The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 175: Hunting for the Forest Spirit Seed Part 13

The moment Jericho left along with all of the members of Herald he took with him, Kayn and the others hurriedly started the construction of their camp.

In order to make his lie seem more believable tomorrow, he ordered Gilbert to make dozens of secret traps and hidden mechanisms surrounding the camp.

Meanwhile, Friedrich's team prioritize the construction of a pathway that would lead to the entrance that Kayn mentioned. They had to work on it underground so as to not raise any suspicion, especially to Jericho and his people who are currently very suspicious whether they really didn't find the location of the Forest Spirit Seed or not.

As for the others, they constructed tents and other commodities for their stay in this place.

They weren't as talented and experienced as Gnarlak and his men, so they were only able to construct the most basic infrastructures.

Because this was just a temporary camp and their priority was to make a tunnel leading to the underwater cave, the construction was finished as soon as the sun started setting.

After eating dinner, they began assigning everyone in a shift to protect the camp while the others would go to sleep.

Since Kayn still has something important to do tomorrow relating to Jericho's alliance, he was spared such labor, making him feel relieved as he slept in the night peacefully.

The next day.

As soon as Kayn got out of his tent, he immediately saw the midnight shift walking back to their respective tent in order to get enough rest. After they entered their tents, the evening shift walks out of their tent to start doing their morning routines and start working on the task for today.

"I'll be taking Cedric and Roshan with me and begin the first exploration of our party inside the underwater cave," Friedrich informs Kayn who was also doing his morning routines with them.

"Make sure to prioritize your team's safety. At the first sign of danger, immediately retreat and go back up here. I don't care if it will delay the progress of our search, as long as everyone's safe," Kayn kindly instructed.

"I know," Friedrich smiled. "By the way, good luck with your alliance talk,"

"I'll make sure to succeed so that we will have a backup plan," Kayn assures.

That's right. As long as his alliance talk with Jericho succeeded, they would most likely receive information and clues about the location of the other Forest Spirit Seeds in the Slumbering Forest. In that way, if this location proves very dangerous, they could choose to go somewhere else to look.

Of course, in exchange for that, they would have to help Jericho and the Herald Guild find the Forest Spirit Origin Seed.

To tell the truth, Natas told him yesterday evening that the Forest Spirit Origin Seed is true and does exist in the Slumbering Forest. Though there is only one and there is no Spirit Forest Tree, at least not in 'The Bridge'. And the only reason why Forest Spirit Seed exists is through the Forest Spirit Origin Seed as it is capable of producing it even though it's merely a seed as well.

Quite a remarkable and fantastic item, he must say.

He can't wait to finally find the Forest Spirit Origin Seed. Albeit he would never forget to suggest to Jericho to only plant it somewhere either on Earth or inside the 'Tower' since they would definitely be closing 'The Bridge' sometime in the future, which would ultimately make all of their efforts useless.

Obviously, he can't let that happen since Forest Spirit Seed is still useful even on Earth and inside the 'Tower'. So, possessing the method to have a steady supply of it will certainly solve a lot of his financial problems. Not to mention, it is a good advantage to use when he wants to expand his influence in the future.

In that case, he also has to discuss it with Friedrich and the others, including Old Chief George as well so that the agreement will continue even on Earth and inside the 'Tower'.

After they finished their morning routines, Friedrich immediately left with Roshan and Cedric before Jericho could arrive at their camp.

ƥαṇdαηθνε| In the meantime, Kayn started preparing himself for the arrival of Jericho.

And speaking of the devil…

"I timed myself quite well," Jericho smiled proudly after seeing Kayn just finishing with his preparation.

"I didn't prepare much. Just some biscuits and a normal tea while that we replenish ourselves while we discuss business," Kayn quickly invited Jericho to sit down.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"You came alone?" Kayn was slightly surprised after not noticing anyone else other than Jericho himself.

"There was no need. After all, we are about to be allies soon. Would I need a guard if I am only visiting nearby ally's camp?" Jericho said before letting out a brief chuckle.

"You're being sincere. I guess you're very satisfied with our discussion yesterday,"

"I was," Jericho nodded his head before waving his hand to take out a few documents from his Storage Ring. "Here's the agreement. Tell me if there's anything that you don't like and we will discuss further about it,"

Kayn carefully accepted the documents and he then started reading their content.

In the end, Kayn was satisfied with everything. "Just one more question,"

"Ask away,"

"What's the difference between this alliance and the alliance you have with the Thieves Guild Alliance?"

"The latter is an alliance out of pure benefits and gain, while this is an alliance of trust and mutual respect,"

"I hope you stay true to your words because I really hate traitors," Kayn stared at Jericho with a cold tinge in his eyes.

Jericho can't help assuming something. "Did someone you trust betrayed you in the past?"

"Something like that," Kayn could only respond vaguely.

"Rest assured, as long as we get what we want and you stay true to our agreement, we will never betray you and the rest of your party," Jericho muttered before looking around. "Speaking about your party, I don't see Sir Friedrich and some of his men. Have they already started searching for clues of the Forest Spirit Seed in this area?"

"Yes. We need to quickly finish things because we still have other things to take care,"

"Is it perhaps bad timing that I propose this agreement this time?"

"It isn't," Kayn assures. "Anyways, where do I sign?"

"Before you sign," Jericho waves his hand once again. This time, he took out a bunch of documents from his Storage Rings. "These are all information and clues about all the sightings of Forest Spirit Seed in the Slumbering Forest. We already have a copy of our own, so feel free to do whatever you want with these,"

"I haven't even signed it yet and you've already given me a token of your sincerity," Kayn gladly accepted the information.

"Here, done,"

All of a sudden, a powerful wind suddenly appeared as the contract that Kayn had signed started slowly floating mid-air.

In the next moment, the paper was turned into white particles before gathering into one single orb before suddenly splitting into two and shooting inside Kayn and Jericho's forehead respectively.

As soon as the light disappeared, a system prompt appeared in front of Kayn and Jericho.

[You've just signed an alliance with Jericho.]

[You've just signed an alliance with Kayn.]

From here on out, Kayn and Jericho are officially allies.
