? ~Right now the most immediate thing is creating the weapons. Forming trade relations with Grenovarish will get me one step closer to trading with the High-Behemoths. Though I should also try to finish up the quests each day, and steadily progress towards evolution,~ he surmised, before opening his skill tree. New skills seemed to come at random, and he had no sure way of unlocking one. Thus far, he had only unlocked photosynthesis and catalyst conversion through natural means, and the poison skill…-

? Though at least this reminded him about the existence of his quests. He had been so caught up in everything lately that he had even forgotten that his system had features other than the crux. ~If I ever want to reach level 100 and get the dual crux unlock, I've got to start paying more attention to it,~ he thought to himself before calling up his quest screen. ┏━━━━━━???━━━━━━┓ ─────??

"What's inside them?" Avankor asked hesitantly, before stepping forward to get a closer look. Using Elmando, Lucius opened a small section of the container, to reveal its contents. Avankor immediately shook his head once he saw what was inside. "The half you gave us yesterday was a feast for my people, I couldn't possibly take two whole ones from you. And besides, we have nothing to trade in exchange for them. I'm sorry Havon, but I can't accept these," Avankor said. Lucius had been expecting him…

"We're going to take each Gargan corpse back one by one," Lucius replied, with a tired smile. Using Elmando, he created different partitions within the cart for each Gargan corpse, before separating them completely. At best, he could pull two at a time without attracting too much attention, so he would have to leave the other two unguarded. Of course, if he had someone more reliable around he could've left them to guard the remaining corpses. However no such person was here right now, and it wasn't…

"Geyron, have you ever thought about offering your magic as a service for trade?" Lucius asked as he used Elmando to begin moving the carts. Moving two extremely heavy carts simultaneously was quite the exercise, however, it would only help to increase the mastery he had over Elmando, so he wasn't complaining. "Who would pay for such a thing?" Geyron snorted, already walking back towards his cottage. "I would. Name a price," Lucius replied. This prompted Geyron to pause for a moment, before turning…

When they finally reached the homestead, they found a massive cottage-like structure created from uprooted trees in the center of a cleared-out patch of earth. Right in front of the cottage, was a massive fence made from even more trees, these however looked like they had been planted that way initially instead of being placed there. These trees in particular were hardwood trees, similar to the ones that used to grow in the green forest before the decay had caused them all to rot. ~Though it doesn't…

"Similar to the tenth tiers?" Lucius asked in confusion, as Geyron loaded the fallen beasts into the cart. It strained under the heavy weight due to its lack of density, however, the bend wasn't incredibly terrible. At worst, it would probably collapse after several minutes and Lucius could patch it up again. "Apparently the tenth tiers have morphed the section of the forest they live in, much like you are doing right now. However those are just the whispers we've heard around, we haven't actually…

"It even killed the eldest females," Geynor snorted as he side-eyed the beasts that had been hit by Lucius's solar beam. "Wait, eldest females? Are you guys farmers?" Lucius asked in audible shock. After all what other use would golems have for knowing whether a beast was male or female? "Farmer? You speak strange words for a thief. How are you going to pay Geynor and his family back for the damage you caused? It was nearly time for these to be bred. You have caused the loss of at least 4 beast…

~Sigh, okay time for photosynthesis,~ Lucius thought to himself, before looking hesitantly at the exhausted warriors around him. Sure his earth sense could detect any threats in a close radius around him, however, he was still skeptical about having a session without anyone trustworthy around as his full attention would be drawn towards absorbing the sunlight. "I'll be taking a short break to commune with the sky spirits, whilst I'm doing that I'll need all of you to be on high alert," he…

"There is no doubt in my mind that you are an excellent warrior and a valuable asset to your people. However, your position and your talents are not a good match, they are wasted on each other. If there is one right thing you will ever do in your position as king, it'll be to dismantle your current form of leadership, and help your people put those more suited for the task into power," he said finally, before gesturing for Avankor and the others to leave. With this, the entire room was left in…
