Chapter 22
After we have returned from our exploration in the 2nd floor, we then took a rest and merely lazed around in out camp. Iratus took an hour or so as he napped before he returned to the 1st floor where his minions were stationed. He wanted to check his pack on what are doing right now, and also to hear their reports about the changes happened in the 1st floor right after our tower leveled up.
Yuichi was still sleeping and has no sign of waking up, which is really concerning for us. It has been 28th days since he went to sleep and even until now. Even Lucrane whi told me that he is merely going through an evolution called [Shinkai], seems to be puzzled and also lost on how long it has been since Yuichi slept. She said that [Shinkai] sometimes takes 2 or 3 days maxed for it to be completed and 1 or 1 and a half days if they were lucky enough, but she never heard of anyone - monsters - to reached a full length of a month just to undergo an evolution.
With nothing on our hands to know what is happening, and nothing to help Yuichi rather than checking him every now and then, we merely left him alone and wait.
'Yuichi might be a special one, a special child maybe?'
I thoughtly spoke in a joking tone.
Lucrane just took a little bit of rest before she went back towards the 2nd floor to place all the summoning circle that we received after our tower leveled up, 2 [Goblin Summoning Circle], 2 [Goblin Hobbit Summoning Circle], and 2 [Gray Wolf Summoning Circle], with an addition for the newest monster we received as a prize as we reached level 3, 1 [Nero Rabbit Summoning Circle].
[Goblin Summoning Circle] will summon 3 {Goblins} everyday with 21 {Goblins} per week, and it will stopped at 2 months maxed, which will give us 168 summoned {Goblins}.
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
1 month = 4 weeks
4 x 7 (days in a week) = 28 x 3 (goblins being summoned) = 84 summoned goblins in total for 1 month
84 x 2 (months) = 168 summoned goblins in total for 2 months
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
[Goblin Hobbit Summoning Circle] and [Goblin Summoning Circle] has the same ratio of monsters being summoned.
[Gray Wolf Summoning Circle] summon 20 males {Gray Wolf} for 1 week with 2 females ones, and will stop at 1 month and a half, which is roughly 6 weeks, which will give us 134 {Gray Wolves}.
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
1 month and a half = 6 weeks and 3 days
20 (male gray wolf) x 6 = 120 male gray wolves
2 (female gray wolf) x 6 = 12 female gray wolves
2 alpha on each summoning circle will appear
134 summoned gray wolves in total for 6 weeks
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
[Nero Rabbit Summoning Circle] will summon 30 {Nero Rabbits} - 20 male {Nero Rabbits} and 10 female {Nero Rabbits}, and will cease right after all 30 of them are summoned. This said summoning circle is different the the first 3 as they only grew their numbers by copulation, and seeing that rabbits tend to be lustful creature, we will just wait a couple of weeks before their number increase.
And with those things done, I merely sat as I relaxed and watched the beautiful field that I totally poured everything on me to finish and took a pleasant nap, under the shade of tree, and let the wind breeze caress till I sleep.
...
"Lucrane"
"Hmmm?"
"How to we build the barn and the windmill?"
I asked, right after we have our lunch and went on the field to take care of our crops, which is something we shouldn't be doing anymore seeing that the {Stone Golems} can do that for us, I then inquired Lucrane about those buildings I saw back when she was explaining everything about towers.
"Do we need to, like, build it ourselves?"
I stated as I hold a baked potato from my right hand as the two of us seated in the shade of a tree while taking a break.
Num
Lucrane then shook her head and answered
"No need to, I also for one not that good when it comes to infrastructure building and the likes"
Gulp
"So how then? Do they magically emerge from nothing if we pick where we place them?"
"Of course not, idiot"
Chump
Lucrane then took a bite of her baked potato before she answered, right after she swallowed it
"We need to gather all the necessary materials for the said building to be build"
"..... And? I think the is very obvious isn't it?"
I stated, though it might be sarcastic of me but you can't possible build something without materials right? Except if you are a God, maybe?
Gulp
"By picking where you wanted to build that said infrastructure, there will be a red and green lines that will indicate if that said place is good spot to be build on, red for not and green for yes"
'... Now I am seriously thinking whether the God who made this tower enjoyed playing COC or building type games'
I thought as what Lucrane just explained to me is the most used type of 'how to build a building' in every game, especially those build your building type of games, and even rpg ones
"Right after you have found the right spot, which will appear as green, you will just clicked that spot by pressing the 'OK' button at the screen"
'Seriously?'
