Liam looked at her but he did not make a big deal of it. "Ok." He replied and then went back to climbing down the staircase.
"Ah." Alex stammered and quickly rushed behind him again. "One second."
"What happened?" Liam asked her again.
"I… I managed to get some more recipes. Here." Alex took out a bunch of potion recipes and handed them to Liam. There were in total fifteen recipes which was a good haul.
"This is good. Thanks. I appreciate it." Liam quickly placed all the recipes in his inventory.
"I… I didn't do anything. This is from the guild. A few players exchanged these recipes for guild contribution points." Alex hurriedly explained.
"I see. Alright then."
Alex still looked reluctant so Liam sighed and went back to give her a pat. "I hope your brother recovers enough to be able to play again." He awkwardly patted her head full of flowing red hair.
"I have to go now. I will meet back with you guys later."
He finally left and the red-haired beauty no longer ran behind him. She was standing rooted on the spot with various complicated emotions on her face.
She started at the empty space for a few seconds before returning back to the room that was no longer a garden.
"Yes, he wasn't kidding when he said that the garden was from the stone tablet." Mia smiled bitterly.
Even she was surprised. It was almost as if there were teleported back and forth from a different world.
She noticed Alex's weird expression and asked, "Did something happen? Why did you run out in a hurry?"
"Nothing. Nothing. I just wanted to say thanks." Alex awkwardly coughed and recovered.
"Right. Did you say thanks or did you pick a fight with him again?"
Alex silently rolled her eyes and did not reply any longer. The two of them sat beside Rey and patiently waited for him to recover.
Meanwhile… Liam was already on his way to the Gresh Kingdom newbie zones.
These were the small towns and villages near the center of the Kingdom. The new players usually spawned here.
If he did not have the quest in his hand, he would have had to search for the man everywhere but he had the quest so he only needed to take a look at the quest description.
This had now changed to indicate that he had to return back to the instructor and meet him at Vala town. This meant that he was currently there.
Liam quickly hurried over and reached the town area. The place was in fact currently being tormented by two demonic beasts.
A few of the town elders had gathered around to deal with these beasts and the instructor was also one of them.
Around these people, of course, many players were gathered around like hyenas because for the newbies this was a rare chance to fight with an elite right in the newbie zone and maybe even get the last hit and bountiful experience points.
However, unfortunately for them… Liam landed and he only needed a couple of hits to finish off the two demonic beasts.
Liam ignored the several players who cursed him out loudly and directly walked over to the instructor.
