Torug's POV,
I stayed silent within the Manor while practicing the Heart Sutra. Janetta had left for somewhere out of embarrassment and luckily no one came to disturb me.
Unfortunately, when there was no improvement on the Cultivation of heart Sutra, I knew I was done for today's practice.
'now what?' I suddenly asked myself, I couldn't help but think about the many things that would be happening all over Luegad.
Two major event that happened at the beginning of the Novel, have already been seen. First was the Battle of Gods, but in actuality, it was more of skirmish. this allowed Entrance of foreign souls into the world without being noticed by the Gods.
But that brings the question, 'how did I enter this world without attracting their attention?'.
Then the second major event was the blood rain and the city of broken mirrors. The death of a neutral God during the truce would be a serious problem, which is why I know that, despite how Ayaseh acts like she's carefree, she and her alliance must be having a hard time.
Now there's also the issue of what Moz had seen in her 'shadow world', someone was siphoning the power of a legendary creature and if I am to make a conjecture, it most be related to the monster lying at the bottom of Blackmoon lake.
'would this affect my plans in any way?, obviously this wasn't mentioned in the book because the author was unaware of such events', with this line of thought, I gently stroked my beards while staring at the now dying fire at the fireplace.
[Ding!]
[(Brogg) Branding completion has reached 25%
- you can now passively suggest ideas to the target.
A notification that brought me both happiness and confusion at the same time, came up.
I read the sentence carefully, I can take possession?, although it's for short time, it's still incredible.
My imagination began to run wild as I stood up from my throne, 'no let's try it from here and see...'
I focused on the Branding skill, and a faint green orb appeared in front of me, I stretched my hands and held it in my palm.
It looked illusionary but I could feel it in my palm, this should be Brogg's soul. With this in my hands, I felt I could kill him if I wanted but I couldn't for now, since the Branding wasn't complete...that would change over time though.
What was interesting was that, holding this, I could see his situation and it gave me a sense of deja Vu, like I was playing a video game...
I watched the Hobgoblin look around in confusion and began to struggle with the bindings he had on.
'This is perfect, with this I could spy on the Greyeye clan and to top it off, I don't have to be bored anymore... what happens when the Branding completes 100%?, how long will possession last then?' While having such thoughts, I couldn't help trying out the possession.
Soon, the feeling of ants crawling over my brain came and almost immediately, I was watching the back of the Manor.
I quickly released my control over him and found that I was back in the hall. The timer on my UI shows [2 minutes 39 seconds remaining].
'This is wonderful, it's not wasted immediately after use, then does it reset?' once again, I took control of Brogg once again and decided to wait till the timer finished.
Luckily I could look at the system interface from his body as well, which meant, my initial thought was correct, the system is bound to my soul.
When the time was up, I found out that I was already on the Throne, I looked at the UI and saw a new line...
[Cool down time: 1 hours 59 minutes]
'Is this good or bad?' I wondered, added with all that, I found that I can actually slow down or stop the degree at which my Abysmal mana was spreading.
'If so, why can't I accelerate it?' I tapped the arms of the throne with my index finger, 'could it be the level or proficiency?'.
"Moz" I suddenly called out to the shadow Orc, hidden behind the Throne.
"My Chief!" She says in a low voice.
"Take Brogg back to the Greyeye clan borders, that should keep em busy for a while. when you get not too far from the tribe, ask him about what happened to him, if he remembers, bring him back...if he says something else, continue your journey. also, stay away from the white mountain route, so that you don't bump into Greyeye." I say, She nodded with a determined expression before leaving, I couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking.
Earlier, I had used the passive portion of the Branding skill to make Brogg believe that he had been taken by the Blood horn clan but managed to escape, I only hope it works.
After She left I observed Shev's situation before turning back into the Manor, the guy was only burning up but wasn't in danger... perhaps it's part of the process, I couldn't tell as I didn't observe Brogg very well.
My plan is to have Shev stay here till he enters a 100% on the Branding skill. he'll be my eyes and ears in Thann's end, while observing Cail for me, I won't waste the last space from branding on him.
Once I was done, I went in search of Dabok to discuss expanding the walls, there's too much space from the North, west and south.
Blackmoon lake lay at the East and I really don't want to wake the beast yet, until I find the cursed object at...
"My Chief!" a HobGoblin guarding the Temple saluted, Dabok decided to build a house next to the temple and moved in, the Hobgoblin take turns guarding it. I honestly didn't see the use for that but who am I to burst the old man's bubble.
"Come, I think it's time to expand the wall" I said and the old Orc nodded seriously, " yes, especially with the amount of new borns in the village, soon this space won't be enough".
Hearing his words I was shocked and quickly brought up the territory interface.
[Ding!]
Level: Intermediate Lv1 (15000/15000)
Town Area: 4 square kilometre
Town Territory: 61 square kilometres
Residents: 988/1000 (A/N: minimum population requirement for Lv intermediate Lv2= 1500)
Soldiers: 367/300
Guards: 21/50
Sub territory: Basic Lv 1(Mura village), Govan (Damaged)
Landmarks: Black Moon lake, Cold Valley, Laboni region(23%).
Existing structures: Lord's Manor, Village wall, Wooden Residential buildings x56, Smithy, Basic Logging(Fair), Farmland(78%), Advanced Mining Field(92%), Barracks (complete), Training Field (complete), Town Hall (complete) Breeding house (complete).
I noticed back then, that majority of the women we brought back were pregnant but I must have somehow forgotten about it. now we're talking about an increase of almost 300 in the population and I'm sure not all of them have delivered yet but this just reminds me of how this creatures tend to breed.
'Where are the children then? wait, most would still be weak at this point, so not seeing them running around is understandable, but this just means we have an even greater reason to expand!...who knows what will happen after two months!' I made more plans as I nodded to Dabok's words.
Suddenly, Alpha could be seen approaching as he circled around me twice before bringing it's face closer, I could only smile wryly while running my hands under it's Jaws playfully.
"My Chief!!" Haji's running figure appeared in my line of sight.
"My Chief!, there are Orcs riders approaching the gate...Twe...Twe.. Twenty of them" He finally managed to say, both me and Dabok looked at each other for a second before heading towards the gates.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