"Then right after that, by clicking the said infrastructure that you wanted to be build in that spot, it will then show you what materials are needed for it to be build, and how many of those said materials are needed for it to be build"
"What a typical game like"
"?"
I unconsciously spurted out which made Lucrane puzzled to what I just said.
"Nothing, just talking to myself"
I said as I swayed my left hand as I gaze upfront
"So you are saying that we just need to gather all the materials for that said building, and it will build on its own? Like that?"
I asked, quite dumbstruck and unbelief to her words. Lucrane then nodded to my inquiry and added
"Yes, just like that. It will take 4 to 7 hours before the said infrastructure to be built, days and weeks if the building was large and wide. There is also a limit on how many buildings you can build"
Lucrane then crossed her legs as she explained
"You can only build 5 buildings or structure for 2 months and nothing more, and only after 2 months could you build another one"
"For what reason exactly?"
Lucrane then shrugged her shoulders as she replied
"Neither do I know about it"
"I see"
The two of us went silence as we sat down and eat our baked potato.
'I wish they have baked potatoes..... Wait a minute!
I then hurriedly turn my head toward Lucrane which made her surprise, and asked her when I suddenly realized something
"W-what is it?"
She nervously asked
"Do you have sweet potato here, Lucrane?"
I inquiry in a gentle tone
"Sweet potato?"
I then eagerly nodded in enthusiasm
"Well.... We do have one here, why?"
"What do you mean 'Why'? Sweet potatoes are best one than this normal potatoes, because they are sweet!"
I proclaimed with a lot of vigor, which surprised Lucrane even more
"R-really? I never knew though"
"Oh my gosh!"
Smack
I then face-palm myself as I raised my head up.
".... You sure are acting weird for a potato"
I then looked at her and explained in a serious tone
"Beacuse sweet potato are best potato. Sweet potato has more floors than a normal potato. They are also good for grilling, or even a normal baked. If you needed a meal, you can mash it all up for a good breakfast. If you want, frying then also a good choice to make, especially when they become quite crispy. Sweet potato gives more bountiful richness and more delightful to be eaten as they are sweet"
"You really do know a lot about sweet potato huh?"
Lucrane spoke as made a sarcastic smile at me
"Well, my grandma tend to cook it for us, everyday, until she made it almost like our typical dish in our house. Grandpa also have enough of it, but even how much we wanted to retort or complain, we still end up asking for a second or even third plate of her cooking"
"I see. Is she a [Chief] before?"
I then swayed my head as I deny her words
"Grandma is self-taught cook, and tend to make her own recipe sometimes too"
(Author's POV)
Unknowingly for him, Vince spoke in a distance, elated tone, as he tell about the life he once have and a blissful days he once experienced. Surprised by his sudden change, Lucrane couldn't help but stare at him with a fixed gaze, tentatively listening to every words he spoke with a blissful smile.
The two sat down under the shade of the tree as they took their rest. Telling his tale while she listen was something you could hardly see in such delight. And under the light of the blazing sun, they were silently took their rest in peace. If a painter could paint them, it would portrait the warmful sensational of peace and quiet, polish with cozy embrace of tranquility and happiness.
(Vince's POV)
"My grandma is always a hardworking type and stubborn also, though my grandpa is man that can't be moved like a boulder, but my grandma is take the cake for being worse. My grandma tend to cook a lot of dishes to the point that grandpa will always compare her dishes to the other meals, I was also captured by my grandma's meals. And even the most popular bakery shop near us seems to be lacking after you have tasted grandma's cooking, everyday"
Reminiscence about the past, I couldn't help but smile as I told Lucrane about it
"Their marriage is what we call as an 'Elopement' as they made vow for each other without their parents consent, nor even their relatives approval, mostly on my grandmother's side as all her relatives and family are quite the silver spoon individuals, and high prided too"
"Why?"
I then looked at Lucrane as I replied
"They don't like my grandpa, seeing he was a man raised by a fugitive, and born from a criminal"
Remembering it, made me clench my fist in frustration
"Was he?"
