Sam went to the workshop and first time ever, he was without any surveillance and that is because, the artisans don"t like their methods being watched by others, so they have this special privilege.
He locked the door and entered the workshop and once again checking the room for any type of surveillance just to make sure, he finally puked out the divine dimension which has been in his stomach.
He learned that he couldn"t enter the divine dimension while it was in his stomach, so he didn"t access this at all.
Even the blueprints he gave to Rana are taken out with great difficulty after moving the crystal to his mouth without letting it out completely.
The first thing Sam did after taking out the divine dimension is entering it and taking a swig of the heavenly wine. He missed this wine so much and had to cover up the craving with the normal liquor.
He took a good chug of it before relaxing a bit. No matter how much freedom he has the situation is not that great, so being in a place in which he had absolute control is great.
Sam sat in the divine dimension library and thought about what to do now. He needs to get a hang of the city layout and his exact position within the city.
In case, Yodha doesn"t turn out to be the person he thought he would be and his plan fails, Sam would have another plan that can aid his escape from this place.
But he doesn"t have trackers that can work in this environment. Shadow mice will be affected by the poison as they are only Level-6. Even the Zoi termites cannot survive in this environment.
He has to find an alternative to his options so that he can get his information. He pretty much understood the situation of power. Since it is imperial capital, except for Yodha and his father, everyone else can only bow to the emperor and the imperial family.
As for some high-level n.o.bles like the Golden Blaze family, they do control certain businesses. For example, the girl named Vasuki who has a pink hue on her scales belongs to a family that has business in medicine and pharmacy.
They have fields all over the nation and they cultivate any herb that could possibly be cultivated on the soils of this nation.
Yodha doesn"t belong to a family that has a long history, his father is the one who won the t.i.tles all by himself and his father is of the same generation as the current emperor.
Since he learned of the powers of this city, the next thing he would need is a layout. It would come in handy just in case he needs to destroy the city or escape from it.
Of course, even though it is a backup plan, it has to be thorough.
But even after thinking long and hard, there is no immediate solution.
Shadow mice, termites, locusts don"t work. If he uses any spells, he would be easily detected. As for making something new, time is of the essence.
After thinking long and hard, he couldn"t help but take the bestiary once again. That is the only way out for him at this moment.
He started collecting the clues from what he learned all these days.
First and foremost, this is an area full of gra.s.slands and the atmosphere is suitable for Purple flame horses, apart from that, he started recollecting the catalog of the meats that he could buy in the store.
He made a list of animals he ate and saw.
After making that list, he started rounding up the beasts that could live in similar environments and after marking them, he crossed out all the other beasts that don"t have a single thing common to the remaining regarding the environments they naturally live in.
After creating this new list, he started reading up on the beasts once more, even though he has the information in his head, he read once again just to be sure.
After reading all the information, he compiled some data that could estimate the surrounding environmental conditions and some types of flora that could possibly exist in this place.
After that, he once again went through the beasitary and started looking for all kinds of beasts that could possibly live in the environmental conditions he estimated.
Even though they spent two days in the gra.s.slands, it seems like some sort of hunting grounds with a select few beasts, so he doesn"t have enough data from it, but still, he is pretty confident in his estimation.
After going through all the data, Sam finally found a feasible solution, but for that, he has to go out once, even if it is in a controlled situation, where he has no real freedom.
After getting all the information he needed, Sam finally went through the next important thing and he came out at the right time because as soon as he came out of the divine dimension, someone came to the artisan workshop and it happened to be Rana.
When he saw him, Sam was tempted to make a move and get it over with, but he still didn"t do so in the end.
"I forgot to ask, how you are going to manufacture something alone without any artisan."
"Well, I don"t have to manufacture anything, all I have to do is make some repairs and create some extra outer-sh.e.l.ls, and who said I am not an artisan."
With that, Sam showed the golden flame at his fingertips and some metallic sh.e.l.ls of the bee-puppets in his hand.
He forgot that Rana doesn"t know he is an artisan and directly asked for the workshop access and Rana himself didn"t think much of it and accepted in a daze and later realized the mistake.
"You have fire element?" Rana asked with an extremely stunning gaze, after all, Sam never used it in a fight.
"I rarely use it in battles, my go-to is physical strength and the second one is lightning, the fire element is like a hidden card up my sleeves. n.o.body forced me to use that yet, so you didn"t see it. Let us hope that you would be able to see this week.
I hope your gold level fighters are not too disappointing."
"We will see. Oh, by the way, do you have any requirements for the fight other than what you wrote in the proposal?"
"Actually, I just thought of some."
With that, Sam started explaining some details and Rana is not suspecting anything at all.
After Rana left, Sam went back to dealing with the issues at hand, since the solution for investigation is available, the next thing he has to do is find a cure for the poison that was left in the fighters" bodies.
Actually, that is the only thing, Sam is trying even when he is in the residence and under surveillance and he used the guise of cooking to do that.
He just bought various local herbs as seasonings for the beast meat every day and he observed the effects of these herbs on the poison on Arman.
Since coming here Arman has been useful for little tasks, like being the test subject of the poison inside. Once Sam even asked if he could get rid of that and Arman said that he is positive if he used his secret blood burning technique.
But he didn"t let him do that and let him be the test subject, at least this is a great use of him.
After continuous consumption of the herbs along with the meat, he did have some effects and these next seven days that he could spend in the divine dimension which will give him two months, he could make an antidote or at least a medicine that could reduce the effects, if push comes to shove, he can use the wine given by the Monkey King.
But he doesn"t want to do that. He couldn"t use these special cards whenever he got into trouble, otherwise, he wouldn"t be able to solve problems effectively. Particularly, since he had plenty of time, he doesn"t have to resort to such things.
So, now Sam went into research mode. But all the time, he kept an eye on the outside world, because Rana came to check up on him from time to time.
Soon, the time pa.s.sed and Sam did have some results. He swallowed the divine dimension once again and came out with around twenty Bee-Puppets.
These are the same bee-puppets he made back on his planet, but there is only one modification and that is they are good for a single person scouting for a whole team.
These twenty puppets have spirits and those twenty spirits have connections between then apart from that they can all be connected to one of the large screens which Sam brought out along with it.
They work like a CCTV system and this is for his next special fight.
There are plenty of these large screens and they are for the audience to see Sam"s next fight. Because the next fight is not going to be in Arena and not in a regular style.
The next fight is a hunt. Between Sam and all the Silver and Gold-ranked fighters in his division.
Sam went to Rana and started explaining how to use these things before the fight happens. This is the chance he has been waiting for because the fight is outside the arena. In the woods.
