<h4>Chapter 272: Touring the Properties (2)</h4>
When Trabyia stepped outside of the office, she got to see the two carts that were upied by my family, who were all leaning against the wooden frames and chatting idly as they waited for us to return.
Rhefia remained in the back of the main carriage, talking to Yiksa about something before waving at us as we stepped out of the office, with the brown skinned woman beside us stiffening for a moment as she looked at the Geri resting on the side of the road, therge wolf monsters dozing off in a pile.
"Are they..?"
Sari smirked as she stepped forwards, pping the thin woman''s shoulder as she confirmed Trabyia''s suspicions.
"Yup~! This diverse cluster of people in front of you is our family; two Dark Elves, Deerkin, Catkin, and one Lamia as well~!"
Looking around, the chocte skinned woman nodded before taking a deep breath, smiling wryly at us as she asked "I am assuming you''d rather see thends via your own carriages? And that there is no need for any guards?"
I pursed my lips beneath the veil, only to nod as I said "I''d rather that. The Geri should be enough to ward off any unsavory characters, and if they aren''t, well, Sari here used to be a Captain in the Warrior''s Guild."
That made Trabyia look at my wife in surprise, before chuckling as she walked down towards the carriages.
Trabyia introduced herself to everyone, before gesturing to one of the guards that waited nearby the offices entrance, telling her to bring a horse over for her so that she could guide us to the plots.
She went over everything that she told Sari and I back in the office as she waited, informing the rest of the family about the plots in some more detail before mounting the bulky chestnut colored horse that was brought to her, slipping into the saddle naturally as she nodded to the guard, who backed away.
Joining Aethisia up on the front of the carriage, I waited for Yiksa to mount her own cart before nodding at Trabyia, who began to trot off towards the western gate.
Following behind her, we exited the city and set off down the road, looking over the vast grassy ins and copses of trees that dotted thendscape, making this area scenic.

The first plot that we reached was at the end of the Potaam River, which was snaking through the soft, rolling hills of the Dryadi Queendom and traveling further west, likely eventually connecting to anotherke, another river, or perhaps even the ocean.
Arge forest sprawled out towards the walls of Birchan, the trees tall and lush as they stood proudly beside the city, under the Queen''s protection - likely from the Goddess Dryatra''s orders - and towered above the plot that was marked out with pirs of rock.
"This is the first plot. Smaller and at the end of the Potaam River, this is just a minute or two from the city and connected to the main road. As you can see, it''s a pretty sizable plot ofnd for a house, and you can certainly get a good garden set up for yourself as well! The Potaam River is flush with fish and other river-dwelling animals, and it provides a good source of clean water for growing crops, drinking, or using to clean clothes; just make sure to keep the water clean as well."
We nodded, and I turned and studied the two pirs behind us, before tracing out the outline of this plot in my mind.
Farrger then the small clearing that I hade to associate with ''home'', this plot would serve well for a ce to live, and the nearness to the city was beneficial in multiple ways, just like it came with a few cons.
The manor that we built didn''t need to be toorge, but instead could be built upwards; three floors above the ground and however much I could manage below the earth - which would require it''s own testing, but considering the truly magical nature of the system, I was rather hopeful - so space wouldn''t be an issue for us, even with a growing family.
That left a good chunk ofnd for growing crops, our own fruit trees, maple trees... perhaps a roadside stall selling produce too?
It was a quaint plot, and it would definitely be worth the 265 Gold that it was priced at.
Location andnd avable was incredible, the view was beautiful, and we''d get money back because of the Queen''s forest?
Yeah, it''d be rather good to purchase...
After we walked around the plot for a few minutes and took mental note of the actual size, we moved onto the next plot, getting into the carriage and traveling down the road until we reached the ''middle'' of the Potaam River, which was shrouded in a patchy forest.
Following Trabyia, we went down a dirt road and emerged into a lush field of grass that was perfectly t, with a nice beach sloping down into the river, where a few fish could be seen swimming along with the soft current, enjoying the deep river to their tiny hearts content.
Like with the others, the stone pirs marked out the dimensions of the plot, and just a few feet away from the edges was a thick screen of trees, blocking the view of the golden wheat field and the cozy manor atop a hill on either side.
Just like with the first one, we walked around and gestured towards where it''d be best to settle down the house and where everything would go, before we returned to Trabyia and began to discuss our findings and desires, the chocte skinned woman nodding as she listened to us speak.

Just felt like making this portion quicker, since everything is just getting regurgitated lol, but I do agree and disagree with people about the size of thend; it''s not gigantic, but it''s still ratherrge...
To me, anyways, since I live in the suburbs and my own property is a third of an acre (roughly) so imagining six of my houses/yards is... yeah, it feels big, but I understand how it wouldn''t be in regards to an actual farm or something.
Just remember, they made do with a 30x30 clearing and procured enough wheat and corn tost the winter since crops grow drastically quicker under their care, so this is quality over quantity lol~!
Anyways, just wanted to say that, so yeah~