Lucrane's words was low and gentle as she asked that, which I then nodded
"My grandpa has 2 stepmother and 1 stepfather"
".... Okay, I'm confused"
Giggling to her words, I then explained
"My grandpa's mother left him when he was still 10 with his father, who is a drunkard and unemployed. Her mother left them after she loaned 2.46 million pesos and could not pay it back to the alloted time"
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
2.46 million pesos = 144 thousand US dollars = 6.36 million yen
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
"She run away leaving him and his father alone in that ruined house. Thankfully she didn't give them the address to where they lived or else, he and his father should have already committed suicide due to that debt. They don't know for what reason she did that, is it out of love? Compassion? Guilt, or just a clumsy luck of mistake? Either way, it was able to save grandpa and his father from those sharks"
I then took a glance at Lucrane, though she was listening, she might not get some part of what I said so I then added
"Basically, her mother owned them, this is just an example, roughly 500 gold coins, and she only earns a couple of copper and silver coins monthly. She was supposed to pay it 2 years right after the said loan, but just earning a couple of pennies, she couldn't even save even a single gold coin"
Lucrane then made an expression that she got the gist of it
"I see.... But why did she took that huge amount anyway? Does she need it?"
"Actually, grandpa and his father didn't know either as both of them didn't even received even a single cent of hat huge money"
"What? How?"
"Well, after 8 months of his mother gone missing, she was then found dead below a bridge, where she committed suicide. Her body was already rotten and living her bones there unattended. A couple that was using that bridge to copulate found her remains, with her staff and other items. They then found her phone next to her, which then became an evidence to the crime those who loan her the money committed"
I then heave a heavy sigh as I continue
"It was then found out that his mother didn't really loaned 30 million, but only took 30 thousand. But due to how naive she was, that said thousand became a million when the company she asked for money deceive her"
I then look at Lucrane as I added
"His mother was a college graduate and a scholar, but what those scum did was something she didnt anticipate. They let her sign a contract of how she will be paying, and in that contract it was only written the same amount of what she owned with 10% interest for every month, that would be 3, 000 additional for every month, with 2 years duration, her debt should only goes for 102 thousand and yet she owned them a million. She was advice to pay it every month so the interest won't pile up"
"Did they change the contract?"
"Exactly. Right after she signed it with her name and signature, they then took a photo of her signature and edited it on a different contract, making her debt go beyond what she thought. From 30 thousand pesos, it was written there that she loaned 300, 000 thousand pesos and agreed to pay it with 30% interest"
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
30, 000 x. 30 = 90, 000 x 24 (as there are 12 months in 1 year and she needed to pay for 2 years) = 2. 46 million
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
"The video tape itself wasn't able to justify all her accusation as it lack evidence to prove, but what was surprising was that she hid more than just her words in that video. In that video, she spoke about taking the original contract and falsified contract, and save it to her email address. After they investigate it, the jury and the other personnel then took action and completely closed that company, while also imprisoning all those individuals. Though the case was then closed, none still know why she committed suicide if she have those evidence in hand"
"How did she get those contracts anyway?"
"Well, my grandpa's mother was a beauty. Even back in her youth, she was more of a celebrity or a model with her glossy skin, red lips, and looks that would tell what a beauty is. She also have an alluring body. She used that to her advantage and charmed two of those guys in that company, which then resulted on them, stupidly gave her both of the contracts. It was just a misfortune on her end that she got married to my grandfather's father. Even in the video, she only apologize to my grandpa and didn't mention his father"
"Arrange marriage?"
I then shook my head
"His father just drug his mother's cup which then resulted on them sleeping the night together. Her parents was furious, not on him but on her, not fully knowing the truth, she was disowned and was left in that man's care"
"..... I'm speechless"
I then smirk on her words.
"2 months after that breaking news, grandpa's father then left him on an unknown street where he meant his first stepmother. She was single mother of 2 kids, 1 daughter and 1 son. The latter was 14 years of age, while the former is 17 years old. She accepted grandpa as her own after she found him outside of her home. Though, I don't know why she directly accepted her, my grandpa just said that she was merely kind that time"
"His stepmother was divorce 2 years ago in Korea, and left with her 2 kids and live in our country. His life there was peaceful, not until he found out the real reason why she accepted him, 3 months later"
I then glance at lucrane and spoke with a slight disgusted tone
"She was pedophile"
"... What?"
