Ti passed after that day pretty swiftly.
As Mrs. Thompson ntioned, the Duke simply left his post and ran out of the town with zero explanation.
Though the town folks had little to no effect on them as they continued working on their own. It was as if nothing significant had occurred at all.
And after that day, I beca more involved in creating arrays and spreading them throughout the city, surrounding area as well as the Nahida forest.
In the morning, placing arrays was the main task, while at night I road about the city as Morpheus, collecting information from all over the place.
Just like last ti, I payed myself to protect the sisters and while I was at it; I helped them around the town through the night, teaching them the know-how.
Leena and Anna looked after the shop to the best of their abilities and to be fair, they were more capable than I expected them to be. They perford exceptionally well under my guidance on how to deal with the custors.
And during the night, they showed rather capable fighting abilities against the mages and bandits.
Though the most surprising was Leena. I an, Anna was a genius in her own domain, but Leena's potential in fla magic was a diamond in the rough.
If polished properly, it might shine enough to brighten the entirety of Zarraf.
But that could be done slowly over ti. For now, I decided to focus on their current problem.
While I decided to not [Restart], I actually did it 3 tis.
One was to find out information about Leena and Anna's father. It didn't take much effort, but the result wasn't satisfying either.
Accordingly, their father is not in town, but is the instigator of the entire plan. Or, to be precise, he is working under soone who is planning sothing big. And part of the plan that involves Border Town is under him.
He, along with the leader of the entire thing, will appear on the final day when they will release a huge amount of mana and summon a Greater Demon.
It is sad that it was all I could get even after killing the entire town… but I guess it is better than nothing.
The other two runs were simply being horny and needing to release so tension with Nvida.
After that, the days followed pretty sweetly as usual.
The elves, along with Trisha, followed my commands and helped spread the array. Nvida gave a temporary control through her and I rearranged a bit of the forest geography.
On the other hand, with the help of Mrs. Thompson, who was the current superpower of the city, I arranged an array all over the place, reforming it one step ahead.
Not only that, I managed to tie so loose ends, tying them up carefully, not leaving any opening for the final day.
While Adam can solve everything, I wanted to leave it on Morpheus and Wesker this ti. Using Adam too much can attract unnecessary attention… not sothing that I would like right now.
And 14 days later, after everything was set to the point, and everything was in place to the point that only a Demi-God or above could create a problem for , I finally sighed in relief.
Back at the storeroom where I decided to [Save] after 2 weeks, I laid on the floor and clicked on the system.
[Would you like to Save?]
[Are you sure you want to overwrite?]
[Overwrite complete!]
And then I woke up the next day to the sll of lemonade tea. I then moved out to find Anna and Leena having breakfast.
Moving towards them, I joined them as I asked them if they were prepared for what was going to happen in the following week.
"You an with all the dark mages and stuff? I don't know much… Morpheus asked us to stay low and kill the weaker ones for so experience," Leena answered as I ate a bunch of fruits that went well with the tea.
"Hmmm… Well. That is one of the things he would say. I guess I will give you a bunch of protection arrays as well, just in case," I said as I took another sip from the tea.
"Here," Anna gave a piece of her biscuit, which she didn't like.
I glared at her a little before taking the biscuit and eating it. Patting her head, I then wondered what I should do for the rest of the week.
'Maybe I could give Nvida a bunch of dark mages and then have so fun with her?' I thought while I smiled stupidly.
"What is the connection between you and Morpheus, though?" Leena asked out of nowhere, making look at her.
"I an, other than your mysterious background and unknown power levels, I don't find anything similar between you two," she said as she looked at , curiosity plastered all over her face.
"Well… to be fair, we are nothing but a bunch of kids bound together by fate. We had a common origin, but the direction of growth was different. And obviously our personalities as well.
Brothers in arms kind of thing.
It's not just Morpheus and I, but a few more. We have a common goal that I cannot tell, and we are doing everything to make sure that it happens. Especially the eldest one of us," I spoke as I took another sip.
Leena and Anna observed my face curiously, waiting for to continue, but I stopped there as I ran out of bullshit to make. Don't want it to spiral in a random direction that is too awkward to handle.
"I am not going to tell you anything more than that," I took another sip of the tea, making them widen their mouths..
"Not fair," Anna spoke out. "Yes, I want to know more. Don't leave us hanging like that," Leena was excited by the story as well, it seems.
"Well. Thank you for the food," I spoke as I left those two and moved out of the store, wondering if there is anything that I can do right now.
Or perhaps if there is sothing that I missed?
Moving out, I saw Mrs. Thompson talking to a bunch of people and I waved my hand at her.
Though perhaps she was busy, she didn't notice, so my hand paused in the air awkwardly before I brought it down.
From there, I moved towards the gate, while noticing the sa marketplace and bunch of new faces. Seems like the influx of dark mages is increasing day by day as the ti of summoning is coming closer.
They all looked at the normal people creepily as if they were sacrifices, while the townsfolk looked at those dark mages as if they were objects to be sold.
'Quiet the situation,' I thought as I passed down to et my guy Herath, who was still guarding the gate.
"Brother, why don't you take breaks?" I asked curiously as I looked at him. I already know the answer, but sothing about him liking people pitying him makes wanna ask more.
People like him are easy to control. As long as you make them feel vulnerable and then pity them, they will start opening up to you. You can use that information to gain their trust, and if you even lie to them about soone…
They will believe you over the others, even if they are their own blood.
"What can I say brother? A man needs money to eat, sleep and even breathe these days. If I don't, everything will crumble and you unders…" and he began telling his tale, which I half ignored from there.
I stood there consud in my own thoughts for about a few minutes before I focused back on him as he was still speaking,
"... life isn't easy in the woods as an adventurer-"
"Herath. I would love to hear more about you but for now…" I spoke, making an awkward smile. He paused right there and apologized imdiately.
"Ah! Sorry. I got carried away…. You are going to Nvida forest, right?" He asked as he took out the register and wrote my na on it.
"Yeah. It's fine though, your stories are quite interesting to listen to as well," I spoke as I observed him before waving my hand and then walking away from there.
"Thanks for listening. See you later, Wesker," he spoke with a bright smile as I walked away from there.
Moving towards the area where Trish and the elves were, I walked a bit slowly, checking the arrays that I placed one by one. While it took ti, confirming it was never a bad thing. Who knows what I might find on checking.
And after making sure everything was fine, I then reached the area only to find…
The elves crying out loud.
I moved a few steps closer to them, but Nvida ca in between with an insane fury on her face. She looked at and asked with hatred unlike anything I have seen up until now.
"Was this a part of your plan as well?"
