Roel closed his eyes while waiting for his death or something bad to happen, but while he is afraid of what may happen*Pat... pat... pat*but a rhythmic tapping on his back rea.s.sures him by the serenity of the blows, so he decided to open the eyes to see what is happening.When Roel opened his eyes and he couldn"t help but be astonished by the purple eyes of the beast which showed intellect and boredom while wiping his claw with his tongue.
"Amazing" It was the word that came out to appreciate the beast in front of him.
Roel rose from his place so as not to disturb the beast while he also realized that the beast was the one who had rea.s.sured him.
He sat on the floor while touching the fur of the beast < how="" soft...=""> but while he was amazed by the softness of Alex"s fur, the other children began to approach Alex when they saw his actions.
It didn"t take long for the children to start touching him everywhere full of curiosity.
Alex watched the children"s behavior while thinking < how="" annoying="" they="" are...="" but="" how="" lazy="" is="" to="" take="" them="" off="" me=""> he lay on the gra.s.s while resting and let the children entertain with his claws, tail or ears.
Krota sat sideways while drawing as Alex is surrounded by all the children and lets them entertain themselves to exhaustion and thus make it easier to take them back.
Time went by while the children play with Alex who simply moves his tail or legs to push the children, but at some point all the children fell asleep on top of Alex, at the beginning he might be a little upset because they dirty his fur, but feeling and seeing that the children didn"t have malice in them, Alex decided not to care his discomfort and let them enjoy, since he would leave the next day.
When the children fell asleep, Krota decided to deliver the meat to Alex in order to make s.p.a.ce in the cart where he will put the sleeping children.
Krota approached with a large piece of meat to Alex "I don"t know if you understand me, but this is our grat.i.tude for diminis.h.i.+ng our concerns"he brought the meat towards Alex.
Alex turned instantly when he smelled the meat and looked directly at Krota < !!!=""> he quickly picked up the meat in his inventory with the help of his tail that was the only free part of his body.
"!!!"Krota was amazed by what happened, from one moment to another the meat in his arms disappeared with a single movement of Alex"s tail.
But while he was amazed, Alex began to look forward to the cart that he now noticed that it has a strong smell of meat.
Alex withdrew the children from him with delicate movements so as not to wake them and he began to move towards the cart. < hehe!="" so="" that="" was="" the="" visit...="" you="" came="" to="" give="" me="" offerings="" for="" my="" greatness!=""> It was Alex"s thought when he started storing all the meat in his inventory.
"..."Krota was amazed at the speed at which the meat disappeared from the cart, as if it had never been there, that is what he would think if it were not for the remaining smell that remained in the environment.
But while Krota was astonished, the following amazed him more, gold and iron ingots began to fill the cart before empty.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Alex thought as he emptied three of his inventory slots that had been filled with those materials, but the truth is that he was making s.p.a.ce to place the meat that he still had to save.*Kreek!~* The wood of the cart began to creak because of the weight it has, being a little more than a ton.
Krota quickly began to count the gold and iron ingots"2... 7... 20.... 35... 38 gold ingots and 97 iron ingots!!"Krota"s hands shook as much as the amount of bullion counted, perhaps gold would go to the treasury or be used for magical equipment, iron is the most coveted mineral by all villages for its number of uses.
"My hypothesis was correct!"Krota began to write down what happened since it would be valuable information since Alex became a walking mine of minerals, and his idea was not at all bad since Alex had in his inventory another 3 slots of his inventory full of iron ingots.
But while Krota was happy with his iron, Alex was identifying the different types of meat in his inventory < wolf="" meat,="" elk="" meat,="" goat="" meat!="" ...="" chicken!="" ...="" fis.h.!.+="" hoho="" this="" daddy="" is="" rich="" now!=""> A little saliva tried to escape Alex"s mouth, but he composed himself instantly.
*Woos.h.!.+* A fire arrow was shot to the skyward in a direction where it wouldn"t hurt anyone.