Lucrane then frown as I said that
"Gender doesn't matter to her, she likes younger kids to please her every night or those days she wanted to feel bliss. My grandpa found out that even her own child was already one of her captives, and use them as her toys"
".... What a pig"
"Can't say I disagree with you"
I said, I then looked upfront and added
"The reason why she got divorced by her husband was when he found out about her hobby, and saw it with his own two eyes, as he caught her red handedly doing it with her daughter and son. He can't report it due to how influential she was, so he was shut down by her with money and was asked for a divorce. My grandpa was about to become hers if he didn't decided to left that house where he meet his 1st stepfather and 2nd stepmother"
"Your grandpa has it rough"
"That is why he is tough one to crack"
I jokingly stated
"My grandfather's first step dad was a mechanic, while his wife was a photographer for models. They let him stay with them right after he told them about his story, of course the two didn't belive him at first until they check the record of his and found out what happened to his mother, which gave them a reason to shelter him. His life there was more blissful than the others. He lived there with them for 3 years, not until the two died in an accident"
I then stared at the distance before I continued
"Both was about to return home and was about to surprise him for his birthday not until both was buried underneath the tunnel they were crossing. Their body was squashed with the cake and the present they was about to give to my grandpa"
Lucrane made a complicated expression as she heard what happened, and could only imagine what my grandfather felt in that situation
"My grandfather was devastated to that sudden situation, but he was able to hold his ground and keep moving forward. Due to his stepfather being a mechanic, he was able to learn a lot from him for those 3 years living with them so he was able to continue his stepfather's business. For 7 years of living alone, and attending his stepfather's business at a young age, he then meet his first love, my grandma. Both really didn't know about each other as they merely pass each other by and didn't even have a chance to talk. 3 months came in and my grandpa still can't forget about her, so he tried finding any clues about her but all his attempts didn't bore any result. After 3 years, when my grandfather when to Japan for a vacation, he then meet grandma by a mere blissful luck. It was a festival during that time, and as the fireworks flew up and exploded into the night sky, both him and her accidentally bump to each other"
I then added as I smiled, recalling that scene on my mind when grandpa told me about it
"And as it exploded, both meet each others eye and didn't moved an inch to their spot. Motionless as they gaze at one another, only the fireworks explosion are the music they could hear around them. And that time, that time was when my grandpa truly did found the only one he would love. Their story unfold like a fairytale that time"
"Indeed"
"Both became secret lovers for 2 years behind grandma's strict parents. They then decided to get married but was obstructed by grandma's parents. Grandpa and grandma then elope and married each other when grandma fought for grandpa when her relatives and family disagree of their relationship. Their love then bore fruit when grandma give birth to mother, which is something I found unusual, especially about their personality. I even start thinking that she was merely adopted or accidentally picked in a garbage disposal, or something"
"You really hate your mother that much?"
Lucrane asked in a puzzling tone. I then nodded as I replied with disgusted tone full of animosity and frustration
"I don't hate her, I just despise her very existence and really wish I wasn't born from her womb"
"..... I see....."
(Author's POV)
Lucrane didn't further probe nor asked about the circumstances of Vince's life, neither his past experience even how curious she was into it, for a reason that even she, herself didn't even yet disclose all her secrets about her life and origins, and even her past.
Silently sighing under her breath, Lucrane then pouted in irritation and discomfort, wishing that one day will come where she could state all her secrets to him, and wish that day wouldn't take to long.
(Vince's POV)
"Your grandfather really have it hard"
"Can't deny that"
"But I am still in the mist about something"
"On what?"
I asked, confused, as Lucrane suddenly felt puzzled
"You said that the reason why your grandmother and grandfather couldn't marry with the support of your grandmother's family is because, your grandfather was a son of a criminal and fugitive, isn't it?"
I the nodded to her words
"But isn't his mother found not guilty, for a reason that she was scammed and merely accused for something she didn't do? And wasn't that video you were saying already prove her innocence? So why then? Why they still call him like that? For what reason?"
"Oh you mean that?"
Realizing what she meant, I then answer as I crossed my legs
"It was because of his father"
"His father?"
I nodded
"His father committed a crime by raping a married woman in an alley at night, and stealing all her money and jewelry she wore that time. He became a fugitive for almost 3 months and was caught in the afternoon after he was dead drunk in a brothel. When he was in their custody he was so carefree and didn't care about what will happen to him, and just laid back as he waited. He was then filed a complaint by the family of that woman, especially her husband"
I then glance at Lucrane as I added
"But did you know what he said, when he was asked why did he do that?"
