บท 12: Chapter 11: Black Moon village

[Ding!]

[Ayaseh is now even more interested in you...]

[Possible location for settlement has been detected, do you wish to accept?!]

[Y/N]

Before he could respond he heard Lovan's question,

"What will become of my kin?" It was obvious he was worried about this from the beginning, so Alex wanted this his money bag to relax by saying,

"your kin is my kin now" unaware of the toothy grin that was on his face.

'Yes' He thought without hesitation

A huge drop of water fell from the sky in a some what grandiose fashion and sank into earth just few steps in front of him. An invincible wave pushed away everyone one in the vicinity and Ripples of light started to come out from the spot the water dropped, and a formless energy seemed to cover the surrounding 1 square kilometer area. In the next second, all of the trees, grass, and flowers appeared more healthy and neatly arranged, the earth quaked as everything had to make way, revealing flat and smooth ground in the immediate surrounding of the previous establishment.

Buildings started to replace the ones already in use by the Goblins. There was now a thatched cottage seemed to be the [Village Hall] considering it's size. There was another thatched cottage with smoke coming out from behind, might have been where Lovan had been working, might as well have thatched cottage called the [Medicine Shop].

Alex couldn't hide his stupefied expression as he watched the now green themed settlement or should he say village. More so the others who had already began approaching, The goblins were the most shocked as they began going from one thatched house to another while shrieking incredulously.

Then with a flash of light upon the everyone's bodies, They proceeded to level up by one level with the Tattoo of A tiger Appearing boldly on the goblins.

Majority of the Orcs passed out, So Alex figured they were undergoing Evolution. A few goblins too were on the floor so Alex was pleased with this.

With everything going on like this, Alex felt he had to say something before he's bombarded with questions, so he turned to Lovan and spoke with a solemn voice,

"The gods approved of this Duel".

Luckily the water drop fell from the sky, so it won't seem strange.

[Ding!]

[Ayaseh is Amused...]

This notification made Alex freeze for a second before his face turned dark.

'Tch...does she not have something to do? there should be a war going on amongst Gods, why is she still looking at me?!!!...she best not state me as her champion...that'd just make me the Antagonist automatically. but there's not even the option to refuse, Ugh!!.' Another notification disrupted his inner rambling,

[Ding!]

[Please name your village...]

'Black Moon village'

[is this your final choice?]

[Y/N]

'yes'

[Please proceed to the village stats page...]

[Ding!]

Very short and understandable was what Alex thought about this page, but then he noticed the Exp spot next to the basic and couldn't help sinking into deep thought.

'How does the village earn exp?' He finally asked the system as he approached the biggest Thatched house while signalling Lovan to approach.

[Villages gain Experience from the mana in the surrounding over time and when you complete village missions.]

Hearing this, Alex thought 'I see' as he brought up the village stats to confirm.

Village Name: Black moon

Village Area: 1 square kilometer

Village Territory: 33 square kilometers

when he saw that it had increased slightly he couldn't help but wonder if this speed was fast or slow.

[Ding!]

[This speed is above average as there are wasted mana from the mines that are being used to improve the village.]

'So my choice had Been a good one, I have to see the mines now as the system stated wasted mana, I can't help but worry about what this goblins have done.'

Alex Entered the Whitish greenThatched house with Lovan after ordering the goblins to move the cocoons of evolving individuals. It was comical watching a bunch of goblins try to carry one Orc but you can't blame them, after all the bone density of Orcs were nothing to scoff at.

Lovan was looking at the house's body as though to find out the material and what it was made of, he couldn't hide his curiosity. you could hear him muttering things like 'why is it like this?' 'could this have been made of Orcs skin or maybe Goblin'.

At this point, Alex had to stop him as his thoughts were becoming dangerous. the Goblin doesn't seem to understand the concept of color or perhaps it does but doesn't know why a house was green?.

'Gimme a break, me too I want to know...first that scheming old orc, now an overly curious researcher and alchemist.' Although he complained, he hasn't seen anything to make him doubt Dabok's loyalty and from reading the Novel, he understands this Goblin's character.

"I won't bother you too much, I'll let you do what you do and if you need anything or have any questions ask me. if I can help I will." He said to draw the goblin's attention.

Within the House was a Rug made from a magic beast's skin and two wooden seats on both sides and one at the other end of the room. not to far to it's right was a small fireplace that lit up the hall.

The interior had been built with a lot of Lee way for an orc to Freely move about without issues. At the middle of the hall, there were two green pillars that looked like they had been made by a bunch of green bamboos.

the Seat at the end of the room looked more like a Bamboo throne decorated with snow white fur of what seemed like an oversized Wolf, the other four seats were the same but smaller..

Alex headed to the main seat in natural confident strides and sat down, only to be assaulted with a comfy feeling from the fur in a way you won't expect from this kind of chair.

Lovan approached him but remained standing, as he felt he needed to be told to seat. Once again Alex was impressed by the goblin's intelligence.

"You may sit..." He motioned with his left hand towards a chair in that direction.

Snap!{SFX: firewood burning in a fire}

"So tell me, Your story Lovan 'black moon'." Alex said, emphasizing on the Black moon.

Hearing this, Lovan who had been silently inspecting the chair was a bit astonished by the change of name but then he subconsciously traced his hand over the new tiger tattoo and couldn't help having mixed feelings, but what's done is done.

So he began narrating from two weeks ago as he felt Alex wouldn't be interested in his life story. When the goblin was done, Alex was now in deep thought.

First was the, Grole spiders said to be deep within the mines so the goblins had been working on the outskirts and even then, the still lost a few goblins.

This wasn't mentioned in the novel, because when Lovan first appeared was in the war of Cold Valley, and By then the mines were already up and running.

Grole spiders were magical beasts that operated in a matriarchal system, so before they get to the second circle where they gain human forms, their life's were tied to their Queen.

So the First option is to assassinate the Queen but that's out of the question as we don't even know the level of this Queen.

[Ding!]

[Obtained the Mission, 'For the Queen'!]

[Deal with the Grole Queen...]

[Rewards: Depends on your Actions...]
