The Elemental Tower - Chapter 45
Chapter 45: Where Did Dra Go?
Lin Ke massaged his temple, pulled over his quilt and sat up. He looked outside through the Tower Sight and realized that it was already evening.
Although he had gotten his rest, Lin Ke still felt as if there were something churning within his head. The sharp, stinging pain was still very palpable.
He had had after hours of deep sleep. This must not be caused by pure tiredness.
Lin Ke took a deep breath, getting ready to begin the construction of the new facility.
The arena ought to be completed by now and so was the newly arrived Alice’s Dormitory. He should be able to level up to Level 2.
In regards to the Bloodbath Arena, Lin Ke felt that the time was ripe to head over and construct it.
‘I’ll build these two units first. If I still have some time left after I’m finished, I’ll see if I should continue with building the Dormitory or the Elemental Pond.’
Lin Ke was fixated in his thoughts. He was not aware that someone was standing beside him. He got up and immediately bumped into the person. He was shocked.
It did not take long before realizing that the person was the housemaid he had just summoned today, Alice.
‘However, why is she only in her underclothes? Where is her usual housemaid uniform?’
Lin Ke stared blankly and tried to recall for a moment. Was that a quilt he just pulled over? He turned around and realized that he had used her housemaid uniform as his quilt.
“Ahh, these are your clothes.” Lin Ke frantically retrieved the uniform and handed it to her.
“Thank you, Master.” Alice received the uniform and let out a bright smile.
Lin Ke nodded and said, “There’s no need to thank me.”
“Eh?” Lin Ke had a sudden realization that the maid had addressed him as her Master instead of her Lord.
He was not uncomfortable when his subordinate heroes addressed him as their Lord.
To him, it was just a common appellation, equivalent to the title of ‘Lord’. It did not in any way affect the relationship between both parties.
Hence, Lin Ke did not bother to change how they addressed him. Besides, ‘Creator’ sounded not bad at all. He always had a small gush of excitement every time he heard it.
However, when Alice addressed him as ‘Master’, it was unique enough to raise his eyebrows.
Seeing how Lin Ke had stared blankly at herself, Alice smiled as she gently put on her housemaid uniform and said, “Isn’t it a housemaid’s job to serve a Master?”
“Or do you prefer that I address you as my Lord instead?”
Lin Ke shook his head slightly and said, “It’s not that. I’m just surprised to hear someone addressing me like that.”
That was right. Be it her Lord or her Master, all that mattered to Lin Ke was that they were only different ways of addressing himself.
Even if they were to address him by his name, would it make much difference to their everyday life?
Alice had put on her uniform, but there was an area that was still uncovered near her breasts. It was the part of the uniform that she had torn off.
Her underclothes protruded from within.
Observing her expression, she did not seem to mind at all.
Lin Ke could not help but to take another look. He realized that the hole that was once on the uniform was sewing itself. It probably would not take long before the uniform looked completely new.
Lin Ke’s own clothes shared the same properties too. Although he had been wearing the same set of clothes since the first day, there were no stains at all. Even if there had been some mild tears, it would vanish before Lin Ke even knew about it.
This was a special property of the Dormitory. Whether it was people living in the Dormitory or the objects contained within it, they all shared the same recovery properties.
Lin Ke stood up and walked out of the Dormitory as Alice paced slowly behind.
It was not far before Lin Ke halted his footsteps. He wanted to find Dra and the others and head to the arena to test it out.
The Tower Sight was instantly activated. Lin Ke took a complete sweep of his surroundings but was surprisingly unable to detect any sign of Dra.
He only saw Avina and her group quietly discussing the affairs related to the Werewolves… as well as to his companion, Alice.
They were probably curious about this newcomer.
Lin Ke did not think much. After he retrieved his Tower Sight, he did not look for Avina and her group. Instead, he began his construction on the Bloodbath Arena as well as the Dormitory’s upgrades.
The Bloodbath Arena’s building duration was a little long. It needed a total duration of 4 hours, which surprised Lin Ke.
It was not long before he put this aside and went to look for Avina in the other Dormitories.
“Yo, I see you all are still chatting away.” Lin Ke walked into the room and greeted everyone. “Do you all want to have dinner together?”
“Thank you, my Lord, for your kind invitation. Unfortunately, we already had our meals.” Avina stood up and responded to Lin Ke.
“Oh, that’s fine then.” Lin Ke nodded and did not mind. The dried meats Dra made could be found anywhere throughout the Dormitories, he could have easily gotten it.
His head was still slightly aching at the moment. He did not want to waste his energy crafting noodles or anything similar. Hence, he retrieved a few pieces of dried meat, shared a few with Avina and started chewing on it.
After a few mouthfuls of meat, Lin Ke felt his mouth was dry. He glanced across his surroundings and could not find any water. He thought of Dra, who was able to craft water.
“Have you seen Dra? Where did she go?”
Lin Ke asked Avina as he chewed onto his meat, “We still need to check out the Arena in a moment. Why is she not in the tower?”
Avina peeked at Alice, who was standing beside Lin Ke. Her face turned solemn as she was about to explain what happened this afternoon, but Alice interrupted her and said, “Dra must have gone out to patrol. After all, even if the Werewolves have retreated, there’s still a need to prevent any potential ambush from them.”
Alice spoke with a pleasant manner. Lin Ke merely nodded and did not seem to care much.
As Lin Ke swallowed his dried meat, Avina peeked at Alice again from the corner of her eyes and huffed.
As it turned dark outside, Lin Ke grew bored of waiting in the Dormitory. He had upgraded Alice’s Dormitory to Level 2 before he also upgraded his own to Level 3.
In regards to the Walls and Arrow Towers, these could wait till midnight to construct. Building another upgraded Dormitory now could bring in a greater amount of Resources the next day.
Lin Ke was confident now, he needed not to worry much about the werewolves’ attack anymore.
With the arrival of Alice, he now had two Dark-gold Grade heroes. This meant that his capabilities had increased dramatically. It would be only two days more before another Golden grade Magic Hero arrived. Two Dark-gold Grade and two Gold Grade heroes – the powerful heroes team would be sure to defend against more Werewolf attacks.
Dra had finally returned.
As Lin Ke was using his Tower Sight in boredom, he spotted Dra’s figure from far.
For reasons unclear to him, Lin Ke was delighted at the sight of Dra. He stood up and as he walked to the main gate, he called out for everyone to join along, “Come, let’s go welcome Dra, she has finally returned!”
Avina heard the call and looked at Alice, who was visually uneasy at that point. She laughed and said, “That’s great!”
Kara and Lucy nodded excitedly as well. They all got up and joined Lin Ke on his way to the main gate.
Naturally, Alice followed closely behind as well.
