Bab 26: King Of The Sewer
Showing up out of thin air as the bending effect he enacted upon the surroundings faded away, Faceless Lord 'looked' around, making the wretch raise an eyebrow, this guy was behaving as if he actually had eyes on his face.
"What is the matter buddy? Got something on your mind?" the odd agreeableness coming from Axiolypito made the other minister look around a bit more, making sure he was in the right place before responding.
'I see that you managed to find the goblins, I must admit, I didn't expect you to chose a pacifist approach about it' he said honestly.
The wretch simply waved his hands and head around with such floppiness that it seemed he lacked a few bones with a smile on his face.
"I guess I was just in a good mood today and anyways, isn't it great to have monsters down there already? Goblins reproduce quickly, under my direction, they will flood into the city above like the city above flood the sewers with shit" he began pacing back and forth.
The goblin hereby named 'Asshole', had retreated into a corner when Faceless had warped in here but now, he was more weirded out by the suspiciously nice attitude the wretch had, it was just that much more uncanny than the Fifth Minister.
Was the purple crystal that valuable to him? The goblins had always had some form of reverence for it for some reason they couldn't pinpoint but being a slight bit self-aware, they didn't think anyone but them, sewer crawlers, would find worth to it.
"Paired with my abilities and the time I've got before actually getting to whatever the obsidian woman wants, this 'greatest city' or whatever will be mine before long" he said, making aggressive quotation marks with his fingers when saying 'greatest city'.
'Yours? forget that, it doesn't matter, you can ask for it from the Queen if you wants, I just wanted to check up on you situation, I will begin the killing of crops and nature outside soon, I'll visit every once in a while, let me know when you want to begin the invasion, I'll unleash my domain then' concisely spoke Faceless.
"Your domain huh? So you aren't just the guy moving people around that just happens to make plants die?" the wretch let one needle claw fall and began inspecting it with interest for no particular reason.
'The domain is the second part of the plant killing-'
"By the way, what is up with the surroundings when you warp around?" the wretch cut him off.
'Nothing happens to the surroundings, it is purely visual-'
"By the way, if you could warp there to begin with, why take me so far away from the goblins?" for some reason, Axio was really focused on his claw as he spoke, making the other minister also focus on it.
'I can only warp to places I have been, that I can see or to the ministers and Queen, she has put a mark on each of us and thanks to her, my ability is linked up to those marks, allowing me to warp to any of the ministers at any time' explained Faceless Lord to the wretch, as he tried biting into the needle claw.
'May I ask what is it that you plan to do exactly? I am fairly confident the city will be hyperfocusing on me and the whitering of crops, so you are in no hurry from that point'
The wretch took a look at the needle claw again before turning to the tall monster.
"It's simple, Asshole! Come over here" he called the goblin, who timidly dragged his feet closer against his own wishes, he had no clue who or what those two were and he felt like dropping dead at the moment.
"With the goblins at my disposal, taking over the city will only be a formality, you can trust me on this, I will requisition some of the goblin females and using the offsprings, I will grow the numbers even faster" he responded, not elaborating on other things he was planning to do.
After discovering that he could gain new abilities even without evolving like before and simply by gaining XP, experiencing some form of small evolution, he would use the cattle that he would produce to gain some of it and also to experiment with an ability he had littled understanding of.
Offspring manipulation sounded clear and direct but the fact that unlike the rest, its usage didn't flow directly into his brain made it a bit mysterious, making him feel like there were some things to be discovered about it.
In the best of cases, he would manage to squeeze out enough XP to at least gain one new types of spawners, for now, he only had a small medium version, which could only spawn basic creatures, animals and insects without any magical abilities or system skills.
Those were just basic beasts, not even monsters but it didn't matter much, if things followed the same order they had before, he should attain the ability to create spawners for much larger animals.
"Say, Faceless, do you think you could grant a little wish of mine?" the wretch climbed onto the taller monster and wrapped one arm around his neck.
'I see no problems helping a fellow servant of our Queen, what do you want?' he responded, turning his empty face to the wretch's.
"Do you think you could bring corpses of whatever you found down there? It is important for one of my abilities" he asked as he grabbed the top of Faceless's head.
'That should be of no issue, warping does not tire me in any way after all, I can make as many back and forths as necessary' the Wretched Lord was happy that he was getting what he wanted so easily but hearing that Faceless could teleport at will and could do so without any cost made him twist his face in an ugly fashion.
Turning his mind elsewhere, Axio looked at the goblin chief from his vantage point and ordered him.
"Asshole! Bring me your finest female breeders, also, do you have a throne room or something?"
The goblin saluted him and ran off, taking this occasion to go away immediately.
