Chapter 25: my spit will make it grow!

"Then what about everyone who died?"

"..."

"Are you really saying their sacrifice was meaningless? My queen, i may not be as strong as you, nor am i wise as you, but in my short life, i have noticed something: nobody in life lives for themselves. As long as someone is able to love, it is then that their life is no longer their own. It could be a friend, a mother, or anyone else that you have in their heart and they do you. It is at hat moment that you are 'owned.' Your life is no longer your own because you share it with the ones that have you in their hearts.

Your kingdom loves you, and that is why they were all willing to sacrifice their own lives to let you live. Because they entrusted you with their life. So you can live it for them as they could not. If you say you shoul be dead, then aren't you trampling on their love for you?"

"But they are..."

"Dead? Yes they are, but I am alive. Just like how everyone lives for someone, i live for you. Because i love you my queen. Does that not mean anything to you?"

"It does..."

"Then we should live foward, both for each other and the ones who loved us."

Although the pain was still there, after hearing Ena's words, she had at least better than before.

"Thank you Ena."

"It my job my queen."

"..."

After ashort silence passed, the queen spoke once more

"Tomorrow, lets go burry all the goblins on the mountain."

"Yes my queen!"

...

The morning sun sent it's warm day towards the still sleeping Zenn. Not only him of course, but also two other goblins had the privilege of feeling these soothing rays.

And if Zenn was a morning person, he would surely have lord to bask longer in the light. But sadly, he was not. Zenn was one of the millions of creatures that appeared recently in the 20th century.

He was a night owl.

Yes, 20 hours of binge watching a whole anime had turned the once innocent Zenn into a creature of the night. And without the sweet covering of his curtains to shield him from the light, he felt like a vampire exposed to the sun.

Slowly, the tired Zenn got up and massaged his aching temples.

"Was i wrong to decode it all slowly?"

Last night, Zenn had fully 'decompressed' all the information he could. But unlike last time, he did not go at it frantically. He instead gave himself breaks here and there. This was f course to avoid passing out like last time. And indeed, he succeed, he did not pass out, but he was mentally too drawn out. So he still slept without testing out what he could now do.

But unlike last time, his dad was really aching for some reason. So he was not sure if the slow method was the cause or not.

Immediately after he got up, he went up to that certain rock where they kept those bitter fruits. With that, one of the fruits was taken and made to grow large than it already was. Soon, the large piece was already in Zenn's hands.

With a bite from him, Zenn immediately noticed a difference in tasted.

"Its starting to rot."

Sooner or later, it seems they won't be able to depend on the fruits anymore. With this, a frown formed on his face.

"Since the fruits are going to rot anyway, i might as well stop saving them so much." He took another large bite on the fruits, but he suddenly felt a little something get crushed under his teeth. And almost immediately, Zenn spit out the whole thing in his mouth.

On the rock, the two goblins of course did not fail to ear the sound of a lot of sand falling of their gigantic lord. So they had woke up not too long ago.

And when they saw their lord spit out a large amount of food, Ena suddenly remembered a certain legend about the creator.

"Do you think it is true?"

"About what?"

"About the lord's spit. It is said that the lord had omce spat on barren ground and soon found itself fertile in mere seconds."

"Of course it should be true..." the queen said, bit in all honesty, she was a bit doubtful. Although she was not complaining or anything, it would be a lie to say that the creator turned out as she had expected him to be. After all, this lord seems so different from what he was told to be. That means that a lot of tales were not as true as they are told to be.

"The seeds are worse than the fruits."

If the fruits makes you want to avoid the fruit, then the seeds make you feel like hurling.

Taking one of these seeds out of the fruit, Zenn looked at it and sighed.

"Why can't these just grow..."

But he suddenly paused.

"Why can't these just grow?"

Zenn smirked.

"I guess i don't have to worry about food for the time being." He said.

Of course this was not because it was as the legends say and his saliva can make the earth fertile, but instead that he suddenly remember what power he acquired.

Time acceleration!
