Chapter 58: Distracting, or Bee-neficial?
The minor purification went off without a hitch, the bees handling it as they had many times before. Belissar was curious when they arranged themselves differently than before, but figured that was the influence of a queen joining the battle. Regardless, everything went according to expectations. Belissar got the usual minor choices and added another ten mana to his max. He wasn’t planning another expansion for a while, but figured it wouldn’t hurt to start working on the mana beforehand. More mana never hurt, either. Belissar threw a celebration for the bees and then turned in for the night.
The next morning, Belissar walked over to the Orchard and found the wood tree having completely regrown over the night. He went ahead and chopped it down, then started to remove the branches. He was just finishing up when something caught his attention. A shift in the Tower’s mana.
He turned his sight to the area in question which turned out to be the entrance. A group of bear folk had entered the dungeon, including Chief Rohsuak.
“Oh. Right.”
Belissar had sort of forgotten about them, but it had been a day or two since the purification so it was just about time for them to return. Belissar sighed and wiped some of the sweat off his brow. He didn’t want to put off the beehouse work, but he did want to keep learning magic. Making magic honey that could help bees heal themselves was great, but there was a bit of gap between that and the massive fireball Chief Rohsuak had displayed.
Belissar walked over through the Flower Meadow and on to the entrance. Chief Rohsuak smiled at his approach.
“Hello, Sacred Den Master. I hope we’re not intruding.”
Belissar shook his head.
“It’s fine.”
