I Shall Evolve Everything-Chapter 13 Sight
The sun rises out of the horizon signaling the start of the third day in this realm.
Sounds of construction in the distance drew my attention. Looking out the window I could see what seemed like primitive huts housing about 30 people all tirelessly working on housing.
"Seems the ash trees have bloomed" I mutter to myself
Ignoring the sounds of construction I start my day with a shower and all the basic hygiene necessities.
After a quick breakfast provided by Tama, she started to report on the strength of the Gaul civilization.
"The Gaul civilization, or at least what was sent to this realm are relatively low on the food chain..." Tama begins ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢
Listening to the lecture it can be summarized as so. The Gaul civilization is no threat to us, their combat power being low, the only hiccup is that the Queen is able to effectively command her troops which while dangerous loses out when faced with such firepower that anything they do can just be shrugged off. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
…
Sending a message containing details on the Queens tactics and how to defeat them to the chat was a relatively quick process.
After I sent the information I remembered how Aoif had sent me a friend request intending to forge an alliance between the two of us.
Adding Aoif as a friend, I sent her a message.
[I saw your message for an alliance, what would that entail]
Almost immediately after, as if she was constantly watching her messages she replied.
[Thank you for accepting my friend request, as you know I am the only other human other than you to have an achievement worthy of being acknowledged by the system as so I assume you have speculated that I have a great talent or luck]
[Yeah, I have speculated but I assumed it was some sort of territory talent due to the nature of your achievement]
[Let me end your speculations then by saying that it was my talent that allowed me to survive and it is my talent that made me contact you. My talent is sight it allowed me to summon the highest talent summon from our initial summon and even now when I look at your name I see talent greater than even the greatest system provided summon, I see so much potential]
[Ah but the greater point of this contact is to suborn myself to you, I have no interest in ruling. If I could just watch the greatest color then I would do anything, My intuition is telling me that you are the greatest I will ever see.]
[This…]
[I know that it is asking a lot of you to give me your trust but you as well as I know that the rewards for this event include a subordinate contract, take me in for the duration of this event and at the end when we receive subordinate contracts let me suborn myself to you.]
[I don't know what to say, but for now I will put my trust in you. How can I find you to take you back to my territory.]
[I will have my summon fire a flare into the sky intermittently. Please come find me then I desperately want to see your color. Here are my general coordinates so that the flare will be useful (xx,xx,xx) ]
…
I grabbed Ali for transportation and Tama for protection then headed straight for the coordinates.
It wasn't a long trip however that doesn't mean that it wasn't far just that Ali was able to run at highway speeds without trouble.
It wasn't exactly a pleasant ride for me though Tama protected me from the wind but with no saddle for Ali I kept getting tossed around her back.
After reaching the general location of the coordinates we waited for the flare to be sent.
*boom*
A red light lit up the sky.
Going toward the origin of the flare wasn't that hard with the intermittent flares to lead us
…
The smell of blood could be sensed from our position, it wasn't hard to infer that their sending of flares had attracted the attention of hostile forces
By the time we had got there it was a bloodbath.
Just in a short count I could see over 100 bodies of worker Gauls and at the very least 4 queens.
[Ranking]
1. Aoife (1200)
2. Darwin (300)
3. Mihr (20)
4. Anael (20)
5. N/A
...
"They are here" A woman with long orange hair wearing what looks like a maid uniform crossed with military attire says in a deadpan to what seems like a blind girl.
The supposedly blind girl was striking with murky purple eyes that seemed to focus on nothing and purplish pink hair falling down on the chair she sits on.
She turned her head looking directly at me with a reverence I had never seen before. It was as if I was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.
Her eyes locked onto me with surprising clarity, a smile lighting up her face.
An involuntary whisper leaving her voice barely audible to me.
"Beautiful… so, so pretty, "she muttered.
"Ahem" I cough into my fist to break her trance but all that achieves is a tilt of the head and a wider smile. Something that I found surprisingly cute.
Without breaking eye contact she addressed me in a whisper still watching my figure
"I am Aoif, it is a pleasure to meet you"
"The pleasure is mine however I'm sure you already know but let me formally introduce myself, I am Darwin."
A small giggle escapes Aoif's lips.
"Is there something funny…" I ask in confusion.
"No nothing funny, it's just your color, it did a small bow, it was delightfully pleasant" Aoif says with a small clap of her hands.
…
Aoif led me to the inside of her house avoiding all the small obstacles even as she kept her eyes on me.
Although weird at first, the constant feeling of Aoifs eyes on me started feeling pleasant. The thought of her always staring at me was a pleasant one. A bit embarrassing though.
Another giggle left her mouth, like she could sense my embarrassment and was amused by it.
After giggling to herself for a bit she finally sat us down at the dining table.
"So you said something about you suborning yourself to me… Why if I may ask?" I start.
