Misty World: Start with SSS skill



Hikaru walked out of the room, and upon seeing Anno waiting for him, his face became a little red.

"Ah! I just caught a peeking kitten."

"I…" Hearing Hikaru's words, Anno wanted to explain but thinking about it she probably didn't need to.

Anno nodded and said: "I wanted to tell you something, but I saw that you were busy so..."

"So you stood outside and peeked, right?"

Anno wanted to say something, but ended up just nodding, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Hikaru sighed and said, "Okay! Go to the bathroom tonight, it's our space."

Hearing that, Anno nodded with a satisfied smile, she said: "Um… I just wanted to tell you something related to work."

"You can talk while walking."

Hikaru and Anno walked together down the corridor, Anno opened a scroll, looked at the information inside again and said: "In 3 days, that group of mixed-bloods will come to our territory."

"It is estimated that they number about 4,500 people. Among them, men account for about 1,000, the rest are women and children. There are only about 20-30 elderly people."

"Why are the old people so few?" Hikaru, feeling strange, asked.

"That's right." Anno nodded and said, "The old mixed-bloods knew that they couldn't go far, and they did not want to be a burden to others, so they decided to stay in the mixed-blood village around the Dark-Elf kingdom."

"According to the announcement from my mother's Dark-Elf army, the old people died in the village of mixed blood. They chose to commit suicide to kill their enemies with forbidden magic."

"Are they being hunted down by a group of living Dark-Elves?" Hikaru asked.

"Um! The Dark-Elves who survived your battle and Silutop came to the village of  mixed-bloods, to take their anger out on them."

"However, the mixed-blooded people knew the news in advance, so they fled in time. The elderly, who no longer had the strength to work, stayed and committed suicide."

After Anno said that, she felt a little heavy, as if a large stone was pressing on her shoulder.

Hikaru patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, their life will be better later on."

Hearing that, Anno smiled and nodded, she took a deep breath to try to stabilize her emotions, then continued: "According to the information that Saraya sent me, there is a very strange person in the group of mixed-bloods."

"Hm?!" Hikaru frowned in confusion.

"That person doesn't seem to be a mixed blood person. Saraya sensed that the person's strength and level is higher than Selvih's."

"According to my speculation, if that person's strength and level are higher than my mother's, then that person is definitely King class."

"King level? Could it be… that person is from the Saric Sanctuary?" Hikaru asked.

Anno shook his head: "I don't know either, but 80% of them are  priests of Saric Sanctuary."

"However, the person did not cause any trouble or commit any murder. The person just stays with the group of mixed-blooded people, and lives and eats with them like a normal mixed-blood person."

"Until now, it is not known what the person's purpose is so Saraya has not exposed or attacked him yet."

Hikaru frowned upon hearing that, he said, "It's weird. The people of Saric Sanctuary hate and despise mixed bloods more than nobles."

"How can a King class person live and eat with a mixed blood person?"

Hikaru tried to think but couldn't understand what the other person was doing or planning. He could only shake his head and say: "Haizzz, let Saraya keep watching that person. If he dares to cause trouble, let Saraya kill him."

"If Saraya doesn't have the ability to defeat him, then send Fellea."

Anno nodded: "Um… but Saraya said she can easily destroy that person, so you don't have to worry."

When Hikaru heard that he had a new understanding of Saraya's power. Perhaps… After she reaches level 50, the King level in this world would be no match for her.

Anyway, the Angel Ring's effect could help her gain 3 times more stats. With the tremendous power and effect of the Angel Ring, Saraya certainly won't lose.

Anno took out another scroll and continued: "The dwarves have completed several products made of stone and wood using territory leveling materials."

"Currently, those products need your approval before they can be put on the shelves in the supermarket."

Hikaru nodded. "Um…however, we won't sell them in the usual way."

"Heh?! What do you mean?" Anno asked, confused.

"I mean, we'll let the supermarket have a few items that are precious. Their prices will be extremely high. Of course those kinds of goods are not for the common people."

Anno seemed to have realized something, she rubbed her chin and said, "Ah! You mean… those commodities will be aimed at nobles, right?"

"That's right. The same goods, however, will be made with different materials, and their prices will also be different."

"Currently, our residents are worried about the food problem. However, with the economic situation developing rapidly, when they no longer worry about food, they will worry about other things."

