'It's already day time?' I looked out the window while opening my eyes, I had woken up at about four hours ago and as usual, practiced the 'Heart Sutra'. This time I felt a difference and I know, it won't be long before I can breakthrough the second stage.
At that point, I would become a true elite. Standing up from my bed, I hissed as the arrow wound stung me once again. last night, Dabok had wrapped it with some herb and cloth, Sadly, it's really itchy... luckily my regeneration isn't half bad, the wound would probably close up in a few days, which was remarkable.
as I looked at the cloak, I decided against putting it on for now because of the wound but I'll definitely use it to cover the wound for Greyeye just in case. With that, I thought about the different scenarios that could play out with Greyeye's visit.
'I need to hear him first to be certain but I'm sure it'll lead to a change on how we are seen in the orc lands'.
'Good thing we've got the Aether now, we'll use the wolves for intimidation' I made calculations as I headed out the Manor but when I got to the Hall, Janetta was there, sleeping.
'no one prepared a place for her to stay? or did she just come here?... Right, she doesn't understand our language yet'.
I continued outside without disturbing her, 'ill think of a way to help her later'.
'Strange' I thought, "How long have you been there?"
"I don't know but I'm sure it felt like days... Quick, come show me, I couldn't sleep all night...do you know what this means?" Dabok excitedly says as he turned towards the Breeding house with quick steps, it was just behind the Manor so I didn't see the need to rush like this.
"having a powerful creature as mount, is a symbol of status in the Orc lands... with the few we had before, it wouldn't mean much but when the numbers become double of the previous numbers we had...then our status has changed" He spoke with excitement and you could almost see roll out of him.
"Any more than that, we can be compared to the Blood horn clan, located on white mountain" He laughed out loud and his voice got louder at the end.
"..." I wanted to say something but He cut me off, "Come, quickly".
'Who are you?' I thought in complaint, 'we are already at the entrance and you still want to hurry?'.
We stepped into the Familiar dimly lit Warehouse and even I felt a slight rush of excitement, the hunters had been hunting down wolves for a long time now so we had enough bones to make about 40+ wolves more.
And one wolves needed only 1ml of Aether to be bred, meanwhile, we have been able to steal 7 litres of Aether, that's 7000 wolves...
Thinking of that, I couldn't help laughing, too bad the bones might not be able to keep up.
After all, We'll need to give them time to upgrade to the first circle.
'Do I have to rear them?' while thinking, I quickly brought up the UI for the Breeding house to confirm.
[Ghost wolf: 1ml of Aether, 1st level of Evolution rank bones numbering the number of wolves needed]
Before I began the process, I decided to experiment and see if I could clone myself...
[Invalid...]
'as expected' I thought sadly before trying Dabok.
[Invalid... please upgrade the Breeding house first] This time the system added an explanation but 'does that mean it's possible to clone me?'.
No response...
Shaking my head, I placed the item needed for the cloning on the ground. Luckily, the Breeding house had recorded all the data on Alpha, so I didn't have to bring him over.
The items on the ground were enveloped by blue light and soon disappeared. Dabok had an incredulous expression since the moment I brought everything out from my inventory, perhaps he was too shocked to ask or something else.
"Dabok, we shall return in four days...the Goddess has accepted our offer" I finally spoke to the old Orc.
"o... okay"
Shortly after, we stepped out of the Breeding house. He stood there in a daze as he alternated looking between me and the Breeding house.
Shaking my head with a laugh, I turned to leave only for me to hear people exclaim. I turned towards the training ground and found Urim with a make shift bow.
"My Chief" Urim saluted with a grin, He passes me the bow and I looked at it, it was crudely made with wood and animal tendons but the maker obviously had the right idea.
"Who made this?"The fool proudly beat his c.h.e.s.t with an expression that had the words 'praise me' written all over it.
I can't blame him though, he saw the bow from a distance and he did what he could with the little knowledge he had, he's a genius.
"Good good good" I said while patting his shoulder, I had to praise his effort at least, he obviously recognizes its strategic use.
"But you made mistakes..."I quickly explained a few things from what I could remember, "Keep trying when you are free until you get it".
"S..sure" He said absentmindedly, as he rotated the bow severally to pick up on the things I mentioned.
I looked around at the observing crowd and couldn't help laughing, then I spotted the Halfling girls and beckoned them over.
""My Chief"''
"I have something for you... Have you thought of your reward?" I asked with a slight nod.
"No..."Largash says and I could only nod, 'perhaps it's a problem of limited imagination' I thought with a laugh before bringing out the cross bow.
I took a bolt and loaded it in, before aiming at the wooden dummy I had them make. With a loud thud, it struck the wood... I won't say I was a good aim but at least it touched the dummy.
I coughed lightly before handing over everything to Largash, "Here take it as your reward...I'll think of something for your sister".
"Thank you" She said in a daze as she admired her new weapon.
"As you practice with it, Find Lovan, to see if he can make something like that as well".
"..." She nodded silently before returning to look at the crossbow again, her sister rolled her eyes while shaking her head.
I found their actions funny but I have to go continue practicing the 'heart Sutra' while waiting for Greyeye.
_______________
The moment I opened the Manor door, a threatening screech came from within as a figure flashed from the chair to the ceiling.
I was speechless, My action must have scared the spider. A laugh escaped my lips as I continued walking to the throne.
She quietly came down with a web while wearing an embarrassed expression, I chose not to say anything about what just happened and closed my eyes to cultivate.
Unfortunately, the scene replayed in my head and I thought about the kind of expression she'd have when doing all that and I laughed out loud.
The poor lass could only snort angrily on her chair, this made me laugh further while wiping an imaginary tear.
