When I arrive in the vige I came across a big change in the vige Guardian who evolved into a race called the Forest Being, it seems she had help for that, she also said she had a message from a Spirit Queen for me.
"She said she helped me evolve into a wood elemental and a Holy Beast as a reward for you fulfilling the Spirits'' request, but it''s up to me whether I choose to make a contract with you or not." (Forest Being)
"Wait a minute! What kind of reward is this? What contract are you talking about? And what do you mean a Holy Beast?" (I)
"One question at a time, we have time, so I''ll exin it to you." (Forest Being)
"I will start by exining what a Holy Beast is, you already know that Fairies take care of nature''s mana and Spirits take care of nature''s spiritual energy, this helps nature to maintain its bnce." (Forest Being)
"Holy Beasts are monsters that can harmonize with nature just like Fairies or Spirits, their duty is to take care of nature''s Ki, normally only monsters from the 10th generation have chances to be a Holy Beast, the other alternative is to be chosen worthy by a Fairy and a high-level Spirit, so they could help the monster harmonize with nature as was my case." (Forest Being)
"When a monster bes a Holy Beast its body is transformed by the Ki of nature and a pure element, so the Holy Beast many feces bes an elemental monster, in my case, I became a Wood Elemental, I am from a race rare call of the Being of the Forest." (Forest Being)
"About contracts, it''s easy to exin, Holy Beasts can make contracts just like Fairies and Spirits, but it must be of their own volition." (Forest Being)
"As for your reward, it looks like it''s the opportunity to form a contract with me, all they asked was for me to stay close to you for a while and see if I would agree to form a contract with you or not." (Forest Being)
"I think I get it, but why would I want to form another contract when I have two at the moment? I''m happy with what I already have." (I)
"This is something I learned a little while ago when I became a Holy Beast a lot of new information popped into my head." (Forest Being)
"It seems that there are rare people who have the ability to use more than one type of energy, but there are also rare people who can train in three types of energy like you." (Forest Being)
"You must know that forming a contract with a Fairy, a Spirit or a Holy Beast is not an easy thing, but for the rare who have managed to form a contract with the three types of beings that care for nature, they get a great gift." (Forest Being)
"They earn the title of the trinity of nature, with that title one will be blessed by nature itself, that''s all I know." (Forest Being)
Sigh
"What kind of reward is this that I might leave with nothing?" (I)
"You should be happy Zenos, the number of Holy Beasts is much less than Spirits and Fairies, they are also rare who choose to make contracts with people." (Forest Being)
"Please don''t tell me that you also want to form some Cradle of the Holy Beasts." (I)
"No, that doesn''t exist, a Holy Beast is not born, a monster needs to be worthy to be a Holy Beast, that''s a great honor." (Forest Being)
"Do you Holy Beasts also have a God?" (I)
"Yes, the Beast God Cratos." (Forest Being)
I was surprised by the things I learned from the Vige Guardian, after a long conversation I walked with her to the vige leader''s house, soon I was leaving, so I wanted to talk to her onest time.
As soon as I arrived I found the vige leader and everyone on the council, they were silent as if they were waiting for something when I entered everyone looked at me with a face full of expectation.
For some reason, Ivan, Freya, érica, and Vanessa were there too, as soon as I entered they came to me.
"Looks like you found the Guardian, I was very surprised when I saw her earlier, but it''s a relief to know I don''t need to leave her behind, it was eating my heart out inside." (Sapphire)
"I always told you to stop thinking about me and do your duty as vige leader." (Forest Being)
"You took care of me and everyone in the vige from a young age, you taught and trained us, there is no one in the vige who would leave you behind." (Sapphire)
"Stop talking, you''re going to make me cry Sapphire." (Forest Being)
"From your conversation, it looks like you guys decided to leave, right?" (I)
"Yes, we chose to leave the mountain range, there is no future for us here." (Sapphire)
"We would like to know if you would be willing to help us?" (Nymph leader)
"I help with great pleasure, I imagine it would be difficult to move so many people across the mountain range." (I)
"I think you misunderstood Father." (Vanessa)
"Huh!?" (I)
"When you arrived at the vige I told you that there is no ce on this continent where we could build a vige, we would be attacked wherever we went." (Sapphire)
"But we can''t stay where we are either, in addition to the problems caused by the miasma, there are also the armies that Vanessa ims areing this way." (Sapphire)
"After a long conversation with some of your group and the vige council, we came to a unanimous decision." (Sapphire)
When the vige leader finished speaking, everyone stood up and walked towards me, then got on their knees and bowed their heads, even the people in my group got on their knees.
