Chapter 326: Guilt
Ignoring his worry, Angus comes closer to Jayna and kisses her cheek. Angus\' familiar presence wakes Jayna from her sleep. Unconsciously, she immediately tried to snuggle on Angus while still closing her eyes.
Seeing the spoiled princess in his arms, "Wakey.. Wakey.. My princess. We have a lot to do today." said Angus.
"Emm.. Morning, Angus." replied Jayna groggily while yawning.
However, Jayna is still reluctant to leave Angus.
"Come on, we need to get ready." said Angus.
"No way, I still want to be with you." said Jayna.
"Haa.. Jayna, we need to…" said Angus.
Before Angus ended his sentence, "Angus, I missed you so much. Please… Let me be with you for a while." said Jayna.
"Jayna, you know we can\'t do that. You need to get ready and come back to your room." said Angus.
"No.. I don\'t want to. I don\'t care what other people see of me. I just want to be with you. Angus… You don\'t know how much I miss your presence. I.. I…" said Jayna.
Hearing this, Angus begins to feel guilty and immediately hugs Jayna.
"I am sorry. I am sorry, Jayna. I shouldn\'t do this kind of thing to you. I just want you to become mine completely. I can\'t bear to lose you be it in mind or body. I love you so much, Jayna." said Angus.
"Angus…" said Jayna.
"Jayna, from now on. I will not do that massage and touch you carelessly anymore. I don\'t want you to change and influence you because of that." said Angus.
"No.. No… why? Did I do something wrong?" said Jayna while starting to tear up.
"Jayna, calm down and listen to me. The massage and lovely touch that I often give you could slowly cloud your mind and change you. You will gradually become addicted to it and will long for me. I don\'t want that to happen to you.
"I feel like playing with your mind, but at the same time, I also want to do that since I can\'t bear to lose you. I am a bad boyfriend. You should hate me for trying to manipulate your feelings." said Angus.
Hearing this, Jayna begins to surprise for a while before embracing Angus.
"Stupid, Angus. I already realize what you did is changing me from the start. But I don\'t care about them. I also want you to be the only person that has my body and mind. Even if you didn\'t give me this kind of pleasure, I still will be longing and miss you."
"Besides, Angus, you already see and touch almost every part of my body. I won\'t forgive you if you suddenly stopped halfway. I can\'t be someone else\'s bride beside you.? I already belong to you." said Jayna while kissing Angus lovingly.
Hearing this, Angus feels the knots and worry in his heart gone. He immediately embraces Jayna and replies to her kiss.
"Jayna, I am glad to have you as my lover. I promise and vow never to leave you." said Angus.
Then, Angus carries her to the bathroom and begins to have another passionate bath together before getting ready. After that, both of them get out from the Angus room towards Jayna\'s room. Fortunately, no guards are staying around since it is still early in the morning.
Arriving at Jayna\'s room, they find the little troublemaker Anna sleeping on the big bed by herself peacefully. Jayna immediately brings her to the bathroom nearby without waking her up since she knows it will take forever to wake her completely.
In the meantime, Angus decides to read a book on a nearby couch while waiting for Jayna to prepare the sleepy head. A moment later, they decide to visit the black fortress wall.
During the way, they find the news and bounty job for hunting monsters spread to the entire fortress resident. Fosa and Borkins decide to release a bounty job rather than hire a specific adventurer to clear up the monsters.
To open the path for their elite team, they planned to use adventurers to clear the monster nearby with the bounty job. Using the gathered information from the scout, they could pave some path to the Ogre territory. However, this path also happens crossing another monster\'s territory.
Therefore, they decide to use the bounty job to reduce and hunt these monsters that collide with their elite team route. To make it more effective, they will only accept the bounty of those monsters for the time being while ignoring the other monster.
This makes the monsters that didn\'t collide with the elite team route left alone. If these monsters are left alone for a long time, they may also create some trouble or possibly become a monster wave.
