For the first ti, we started our day doing exact sa thing. Starting with bath, in the separate parts of the bathhouse, then breakfast in the cafeteria, together. She was grabbing even more attention than yesterday, as a bigger number of people knew about her, and wanted to see her.
I instructed her as soon as she woke up, to not talk about Xuvi, and just say she is from a different world, just like Hatta said during his grand speeches.
As we ca back to my room in the barracks we had to have a conversation about hunting. Since that was sothing she really wanted to do, but there was no way for her to deal with the monsters I was dealing with.
- You need to make a decision Ki'rai - I started.
- What decision? - she looked at surprised, and then sat on the bed.
- You can hunt now, so you need to decide how are you going to do it. You can't kill the monsters in places I'm going to, but I can't go to easier hunting grounds. People would complain, besides I don't want to slow down my progress. You could co with and help spawn the bosses. I can give you so crystals for that, but you won't be fighting this way. At least not for a while.
- I want to co with you - she said without even thinking.
It made smile a bit.
- Ok. Let's go then.
I grabbed my weapon, the big backpack, filled with many smaller ones, and we went outside to buy the necessary things. There was a big group of hunters, standing in line to use the device in the morning light of another hot day under the do. As soon as we showed people looked our way. To my surprise, we actually got to put our hands on the sapling almost imdiately. People gave us permission to ignore the line.
I bought her a small backpack, which we filled with her favorite food. Then I also got her a temporary knife, to use until she gets a magical one from Rishi. Then I bought stuff for myself and packed everything. With that we finally shadow walked to the lizardfolk settlent.
Upon arrival, I dropped the backpack, summoned shadows to protect Ki'rai, and started swinging. A couple of minutes into the massacre, I heard a voice in my head.
- Xuvi just launched their new project of breeding soldiers for their heavy infantry and several ones for developing new types of weapons. Then are using you as their criteria of acceptance, which ans they want to be able to take you down.
- Thanks... For... The... Info... - It was hard to talk while I in the middle of a fight, and had to dodge several blades aiming to take down.
- You realize that you don't need to talk? Don't waste your breath, and just think.
- I'm in the middle of sothing right now - I switched to thoughts.
- I know. I can see.
- So what do you want?
It was hard to think when I was engaged in a fight of such a high tempo. Even when shadow walking around to reposition, I was under constant threat. There were spears and arrows coming my way almost constantly. In the toughest monts also swords.
It was hard to find an empty spot with the numbers around, and I had to make sure nobody goes in Ki'rai's direction.
- Just to inform you. Worst case scenario they will attempt to take you down in so way.
- Did they stop being afraid of you?
- No. That's why I said wors case scenario. For now, they just want to be able to defend themselves from you. This doesn't an it can't go south, that's why I have to keep an eye on them. Everything thank's to you...
- So you just wanted to complain.
- Maybe. You kinda brought back to tis when I was helping Yashasvee'mies beco a formidable warrior. Too bad he turned into a lazy, ambitionless, stubborn idiot. I hope you won't repeat his mistakes.
- Is that a threat?
With every second of this conversation, I was becoming more and more annoyed. The Great One was making lose focus on the battle. I almost got hit few tis just because of that.
- No. At least not yet. You are doing great so far.
- Maybe we will talk about this later? As I said, I'm kinda in the middle of sothing.
He laughed, and that was the end of our little talk. With him gone the fight beca way easier. I cleared the troops in the imdiate vicinity, and made it further, to eventually kill the boss. Then I took a little break.
- You can take whatever you pick for yourself - I said to Ki'rai while sitting down.
Without a word she rushed to compete with my shadows to pick up as many stones as she could. She managed to get as many as her backpack would fit, and then had to give up. It was still significantly more than the amount she could be able to get by herself in the goblin territory, or at rats.
I ate sothing watching them all work together, and after that, we went to sell the score and repeated the whole process at the graveyard. She packed as many as she could fit, while I got the rest.
Tired we returned to the city, to do a bit of shopping, and get a well-deserved bath with so nice and warm food afterward. In the end, I earned 6 055 800 points. With a hundred class points mark, I decided to keep them and use them for new skills.
I really wanted to get the second tier of the 'Drednought', or maybe go for the 'Psion', since stronger ntal defenses were a great thing. Not to ntion the convenience of using 'Telekinesis' in my daily life. There were so many options, and even more still to be discovered.
The day ca to an end with 15 203 030 points remaining on my account, and ninety-three class points.
