Over the past few days, the denizens of Parachenko Village experienced a change in two things.
The first being the change in mindset of many mortals and Fae Masters, with regards to the importance of martial arts, weaponry and the production and usage of Fae.
Seeing the strength of those spirit beasts, who could quite easily defeat a Fae Master of the same Rank with their bodies alone, showed the importance of physical strength and increasing base physical attributes.
Certain rumours of a type of fruit that could enhance the physical attributes of Fae Masters penetrated its ways into the minds and hearts of those Fae Masters within Parachenko Village, as a desire to grow stronger burst forth from deep within them.
'If only I was just a little bit stronger, then perhaps I would've been able to....', was the prevailing thought in the minds of many.
The second major change, was the amount of wealth that every household possessed currently.
All those who survived found that the majority of properties and buildings had become nothing more than rubble, meaning that they no longer had a place to eat, sleep or take shelter from the wind and rain.
A mass demand of wood, bricks and glass had increased the popularity and need for mortal means of production, allowing those who were familiar in the trade to expand their businesses many times over.
The deaths of so many people had caused a huge gap in the real estate within Parachenko Village.
While the land could only belong to a member of the Kovacs Clan, building a house or a shop was still possible for those who didn't possess the name "Kovacs".
With so many dead, there was a large swabs of land available for purchase, although, the new rivers than ran through the Village made it somewhat difficult to build as many houses and buildings as before.
Arthur slammed the last foundation post into the depths of a relatively slow moving river, wiping his brow as he turned to the group of mortals who seemed shocked at his strength and physique.
Despite the river itself not flowing particularly fast, it was still more than thirty metres deep. Only those trees from deep within the Winter Rain Mountain would be able to be cut that high, and that wasn't even taking into account how the foundations much support the house itself....
Arthur waved them off before pointing to a schematic on a nearby table.
"I'd like it to be built just like that. If you have any questions, just come and ask me whenever you see me".
Arthur had spent the better part of two days building the foundations for this house of his.
He had seen such a structure and design in Ocean Heaven before and revamped it to build the structure out of wood, rather than coral.
The river itself was relatively wide, so usually, building a house on top of it would be close to impossible.
The depths of the river made it extremely hard for someone to build foundations for it as well.
The house itself featured a water wheel, and a large windmill which powered a series of items within the interior of the house.
It did seem overtly complicated, especially for a small Village like Parachenko Village, but after Arthur gave this builder and his crew the schematics for both for free, they were more than willing to work on Arthur's house.
It meant that they could use the design of Arthur's house to build similar ones all across the Village. It would allow their potential business to expand, if they could build houses in places where others could not.
Taking a towel and wiping his upper body down, Arthur felt the origin essence within him surge slightly, as if a flowing river during a storm. The liquid quartz origin essence flowed smoothly and calmly all throughout Arthur's body, in much greater quantity and quality than before.
The liquid quartz origin essence glistened with a multi-coloured radiance, resembling a substance closer to water rather than quartz.
It was so transparent, it was almost a liquid gem.
'The power of one of the Thirty Three Sovereign Boundary Physiques is incredible', Arthur thought.
He knew the origin essence regeneration exceeded peak first-tier talents, but in combination with his other Fae he felt as though he could cultivate endlessly!
Within the span of nine days, he had gone from vapour quartz origin essence, to liquid quartz origin essence. He estimated it would take roughly twenty days to reach solid quartz origin essence, just over two weeks from now.
Arthur had already scouted areas all over the Clan, trying his best to remember what Fae appear where, and when and noticed this particular location.
Not only was it over a river that Arthur was extremely familiar with, but it was also the site of where multiple Fae would form.
Blood Attributed Fae. Bone Attributed Fae. Emotion Attributed Fae. Desire Attributed Fae. Flesh Attributed Fae. Strength Attributed Fae. Water Attributed Fae. And Transformation Attributed Fae.
These eight Attributes of Fae were the new Fae that would appear within Parachenko Village.
Blood Attribute and Bone Attribute were the most common. Followed by Water Attributed and Emotion Attributed....
Arthur knew that the Clan had already found a Rank 3 Bone Development Fae, which was similar to the Vein Limit Fae in that it increased the amount of origin essence that could be held within the body.
It didn't increase origin essence regeneration, but added 30% to the existing amount of origin essence that a Fae Master could handle.
If Arthur were to take it, his maximum origin essence sea would increase from 300% to 330%.
His origin essence regeneration wouldn't increase, only the maximum.
And for Bone Attributed Fae, the increase was always to the Body Origin Essence Sea.
Arthur knew of several such Fae that would appear over the course of the next few weeks. He needed to snatch as many as he could up before the Clan could even notice that they had formed.
His little show in front of his Mother and Father a week ago was a little bit over the top, but he mentioned to Dominic and Leon that he planned to show his resolve through his actions, rather than just his promises.
Arthur had absolutely no doubt that they would both go off and tell Niklos of what Arthur had said, so everything was relatively fine in that regard.
The only slightly problem was-.
"Nadia and Natasha.... In my previous life, I didn't even have my first child until I was about 36. It's about twenty years too early for this to occur.....".
Arthur knew that the timestream tried to "fix" problems whenever problems arose.
From Arthur's meagre understanding of the Laws Of Time, he knew that once an event was locked into place, it would happen at least once in the timestream. It didn't matter whether it happened today, or twenty years from now, Arthur was destined to have children.
If such a thing were actually the case then-.
'I would be destined to gather the attention of countless Sects and Fae Immortals, and they would chase me to the ends of the Thirty Three Heavens in order to obtain the Winter Solstice Salamander....'.
He shrugged his shoulders before shaking his head.
"I have a thousand years to worry about such an event. For the time being, let me think about what I should do with those two....".
Arthur didn't plan on leaving Parachenko Village just yet, so he would inevitably have to deal with two pregnant girls, in addition to their children in less than seven months time.
He never once planned on raising either of them, nor did he plan on teaching them, or doing anything with them.
There were a few Fae that needed the blood of a relative in order to be formed, but realistically, any relative would do, not just a baby.
Ivan and Ivanka would both work just as well in his opinion, perhaps even better due to the closer similarities between their blood.
Arthur hummed gently as he shook his head.
There wasn't really any benefit to getting rid of these children, at least none that went beyond just casual annoyance.
His knowledge and understanding of Fae Formula wasn't omnipotent, and there existed countless Fae which he didn't know the Fae Formula for.
If there was such a Fae that needed the blood of a Fae Masters child to form then Arthur did not know of such a Formula.
He had two slightly above average looking eighteen year old girls underneath him, both willing to do just about anything that Arthur wanted.
Normally such a thing would only excite a man, especially someone as young and as vigorous as Arthur.
The sixteen year old only sighed, before crossing his legs and beginning his meditation.
'Instead of messing around, I think I'd just prefer to cultivate....'.
Excessively indulging was the enemy of efficiency, he thought.