"What?"
"Who can blame me if I wanted to ram my big dick inside that bitch tight pussy anyway?' is what he said"
"...."
Snort
"What? Seriously?"
Lucrane then started chuckling right after she momentarily stunned to what I just said. I can't really blame her, I was also laughing my ass out when grandpa told me about it. We were then both scolded by grandma right after, saying that mocking or talking someone from behind is bad manners or lack of value
"He then said that she was even into it and just accusing him right after he decline to be with her. The husband was so furious that he almost went in front and was about to smack him if he wasn't stop by his in-laws. Thankfully he was restrained quickly or it won't good for both of them. Grandpa's father was then imprisoned right after and was sentenced for 20 years of imprisonment"
I then lean my left cheek to my right hand as I continued, while looking upfront
"Right after my parents got divorced when I was still 7 years old and irresponsibly left me to my grandparents care, I then lived with them for almost 4 years. Those 4 years worth a million than living with my great parents, that love and respect me"
...
Right after our talk which is mostly all about my grandparents life as we took our break, we then headed towards the side of our field when we decided to where the barn of those {Chickens} should be place.
Lucrane suggested that we place them at the top left of the field as it much better if the barn was next to the crops, which I then agreed on. The two of us then headed on the spot.
Lucrane then started examining the land to find the suitable spot to place the building we wanted to be built. She was checking those red and green lines that the tower is showing unto her. After a few minutes of surveying the area, we then found the suitable spot to place the barn, and just like that she we were finished, mostly.
"So what materials do we need? And how much?"
I inquired. Lucrane then responded right after she bended down as she looked at it
"There are option of what kind of Barn do we need to build. A small barn is needed an about 50 chopped logs with a length of 5 meters, or to say 50 medium sized trees need to be cut down. 80 medium sized trees are needed for the medium sized barn whole 120 medium sized trees for deluxe sized barn"
She then turn her sight towards me and asked
"So which one should we build then?"
I then went on a deep thought. Medium sized barn seems to be the best choice to make as it wasn't that big nor too small, it could also accommodate a large quantity as well. But before I respond to her inquiry, I asked something I like to know beforehand
"Can the sizes be upgraded right after? Like after the small sized barn was built, can we upgrade it into the medium sized right after?"
"..... Let me see...."
Lucrane then checked something on the screen in the space where we decided to place the barn, which is in front of her. She took a momentary silence as looked at it before she strengthen herself up and spoke, and nodded
"Yes we can"
Hearing her words, I then decided
"Then let us go for the medium sized one then. It is a much better start, especially if we don't know by how much or how many farm animals do we need to raise in this barn"
Lucrane then nodded to my words
"And by the way, how many {Chickens} do we have now?"
Yeah, I almost forgot about it too. It is been a while since we checked them. Last time I remembered that hen have 8 chicks, I don't know how many was there then right after
"I don't know too, let us go and check"
As we both decided, we then headed towards where we keep our farm {Chickens}.
The spot where we raised them was just a normal looking ranch with fences encircling around them. The area was small, just enough for them to move around a bit then take their rest under the shade of a tree nearby. There was a small stone platform at the center where they could rest, lay down, or do whatever they wanted to do at that platform. I made a small pond at top left for them to drink.
It is been 2 months or so since then, so we should be expecting a dozens more of them, maybe twice a dozen of thier population this time around, but as we got there and see what our beloved {Chicken} is doing
"...."
"..."
What we saw was hell
".... When was the last time we feed them?"
Lucrane asked, puzzled and truly dumbstruck to what jsut happened. I then shook my head and replied in unsure tone of shocked
"I..... Also don't know..... Maybe last month?"
I asnwered in a meek voice
"And how many months has it been then?"
"..... 2 months I think?"
The two of us then looked at each other with grim expression and stupidified look, as the small ranch where we raised our {Chickens} was now filled with loitered feathers, and scattered remains of those once living creatures.
Yes, the ranch was now became their graveyard just because the two of us forgot to feed them, last month, until now. Their bones was laying on the ground. The area wasn't stench as it already been 3 whole months or something when they died, so the odor of their rotten body should already been gone, drifted by the breeze of the wind.