The arrow flame was green < the="" tip="" is="" made="" of="" copper=""> it was what Alex thought when he saw the flame in the almost night sky.
Krota had shot one of the two special arrows.
He has two types of special arrows to use as signs, an arrow made of a wood that is consumed as if it were gunpowder and another that has a copper tip.
The first arrow creates thunderous sounds while it is consumed in orange flames and disappears into the air and its meaning is of invading enemies, usually used by explorers.
The other, copper-tipped arrow has different meanings depending on how it shoots.
If the direction of the arrow is towards the Village it means that someone is injured and they need help, the second way is to shoot it towards one of the sides of the Village in a parabolic way, it means that it is to request support in a combat and, finally, shooting an arrow vertically means that one asks for support, usually to carry things like the body of an animal.
Quickly there was an answer from the village when the two watchtowers lit two torches and began to shake them in response to Krota"s signal.
After a few minutes, several mothers and Kobolds warriors arrived at the place and were amazed to see the cart full of iron ingots and a few golds, quickly began to bring smaller carts with which they began to take the iron in small quant.i.ties inside the cart while some mothers took their sons or daughters.
Krima tried to get Alex"s hair, but she only received a growl from Alex when he felt a sharp pain when he felt how the girl tried to tear off one of his whiskers. < neither="" crazy="" would="" give="" you="" one="" of="" these=""> That was Alex"s thought when he growled at the girl and remembered how long it took to recover his whiskers when he accidentally made an explosion very close to his face that eventually ended up burning one of his whiskers, which made him feel disoriented and dizzy for several days.
When the twin moons were high in the sky without a trace of the sun, all the Kobolds had already finished picking up the ingots and left Alex alone who looked a little more sullen with such a presence of Kobolds around him.
The night pa.s.sed without problems and the village was a little lively with all the amount of iron they got, several Kobold"s blacksmiths began to remove the impurities while receiving orders about weapons, utensils or tools that had been acc.u.mulating for not having enough materials.
As soon as possible for the Kobold children, they left their homes and headed to the treehouse, but when they arrived, they could use the "borrowed" binoculars.
Everyone was discouraged by not seeing Alex anywhere on the plain meadow.
While the children were discouraged, Alex was a great distance from the village in the direction of the next room while eating skewers of meat, chicken, and fish.
"Ñom ñom!"Alex chewed with joy.
< it="" was="" worth="" going="" this="" way=""> Alex thought while mentally thanking the wooden twig in his inventory.
But while Alex enjoyed his skewers, the core of the dungeon that had been watching Alex, detected that this is much stronger than planned according to its calculations, with only the authority to alter the state of other beasts, it decided to interfere by improving the quality of the monsters again.
At first it only watched the Kobolds as its master"s wish, but then the desire to watch Alex arose, at the beginning the core did not understand why and it didn"t, according to its low compression, Alex is an invader that the master wants dead and to achieve that it has to make its servants strong and from what it sees, Alex is above its servants, something it doesn"t consider good and that is why it will do everything possible to satisfy its master"s desire with everything It is within its reach and that is to modify the status of its servants... there is only one problem... the core doesn"t understand the statistics and simply distributes the random statistics of its servants in hopes of making them stronger.
The change began from the first floor to the last since many points had never been distributed since the master never devoted himself to that since there was no need.
All the beasts showed a significant change in them, many were lucky that their updated statistics benefited them, all the beasts or monsters felt the change they suffered, even the little striped kitten felt like something try to change her, but luckily her points had already been used, so saving her from a possible bad expense of her points.
Although the beasts became much stronger by the distribution of their points, the Kobold villages were not affected, since it was a ritual to eliminate all the powerful beasts so as to always be the strongest and not suffer damage from their negligence.
Many powerful Kobolds did not advance to the third floor just for fear of rumors and legends, but many of them are stronger or as strong as Kra"ga.
