"Oops" I whisper as I see that the vocal cords of the leader I was going to interrogate were completely destroyed.
"Let's fix that" I say to him, "You can fill me in on all the juicy details after I'm done with this little surgery" I smile at this part, "don't worry this won't hurt a bit"
With no anesthetic in hand I open his mouth and imitate his vocal chords with some vines that I created. I made sure to sprinkle some natural healing powder that naturally grew in this realm onto his chords so as to not let him die.
Tears were flowing out of his mouth at this point but I made a mistake.
The chords could only be controlled by me. I informed him of this and told him how I would have to do this again but this time connect them to his muscles so as to let him use them.
…
"Aaand all done" I happily cheered, the blood on my face giving me a terrifying visage, I made sure of it.
He was on the ground sobbing asking me to stop. Seemed like whoever trained him didn't train him for surgeries. How negligent.
"Ah ah ah" I started, "no crying for you, you can't do that until you tell me all about this little kingdom of yours"
Desperate to comply he starts babbling about this and that.
…
By the time that he was done, I knew of his entire life story.
It went something like I was born, I went to school, I was trained, then I was sent here.
There was more but it was so boring I had zoned out and gotten nothing. So went to one of the lesser dryads and had him wrung of any useful information.
"Report" I say to the dryad next to me.
"Yes, Melia" she responds, "he didn't know to much but we were able to get that the
…
It was at the setting of the sun that I woke up with a start. I had forgotten to summon for the day, I only had one chance every day to summon and I had almost forgotten today.
Aoif had woken up at my startled movements and wiping her groggy eyes asked me what I was doing.
"I'm just summoning" I quickly explained before putting on my clothes and rushing downstairs. The timer for the summoning reset every midnight so I still had time judging by the fact that the sun had just set.
I didn't need to rush seeing as there was probably still an hour or so before the summoning reset but I didn't want to risk it. Every summon, even the repeats are valuable resources that I could not afford to waste. Especially this early into the realm competition, seeing as we were most likely going to be invaded the second that the veil protecting this realm was broken.
I didn't run but I did rush, and soon I was before the summoning pool. I did run into Melia who was strangely carrying a bloody sack however I could question her after I had summoned for today and tomorrow seeing that I was already out.
Standing before the summoning pool I mentally command it to summon.
'Summon'
Before me six green lights appeared before coalescing into smaller figures until they were the size of a medium sized dog.
The lights vanished and what was left were six dog sized ants.
…
[Species: Gold Digging Ant]
[Tier/Level:8/1]
[Skills:None]
[These ants when creating their mounds are said to choose places rich in gold. Once upon a time a Great Emperor had unearthed a mound of Gold Digging Ants and found a horde of gold dust bringing great prosperity to his Empire.]
Looking at the ants there was nothing that I really could do with them. From their description it seems like they are good at finding gold which right now isn't very useful since we don't operate off of a monetary system at the moment and there is no one to trade the gold to for resources or items.
I guess for now I would just have them nest and passively gain me gold which could be useful in the future.
…
[00:03][00:02][00:01]
With that final countdown the summoning pool reset allowing me to summon once again.
Commanding the pool to summon another 6 lights flash and then grow into more hinds.
[Species: Ceryneian Hind]
[Tier/Level: 6/1]
[Skills: None]
[The Ceryneian Hind are fast on their hooves being able to travel great distances in the span of minutes they can also snort fire.It is said that the goddess Artemis uses 4 legendary Ceryneian hinds to pull her chariot]
They weren't the greatest but we could always use them for the transportation of resources and protection of the territory.
Before I could head back I commanded the hinds to head over to the rest of their pack where the leader of them could settle them in.
With that last command I was done for the night and I could finally go back to bed.
…
Returning to the house and entering the bedroom again I could see that Aoif was still wide awake. Her head propped up on the headboard, a smile blooming on her face as she saw me walk back in.
Her hands grew outstretched as if to ask me to just fall in them.
Unconsciously a smile grew on my face as I absentmindedly discarded my clothes and got into my pajamas.
After that was done I took her up on that offer and fell into her bosom, her arms pulling my back into her.
Closing my eyes I fell into blissful sleep.
…
Before I knew it it was day again and I had to wake up. Aoif by my side like usual was not awake either so I woke her up.
We took a shower together where some light petting happened but nothing other than that.
Once we were out of the shower we ate breakfast prepared for us by Tama.
"I'm going to hunt down the swamps realm protector today, have the Aethon scout it's location" I say to Tama who herself was eating at the counter.
