Chapitre 8: Rewards
It's official. Male (b)itches like him and lady (b)itches like that administrator will never get along with each other!
Luis has a fair share of girlfriends and acquaintances (like a friend who is a female) but he never met such a condescending and severely irritating bitch.
Luis stared at the poor pillow on the wall. 'Just when did he throw that pillow?' he asked himself as a distraction.
"But who the hell is that woman? Why am Iso irritated when he heard that mocking tone?" The distraction failed.
Luis took two deep breaths. He needed to calm down before anything else.
"Karens like her is damned to be alone anyways so there's no need to stress myself about that hag."
There was a stone round table and chair overlooking the window of his bedroom. He sat there and then stared at the other side of the window. The thing with the temple is that they are lacking on doors and windows that can be closed. But the curtains are visibly a lot that it can be seen every meter of the wall that has a window. Every breath of the wind and the cloth will flutter like a butterfly.
"Thank goodness I have this beautiful surrounding. This really calms me down."
This setup made it easier to admire the natural beauty of the surroundings.
His bedroom was facing the north of the plateau from this window he can see well-curated flowering shrubs dancing in the hush of the wind. The air is cool to the touch since they are at a higher altitude. Grey feathered birds with a short lone horn in its temple would sometimes fly near the plateau, yelling a loud shrill voice. This seems to be a kind of falcon.
Just behind that are the sea of clouds and faint shadows of forests that can be seen by the naked eye.
"How many changes will happen once that time comes? Will it stay like this?" Probably not. Luis had seen how the environment changes during the apocalypse and it's not a pretty sight.
Luis is not sure if he will like or hate the system for telling him ahead of time.
Upon checking once again, he saw that there is a reward floating in the system interface.
Luis ignored the festive congratulations on the top and just clicked on the rewards without any fluctuations on his face.
The first reward that popped up was fifty system points and the other is ten EXP.
Just that much for watching a tutorial video.
"How cheap!"
He looked at the unlocked skills and the almost empty EXP bar.
Well, one hundred system points and ninety EXP points to go.
He really needs to do quests if he wants to move forward.
Just when he exit the rewards a new system-generated pop-up came up.
"A message from the system administrator," Luis read with distaste. The words that followed immediately made his face black.
"Erratum. In addition to the initial information provided in the tutorial, I would like to inform the user, the moon elf lord of additional information about the details of pre-canon quests. Pre-canon quests can only appear once the user has triggered a certain event or variable. The administrator encourages the HIGH AND MIGHTY moon elf lord to WORK HARD on looking for quests. The administrator is expressing her sincere apologies for ACCIDENTALLY omitting such important details. So here is a limited-use skill card as compensation for the inconvenience."
Luis begrudgingly looked at the shiny silver-coloured skill card then he became silent for a full minute.
'Morning Wood Skill- silver tier.
Effect- Can harden wood depending on the amount of nature's energy applied.
Condition- skin contact should be applied before casting
Number of use- unlimited within two months.
Luis' already arched brows cannot help but twitch.
'What is wrong with this dirty skill name? Is this how they personalize the skills? But most importantly. What kind of tra- I mean isn't this a knockoff version of his wood power? Is this a kind of property manipulation skill?'
Originally, he can harden, soften, and even change poisonous plants into something edible with his wood powers. Depending on the energy he applied and the depth of understanding of the plant. He can change its property like programming a computer as he wants to.
This is the reason why he can make the mutated crops into something edible during the apocalypse. It is the skill he is most proud of.
And then it was reduced into something like wood hardening?
The hatchets that he buries is adding up in a very short time. What should I do with this, lady admin?
A knock sounded.
"Pardon the intrusion, my Lord," it was Olyn the main servant that attends to his needs.
"Oh, how did you know that I am awake"
"I heard a loud noise coming from your room, my lord," Luis felt guilty when Olyn's eyes lingered on the crack in the wall.
"It was my bad, sorry about that,"
"It's alright, my lord." said the bearer with clear eyes. His image is different from that fragile crying man who was asking to be killed just yesterday. "Would you like me to fix that wall now?"
"Yes sure," said Luis. "Don't you need someone to assist you?"
"I can manage, my Lo-" As if he realized something he suddenly become stiff. "No, I didn't mean to refuse you, my Lord. I can really do it by myself. Besides, how can a lowly servant ask you to help me do a such dirty and simple task-"
Luis raised his hands and Olyn's stream of nervous rants disappeared.
"It's okay, You can do it on your own, don't mind me," Luis said in conclusion. Olyn is a faithful and diligent subordinate. However, he is too conscious of the moon elf lord's opinions. Luis found that this is also the case for others. Regardless of whether it was Legland or Nicol. They put their lord's likes and dislikes on a pedestal That is what Luis' thought.
After receiving the go signal, Olyn took action. It was just now that Luis noticed that the servant is holding something baggage that is covered with a piece of cloth and a tall wine jar. The newborn moon elf lord watched with curiosity in his eyes.
The innocent bearer went to the gaping hole in the wall and was about to start his work when he felt the prickling stares at his nape.
"My Lord?"
Luis realized that he is making Olyn uncomfortable but he didn't want to kill his interest.
"I'll just be watching you out of curiosity. Don't mind me."
