Bab 22: CHAPTER 22: FIRST DAY
" Aghh "
A lazy moan escaped on the mouth of Calix while the ray of morning sun landed on his face that making him awake.
" Damn, are all previous humans experience this kind of scenery on earth?... I'm pretty envious of them ... It was beyond perfection. "
Calix takes his moment to enjoy this impressive sunrise view and crosses his legs while staring at it intently.
During its rise, the sun's golden rays give a bright color and unique beauty to the clouds that make them more alive.
" A mesmerizing view, perfect to start a day... How unfortunate I didn't have a wine and sunglasses right now to indulge myself fully... nevertheless, I really like this view of the sun, different when I'm in space."
Calix was speaking on himself to appreciate the nature of the sun in this view.
"Sir, do you want some tea?"
Vince noticed that his king was already awake and immediately came by his side to attend what all his needs.
" Oh sure... just make sure it wasn't one of the previous bladder of those standing skeleton their"
Calix pointed out the skeletons standing in their vicinity, acting as a guard for a whole night.
" My liege, this was hibiscus that I gather far away in ruins, so it was fairly safe for you to consume."
"Ughh, that's great,"
Calix leisurely said while stretching his body after standing up,
" by the way, what was hibiscus."
follow up question of Calix after he fully stretches his body while yawning
"My liege, Melissa just told me to gather some of these, and she only said to me that it was beneficial to your health."
awkwardly said by Vince with a timid smile
it was quite amusing that he could put up such kind of expression with a fairly large body
" Oh really? It was lucky for me that she was a lich. She was so flexible in any course... Was it dry? How can you dry it? The sun was just at daybreak. How can you do that? "
Curiously ask Calix with an evident surprise look on his face.
" With this, my liege."
Vince slowly opens his broad palm.
"AHH, I FINALLY GET IT!!"
the sudden outburst of Melisa got the two of them off guard and urgently come to the tree stump where Melissa is sitting for the whole night and studying the visual that Calix made about the bone engine he wants to make
"What happen!!"
Vince hastily gets on high alert and observes the surroundings, ready to pull out his broadsword anytime at his back.
" My lord, Did I wake you up?"
Melisa didn't even look to Vince when he asked a question; instead, she just walked past him and immediately bowed respectfully to Calix.
"Sorry for the sudden..."
"It's okay, and I'm already awake when you scream. So, what happened?"
" I finally fully comprehend the thing you draw, my lord, and based on my limited knowledge, we can make it work, my lord."
" Ohh, really? Can you discuss it with me? "
Calix excitedly said to her while holding Malisa's shoulder.
"Hellow? Are you okay?"
Calix shook her a bit that some of her accessories rattle when he saw that she was just staring at him behind her veil.
"Ahh ... Yes, my lord."
Melisa was momentarily stunned in the sudden changes of Calix from a lazy mannerism to fervent antics.
" We can make it work by connecting the four limbs of the undead beast to the piston of this bone engine, and by adding some gears, we can convert the vertical motion to a rotational force... But.."
" But? "
" Our main problem was the undead beast, my lord. We need strong bones and not an ordinary beast to work continuously without drawbacks."
" What kind of beast do we need? "
" Most likely, we need a full intact bone of a magical beast that walks in four limbs ... The problem, my lord, is. all magical beasts have an amazing regeneration capability, and the only way to hunt them is by breaking their bones to the extent that they can't regenerate anymore."
" In other words, we don't have any choice but to beat them in pulp?"
" That's correct, my lord,"
Melisa disappointedly replied to Calix.
" Then leave it to me when it comes to giving some beatings."
Then Vince proudly steps forward.
" Dumbass, I said we need the bone intact."
Melisa expressed her words with annoyance.
" Is there no other choice besides hunting an unkillable beast? "
Calix asks Melisa and meddles their quarrel before it becomes too severe.
" It was quite complicated, my liege."
Melisa has a troubled expression, whether she would say it because it might disappoint Calix.
" what was it? My ears are all open."
As a scientist, his life revolves around trial and error; if the first try were a failure, he would try again and again until he could achieve what he wants because scientists only need one good result despite having multiple failures to initiate the changes they wanted.
" there's one more option, my liege."
Melisa was still reluctant to speak.
" okay.. okay.. just say it."
" We need to apply mithril to the bones so that they can become conductive and sensitive to mana. Also, you can raise the quality of the bones by applying it."
" so what is the problem about that? "
Calix asks while he crosses his hands on his chest.
".... base on the souls of craftsman and sorcerer that I ask... it was impossible to find mithril here, and you can only stumble some of these to the mining site that already owned by the royal families. "
"... so it was literally impossible to make that now? "
Melisa was sadly looking at Calix because she assumed that it might be pretty disappointing for him not to get what he wants, and as a servant, it was their obligation to take it on their account.
"I see..."
Calix nod and close his eyes seem like contemplating something.
while Calix was thinking of some solution to their problem, a sudden jolt came to Melisa like something was tickling her, and her body shook in excitement
" My liege, there nothing to be worried about... our problem has already been answered."
" what were you talking about this time? "
" A ghost delivered me a message... my liege and the problem about the mithril.... has already been solved, we don't need to worry too much."
"huh ... how? ... when? .... "
" Sebastian has stumbled a great luck during his way on getting some Mellow stone wood, and a kind-hearted magical beast gave it to him."
" What a great opportunity... where he was now? "
The contemplating Calix became vibrant without any second thought when he heard that Sebastian had gotten mithril on his way.
all of them have painted a smile on their face
" Okay, let us go back to work. If Sebastian goes back with the mithril he gets, we can start assembling the machine and speed up all the process."
" yes, my liege, "
Melisa and Vince simultaneously replied, and their mood suddenly turned from gloomy expression by stressing themselves in finding another solution to their problem and become upbeat and optimistic all of a sudden
" Vince, gather any metal that you can and melt them. I will make the mold first while waiting for you here."
"I will take my leave, my liege,"
Vince hastily said and made away towards the ruins to collect the metals they need
"My liege, I will also take my leave and prepare the undead that we need."
" Uhm "
Calix just made an approving nod and started his own work, and they left him with the lesser undead guarding him to do their own tasks.
