ALL NOVEL Chapter 4: Chapter 4
The smell of blood in the air was heavy and carrion was staring at the holographic panel displaying 'one of the soldiers has died'.
"Honey, are you okay, it is getting dark, we should move on who knows how many of those guys are there? What if more comeback."
Shaken from his trance carrion looked at his mother who looks clearly unbothered but confused. After living in this world for 3 years she was used to sights like this but her confusion was pointed not at the people who tried to attack them but the people who saved them. She was confused why would these people with unknown origin protect them with their lives and their appearance out of nowhere troubled her even more. But right now she was willing to trust them because she knew these people are her son's acquitance and they meant no harm to her and carrion.
Unlike his mother carrion had no experience watching people getting killed. Even though previous version of carrion has seen this thing they were just memories for carrion it Is like remembering a gore movie scene. So carrion was sick to his stomach watching this scene but carrion knew from the moment that he reincarnated in this world that he will have to get familiar with these moments even commit them himself if he wanted to survive. So after closing eyes and taking a couple of long breaths carrion spoke while looking at the summoned personals of his.
"Let's go, search the bodies take any valuable things you see and take the dead as well. We are getting out of here"
After hearing all the personals who was watching their dead friend brother in a somber tone started to get active and work. They searched the bodies of the enemies even though there was no pockets or any hiding places. They took their friend's body as well. Through the sudden increased business one of the archers found something in the leader's body who was clearly well dressed than others.
'God's son, I found something in that big guy's body' an Archer said while giving a some kind of figure that was made from hard metal. As soon as he took the statue system screamed out 'Silver detected. Silver is of half in value of a gold coin'
After absorbing the little information with interest carrion started to inspect the little figure that looked like an animal. It had a disfigured human head with body of a snake and a fish tale at the end even though the designing was crude and unprofessional. Carrion cared little to know about what it meant but he was interested in the fact that the material was silver. It was Awfully obvious these brindled men or Sorthyos had a silver mine at their possession and the precious silver to craft this.
"hmm, Where did you find this, I found inside leader's forearm."
"what?" Carrion was surprised and unsuprised at the same time. Brindled men are said to be uncivilaized, practice cannibalism and brutal traditions so something like this was expected.
'System, these are brindled men right? I have read they are the only surviving human inhabitants sorthorys.'
'Yes, Host these are brindled men, would you like to see a report of them from the wiki.'
'no' Even though carrion wanted to know about the newly emerged advesaries he first wanted to find a safe place given that night is coming. Night Is filled with dangerous in a forest.
'Open map' A 3d white holographic that is different from the usual 2d panel opened up. It was entirely blue and it showed an even bigger map of a son of ice and fire world that he knew from his previous world. Sorhtorys was even bigger than the original map and there was more land in Essos and there was a whole new unnamed continent'. Zoom into me' the map automatically zoomed into a red dot until it got bigger at the size of a thumb.
Zoomed map shows different icons. There was desert in the far north part of the map. He knew it was a desert because of the orange color and he somehow knew that color was a desert probably the effect of the system. The part he was in was a very small clearing and there was big forest with the color of dark green. A couple of kilo meters from where he is to north there was a huge grassland with a river and eastern side was a small mountain range. In the southern part of the continent was the never ending forest.
The moment he saw that the grassland he knew this place is the most suitable create his soon to be empire.
"Let's go in that direction" he said while pointing to north.
Group started to move two of the soldiers and one archer in the front, carrion and his mother in the middle, the soldier who got thrown to a tree was behind carrying the dead body of his friend (He had only minor injuries). The one archer was behind with the guns on their hands. Even though carrying the dead soldier made the party's speed decrease significantly he still gave the order because of two reasons. First he didn't how much loyalty the summoned personals had for him he didn't wanted them being hateful toward because their friend was left to rot and being eaten by wild animals. Hatred could lead to so many things. Second was his sword and accessories. Carrion was sure given fine quality of them he can sell them to a merchant and earn a hefty sum of money in gold.
After a little bit of traveling they through the rough terrain they came to the grassland. Unlike the forest this place had a bit of pleasant aroma in it. Lush green grassland was huge and in the middle was a crystal clear river flowing. There were wild animals near the river drinking water getting nervous over the uninvited guests.
"We will live here for now" Carrion was in a rather good mood after the change of the scenery.
"Okay then we should make camp here. Even though someone could see us here we could see them as well if they come near" Serenya said with unchanged face while observing the site in front of her with caution.
"No camp mom, I will make a castle just for you" Carrion said with a smirk.
"What castle?" Serenya asked with doubt.
"Don't worry mom, I will explain everything later, for now just trust me" Carrion said while squeecing her hand with care and protective instincts coming from the depths of his heart. Her eyes was so beautiful no matter how much he look at her she is so beautiful.
'Base'
Holographic panel popped up, everything in the screen was blurred except for a blue panel displaying 'Do you wish to built your castle and mark your territory?'
'yes'
Suddenly the holographic panel and what replaced was a blue holographic version of a castle. This moves with his eyes almost like games. In building games when he wanted to place a building he try to set it in a good place when the place applicable it shows white white and the place isn't applicable it shows red. This process was the same except the white color was replaced with blue.
After choosing a good place he in mind said 'build here'
Suddenly a bright golden light flashed around him he was almost blinded. After some time what replaced the golden light was an empty space with distant walls with height of two guys. He looked forward and he saw a building that was fairly big and grander than anything he has seen. It was medieval style with incredibly smoothness and a certain style similar to the soldiers he summoned. Majority of the color was gold.
'So this is my castle, hmm I like it'
