18 Chapter 18

Time passed quickly , and the previously grassland turned into an inhabited place full of bamboo houses of different styles . During the construction of bamboo houses , when one person saw how beautiful the other person's bamboo house was , a competitive spirit was roused within every tribesmen's heart and started competing on who's bamboo house has the most attractive interior and exterior design .

However , Lienor still won . As a transmigrated modern soul , he had seen lot of house designs before and no one could compete his modern knowledge .

The whole tribe gradually regained their happy smiles and started living peacefully. Lienor didn't really want to lead the tribe , so he just sat at the back and watched as the priest did all the things .

Kryst on the other hand was practicing his skill on using his ability . Due to Yggdrasil's suggestion on practicing knitting the threads into clothes , Kryst gradually increased his proficiency on manipulating the threads .

Beside Kryst , there's a lot of piled up fabrics that were made by his thread. Lienor went to ask for his failed products and told Kryst that his fabric is useful .

Kryst just nonchalantly answered yes and gave all his failed products to Lienor . Lienor then happily introduced the fabric to the tribe and told them that this kind of fabric will be made if they find a plant similar to cotton .

One tribesmen reported that they saw similar plant at the southwest part of the forest . Lienor then told some warriors to bring some. 

Because of that , the tribesmen's clothing changed from an animal hide to cotton . Kryst curiously touched Lienor's t-shirt and felt that he also wants to wear a clothe without any weird designs like what Yggdrasil made for him .

But Yggdrasil stopped him , telling him that his onesie would cover his pointy ears . Keyst could only stop himself and looked at Lienor's t-shirt with envy .

Lienor doesn't really have any good skills when it comes to making clothes , but he tried his best to master the skill . There's nothing impossible in the world with hardwork .

Kryst live with Lienor in a bamboo house . Kryst stayed not too far from Lienor's room . When he opened the door , Kryst savored the fresh air for a while before strolling in the tribe place. 

A teenage girl suddenly walked to his direction and waved at Kryst . Kryst nodded then avoided her .

Liena pouted and watched as the little boy walked away . The door of the beautiful bamboo house suddenly opened and vomited a young red haired man . Lienor looked at his sister in confusion. " What are you pouting out there ? "

Liena looked at Lienor and said . " Kryst still wouldn't talk with me . He is really a loner ba . "

Lienor smiled at ruffled her hair , ever since Kryst developed shampoo . Every people in the tribe began to use shampoo in their daily lives. They also discovered its effect and felt that they look more clean with smooth and scented hair.

Linden then took the liberty to ask Kryst for the method , but Kryst doesn't want to talk with strangers . Only after Kryst asked for it in exchange for the plants and herbs brought by the tribesmen did Kryst reluctantly agreed .

" There are some people who don't really want to socialize . Just understand them , just as some people likes being with people , there are also some people who liked being alone . "

" Why does Kryst wants to be alone? Wouldn't it be more good to talk with us? "

Lienor " because he's shy " he lied , of course he doesn't know why Kryst doesn't want to socialize . He thought that it was just because Kryst is an introvert .

But there's no way Liena could understand that so he just said that Kryst was shy .

Kryst went to visit the old chief with Linden.  The two chiefs are still bedridden but fortunately , they are recovering faster than before , thanks to Kryst's medicine .

Liam opened his eyes and saw the two young ones . Liam subconsciously smiled and looked at the young priest and Lienor . " I am really old now right? I can't even defeat the young alpha of the White Wolf Tribe anymore . "

Linden clicked his tongue and retorted . " Nonsense , you were just outnumbered by them . If you fought one on one with the alpha , I'm sure that alpha wouldn't be able to easily defeat you.  "

Liam chuckled and shook his head weakly . " I can't really lead the tribe with this kind of body anymore.  I have to hand over the authority to another blood warrior . "

The deputy chief named Lino , lying just beside the old chief stared at the two young men and also said . " It's impossible for me to recieve the authority . I'm also injured and only have mediocre talent on leading a tribe . If not because of my blood ability being awakened accidentally , i wouldn't have recieved the title of being the tribe's deputy chief . "

Lienor ... Oh oh ... This scenarios seems familiar to me . Don't tell me that after they said their last words , they would die?

No no , that's impossible . Old chief is still healthy enough to survive two more decades .

" Ainor "

" Yes Chief?!! " Lienor immediately woke up from his daze and immediately looked back at the old man with stiff body .

Liam smiled then said.  " Do you want to lead the tribe--

" No way Chief , I'm just a normal warrior who only have a small presence in the tribe . "

Linden immediately kicked Lienor's butt.  " Don't cut the chief's words . "

" ... Sorry . "

Liam sighed then looked at Linden . " Prepare the ceremony and hail Ainor to become the next chief of the tribe . "

" What?!! Chief! I never agreed to that! "

Lienor wanted to firmly disagree but Linden just smiled and pulled the struggling fool outside and declared to the whole tribe that they are going to crown Lienor as the next chief according to the old chief's will .

Lienor ...

!!!! I only want to be with Kryst and follow the protagonist to conquer the world! Why hail me as the tribe's chief aaaah!

I don't even know how to lead my classmates during group activities ... Much more leading a real tribe?!

Ares got to be kidding me?

( He's talking about the God of War , Ares that he saw from the memory he regained during his blood awakening . )

At the same time , the hunting team returned with big hunted preys . The whole tribe celebrated , while Linden took the liberty to put the chief feather crown on top of the dumbfounded Lienor and pushed him in front of the crowd as Linden danced an ancient ritual .

