Chapter 30: Mid-grade treasure box
In a forest,
Ash and others see 15 level 1 beasts stealthily going somewhere in groups, here Ash sees Ram is ready for defense with his weapon and Evan is also tightly gripping his axe and shield. He thinks "this attack by beasts is really going to be a pain in the neck, I hope we will not be badly injured by these beasts", now he is preparing to defend himself against these beasts' attack but beasts ignore them as if they don't exist and these beasts are going on a different path where they will not have to fight with Ash and others.
Ash thinks "maybe beasts are rushing to go somewhere, it is good for them but why am I feeling I will lose an opportunity if we do not follow them and spy on them, maybe they find some good treasure but is the risk worth it? let's discuss with Ram and Evan"
For 5 minutes Ash, Ram, and Evan talk with each other. At last, they decide to not pursue those beasts because altar upgrade is their first priority and if they grow their altar city to level 2 then this forest will become their small hunting ground for training new knights and soldiers. And beasts in the forest are going to be hunted or captured for taming for the city, and resources in the forest are going to be fully explored by their altar citizens so they do not feel rushed about finding other things.
Ash thinks "even if beasts find something extraordinary they are only going to upgrade their level into level two, I don't believe these beasts will find something very extraordinary that they can use easily and upgrade their strength easily."
Few minutes of traveling, he and others arrive at their destination and they begin working towards their work. He is cutting woods with his knife and he sees Ram is using his sword's slash to cut the trees, here Evan is using his axe for cutting trees.
He realizes, time to time beasts are gazing in the direction where he and others are chopping the trees but those beasts don't dare to come near their group, he thinks "maybe Ram's deterrence."
1 hour later, they finish chopping wood and they chop 300 wood this time because
"I can handle more wood's weight without a problem." Ram said with a smile on his face
So, Ash agrees with Ram and allows him to carry more wood for the altar city.
5 minutes of travel after chopping of wood, he sees a treasure box in the den where two level 1 beasts are sleeping, Ash tries to see the status of the treasure box and beasts.
A window pops up in front of Ash.

After seeing the status of both treasure and beast, he decides to take this treasure box. So, Ash and others decide to kill the beasts to take their cores too, he and Evan decide to attack the same beast and Ram decides to take the other beast.
So, two minutes later,
Ash and Evan attack the beast with their weapons quickly, and the beast is injured but not dead so both decisively attack the beast and defend against its attack, sometimes the beast decides to escape from here but Ash blocks its escape so the beast fights with Ash very fiercely and his eyes are red and this beast is only attacking Ash and he has to dodge this monster's attacks but this monster also avoids the attack of Evan. After 5 minutes of attack by Ash and Evan, the beast is badly injured and 1 minute later beast is killed by Ash with his knife on the neck of the beast. And see in another direction where he sees Ram is sitting on the soil with a smile on his face and somewhere in the distance the other beast's body exists.
He thinks "maybe Ram killed the beast soon but he did not come to help them because he wants to increase their combat experience.", so Ash does not say anything to Ram. He just smiles in the direction of Ram, after he enters the den and takes the treasure box but he does not open it yet, he thinks "I should open it in the city because opening here will increase our carrying weight that is not good."
They start to go toward the Nexus City.
15 minutes of travelling, they finally enter the Nexus City, Ash has a smile on his face and anticipation about what he will get from his first time mid-grade treasure. They put their woods in the city. He sees Robin also comes to greet them and he sees Robin seems to be working on his role that is taking care of his responsibility that is Nexus City's internal works. He sees Robin taking those beast meats into the kitchen.
After, "I cook the food for all of us to eat and I will take the wood into the warehouse so you all just rest." Robin said with a smile on his face.
Ash nodded with Robin's statement after Ash sat on the soil, he sees others are also sitting near him with curious eyes but Robin is transporting the goods to their destination.
Ash thinks "I am also very curious on what I get from this mid-grade treasure box, so I understand their curiosity. Please Eldros world's will, give me something best for my city and for me for this I am now bowing myself in front of you, O world give me something very treasured for this I am bowing in front of you."
After Ash opens the treasure box with some nervous eyes and shaking hands but a smile on his face, he is somewhat absentminded in anticipation of getting good treasures and fear of getting bad treasures, 2 seconds later a golden light emits from the mid-grade treasure box and box vanishes into thin air. His eyes are showing anticipation and he is somewhat nervous in his mind.
After, a window pops up in front of Ash.
...

"Okay my lord" Ram said with a smile on his face and calm voice.
Ash nodded, and he sees both Ram and Evan's eyes are showing curiosity so he thinks "maybe they are curious about what treasure Nexus City got and I will show them what treasure we got from this trip to the forest."
3 minutes later, all of them arrive near the warehouse and he sees Robin working on the warehouse and he said to Robin come with us for a few minutes,
After Ash and others stand near the warehouse and he communicates through his mind connection with altar for getting new treasure out from warehouse after he gets a positive response from altar.
Few seconds later all the treasures from the mid-grade box are out of the warehouse and stand near him and he said to Ram, Evan and Robin see the new treasures we got from mid-grade treasure box.
He sees all of them have smiles on their faces and he also has a small smile on his face.

All of them said "No problem my lord"
A small smile appeared on the face of Ash.
"Let's attach the new guide mark on altar.", ash said with smile on his face.
