424 A Relaxing Morning, Amihans Greatest Wish (2/2)

”Well, I don't know if it will really work. For now, its some kind of Psy-Railgun.”

Mark replied after swallowing a mouthful of fried meat.

Hearing that reply, Mei was stumped.

To think that Mark was currently designing a weapon that was still under testing of the military of other higher countries.

”Gege, isn't this still in concept and theory of other countries?”

”Well, I don't know if they really made a working one. But this one I am making is different. I'm using materials that don't exist on Earth before. Maybe, it can work.”

Mei could not refute that. Many things were still in theory before because of the lack of things that could be used to make them. Now, however, many new things, like [Blood Metal], started to exist.

”But Gege, does it have to be this big?”

Mei asked. After all, it was really a big one if it could be mounted on a vehicle's roof.

And to her question, Mark nodded.

”We need to prepare. If what I expected is true, gigantic mutants will appear in the future. I rather have something to use when that time came.”

That was something that Mei could not refute. The Frog Headed Infected and the Stone Clad Woman that they encountered before were good examples. Furthermore, there was also the whale she heard from Mark and Karlene.

”I just wish that nothing like that World Destroyer will appear.”

Mark said with a sigh. He remembered the abomination he saw at Freed's memories.

”Gege, what about the power source for that railgun?”

”Well, at first, I only have one option. Now, there's two.”

Mark said as he called out two crystals and placed the two on the table. One was the [Lightning Mental Crystal]. The other was the new [Physical Crystal] he got yesterday.

The only problem with these two was that the [Lightning Mental Crystal] could only be activated by hi. On the other hand, the [Psysical Crystal] could only be used by someone that would consume it.

He did not have any power source that could be used publicly.

”Master~!!!”

While Mark and Mei were talking, Amihan flew up into the balcony from outside. After returning, she would usually fly around outside the base while enjoying nature at this time in the morning.

For her to come this early, she surely needed something.

”You need something?”

Mark asked.

Amihan flew down on to the table and sat down in front of Mark.

”Master, when do you plan to plant the Spirit Tree?”

”Should it be planted already?”

Mark asked. In fact, he planned to plant it later after trying out a few things. However, it seemed that Amihan was quite eager to do so.

”It's not really urgent,” Amihan said after thinking a bit. ”But it's better to plant it as soon as possible. You see, plants planted near a spirit tree grow faster and healthier. I'm having a hard time finding wild fruits.”

”Hah...” Mark sighed. ”I see...”

Mark stared at Amihan with a smirk. She might be hiding it, but she was a glutton. He clearly remembered how he met her when she stole a whole basket of wild berries from him.

However, her suggestion was not bad at all. If a Spirit Tree could accelerate the growth of the crops they planted, it would be the best for the base.

”Should we plant it now?”

Mark asked, which made Amihan rather surprised. She then smiled and nodded fiercely.

”Yes! Yes!”

Seeing her excited look, Mark and Mei could not help but smile. Amihan looked really adorable just now.

As thus, Mark and Mei finished their breakfast and took the little girls out of the house.

”By the way...” Mark suddenly spoke to Amihan, who sat on his shoulder. ”You have another agenda, right?”

Amihan froze and made a stifled laugh.

”I really can't hide anything to Master, can I?”

The little sylph sighed and finally said the main reason she was excited.

”Actually, Master, I just want to see the place where my parents were born. I might be a spirit as humans call me. However, I have never entered the spirit world. Not even once. I was born after my parents were outcasted by our race, here in the mortal world. Everything I know about their home place came from my parents. I just want to see their stories with my own eyes.”

Mark, Mei, and the little girls listened to Amihan's story. Every time she mentioned her parents, there was a fluctuation of sadness and anger inside her. She probably remembered how her parents perished because of an evil spirit.

Since that was the real reason, Mark would not delay it further. He wanted to reward such a loyal person like Amihan. She might be mischievous and hard-headed, she never betrayed Mark's expectations.

It was a good chance to reward this hundred years old little girl.
