"So, can I get my payment now?" Alex asked after several seconds of silence.
The Elder recovered and sighed.
"Sure," he said. "I'll make arrangements for your payment right now."
The Elder walked out of the house while Alex sat down and waited.
The pleasant smell of the room made Alex's mind relax, and before he noticed it, the Elder had already returned.
"The Ice Wood and a sled wagon will be ready shortly," the Elder said.
"Sled wagon?" Alex asked in confusion.
The Elder nodded. "A sled wagon is the best method to transport goods in this region. It's a sled that can be outfitted with four wheels when necessary. That allows you to transport things in the snow and on the ground."
"Oh," Alex said with some wonder.
That sounded like a practical vehicle.
Alex wondered why he had never heard of something like that on Earth.
"Thanks," Alex added after thinking about the sled wagon for a bit, "but why does it need wheels? Is Warrior's Paradise in a different climate?"
The Elder nodded. "We are in the Ice Wyvern Zone. Warrior's Paradise is in the Storm Eagle Zone," the Elder explained.
"Ice Wyvern Zone? Storm Eagle Zone?" Alex asked. "Why are the zones named after beasts?"
The Elder was taken aback by Alex's question.
"Because of the Ice Wyvern and the Storm Eagle," the Elder explained with a weird tone. It was like Alex had asked a stupid question.
"I've never heard of these two beasts," Alex said. "Why are the Zones named after them? Are they in the Zones?"
The Elder lifted an eyebrow in skepticism as he looked at Alex.
