Chapter 42 - 42: I Will Not Forget Your Sacrifice!
Celli saw that three birds were looking at her with a despised expression and became uncomfortable and angry.
Of course, she knew about the basic cultivation realms. She wanted to ask what's the highest cultivation of the creature inside the inner region.
But it seems like she overestimated their intelligence and in the end, she looked like a fool.
Thinking of this she became angry she wanted to curse these stupid birds but then she saw Roberts enlightened expression and swallowed the words.
Robert felt he understood a lot this time. Before he was unclear about the information about the division of cultivation realms but now it's clear.
He turned around and saw Celli standing there with an unhappy expression. Why is she unhappy now?
Forget it! If I try to find a reason now it will become more complicated. It's a waste of brain cells.
He looked at three corn bunting birds in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"
"You can call me bird emperor." The leader of the corn bunting raised his head and said proudly.
"He is my military advisor, you can call him Blood fiend." The leader of the bird is the Bird emperor said while pointing at the bird on his right.
"That's right I am Blood Fiend! I am the sword for the emperor. I will slay all the enemies of his highness to help him establish a stable and peaceful empire." The bird that is Blood fiend raised his head excitedly and said solemnly.
The Bird Emperor gave him a nod expressing his approval after that he pointed at the bird on his right and said, "She is the top minister and a civil advisor under me she manages the whole empire. You can call her..."
"Amber, my name is Amber." Amber on the right said hurriedly as if afraid that she would get a weird nickname.
"And I pledge my loyalty to his highness..." Amber saw the bird emperor glaring at her for the interruption and expressed her stance hurriedly.
Seriously if not for the fact that she is worried about their safety she would have left long ago. It's too dangerous to stay with them! Now they are in a dangerous situation and they still want to brag?
She saw Robert's face becoming black due to their bragging that's why she answered truthfully without any pretence.
Robert's mood improved somewhat after hearing her, At Least one of them is tactful who knows when to stop.
He looked at the other two and felt speechless. They are probably, No he is sure that they are Chunibyo (eighth-grade syndrome).
They have grandiose delusions…
Sigh there are people like this in every world. At first, he wanted to recruit these three in their camp as they were seriously short on labour but he changed his mind after hearing them.
This disease is contagious and he already has two idiots with him so there is no point in recruiting more.
Thinking of this he sighed helplessly and said, "You can leave now. Next time don't act recklessly, not everyone is as lenient as me."
"You should consider my offer…" The bird emperor wanted to invite him once again but Amber pulled him away.
We finally have a chance to leave and you are bringing this up again?
Do you have a death wish?
"Thank you, we will be more careful from now on."
Before leaving she did not forget to thank them and then she left with the other two.
Robert saw them disappearing in the dense forest and remained speechless.
Next time? That means you will not stop...
…...
When Robert and Celli returned to Cloud peak it was already dark. Robert named the mountain where they were living as Cloud peaks.
After sending the birds away Robert and Celli surveyed their surroundings and saw there was no strong creature living to bear them.
They are living near the border after all there are not many resources left here so no strong creature would want to live here.
On the way back Robert appeared in a daze as if there was something in his mind. Celli saw this and asked the reason but Robert said it's nothing.
As they entered the cave on the left several voices entered their ears.
"Is this how it's supposed to be?" A doubtful voice rang inside the cave, It was Slither who asked the question.
"Don't worry, In my memory, the method is the same…" A female voice rang trying to reassure others but there was an obvious lack of confidence in the voice. It's White Fang who said this.
"I also think it should be the correct method." Another voice rang and supported White Fang. It's the silly rabbit, Snowball!
Robert was doubtful about what they were talking about with Slither there should be no trouble.
But still, he quickened his pace. He was afraid that they would do something to Brine spring.
As Robert and Celli reached the end of the cave they saw Slither, White Fang and Snowball surrounding the fire and we're baking something.
Robert looked over and recognised, It's Boars Meat!
He was relieved seeing that it's just some meat they are not experimenting with the Brine Spring. It's no surprise that they were trying to cook the meat it's already dusk that made them hungry. It's just…
His nose twitched as he smelled burnt meat. He looked and saw that the meat was burned because of prolonged heating.
"Robert you are here!" At this time others noticed him and said with excitement.
"Come here Robert, I feel this meat is a bit suspicious!" Slither called Robert and said. He is talking about the meat on the fire.
"What do you mean suspicious? I made this. It must be delicious. Robert will taste it and give an evaluation." White Fang snorted and said confidently she looked at Robert with hopeful eyes.
"Well that makes sense, he is the most experienced one, after all. Come on Robert, Try it." Slither felt what White Fang said was reasonable so he shifted his attention to Robert.
Even Celli looked at Robert even though she is unclear about the situation she felt it's going to be fun
Wait wait, Why are you dragging me into this? I don't want to eat this… Robert broke out cold sweat as he looked at uneatable burned charcoal.
He looked and saw Slither, White Fang and Celli looking at him with expectation and...Excitement?
"It's delicious!" As he was thinking of a way to politely decline her he heard this. Everyone immediately shifted their attention from Robert and saw Snowball burping while lying on the ground and the pork meat was gone.
Robert almost burst into tears when he saw this. To him now Snowball is no different from an angel.
I will remember this favour. I will never forget your sacrifice! General Snowball!!
But he didn't show this emotion on his face. He merely shook his head regretfully and said, "Alas I wanted to try that meat but Snowball is the quick one.."
Several daggers like gazes fell on Snowball who was resting after having a hearty meal. Snowball felt malicious intent from others and immediately rolled its eyes and pretended to be an unconscious Rabbit.
"Forget it, don't blame him. It must be delicious, that's why Snowball could not stop himself." Robert hurriedly spoke on Snowball's behalf as he saw everyone looking at him with a dangerous gaze.
Hearing this White Fang was instantly relieved and Slither although had some doubt he chose to believe it. Only Celli has a look of disappointment on her face.
Robert saw her disappointment and was speechless, You just want to see some excitement.
She was expecting some excitement but now it's no longer possible why? Because of the snowball.
"Yes it must be delicious, don't worry Robert, I will make another for you." After hearing Robert, White Fang regained her confidence.
"No there is no need…" Robert hurriedly stopped her, Frequent experiments Like this are hazardous for health.
"Don't be shy, Robert. Wait a moment I will make another delicacy for you." White Fang said and she did not wait for his answer and started working.
"Little Fang, If you dare to cook again then forget about the diner tonight." Robert saw that she had no intention to stop so he said in a threatening tone.
"Robert You- You- You... How can you be so despicable?" White Fang stopped and looked at Robert with unbelief and anger. Seeing that he was being serious she stomped her feet and sat in the corner sulking.
Seeing her stop he sighed a breath of relief, He did not want to experience the taste of that object that can barely be considered edible.
"Alright, it's already time for dinner I will prepare something to eat. You can help me." Robert was hungry himself so he said to others. His last sentence was for White Fang to cheer her up.
"It doesn't matter you cannot make something more delicious than the meat I cooked..." White Fang mumbled as he got up.. Although she said this her Intention was as obvious as she wants to help Robert.
