/After a considerably awkward assembly…/
/Step…/
Dale and the Elders returned to Resko, stuffed with sand and complaints however with a brand new perspective for the long run.
With every little thing Dale shared and knew, that they had a lot to arrange and take into consideration, as such, most of them, or higher stated, they unanimously determined to go about their methods first and meet once more one other time, their ideas sorted and their concepts written all the way down to be mentioned at a later date.
It was round this time Dale handed over a number of the objects he acquired from Babylon to the Elders, issues he acquired from the Loot Packing containers and Missions he had no objective for.
The scales he ripped from the beasts he slew, the ores he mined as he went on together with his contracts, and the miscellaneous issues he drew from his Loot Packing containers, though most of these labored higher as presents than anything.
He even had a bottle of fragrance, one thing he was fascinated by who to provide it as a present…
When he realized simply how many individuals he needed to contemplate, his brow tensed…
All of this was one thing he had already executed up to now timeline, apart from the fragrance as he forgot about it.
He was simply doing the identical now, crossing off one other line in his to-do checklist.
Do not forget, he even had just a few Loot Packing containers to open…
However earlier than sorting these issues… He determined to alter one thing first…
“Trainer, are you able to wait a bit. I would like to speak to you.” Dale stated in a low tone as he patted Testros’ left shoulder
“Hm? Oh, after all… Actually, I am glad you approached me, I have been fascinated by it and I believe I wasn’t fairly thoughtful of you final time we had a correct speak.”
“… We’ll be on our manner then, do not forget Dale, tomorrow we’ll speak once more about all of this, however for now… I imagine all of us want a while to assume.” Sarferato stated as he appeared round
/Nod…/
Everybody nodded, it was an anticipated end result, they have been baffled by this sequence of occasions and though that they had recovered considerably, it was clear they wanted a while to assume.
They have been previous and principally smart, however the older one will get, would not this improve their shock upon studying one thing new? Much more, if it was this ridiculous?
Other than that, Dale additionally wanted to share with them his data of the long run, no matter little it might be.
So with that, they dispersed, going every their respective methods, some collectively, like Sarferato and his son, some on their very own, Like Barme who instantly returned to his forge, forsaking Dale and Testros on the gates of Resko.
“Earlier than something… I believe we must always transfer some place else. There’s too many eyes round right here.” Testros stated as he appeared round
To no shock, all the Elders gathering collectively on the gates of the Village would entice fairly the eye, from each gamers and Villagers alike.
Instantly after they moved to an alley close to the gates, going via the cleared ruins of a number of homes earlier than climbing a set of previous stone staircases, climbing to the highest of the wall, standing earlier than the huge expanse of the golden desert.
“… /Clears throat/… Ahem, as I stated earlier than, I have been wishing to speak to you want this.”
“Final time we spoke collectively… Was it once we welcomed these poor folks? I’ve to apologize, I have been too centered on my ideas to take a seat down and speak to you… No, anybody even.”
“And the few occasions we did communicate… Properly, it wasn’t precisely nice, coping with the problem of the Village’s administration and all…”Up to date from n0velb(i)n.c(o)/m
Dale nodded, it wasn’t outdoors of his expectations.
Within the various timeline, Testros would stay in his personal ‘bubble’ for just a little longer earlier than deciding to do one thing to assist the Village.
Whereas Sarferato was busy educating principally Dale, he would take it upon himself to show a number of youngsters along with a number of others.
Resko wanted correct combatants, and now it did not lack candidates.
Of the 5000 or so newcomers, there have been over 1000 underaged adults, they usually wanted to do one thing.
The younger kids might simply go play and socialize, there have been many housewives to assist care for them as Illia alone would not be sufficient, and regardless, she was now busy together with her restaurant.
As for the remainder, those that might do one thing might assist just a little right here and there with little duties not overly harmful earlier than going again to play, reminiscent of serving to the adults clear a park so that they had an area to run round.
‘Final however not least, the System itself is constructed to speed up the expansion of its customers, despite the fact that I can not fairly outline how a lot it does so.’
‘All of that collectively made me develop at an unbelievable velocity, being laborious for me to outline simply how a lot I really grew.’
‘A complete 12 months of coaching in two months? Perhaps extra, possibly much less…’
‘Now, there are various issues I can’t relive once more as there could be no objective for it, being merely a waste of assets or time…’
‘And that is one such factor.’

“… You stated your biggest remorse was following the Commander’s orders, proper? When every little thing started to break down, you ran away, changing into the one one left.”
“That is… That is proper. It nonetheless pains me to consider it…” Testros replied as his expression turned gloomy
“However what does this must do with something? I’ve already determined to throw it that manner, to reside within the current, that was my choice. I believed I had made that clear.”
Though his phrases weren’t saying it outright, Testros was clearly upset at Dale, considerably scolding him for his lack of empathy. It was nearly as if he was treating his biggest remorse as some type of annoyance.
It wasn’t nice to listen to, it was even hurtful… Particularly when he thought-about him to be household, nearly just like the son he by no means had.
“Sorry if I sounded impolite. The factor is… I can not change the previous, I am not the Goddess…”
“However I may give you an opportunity to realize a distinct consequence.”
“Wh… What are you speaking about Dale?”
“It is… One thing higher skilled than defined.” Dale replied as he rotated, leaving the wall
‘There’s nothing else for me to see in there… Actually, I believe that was by no means meant to be given to me.’
‘I do not know who’s behind the System’s rewards, but when it is an AI or a Goddess, I believe I can say for sure that they had one other proprietor in thoughts for it.’
‘Recollections ought to belong to those who made them, not anybody else.’
“Wait a minute, we’re not executed but…”
“When you’re prepared. Whenever you imagine your self able to going through the previous… Crush the marble. And you will perceive what I am speaking about.”
“A phrase of recommendation, be sure to’re mendacity on a mattress or sitting in a chair while you achieve this.”
With that, Dale went down the steps, leaving solely a pensive previous man behind.
“…”
‘… Face the previous… My regrets…’
‘What’s it that you just discovered this time, child?…’
For just a few lengthy minutes, Testros didn’t consider something as he appeared on the distant desert.