Maybe the reason why we couldn't smell them was because we aren't at the spot where the smell will pass on us. The area where the ranch was placed was just above our camp, at the left side. We build it there for reason that we don't want to smell their waste and other by products of stench when we are eating or resting, which is also resulted on us not knowing that all of them already passed away, poor chickens
Sighing as we can't xo anything about this other than byuring tnem, I then look at Lucrane
"Do we have a summoning circle for this monsters right?"
I anxiously asked. Lucrane then nodded to my words and replied
"There are 2 new summoning circle for the {Chickens}, though it was quite surprising what happened here, we can at least be glad that we still can summon them"
"How many can be summoned?"
"1 per day, with 10 as maxed"
"Only 10?"
Lucrane nodded
"Compared to monster, this [Farm Monster] can be raised and protected in safe keep. And they don't need to compete for food or territory, so summoning 10 of them is already an excellent offer"
"How many eggs do they lay anyway?"
"..... 1 egg per day, 7 or 8 per week, and 31 eggs per month"
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
Remember that each month in this world have the same days, 30
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
"How many male are there?"
"None"
"What?"
"{Chickens} doesn't really need partners for them to lay an egg, as long they get feed, they could re-produce an egg per day"
"Doesn't feeds only make those creatures lay an egg that wasn't fertilized? I mean, those eggs won't hatched as they weren't from a male and female copulating?"
I think that is basic thing back in my world. If you wanted some of your chickens to lay an egg to be fertilize and hatched, then you needed to separate them and let them live with a rooster in a cage, and if you wanted them to just lay an egg to be sold, then you can just place them to the cage where they will be feeded and such. You can also just picked among those chickens - that lays an unfertilized eggs - to be fertilize by a rooster, and place them back to the cage right after they lays and incubate the said egg after taking them out.
"So {Chickens} in your world needed a male to be fertile?"
"Obviously"
I replied in a sarcastic tone
"Then the {Chickens} in this worlds aren't. They can lay a fertilize egg whether they copulate to a male or just being feeded. Though the success rate for an egg to be hatched has more success if it was from mating than if it wasn't"
"I see"
After our short discussion, we then left the small ranch and will comeback just to bury all the remains of our once source of delicious meat and eggs. The two of us then headed back to the field. As we were walking, I then asked something to Lucrane
"When do we start cutting some woods for the materials?"
"... Maybe right after lunch. We could order the other 2 {Stone Golems} while I will summon the others after we took our meal"
Oh, almost forgot about those
"How many of those {Golems} will you summoning this time?"
I curiously asked. One of the two reason why Lucrane went out and visited another tower for 2 days was to sell the crops we have accumulated in here, and also to buy additional support in this tower, {Stone Golems}.
"I brought 8 [Summoning Scrolls] with me, 6 of them will summon {Wooden Golems}, and the remaining 2 will be {Stone Golems}"
"{Wooden Golems}?"
I asked
"{Golems} can be divided into 8 different types, namely:"
×{×<<<<<>¦[GOLEM TYPES AND THEIR LEVEL]¦<>>>>>}×
Beast of Creation - - - - > level 1 - level 1, 000
Humanoid - - - - > level 1 - level 1, 000
Elemental Golem - - - - > level 1 - level 750
Ignition Puppet - - - - > level 1 - level 500
Autómata de Agua (Spanish translation for water automaton) - - - - > level 1 - level 500
Steel Golem/ Knight Golem - - - - > level 1 - level 300
Stone Golem - - - - > level 0 - level 100
Wooden Golem - - - - > level 1 - level 250
×{×<<<<<>¦[GOLEM CLASS]¦<>>>>>}×
Except for the {Stone Golem}, any of the other {Golems} can attain different classes.
×{×<<<<<>¦[xxxxxxxxxx]¦<>>>>>}×
"{Golems} doesn't have any evolution, as when they are made, they can't change whom they were or what will they become. Unless, the one who handled it was a master in craftsmanship, then maybe they could be upgraded but not changed as they will merely get stronger"
Lucrane the added right after we got back to our camp and sat down outside of our house.
"{Stone Golems} are good in manual labor, or those task that needs heavy lifting, though they could do minimal task, they are basically made for tedious job. {Wooden Golem} are the opposite of the {Stone Golems} as they were created to be a maid. They have a body of a wooden doll with a shape that looks like a walking doll tree. They aren't exactly good at job that needs strong psyche as they have slender body, so being a maid or a butler are suitable for them. {Autómata de Agua} are {Golems} that has a body of {Steel Golem} with transparency like of a water. Their body is basically, or truly made from water. They have this machine inside their armor that let them produce water, and magic circle that manipulates those said water to move like a human"
"So they basically like a moving body of water?"