Therefore, Angus and Jayna decide to start hunting this monster along with a few other lower-grade combatant teams from the Black Fortress. Arriving at the massive black wall, Angus couldn\'t help wanting to inspect all the things about the humongous wall.
As soon as Angus arrives at the black wall, he gets a lot of notifications from his system.
"Acquired 250 soul points."
"Acquired 100 soul points."
"Acquired 500 soul points."
"Acquired 850 soul points."
Angus keeps getting the notification without end and increases in his soul points.
While all of these were happening, Angus could see many gray-colored balls coming towards his body. He finds that all these balls are coming from the massive black wall itself. This kind of phenomenon makes Angus rooted on his spot for a while.
"Angus, is there anything wrong?" asked Jayna.
"Ehh.. Did you see all these small gray balls coming towards me?" asked Angus while keeping getting system notifications.
"Gray balls? I don\'t see anything and everything looks normal." said Jayna.
\'She didn\'t see these things??\' thought Angus inwardly.
"Err.. Nothing, let\'s continue." said Angus.
"Are you sure?" asked Jayna worriedly.
"Yeah, everything is fine. Let\'s go." said Angus.
Then, they decide to inspect the surrounding Forest from the top of the wall before starting to hunt the nearby monster. They need to make sure there will not be some nearby monster coming to the Fortress while their team goes hunting.
Arriving at the top of the wall, they could see many loggers doing their work cutting down the nearby black tree. Because of the strange nature of the Dark Forest, the black colored forest could keep expanding their area.
Many pitch black colored trees and vegetation could grow overnight to expand the Forest area. Moreover, it is not only the vegetation that expands but also the miasma in the air. Therefore, the Foragers and Lumberjacks need to cut the tree and stop the Dark Forest\'s expansion.
Although the pitch-black tree is quite sturdy but with enchanted tools and axes, they could easily be cut down. If it is not because of the danger of monsters, they could easily reduce the area of Dark Forest.
Even now, Angus could feel a few adventurers and soldiers fighting stray low-level monsters to protect the lumberjacks. Ignoring all of these, Angus begins to use [Great Mana Echolocation] to detect every monster within a dozen kilometers radius.
Then, he begins to write down the approximation of the monster location and number while keeping using Great Mana Echolocation many times along the wall.
By the time he finished mapping out all the nearby monsters, his system notification finally stopped, and all the gray balls were also absorbed into his body. Seeing this, he began to remember the same incident a few years ago during his time in the academy.
\'If I am not wrong, at that time, that gray ball came from the Palpat stone.\' thought Angus.
"Excuse me, May I know what this wall is made of?" asked Angus towards the expert that maintained the wall.
"Ohh.. I am not too sure myself since this wall has been renovated many times with various kinds of materials. It contained a lot of material, be it Manatium, Rodent Alloy, Fireash Stone, Antiwater Stone, and many more." said the expert.
"I see. Is the Palpat stone also one of them?" asked Angus.
"Yes, as one of the natural hardest materials in Firuman, it certainly has part of it. The last major renovation during the monster overlord incident a few years ago also used a lot of Palpat stone."
"Furthermore, some records even said that the wall foundation is 70% made of Palpat stone." said the expert.
"I see… Thanks for the information and please continue your work." said Angus while giving him a gold coin.
"No problem. You could have asked me anytime about the wall." said the expert after receiving the gold coin gladly.
\'It seems the soul points really come from the Palpat stone. Well, since it is beneficial to me, I will not complain about it.\' thought Angus.
"Angus, is there something wrong with the wall?" asked Jayna from the side.
"No, it is nothing. Everything is fine. Anyway, I managed to map out the nearby monster. Let\'s give them to the other team before going out. I can not wait to explore this mysterious Dark Forest." said Angus.
"Sure, I also want to hunt and work out a little bit." replied Jayna.
"Yay.. Yay.. Finally bursting bubbles!!\' exclaimed Anna excitedly nearby.
