terms with the faction they are a part of." (Hela)
"Mostly yes, but not all, you will learn over time that not all believers in the Blood Goddess are Vampires, there are people of all races." (I)
As I was talking to Hela on the way back to the ship, I noticed murderous intent targeting me briefly, but when I looked there was nothing else.

Pov Zenos:
During the night Lilian came back looking the same as always, bad I could feel a disturbance in her Aura, but I didn't know what it was, the best judgment I could make was to see the gleam of happiness in her eyes, something very happy must have been happened to her, I just don't know what caused it.
I take Lilian to a building in the City of Shadows that will be used as a government building where the people who will run the city will be, I go straight to an empty meeting room where there is a big table where I open a map of the Dark Continent.
This map has almost no markings that explain about the Dark Continent, even the geography of the terrain has almost no descriptions, but it should be enough for Lilian and me to discuss the route we are going to use to travel this continent.
"Where do you want to go, Holy Son?" (Lilian)
"Our ultimate goal is the Poisonous Forest, the Elf village we have to go to is there." (I)
"We can go to the city closest to the Forest, there are Elves there who serve as liaisons with those in the village, we should get a pass easily." (Lilian)
"No need, finding the village will not be a problem for me and Freya, it will also be easy for us to enter the village." (I)
"I'm going to avoid this city since I know there will be a lot of eyes there." (I)
"So you want to head straight for the Poisonous Forest?" (Lilian)
"Of course not, my plan is to tour all the way there, plus I plan to make some detours if I need to visit beautiful or interesting places." (I)
"If there's something in one of those categories along the way, I'd be happy to take the advice of a resident of this continent like you." (I)
"I think we can make some stops at these three points, there are two cities that are very interesting and a small Vampire city that was founded just a few centuries ago that is beautiful." (Lilian)
"We can also pass through here, this is an abandoned land controlled by the undead, in the center of this land is an ancient ruined capital that has become a ghost town, there are several dungeons throughout the terrain being the most dangerous within the city. " (Lilian)
"Why are you pointing out a place that clearly looks dangerous?" (I)
"Because it's a very mysterious place, full of monsters that are usually hard to kill and at the same time have a mysterious beauty." (Lilian)
"..." (I)
"(Is entering a ghost town the same as entering a ghost house?)" (I)