Anno understood what Hikaru was saying, she nodded: "Um… when we have enough food, then, will we be watching what we eat? What is good for health?..vv…"

"That's right." Hikaru said, "When people stop worrying about survival issues, they start to care about smaller issues."

"When they no longer worry about clothes to cover their bodies or keep warm, they will start to care about what to wear so they can become more beautiful, more luxurious."

"When they have everything, they will start thinking about showing that they have everything, they would even try to show that they have things that other people don't have."

"Although our residents still do not have a stable job at the moment, the luxuries will be an incentive for them to try to work better."

Anno nodded, and she started to write down what Hikaru said into the scroll.

"Um… I got it."

Hikaru rubbed his chin: "Hm… maybe I'll go to the Dwarves area soon to see what they have made. Even though I have drawings and instructions of what they have done, I feel it is still worth checking a bit."

"Ah! Tell Narita to come with me."

Hearing Hikaru's words, Anno nodded: "Yes. Narita is currently working with Lori on the curriculum for the school to use."

"Um… tell him I need him to come with me to see how the people live right now."

"Kiki, do you think his mind will change?"

"His mind will change, it's just… we need to give him time and prove his ancient wisdom wrong."

Anno nodded, then she continued to talk to him about a few other issues.

…

In the afternoon, Hikaru and Narita went to the Dwarven area.

Narita walked beside him, even though Narita had no face, and Hikaru couldn't see his expression, Hikaru knew that Narita was very upset right now.

Yes, although his mind was much more open than before, his attitude towards the Dwarves was extremely disdainful and unpleasant.

"You… you seem to hate Dwarves, don't you?"

Narita nodded, the two flames in his eyes gradually grew darker, until they were like two small candles: "Yes. The Dwarves are a messy and undisciplined race. They caused so much trouble that all the other races hated them."

Hikaru heard this from Shala, she also told him what Narita once told her.

He was confused: "Hm… then why is no one leading them? Or put them in a more disciplined environment. Their talent is essential to everyone anyway."

Narita shook his head: "Not everyone can do it. The Pope at that time sent two King Priests to force them to be disciplined and not cause trouble."

"However, that was also useless. The two King-rank Priests were so angry that they killed everyone inside that Dwarf castle."

Hikaru frowned, "What happened?"

"They made things more chaotic. They even created teleportation magic, which became a portal that brought outside monsters into that castle."

"In the end, the two angry Kings, not caring about the lives of the Dwarves inside the castle, directly destroyed them all."

Hikaru sighed, it seems that the Dwarves caused a lot of trouble in the past.

However, he didn't think of them as troublemakers. Hikaru said with a smile, "Narita, I know you're worried about them causing trouble and affecting our territory."

"However, that's because you haven't managed them properly. If you know how to manage them, they will not only not cause trouble but also help you a lot."

Narita shook his head and sighed: "Haizzz, they probably won't cause you much trouble right now, however, in the future, they will mess up your kingdom to the point where you just want to burn the whole thing alive. Surname."

Hikaru : ( _ ; )

He felt that no matter what he said, he couldn't change Narita's mind. But Hikaru didn't blame him, after all, what the Dwarves had done in the past was terrible.

The two slowly made their way to the Dwarven area, where there was only one werewolf and one Owlny patrolling around to ensure security.

Seeing that the Dwarven area was still peaceful, and that nothing happened, Hikaru smiled and said: "Did you see that? They did not cause any problems."

Narita glanced at Hikaru, then looked at the werewolves and Owlny on patrol and shook his head: "Your Werewolves and Owlny are very strong, they're just scared right now so they shouldn't cause any trouble."

"Wait a while, when they feel that the werewolf and the other Owlny are not a threat to them, they will…"

"Enough!" Hikaru said, then he sighed, and he didn't answer Narita but took him to another area. Hikaru was afraid that if he continued talking, Narita would continue to give reasons to make Hikaru distrust the Dwarves.

This area was located about 200 meters away from the Dwarves' residential area. In fact, it was located inside an informal residential area.

However, the area was protected by Faivern's vines that formed a wall. Therefore, people inside the unofficial residential area could not let me enter this place.

Outside the gate there was a very large sign.

"Dwarf Industrial Park"

Narita frowned, he was about to say something when Hikaru's voice rang out: "Go in and see first, then speak your mind."
