Chapter 82: Dark Forest Preparations (10)

Once he was done with that, it was time for the actual build. He began marking out the areas for the foundations, digging holes over the allotted space.

The alchemist's cabin would cover an area big enough to fit two large boars, which for someone of his size was quite an ambitious task.

"Say after me leaflings. If my foundations are wrong, the beatings I get will be strong," Lucius chanted as if he were back in the army.

And the leaflings innocently repeated the chant, watching carefully as Lucius filled the foundations with planks.

"Isn't this song kind of odd?" one of the leaflings whispered to its colleague.

"I don't know what you mean," the other leafling replied, having fun with the army chant.

Next Lucius started with the walls. This time he changed the chant to "If I build a bad wall, off a cliff I will fall," and once again the leaflings repeated. This time with even more vigor.
