It was gorgeous, and for a fleeting moment, it seemed like I was in a dream.

'I had no idea that this world had red spider lilies.' I spoke without giving it much thought.

"this world?" Ena asked in confusion. As I began to make my way through the flower field, I remarked, 'Ah....don't mind me,'

I looked around and saw only white flowers everywhere. Ena spoke up, "I am so excited to see how much construction is done," as Ruby followed us in silence and the air was filled with a sweet and gentle fragrance from all of the flowers around us.

'You are talking like a boy again. Which girl would be thrilled to see such a large building being built?' i asked while being teased by me.

She began to pick up her pace and exclaimed, "Oh come on, I am going to be living in it, who wouldn't be excited to see their own house being built?" as she continued to make her way toward the construction site.

Ruby commented as Ena moved on, "She is too excited for it." Ena had already moved on.

'Well, as long as she is enjoying it,' I said as I looked towards the houses and various species that were living in the city beside the hill.

It had changed significantly over the previous month. Various species coexisted there in perfect harmony, and there were now stands next to the roots of large trees, most of which were being used as buildings because they were hollow on the inside. There were also good-sized bridges linking the various trees, some of which were large enough to accommodate two carriages, and there were even houses made of trees that looked cool. It was starting to resemble the society of elves that existed in the fantasy books.

The only different thing is that there are elves who look like bodybuilders, with wide shoulders, and ebbs they are not the elves that usually seem slender in the stories. In other words, some elves look like bodybuilders.

And they are unable to utilize mana or bows the only weaponry they have access to is spears this may change in the future, but for now, they can't do so.

If Ena and Ruby are successful in finding a method to utilize mana, then they will be able to instruct others, and the Elven community will place a significant emphasis on magic research.

This is all going to happen in the future. There will be a lot of shifts, but I haven't even thought about how much Ailyn's new baby will alter things. There will be a lot of shifts.

As I was processing all of this information, we made it to the base of the hill where the castle was going to be constructed. I could see numerous elves digging the ground, and I could see the pattern of the castle only from the basement it would be enormous, to say the least. They were excavating a large area that seemed to be a basement. They must have started from the basement.

Ena exclaimed, "Wow, it's so large!" while bouncing up and down with excitement, and Ruby agreed, saying, "Hmm, it's massive."

The cabin I saw was the only one in the whole capital, and Ena's family had been living there while waiting to move into the castle once construction was complete.

"Dad!" While I was preoccupied with my thoughts, Ena suddenly let out a scream. When I turned to look at her, she was sprinting towards Zeno, who had just come with two other leaders from the tribe. Ena went up to Zeno and leaped into his arms. It seemed to be a touching moment shared between a father and a daughter.

After he had shown some affection to his daughter, Zeno and I locked eyes, and when we did, he made a little bow while Ena was still in his arms.

'Been a while Zeno how are things going?' I asked,

"Everything is going according to plan, Lord Nova we are now extending our area while also training new soldiers." He stated that as he began to give a report on what things they had accomplished in the previous month, well, to be honest, I was inquiring about his personal life but whatever, it's nice to receive an update on how things are going from time to time. He said this as he started to deliver the report.

'Good, keep up the good work, and don't over-exert yourself' I said when he was done with his report,

'How is it going with Ailyn?' I inquired about how she was doing

"Ah, she is doing terrific." He responded by saying, 'I see, take care of her.' I then turned around to go and said, 'Alright then I won't disturb you with your job now.' I then continued walking back.

"You are already going back?"Ena asked,

"Stay with us," Ruby said, backing Ena up.

'I have work to do, you two enjoy yourselves' I said to them and then moved back up towards the entrance of the cave, as I walked up I thought about what to do next, should I go practice my magic? Or should I just go and open up the mutated creatures to research what was causing changes in their bodies?

I should just direct them one by one,

[and what exactly are you thinking you will find anyway?]

Well to be honest I have no idea, I am just looking for a clue.

[there is only energy in their body. So I don't think you will find much]

Then I Guess there is nothing that I can do.

As I got closer to the entrance of the cave, I found myself thinking. I could feel someone coming closer to me, and when I turned to look in that direction, I saw Kaya walking toward me. She was majestically approaching me by moving in steady steps.

As she came closer to me, she greeted me with the words,

'Lord Nova, it has been a while.'

'Yes it has been a while, Kaya, how is everything going?' I asked her in return.

'We have found a wared type of slime, in the forest, it's stuck to the ground and it's black in color, and a dumb ass Kai went too close to it and got himself stuck.' She spoke, and her voice told me that she was annoyed with Kai.

'Oh, a slime that could trap Kai? Now that's an interesting thing. Take me there' I said.

'Yes, please follow me' Kaya said as she started walking.

***

After a considerable amount of time spent walking through the jungle. I was able to pick up on voices coming from up ahead.

It was unmistakably Kai's voice that said, "Alright, one, two, three, NOW pull."

What the heck is going on here, I thought as we finally arrived at the location where Kai was sucked into the slime, and what I saw when we got there was nothing like what I had imagined it would be.

'Pft' controlled my laughter as I saw the amusing seine in front of me.

Snow and Khan were both biting down on Kai's tail, attempting to pull him out of the black slime that he was stuck in. Kai, on the other hand, Kai was unable to move at all.

He was standing in a pool of black slime that gave off the impression that it was pulsating, the slime was clinging to Kai's legs in a very tight way.

'Aha, Lord Nova has arrived.' As soon as Kaya's voice resounded in the surroundings, both Snow and Khan let go of Kai's tail and fell back, 'What are you guys up to?' I asked

'I-I was testing my strength against the slime,' khan said quickly as he stood back up, he is too proud to say he was helping Kai. seeing him act like this, they had been acting dignified in front of me, but when I see them like that, they look like really good friends.

'Yes, he is correct.' Snow agreed with his words. It's the first time I've noticed them acting differently when they're not around me.'

Sure, if you say so, I asked because things were getting a little awkward.

'Let's see what this thing is,' I said to myself as I walked towards the black slime, it was pulsing as if breathing, it had black veins with a slight red glow, they appeared to be discussing, and I didn't want to get any closer to this thing, so I just used Appraisal from afar.

Name: ????

Description: ????

What the hell is this thing? I thought as I looked at the results, everything is just question marks, is my level too low for this stuff? I thought as I looked toward the pulsing black slime,

[why not touch it?]

Kai got stuck doing that, so I don't want to do that, lets's just examine Kai to see what the slime is doing.
