Chapter 123 - Nature's Wanting

'I wonder when he will wake up…'

Shin looked here and there probably because he was a bit impatient.

The rain had stopped long ago and now all he did was wasting time sitting there.

'I could have searched for Aella at least…', and just when he had thought this, he recalled the fact that the mission had asked him to find 3 clues.

Of course, for some certain reason, the mission was given, if he could find Aella directly, then the part about clues wouldn't have even been present.

There should have been only one task – Find Aella and nothing else.

But there were a few tasks that probably were interrelated.

[ Finding Aella ]

[ #important ]

[ -> Search for the clues left by Aella (0/3) ]

[ -> Visit the goblins after collecting the Clues ] [ cannot be completed unless clues are found ]

[ -> Find Aella ]

This was the mission and according to that, 3 clues were to be found first.

Then Shin had to visit the goblins which meant that he was supposed to find their village or something for collecting more clues!

And finally, after doing that could he expect to find Aella.

'I see, so the system knows how to find Aella but instead of directly telling me, it wants me to work my a*s off!', Shin was pissed at the system for this.

It would have been better if Shin had thought it this way, but oh well, he had his own thinking capacity and capability anyway.

'So, I need to find three clues first…'

'But where should I head off to find them?', he asked himself.

'And what types of clues should I find anyway?'

Yes, clues could be of any type. It could be of footprints or just news.

It could even be some sort of message or some marks left behind.

Shin realized that it was much more difficult than he had initially thought.

"Hmm…"

"I should think the way Aella might have thought when her life was in danger…", Shin said to himself.

"Aella?"

"Yes, Aella…"

"Who is Aella anyway?"

"She is…"

And when Shin was trying to focus, tons of questions started to shower on him.

When he opened his eyes, he found Terran awake and staring at him.

"What are you doing?", Shin asked with an awkward expression on his face.

"Ah, I wanted to know who this Aella was that you were speaking about…", Terran said with a humble tone.

"Sigh, she is…"

"She is…?", Terran was curious about her however right before Shin answered that, he suddenly became speechless.

"Haha, she is my sister.", he finally said that.

"Sister?", now Terran was much more curious about it.

"Elder one?"

And with this, both of them started to chat. Of course, Shin told him everything about what had happened.

How she went missing because of the humans and then how he had to go through a lot of trouble and all.

"So went through all that?", Terran was genuinely shocked when he heard everything that Shin said.

Shin stated about the betrayal, killing, and the ending of the clan of white wolves. Also, he told about the Biola clan and what he had in store for them.

"I wanted to build a clan and take part in the clan wars but unfortunately Aella went missing…"

"I wonder in what state she might be now…"

"I want to meet her as soon as possible…"

He became quiet after saying that. Terran could actually feel Shin's sorrow probably because both of them were connected at the moment with the Master and Vessel relationship.

'I get it now…'

'He must have been lonely too…'

'That was why he helped me too and didn't run away.', Terran said to himself.

'But…'

'This is so wrong…'

Terran then took a deep breath and called out to Shin, "Master Shin…"

Yes, he learned his lesson of not calling him by his name, he wasn't intelligent for no reason after all.

"You are good."

"You are kind-hearted and you must have helped many…"

When Terran said that, he wasn't exaggerating at all. If everything were to be counted, then there wouldn't be any correct sum.

Shin had cured the wolves of the White wolf clan. Not only that, he had helped Aella number of times.

If his previous life was to be counted, then his donating money to a lot of charities could be considered kindness.

That was indeed something a human would do, being kind that is.

Even beasts and animals would do that too, but the extent to which Shin was doing, was way over the top.

"Master, I think this kindness might end up dragging you down…", was what Terran said.

"Huh?", when Shin heard that, he stopped crying for a bit and started to hear what Terran had to say.

"How do I put it…"

"You cannot be that kind master."

"Nature demands survival of the fittest…"

"It doesn't want the survival of the weakest with mercy!"

When he mentioned that, Shin raised his head slowly as his ears twitched.

"You cannot be kind master…"

"When you helped me, I understood how much of a lenient being you were."

"However, you need to be ruthless."

"You are a predator so you need to hunt and kill as many as you could."

"You need to build your own kingdom master!"

After Terran said all these things, Shin finally had another goal in his mind.

'Yes…'

'I need to build a safe place…'

'A place so large that all my loved ones could fit in.'

'A place so strong that no one would try to attack us.'

"So the bottom line is master, become a preda-"

Unfortunately, Terran couldn't complete his sentence because the red eyes that stared at him right now made him break a sweat.

".."
