Evolution: Conqueror - Chapter 117

Torug’s POV

“….”

“….”

a strange silence permeated in the air as Urim and I stared at each other for a few seconds before Moz’s voice came from the side, “congratulations?”

I quickly cleared my throat lightly and said while suppressing a laugh, “yes Urim, this is a spectacular news…have you shared it with Torrelsav?”

A frown appeared on his face as though he was imagining something horrible, so I said, “Don’t worry, I can at least guarantee that he doesn’t kill you, if that’s what you are…pfff worried about.”

At my words, his face became visibly darker.

“Hmph…”, he snorted slightly before turning to look at Moz.

“Snort all you want but I am not bailing you out of this one, I wonder if he would challenge you to a death duel or have you hunt some strange creature… what do you think Moz? or perhaps take…” I teased him with a grin and looked at Moz for support, too bad she only looked at me with raised eye brows.

“would you relax already, it’s just a child not a blazing fireball, besides you told me that he already gave you his support no?”, I asked calmly while he nodded, “good, so you are fine…at least Dabok isn’t having you do a ceremony just to f*ck”.

“Is that my name I hear?” Dabok’s voice comes from the direction of the village, the lakeside suddenly becoming more lively.

A few moments later…

“you must be joking, Urim!” Dabok’s voice rises up a notch in surprise, then he proceeds to whisper “did you mean…?”

“Yes!!!” we all answered for the sixth time in the last few minutes, as we watched the old Orc grin foolishly.

“So fertile?…” he murmured before yelling “splendid news!!”, Dabok says repeatedly before rushing back to the village to do God knows what but for some reason I felt a chill run up my spine.

“…” A wave of emotion cycled through me for a bit and I felt somewhat torn between finding it strange and being sad.

I silently stretched my hand out to have a closer look and Urim placed it in my hand, “Where did you find this?”

“The Dregu Chief had it around his neck”.

“…”

“It looked like the…” he began to speak but I finished the words for him,

“It was the one Filge used to wear” I said such words in a low voice as I examined the necklace with nostalgia.

A memory of a thick bearded orc with a stupid grin as he worked on a wooden house, “Filge White Bone”, brother to my mother in this world, he was a rather strange Orc that enjoyed wood working too much, he’d rather have those than go to battle. Thinking about it now, perhaps that’s where Urim got his talents when it comes to crafting bows or working on the wooden buildings around. Due to Filge’s nature, Grand father never forced him, instead he made a necklace that would help him to survive.

I remember how envious everyone was that day because…

I calmly gathered Mana from within and channeled it into the bone necklace, watching it change from brown to white.

“You should keep it, after all, Filge would have wanted you to have it…” I said passing it back to Urim, Unfortunately, the powers in the necklace has pretty much been reduced to nothing over the years, Maybe if I could get a equipment upgrade card or something like that in the future… I’d use it on the necklace.

With that thought, I looked at it’s stats once again.

“No you keep it” Urim argues but I didn’t let him finish, “Don’t worry, I have mother’s”, Moz subconsciously touches the bone earrings on her ear but I showed them the necklace I found.

He rushed closer to inspect it with a solemn expression, He seemed to have recognized it and couldn’t help nodding repeatedly as his hold on my arm got tighter for a second.

“are you sure about your plans, Brother?” He suddenly asked while looking into my eyes.

“Don’t worry, I would be letting our people down if I do otherwise”.

“…”

“So, do you think it’s a boy or a girl?”

After messing around for a few minutes, Urim left and now, it was just me and Moz by the lake side.

“Take the Goblins, to the other side of white mountain… Someone will receive them”

“Ok” She says and I brought out another evolution pill.

“but before that, Take this…”I give her the pill and observed her expression.

Besides the initial surprise, she collected it and swallowed without a single shred of doubt. somehow it felt different each time but I have come to understand that they all trust me for different reasons or beliefs.

Earlier while talking to Urim, I gave him the pill and he didn’t even question it, if I hadn’t told him to wait till he was settled with his matter…he would have swallowed it and who knew how long his evolution would take, considering our bloodline.

Moz on the other hand should be a lot easier.

a minute later, a whitish cacoon laid next to me.

With a sigh, I checked the cool down for my branding…I won’t be able to take control of Brogg with it on cool down.

Another sigh escaped my lips as I sat down on the floor. ‘Memories of my former life feels so far away now but does it even matter anymore?’ I looked at my green palm with slight confusion.

‘Damn it Alex, you have never been an emotional guy…’ I thought with a laugh before bringing up the interface for Sigil.

I have now confirmed that the tiger does exist, but it was now in the hands of the Greyeye clan. ‘I need to make contact to know if it’s hostile or something before adding any other foreign creature to this world’.

My line of sight then landed on the two empty spots available for new sigils.

Thann’s End,

Moongret family domain.

Slum Area,

Shev’s POV

“A territory with nothing.”

This place truly was the stinks.

to think that Four Fingered Burne seemed to be pretty well-off, I thought his territory would be more developed, but I guess not.

It’s still the slums after all.

In the Four Fingered Burne’s estate, I leaned back into the chair Burne would usually be seated, as I looked down at his bound figure in front of me.

“…now, what am I supposed to do with you?”

I had invaded and taken Burne’s estate along with his armed forces, ‘Master wanted Chaos in Thann’s End and so Chaos he shall get’ I smiled thinking about the praises I would receive as I signalled one of my men to smash Burne’s head.

“And so it begins.” I said while eyeing the Moongret castle in the distance.

Cail did the same as he noticed my action.

“Now we have a base befitting of master’s prestige.” I never needed something like this before but now, things were different…
