Chapter 1158: A Week Later
Chapter 1158: A Week Later
Through the whole week we've been mostly working without stop, and talking and learning about the tower, so I had little time for myself, but today was different. After learning so much so far, the feeling of wanting more adventure and descending the tower only grew larger within me, and with these Murim guys constantly reminding me about it, I kind of want to get going already.
I know I've been away for over a month, but even now, I already wanted to go somewhere else. It wasn't that I felt no attachment for the people here, but to be honest, after the Majin woke up, things have become much more autonomous, they're good at handling people, and goblins and rabbit-kin have grown both stronger and also very capable.
I think that we'll be leaving in a couple of days from now. Although relaxing was my priority, with the incoming reunion between all the rulers of the continent of Midgard in the Empire of Light, and also about the incoming war at the end of the year, I can't really slack off anymore, I want to descend and find out what's going on, then come back.
But before that, I needed preparations, and also to learn more about the world too. This morning, I was going to ask Frigga a few more questions, to see if what I was going to do would be good, or if it would be better to remain here.
"Phew! All done in this area, Maria!" Emeraldine ran to my side wearing cute farmer clothes. "We've expanded the farm very far and wide! Although we got big farms in the dungeons too, it is nice to have them close to our home as well."
She had been helping me with her useful Nature Magic and Earth Magic by digging through the wound, adding nutrients, and more, to make it perfect for planting all kinds of things.
"It sure does," Brunhild sighed in relief, the beautiful sister of Lucifer had been hanging out with us since we came back. "I think it's all up to you now, little Cecil."
"Alright!" Cecil spread out his little hands, as he smiled cutely. "{Water Spirit Blessing Rain}!"
FLUOSH!
A rain of bright azure water rained down on all the crops, the seeds were already planted, quickly making all the plants grow larger and germinate with the help of Emeraldine's nature magic.
"That was amazing, Celes!" Nyx said, bringing with her a rat she caught. "Want some rat?" "W-What? No thanks..." Celes was a bit shocked she brought that with her mouth.
"Well, more for me!" Nyx ate the rat with a single bite.
Yeah, she liked cleaning farm fields and eating... Anything she found, dragon stomachs were strong, so I wasn't worried she would get a stomachache. As the sun shone brightly above the skies, bathing us with its bright sunlight, we moved back to the village.
We were greeted with a beautiful, developing village, now with paved streets and many houses lined up, with our help, we were able to finally finish a big project they were doing within less than a week, and now the village was housing over three hundred different houses. "Things have sure progressed lately," Jonathan said, walking by my left side. "People seems happy... Everyone seems rather busy in their jobs, and well, there's sustainability too, right?" "Yeah," Lucifer nodded. "They can perfectly fend for themselves now... They barely if ever need our help, to be honest. We've done a good job, Maria."
"Yeah... About that," I said. "I've been considering moving down to the tower in a week from now, or less... Are you okay with that? I know some of you want to stay here more, but things are quite urgent even now and..."
"Of course we'll go! Why not?" said Partner.
"We know you've been thinking about it for a while now," nodded Emeraldine. "You've been quite absent minded most of the time."
"Yeah sis, I've noticed it too," Arthur said. "You want to go to Earth, don't you? It is where your soul originally came from? I didn't knew you were a reincarnated person but that explains a lot of your antics..."
"Hahahah... You got me," I laughed a bit, slightly nervously. "Sorry... I love this place, and I wish I could relax all I wanted and wait for the babies to be born but... Um, I really want to go."
"The kids will be born when they're born, you don't have to wait for it," said Nia by my side, kissing my cheek. "It has only been roughly a month since the pregnancy anyways, so our bellies aren't even big yet. Don't worry."
"We can go!" Partner nodded. "I ain't letting any kid stop me from slaying some bastards."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Um, but I think you should cut down the wine for now, Partner," said Emeraldine. "We're pregnant after all, it's dangerous to drink alcohol."
"What?! Aren't we all like overpowered beings, I doubt it matters!" Partner said. "Our kids will surely be super strong, I betcha!"
As the girls seemed willing to come with me, I saw Lucifer and Jonathan.
"Of course we'll go to, if you insist," said Jonathan. "I want to know about Earth myself, sounds like quite the interesting world!"
"Me too," nodded Lucifer. "Though, I still have many questions about the tower we should ask before going down, I think."
"Yeah, met too," I nodded. "What about you, Mist, Celes? Do you want to come with us?"
"I want! I want!" Nyx was excited. "Visiting another world must be crazyyy! I can't miss that, mama!"
"If mom and Nyx are going, then I go too..." Celes seemed a bit afraid of visiting another world but was coming anyways.
"Alright... I guess we're going on a family trip of sorts?" I laughed. "We might have to take a few stops along the way, especially on the world of Murim. There are things that we need to solve there. Also I believe there's a lot of opportunities to grow stronger there, so we have to
take them."
As I talked, we moved to the kitchen of our castle, now repaired, and refurbished completely, looking pristine and beautifully new, and started cooking breakfast.
As we did, Frigga appeared, yawning.
She had just woken up, what a life goddess...
