Chapter 16 (Three Years Later)
It may be that the orcs are the nemesis of the elves, or the elves have almost consumed their national strength in the past ten years. In the battle with the Fierce Wolf Empire, the Yuesen Kingdom lost one after another, causing the Fierce Wolf Empire to fight eight beautiful battles in a row!!
In the third year after Deklaas brought Mesena home and Lily returned home on her own, because of the successive defeats in the battle with the Wolf Empire, the Tsukimori Kingdom had to change the war zone on the side of the Wolf Empire from an offensive posture to a defensive posture.
Therefore, the fierce wolf empire, which also consumes huge national strength, has entered a period of recovery of national strength. Due to the need to restore the reopening of a large number of factories and shops, the empire resettled most of the displaced people in various places instead of sending them back to their homeland.
As a slum city with more paupers than civilians, Colreas City became a key target of the Empire. Therefore, most of the gangsters, at this time, have changed from trading on the black market to trading in legal open-faced stores.
And you want a large number of alchemists and workers to support these shops, otherwise, like the black market, there is only a little bit of something, and customers can't buy what they want, it's not good.
As the niece of the great lich Deklaas, Chirek boldly opened an alchemy shop called 'Alchemy of the Dead' in the center of the city, which is relatively close to Deklaas's house.
In this shop, there are a total of five beginner-level alchemists, two middle-level alchemists, and the high-level alchemist Deklaas. Among those junior and junior alchemists, two were alchemists in the workshop that Deklaas had managed before, and the others had come from other places to take advantage of the opportunity to find work.
To be honest, the name of Undead Alchemy, if it was in the Shengyao Empire, would probably scare away a lot of timid customers. But most of the orcs are bold and careful, so the traffic of this alchemy item shop is one of the top three in the entire Colradars City!!
In addition, half a year ago, Lily became pregnant with Deklaas's child again. Because she has eaten the fruit of her Heavenly Father, Lily is not afraid of the death of a half-undead child!!
At this time, Lily, who had a big belly, was very lazily leaning on the sofa in the study, watching Liz and Otos play chess. Compared with his half-sister Vivien, Otos, who can never speak, likes Liz, an unrelated sister, even more.
Because more than three years have passed, the two kittens that Deklaas bought back have become a pair of very healthy big cats. And, too, they have children.
With the cat's side, the psychological shadow caused by Otos's many years of life as a killer has been wiped away. Now he is just a thirteen-year-old boy who is too tall and looks fierce.
Although the children younger than Otos dare not play with Otos, the children who are older than him will take him to play with them. After all, he is tall and a little hideous and scary, and he can easily scare away the bad guys. In this regard, their parents are more supportive. After all, Deklaas's character and prestige are relatively good in the city of Colleis. They are also able to trust Otos and are able to protect their children from being bullied by bad guys while playing.
In addition, Pamia Hahn's younger brother is actually only one year older than Otos, so after the closure of the weapon alchemy workshop, he followed Deklaas to learn mana forging, the basic skills of this alchemist, and the basic etiquette of the Fierce Wolf Empire.
The reason why Deklaas let Otos learn mana forging was not because he had the idea of letting Otos inherit the mantle. I just want to make Otos, who can sometimes become very short-tempered, and only Liz can calm down, can learn to calm down. After all, forging alchemy items is a job that requires calm and carefulness to complete, and it cannot be done casually!!
And the reason why Candela Reb learned alchemy was entirely because his sister said that alchemy was a very, very lucrative profession! Like blacksmithing, it was a profession that could not be missing no matter what. You know, whether it's weapons or farm tools, if no one builds them, it will cause the entire city or country to collapse!
As for Pamia Hahn and Quedli Reb, the father who had been completely fed by his son during the war, now also worked as a tailor in a clothing store in the city.
For the title of completely separating the city of Correas from the slum city, the Fierce Wolf Empire can be described as painstaking. All kinds of funding are coming. Soon, the number of civilians in the city of Coledas outnumbered the number of paupers.
"What are you going to eat tonight?? After watching Lisy and Otos' game of chess for a while, Lily asked Deklaas, who had just brought her a glass of milk.
"It's all your favorite stuff today, don't worry. Deklaas kissed Lily on the cheek, then replied very gently.
In the past three years, Deklaas has been very gentle with Lily and Messena, as well as everyone in the family. It makes people feel that he is very reliable and does not get angry. However, the prosthetic eyes worn by Messena and Lily indicate that Deklaas is an angry undead, and a terrible undead.
After spending some time with Lily, Deklaas went to help out in the kitchen. After all, if she only asked Messena to prepare lunch, she would be tired. It's unlikely, but Deklaas won't let it be a little bit likely.
It's really strange to say, Pamia Hahn is a child who is very diligent in all the housework, but she doesn't know how to cook at all. The food she prepared was either too salty or tasteless, so that everyone didn't dare to let her prepare food.
"How's the lunch going??do you want me to help??" asked Deklaas as he hugged Messna, who was frying fish steaks, from behind.
"Of course!!! Messena kissed Deklaas on the cheek affectionately, and then commanded very skillfully.
"Okay, dear. Deklaas smiled slightly, and kissed Meshna's white neck lightly, making her laugh coquettishly, before she went to prepare the vegetable soup.
Deklaas didn't notice that when he kissed Messena, Messena's body trembled slightly. Obviously, three years have not erased the fear in her heart, she is still very afraid of Deklaas...
