To prevent such situation, he rode on the Wyverns and hunting them down till the last member. Poisonous insect and savage beasts also lunged at them in single number, and they could only win through combining all their strength.
“Every time, if you adapt then everything will be alright.”
Weed’s skill and level was enough to explore Grapass. Of course the Sculpture Lifeforms took most of the burdens, but they could level up as much in return. By fighting in Grapass, Weed was able to raise his proficiency in sword mastery, perseverance and resilience stats. His bandaging skill was already mastered making Weed frustrated that he could not raise it up higher.
“Keeping this course I am sure something will pop up.”
Following the course of the river, Weed searched the vicinity as he went further upstream. Golden Bird and Silver Bird were tasked with exploring deep within the dangerous forest.
At the point where the forest and the marsh blended together, was where all the top predators of Grapass was located. Compared to these monsters, Kellkogs were scavengers trying to survive near the river bed.
“Bingryong, go left and stir things up a bit.”
“Yes, master.”
Bingryong and Phoenix supported the battle in between. When too many Kellkogs bunched up Bingryong’s breath or Phoenix’s flame spewed out before they fought.
“There is a house further up, master.”
Wyvern reported his aerial surveillance.
There were three rivers flowing through Grapass. There was no definite rule that Zahab was still living in Grapass, so he had to go and check personally.
Advancing carefully ahead with his Sculpture Lifeforms, a wide lake appeared at the upper reach of the river. The lake was beautiful with clear water reflecting the trees and the evening sun. And near the lake was a picturesque log cabin.
“Somehow, it feels like Zahab might just be there…”
Weed looked at the quality of the logs and its cuts. It was beyond normal workmanship.
“Now the standard present before visiting…”
Weed took out the gift plate prepared for him by Mapan from his backpack. Even if it was someone other than Zahab, the item could still raise intimacy! Any residents of Grapass would be beyond ordinary, so it was necessary to build favour beforehand.
Time to time, when out adventuring it was possible to meet the original inhabitant. Certain tribes could be hostile. The elves, dwarves, barbarian were usually on the friendly side while the humans were aggressive. At that time by showing shiny marbles or set of plates as gifts, it was enough to placate them.
“Is there anyone here?”
Weed called out loudly in front of the house and after a moment the door opened. Without a doubt, 100%, the person coming out was elderly.
“It’s the first time anyone visited my house. Yes, what is the purpose of your visit?”
Weed thinking it might be Zahab, continued.
“I came here to find a person.”
“I have been living here for some time now and I have never met any other humans. The forest over there has 1 hunter, and two sinners that ran from the law… but who did you came looking for? ”
The whiff of poverty that could be felt from the eyes and below.
“I came here looking for Zahab of Rosenheim Kingdom.”
The old man stroke his beard while nodding his head.
“My name is Zahab. You found him correctly.”
