Chapter 11 - Ch - 011 - Stay Longer

Machete machete...

Too many different types of it, crocodile, bold, kukri, heavy and so on

Regardless the variety, I need quantity, there's swords too, but am more focused on the tools rather than weapons.

I mean he said that "nothing might catch me attention", was he just being modest???

Anyway, there's so many different tools I need, things like...

Hatchet, saw, needle, hammer and...!!

Secateur? Lockpic? Pickaxe? What are these here for??

Of course I know it's uses, but I'm curious why these things are here, in the said suplies sections???

We bring these things for urgent matters, as when finding treasures, for example..

Secateur for delicate rare plants if we find such treasure in the way, same for pickaxe if we find rare ore or especially magical stones, lockpicks are needed in dungeons or old ruins, we might never need it in this journey, but it's in the banking artifact anyway...

With the variety, quality and quantity, am reassured now, not just suplies, he have a huge reserves of everything mentioned.

Koro seems filthy rich, previously I didn't give it enough thoughts, but the banking artifact should be a legendary item among the rarest, or why would he keep it secret from me?

Moreover, he have quality papers, he even gave some of it like it's nothing, now Shadee can record everything at ease, of course with ink too...

Shadee!

Yes me lord?

You know the ratio of quantity and the type of tools we need, don't be modest, get me everything you can and suck him dry

I leave it in Shadee's care now that I know everythings we want are avaliable

Although I said "suck him dry" infront the merchant Koro, it's not for free

But we will negotiate later

Yes me lord

Excuse me your majesty?

Anan..!

I ignored the merchant for now

Yes me lord

Call the whole second month to group up here and equipe themselves to clear the mess in the north..

Immediately!

With this one word he's gone

Yes me lord!!

This is Adnan, I didn't even call him, but..

Help Shadee, and especially focus on the second month's preparations

Seems disappointed that he didn't even reply

Whatever.., by the way a "month" is the name of battalion, you know, a clone per day means thirty per month, so one battalion for me mean thirty clones, aside from the special first month, the others have codenames such as no.02/15, like saying the clone that been born on the fifteenth day of the second month.

.

Looks like the mercenaries head were waiting for me after I finished with Koro, but Aslan?

I thought he would be playing with the knights order!! And..

Mr. Nazar? Thought you need more time to decide after you resolve your family problems with the knights order!?

This grey head have things to say, though the date for his final decision is not now to declare

Your majesty, we decided that the Sven house is no more...

Huh? What's with this poorish decision? Are you out of your mind??

I interrupted him suddenly showing mine anger, he's acting like a buttler, how would I trust to him the management of the remnants of the previous Sven house??

Although remnants, it's a huge issue for me to manage his people, which still a huge number

And what about your late lord? Does his last will mean nothing to you as the first aid??

So I continue in the heat, scolding him an elder to boot!!

How would I, as the new lord of yours, would I trust such a man??

My deepest apology your majesty, I wasn't thinking clearly, will reconsider my... The Sven's house situation again.

So he said and left immediately

.

Me lord has changed

Shut up!

Am angry right now and don't bully me, especially not infront our guests

To have a relaxed conversation, we changed place, to the Torch library again, I let Aslan do the recording as a punishment, though I say punishment, he's recording our conversation on the quality papers that we just aquired.

May I ask about this language??

I should be the one to ask what she have in mind, yet she initiated the conversation with an unexpected question.

I invented this "lines language" to decrease the efforts needed for the fire engraving, less engraving means less wooden boards needed, more efficiency and more speed.

A new writing system??

She looks curious and more interested than what she wants to disquss, or...!

You could have asked Aslan if this was what you wanted to talk about!

I.. Ahem, sorry but a.., I want to ask about this place, the body type of these masked men, yet this hero, Don Aslan said that he can't answer without your.. Your majesty's permission!!

Looks like she's not used to royals

Or maybe the mercenaries in general don't care much about status, I think..

By the way! Her speech is more polite than last night, moreover she just called Aslan..

Don??

I said it out loud while staring at Aslan.

You called me lord?

So he's already used to his new title?

Never mind..

.

What in particular??

Still I didn't hear the rest of Aslan's story about last night, let's leave it for later, when I have free time and focus here..

Let's say their bodies, as I heard from Don Aslan, his body is naturally immune to magic, moreover it's not only his, but every native here is the same, my question is, is there a certain ritual or is it a special inheritance?

Indeed we, the purifiers, have special bodies, but this matter is classified as top secret, yet I can tell you this, we're not involved with any kind of magic, hence a ritual is...!

Me lord?

Was about to lie that Aslan interrupted me in gentle tone, I stopped not because Aslan's reaction, but why would I even need to lie?

Is there a reason to??

Ahem, like I mentioned earlier, magic, curse, qi, chakura or whatever you might call it, none are involved, and the ritual part, it's what I would call "our own faith" to be specific.

Am not lying at all

Or at least, I believe in mine theory that the anti-magic part is related to mine faith...

And the same goes for what you call anti-magic domain...

But ~.., even if your.. Your majesty say that, how does it work??

Hmnn, now I get what she meant to ask.

If you're asking to prepare a counter measures of sort, I would say there's none.

Yes, if this what she is thinking of

Then I can't tell her the simple rule of our faith.

I.. Am...

She's baffled, frustrated and speechless

Is this all you wanted to know?

Of course I mean no more talk about this topic

Then.. We!! What about us?

Oh? So she meant their magical power, Huh?

Heard that your elites are working hard to discover a solution for you..

Me lord, me lord please, please hold on.

What is it Aslan?

What's with him suddenly to give me a surprise?!

How should I write "elites"?

Damn, for a moment I thought he's revolting!

But he's showing me the paper where he stopped...

Guess he's not very used to this writing system like Shadee and the rest of the recording team.

Can't you guess??

Sorry me lord, if I try to guess, I will miss the rest of the conversation, or if I use the original word, it would become a mess...

Nice choice, look here...

So I catch the feather and wholeheartedly taught him...

While on it, the witch were so focused on me to learn anything she could, so I tried mine best to ignite her curiousity even more

Why??

So that she and her mercenaries stay here longer than planned, to learn more from each other... A matual benefits I would say

Yes, she's not cute at all

Stop asking me this :-(
