Chapter 12- Telling a Story

The workers quickly brought in the next item. This item is rumored to be a remnant from the early settlers of the continent.. It's said ancient cultivators were much more talented than most.. This item can only be operated by a couple of people, which produces a violent array. The more the cooperation the better the result.. Sky is the limit. If you get this time, your side's attack capability will improve by large margins.. There was a few seconds of silence after Fowliang ended the representation.

Due to high costs of procuring this artifact, the opening bid is twenty thousand coins.. Please place your bids..

High level bidders joined in the action from the start this time.. Which made many small time bidders unhappy, as they slumped their shoulders..

Perhaps we could see a demonstration... If we are to bet more...

Well, we aren't the owner of the item.. we are just selling it... so we can't do that.. But i assure you, it's been checked thoroughly.. We've the document signed with blood, as well as full description of instructions..

Well then...

Larchen sipped his drink.. He had this sense of being superficial.. He looked around amusedly.. He thought bout oceans.. with dark storms

Larchen.. Fowliang warned.. come back, to reality..

Maybe there are languages no body can read...

Larchen... are you drunk ?

You are so sweet.. and light on your feet.. And so, beautiful.. and modern... Who am i even...

Larchen...

Even at nine thousand worlds, nobody more beatiful than you..

Fowliang blushed like an idiot.. Crowd consituted it as a sigh of honesty... The auction continued on..

A woman in green dress called a bid, she didn't appear to have much interest.. Perhaps i'll use it as a decoration, she hmphed, angering others..

Hey you skeleton.. don't look down on us poor ones..

What did you say bastard ? She squinted her eyes..

She looks like she is undead..

Alright, time for a small break... Someone interjected.. We'll continue in a few moments..

Hey Larchen.. Fowliang nudged..

What..

Answer a few questions for me will you ?

Sure.. Larchen resigned to his fate..

Do you like.. death ?

What like necromancy ?

You like life right ? Like how i am... so organic..

Hmm, what are you talking about Fowliang ? Larchen laughed..

I know that woman, who was called skeletor.. There were three of us back then.. We roamed the land doing quite
a bit together, then we sorta went our ways..

Ah, okay..

Actually, we numbered like seven..

Okay.. what is this a poem ? spit it out..

Hey.. stop drinking, you are almost underage.. You have been acting strange, anyway... This story will definitely please you, i know you are bored as hell..

Hmmh, hmm .. Larchen managed to say..

Anyway, we managed to work great together, so we eventually went over the border.. We weren't very strong... but we weren't weak by any means..

And i'm sure you were the most beautiful woman on that side of the world...

Fowliang blushed... stop.. that.. seriously.. Anyway that woman.. she was a realy vily one back then.. She was so deadly in the field and in the sack..

Obviously, Larchen nodded..

So, we are celebrating a succesful fight afterwards, right ? There is a crowd of peasants too..

Larchen nodded...

So after that we were ordered to go west, which was a much more chaotic region.. They gave us a list of people to hunt down.

Larchen frowned..

Listen to my tale properly.. then i'll reward you properly.. So we are doing this mission.. We of course didn't care whom we killed.. it was a different time.. We did some.. evil acts then.. on the enemy territory.. We called her fourth sister then, she did her share of killing. One time, we burned down entire village in which our adversaries took shelter.. we burned the surrounding forest ... One of the people we were hunting were known as a venerable historian who has been exiled due to his treachery.. It was vital that we brought him justice.. Our deeds was much more well-known after that time.. We became a huge sensation.. More members joined.. We got more funding.. I even was rewarded a northern cabin... Everyone sang our praises.. Although we did commit bad acts, it was a war zone, so more people starting to act like how we did..

So, did you decorate the cabin ? Larchen asked innocently..

Fowliang smiled a slow smile.. Don't you get yours enough ? Why so horny all the time ? I even plop children for you like dropping eggs.. My bottom is too sore.. half of the time.. I think i'll get some chronic disease at this pace..

Well, you resist too much.. Larchen joked innocently..

At least don't switch holes.. its unhygenic..

I've to plant my flag, or other tribes will move in eventually..

What are you drinking anyway ?

Fermented Bat-wing tea...

So, eventually, after the war some people started hating us.. They complained about social responsibility and how we were a bad example to others.. We of course doubled down, and recruited more members.. Eventually mob caught most of us.. some of us were hanged brutally.. The mayor barely saved some us, since he remembered how we saved the town back then.. So he offered a deal to us remaining. We drew up some agreement..

Our gang was reduced to fifteen members.. And there was to be regular evaluations..

Um, so, how does this relate to your friend ?

She was the first ranking member among us, she was so talented, and had the approval of all instructors all across the sect.

You aren't gonna suggest i give her a quick roll in the hay, are you ? For old times sake ?

There is no i in threesome.. Larchen, wanna die ? Anyway, Last i see her, she was back to working at the sect forge. Give or take fifty years ago. She looks strange, and i suspect something is strange, be very careful. She feels off somehow..
