Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

After that, they walked back to the mansion with gloomy expressions. After a few minutes, Stella stopped them and tried to cheer them up.

“Let’s not be all negative and gloomy,” Stella said. “Today is a sad day indeed, but the world also consists of sunshine and rainbows. Why don’t we do something fun?”

They all looked at each other and understood that being all gloomy wouldn’t help anyone.

Mary tapped her face a few times to cheer up. “What should we do?”

“Why don’t we go to the local herb store? Maybe being inside a room full of fragrance and beautiful herbs will cheer us up,” Lura suggested.

“That’s a good idea,” Aldred said. “Let’s go there.”

Everyone smiled and chatted, trying to change the mood for the better as they walked on the street.

A few minutes later, they arrived in front of the herb store.

“Wow… that’s quite a big store for selling herbs,” Aldred said.

“This is the average size for a herb store,” Lura said. “After all, herbs are very expensive.” .

“Expensive? Why?”

“Aldred, herbs can be used to make potions with all kinds of effects. Healing potions are made out of herbs.”

“Oh, you guys are talking about magic herbs…” Aldred almost forgot that almost every herb in this world was magical, so everyone else was kind of confused by his comment.

They didn’t say anything to him though.

Entering the herb store, they all smelled the unique intertwining fragrance that entered their nose and stayed in their lungs. It was soothing and calming. It was like laying down on the bed after a long day of work or being massaged while having cramped muscles.

“Hello,” an old clerk greeted them. He had white wrinkled skin and a white long beard that reached his chest. His posture was straight despite his age.

“How can I help you?”

“Don’t mind us. We are just looking around,” Lura said.

“Ahh, you must be Lura, the Governor’s daughter. You are more than welcome to look around. Stay as long as you want, and if you need any help, don’t be shy and call for me.”

“I will. Thank you,” Lura said.

The old man bowed slightly and tended to his herbs.

Lura led them around the store. The store was mostly made out of wood with big and small tables around them. The herbs were placed on these tables. Some herbs were protected by a glass casing, while some were placed right at the window, basking in the sunlight.

There were all kinds of herbs with all kinds of needs and sizes.

One herb was of dark color. It looked like a tiny tree that was spilled over with black paint, and it was located in the darkest spot of the store.

Stella explained that the herb could not touch any sunlight, or it would die. .𝒎

“How much does this herb cost?”

“The herbs here are quite high-end, so at minimum, you need to spend 10,000 gold coins for a single herb.”

“You have got to be kidding me,” Aldred said.

“Actually, the seller didn’t make that much profit. It’s very expensive to grow high-quality herbs. You cannot pick it up randomly in the wild. You have to groom it with magic powder, mana crystals, and all sorts of treasures. When these high-quality herbs are used to make potions, their grade will surely increase, and their effect will be potent as well.”

“I see.” Aldred nodded a bunch of times until he saw a business opportunity. “I am going to buy every type of herb in this store.”

“Aldred, are you sure about this?” Mary asked.

“Don’t forget that we are not poor anymore, Mary. We have so much money that we can’t even spend it all.”

“Why would you want to buy all these herbs? We don’t have a chemist.” Mareona was confused by his decision.

“They look and smell nice,” Aldred replied.

“I will talk with the clerk.” Lura then looked for the old clerk and talked with him about every type of herb available.

The old man was shocked, but he did as ordered and put all the herbs in a spatial bag. Lura then paid with her cards and thanked the old man before giving Aldred the bag.

“How much do I need to pay you?” Aldred asked.

“You can have it,” Lura replied.

“I cannot do that. These things could cost a lot.”

Lura smiled. “It’s okay. This much is nothing for me.”

“Thank you.” Aldred would tell Tarrar to give a discount to this city later on if they wanted to buy more golems from him.

After buying the herbs, they returned to the mansion.

“Young Miss Lura,” a guard greeted. “Your father is looking for you.”

“Excuse me, everyone.”

Aldred nodded at her before she left. He walked to his room alongside his wives.

After closing the door of their bedroom, Rachel asked: “So why are you buying the herbs? I am sure you have something in mind.”

“We can grow these herbs ourselves and sell them to people.”

“Where would you grow them?” Sophia asked.

“Humph, didn’t you remember what Lura said earlier? Growing these herbs is not easy,” Mally said.

“Come with me.” Aldred waved his hand, and everyone was teleported inside the Divine Dimension.

Lush plains, thick forest, a wide and deep river. Cows grazed the plains, fish swam in the river, and all kinds of animals were here.

On the side, there was a plot of land for farming crops, vegetables, and fruits.

Aldred wanted to grow the Sea Fruit here, but it wasn’t possible yet because his river is not deep enough.

He wanted to try to grow the herbs he just brought into this dimension. If it worked, he could make another source of income.

“We don’t have any instructions on how to grow these herbs. How are we going to do it?” Kiara asked.

Aldred smiled and raised the spatial bags containing the herbs. “System, grow these herbs for me.”

The herbs automatically floated out of the spatial bag, and then another plot of land magically transformed into wet soil that was suitable for a certain herb.

One of the herbs floated and planted itself on the wet soil. The next soil became dry and hot air blew around it. Another herb floated and planted itself on the dry soil.

Each time, a small plot of land would be transformed to accommodate a specific herb. Even the herbs that could not touch sunlight were not a problem for the system.

The system created a small pocket of space where only a small amount of light could enter it. This made it a suitable place for the herb.

Soon after, all the herbs were planted in their perfect environment.

“It’s too bad that I cannot grow Sea Fruit here. Even though I am like a god in this dimension, there are still some limitations.”

“It can grow herbs, but not Sea Fruit… Herbs are much better though, so it’s fine,” Mareona said.

“Not really. Sea Fruit can have a random effect and trigger randomly, but its effect is so valuable that it might even be more valuable than the herbs,” Aldred said.

“So, Sea Fruit is like a lottery, and you said it’s more valuable than the herbs?” Zafrina asked.

“Well, it depends on the type of herbs too, I guess.”
