Monster Integration (Web Novel)

Knock Knock!

I was working on the alchemy when I heard the knock on the door. I opened my eyes and saw Ven, Sarina, and Klea at the door.

I looked at my body and cleaned myself with the energy.

I am still sitting in the practice room, naked. I hadn't moved from it, since the practice.

Click!

I wore clothes and walked out of the practice room, before opening the door.

"Sorry, for coming so early. I was hoping that we would do the trade," he said apologetically.

"Sure. Cin," I replied and invited in.

I had also collected, the energy envelope with the aura of Prime. It transformed into information as I touched it. It is a notice from Prime; telling us that the ship will be delayed by three days from the original departure time.

This means we will be on the island for a week more. It is fine, there are sthings, I want to finish before I enter the ship which is being always watched by the prime.

There was a faint hesitation on their faces before they entered the abode.

"Once again, I am really sorry, but I really need those things," he apologized again. "It is fine. If I were in your place, I would also want to make a breakthrough as soon as possible to," I replied.

A surprise appeared in his eyes before he shook his head.

"Has nothing ever remained hidden from you?" he asked, I smiled. It is quite easy to guess; he is at his limit and those things he wants fromwould help him tremendously during that.

"Before we start with the business; I hope, you won't mind a little breakfast?" I asked, and he smiled.

"I haven't forgotten the taste of the food, you fedlast time," he said as he sat across the counter with Sarena and Klea.

"That's kind of you to say that," I said and took out the stuff.

Soon, I started to cook. We didn't talk. There is not much to talk about. We might be friendly, but each of us guarding our secrets zealously. We don't want to do more than it's needed, in case we reveal something, that we shouldn't.

It is becoming especially important for him since I am revealing thing after thing, which he wants to keep secret.

"Have you reached, Grade 7 with culinary art?" asked Sarena, with faint awe in her voice.

"No, I am still in Grade 6," I replied. Feeling pleased that she thinks these skills are of Grade 7.

"I had a chance to see one Grade 6 culinary master, and you seemed much better than them," she praised.

"The chasm between Grade 6 and Grade 7 is huge. It will be years or even decades, before I reach there," I said, with a faint hope in my eyes.

I am good, but still not enough to be in Grade 7. There is a huge difference between each level. The difference is huge in every three levels; it is big enough, that it stopped over 99.9% of the people.

Soon, I finished the breakfast and laid the table.

"This is the best thing I have ever eaten," said Klea, after gulping down the first bite of her pancake, while Ven and Sarena looked at me.

"This honey," she said, looking at the bowl of glittering honey. "I have a lot of it. I hope you have good enough things to trade for it," I replied with a smile and their expressions turned serious as they looked at each other.

They tasted other things, and soon the whole table was cleaned.

"Thank you, Carlos, for giving us a meal of life," said Ven. "I am glad you liked it," I said and took the dishes to the sink.

This surprised them; the dishes could be washed instantly with the help of energy, but I liked the process; it had beca ritual for me.

"Let us," said Sarena as she appeared bywith Ven. "There is no need," I replied. "You have fed us a wonderful meal. Let us do this at least," she insisted.

"Fine," I said, and let them wash the dishes. In a few minutes, they finished.

"Let's go," I said to them, leading them toward the room, which I had specially prepared for the trade. I could control every part of the abode, while they were dining, the changes happening in one room.

"Klea, stay here, while we do the business with Carlos," said Ven.

The young girl didn't seem happy about it, but she nodded without saying any words. "You can read, any book from the shelf, if you feel bored," I added, which lit up her eyes.

Click!

Soon, we reached the room, with a white square table. It is a beautiful elvish table, carved by a master. They sat on one side of it, while I sat on another.

Nobody spoke for a couple of seconds before Ven opened his mouth.

"You said, you have that soil. We have traded for the last time. Do you have those roses too?" he asked, with a faint nervousness and excitement in his eye.

"I have soil and other elements. I also have roses till a Sky Sovereign level," I said and a shock in their eyes was apparent.

Last time, I traded cloud tar soul with him. this time, thanks to the disk, I have eleven other elements with the hint of origin in them; they are the resources, that even Prwould fight to death.

They are useful to even them. They are useful to them thank us; we could only use them in a very small amount, but even a small amount is transformational.

"Really? Are you speaking the truth?" he asked.

This time, I didn't reply. Instead, twelve transparent spheres cout. Each sphere contains the element. From the soil, he is familiar with the lightning that seemed to bring destruction as well as life.

There is also wind, fire, and other elements. Seeing that, their eyes went big as saucers and their bodies shook.

This is not a resource, that even Prwould have. If the prbecaware, that I had it; he wouldn't hesitate to kill me.

That is why he won't know it. I have made enough preparation; that these two wouldn't be able to tell anyone, even if they wanted to. I like them, but I don't trust them enough, and hens, take the precautions.

I let them watch the elements for a while, before taking out the essence roses. These things are tremendously useful to them than me.

They could use them in practice.

They didn't look at them; they kept staring at the elements, which isn't surprising. From what I can find out; they have something essence rose; it is not stable and lasting.

They need to use it within a day of harvesting it from Grimms, but it is still something. The elements, on the other hand, aren't something, they have.

They are extremely rare and what increases their value further, is that I have them in twelve elements.

I don't have only one element, like the last time.

They want the elements, desperately. It is clear in their eyes, but the question is, what do they have to trade for it because unlike last time, I am not willing to sell them for cheap.
