Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats - Chapter 159

Shin kept staring at Mo for a minute or two and was tired already.

“How long will it take for the potion to take effect?”, Shin asked when he ran out of patience.

“I think, it will take a few hours for the potion to take effect considering his size.’, was what Kaily said.

Well, the potion was meant to break the curse, so size didn’t matter actually.

It was the strength of the curse that mattered since it was common sense that a stronger curse will take much more time to break or be lifted when compared to a weaker curse.

‘She isn’t making any sense, but I think that’s how her potions work.’, Shin concluded and left the site after bidding Mo farewell and went to join the elves.

Mo had no issues with that. He was happy instead since he was soon going to be in his original shape and size with his original lifespan.

Kaily followed Shin and gathered just under the humongous tree in which many Arb elves resided.

When Shin arrived near the tree, he could see the blank expression on the faces of the elves.

They were perhaps shocked by something or were completely awed by some matter.

Little did Shin know that it was because of his skill that they were in such a state.

Nevertheless, none of Shin’s teammates asked. The same was for the elves too. All of them hesitated to ask until one of the elves came forward.

“Um, I have something to ask…”, the elf said.

When the topic at hand was about Shin’s transformation, what else could probably be asked?

For sure, the elf came forward to ask the same and everyone knew that, except Shin that is.

Well, the elf wasn’t nervous like the others. More than that, the elf seemed a bit friendly.

“Yes?”, she too replied to what she had to ask.

Both of them seemed comfortable with each other and why wouldn’t they be? They had talked for quite sometime earlier.

Yes, the elf who approached Shin right now was the same female elf who was previously acting arrogant.

The elves weren’t surprised by her leading their questions since they knew how much of a confident force she was, but they sure knew that she had screwed up since they believed it was her fault that their secrets were revealed.

“I want to know, just now…”

“Did you use some spell to transform?”, she asked directly.

She had nothing to fear at the moment since she was within her own territory and she knew how much of a kind being Shin was.

“Ah…”

“Instead of a spell, ‘skill’ would be a proper word to term that.”, Shin replied.

“A skill?”

“So you used a skill to transform?”, she was genuinely surprised by that.

“Yes.”

“Then does that mean you can transform into any-”

“I have a skill that lets me transform into a crow.”- Shin concluded while intervening her.

He had already noticed the slight whispering and murmuring that was going on in the background.

The same was with Kaily, she too was shocked when Shin spilled the beans.

Therefore, to minimize the surprise and to keep the skill as a trump card for later, Shin decided to go with a facade.

That was why he intervened her and said what he had on his mind.

‘Ah, so he can only transform into a crow…’, was what all the elves who were listening concluded.

The same was for Kaily who was now less surprised.

Terran wasn’t even suspicious about Shin’s statement since he too had only seen his crow form.

The chatter ceased and all the Arb Elves started to prepare some leaves so that their guests could sleep peacefully and comfily on them under the tree.

In a while, a lot of leaves were collected and laid on the floor on which everyone rested.

Shin too lied on them as if he wanted to sleep while hinting the Elven Chief to reveal everything to their members and then return to talk.

Yes, this was the perfect chance for Shin to gain the hands of the elves, however, what could these even do?

They couldn’t even exit the forest because of their deformity.

Shin had to think hard about this case since he didn’t want any burden.

‘Hmm…’

‘If only they were to be supplied with adequate mana that would sustain their youth…’

If that would happen, then they would never age. Without a doubt, after learning a job, they would be able to perform the same for centuries to go and there would be no reason to replace them.

‘Hmm…’

‘But how?’, that was the question at hand.

If there really was a way to give them enough mana supply then there would be no problem at all!

Well, Shin took up a lot of work at the moment and started structuring and trying to find a solution to the questions.

‘A clan…’

‘Suppose I accept the elves, then a clan would be formed since the number of members would exceed by a lot…’

‘What would be the clan’s name?’

‘…’

‘Suppose a clan name was picked…’

‘What about the next step?’

‘There should be a centering where all can stay!’

He was right. Not everyone could actually move around because that would attract tons of attention from others which would be rather unwise.

Also, the elves couldn’t even go much farther from the center area.

Shin had a lot of things to sort out so he decided to approach everything one by one.

‘First…’

‘Is there a way to prevent the Arb elves from aging abnormally?’

When Shin questioned this to himself, he didn’t expect any answer immediately since he had to put a lot of thought into it.

However, right when he asked himself that question, the system ended up answering that.

‘Ding’

[ Affirmative ]

“Huh?”

The system answered him at once when he asked himself.

Well, who else would he even ask?

One of the greatest tools which was beyond understanding was with him – System – so it was the best option for him to choose and clear all his doubts via the system.

However, he ended up making a sound because of the shock due to which Terran turned his gaze towards Shin.

He was lying down close to him after all.

In any case, Shin pretended as if he didn’t make any noise. Terran seeing Shin calm thought that it was his own imagination and lied down on the ground again while enjoying the cool and comfy leaves.

Shin didn’t let this bother him. He regained his concentration and started asking the system which had answered him earlier.

‘Tell me, what is the way to free the Arb Elves from this dilemma?’, Shin asked.

‘Ding’

[ Tears Of The Forest Goddess ]

‘Tears of…’

‘The Forest Goddess?’

Shin heard a unique name and was intrigued by that.

‘Ding’

[ -> Forest Goddess, a cheerful Goddess, looks after all beings born in the forest ]

[ -> Holds the power of the life of all the beings of the forest ]

[ -> In a legend, it was believed that the Forest Goddess cried only once when her family – the beings born in the forest – were being massacred and killed by the Fire God ]

[ -> Her tears caused the entire forest to turn into a devilish one which started havoc ]

[ -> After her rage subsided, she realized her doing due to which she returned to her home while leaving her tears behind ]

[ -> Those tears, which had the purest form of mana from a Goddess turned into artifacts which were lost within the great forests until the humans found it ]

The system ended up telling the entire story about the tears.

It wasn’t half bad since Shin came to know a bit more about the world in which he was striving in.

Though, there was one thing that he failed to understand – ‘Why did the forest turn devilish? ‘

‘Is her tears holding evil powers?’, Shin asked the system.

‘Ding’

[ -> The tears hold mana and no other form of energy ]

[ -> The negative energy which forced the tears to take the form of a devil was from the Goddess because of the sorrow and pain of her loved ones ]

The answer from the system seemed satisfying.

Shin questioned no more, for a minute at least since he understood that it was that very artifact that could help the elves.

‘But…’

‘The humans have those…’

That was the biggest thing that he was worried about.

It was not a matter that the artifact was powerful or not, the bigger worry was that the humans had it.

For now, he had already made his appearance in Levonia which not only angered many but also made him a beast that was to be looked after.

So yes, it wouldn’t be easy to get inside any other city since there would be heavy guarding even against a small white puppy which would have nothing to do with wolves!

‘Sigh…’

‘This is troublesome for sure…’
