Conqueror

Chapter 44: Introductions

I tried to ignore what these kids just said. I guess they feel grateful they've been released.

I guided them back to my village and they are scared of the goblins as expected. I need to break the barrier between monsters and people huh. For the time being I'll be making them to stay away from the goblins for now.

I went to the house the women were staying at.

"Hi everyone."

"Greetings my lord." They all spoke in unison while bowing.

"My lo- what?"

"Do you prefer us to call you in other terms?" One of the women spoke up.

"No, no. Just call me anything you want. Anyway, I'll be gone for a while."

"Is there something wrong? Do you not like our prescence here?"

"Its not like that. I'm going on a mission. The king of Itz asked me something of importance."

"Then... Bring us with you! We'll help you in any way we can."

"Sorry but you can't. But I do have a request for all of you."

They all looked at each other in confusion. "Wh- What is it my lord? We will do anything we can to help."

"Since I know that you'll be lonely when I'm gone, I'll need you to teach these kids for some time."

"Kids?"

It seems they haven't entered the house yet. "Come in everyone." The kids entered the house worried one by one.

"Papa?" Rea spoke.

"..." The women looked at me dumbfounded.

"Yeah we need to work on that. They're not my kids. Anyway, I need you to guide them to the right direction while I'm gone."

Jam tugged my hands. "Are you going to leave?"

I kneeled down and patted her head. "Yeah I'm sorry. I need to do something. These women will all take care of you."

"Be careful." Despite her age, Mila acted mature.

"Mhm." The others said in agreement.

I stood up and looked at the way of the women. "Oh I forgot, I haven't asked your names."

They grabbed their shoulders and bit their lips. It seems they don't want to remember anything that happened to them. They look like they all want to restart a life.

"I... I'm-"

"I'll just name you all." I cut off one of them. It seems they don't want it to be brought up.

"Thank you."

The youngest was named, Jari, the confident one, Mae, the shy, Parla, the silent one was named Rozy, the one who looked strong and independent, Pam, the one who looked pretty, Ava, the cutie, Charlotte, the one who looks caring, Amelia, the one with the short hair, Harper, the carefree, Ilia, the one with the long hair, Aria, the one who always smiles, Mena, the one who looks uptight, Nora, and Ziley the oldest one.

"Thank you for bestowing us names." Ziley said.

"Mhm. I'll leave in a week. I don't know how long I'll be gone so tomorrow, I'll spend every day I have here. You all must still be confused or lost."

They all wanted to say something but it seems their emotions was overflowing. I'm glad I met them all and had the chance to save them.

"I'll be going for now. I'll be back by midnight. Get comfortable with each other."

They all bowed including the kids.

I left the house and gathered Yefa and Precia.

"What do you need?" Yefa asked.

"A week from now, we'll be going on a mission."

"Mission?" Precia asked.

I filled them all in on the details. On the objectives, current plans and the future plans.

Yefa was still hesitating to answer so she asked a question. "Are we the only ones that'll join you?"

"Yes. This is just a spy mission. We only need to roam around for a couple of days or something. We'll just observe the place."

Precia butted in, "What do we do when we get there?"

"We'll split up. Anyway, do you have movement boosts Precia?"

"No, I don't think so."

I grabbed her head, "Telepathy, Sprint!"

"Waa... A lot of... Information..."

Yefa raised her hand and asked, "How about our communication?"

"I'll keep in touch with Telepathy. The range is practically infinite as long as I know who I'm linking with. Anyway, that's all for now. Can you both follow me? It seems that I forgot that we were supposed to buy some mounts in Hajey."

"Oh yeah I forgot about that."

"Yeah... Can you use your blink?"

"Fine, fine. Is Precia still processing the information? She's basically a stone there."

"She's fine. Wait a few minutes and let's go."

After a few minutes, Precia regained her senses.

We three went ahead and rushed to Hajey to get some mounts. It completely left my mind. I was too preoccupied with what happened in the forest.

We grabbed on to Yefa and let her use blink to get to Hajey faster. It was a 4 second cooldown with a range of 50 meters and that is pretty fast. We take turns running then blinking. We got to Hajey about 4 hours of repeating the same process. It was pretty far.

After we got there, we sat on the grass and tried to catch our breath. We were running non stop using Sprint and Yefa's Blink.

"Let's go shopping."
