Chapter 173 Domain Characteristics II

"Amazing..!!" Adonis couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, as he subconsciously stood up from his chair.

This was... too much.

Forget everything, just this characteristic alone, paired with the Divine Neem, would create a devastating combination.

"Especially the last effect. I might not know what the three aspects are, but if I plant the Divine Neem, how promising would the seeds be?" He wondered in excitement, as he sat back down.

To add, Damien had given him and Fiona a lot of high grade resources. Six types of Tier 1, three types of Tier 2, and a single Tier 3 resources as part of their starter pack.

For him, it were: Hazel Dill(Low-grade Tier 1), North Devil Iris(Mid-grade Tier 1), Blue Blade Grass(Low-grade Tier 1), Red Anjour(Mid-grade Tier 1), Sweet Bitter Apula(Mid-grade Tier 1), Green God Plant(High-grade Tier 1), Frivolous Sage Herb(Low-grade Tier 2), Illusory Misty Daisies(Mid-grade Tier 2), Atomic Plums(High-grade Tier 2) and Celestial Divine Mint(Mid-grade Tier 3).

These were ten resources he obtained as a gift to him, in becoming a city lord. Some were herbs, some plants, some fruits, some vegetables... all unique to this world.

They obtained ten batches of each, with each batch containing a hundred within. Thus he currently had 10,000 resources they could splander on themselves.

"I had no way of dealing with them before, since some required different regions to prosper. Like the North Devil Iris, it needs extreme cold regions. Or the Red Anjour, which needs forest regions." Adonis sighed thinking back to the past.

He had yet to use any of these resources, keeping them in his storage bag, where time was static. He did so, because without a means to replant the seeds, these resources were only of one-time value.

And he, needed something that could not only benefit him, but the whole of Avarice. And possibly, the Shade Stronghold too.

Meanwhile, Fiona had used a few.

Strangely, she would peel the fruits for him during their late night conversations, or take out special herbs and vegetables for his personal chefs to pop out a decent meal for him.

He didn't understand why she would do so, but it didn't matter. Her behavior was cute to him, so he did not stress himself over it.

"And now that one problem seems to be resolved. That's one burden off my shoulders." He lay back as he thought to himself.

With the third effect of the Ethereal Farmlands, this problem was as good as gone. And with the arrival of his sister, Adriana Adams, tomorrow, another problem may be solved.

"...I guess I should rest for now." He thought out loud, not bothering to stress himself about it at the moment.

And as he had those thoughts, he immediately went back towards his room. With Fiona at her room, Ninth outside, and Sixth nowhere to be found, he had no difficulty falling asleep.

And just like that, the night flashed by.

The next day arrived, a day before Damien concluded his little activity of defyiny logic.

Adonis woke up to a letter from his sister claiming that she would be late by a few days.

"..."

Sitting up atop his bed, Adonis couldn't help but sigh to himself. 'I guess I'll have to just wait a bit longer then.' He mused to himself.

Afterwards, he stood up, and the two maids that came to attend him, helped undress him. They were also the ones who brought him the letter as soon as he woke up.

One undressed him, while the other heated the water of his personal bath.

Moments later, they took ahold of his bedtime attire, bowed, and left.

"..."

Adonis had no qualms of being helped with being undressed and dressed, he was used to it. But bathing?

He preferred to do that himself.

'Well, I mostly spent tens of minutes just submerging myself in water. If my maids were to come, I'd waste their time.' He thought to himself, entering the room connected to his bedroom.

The mansion of the city lord was highly advanced. The more important rooms, had their own personal bathrooms within, a mini kitchen with snacks carefully stored, and a living room combined with a large balcony.

Whether he chose to sit in the living room, or at the balcony, he could easily gaze outside, and into a large portion of the royal district of Avarice.

And these were all his. There were other rooms, living rooms, kitchens, that were accessible by others, such as the servants and guests.

"My room alone is like a mini house... If I so desire, I can spend weeks locked up in here." He thought to himself, relaxing within the bath.

But of course, that was impossible.

As the city lord, he had a lot to do. Avarice was not small, and all of it, was his responsibility. Plus, he had to attend to Fiona, and the everchanging environment.

"...Being a lord in these times is actually harder than I thought." He chuckled to himself, thinking back to all his plans, and goals.

Ever since he obtained this position, peace has been but a fleeting dream to him. And it hasn't even been a couple of months since he became the lord of Avarice.

'If it wasn't for lord Damien...' He sighed to himself, staring up at the ceiling in thought.

His charm was unexpectedly enhanced, as his wet blonde hair gave him a sensual charm, alongside his now slightly-toned body, and his blue eyes staring up in thought.

Such a beautiful rare scene. A picturesque scenery of the young city lord at his most vulnerable.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't last long, as a knock resounded throughout his room, bringing his attention back to world.

"Hey Adonis, pardon my intrusion. I knocked a few times at your door but to no avail, so I let myself in. Hehe, my apologies, but lady Juliette has invited us to the construction site of the Silver Institution, and I thought to let you." Fiona's voice followed after.

'Knowing you, you'd spent an hour in there.' She added in her thoughts, before adding out loud, "I will be waiting for you at the lounge to have breakfast. Today, I told the chef to make us your favorite meal. You're welcome~"

Jubilant, she left raising her chin up. 'There is no need for you to praise me, Adonis. I know I am the best.' She thought to herself.

She had the image of Adonis thanking her in his mind, for being so thoughtful. But in reality, the young man was still frozen shocked from what just took place.

'You know, miss Fiona... it's not okay to enter a man's room when he's taking a bath.' He sighed in exasperation, already imagining her response.

You wouldn't do anything to me, would you, lord Adonis~

"..."

Yup, she would respond in that manner. And he still wasn't sure how to feel about it. Her teasing was well accepted, but, can she just relax a bit?

Was he really that harmless?

'Am I... not manly enough?' He thought in self-disappointment.

With that, he ended his bath earlier than usual. There was no practice today, as he was expecting his sister and Sixth was absent, so he had a lot of time.

It was still seven in the morning. He got out of his room, neatly dressed himself, and went towards the lounge to meet up with Fiona.

And from there, the duo went to the dining room, and had a well deserved breakfast. Just the two of them, once more, Fiona treating him.

Afterwards, they both went out with the royal coach towards the outer city. 'It should take us three or so hours to arrive. Thus we will be an hour earlier than the meet up time.' Adonis thought to himself.

Juliette told them to meet her at the construction site at twelve in the afternoon, and now was around eight in the morning. They had enough time.

"So, Adonis, what do you think Juliette wants from us?" Fiona inquired as the two of them sat staring at each other within his royal coach.

Like usual, Fiona wore a fiery red dress. But due to the season, her dress was only knee length, and had rose patterns on both sides, making her all the more adorable.

Meanwhile, like usual as well, Adonis wore long black trousers, a plain white shirt that he pulled the sleeves up to his elbows, as well as a black waistcoat over his shirt.

They were both stunning as usual.

"I... am not sure. I cannot guess the intention of those two behemoths." Adonis shook his head clueless. If anything, the Silver couple were a complete mystery.

"I know, right?" Fiona also sighed to herself, as she thought back to the absolutely stunning Juliette.

And thinking back, she couldn't help but smile slightly, looking forward to seeing her friend, slash idol. After all, they were both the same age.

"..."

Adonis saw her smile, and couldn't help but smile himself.
