Chapter 69：The Dungeon Lord plants more Turpins

In my hands there were the few Turpins seed pods that were left, completely dry and ready to be harvested.

I put them all in the bag I got from Bia, closed the bag, took out my war hammer and started hitting the bag.

One two One two!

Left right left right!

Kick smash thrust push!

Aaaaand... we are done!

It would be better to use a broomstick but I got no brooms here so due to the lack of better alternative I had used my war hammer handle.

Opening the bag I could see the seed pods had been smashed and most of the seeds, if not all, had fallen to the deepest part of the bag, so I took the dry parts out and kept the seeds that were left.

With the seeds in hand, it was time to plant them, so I called the kids and told them how to do it.

Separating the seeds in 11 portions, 1 for me and one for each kid, I distributed them and we started planting.

I wanted to sing a song while working but my memory failed me again so all I could do was plant them in silence and try to prepare a song for the next time.

Really, aren't I being a little too carefree? Thinking what music to sing while planting seeds when there is a whole army of orcs marching toward us?

Well, it can't be helped. Although we had a few encounters and all, it still doesn't feel real, you know, a whole army of orcs invading this place...

Sigh...I can't even imagine...

I look around me and see the kids having fun while planting the seeds.

Yeah, I really can't imagine, and let's pray there never comes the day when I actually can.

With a new objective in mind, I started planting again with renewed energy.

"Everybody, great job! As promised I will summon a pet for the winner. Victor, you are the one who planted the most seeds, what kind of pet do you want?"

Please, something cheap! Please, something cheap! Please, something cheap! Please, something-

"A Big Dog!"

cheap... well, it could be a lot worse...

"All right! But it's already late tonight and to summon your dog we need some preparation (and Mana), so, let's leaving the summoning for tomorrow, all right?"

"Hmm.....all right. Thanks uncle Plate!"

"No problem! Now go sleep tight in your new hammocks!"

As I send the kids off, I felt two presences approaching me from behind.

""Hey Plate! Thanks for all your hard work!""

"Hello Lil, Tal, what have you two been up to?"

"Oh, nothing much, just helping with the moving..."

"Just when we thought we could relax Geo appeared out of nowhere and started giving out order, ruining our fun."

"Well, it makes sense, everybody is busy with all we have to do..."

"Yeah, so Geo sent us here to tell you he is planning to depart tomorrow morning since night already fell."

"Oh! All right, no problem."

"And he also asked if it was possible to free Michella as he wanted to have a word with her."

"Sure, but who is Michella??"

"The warrior girl who was with us."

"Oh! The Mad Dog Girl!"

""Pf-Hahahahahaha!""

"Yeah, yeah, the mad dog girl!"

"Really, Plate! You are the only one who can call Michella a mad dog and remain alive!"

"As expected of our husband!"

"Please, don't start! Building mode!... Done! You can take her now."

In a fast trained action I freed the girl from the pillar in less than 3 seconds.

I need to admit that all the help setting the refugees camp added a lot to my mastery over Mana control, now I can do detailed work at a few meters distance that I could only do right in front of me before.

Without the pillar holding her, Ma- Michella start falling forward but was supported by one of the twins.

"Thanks Plate! We will be going now! Mimi, Geo is calling you."

Did I just heard she call her Mimi? Hehe, whatever, let's ignore it... or save it for the next time...

"Take care, and warn me first if you need to exit the cave! I will dig another path to you!"

Unsure if they heard me or not, I visited the little Princess who had already fallen asleep then kept walking until I reached the Dungeon Core.

Looking at the Dungeon Core, I remembered the System Messages I heard about signing contract and allies settings. They said something about now being able to change settings here in the Dungeon Core, I wonder what is this all about...

"Alliance!"

...Nothing...

"Ally Setting!"

...Nothing...

Sigh... this brings back memories...

Well, at least I'm not using my head anymore, hehe...

"Ally Permission!"

...Nothing...

"Ally!"

...Nothing...

"Allies!"

...Nothing...

"Friend Settings!"

...Nothing...

"Companion Settings!"

...Nothing...

Damn! Why is this so hard!? Couldn't this came with a Manual!?

...

Let's keep trying, we got all night...