After the ritual , the whole tribe watched as the big wildboar the size of a cow was being rotated over the fire and roasted .

Kryst watched with amusement as Lienor , who have a dazed expression and mouth gaped open was stuffed with pork by Linden .

Yggdrasil reminded Kryst . " The elf fruit is about to be born . Get ready to go back . "

Kryst hummed then picked up his basket before walking out of the tribe to disembark . The tribe is now guarded with muddy walls that has a higher quality when it comes to defense . The warriors guarding at the gate thought that the young boy wearing a white green butterfly onesie is just going to collect herbs not knowing that the little elf wouldn't go back anymore.

Kryst together with his bouncing little wings ventured deep into the forest and disappeared within the sights of the warriors .

As Lienor bit the bland pork , he suddenly remembered Kryst . He stood up but Linden stopped him , he then told Linden that he's going to bring Kryst to join the feast . Only then did Linden flatteringly pushed away Lienor and told him to respectfully bring back the little child .

Lienor then rolled his eyes and went back to the bamboo house . He knocked Kryst's room's door and called the little child out .

But no one answered back . Lienor then opened the room but saw no one . The room was even cleaned properly without any speck of dust left behind . Lienor entered and suddenly felt strange .

Where are the pots of flowers that Kryst liked? Where's the bamboo bottles of medicinal powder? Where's his basket?

Lienor looked at the bed and saw nothing .

" Kryst? "

" Did he went out to collect herbs? "

Lienor felt a little strange ...

He felt the same feeling when he bade farewell to the little child before .

Lienor took off his feather crown and run towards the gate with inhumane speed . Lienor arrived at the gate in a flash , surprising the two warriors guarding the gate .

" Chief? You look hurried? " The guard no . 1 saluted and asked .

Lienor nervously asked ." Did Kryst went out just now? "

The guard no . 2, nodded . " Yes Chief . "

" How long has it since Kryst went out? "

" It's almost been 3 hours ever since little boss went out . "

Three hours ... That's already long . Did Kryst encountered danger?

Lienor worriedly looked at the forest and felt that the forest looked dark and gloomy . How can such a child withstand auch scary night just to collect herbs? That's weird .

The next day , Lienor discovered that Kryst didn't return back .

Linden and Liena found Lienor beside the tree near his bamboo house staring at the lawn with sentimental expression as if he was abandoned by his lover .

" What happened to you? Brother? " Liena asked and walked towards him .

Linden followed her and looked at the depressed fool . " Don't tell me ... Kryst left? "

Lienor slowly lift his head and looked at the young priest . " How did you know? "

Linden smirked . " Beside that little one, who could make you , a fool to be so depressed like that? "

Lienor straightened his lips and frowned . " I'm just worried but at the same time sad that Kryst might have really returned back to his own tribe . "

Liena leaned to the tree and sighed . " Come on brother , Kryst doesn't really belong to our tribe . Kryst usually doesn't interact with us because he's shy . You're just making Kryst feel uncomfortable by forcing him to stay in an unfamiliar place . If i were Kryst , i would feel restless staying in an unfamiliar tribe and people . "

" It's all my fault . " Lienor looked down .

" But i really like being with Kryst , we spoke the same language ."

" But he can understand any other languages . " Linden

" Still ... "

Liena sat down beside the depressed man and patted his head . " Just focus on being our Chief , brother , then let's slowly explore the lands inside the forest and search for Kryst's tribe . But for now , let's strengthen and stabilize the tribe for now , ok? We don't know , Kryst might have come from a highly civilized city . If we dared to search for Kryst's tribe with such weak force , we might get obliterated again or become a slave affiliated tribe ."

Keyst ... Highly Civilized City ... Onesie ... Handsome Facial Features ... Powerful Blood Ability ... High affinity with animals ... Talent on medicine ...

Thinking about this , Lienor suddenly felt inferior .

Linden stared at their young chief them suddenly spoke . " Don't tell me ... You're interested with that child? "

" What?! No way! I'm older than him you know . " Lienor immediately denied that , he just liked being with Kryst because he's not an annoying kid and doesn't often cry like any other kids .

Moreover , being the lone person in the tribe who could communicate with Kryst made him feel superior to anyone else and felt more closer with Kryst .

" Come on Lienor , we shapeshifters have a longer lifespan than any other humans . Look at Old Chief , he's already 122 years old but he can still contend with a young alpha with an age of 46 . By the time that child grows up , you will still look young and handsome . Don't you know that there's a lot of couple in our tribe that have a big age gap? "

" Think about it , Kryst looked around the age of 7 . you're currently 17 years old . Then that means you have 10 years gap . But we red fox tribe aged really slow because of our good genes . There's nothing wrong with marrying Kryst when he grows up . "

No!! Kryst was a toddler when i met him , he just grew taller when he awakened his blood . To be exact , they have 14 years gap .

No no ... What is he thinking about . He doesn't have any plan on marrying Kryst!!!

This Linden!!!

Bastardo! He even dared to match him with such a cute creature? He's not a paedophile !

Lienor wanted to say that Linden's too immoral , but he suddenly remembered that he's no longer living in the 21st century world .

These barbarian's mindset are different to the mind set of the modern people . There's no law in here ... Even the woman's status in here are just like a prostitutes .
