Faunia and Pedro entered the forest. Hours later, the two of them got a glimpse of a Kingdom.Unlike the Naga Kingdom, there were no beautiful crystal glowing rocks that lit the Kingdom walls at night. Instead, Torches on the walls and the light inside the Kingdom complemented the dark night. Similar to a beautiful view of the city at night, nowadays.
"Each Kingdom has its own beauty at night..." Pedro leaned on a tree whilst admiring the beautiful view of the Kingdom which was supposed to be the HQ of BHO.
"A Paradise looking h.e.l.l..." Faunia sighed after eliminating a monster.

"Hahaha! A paradise looking h.e.l.l, huh? Let"s go. Although I want to play along with their schemes, we need to recruit staff and crew as soon as possible and go back to the Aquari Continent."
Their figure vanished into thin air, as they rushed towards the HQ. The supposed three to four-day walk was covered by Pedro and Faunia in just hours.
They took the chance of having few people around and transforming into their dragon forms. They flew at a high alt.i.tude to avoid detection and transformed back to human form when the HQ was an hour by foot away.
An hour later...
"Who are you?" A soldier in patrol focused his torch towards Faunia and Pedro, who just went out of the forest.
"New recruits? Welcome to Kingdom Humberlica!" The soldier smiled as he pointed towards the huge gate of the Kingdom.
"Thanks, Senior!" Pedro bowed in a quick manner and forced out a smile to the soldier.
"He spoke to us in a welcoming and hospitable manner. But... He never lowered his guard against us. It seems like things would get a little bit serious now."
Pedro and Faunia were able to successfully enter the Head Quarters, Kingdom Humberlica. Compared to the tense air that can be felt outside the walls, as soon as they stepped inside Kingdom Humberlica, they were greeted by a busy and bustling Kingdom.
Shops that were located left and right, were open. NPCs were all over the area. Various items were sold in each shop. From caught monsters to weapons and armors of different rarity.
"This reminds me of the night market back ho~me." Pedro"s eyes shone upon seeing a shop in a far end corner of the street and ran towards it.
"No~ way! No way! This shop! There are so many skills being sold!" Pedro entered the skills shop without a second thought.
"How may I help you... Sire?" The salesman scanned through Pedro after noticing his "common rank" overcoat.
There were only a few people who enters the shop. And at the time Pedro entered the shop, He was the only customer. Hence, even if Pedro wore a "common rank" overcoat, the salesman had no choice but to entertain him.
This was because the "common ranks" were usually BHO members that were either newly recruited or has of low talent. Thus, indicating their low capability to purchase or afford something in the shop. This is the reason why "common ranks" were mostly seen either in restaurants or cafes, repair shops, or cheap housing areas.
This view of the "common rankers" has become a norm, thus making the salesman uninterested in Pedro and Faunia.
"Uhm... Can I look at some of the skills you are selling?"
"Ah! Of course, Sire! This is the catalog of the skills being sold in our shop." The salesman opened up a book facing Pedro.
"The skills listed in the catalog were listed in order, based on their uses. This page contains skills that were related to production. The next page... hunting. The next page... Battle skills. Lastly, the specialty of our shop, Enhancement skills."
"Ho Hoo..." Pedro brimmed with excitement.
"If I may... May I know if Sire has a specific kind of skill in mind to purchase?"
"There is nothing specific. But I might look in battle skills." Though the names of the skill and a brief description were written in the catalog, Pedro"s eyes were fixed at the catalog since he got a glimpse of it.
Minutes later, Pedro pointed to a skill under production.
"How much does this skill cost?"
"Ohoh... It seems like Sire has good eyes. That skill originally cost 2 gold coins. But since it is recruitment event, our shop offers a 50% discount on all items except Enhancement Skills. Thus, its price is 1 gold coin."
"Can I inspect it?"
"Eh? Of course, Sire! Please wait for a second." The salesman walked to a shelf and grabbed a crystal protected paper.
"Here it is, Sire." The salesman handed over the skill crystal to Pedro.

"With leaf and water? And I can craft a potion? I might not benefit from the 10% heal of the potion but... With almost no cost on materials, I can make a profit from this!"
"Ehm... For some reason, Do you have an idea of how much does a container of a potion cost?"
"Please forgive me for I don"t know the current cost of the containers. However, as I remember, a month ago, I heard from a customer that it cost around two bronze coins each."
"I see..." Pedro rubbed his chin as he stares at the skill on his other hand.
"This will do. I will certainly benefit from this skill. It may be at a disadvantage compared to [Basic Potion] and [Intermediate Potion] at this stage, but..."
"I have decided! I"ll take this one!" Pedro took out a gold coin from his pocket.
