System: Gods' Gardener

Chapter 34 - The Riders 1

"You call that brutal?" Lucas asks him then smirked, "If this is already brutal for you, what about the Eagle riders? Considering they were coming from above, the speed and force will be much greater than this. We need a trained fighter for that because they can either a strength or harm for us, they have to know where they shoot and what is their target."

Redford nodded in agreement as he said goodbye for the second expedition.

Lucas waved his hands to say goodbye. He also needs to rest, 'Haist, I don't know why the gods upgrade my stamina and fatigue if I can easily get mentally tired. What's the point of having that much stamina? Well, I'll stay at the room of blood orange eagles, the fruits fully ripen and it will be mutating anytime now, '

Lucas enters the 'Underworld' and stays in one of the rooms where he put the pits of blood orange eagles. He discovers that the fruits are starting to change form. Its skin was ripped open like a wing with blood color pulps starting to grow on its skin.

Lucas smile in satisfaction while taking out the MCDame leather from his bag. 'Even though the skin is tough, there's still a weakness and this line where the cut is made is this thing's weakness. Its texture is like of the Macadamia Nut. I have to make my items with this leather.'

He spread the leather to the ground and serve as his bed. He closed his eyes and enter the dreamland.

Outside the dome, the adventurer Redford given a task has finally back. He bought the most popular leather and the most expensive one. It was also the thickest and hardest leather in the city, except for the MCdame Rhino's skin. It is the leather of a giant planteros called Papaya Elephant He also brought two people with him. One middle-aged man with varieties of tools in his belt and an a.d.u.l.t female with flirty aura within her.

"Wow, I like this place it's warm." The female said as she hugs her own body, touching various part of her body. She has light brown shoulder length hair, a rosy skin, brown eyes, and pointed eyes.

The adventurer turned red from the sight, he turns around and waved his hand, "Zuri, we're not here to have fun. Redford told me to bring the two of you here."

"Muh, that old pervert? So, this is his fortress?" The middle age man asks, the man has a good built. He has a thick brows masculine face. His hair is long enough to cover his eyes. "I was looking around. But, this place is empty."

"Nah, you won't say that later. Have you seen the pine throwers' bodies outside? Well, as I know, the guild leader doesn't own this. He was serving a much younger person. This place also isn't busy because everyone was practicing. Well, that is what the guild leader told me."

"So Danzo was invited as a crafter while they also invited me for stitching? Are they looking down on us?" Zuri said, feeling annoyed, she glares at the adventurer on her front.

The adventurer was scared by her look, he explained to them why did the guild leader want them to work for him. He explained everything about Lucas. His ability to fight thousands of Jack Gorillas, the revival of the most feared coconut cannon, the chili dragons that keeping the place warm, the sap from mahogany borrowers. They were informed with every secrets and plan of the person named Lucas.

Zuri flipped her hair and respond with an annoyed tone. "So this guy wants to start a war against nobles? Aren't this plan going to attract the attention of the Royalties? Isn't this stupid plan?"

"Actually, it was a good plan. The invention of the shrink crossbow is something you can't ignore. You say it destroyed the target even though it did not hit the center, and the target is a hundred meters away from him? I want to try it now." Danzo replies as he enters the dome, leaving Zuri alone.

"Oi! Tsk! How annoying, I have to teach this brat a lesson." She doesn't have any choice, but to follow them inside the dome, 'I'll show you how scary a fighter is!'

When they enter the dome, they are welcomed by the first four planteros Lucas raised. The giant ginger cats and blackcurrant nether panther that guards the entrance. The peanut butterfly that covered the half of the dome. The most eye-catching, the chili dragons that roam around the dome. On the sidelines, a Melon queen was resting alone.

They followed the adventurer and went down to the 'Underworld'. The group reached the 300th floor. Danzo was amazed by the feeling, "Woah, this 'Underworld' has a great ventilation system that the pressure was reduced to normal."

'Ignorant' Ruzi thought as she steps in the bottom floor of the 'Underworld'. Suddenly, the air pressure rose and become harder to breathe. "Wh-what is this!?"

"So-sorry let's go back!" The adventurer said and help her run back to the three hundredth meter mark, "I-I made a mistake, that part is not yet done!"

"Haah! Haah! Y-You!" She glared at the adventurer before he kicks danzo, "Danzo, help me stand. That's scary. The sudden change shocked my body."

"Pl-please follow me, they are in the first room of the 300th-meter mark." The adventurer said as he leads them to the tunnel.

The tunnel was so large and a bit dark, on the end of the tunnel a blinding light welcome them. The sound of arrows released from the bow and hitting the target can be heard, the sound of a sword slashing in the air and the noise from the collision of metals.

"Yahoo! Why everyone's so busy? You even forget to greet us!" Ruzi said sarcastically and attract everyone's reaction.

Ranrem who has a bow on her hand and was the nearest to her walk towards her. "Sister Ruzi, why are you here?"

Ruzi looks at her pretending to be shocked, "Eh!? Ranrem, you still can't learn how to put some emotion into your word. You know, you can't find a husband if you're like that!"

