Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!

After naming my little tree as "Nische". We proceed on discussing our "hunting plan" for the thieves and which races would we first allow to live in our newly built realm. He shared a lot of knowledge about how the World Tree realm used to be and he said that his goal was to recreate the original one. I assured him that I will help him out in every possible way.

I shared my ideas about getting the mother tree and the orbs first from the elves since those are our properties anyway. He said that he totally agrees with me since they will help stabilize the new realm faster. He told me that the elves, as he calls them collectively are currently living in a place they built on their own in the human realm. He said that they named it just like the place they used to have in the world tree realm which is "Freyheimr". He detested the term "high elves" since he said that the previous "guardians" were the first to call themselves that as a self-proclaimed title to tell that they are better in status than others. He said that any normal elf can be a guardian since it is in their blood and that was their assigned role so mostly it was just a matter of luck. In short, guardians are not special. They were just lucky they were chosen out of everyone. He also told me that the best time to make the move is during the elves' mating season which happens twice a year when they all turn in to "lust-filled and mindless trash that they are" as Nische's choice of words. They will be crazy for a whole week at that time so we can take the orbs and the tree without them noticing.

I told Nische that I can take back the orbs and the mother tree just fine as long as I know where they are. He then gave me a world map that he created through his mystique mana and years of watching over this world. Lia immediately took it and then added it to my kingdom building screen. Ohh... Now they are working together to give me a hand in managing things. This is cool!

Nische marked several places in the map which are the places where the mystique races chose to live in. He also made sure to also give me a description of each area and race through a user-friendly icon placed on pins on top of the places. I really feel that I have GPS and literal maps of most of the area now.

The next thing we talked about is which race to take in first. I told him to take his time and rebuild one area at a time depending on who we will take in first. He then said that the fairies, pixies and sprites would be a good first choice since they can help in managing the forests and the balance of mana. He said that they currently live in a tiny area away from the other races called "Zanahavre". He also said that they have been the worst off of all of the races since they are very dependent on mystique mana and they are the smallest in number and in size among the races. I agreed with what he said and told him to build that area after a month since he has to strengthen himself first above anything else. I said that they should be resilient enough since they were able to survive till now and they can just wait. He said a simple "thanks" to me.

He said that the next thing he wanted to hunt for would be the "Samsara". I still asked what it was though I actually have an idea what it was. It may be different from what I know from my world though. Is it a plant, food, a living entity or an object in this world perhaps? Taking in my silence as curiousity, Nische continued his explanation and said that it was another orb just like the 7 that we talked about before and its job is to control the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth of all things in this world. In total, there should be 8 orbs then. He said he treats it like a timer or a clock and it was taken by the Heralds. He said that those "bastards" were living near the elves so taking all of the stolen things in one go would be great. I smirked and told him to consider it done.

I then asked him if there are any of the races that I can consider as an ally or maybe somebody who is a "lesser evil" than the rest. He then said that the dragons have always been living independently and they never take advantage of others. He also said that the giants are gentle, honest and hardworking so he was thinking of taking them in next. As for the others, he said that he'll think about it in the future.

I told Nische, that I can just pick or even kidnap a few ones to take in and then make sure to have a few kids or so in that race to ensure that they don't go extinct. I am just letting them taste the treatment they did with the humans before. I do not plan on failing my tasks just because of a few unworthy ones. He then laughed and said, "Have you forgotten how mystique races give birth to children?" This totally got me confused for a while then I had to ask Lia for some information.

Lia spoke in a monotonous voice and said, "Dragons come from eggs, blood demons come from blood orbs, fairies come from flowers, heralds come from a fruit of the tree of life, elves come from the fruit of the mother tree, beastmen come from life orbs (for all other animals), moon orbs (lycans) or eggs (merpeople). Humans give birth to children but if the child is half mystique from the mother side, she can then take the child and place it in a life orb and take it back to Eieneos or the world tree realm to nourish it. You don't need the man to come with you." I was nodding my head in understanding. I then told those two, "It is quite heartless to do that but I may have to do it that way for most of the races especially the ones that I don't want to have any further relationships with. I can just steal the tree of life and the mother tree. Well, it is not stealing since they are mine to start with. I can take those orbs and eggs with me if need be too. The problem is I made a promise to take responsibility for the men I deflowered. Ugh." Nische said non-chalantly, "Then don't take the virgins. Most of the races have had the culture of their men changing partners since they have to find a woman that can get them pregnant. If they don't get pregnant after trying for a year, they call it quits and find a new partner to try with." I nodded and said, "Oohh... I can do that then. I can do that with humans too. The problem was, I already took in two virgins. I only ever meet virgins in the human realm which is weird." Lia then spoke with her emotionless voice, "That is because you are looking in the wrong places. Go to the red light district, the slum area, poorer territories, slave trade halls, auction houses or look for middle aged unmarried men. Most races have their certain mating seasons throughout the year. You can go to those events too." Wow. These two are just... They are so non-chalant about this setup and kind of heartless about just taking what they need and be done with it. Are they actually teaching me to do one night stands and the "eat and run" scheme? I told them that I'll think about it in the future. It is not like I am already in the baby-making stages of my task. I have an indefinite lifespan so why should I rush. I already have two official husbands, one accidental husband right here on the palm of my hand and four arranged husbands to keep me busy. There are also four other people looking for me that I met at the entertainment district as per the report that Kayden sent to me via our shared storage space a few days ago. I haven't been in this world for a month and I already have that many!

I told him what my circumstances would be once I get back to the human realm and that it may take some time for me to go through the first steps of the plan since I have to check when the next mating season of the elves will be. I then asked what else he needed from me. We have to finalize everything since once I plant the world tree seed, it will be in hibernation mode for 30 days and will only awaken once it has matured and can change into human form. I really feel that I will miss this little guy though it's trying to take me as his wife.
