Chapter 79 - Peace

       

       

       Larchen really is the cancer among our fold..  eh ? He isn't even human..  Perhaps we can negotiate with his real self, a more humanly thing,

       instead of this genocidal child...

       

       Ehm, chieftain, it only follows logic, the clone only obeys the original.. in this case

       

       But won't he stop interfering in our world's matters and collect his puppet eventually ?

       

       Eventually, yes, it of course will happen.

       

       Ah but our society is, used to its comforts.. And they are.. unaware of the danger... Too comfortable in their... ways.

       

       Then let us be friends...  I don't see why not ? It the better way, free trade and individuality.

       

       Well, let us discuss another topic then.. we are in need of an expert... 

       

       What kind ? maybe we ca help

       

       We had.. some ventures in a nearby desert, a relic of our ancestors..  The previous council had managed to lost the means to get in the tomb..

       

       Ah a grave robber ?

       

       This relic helps us unite the tribes.. We'd be really grateful.. it'd be peace..

       

       Hmm, we've caught a wandering criminial recently, he is rotting in our dungeons, since we've no proof... 

       

       Because he's so good ?

       

       Indeed... She almost created official disasters, but it surely improved our security efforts around the fortress and issue was swept under the rug.

       

       I'll take the issue up with our council, however.. let us move ot other items in the agenda, since we are negotiating..

       

       You re going to ask about our tiger portals ?

       

       The what ? ... Perhaps you mean the horrors.. that walk via dimensional parts..  The traveler fixed his posture and cleared his throat.. Ehm, Indeed, we're

       curious enough about he subject..

       

       The chieftain laughed.. While other tribe leaders were snorting.. Chieftain raised his hand. We need some goods.. we are in fact in urgent need of them..

       

       And we need food.. the negotiations went on...

       

       

       .....

       

       

       So how is it ?  The assistant asked...

       

       I managed to learn, via unofficial channels, There is trouble on the countryside, villages need medicine, trade is unterrupted.. something is more

       than it seems here...

       

       You mean like a quest, and pirates...

       

       Ehm, sure, something like that.. 

 

       ..........

 

 

       I'm putting bad grades on your account Larchen, what an animal you are...

       

       I'm just doing research...  on economy of the elder skin..

       

       Shut up, you are dirtying my courtyard with your acid bacteria..

       

       Whoa...

       

       I'm bleeding... 

       

       In your heart or ?

       

       Both i guess..

      

       Ehm what should i do ? Larchen looked dumbfounded.  He looked at Fowliang... expecting her reaction

       

       Anyway, it was fun.. she said, batting her eyelashes.. I came like three times.. just don't push me anymore.. you are doing it

       on purpose..

       

       I'm the key, and you are the lock...

       

       See ? Doing it on purpose.. 

       

       Wanna do more ? things ....? Larchen slipped the question casually..

       

       Keep the sanctity of our marriage intact... at least.. as i be the sacrifice.. As the vessel for the disease you are... Consideer me.. corrupted

       

       Stop.. Larchen rolled his eyes.. You are the one attacking me...

       

       How did you interpret things in this manner exactly... You dare to claim i seduced you ? All the way back then, perhaps you think i faked my weakness on purpose...

       

       We are in infinite harmony, nobody faked anything.. We're just.. lucky..

       

       Its truly has been funny to watch you navigate life with your little politically oriented mind... Amusing.. Its like a bacteria who refuses to perish...

       

       Larchen couldn't help but grin..

       

       I'm forbidding you your usual schnenigans, enough is enough.. Do it right.. correct holes.. No, i slipped my mistakeand my solar art just activated on its own anymore, it not

       amusing.. No more, imagine you re this, 

       

       Fine, fine, Larchen added crisply..

       

       Don't use the second hole.. i'm warning you..

       

       You were biting my thing 2 minutes ago..

       

       .....

       

       

       Mechanical Larchen were training. He was doing frog punches, and sparring with the pagoda ghost constructs.. He wasn't able to cultivate much, since he

       was an artifical inteligence. He wasn't even sure how to really..

       

       The men worked on the clock, morning and night, to gather materials from nearby rock ledges and forests.. The scouts were exploring the countryside, for

       they were rapidly mapping and learning about the land. This part of the continent was quite big, almost as big as the middle section, it sounded easily

       crossable in theory, but in reality, it was huge.
