Chapter 867 - 867 Making a Tunnel to the Sea
867 Making a Tunnel to the Sea
Just like usual. Newcomers in the Monsters Village, and I introduced them to Albert and the others.
“This time, it’s the Crab People. You really did gain a new army. And they can fight underwater as well. Even if you don’t fight and let only the monsters fight, I’m sure that you can easily destroy one or two kingdom. Or even conquer the continent,” Albert said.
“Not just me though. Any tamer who can tame them all can do that. Though it seems like being forcefully tamed is not something that these guys want. Even the master level tamer had to ask for permission or the recoil from the contract magic refusal will hit him back,” I said.
The master level tamer is acting up again. With new monsters coming, including the dragons, he tried to tame as many as possible. But the monsters here seem to be resistant to contract magic. Unless they were willingly make a contract themselves.
I don’t know, but it seems like intellectual monsters who can communicate with are harder to make a contract with. Maybe because they are smarter?
Anyway, the tamer must be thinking of increasing his strength. So I kicked him to wake him up. As long as I’m here, I won’t let him do whatever he wants.
I introduced Crabbe and the other Crab People to Albert and the others. The others don’t have names. And I only gave Crabbe his name because I don’t want to call him Boss. It’s as if he’s my boss. So I gave him a name.
While other Crab People, they can think of a name themselves.
Still, they are huge. The Crab People and the dragons as well. It’s as if the village turned into a village of small creatures like werewolves, angels, and the others. Though they are normal sized. The huge ones are the Crab People and the dragons.
.....
When I arrived here with everyone, I could see that a Crab Person is fighting against Jack. The second strongest werewolf. And Jack could barely defeat the Crab Person with his speed. Though for strength and defense, the Crab Person is obviously stronger. He’s just lacking in experience.
But while they are slowly gaining experience, the other monsters are the same as well as they learned more in their victories and losses in the Colosseum. While the Crab People haven’t fought much.
Other than the Crab People, I also met the dragons for the first time. Other than Andro’s granddaughter and her children.
Maybe because I was one of the people whom they first saw when they were hatched that they became so attached to me. Five children with one of them being a Kaiser Dragon. The other four were play biting on each of my limbs and the baby Kaiser Dragon, who have grown to be taller than me was chewing on my head. They are so lovely with their way of affection.
“No, they are trying to eat you. When they get closer to other people or monsters, they would escape or fight back. Which makes these babies afraid of them since they hit them. But you didn’t hit them back. So they are thinking that you are food,” Graham explained.
...I’m a food it seems.
Though what about the Crab People? Maybe their sh.e.l.ls are too hard for these baby dragons. So they gave up on eating them.
If I use a bit of intimidation to them, I’m sure that they will be afraid of me and won’t dare to do it again. But let’s not do that and just patiently teach the dragons.
“Stop biting me or I’ll spank your a.s.ses!”
That is not patiently at all. But the baby dragons released me so I guess it works.
“They are still babies. They need to grind their baby teeth so they will be sharp. And when their baby teeth are sharp, when new teeth are growing, they will be sharper. That’s what they’re doing to you as you might be their best chewing toy.”
The one who said that is flying in the sky. He’s Andro. He’s also here to visit his great grandsons. Especially the baby Kaiser Dragon.
He doesn’t have long to live since a new Kaiser Dragon is born. But no one other than me knew it yet. Though it seems like he will still be alive until the new Kaiser Dragon reached adulthood.
He’s also here to keep the new dragons in line. Though that’s not a problem since they are enjoying battle with Shelia and the others. And they also learning to speak.
Dragons can speak. But they were just lazy to learn it. So most dragons never really learn language until adulthood. And now that they live in this village, making friends with other monsters, they started to learn language.
For now, they can simply say, “Let’s fight,” to other monsters. And so, more and more monsters are fighting. That’s why some earth mages here helped build the Colosseum to be bigger. Though some battles are outside of the Colosseum.
After introducing everyone and get to know with the new monsters, I asked earth mages and water mages, including the Crab People, to make the lake deeper and larger. And to make a tunnel connecting to the sea. Big enough that Spot in his original size can enter freely.
We already have master level earth mages, so making the lake bigger is not a problem. Though we needed a lot of water. But seems like the water spring, the source of the water on the lake, produce a lot of water, so it’s fine.
Then for the tunnel, we had the water mages and the Crab People to learn to split the lake water so the earth mages can make a tunnel. I think it will take a while for the tunnel to be completed, so we just mostly teach the monsters about magic control for the first day.
I was about to return, but Red, the smartest werewolf who is in charge of the village, stopped me.
“My king, if you like, how about you stay here for the night? Because we gained more monsters, we hunted more monsters. And the dragons and Crab People helped with the hunt. So we have a lot of meat and feasted every night. Please join us if you like,” Red said.
A feast? I won’t refuse then. Then I brought back everyone who is busy and unable to attend the feast, and bring here Lina and Ian to help with the cooking. Ruby also joined because Ian is here.
The monsters have learned to cook. But they prefer to eat more. If I have Lina here, then the taste of the cooking will suit me more.
They actually hunted some monsters I never see before. They said that they are delicious, so I can’t wait.
The dragons and Crab People who are used to eat everything raw tried to eat those monsters right away, but the other monsters stopped them.
Seems like they need some time until they get used to waiting so they can eat more delicious food.
It was a great feast. I ate until I’m full. While the baby dragons returned to biting me again after I let down my guard. I just endured it since they will have stronger and sharper teeth when they grow up.
And so, we stayed until late and returned back to Ca.s.sau.
We rested for one night before returning to the village to complete the tunnel.
Now that the Crab People can use magic better, they split the lake and let me and the earth mages to dig a tunnel. Though after we dug deep enough, we covered the tunnel so even after they stopped using magic to split the lake, the water won’t enter it.
We should have done that from the start. But this is fine as well.
Kayla and Celestine used their earth magic to dig the tunnel and reinforce it. Seems like Kayla can manipulate metal now. Though for that, Celestine is better.
In just a few hours, the tunnel reached the sea. Just a bit more and it will connect. But we stopped before we connected to the sea.
“The fresh water and salt water will meet. I think it’s best for the path to the lake is opened first. Then the water will enter, and break the wall to the sea. Roy, you can do it on your own now. I don’t want to get wet so please take us out of here,” Kayla said.
And so, I get the two back to the village. Then I opened a portal into the tunnel near the wall to the lake. I already had a Blobby there.
Then with just one punch, I broke the wall connecting the lake to the tunnel. Because we made the tunnel quite deep, the water pressure is stronger. Then I just need the water to hit the other wall.
I just let the water push my body so I can see if the wall on the other side will be broken. Being carried by the current is surprisingly fun.
Finally, the water reached the wall at the other side. And it really break the wall and connecting the lake to the sea.
With this, the Crab People and the serpents can freely go to the sea when they want.
...Though I don’t know if it’s important for battle or not. But this could be used as an escape route just in case. So I guess it’s fine.