Olyn nodded respectfully and minded his present task. The walls of the temples are almost arm thick. It was done so it can withstand the weight of the heavy stone roof. So the pillow did not break through the other side. Instead, it was impaled deep inside the wall. reached the inside the hole, and fished out the poor pillow. Luis didn't expect that it will be impaled almost ten inches inside the walls.
He loosen the cloth and it revealed four round chunks of moonstone. Each piece of this marble-like stone is at least fourteen inches in diameter. Luis can't help but look at the bulge-less arms of the servant. That pack should be heavy and yet...
Moon elves are strong and mighty.
Even bearers who are basically like females can actually lift weights!
Olyn who was silently admired by the moon elf lord used his power to crush the moonstone into gravel and placed it back into the cloth. He then opened the big wine jar that is made of fired pottery, uncorked it and finally poured its contents on the crushed moonstone. The water looks a bit cloudy so Luis is not sure what it is. He held back his questions for later and watched the bearer as he toss and mix the moonstones with the solution.
Olyn is an earth power moon elf so he easily controlled the moonstones. Once it became evenly sticky, he then carefully used it to fill the hole. Good thing the pillow is just small or else the mixture will not be sufficient.
Olyn was skilled so he finished it in no time. After making sure that the surface of the wall is smooth and even. He stood up and was about to say goodbye when Luis spoke first.
"Olyn, I have some questions would you like to have a seat? I am interested to hear some suggestions coming from you."
The servant opened his mouth to speak, only to close it again and respectfully nodded as in agreement.
"I am curious, what kind of adhesive did you use to reseal the hole."
Olyn didn't expect that the question is actually that simple.
"That, my lord, is a binding mixture that is used in repairing the walls of the temple. It binds the crushed moonstone while making sure that the nature's energy will still flow within the wall. Once it hardens it has a smooth and glossy feeling and aside from that it is colourless so it does not block the moonlight. I heard it is made of flared sand from Qijin volcano, moonstone powder and a weird kind of gem that grows on trees from Good Pine plains." Olyn diligently explained. "It is made by the alchemists of the temple so I am not sure how the production process goes."
Luis looks lost right now. He asked a such question as an opening for a pep talk. He did not expect that he will be slapped with a series of facts and trivia.
"Oh wow, guess we are blessed with talented alchemists then."
"Of course, my lord. Aside from pills and potions that concern our health, they are also researching on other things that can make our life easier." His voice is full of pride.
"Yes, I will make sure to take care of those alchemists in the future. Anyway Olyn, may I know what you really think of me?" Luis asked.
He is living in this world for a few days. He wants to know what the expectations he will bear as the moon elf lord as early as now.
"That is..." Olyn suddenly became uncomfortable. He didn't expect that the lord will ask him his opinions. The status of the moon elf lord is way beyond what they can reach. How dare he have other thoughts aside from subservience?
"I want an honest answer, Olyn. I won't hurt you no matter what you would answer." Luis gave him an encouraging looking.
"The moon elf lord is naturally the most powerful and the wisest existence for us my lord. We grew up listening to epic stories of the previous moon elf lords and I think such feats will be seen in the future or even greater than that."
So Olyn thinks that he is capable. Now that is a relief. But isn't this solely based on the accomplishments of previous lord?
"Then me as an individual. What are your thoughts?" this time, Luis asked a more specific question.
Olyn blushed at that.
Hey, wait why are you blushing? We are both bearers aren't we bumping numbers?!
"That... My lord is very different from the other lords." Olyn then nervously added. "What I mean is you are bubbly and playful. You don't make a fuss and would politely ask us for things. I personally think that you are approachable and kind. Very forgiving. And you usually say some jokes to us that we sometimes don't understand. What I mean is...my lord. That... I am sorry for speaking too much."
Luis sat there not knowing when his smile became stiff.
"Do I look scary?" Olyn frantically shakes his head.
"No! You are absolutely beautiful my lord."
Luis who was called beautiful by someone else for the first time gave a very saintly smile. "Am I? Do the others think so too?"
Olyn nodded eagerly. "Yes, my lord! You are the most beautiful bearer that they have ever seen. They are looking forward to when you grow up."
"Grow up? I see," the moon elves see him as a kid. Well, he indeed looks like a fifteen-year-old pubescent boy. Guess hookups will not happen any time soon. "Thank you for being honest, Olyn. Don't be afraid of being truthful to me. I won't hate you for that but instead, it makes me feel closer towards you."
"Anyway, I'll be taking a bath please inform Legland and Nicol once I am done so that we can have our discussion once they have free time."
"Will you be using the bathtub, my lord?"
"Is it done?" Olyn said yes. "Wow, that was fast! Great job!" Luis paused for a moment thinking about what to reward the artisans who worked on his bathtub. However, he just realized that he cannot use his space powers and aside from his title as the moon elf lord he is broke.
He cleared his throat, "I will personally thank them in the future."
"Serving you is already the best reward that we can ever receive, my Lord." Olyn humbly uttered.
"No, serving this lord is not a thankless job. A proper reward should be given. I won't badly treat my people. You should remember that."
Olyn imprinted the current image of the lord in his mind. This is the lord that he will serve with his life.