"What are you guys doing? Why is everyone kneeling?" (I)
"Zenos, as the vige leader I beg you to let us live in your dungeon, allow us to build a ce where we will never be in danger again." (Sapphire)
"What? Do you want to stay in the Dungeon?" (I)
"Master, please ept them, they are trusted people with whom we fight side by side." (Ivan)
"They have nowhere else to go, please ept it, Father." (Vanessa)
Why is everyone making a request like this to me, I only let them live a few days in the Dungeon while we were fighting Farus.
"..." (I)
My head was already hurting as I tried to understand this situation, they took me by surprise this time, I didn''t know what I should do, I looked at the people kneeling on the floor and then at the door still open behind me to see the vige.
"(If I refuse where will they go?)" (I)
"I always told the master that it was only a matter of time before people gathered around him." (érica)<sub> </sub>
"Someone like you would sooner orter attract people, even if you refuse to ept them now, simr situations will happen again." (érica)
"The master likes the people of this vige, you also led these people several times over these days, so why doubt her now." (Ivan)
<o>,m "It''s one thing to host people for a few days, it''s quite another to let those people live with you." (I)</o>
"I know this is a sudden request, it took me a long time to ept this myself, but you have shown yourself to be trustworthy many times." (Sapphire)
"All yourbat ns took into ount the lives that would be lost in the process, you helped by providing weapons, armor, potions, andbat clothing to my vige, you even thought about how we could feed ourselves by nting fruit trees and sharing the monsters that you hunted." (Sapphire)
"You even provided treatment for the wounded and sick, everything you''ve done is something I as a vige leader should have done, I can never repay everything you''ve done so far." (Sapphire)
"After all you''ve done for this vige I know I''m asking a lot, but please allow us to build a vige in your dungeon?" (Sapphire)
"(After all you''ve said, I can''t refuse...)" (I)
Sigh
"Alright, alright I ept, now stand up." (I)
"What trouble have I gotten myself into..." (I)
When I said I epted the council people started hugging each other after getting up, the vige leader shakes Ivan''s hand and I see the vige guardian crying with a smile on her face as she sees everyone cheering.
After that, the vige leader apanied by the vige council leaves the house and they walk towards the center of the vige, while they are going the vige people follow them, in the center of the vige the Orc representative stamps his foot on the ground and a part of the solo gets up, so the vige leader and the others go up there and wait for the vige people to gather before they start talking out loud.
"From today onwards the vige of Lamias no longer exists." (Sapphire)
"Earlier today I told everyone the dangerous situation we find ourselves in, I also told the ns to move to a new location and build a new vige." (Sapphire)
"Now I am happy to say that we have permission to build our new vige in Dungeon Eclipse, now we wee the new vige leader Zenos!!!" (Sapphire)
"ZENOS!!!"
"ZENOS!!!"
"ZENOS!!!"
"ZENOS!!!"
"ZENOS!!!"
with the speech to the vige leader I realized that she had already told the situation to everyone in the vige, it seems that she even told that she was nning to create a vige inside my Dungeon, at that moment I remember that the camp was with all the things still there, but no one was inside the Dungeon, it was then that I realized that she was already getting ready for when I epted.
When I looked at the people screaming my name I see that some people started to take the boxes with everything stored and take them to the Dungeon gate, the people who were putting everything away when I left the Dungeon were preparing for this moment.
"I was tricked..." (I)
"Deceived is a strong word, we just knew you would ept it." (Vanessa)
"I knew the master wasn''t going to leave the people of this vige to their own devices." (Ivan)
The vige leaderes towards me with a big smile and taps my shoulder as she talks to me.
"I''ll always be with you Vige leader, you don''t know what a relief it is not having this responsibility anymore hahahahahaha..." (Sapphire)
"What?" (I)
Ding!
"Now all that''s left to do is give your vige a name, choose a name that represents us." (Sapphire)
"You who should be the vige leader." (I)
"The Dungeon is yours, so you''re the vige leader, I thought it was obvious, now that you''ve epted it, you can''t go back on your word, can you?" (Sapphire)
"I was tricked..." (I)
"Let''s not cry vige leader, at least choose a name for your vige." (Sapphire)
"Come on Dad, the days are going to be more fun with so many people." (Vanessa)
I wiped the sweat that was running down my eyes, before surrendering to this situation.
Sigh
"Okay, looks like I have nowhere to run, so I''ll at least pick a good name." (I)
"That''s how you talk." (Forest Being)
I close my eyes and spend a few minutes thinking about the features of the vige, I try to think about what makes this vige unique, then I look down and see my shadow, at that moment an ideaes to my mind.
"How about the name being Shadow Vige after all the Dungeon is in my Shadow as well as the whole vige." (I)
"That''s a good name." (Sapphire)
"Liked it." (Vanessa)
"That name gives a certain degree of mystery." (Ivan)
"May the Vige of Shadows prosper under yourmand Zenos." (Forest Being)
Ding!
