1015 Zangibar
Once he got to eat almost the first gem, his body started to shine in bright black light, startling even this giant dude.
“Lord… Lord… This…” and when he closed his eyes to inspect his body for a few minutes, he couldn’t help but scream in such shock and excitement, seemingly happy about what he did find inside his body.
“What? Not enough for your taste?” I acted as if I knew what happened inside his body, despite the fact that I didn’t! And I wanted to ask, desperately wanted to ask about what happened there thanks to my gem.
“Lord… These… These are the legendary fruits of heaven!!!” and after a few more minutes of shaking out of excitement, he looked at the two fruits in his hand while muttering in such disbelief.
“Legendary what? They are just gems I collected from one of my worlds,” I honestly said, but my words seemed to not explain anything, or make his shock get lighter.
Instead, his body kept shaking in a fiercer way, while his eyes shone in bright black light while a thick black fog gushed out from his body, forming a thick layer over it, reminding me of my soulers.
“Lord… This can’t be real, right?!!!” and out of manners, he held my both arms and shook me fiercely, “lord… Each fruit of these is priceless to my race! There are too many races in my universe! Lord… You can’t just throw these over to us, it’s a waste. A damn waste!”
What the heck was wrong with him? “Easy there, I got you out of cultivation and that brought you damage for sure. It’s my duty as your lord to make things correct and compensate you for your losses.”
“No lord, this is more than what we lost… Guys, return what you got back to the lord, hurry!”
“No,” I firmly shook my head, shrugging my body free from this dude’s iron-steel like grasp. I turned to all before adding, “if they are really beneficial to you, I promise I’ll try to get you more. But what you got from me is a gift, and it will be rude to return these gifts over to me.”
I said my last words while fixing my gaze over their leader. Wasting a few thousand gems over them? No, it wasn’t even right to call this a waste or a loss!
From what he said, he seemed to know how these gems of mine could be used, properly used. He knew their true value, and it seemed he held these in high regard, a very high regard.
I thought about giving them in exchange for forces from the other universe, their universe. But now? I was glad that this deal wasn’t done.
“But lord…” he looked at the two gems in his hands, seemingly having a fierce struggle in between his immense desire to keep them and returning them back to me.
“Consider this as a gift from a fellow dark shadow master to another,” I said, moving my glaive blunt end to push his hand holding the gems back towards his chest, “keep them. They are my token of appreciation and sincerity.”
“Lord… You just said…”
“See by yourself,” I started forming my first technique, the simplest one. And when it appeared, the face of that leader changed drastically.
“Lord… You… You have the same power as us!!!”
“Sure, why would I come here then and interrupt your training session without such a reason?” I rolled my eyes, turned to all who were sitting on the ground, struggling to take their breaths, “eat up the fruit first and recuperate. I’ll take your leader for a private chat and I promise to return him to you in one piece, but won’t promise to return him anytime soon.”
“Thanks… Lord…” even if they were all in such a weakened state, they struggled to raise their hands and cup them in respect for me.
Wow! It seemed these fruits weren’t just known by their leader, but they also got the true value of these gems.
I watched them consume these gems and in a few minutes, they all got refreshed and stood up on their feet. They all looked in such a shocked state towards me, and I simply nodded, turned to their leader and started to walk away.
“Follow me, this isn’t a suitable place for what we are going to talk about,” and we were going to talk about many things for sure.
I came here and wanted to ask about cultivation and the dark shadow world. And now? I was going to ask first about these gems, or fruits, or whatever.
I led him away, towards a direction with many untouched trees. They seemed to not touch so much of nature here, and just accepted simple life in the middle of such beauty.
“What’s your name?” as we arrived at the edge of a nearby forest, where many green appeared with different colours of weird looking weed, I asked while gazing up and down this fellow.
He was as giant as any other giant race I met before. He got nothing special more than blackness that covered many parts of his body.
Deep black eyelashes, eyes, long curly hair that fell over his broad shoulders, and lots of tiny black dots scattered all over his cheeks, nasal bridge, reminding me of freckles that were famous with my beautiful and sexy female girls.
“I’m Zangibar, my lord,” he bowed his head in respect, “I’m grateful for the lord’s generosity.”
“About that… What do you know about these fruits? Tell me everything you know about,” if I wanted to know, then I first had to admit that I knew nothing about these.
All I knew was that they were products coming out from my necromancer world. I got to know that the artefacts I got were called the magical artefacts, and I was planning to use them all inside my pocket world here.
Gaining advantage of the time difference was something important. After all, all of these artefacts depended on the passage of time to produce something amazing.