Lucrane then nodded. She then continued her explanation
"You can say that. Physical attack doesn't work on them as just like water, sharp or blunt object just pass through them, so using magic skill is much more effective when fighting them. {Steel Golem} or what others commonly refer as {Knight Golem} has a body of steel or iron and has a shape of a full armored Knight. They have insane high defense and swift strikes. {Ignition Puppet} is the same as {Automata de Agua} but opposite. They have a body of a {Wooden Golem} that is engulfed in a smoldering flame. They are good at using magic, especially in fire which is their specialty. {Elemental Golem} is another advance type of {Golem} that could wield elements from the basic one like fire, water, earth, and wind. They have a slender body with quick footwork. {Humanoid} and {Beast of Creation} are the high tier types of {Golems}"
She then added
"{Humanoid} is an automata that has the same feature of a human, except for their joints and blank eyes. They have insane amount of skills in weaponry and magic, and could basically top anyone when it comes to swordsmanship and archery, and even in casting speed and high their invokation. They are what other refer as, {Human Puppet}. Their build or how they were build could tell in which department do they excel, like being slender like a noble woman could emphasize their agile or swift movements"
'So basically those A.I types or robots in movies and animes, neat'
"{Beast of Creation} is just like {Humanoid}, they were design to have the looks of a {Beastkin}. They have strong psyche and could fold anyone in one in one combat. You can mostly see their resemblance to a {Beastkin} with their extra tail, ears, or beast like appearance. Unlike the other {Golems}, most {Beastkin} hate them as they were an insult to their entire race"
Lucrane then crossed her legs and added
"So for today onwards, I will be using these {Wooden Golems} to take care of all the {Chickens} and other [Farm Monster] in our barn, and also in tending the crops. I'll be sending some of the {Stine Golems} at the ming area to start mining some [Iron Ore]"
...
After that discussion, the two of us then headed inside the forest and started cutting some woods to use to build our barn. Lucrane first summoned before we started chopping all the {Golems}. She merely opened all the scrolls as she rolled them on the ground. The runes engrave on those scrolls have a an octagon shape that is being encircled by a circle, below its edge. It has a triangle at the inside with a 12 edges star at middle.
As the runes glowed, one by one, all the {Golems} then appeared atop of those scrolls. The {Wooden Golems} that she summoned have a similar features of a marionette dolls or puppets. They have a body that is shaped like a kid in early teens or middle teens. Blank wooden face with slender figure. Their arms and legs was really carved with a masterful hands as they really resemble the body of a human, not too thicc nor thin. Their fingers was like of a maiden that never touched anything heavier than a tea cup and spoon.
Their chest was a bit wide, maybe I could compare it to a A size chest or - B size chest of a woman, with a shapen butt and well rounded head. Their abdomen is well designed and thier height is well adjusted to their body structures. A really well made creation.
After she summoned them, she then ordered some of the {Wooden Golems} to replace the {Stone Golems} in tending the crops, while the others will await further instructions. She then called out some of the {Stone Golems} to assist us cutting down some medium sized trees then let the others on standby.
....
(Lucrane's Explanation)
Trees inside the tower are divided into 3 sizes: small, medium, and large or tall ones.
Small size trees could grow to 2 to 3 meters long while medium size ones reach 5 to 6 meters tall, and 8 to 10 meters long for the large or tall size trees.
The experience gained in those trees also differ. Small size tree gave 7 exp, while 10 exp for the medium size, and 15 exp for the large or tall trees. The amount of woods gain in them also increase, twice for the medium size while thrice the amount for the large ones.
....
Phew~
I heave a sigh of relief as I sweep the sweat dripping on my forehead, right after a tedious work which ended at almost evening. We started at mid morning, took a break at lunch then continue forward.

×>} |XXXXXXXXXXX| {<×
'The exp I gained really did increase, sweet'
After we have chopped all 80 medium size trees, Lucrane then stored all of it to her [Storage Rings]. The two of us then rested a bit before we headed towards the field. As we got to the spot where we planned to build our Barn, Lucrane then summoned all the logs she stored and place them atop of each other unto the area.