Rita and the rest also approached them. Rita, who also wield her bow get near her and asks, "Sister Boobies, why are you here?"

"Oh, my little chopping board! You're here too? So cute!" She runs forward to hug her tight, 'TIGHT'.

Rita tried to turn but Ruzi is way faster than her, "Kuuhuk! Sis, spare me. Your b.o.o.b.s are too big, I can't breath!"

She released Rita and walk towards Neil and the group, "Haha, well, since you guys are here too, where's that Lucas?"

"Hah?" Neil looks at him confusingly, "Wait, you mean, you did not see him on the surface?!"

"Woah! Grandpa, you're too hot, when you say surface, it feels like I was in hell! Well, we've haven't seen anyone when we arrived." Danzo cut in. "Don't tell me... The boss isn't here? Ruzi almost die when we went down to the bottom floor, you know?"

"Ahh! Damn it! I have to go. No one is guarding the surface." Neil said and rush out of the room.

'Muh! That Lucas is stupid,' Ruzi pouted and follows up.

The rest also decided to resurface. Lucas leaving his position, he must have a reason for doing so.

On the way, the group has a small chat. They talk about why did the bottom floor has so much pressure and find out that the size of the room and the amount of ventilator aren't balance.

Neil scratched his head when they reached the surface. "That Lucas, where did he go?"

"Grandpa Neil, " Viola raised her hand, "I heard that Lucas has tried the crossbow earlier. Can we check it out?"

"Haist, okay. But don't use the body of pine thrower as a target. We still need them." He nodded then asks Hugo to guard the fortress. He went to his usual place and take some rest.

The group left him alone to check the crossbow Lucas made. Danzo was also interested, 'The hardness of the mahogany burrower was well known, but that guy was able to make eight bows with ease. I have to check the quality of the bow!'

When he saw the crossbow, he can't help but marvels on its size. The parts were also assembled neatly and the smoothness of the wood was beyond his expectation.

They tried to use the bow, but even the rearming of bolts was harder than they expected. Viola decides to take the first shot and ready herself.

'Ei! She's don't know how to wield crossbow!' Danzo runs, trying to stop her, but, his effort was for nothing.

Shook!

"Kiyahhh!" The crossbow suddenly raised its tip and shoot the bolt to the sky, the impact throws her backward before she fell on her b.u.t.t. "W-w-what was that!?"

Danzo and the rest were shocked. Normally, there's so little impact that you can't even feel it. But the giant crossbow sends a teenager back, just by the impact of releasing a shot.

The group continues to study for half of an hour until Viola and Violet left to cook for them. Della and Rita also left to tend the Planteros of the dome. While Ranrem went to the basket of Giant Ginger Cat to rest.

Only the adventurer, Ruzi and Danzo were left to study the equipment Lucas made. Ruzi was interested in how he is able to stitch the skin of MCdame Rhino. While Danzo studied every part of the crossbow.

They stay like that until midnight before they decided to take some rest. Ranrem also woke up to take the shift of guarding the place.

It was early in the morning when a strong wind started to form. The change of season was about to start. Redford group has also arrived, with every truck dragging gigantic planteros behind.

The sound of dragging was heard from a distance and woke up the people from the fortress.

'What the f.u.c.k is that sound? Is there an attack?' Lucas thought the noise woke him up from his slumber.

He picked up the leather from the ground and check out the progress of his planteros mutation. There's no more ripen fruits, instead, so many little blood color creature was roaming inside the room.

"Sorry guys. I have to check the surface and check the situation. Here, take this!" He spread thousands of mana grains to the floor to let the chicks have a feast. He jumps out of the room and rushes to the surface.

When he reached the surface, Neil and the rest were already on the entrance, checking the situation outside. Lucas approached them and asks, "Grandpa Neil, what happened?"

"Lucas!" Neil exclaimed when he saw him, "Why did you leave your place without telling me?"

"Nah! Grandpa, I don't want to disturb the girls while they are training. Plus, Coco and Chivous are guarding for me. I was so tired of making every equipment the defense needed and take a long nap. Haha!"

"Tsk!" Neil clicked his tongue, he doesn't have anything to say since his words are real. He turns around and observes the arrival of the trucks. "Lucas, the expedition has succeeded, they were dragging giant treetans each truck. Looks like you can finally build your tower!"

Lucas nodded his head when was getting near to the entrance he saw two unfamiliar faces. He approached Ruzi and asks, "Who are you Guys? Are you the trusted people old man Redford told me?"

"Yes~" Zuri replies and also get near him, she touched his shoulder and whisper on his ears, "You're so cool, wanna go out with me?"

"Stop it, " Lucas said and pushes her back, "I won't commit a.d.u.l.tery, excuse me."

"Pft! Haha, Sister Boobies! Did you hear that?!" Rita burst into a laugh when she heard him teasing Zuri. "Haha, that was hilarious!"

"Shut up Rita," Zuri said coldly. She faced Lucas and said in a serious tone, "Aren't you too c.o.c.ky? Well, I like that type of man. But, can you really beat the nobles by your strength?"

Lucas smoked and put a confident and mocking smile. "Of course, wanna bet? I don't have anything to lose, same to you right?"
