Chapter 1089 - 1090: By the way, take a look at this.
Leaving his mothers to reflect on what he had heard, Idan left the house holding hands with Arabel's avatar.It was still the middle of the night outside.
The artificial moon and stars shone brightly in the sky, where clouds floated, and a cool breeze carried the sounds of the night bustle.
They walked slowly to Essora's house, where the real Arabel was already waiting for them in an elaborately furnished room.
"You took your time," Arabel said with a slight grin, leaving the room and hugging Idan.
Avatar Arabel didn't stay long and left with Essora to discuss some business, leaving the couple alone.
"You took your time," Idan replied, gently cupping his wife's cheeks and kissing her. Arabel greedily returned the kiss, as if she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
For Idan, it hadn't been a day since he'd last seen her, but for Arabel herself, a whole week had passed in this "time room."
Breaking away from the kiss, Idan looked with interest at his wife's stomach.
"Stupid," — Arabel laughed, noticing his interest. "It hasn't been five weeks yet, so it's too early to think about it."
"Hmm..." nodded Idan, lost in thought. "Didn't you mention that pregnancy is different for Valkyries? And that having the necessary resources can speed up this process and endow the fetus with great talents?"
"Yes, that's true, but it's still early," Arabel shook her head.
Having accumulated resources at their disposal, they did not skimp on spending.
Idan and Arabel were sure that with such capabilities, Arabel would not need nine months.
Moreover, Arabel will soon have to completely transform into an Ice Valkyrie and remain in this image until she gives birth.
"You use your avatar a lot. Does Bera mind this?" Idan couldn't help but ask. The calamity could be said to have already passed, and there was no longer an urgent need to use the avatar. He still hadn't forgotten about the side effect of this ability.
"Of course not," Arabel replied with a smile. "On the contrary, she's only in favor of me using an avatar."
Idan frowned slightly.
"Don't worry about it," Arabel gently touched his cheek. "I haven't forgotten about the side effect of this ability, and Bera will be fine."
Arabel wanted to say something else, but decided not to. After all, while she was using her avatar, Bera's consciousness was inside the replica of the house created in her mind, surrounded by other versions of Arabel.
During this time, Bera has become so attached to them that she is happy to return there.
If she was still a little girl before and didn't quite understand what was going on there, now she has grown up and considers other versions of Arabel to be her older sisters. She enjoys spending time with them.
They train her and even play with her.
In short, Bera was not bored in their company.
"By the way, take a look at this."
Arabel smiled and handed Idan an elegant jewelry box.
"Is that what I'm thinking?" his eyes lit up with curiosity as he imagined what was inside.
Arabel just smiled back and said:
"Open it and you'll see for yourself."
Idan carefully picked up the box, the lock clicked, and a light glow ran through the box. The lid lifted slightly, and he realized that Arabel had purchased it in the "Trade" function. As soon as he slightly opened the lid, a strong fragrance of herbs hit his nose.
There were six sections inside the box: three at the top and three at the bottom. There were several round and smooth tablets in each section.
They were pills for Longevity, Youth, and Beauty.
"The pills on top are of the first rank, and the ones on the bottom are of the second rank," Arabel prompted. "I sat here and thought that, although for us, beings of the third rank and above, pills of the first and second rank are almost useless, for our world, which has just begun to develop and where there are many mortals, including the elderly, such pills will be the most desirable. While it's too early for creatures of the third rank and above to think about pills of longevity and youth."
"Pills with rank 3 and above will be needed when we begin our operations in Junonia. I am sure they will be in great demand there and will be sold like hot cakes."
"I told you, you're a smart woman," — with these words, Idan closed the box and kissed Arabel gently.
He immediately realized that his wife had used the resources that the Host of the Supreme Alchemist System had given them at the wedding and had prepared them using the "Alchemy" function.
The gift included almost all the necessary ingredients to create pills from rank 1 to rank 5. These were only the ingredients that could be purchased using the Trade function.
"Take them with you just in case," Arabel whispered, kissing Idan tenderly.
"Okay," — Idan nodded, hiding the box in his spatial ring.
"Do you want to take a little walk? Shall we eat together?"
"Why not? I'm all for it," Arabel replied, hugging his hand. They left Essora's house and went to Sofia's restaurant, where, having found a secluded corner, they were able to enjoy a leisurely meal, talking about a variety of things without touching on current issues.
At the end of the meal, Arabel pulled him into the bedroom of the "family home."
She had been waiting for him for seven whole days.
Arabel couldn't just let him go. Idan himself wanted to relax a bit before heading to the Eastern Gate of the Dungeon, so he was all for it.
The week of waiting has paid off. Arabel had become more active, and Idan could feel the hunger building in her actions. Being a good husband, he decided to do his best to satisfy her.
And he coped with this task perfectly. In the morning, Idan woke up first, and his wife, with a satisfied smile, pressed her delicate, soft body against him.
Idan lay in bed for a long time before she woke up and hugged him even tighter.
They lay in each other's arms for a while longer until it was time to get up.
"Take Prina with you to the Dungeon Gate," Arabel suggested, looking up at her husband. "Although the probability of a Rank 6 creature from the world of fire appearing there is low, it still exists, so just in case, take her with you."
Arabel bit her lower lip and added:
"This way, I'll be calmer knowing that nothing will happen to you."
Idan could clearly feel Arabel's slight trembling and anxiety, so he hurried to calm her down.:
"If it makes you feel better, I'll take her with me."
Arabel smiled at Idan's agreement, and her anxiety disappeared.
