45. Hidden Salamander
So, Layla and the Waylon guy are gone now.
They told me about Robert’s “grand” Plan to invade me with a large Group.
Seems like he saw an opportunity in something or so.
Layla also bought the Eagle.
The price amounted to 13500 Gold.
I am for now good on Money, but not for long.
Living Home | 100000 |
I would have 940 Gold left if I would buy it.
But it could be worth it.
And I can delay to sell the Lizard until Layla raised enough Money when I need something.
Living Home |
An Attendant who attends your needs. A Friend you can converse with. A Home to live in. And your own personal space. For some, you might even be a God inside the Rooms. |
And with that, I have only 940 Gold left.
For now, I should probably organise the Things for the Lizard I plan to do.
Since I really don’t have a plan what I should do to converse with the Home.
I remember that there was a Japanese Yokai of Sorts, who inhibits Housing.
Zashiki Warashi, or similar.
But those were Pranksters, form my understanding.
I really hope the Person behind won’t cost me my nerves.
As I turn around, I see an unusual sight.
There stand a Woman with Shoulder Long blond hair in a straight posture and her hand behind her Back.
Her eyes are closed and she has a ponytail.
What’s the most surprising is her Uniform.
It isn’t some kind of Maid-Uniform or so, no, it’s Butler clothing.
The clothes are all tidy and in place, without a single wrinkle.
The Buttons are on the symmetry-axis and the seams symmetric to it.
If there would be a sensation in the room that everything is lightened evenly in this room, I swear her shoes would reflect light like a mirror.
”Hey.”
”Greetings, Mistress.”
Great. Just Great.
WHY GOD, ISN’T THERE A SINGLE NORMAL PERSON!
I don’t think even I am completely normal, just to clarify.
But I am not someone especially weird.
She didn’t even open her Eyes till know!
And after the Bow, she takes this Perfect position again.
”I will excuse myself for now.”
”Mistress, I could collect the necessary Materials, if you wish.”
”No, unless you can perfectly understand what going on in my head.”
”I am sorry, I don’t.”
”Don’t apologise for not having such a creepy ability!”
I said it myself, but it’s scary how she apologised like she should be able of that.
Better to quickly get all the necessary material.
…, she teleported me to the Storage Room?
*inhale* *sigh*
”Mistress, would you like to rest?”
”I will look out for what i need and then decide if I want to rest.”
Now that she says that, resting seems to be tempting.
When did I last go to sleep, actually?
Should have invested in a clock.
Well, let’s look what I can get.
Let’s have Flesh first. Crocodiles Flesh, how is that? Seems good.
For an Skeleton just a large Salamander Skeleton.
The Legs are a bit weird, and the Proportions aren’t one to one, but it’s what one can expect.
Uhh, Organs. Reptile Organs. The one broadly applicable. Should I take special Eyes?
Naahh, not when I do a creature that big. I do a small one if I want to.
For Claws. Hmm hmm.
Yeah, I a, gonna with some cheap one, which are retractable.
I plan suction Cups and bite attacks. Making unnecessary sounds would be stupid.
So, for the Feet, I will need some Suctions Cups.
I should look at the skims first, to see what additional organs I will need.
Have some. Perfect for Ambush Predators.
They aren’t high Functional, but should be able to hold the Body well and don’t cause much strain.
Moving fast and sneaky on wall will be only so so, but at least quietly and slow will be possible.
Good enough, if they find a good spot to climb at.
For Organs, also just basic ones.
No need for excessive Functions.
Even though some could double down as an Method of Attack, it would be wasted.
Whats next.
The skins is Dark, good for camouflage and so on.
Bit I already cheap out on some functions, so some scales at least.
Black Big Reptilian Scales.
But I don’t plan to cover him at the, more like sprinkling them.
A bit more defence and protection for Vital Areas.
They also reflect badly, so a tiny win to stealth.
Did I forgot something?
Tail? No that should be covered, when I don’t plan to make it fall off.
Ohhh, bite!
Or rather, Thoth’s! I forget the Teeth!
Now, I can’t get too stingy on them.
Well, let’s also hame some Crocodile Teeth’s.
Or should I search for more vicious one?
Like, some that make the target bleed even more?
Yeah, let’s search for some.
Said and done, I found some interesting teeth.
It’s made from incisors who are kind of wavy.
I think Wavy blades are the one who hurst so much, but I am not sure.
But the price are the “molars”.
The have a sharp tip and something similar to bloodletting lines.
I remember to have heard from somewhere that even in the Stone Age, vicious harpoons from Animals Bones were used.
The Tip had hooks to gauge the flesh when ripped of and lines caved into it to let blood flow.
Said Blood flow was blood loose for the Animals, which made escape a big burden.
I wonder, is there some kind of skill which make one grow stronger though blood?
Ohhhhhh.
Blood Bath Lv 1-10 |
The more one bask in the Blood of oneself and one’s Enemies, the stronger they get. At a certain point, one will even go Berserk and try to mutilate everything living in the Surroundings in the best possible way to release the Blood from them. One’s strength, Defence and speed gets increased, corresponding to the shed blood. Effect increases with Level. |
If that isn’t interesting.
Ahh, I feel kind of sluggish.
I should probably go to bed now.
