Chapter 347: Kobaya
In the next few hours, Masanori gathered the players and fishermen and explained the plan in detail. Although the fishermen were puzzled by the sudden shift in plan, they didn’t mind. Neither did the players who presumed this was what the head fisherman intended all along. Teams were formed, each with specific tasks. Most of the players were to break the canoes to get the wood. The fishermen would start the initial construction.
For the next three hours, the village was busy, busy, busy. Kazi whispered in Masanori’s ear whenever he could and under Masanori’s direction, the players and fishermen worked tirelessly. The village sawed, hammered, and shouted out instructions. Kazi was apart of the canoe breaking squad but eventually was called over to the building.
Kazi told Masanori to omit his name in the creation of the plan. ’Some of these players are ambitious. They want to be the first to find the main objective. It’s better to let them think this is from a local here.’
An hour later and it was lunch break. Kazi wasn’t the type to get tired from menial work. Alas, not everyone was Kazi so he got to walking and thinking. He had a pretty solid idea of who was going to be on the other side.
On their side were the Sapphire Order, the Thunderstrike Brotherhood, and the Red Dragons. By process of elimination, that left the Alhambra Guardians and the Spectres to be their opponents. The balance of power was fairly even, discounting phenomenal players that could likely tip the scales like himself, Sun-young, Jules, and Booker Davis Jr.
’There she is.’
He had been keeping an eye on a certain mage too. A thin woman with silky black hair and a white dress off alone, crouched, and her hands glowing with a faint light. Intrigued, Kazi joined down next to her.
"Whatcha doing?"
"Ohmygod—" Pauline gasped and turned, nearly tripping. She instantly found relief that it was someone she knew. "Kazi, wow! You surprised me!"
"Sorry, sorry." Kazi looked down and saw an oddly shaped piece of wood and a fading magic circle underneath it. "I figure you were sitting there and looking at the ground for the fun of it."
A smile spread across her face. "Hehe, I’m transmuting rocks into wood."
