Leon's eyes fixed on the dialog box that automatically appeared on his retina. He was actually focusing on the inventory where the Lumberjack summoning card is located.
[ Lumberjack ]
[ "He chops trees by day and hunts The Log by night. His bottle of Rage spills everywhere when he's defeated." The Lumberjacks are said to be a former Raged Barbarian, they lost their swords, which is also the reason for them using axes. While the other Raged Barbarians who missed the boat trips, chased the boat and went into the Builder Base. Some of them didn't go back and proceed to live a solitude life as a Lumberjack in the Home village.]
A dialog box automatically appeared on Leon's retina providing information and images of Lumberjacks on it.
'They are former Raged Barbarians huh... fascinating.' Leon thought as he shaked his head.
After a observing the information panel he returned to the town hall. His gaze then shifted to the clearing space beside it, and a decision took form in his mind. "Retrive," he muttered, retrieving two white cards from his inventory. With a swift motion, he threw the cards into the open space.
A large number of data streams appeared on his retina as he gave the order then a 2x2 squared meter building materialized. It was 2 small huts with four wooden pillars in its corners. Between the pillars there a stone wall with two holes serving as a window and the door. Its roof is also made of wood that was painted in black and had a giant saw and hammer forming a cross as its decoration.
Snore~
They are sleeping?
ZzZzzz~
Leon eyed the place. He knew that his ears were not playing tricks on him.
Those were obvious snorting sounds, which sounded just like those commonly heard from tired office workers on Earth.
"Haah... they are tired I guess."He sighed and shook his head, realizing the peculiar quirks of the builders.
Not to be deterred, Leon retrieved another card from his inventory and tossed it beside the builder huts. A coalescence of data shimmered in his eyes, and before him materialized ten lumberjacks who appears to be shirtless men who wears a kilt and a blue-colored ushanka and blue-colored sandals, they also wields an axea and holds a bottle with a purple liquid. This guys also had orange hair and a mustache with a beard.
Thud*
Dropping their bottles gently to the ground, the lumberjacks knelt in unison, shouting, "Greetings, your lordship!" Leon couldn't help but be amused by the uncanny resemblance to the barbarians, the only difference being the orange hair.
"Rise," Leon commanded with a wry smile. "Cut down the trees in the northern side of the town hall and gather them at the ruin castle."
"Aye sir" The lumberjacks, fueled by enthusiasm, rose and promptly carried out their lord's orders.
One of the ten lumberjacks, a burly man with fiery orange hair, stumbled upon a particularly impressive tree.
"Hehe" Grinning with anticipation, he reached for the large bottle filled with purple liquid that he was carrying.
Gulp!
Taking a hearty swig, the vibrant hue of the liquid seemed to infuse him with newfound energy.
RAAAHH!!
With a roar of exhalation, the lumberjack's muscles tensed, and a surge of vigor coursed through him. Raising his axe high, he struck a mighty pose, ready to tackle the mighty tree before him. The axe, gleaming in the dappled sunlight, descended with thunderous force as the lumberjack unleashed a powerful swing, aiming to conquer the formidable wood before him.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Each resounding strike echoed through the clearing, the rhythmic cadence of the lumberjack's efforts harmonizing with the natural sounds of the forest. The purple elixir had evidently granted him enhanced strength, turning the mundane task of felling trees into a display of raw power.
The same are happening with the other lumberjacks in the vicinity.
The northern side of the town hall echoed with the rhythmic sounds of axes meeting wood as the lumberjacks eagerly commenced their task.
Leon was observing the industrious lumberjacks as they tirelessly chopped down trees near the northern side of the town hall his attention was then drawn to a familiar face. Among the villagers working diligently, he spotted the woman who had served him earlier. Calling her over, he issued a new set of instructions.
"Go, gather some women from the village. Venture into the forest and forage for wild fruits," Leon instructed, his tone firm yet considerate. "Ask Kael to assign five barbarians to guard your group."
"As you wish my lord" The villager nod.
As the villager prepared to depart, Leon halted her with a further request. "Wait, also inform Kael that he should come to the town hall," he added. The woman nodded and hurried off to carry out her lord's orders.
Leon then walked inside the town hall as he proceeded to his office, where he waited for Kael.
Knock! Knock!
Soon, a knock resonated through the door.
"Come in" Leon beckoned Kael inside.
"Fo you have any orders lord Leon?"
Leon looked at Kael then declared "Kael, We're going to explore and familiarize ourselves with the forest,"
"Understood" Kael nod acknowledging the command.
_________
Leon took Kael with him and started to look around to see if there were any dangers or resources.
Along the way, Leon brought Kael, the leader of the raged barbarians, and killed a few wild rabbits and two Grey Wolves.
Then suddenly!
At that moment, the grass swayed as a rabbit that was slightly bigger than a mutt appeared. It was covered with fiery-red fur and did not look as cute as ordinary rabbits. Instead, it looked quite ugly and its eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
Seeing this rabbit, Kael stood in front of Leon.
"Hmm... a Magi beast huh" Leon said as he observed the Red rabbit.
Then suddenly the rabbit opened its mouth, and flames gathered in front of its mouth, forming a fireball. It tilted its head upwards, and the fireball shot towards Leon.
Facing the fireball, Kael leapt forwards, his axe giving off a shining silver light as it slashed towards the incoming fireball.
Bang!
A massive explosion sounded out as the fireball turned into sparks and dissipated, not harming Leon at all.
Following this, the rabbit released a few more fireballs at Kael, but Kael easily dodged them.
Seeing that the fireballs did not hit Kael, the rabbit looked even more furious. It leapt up and opened its mouth, revealing its two sharp rabbit teeth as it bit towards Kael.
Hmmph
Kael coldly harrumphed as he stepped forwards and slashed out with his axe.
Blood flew everywhere as the axe slice through the rabbit's throat, killing it.
