“Sorry it took a while longer than expected my king.” Rei said as he knelt, and continued. “There was a massive celebration that we have a new king, and a lot to discuss. Everyone is excited to meet you whenever you would like.”

“It is alright, I am just glad to have more friends.” Yueliang said while smiling. ​​

The orc’s eyes started to well up at the sound of that. As such kindness was a rarely seen thing on his planet of Shui. “Thank you so much, I am glad to be here with you as well.” Rei said over joyed and so pleased to have a friend.

“Of course, I look forward to hanging out with you and everything. In the mean time, although I do not know about meeting everybody at once, I do look forward to meeting and taking care of the Sky Orcs in the future. Could we bring everyone in? I would like to make an announcement in the meeting hall.” Yueliang replied.

“Right away my king, they will surely be excited to hear the news.” Rei said as he pressed his right fist against his heart and made a light bow before teleporting away to tell the others to come.

—- A few minutes later in the meeting hall —-

At this moment, the Sky Orc hoard could be seen filing into the meeting hall both anxiously and excitedly awaiting the announcement. They were all wondering what it could be. Their thoughts were mainly on a couple questions: (Are we going to war?), or (Are we going to lose our king so quickly?) However shortly after all of them had filed into the hall, they saw the lights go out except for on the stage and focused their attention instantly.

“Hello everyone, as I am sure you all know, I am the summoner Yueliang Haizi who contracted your wonderful people. I truly am looking forward to meeting each and every one of you in the future. Hopefully we can call be friends or even better.” Yueliang said while smiling happily. At the moment that they heard this, all the Sky Orc’s were moved to tears.

After a few seconds Yueliang continued. “I hope that I can be the leader and friend you all would love to be around. Either way, just as I will put my trust in you all, I hope I can earn yours.” Hearing all this, the Sky Orc’s had never felt so fortunate, and looked forward to serving such a kind person. They only hoped that his kindness would not be his downfall and felt they needed to protect the wonderful man.

“So, anyways to start this off, I wanted to have a feast with you all tonight. After wards I was hoping you all would help me with my business as I need workers. Do not worry, I have rooms for everyone on the third floor. However there is one issue….” Yueliang paused for a few moments with a solemn expression before continuing. “This planet, earth, as far as I know, there are no orcs or other races really as you have seen from my memories I am sure. For me this is sad because I do not want you to be taken advantage of or tested on because of the greed of humans on this planet.

I mean really the male Sky Orcs are so handsome, I am sure you would be heart throbs on this planet. As for the lady Sky Orcs, you are so beautiful, many of the women here might kill you from envy. However do not get me wrong, I will not take advantage of my position to be with you. Also, if you have problems with anything I say or do, please bring it up with me. If I am in error please correct me. If there is a misunderstanding or something do not worry I will not punish you.

Although should any of you betray me. You will wish the thunder comes, for I will end any traitors slowly and painfully. I will not go into detail, however I hope you will not hold it against me for asking you to please take human form whilst on this planet, unless otherwise specified. As I do not know if that is possible or not, I plan on enchanting bracelets for all of you, so that others will perceive you as human.” Yueliang said still feeling kind of down trodden for asking such kind seeming people to have to hide their appearance.

After a few seconds of silence, one Sky Orc broke the silence saying. “Although, we may not know you personally, we have your memories. We know you are not a bad person. I am absolutely certain I speak for all of us when I say, we are honored to serve such a magnanimous, powerful, and kind King.” The male orc said as he knelt pounding his fist against his heart. At the same time, all the other Sky Orcs copied this movement to show their fealty. If one was to sea this from in the air, it would look like a wave coming out from that person in all directions.

That same Orc then continued whilst kneeling. “You have given us a home, work, the chance to grow, even food and drink. However most of all we now have a honorable king. You have given us more than you know.”

Then a female Sky Orc voiced out, enticing the other to follow. “King Yueliang, King Yueliang, King Yueliang.” They chanted as they pounded their left fist to the ground in such unison it sounded like music to the ear, whilst also creating a vibration felt throughout the building. This was quite the feat as the materials used to create high quality buildings these days were designed to not shake even with an extreme earthquake.

Yueliang felt so moved and happy to have such people around him. He then said “If you would like to explore the property, go ahead. Also since I have yet to make the bracelets please be patient before going outside. Your rooms have all been prepared, if they are not to your liking, you are free to modify them. Just please do not break any parts of the building. I will have your bracelets ready by tomorrow morning, I will prepare them after tonight’s feast. So please have fun and enjoy yourself for a few hours as I have a few preparations to make.”

After saying what he had to say, he left the room waving to everyone. Once out of the room he made a quick call to prepare a feast in the meeting hall. It looked great already. Kind of like a ball room. All one had to do was press a button and the wall would flip, changing out the stage for stairs to the balcony and tables. After finishing the massive order, he quickly ordered all the materials he needed to make a forging room, with all the tools and even an alchemy room with everything for that as well.

After a few minutes, all of the supplies where teleported to the room he was in. Although as for the feast, the food would be there in an hour roughly and the caterer would set it up for him. While looking at all the supplies in front of him, he thought to himself. ‘I actually think both humans and these sky orcs have similar beauty, however for the sake of keeping them safe I needed to warn them. I mean a century and a half ago, before people saw that martial arts and healthy lifestyles where the way to live longer, and stronger, there was sickness and disease everywhere. Now we are all healthy and what not, even the average person could live to 150 or longer.’

“Well that does not matter any more. Anyways, time to get this set up.” He was in a room on the second floor. This room was connected to two rooms, one would be the alchemy room, and the other is his new bedroom. He instantly go to work after saying what he did. He picked up the Inferno Bricks (improved fire bricks, they keep the heat inside really well and let it grow, without breaking from temperature difference or other things). Then he placed them into a 2 meter by 2 meter square base in the corner of the room. He designed a great forge, even having paths for the molten metals to go once he was ready.

Although a path like this would normally be a problem, he could use level 1 cleaning magic to get rid of any residues that would hinder future creations. He then organized all the materials, tools, oil, and everything. He then created a ventilation system so that he would be able to survive in such a room. Once he had everything connected and organized well, he took out a level 3 fire crystal that he bought from the shop and placed it in the forge.

[Level 3 Fire Crystal]

[Description: A crystal that has been formed by mana of the fire element to such a hot degree it could match 1/1,000th of a solar flare from earths sun. Will burn when activated by mana. Will not extinguish so long as there is mana to fuel it.]

{SC: 200}

‘Well, this room is set up, however I think it is about time for the feast. As the host, I cannot be late.’ Yueliang thought to himself as he headed out of the room to change clothes and get ready for the celebration.
