Chapter 33

Early in the morning , the gathering was bustling with busy people . Some demons began readying their stalks and some demons from the outside asked for what's in their stall .

Sherwin immediately brought Kryst , Nabi and Kathryn around and continued the shopping that they did not finished yesterday.

Nabi brought Kathryn with her who was in a monkey onesie with dangling slender tail to a stall . The stall owner is a sparrow demon and has a rather gloomy and sharp appearance but Nabi was not scared. 

Nabi adjusted Kathryn's position and supported Kathryn's butt before leaning over the sparrow's stall and asked . " How much for an information exchange? "

The sparrow demon looked up from his hood then turned to look at their peculiar clothing of immitating animals . The sparrow then nonchalantly answered.  " It depends about the quality of the information you wanted to exchange with .

The sparrow has a wide range of connection in this gathering and he's indeed a stall that deals with intelligence .

" I want to exchange an information regarding the location of salt lake nearby . How much should we exchange for it . "

Although most demons could eat cooked food like humans , most of them eat raw food . Salt doesn't matter to them as they could replenish their sodium intake by drinking blood from their prey.  Information about salt like that only humans would want is cheap within the gathering of demons as they regarded salt as nothing within their eyes. 

The sparrow nonchalantly opened the drawer of the stall desk then picked up a map before spreading it on the table .

The sparrow then pointed at the continent of west wilderlands then pointed at the northern region. 

" As you can see , most of the salt lakes were located in the mainlands of the humans here at the northern region.  You go a bit east , then you will find the Demonic Lion Clan here . Starting from this place , you see this eastern mountain here? This mountain is the gathering you're in right now , it is located far away from the mainlands .  I bet you came from the southern part of the wilderness . "

Han Nabi nodded because that was the part which is closest to the border of the eastern continent .

Kryst at the side looked at the map and saw the arrangements of some familiar places.

Mainland - north

Demonic Lion Clan - Northeast

Eastern Demonic Mountains - East

The perilous snowy summits( the one he trained at ) - middle east

Cannibal Tribe Territory - Middle East

Humid Forest - Southwest

Red Fox Tribe - South West

Second Red Fox Tribe - near mid west

Cow Territory - southeast

Kryst arc up his brows , he thought that the Humid forest was located southeast , he was actually facing the wrong direction. The Red Fox Tribe's former territory was actually located southwest not south east.  Kryst is not good at determining direction and thought their direction was east and couldn't help face palming in inner embarrassment. 

The sparrow then pointed at the middle part near the eastern mountains , but is still nearer to the border of the mainlands .

" I'm not sure if one of the salt lakes in here are already occupied by the Sun Humans ( humans of Apollo ) . Around these areas , you will find a lot of small salt lakes in here . I don't care if you want to forcibly drive the occupants here or would just take some salt back to your tribe . "

" Now , my part was already given. If you have something you want to .... "

Han Nabi didn't let the sparrow finish his talking and immediately gave him a basket of corns and wheat that they've grown in the space. 

The sparrow's eyes immediately shone seeing the corn and immediately pulled the two basket below his desk and immediately shooed them away .

Han Nabi laughed at the sparrow's cuteness and led Kryst around the market .

Han Nabi didn't head to the carnivorous demons and went to the place most herbivore settled their stalls .

When Han Nabi introduced their vegetables and fruits to them.  It immediately caught their attention.  Kryst exchanged them with some seeds that they don't have .

Han Nabi was especially happy to learn they have soy bean seeds and rice seeds . If they have soy beans they don't need to replenish their milk with the cows again to feed Kathryn .

When Nabi checked the ware house in the space earlier , she noticed that the milk was quickly draining due to the large appetite of Kathryn. She was genuinely worried for Kathryn's milk stock , fortunately they met a mighty herbivore demon that possessed soy bean seeds to trade with.

Kryst was tired of strolling and immediately stopped to sit on a bench , watching different kinds of demons passing by . The little elf could be seen wearing a white bear onesie with a big pocket on the belly , looking cute and adorable . Kryst inserted his hands into the belly pocket and took out a carrot to nibble .

The cute little elf caught the attention of some female demons who adore cute little things .

Kryst was oblivious of this and continued spacing out when it truth he was actually talking with Yggdrasil with some small things .

When Kryst was nibbling with his carrot.  Yggdrasil suddenly dropped a bomb. 

" I'm bearing another fruit.  "

Kryst's body suddenly stiffened as his eyes constricted from surprise .

" What? You're pregnant again? "

Yggdrasil the green haired man leaning on his tree body immediately exploded.  " Who's pregnant??!! I'm not pregnant!!! "

Kryst was unperturbed by Yggdrasil's reaction and bit his carrot as he asked. " What color? "

" There are two little flowers over my hair right now with varying colors , red , orange and purple . I'm bearing a triplets . "

Krystal stopped moving and thought of three little elves. Kathryn is still small , how could they take care of them?

" If I get to gain more believers , I might simultaneously bear little elves again and again . "

Kryst immediately closed his ears not daring to hear Yggdrasil's voices.  He only hopes those three would grow to be more sensible than naughty. 

As Kryst covered his ears while trembling. The feme demons watching him in the corner immediately thought that Kryst was left alone by his mother and is feeling scared and alone. 

Everyone pushed who wants to pacify him . Everyone is shy and only wants to watch from afar.  They couldn't bring their courage to face such cute little boy .

