Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!

Chapter 237: Chapter 237 - Why are you so late?

As I opened my eyes after the teleportation was completed, I was again welcomed by a vast sea of beautiful flowers. The land area of the flower field has grown quite exponentially and the space felt more dense with mana compared to the time I last visited here to return the orbs to their rightful owner. This place really gives me a sense of tranquility each time I visit as if there is no problem in the world that can make me worry.

In the middle of the field of flowers was the body of the world tree, now thicker with its highest point invisible as it reached the sky covered with clouds. I do not know if the sky has limits here I guess the limit may be very high since the world tree in legends are known to be really tall, endlessly tall.

As I carefully examine the tree, not only the trunk but the branches have also become thicker and sturdy-looking, covered with lush leaves. It now has a few golden flowerbuds here and there. The tree has also started growing some vines that are hanging towards the ground seemingly giving hints that it has matured a lot compared to the seed that I planted several months ago.

In front of the huge tree was a quaint looking hut that was obviously not there last time I checked. It had a white and clean finish and seemingly made of bricks. The roof was covered with a combination of short grass and moss in the same shade of green as the leaves of the world tree. The back of the hut looked like it was being pushed into the tree trunk like an extension of the tree itself.

The hut came to me as a surprise since who would even have the time to build one and what was it for? I decided to just check out the hut instead of wondering further about the answer to the questions in my mind. The important thing right now is that the tree looked really healthy which has brought great relief and more peace of mind to me. I guess my efforts to take those orbs and trees back from Freyheimr and bring it back here was not in vain.

I walked leisurely towards the center of the flower field where the hut and the tree were. As I reached the hut, I knocked on the door to check if the owner or anybody is inside but the only I got was silence. The door has no knob like the modern doors and only had a metal handle. I tried pushing the wooden door and I was surprised as to how easily it opened with just a slight push.

As I entered the house, I realized that this was created using time and space magic spells. The first thing I saw was a huge living room, complete with all the necessary furniture. They were simple in design but they looked rather expensive. I looked to my right side and saw a glimpse of what looks to be a dining area that can sit up to 8 people and then a fully functional kitchen with a mix of old and modern appliances for cooking food and keeping them fresh.

As I looked towards my left, I could see a a spacious porch filled with pots of different plants. Some were flowering plants while some looked like herbs. As I looked past the porch, I was able to see what looks like a medium-sized pond with a covered pathway to the center. In the center was a grand-looking gazebo covered with flowers, vines and the same moss as the roof of the hut.

I panned my eyes towards my front again which has a grand staircase leading to the next floor. I walked toward the staircase and as I looked up, the whole structure seems to have about 3 floors and the top of it is similar to the dome I built in my home in Marahuyo but this one shows the bright sun and the passing clouds.

Since I already did a quick scan of the place and did not see anyone, I tried something else by calling out to anybody that may possibly be staying in the hut, ”Is anybody here? Hello?” My voice echoed around the hut which I can’t really say is a ”hut” on the inside. When nobody answered, I decided not to intrude further and made my way back towards the door but just as I was leaving, my eyes saw what seems to be a figure of a person in the gazebo on the lake. Nobody was in that gazebo earlier.

Instead of walking out the hut, I decided to exit via the patio and then walked my way slowly through the covered path towards the gazebo. It never occurred in my mind that it would be a dangerous person or that I was trespassing at all. As I neared the gazebo, my heart beats became faster as if I was excited to reach that place and that person.

Finally reaching the gazebo, I saw a man with green hair that reaches the middle of his back, reading a thick book quietly as if nothing in this world can veer him away from what he was doing. I spoke in a soft voice but still enough for the other party to hear me and said, ”Excuse me. Do you own this house?”

The man stiffened at the sudden voice from behind him. I heard a scoff and then with a familiar sarcastic tone, he answered, ”I built the house but it is not mine. Everything here is co-owned by me and my wife who seemed to have forgotten about me. I think I have been abandoned.”

A smirk appeared on my face as I answered sarcastically as well, ”Last time I checked, somebody lied about coming back after a month. And even after several months , there was nothing. If he thinks I abandoned him, I can just make it a reality.” I suddenly teleported out of the hut and into the top of one of the sturdier branches of the world tree.

After a few seconds, I saw a flicker of light appear in front of the main door of the hut. From that light, the man with green hair and golden irises appeared. I wanted to greet him but I still can’t push my irritation down as he blamed me for abandoning him. If I abandoned him, I wouldn’t have risked exposing my identity and stealing those orbs from that shitty place just to heal him.

I then saw the man looking left and right in panic. He then closed his eyes as I felt his mana spread throughout the area around the hut. I made sure to hide my presence so he wouldn’t detect where I was. When the man opened his eyes, I saw desperation and sadness there. He then murmured, ”You left me all alone again. I waited for you every single day, for a very long time. Have you forgotten that 1 day back in your world is ten years here?”

I then saw him slowly sit on the ground and then he laid on his side. He then started to curl his body up in a fetal position as if comforting himself then I started hearing sobbing sounds. F*CK. Why does he have to look like that as if the whole world bullied him but still as handsome as ever? I sighed in frustration and finally decided to show myself in front of the clearly depressed deity.

I teleported right behind him and asked, ”Do you enjoy being on the ground that much?” His shoulders stiffened and the sobs stopped at once. He slowly looked towards my direction in surprise. His eyes then started to tear up, ”I’m not a seed anymore and I don’t love the ground! What took you so long?”

I looked at him with a raised eyebrow and asked, ”I should be the one asking that question. You said I’ll see you again after a month. How long has it been? It has been 7 months from the time we were supposed to meet again!” He scrambled to his feet but stayed kneeling on the ground in front of me after my sudden outburst.

He stuttered as he tried to answer, ”I did not- I don’t want to lie at all. I just- I don’t want you to feel bad or disappointed. I honestly- I didn’t know I will be asleep for that long too!”

I smirked at him and said, ”Oh, so your goal is make sure that I won’t feel bad. I think the plan failed miserably. Do I look happy right now? Do you think being lied to makes someone feel good? And you better stand up right now since kneeling won’t save you.”

He looked scared for some reason as he demanded, ”No! I won’t stand up unless you’re no longer angry. I will just stay like this until you forgive me!”

I smiled at him sweetly, ”Well. Good luck about that. Oh, I almost forgot the reason that I was here. I was supposed to give instructions to build Zanahavre as soon as possible. I hope you get to it as soon as possible. That’s all. I’ll see you around.”

Before he could say something, I teleported nearer to the portal back and entered it to return to Eieneos. I did not look behind me as I am trying to punish the little liar a bit.