Afterwards, Lucrane then took a look at it
"So?"
I inquired, if this is the same feature as those building type games, then there should be an indicator on how many hours or days would it take for it to be finished.
"It will take 4 days and 12 hours for it to be finished"
"4 days? That long?"
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
I tried searching this and I found that pole barn with a medium size (40 x 60) would take 3 to 7 days to be build
[{<><><><>|×××××××××××××××××××|<><><><>}]
Lucrane then strengthen herself as she stood up and nodded to my words.
"So we will be waiting for it to be finished before we do the summoning, but I think summoning some {Chickens} beforehand is most likely the best route to take, thinking that it needed 1 day to summon just 1 {Chicken}"
"I agree"
I then looked around the area and asked Lucrane
"So where should we summing them? Just here?"
"{Wooden Golems} should be here tending those crops, so I could order some of them to look after the {Chickens}, and secure the eggs they lay"
After we have made our decision, Lucrane then placed the [Chicken Summoning Circle] just beside the Barn.
The summoming circle for this monster has a diamond shape rune with 2 spheres encircling it below its edge, placed at the center in a giant nonagon shape. It has a symbol of a {Chicken} at the middle, coated in blank ink. The {Chicken} symbol drawn in the rune is still the same chicken back in my world.
After the summoning circle was placed, Lucrane then kneeled beside the summoning circle and muttered
"I beseech you to be called, upon my words I ask you to appear. Advent in your arrival, your presence will be known"
"[Summon]"
As she said that, the rune then shown the same light like the one came in when we summoned the {Gray Wolf}. As the light vanish
Cluck Cluck
Our first {Chicken}, after the death of those others, then arrived. The said {Chicken} has the same features of the chicken back in my world, with an exception on its size and able to fly. White feathers, red comb, long legs with sharp claws, and long wingspan. This said {Chickens} reached till my knee. After they got summoned, they then roamed around the area and started doing what a chicken supposed to be doing.
.....
(After 2 days)
After waiting for 2 days, our Barn has finished reconstructing. The Barn has a size of - which is shown as we checked it thanks to the tower's feature - 60 x 40 or 18 meters long and 12 meters wide. The inside of the Barn was wide with 10 cages with 1 meter in width and 3 meters in length in the left side - thanks to the tower feature. I think this is where we milk our cows? Maybe leash our horses? I don't know, I am not that much knowledgeable when it comes to Barns.
At the far corner of this stable or whatever it is called was a storage room, or the storing area of the Barn. It has a 6 meters width and 5 meters in length.
At the right, there were *4 wide spaces which seems to be the resting place for any livestock we will be raising in here. It has 4 meters in width with 3 meters in length.
The Barn has a 2nd floor with a surprisingly an elevator-like machine at the center which will be the staircase of this Barn. The said elevator was made from a thick brown wood with a 9 meters length and 4 meters width platform, with 2 meters wall surrounding it. It has 8 strong ropes that was attached to the platform, like a cable - 2 by each edges. This elevator is connected to something, or should be but it rose up when you tap the pillar with a white glowing rune atop of it, at the left of the platform. It is like a button in an elevator, which is truly fascinating. The platform entrance is facing at the left side of the Barn
As we go up, I then realized that this rope was connected at the ceiling of the barn with a thick brown wood with the same length of the platform. And the rope is being absorbed or sucked by this wood as we rose up, bewildering.
The 2nd floor of this Barn is just the same as below but with 4 wide stable at each side of it, with 4 meters width and 3 meters length.
At the side of the Barn, just a few distance, has a small shed where the {Chickens} will be kept, the [Chicken Coop]. It has 2 meters in width and 2 meters in length (4 square meter) per bird. It has a 2nd floor and 40 cages - 20 per floor. It has also a wide running space or the area where they could move around and stretch their body and legs to their limit, a [Chicken Run]. It has a 2.5 meters width and 6 meters length, Startin from the coop. And there are 2 [Chicken Coop] where the other is at the right of the Barn.
For 2 days, we have now 2 {Chickens} and it also already layed an egg. We place them both on the [Chicken Coop] at the right with their eggs. The feeds we are feeding them is merely just a tid bits cut of Carrots.
We end our day just resting for the whole morning in the shed of the tree and slept as the wind breeze caress us.
