Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer-Novel
Chapter 615: Recruiting ChaturSam doesn’t know if he is being paranoid or not. But he felt that there is more to the story than what meets the eye.
Even if the sect really only wanted to cause the civil war within the dimension, there is no way the perpetrator who is smart enough to orchestrate all this doesn’t know that it would cause a war between the nations themselves.
The thing that is bothering him most is that he is being used without even his knowledge and they almost succeeded.
He would collect his debts no matter what.
But before that, he should receive some rewards for all the effort he put in the past week.
When he reached the Volcanic cannon, there are many people already there. This is the only place where the war deadlock didn’t reach the resource point itself.
Due to Sam’s arrangement through which he called for squad earlier and maintain the defense the war here is not as intense as in other places.
The same goes for Pearl lake and as for the Bamboo forest, Sam is not too interested in that place. Even though the water tasted good, it is not extremely useful for him. At most, it would be some expensive water for him to drink.
At the Volcanic cannon, Chatur is already waiting for him along with Raiju.
It is nearly midnight. They immediately went to a tent Chatur already set up and started discussing the information.
"The rubrum emperor’s commander is in charge of the intelligence. He only took charge for a week and his subordinates are the ones who brought the news from the hill."
"Subordinates? You mean it is not a single person who carried the news?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No, for the three days the updates of the battle are brought by three different people. All three of them are supposedly stationed at three different places near the hill and all three people gave reports of three different supposedly happened battles which didn’t happen at all."
"Where are they now?"
"They were rewarded for their ’merit’ and because you took over the rescue into your hands, they were assigned to another place and all three places are farthest from the Nagin castle."
"What do you know about the factions of the Rubrum empire within the Nagin Castle?"
"They are tightknit. Everyone from the Rubrum empire, might be human, Naga, or half-Naga. But they will only join a squad that is fully under the control of the Rubrum empire.
They wouldn’t take in outsiders. There are some exceptions and the main requirement is that the person shouldn’t have any affiliation with the other nations’ forces. He should be a lone wolf, without any form of link with any other faction.
But the individual members of the rubrum empire will try to get in touch with other squads and factions to get information and sell it to the top dogs of their faction to get into squads.
Even though, the rest of the castle members knew that they can do little about that. They are not selling the information on the families and such, at most they will be able to get the information on the resource points or other places where some gains could be obtained.
This happens all the time and all the factions try to pull this, but these people do it more. Apart from that, there is nothing abnormal about them.
I don’t know much about Sectum, but the normal commander from the Rubrum empire is his brother and his name Salvan. He is scheming. I don’t know how he got his hands on the head of intelligence position, but he did.
He is the one who got more gains than all the five commanders. He has a pretty good network in the dimension and has contacts with other races and other castles."
Sam thought for a moment and looked at chatur before saying.
"I have an important matter for you to do. But before that, I want to know the exact truth of who you are what your situation is."
"Didn’t I tell you all that before?" Chatur sounded a bit nervous.
"I know you are hiding something and I didn’t bother to call that off, because I couldn’t bother to mind your business. But now, someone is trying to dig a grave for me, I cannot afford that.
You either tell me what is it or you can go away."
Chatur stayed silent for a moment and said.
"I didn’t like. I was really cast aside because of my lack of combat prowess and I have a relatively useless ability only painting can bring out.
My spiritual core is a little different. I have an affinity with the water elements, but I cannot use it much for an attack because the amount of water I conjure with spiritual energy is extremely small and not dense enough.
But that is not even the main problem. My body is completely against the circulation of energy in the form of those attacks and if that is not enough, I have a weird ability I discovered when I started learning painting to let go of the stress.
If I use my ability and energy to draw something, it gains sentience for a short amount of time."
He paused and took out his brush as he drew in the air with his brush, his spiritual energy started conjuring into the water and the water changed color before forming a bird in the air.
The bird started flying around Sam.
"I could control it, but I cannot make it attack. Even if I ask it to crash into the wall, the attack power is not being enough. The only good thing is, it doesn’t need too much energy and as long as it stays sentient, it absorbs the energy from the surroundings and stays in shape. My energy consumption will be reduced.
All I can do is scout a bit and gather information. As for combat, there is nothing I could do.
Added with the fact that I am the bastard son of my family and that too a family full of soldiers, my father is just a bit away from kicking me out. I couldn’t do anything. Even the entry to this place was because of the noble blood in my body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMy brother who is the current Mov Empire commander made sure that I couldn’t get the recognition for my skills and I am being suppressed and he has no intention of letting you take all the glory. But I heard about you, a lot actually and I wanted to use this opportunity to put my skills to us.
As you have seen, I might be useless in combat. But I am good at many other things. I can make connections, draw maps, and create architectural designs. I wanted to use you to get some recognition and fall in the eye of someone who can put my skills to use. That is it. Apart from that, I don’t have any other intention."
Sam once again went into deep thought.
"I believe you. At least, most of it. Then I can offer you something.
Help me for the next few months. You will use all your means to finish the tasks. I might not be able to recommend to you someone who can use your abilities. But, if you want you can work with me. Not only will I teach you how to use your ability properly, but I will also teach you how to attack and defend with it.
You really don’t understand what your ability can do. You are no defective, in fact, you have a gift many people can only dream about. But there is a catch."
"What is it?" He sounded extremely hopeful.
"I need you to take this pill." Sam took out the Pill of servitude.
Chatur looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"It is not that I don’t trust you Chatur. But I cannot take a chance. You will know exactly what is it stake for me. I cannot let someone who I cannot trust with my life stay around me. There are a lot of lives depending on me and I cannot gamble them all away.
I built everything I have on my own, if one day you were in a rock and hard place and decided to give up on me, it wouldn’t be just me who will be in jeopardy. In fact, I am confident I can save myself, but all that I built will be lost completely. I don’t think I can afford that gamble with just your word.
You can think it over and answer me. If you don’t want to do that, I can just contact someone within the military, but you will be stuck on this planet. I can take you out of Naga Loka.
You can see the other world. Think it over."
Before he could finish his words, he already took the pill and threw it in his mouth. Sam smiled and said.
"From today onwards, you don’t have to worry about going unnoticed. You will leave a mark of yours in this world, that the generations will never dare to forget."
