More than a month quickly went by.
Within this time, Zick tried using the regretful necklace upon himself after killing one of the well-known side characters of the novel, only to find out that it had no effect.
For unknown reasons, the necklace lost its effect on Zick. Many ways were tried, like passing the ownership to Yuriel and using it on himself and many more.
But all of it failed with no exception.
In the first place, the information about the regretful necklace was very inadequate. This kind of phenomenon was most likely just one of its functions.
'Haha, Well of course the person who made it would do such a thing. If not, it would be possible to visit the doll gallery again and again.' Zick heaved a sigh and let the matter go.
If he could not do anything about it, why waste time worrying about it?
Zick just moved on to the next thing, the construction of the golems.
With all the resources gathered from the Jhesker alchemy tower, the Everlor organization, and the Lectic mountain region, more than 15 million golems with peak rank strength were created.
And to top it up, some golems could use the material they gathered from killing and use it to create more golems. These intelligent golems could learn too, in another word they could modify the golems by themselves.
All this modified golems data would be sent to the secret lab's database, which was enhanced too.
To store them, Zick used all the space rings he gathered from all around the place. Most of them came from members of the Everlor organization.
More than estimated, around 500 master-grade golems were created. Of these, 32 of them had peak master rank strength.
And for the last, five quasi-grandmaster ranks and one grandmaster rank golem were created.
The grandmaster grade golem was made from the minotaur, making it a kind of biological golem too.
While the five quasi-grandmaster rank golems were made from the new Blueprint Yuriel created. Her supercomputer-like brain was able to make their draft easily.
There was still a lot of material in Zick's storage. If there was any need for it, he could just take it from any one of the three alchemy towers.
The time for the imminent disaster was coming closer. In three days, the Eastern continent would be thrown into peril that they might never recover from.
Most of the soldiers from the Eastern continent were gathered in a single place too. They were preparing for war, but for Zick, It was like they were making things more convenient.
....
Arianell sitting on the corner of the bed hugging a soft teddy bear in small arms had slumped shoulders. The teddy bear was a gift that Zick gave to her a week ago.
Unlike in the beginning, Zick was able to move away from her!
After working hard, Zick was able to make it so that Arianell understood that he couldn't be with her all the time. Like doing many tasks before her, or faking tiredness.
Another fact was also realized while Zick took care of Arianell, she was actually not timid when faced with others!
Arianell was only timid with Zick, making him a little relieved. Timidness could lead to cowardly decisions, it wasn't something that he needed.
Zick's room was plain with nothing special.
Arianell fixedly looked at the door, waiting for Zick. She was currently wearing a luxurious dress with glistening pink jewels.
"Mam, may I read a story for you?" A butler asked. It was a golem that Zick made with intelligence and emotions a few stages below humans, but it was totally loyal to Zick as programmed.
"...." Arianell ignored the butler golem. Her height grew by a lot in this month, she looked comparable to a six-year-old child. Her strength was also at the top of peak rank mage, according to Zick.
In reality, this golem had a special purpose of its own. It was to send a signal to Zick the moment any weird thing happened to Arianell.
Swish~ Zick appeared along with a teleportation circle below his feet.
Zick knew better than anyone that it was not good to leave Arianell alone for more than an hour. Loneliness was not something she could bear.
Arianell put aside the teddy bear on the bed and ran to Zick, signaling to pick her up.
Seeing this, Zick felt bitter internally: 'She is as silent as ever, huh?'
Zick held Arianell in his arm, unlike before, her nose reached up to his nose.
'She is growing really quick but...I really wish that she would behave like a normal kid...'
He tried giving Arianell things to play with but she got bored of it in no time.
Zick tried sending her on a trip with Yuriel or Levienel too, but Arianell shook her head, rejecting it with no hesitation!
"Sigh...Butler, stay in this room for now. No one will be visiting for a while." Zick vanished activating another magic circle.
Zick and Arianell were going on a trip now.
With Arianell growing rapidly, her sleeping time fell to 10 hours a day.
After considering it for a long time, Zick chose a spot for them to go on a trip
The innumerable flower garden.
The innumerable flower garden was located in the Gorthect empire. It was a place that anyone could visit, it was artificially created by them. It was one of their pride.
....
The Sevielt city.
The next time Zick opened his eyes, a normal room greeted him. Arianell in his arm snuggles closer to his chest, settling into a more warm and comfortable position.
Even Zick had to admit that Arianell was very cute, it gave him peace of mind.
Without a word, Zick got out of the room and headed towards the flower garden leisurely. He had dozens of protective devices on him and his battle strength was also reaching quasi-grandmaster rank, so there were not many things that could threaten him.
Walking on the streets of Sevielt city which was a huge commercial city, many people filled the sidewalks.
It was the first time for Arianell to move into such a busy place, she looked forward closely.
They soon arrived at the west of the city, where the innumerable flower garden was located.
Many people stood in multiple long lines waiting to enter. It cost a platinum coin for one member to enter, which was quite costly.
With no hesitation, Zick activated the item he had on his wrist. A transparent black glow covered both Zick and Arianell before they vanished in thin air.
Strengthening his legs with aura, Zick leaped into the air, and at once the beutiful sight of the flower garden entered both of their sights. There were flowers as far as Zick and Arianell's eyes could see. This flower garden covered around 3 kilometers of area, which was very large.
Propelling himself using magic, Zick arrived right above the center of this garden, where a huge fountain was located.
Seeing Arianell starting with interested eyes, Zick spoke in a calm voice: "It's an admirable sight, right?"
Arianell nodded her head immediately, bringing a bitter smile to Zick's face. No matter what he says, Arianell would agree to it immediately normally like this.
After landing in a place covered with bushes and flowers, Zick undid the invisible device's effect. He walked to the road of the garden with a plain face.
Many people were roaming around the huge plaza of the flower garden. Many stalls were also selling their goods around this plaza.
In the middle of this, Zick and Arianell looked like normal father and daughter who came to enjoy their time. Well, of course, if their expressionless faces were ignored.
But still, they both had very attractive faces which made many people stare at them. No one neared them as Zick walked to the flower to which Arianell seemed to be most attracted.
People moved away as if they were beings that could not be neared too easily. With Zick's suit and Arianell's beutiful clothes, they looked exactly like nobles.
Walking before the purple flower which glowed mysteriously, Zick looked at Arianell who was staring at a flower. Suddenly, she turned her head away as if lost interest.
'....She loses interest quickly like ever.' Zick noted down mentally.
Zick moved to the fountain, where most of the people were gathered. He placed Arianell on the grey wall around the reservoir of the fountain and he himself sat upon it too.
Seeing this, Arianell smiled slightly and started playing with the water like the other kids.
But it didn't last long, Arianell lost interest in it rather quickly.
'Well, it is my fault to think that a dragon's child would be normal.' Zick calmly accepted.
Zick got up and picked up Arianell who sat beside him silently.
Walking to the stall, Zick looked at Arianell: "What do you want?"
Arianell shook her head, she let Zick choose whatever he felt to be appropriate.
Buying some skewers, Zick and Arianell sat on one of the benches, eating the skewer in silence.
'Is this how trips are supposed to be? Quite dull from what I expected.....' This was Zick's first trip ever too.
