Chapter 91: Build a Bear Ha-Bee-tat
Belissar wanted to add some monster bumblebee queens right away but, unfortunately, his available mana was still exceedingly low. He had only sixteen mana to his name after the day’s purification reward…and he had intended to use fifteen of that to add ponds to the three second floor rooms. Then, there were still two empty rooms, one each on the first and third floor, for him to fill. And then, he would likely need to add new resource nodes both to make sure the karnuq were well-supplied and to fulfill his promise to feed all the bees to their hearts’ contents even with the arrival of a new species of queen. With all that in mind, it would likely be some time before Belissar could confidently add a monster bumblebee queen spawner.
He heaved a light sigh before turning in for the night. Well, the solution to all of those issues was the same. Stay patient, conduct purifications, and expand his mana. So, there was nothing for it but to wait for tomorrow.
The next morning, Belissar went ahead and placed three new Pond features in the new second floor rooms. It pained him watching his mana drop back to zero, especially when he knew that fifteen was more than enough for a monster bumblebee queen spawner. But he held to his course for now and made his way to the Tower’s entrance, Niobee and the soldier bee army escorting him as usual. He stepped outside to find the karnuq preparing to gather. They paused, and then saluted to him in their fashion. Leijaliuk, who had been organizing the gatherers as she normally did, walked up to him.
“Hello, Sacred Den Master, did you need us for something?”
Belissar nodded his.
“Is Chief Rohsuak around?”
Leijaliuk turned and motioned to another karnuq who ran into the camp.
“Yes, I’ll send for her. She should meet you shortly.”
Belissar thanked her and then stood off to the side. A moment later, Chief Rohsuak walked up to the Tower.
