Chapter 21: trust and sincerity
When they are just about 5 kilometers away from the city they met with a
wolf pack that has around 10 wolves.
There are more wolves this time and the scout party will not be able to
fight of these wolves with their strength.
So the best option is to flee
as quickly as possible towards the city of Agarat.
Chandu wanted to let out some
profane words to ease his stress but the situation did not even give that much
of time.
The scout team leader first
shot a flare into the sky using the flare gun that he has.
The previous scout team also
has this flare gun but they did not shoot the flare for some reason that Chandu
don’t know.
Right now that flare gun is
in his storage.
After shooting the glare gun,
the scout team leader immediately threw some beast repellent smoke bombs behind
the group.
Then they went on a mad flee
towards the city while shooting two more flares on the way.
Fortunately they were very
close to the city and the second flare was noticed by the scout post of the
city wall.
They immediately dispatched a
team of monster hunters towards the direction of the scout team’s flare.
The scout team was almost
surrounded by the wolves and some of the members of the scout team started to
fight the wolves.
At that moment the monster
hunting team arrived and the fight went on.
They did not gave Chandu any
weapons so he can only threw rocks or branches of the trees to fight.
But Chandu don’t want to
fight as these monster wolves are far stronger than he can fight.
For this reason he can only
wait and find an opportunity to steal the monster cores.
He did not have anything to
poke the monster wolves.
Chandu moved around slowly
and sneakily using his hiding skill so that the people would not notice or
remember what he is doing.
He made his way to the
corpses of the monster wolves and used the finder skill with a question on how
to steal the monster cores without anyone noticing him.
The idea given by the finder
skill is the same as before when he poked the zombie corpses to get the monster
cores using the iron rod.
But this time he is not using
an iron rod instead he is going to use the wooden stick to poke the already
existing hole or wound of the monster wolf corpse to get the monster core.
Well this way he cannot get
the monster cores of all the wolves.
One of the scout team members
died when fighting.
Chandu used that as the
opportunity to scavenge the sword from the dead scout member for self defence.
Then he tried his best to
defend the corpse of the dead scout member from the wolf that wanted to take a
bite and escape.
Well this is not an
instruction from the finder skill but Chandu’s own judgement.
He wanted to use this
opportunity to get a solid foundation of trust.
He observed and deduced from
the information that he got from the city of Agarat that these people values
military moral.
The person that fights and
dies in the battle is much valued than a person that serves the god in a
temple.
So what Chandu did right now
have high value and the scout team that first came to Chandu’s town and killed
all those people are the worst.
Well all kinds of people are
mixed in when the power to rule depends on the strength and military
contributions.
All in all what Chandu did
was a good thing that gains him trust and value.
The team finally killed the
wolves and sat on the spot seems to be exhausted.
They don't want to stay there
in the bloody smell that can attract other monster.
So they quickly packed up the
available materials and an intact wolf corpse to take back to the city for some
research.
The monster hunter team used
a variety of attack patterns and weapons ranging from sword, gauntlets, and
even guns....
The entire job was done very
quickly and Chandu was the only extra who don't know what to do.
Chandu helped carry the dead
scout team member which was appreciated by the other members.
Soon after that they made
their way to the city.
There is an emergency meeting
again in the outer hall near the city walls.
City lord and most of the
officials were present.
The first thing they did was
to pay respects to their dead man scout team member.
Then their attention was
drawn to the bull sized monster wolf corpse.
They were shocked to find
that even the monsters have evolved.
The problem has become bigger
and the point here is what Chandu said is actually true and then they moved on
to see the books that Chandu brought back.
These books contain the
details related to science and research at the professor level starting from
student level.
Chandu slowly explained the
details of the books he brought.
Even though he is only a high
school student, it is not difficult to explain about a few things from the
basics.
The researchers here were
able to understand the concept and the depth of the technology that the people
from earth reached.
They confirmed that what
Chandu said is true and the knowledge that Chandu brought back was at least 20
to 30 years advanced from their core technology.
This is especially true
towards the weapons and communication.
At the same time they
understood the problem with the construction of buildings that did not have
magic circles and runes.
This made the buildings
vulnerable to the heavy earthquakes causing the destruction of the buildings on
Chandu’s earth.
They also concluded that the
theory of their planets merging by Chandu was also true....
