Xia is sitting down in front of Mors. A wooden table between the two of them. This is Mors private office. Xia looks at Mors as he spoke.
"That is what Kathako wants you to gather."
"I see. Just to make sure. [Green Kraken Scales], [Petrified Wood], and [Darken Sand]. Weird materials to use for practicing crafting."
"He says that this will be helpful for something later on. What I really need are ores of metals and wood."
"Now that is something more doable, I can easily buy enough."
"No. We can't buy them; he says that I must search for my own ore and mine it."
"Oh, sounds like rough work. Good luck with that. When you come back your own personal forge should be done"
"I cannot thank you enough for what you are doing."
Xia said as he stood up and bow down to his second master. Mors nodded his head as he allows Xia to leave. Xia left Mors alone. Mors sitting in his chair looks at the ceiling. Doing deep thinking about something.
"Finally, after a year of being in this world, I have an excuse to explore a Tower!"
Mors said a sense of adventure surfacing from his very cells. He hasn't felt this feeling for a long time. Even if he does not hate his new way of life. Training his students, spending time with his beautiful wife, developing the village, and making new tea.
He likes exploring this brand-new world. Unlike his old world where everyone has been explored. There were no secrets left on Terra. The next frontier, the endless ever-expanding dark void of the universe has not been breached yet.
"Actually, I think I remember reading that they were on the edge of breaking through faster-than-light travel. The colony is Mars was also developing well."
Mors said to himself as he imagines his own know earth turning into a Sci-Fi utopia.
"Under the guidance of the president the United Earth Republic will have a strong democratic foundation. It should never fall again to Authoritarian rulers."
Mors finishes recalling his past life, as to stop himself from remembering anything that is best left forgotten. He stood up from his seat and walks out of his office. His destination was no other that the Zhihui office. He arrives in front of her door and he knocks on it softly.
Her charming voice echoes in his ears as he enters the room. Zhihui is sitting on a wooden chair, overlooking countless documents. The words on the documents were not the normal common symbols the people of this land used to communicate.
The symbols were letters that form words. She is writing in English. Mors tough her the language so she writes things without fearing the information from being leaked. Only Mors can read the words and even then it's hard to read. As he is not an English teacher and could not fully teach her the intricate systems of the language.
"How was the talk with Xia?"
"All good, I just need to go to a tower to gather some materials for him. He in the meantime will go and collect ores himself. That is what Kathako told him to do."
"Sounds rough. What materials do you need to gather?"
"[Green Kraken Scales], [Petrified Wood], and [Darken Sand]"
"Um. Those are uncommon things to find in the outside world. You need to go to a tower to get them or spend fat-"
"I am going to the tower."
"Ha, I see you already made up your mind," Zhihui said with a smile on her face. She knew that her husband liked exploring and has never been to a Tower before. She can imagen this is his excuse to go to one and explore it.
"The tower that has all of those resources is called [Endless Blue] A commander to general stage tower. It should be right up your alley."
"Great. When is your next plan ready?"
"In four months should be good. I need a lot of companies and liquid assets for this plan. I don't want to bore you with the details."
"Will having so much gold really be useful against the Goblins?"
"Hiring the Ships of the Greater River Republics don't come in cheap."
"If you say so. Anyway, I should get going if I want to make it back to the next event."
"Good luck on the journey dear"
"Thank you!"
Mors said as he walks out of Zhihui's office. He walks out of his house after saying goodbye to his students. He walks out of the clan state and towards the capital city. He enters the city after an hour of walking. Once inside the city, he went around and bought some rations for himself.
He then found a carriage renting place and he hires the driver to drive him to the small town next to [Endless Blue]. The drive cost only 2 gold coins. This did not even make a dent in his gold reserves. As his carriage leaves the city and is on its way to the small town. Mor's new journey can finally start.
Excitement circled thought his body. A smile on Mors' face.
