Chapter 175: Win-Win Application
CH175 Win-Win Application
***
Alex had only hoped that by showing the Wendigo his memories of what happened, he might avoid a battle. He had helped the Wendigo’s daughter... even if it was by killing her.
He never expected that—just like the tale in the Bard’s Diary—he would earn the Wendigo’s recognition and be gifted its spirit antler.
And on top of that, the creature placed a kill-order on every goblin in the forest.
’Maybe the Bard’s claim wasn’t wrong... that the method would work for who it was meant to, regardless of whether he announced it or not.
’This only worked because I chose to send off the Wendigo female in the most humane way possible, even giving her a respectful burial. If I had not done that before meeting her papa—or mama—Wendigo, I would not have gotten the antlers.’
Alex looked down at the spirit antler in his hands.
Strangely, he didn’t feel as excited about it as he thought he would. His own Spiritual Force was already incredibly strong and durable—likely the combined value of two souls, in truth.
He doubted absorbing the spirit antler would help him much.
Eyeing the golden energy surrounding the antlers, Alex muttered, "Daddy golden energy, you are dropping the ball. This is not all that useful to me. And just look at the effort you made me go through to get it."
He grumbled on, "Back in the subspace, you gave me awesome rare products like the Heavenroot Nectar, an entire high-grade mana mine, a Primal Origin Stone and a Wondrous Tree... all without making me work for them. But now? After risking my life, all I get is a not-so-useful rare item?"
