Chapter 133: Hatching
The red colour gas is actually the methane he prepared from the faeces of the Blazing earth bull, he doesn't know why the gas came out red in colour but everything else was normal about gas except the colour and it became more explosive than normal methane.
If not for Sam forcing the gas in high pressure and it was ignited when it was stationary it has high tendency to explode with a pop.
He can even use it to make explosives. He already planned to do so.
{Enough}
The queen Zoi termite immediately shouted when she saw that the situation is going south. All the locusts backed down and even Sam stopped the gas flow and restrained the fire around him.
{I agree.} The Queen immediately said after the battle stopped.
Sam smiled.
"Okay then, since we reached a deal, come out with all your children, I will take you away."
As soon as Sam finished his words the Zoi termite which is in the size of a football came out.
And followed by it around five thousand white termites started coming out of the hole.
{I have another request.} The Queen termite said in a solemn voice.
Sam looked at with a questioning gaze, indicating it to continue.
{Let the rest of the insects here, follow you, you have to treat them the same as you do me, in the same way, they will help you just like I do.}
He didn't think much, because, the Zoi termites only feed on spiritual energy from the living beings, even though their saliva drains the life force of the body, before it decays the remaining locusts and other insects can easily feed on them.
He can find many uses for them in his plans anyway, so he readily agreed.
With a wave of his hand, Sam sent them to the neutral zone inside the dimension and when he peeked inside, he could see that the termites started digging the soil. They already started making their new home.
The remaining locusts also strated finding the place for their stay.
Sam finished everything and recalled Yanwu, Sky and the ape back. After they reunited, he started his journey back to the Marquis city.
The journey is smooth and fast.
By the time, Sam entered the city, Watt and Jack are already waiting for him with some news about the hidden boss of the gang.
Apparently they located the hidden boss with the help of the shadow mice. But the identity is making them hesitate to act, so they waited for Sam to come.
"What happened?"
Sam asked as soon as they entered his study. He could see that they are troubled about something.
"Shadow mice located the hidden boss, but we are not sure how to proceed further."
"Why?"
"That guy is actually a young-master of a Noble family."
Sam raised an eyebrow, even though some nobles dabbling in illegal businesses, the core members will not directly come forward and interfere directly, if by any chance they were found out, they will have a hard time getting rid of the blame.
"He is from the Stone heart family; he is a late stage novice and is twenty-four years old. He didn't participate in the competition as he was one of possible heirs of the family.
From the past few days there are very few people who came to the Hide out, and over all of them this is the guy whose face was completely concealed.
Apparently, this Stone heart family runs all the entertainment houses which are mainly focussed on the Gambling, alcohol and some massage services, theatres, Dance Courtesan houses etc. There is even one legal brothel, under them except not many people knows of it."
Watt completed the report.
Sam wasn't surprised when he heard that there is a legal brothel, even though he didn't see one he couldn't say he didn't expect one.
From the info he got, the prostitution is not illegal as long as it is not forced, but not anyone can get permission for that.
In fact, there is even legal trade slave in this time, but those are only for the war slaves. The captured soldiers or the nobility of the other empires are sold as war slaves and mostly only nobility can afford them.
Sam went into deep thought. A noble family in a Marquis city is no joke, they are as strong as a Count city. There are around six noble families including the Marquis' Blue flame family in this city.
Out of the remaining five families, the Stone heart family head is the strongest with the family head being the early stage Grand realm Warrior. To be more accurate he is the Level 1 Grand Realm warrior just three Levels below the Marquis himself.
But the family head is not the strongest, rather the current family head's predecessor, who is also same generation as the Previous Marquis is the strongest of the family who might be as strong as the Marquis if not stronger.
But nobody knows, whether the old family head is within the family or is roaming around. Not only him, all the current family heads are of same generation as the Marquis and the previous generation heads are playing behind the scenes.
That is why, it is quite difficult to mess with the Noble families and now their target is a possible heir of the family head position of a noble family.
Things would get complicated, if anyone found out even a small connection after they acted.
After some thought, Sam asked.
"His daily routine?"
"He trains in the wilderness everyday from morning to afternoon, from afternoon to evening, he doesn't come out of his estate at all. Every evening, he goes to stroll around to check any of their family's businesses, he seemed to pick that choice in random.
He will eat a sumptuous meal every night.
He cultivates the whole night, in his mansion. He has two guards who always stay with him.
He doesn't mingle with the young masters much. He lives plain and simply. He doesn't even have maids or other servants. The meal is the only materialistic thing he desires and he always eats a lot.
He used to get this meal from the Zeke's restaurant, but from the past two days, he was getting the meal from your restaurant."
When Sam heard this, he started thinking again.
"Monitor his movements for the next week, check it if he is having any connection with other people, use shadow mice, and you act personally as well.
Check if he is behaving strangely in any particular instance."
Sam gave out his instructions. Watt and Jack immediately went out.
After some thinking, Sam locked the door and entered the dimension. By this time, the termites and locusts are already adjusting to the new home. In fact, many of them are feeling happy as the dimension is full of spiritual energy.
Sam went towards the ape and gave it some instructions.
The ape started digging a huge circular pit. He is making preparations for his future business.
Sam slowly walked towards the Hydra Egg. The Egg came to the final stage of hatching and it would be done in a few hours.
He planned his trip properly to make sure that he would be back in the city before the egg hatches.
After waiting for more than three hours, Sam saw small cracks forming on the egg within the formation.
He could see the egg crumbling bit by bit and a small snake head popped out of the hole.
Within a few seconds, the whole being came out and Sam could see the hydra with nine heads, dog hind, talons for the fore limbs, dragon tail but all of them in a miniature form.
The nine snake heads were slithering and looking around curiously.
Sam didn't walk towards the beast. He just stood there and looked at it.
After some time, the small hydra looked at Sam and all its nine heads looked at him and immediately the small creature clumsily walked towards him.
It took some time to get used to its body and the hydra finally came to his feet after some struggle and great effort.
It nudged its centre head to his legs as if asking him to carry him.
Sam gently picked the baby which is the size of a four-year-old kid and looked at it with a smile.
The Creature snuggled into him as if he was the most familiar thing and safest thing to it.
This is due to the unsealing.
Since, Sam used his blood to make the runes, the hydra is familiar with his presence. This is the method the imprisoned hydra used to make sure that the baby will get along with the person who hatched the egg.
Sam closely observed the baby. It is mostly white in color with purple patterns on the back of its heads.
The purple patterns started from their eyes to the back of the heads, spine and ended at the tail.
After checking the gender Sam found out that it is a girl and Sam started thinking hard about what he should name her.
After all, this genius is an absolute dumbass in naming.
