Chapter 22 - The Dungeon Lord's time problem

Exiting the tower, I looked around searching for Ruyk and found nothing but brown fields of earth and roads made of stones.

"Where did he go??"

Fortunately, it didn't take long for me to hear Ruyk screams again.

"Master! Heeeelp!"

Following the source of the sound, I advanced through the empty fields until I found a big hole.

"Down here! Master! Help!"

Sure enough, Ruyk was inside the hole.... sigh...

"...What happened?"

"Ruyk was following Master's command, digging hole to bury the seeds. Ruyk wanted Master's praise, so Ruyk worked really really hard! But now that the hole has been dug...Ruyk can't get out..." T_T

Sigh...where do I start?

"First, I don't want you to bury the seeds, I wanted you to plant them."

"Second, to plant the seeds, you just need a small hole, if you bury it too deep it will have the opposite effect."

"Third, if you didn't understand what you should do, you should have asked me for clarification."

"Got it?"

Ruyk lowered his head in shame and regret.

"Hmm, Ruyk understood..."

"Good, now give me your hand."

Leaning down in front of the hole, I reached out my hand to Ruyk, who grabbed it as if afraid I would change my mind. Then, in a single move, I pulled him out while taking a step back.

"Ok, now that you are out, clean up your mess. I want to see this hole filled by the time I'm back."

After nodding repetitively, Ruyk started to work.

"Oh, yeah, where are the seeds?"

Ruyk jumped surprise as I asked him. Trembling, Ruyk looked right, looked left, as a guilty child trying to find a place to hide himself, but noticing he couldn't run away, he gave up and slowly pointed toward the hole he was trapped just now.

I looked down again and saw the seeds all spread inside the hole.

Damn...this makes me want to kick someone...

I look on my side. Found someone!

Silently, I approached behind the goblin with a smile and kicked him back into the hole.

Ahhh, I feel much better now. ;)

But I still keep the angry face and scream at him:

"Collect all seeds you have thrown in there! If by the time you finish there are not 50 seeds in the bag, I will not help you out no matter how much you cry!"

"Master! Sorry! Ruyk was wrong! Master! Forgive Ruyk!"

"Shut up! The faster you collect those seeds, the faster you will get out of this hole, now start working!"

Slowly, Ruyk starts working under my angry glare.

...

About 5 minutes later...

"Good! Next time think twice before doing something!"

With the bag of seeds in hand, I went to the end of the field and started planting them clockwise, one step distance between each of them. After I buried each seed, Blue would float above it and conjure some water. It didn't take long before the job was done. All fifty seeds correctly planted.

"Good job, Blue!"

I looked toward the middle of the field and saw Ruyk finishing filling the hole.

Good, that's finished as well, now what should we do? Hmm...

Now that I think about it, I got a lot of free time as I wait the next Miasma conversion reach 10000u. Even if I start taking care of this garden takes some time, I will still have a lot of time left...

Talking about time, I should find a way to tell the time...Let's try summoning a clock!

"Summon! Clock!"

[No results found.]

What? Not found? That means I can't? T_T

What If I ask a hourglass?

"Summon! Hourglass!"

[No results found.]

T_T

Hmm...What if I make one myself?

But I got no glass...I don't know how to make glass either...

Damn...What to do now...

Whatever! If the problem has no solution, solved the problem is!

Now that I think about it, I found a grimoire in the Orange area. Let's take this time to read it and see if I can learn some magic tricks. Who knows, maybe a new answer will appear?