Yggdrasil laughed at Kryst's reaction and his face suddenly turned serious thinking of what he should do in order to gain more believers.  Although his life right now may sound leisurely , there's something within him that is hurrying him to grow strong.  As of something is about to return , a disaster .

His elf king is still small , and the enemies are powerful . If he couldn't gain more believers , it would be the end of him. 

Kryst was called by Wise and followed him to his tree house . Old Wise then took out books from his mini library and brought him to his library where a burning cauldron could be seen .

Kryst watched the old man in silence as the old man made a potion in a very quick of time. The potion was color blue and Old man Wide explained to him that it could replenish a Demon's mana storage.

Kryst was surprised to hear that there's such a magical potion that exist. It seems that his vision was too short and thought that herbs is all about healing , maybe there are also herbs out there that contains magical effects.

Red Fox Tribe

Liena worriedly looked at his brother among the group of shapeshifters and asked hesitantly. " Brother , are you really going to follow them to exchange for salt? Don't you know that it's very dangerous? "

Lienor lifted up his leather bag pack and turned to his younger sister who is looking at him with worry and concern .

" Now that the Chief will going to be absent for a long time , please help Linden to manage the tribe . Don't let everyone starve and don't let anyone to violate the rules . "

Liena scratched the back of her head then turned to look at the second blood warrior of the tribe , Liam. " Uncle Liam , please protect the Chief if you may encounter any danger. "

Liam immediately patted his chest in reassurance . " Don't worry , Lienna . Our Chief is stronger than you think he is , I'm always by his side to support him . "

Linden was busy handling a lot of bamboo bottled herbs that could help the trading team to heal their wounds if ever they get wounded in the middle of their journey .

It is already time for them to trade some salt as their salt is already about to be drained. Lienor thought of checking where the tribe get their salt so this time , he stubbornly announced that he will be going. He doesn't want to remain rotting in the tribe , he wants to hone himself and find his Crispy .

It's been a long time since Kryst left their tribe and Lienor is still thinking if the child successfully arrived in their tribe . If he joined the trading team to the north he might be able to meet Kryst along the way .

He doesn't know where is Kryst's tribe is located but the last time he let Kryst go . It was towards the eastern direction.

He doesn't know if that direction is really the way to their tribe , the child might have forgotten the direction to their tribe so he was always worrying for him .

The tribe has now stabilized , they already started building walls as their defence lest they get besieged by enemies and even produced a lot of weapons for the warriors.

And as the tribe was becoming more and more well fed , miraculously , several children awakened their blood ability . Lienor was genuinely surprised and immediately announced that anyone who awakened their blood abilities should join the ranks of ordinary Warrior and train their hunting skills along with the hunting team .

Everyone celebrated about this news.

During that time , Lienor was full of hope for their tribe. The elders of the tribe waved farewell for the trading team at the gate . Liendor , together with Liam , Lucas and other trading team members waved their hands to the whole tribe then turned their backs to adjust their bag behind them before setting off with dignified backs .

Lucas who was in the middle of courting Lienor's younger sister cried silently . " Brother-in-law , if I ever died in the middle of the journey . Please take good care of my Liena . "

Lienor gave Lucas a disdainful look and said . " Who said she's yours? And who's your brother-in-law? "

Lucas wiped his tears then stared unwillingly at the chief. " Chief! "

Liam at the front laughed . " Liena is a fierce woman in our tribe , you can't easily win her over. During our journey to the north , we guys would encounter life threathening events so hold on tight and don't get depressed . Once we manage to survive it , you will learn to cherish your life more . "

" After we go back , bring back anything that you discovered in the north and give it to your love Interests . "

" Once you came back safe , your reputation will soare high and everyone would want to marry you . So make sure to survive and savor the glory of being the strongest man in the tribe once we return. "

Lucas' eyes hearing Liam's words immediately shone and thought of bringing Liena a lot of fun things in order to court her . He clenched his fist and answered. " Yes!!! "

The warriors behind also clenched their fist and felt determined to awaken their blood in peril. Once they get stimulated , there's a probability that they would awaken their blood ability. That way , they could get their own girlfriends easily.

Liendor at the side looked up to side and thought to himself. " Where might he be? "

Juniper stared weirdly at Leon . " Why are you trading a lot of items? All of these things are useless to us you know . "

Leon packed the things he traded and answered. " I planned on becoming a merchant. After I traded with humans , I will head north to continue then I'll try if I could learn something new from the humans in the mainlands. I heard that they have a formal training system and there seems to be a lot of powerful warriors there. If I get to learn from them through duel , I might be able to break through to my level . "

Also , he's also expecting to meet that little guy along the way.

Inside the space , Kryst brought a lot of books he recieved from Wise and looked at the three flowers over the green haired translucent man and glanced at him weirdly.

Yggdrasil immediately pinched the teenager's cheeks and said through gritted teeth. " Like I said , I'm not pregnant! "

Kryst touched his cheeks then nodded. " Yes ,mother " .

Yggdrasil felt choke up recieving such call. " Call me father. "

" But you gave birth to us , you're obviously a mother. "

" I am your father. "

" Mother "

" Father!!! "

Kryst turned his head to the side and went inside the warehouse. " Pregnant mothers couldn't be argued , they easily get pissed off. "

" What did you say!!!?"
