"Aunt Jemima always said to pay workers their due, a fair wage is their right!"
Gill smiles as she leans in to receive your pay.
"Hehe, that's a good lad-"
That's right when you give her a bonus surprise hug! Everyone loves a surprise hug. She blushes as you sink into her abs.
"Also, thanks for being mom's best friend."
"Awwh, how sweet! You've done Sanya proud, Craig! Now go have a good adventure in there!"
"I will!"
Gill returns to her beltrider and speeds away, as you approach the tower looming in front of you. Most of it is natural - Gongalla tend to grow buildings like these - but the entrance is built by people. Still, it's kinda different from the other built buildings in Viridis, though... better take a quick mana signature check.
After some concentration, you see that there's mostly signatures of enchanted things or magitek inside - traps? Or something else? There's also a group of magic users, their signature is unmistakable. But are these the Hexbourne dropouts, or somebody else? Other than that, there's also a source of natural mana on the tree on the roof, and some unknown mana signatures amidst a lot of enchanted/magitek on the topmost floor.
You remind yourself that this doesn't reveal any non-magical traps, if any, exists in the building. Your goal is to get to the roof to look at the other towers for strong mana signatures - but then again, aren't you curious to see what these mana signatures actually are?
