A day and a half went like the wind,
Alex sat by the lakeside, staring into the lake that seemed like an endless Abyss. The sound of construction could still be heard from the village as the Goblins became more adept in the craft. The hunting parties were still going at it, they hunted meat to store in the store house since there won't be any chance to do so once the start their battles.
crr... crr...crr...
The sound of footsteps moving across the Stony river bank came from behind, it seemed light but steady so Alex didn't bother to look back to know it was the shadow Orc, the Goblins were too disorderly to act like that.
As soon as she stood a step behind him, she saluted "My Chief".
He turned to her slightly and nodded in response before getting up to his feet, He didn't have the cloak on today and was just topless with the Black battle skirt. The skulls used to adorn his belt were in full display, alongside the fang necklace from the system which matched with the earring in an odd way.
He turned to Moz who seemed to be more interested in his sigils than his face. Her short black hair were now braided at the sides making her gaze seem sharper, the Dark brown pools looked from left to right without any remorse as this was normal between Orcs. If it were some Chiefs, they'd flex their muscles and offer their children or to make her a sow.
Alex had no problem with her actions but he said, "have this..." while he stretched out his hands.
On his palm lay the other piece of the , Moz looked at the item before looking at his face and then looked at the item once more. She repeated this action twice before taking it off his hand silently. On both ears, she had an earring that seemed to have been made from the spine of a small animal, it covered the edges of her ears, leaving only the ear lobe free. Now she added the Eye of Cafo, by placing it on her left earlobe before cleaning the tiny trace of blood.
She didn't ask any questions, so Alex had no idea what she was thinking, but when she looked at him, her eyes always lingered at his own earring.
Alex wasn't bothered by all this and chose to continue speaking as he gazed at the lake, "Always keep it with you, make sure you don't lose it"
Moz Nodded seriously to show she understood, She wanted to ask something but Alex's voice cut off her train of thought, "No need to think too much Moz, Always try to be like this lake."
Feeling that she'd understand him, he didn't elaborate and Moz on the other hand didn't ask before leaving, She kept looking back at the lake from time to time.
Not long after she left, Dabok and Urim came, they had a funny look on their faces.
"Brother... You..." Urim spoke first but didn't know how to express what he was feeling but Dabok came to the rescue, "Is she the one you chose at the end?"
"No, I have not chosen anyone" Alex answered with a shake of his head, This two seemed to be more into this topic this days, Dabok believes that He should have an heir in case something like that Alger't situation, As always Urim supported the reasoning. After all most Chiefs would have done so by now with several women and even human slaves.
"But I'll choose soon, After War." He added in the end, after all the matter won't rest until he picks one person.
"Hahahahaha!!!" Urim broke into raucous laughter but shut up at Alex's next words.
"Urim, you choose too" Urim only shrugged with a 'it can't be helped' expression, making Alex gawk at the Orc. 'I say, aren't you too human-like? who teaches you these expressions!!'.
Dabok touched his chin in amus.e.m.e.nt and then frowned, His hair and beard didn't increase after his second evolution like the others, Alex had felt that was probably because most of his evolution was actually used to make the body somewhat younger, In fact his old Beard was gone.
When they all calmed down, Alex said "follow me" before heading towards the Breeding house. The system notification just came in, announcing the completion of a successful breeding.
It didn't take long to enter the Dark breeding house, but a second later, the lights mysteriously appeared, shocking Dabok and Urim.
But what was even more shocking was,
"BROTHER!!" Urim growled while rushing to stand in front of Alex, His greatsword had long been unsheathed. A dark glowing light could be seen on Dabok's finger tips as he cautiously gazed at what laid before him.
Alex nodded at their actions, this showed that they were always on Alert despite the goofy atmosphere from earlier, but that didn't stop Alex from what he did next.
Pak! He smacked the back of Urim's head casually, even though he was a head taller than him.
"Relax" He said while walking out from behind Urim, Then the Wolves were on full display. When the Alpha Ghost wolf saw Alex, it immediately rushed towards him with wagging tails but Alex stopped it when it was 4m away from him.
"Old Dabok, this are My Black moon village's Wolv...." Alex explained, while he spoke the Ghost wolf already got closer to him and licked his side, making him stop his speech.
Eyeing the Creature, Dabok's voice could be heard from behind, "But...How!!" He approached Alex with quick stride but the wolf growled threateningly.
"Hey, they are my people, your people" He warned, the Wolf seemed to understand and stared blankly for a second before circling around Dabok and Urim once.
When done, it returned to Alex's side.
Alex then faced Dabok saying, "They're a gift for the Goddess, but we have to sacrifice something to get something."
"What did you sacrifice to get them" Dabok asked immediately, shocked evident in his eyes. In all his years, He hasn't seen something like this and he could clearly feel how strong this animals were.
Alex was tongue tied for a second before choosing to breed more wolves and see what the system would request.
[Alpha Ghost wolf: 1ml of Aether, 1st level of Evolution rank bones numbering the number of wolves needed]
The moment he saw the requirement he couldn't help frowning, the bone part is easy as that matter would be solved with the more land he conquers but the Aether would be a problem for now. Aether is pretty much liquified mana, that would appear at the later stages of the Novel, it's a kind of power source processed from Mana stones. Alex remembers the process but right now his mine is indisposed till he's able to get more warriors.
'So war first before anything' Alex grimaced, He was thinking he could add more wolves and breeze through the war but he's stuck with this number first.
