589 Dammit Hye! It Hurts!
[Many things actually] I laughed, [but I can’t decide how much I wanted without the price tag]
[Cool! But that would take a day or two]
[No problem. Start sending the experts now]
I moved my chariot towards an empty place not far from the spot Hilary and Angelica were working at. As for Isac, that girl returned back to the village to continue her work there.
*Fwoosh!*
As I reached that spot, and in less than a few minutes, many portals started to flash and open. Large number of races appeared here, with many old looking people.
That impact seemed to have the high level experts in their headquarters for their immense value and rarity. I could imagine the demand over them.
“Hey,” I stopped one dragon rider girl who was flying just nearby, “go and find Hilary for me. Let her come here with her boys.”
“Ok, lord,” the girl’s face changed the moment she noticed me. She hurriedly nodded and said in such respect and veneration before leaving fast.
Was I this scary or what? This wasn’t the first time to experience such a reaction when dealing with these girls.
As the new talents flocked here, and considering their initial large number of talents to begin with, they formed a decent force here that was in the hundreds of thousands.
Yet unlike the races I got and the humans I received before, those guys stood in silence and didn’t make any ruckus or noise.
I kept signing the loyalty contracts of them while Hilary came from far with a large number of her force.
“Wow! You managed to get an army of old folks!”
As she arrived at my chariot, she said in such mockery. She didn’t realise how valuable these talents were.
“Don’t be rude, they are special people that I had to pay a large price to get,” I lied. I just paid for my blue bones, the second lowest grade bones I had right now.
And I had them in heaps hard to count.
“Special? How so?” she blinked twice.
“That’s left for you to figure out…” I started to explain the real value of these talents. I also told her this was just the first batch we would get.
She had to get to know them better, and know how to best use them. She kept nodding, and when I told her about the part of warriors, her eyes shone.
“At last you are taking care of me!”
“Foolish girl,” I jokingly hit her on the head with my left hand, making her touch her head while retreating a couple of steps. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“Dammit Hye! It hurts!!”
“I’m treating you nicely all the time, since when have I mistreated you ever?” I rolled my eyes before adding, “these warriors aren’t just for you, but for the entire team and their trusted and capable subordinates.”
“But I’ll get the most out of them,” she said with a cute face, “I’m you girl, right? And you have to treat your girl better.”
“Sigh!” I raised my head and looked at the bright sky. As Isac told me before, this world changed its light and now it was a pale pink coloured sun up there. “Fine, take whatever you want. But don’t take too much, ok?”
“Promise,” she jumped and hugged me while a broad smile was on her face.
“Go down now, start working with those folks. Don’t forget to treat them nicely.”
“I always treat others nicely.”
“They aren’t like the races we got before,” I stressed over this point. “Also plan a place for them to stay. They will bring their families over. Handle this matter as well.”
“How will they bring them?”
“I… dunno yet,” this part was something I missed to ask. And I planned to ask Silverlining when we talk again.
As I stood up there, I watched her start working with her boys. I sent a message to all the new talents here, asking them to follow the instructions of her as she would be their leader from now on.
I was curious though about how they would help my kingdom. But that was something left for the later times.
[I have to do something else] After an hour of watching, I felt bored. I wanted to get back to Earth, to check over the teams I sent and get the latest news from the frontline.
That jumper jerk was busy out of late. He hasn’t sent me a single message or showed his face since the last time I lost consciousness.
He spoke about pushing with his monsters up north. The lands there were now covered in ice, but that would change in the upcoming merging processes.
The ice would melt, dense rivers would be formed. That cold part of the world would become warm, and the all cold white world out there would turn green.
But wasn’t there another human powerhouse there? I had to see what that jerk would do with that prodigy.
I didn’t want to start a big war between humans. For the best, we should sit at a round table and discuss alliances.
As other races did, we should learn to let go of our differences and ambitious plans and desires, and try to unite for the better of our race.
But something told me the problem wouldn’t be in that powerhouse, but in the jumper. He never showed interest in expanding my lands to a certain direction.
He said he wanted to join the epic fight up north between the three races. That was a good reason indeed, yet I felt it wasn’t the real deal.
He wanted to clash with the powerhouse in the north. But why? I had to get to the bottom of this before this bastard would cause a big trouble that I wouldn’t be able to solve.
Besides, the situation here was changing fast. The mysterious enemy was doing his best to demolish everything I built with effort and sweat.
The next quest would be a big war, I could already sniff the gunpowder. So letting that jumper walk away with such sizable and strong force was a mistake.
