After two days of travel, Ark and his comrades finally arrived at the headquarters.
In these two days, Saito and Nami get to know Ark. They even saw his face. Of course, a handsome man a few years younger really surprised them.
Ark himself could only sigh. Just like Shani's previous condition, Ark actually did not want to accept Nami. But due to the couple's determination, plus Saito who threw away his pride and kneeled in front of him while pleading, Ark finally gave up. In the end he thought of a suitable place for Nami.
Of course, after remembering how important Nami was to Saito, Ark felt quite satisfied. The man's loyalty was clearly more trustworthy. Although Ark admits that Saito is a man who is almost impossible to break the oath, but he still thinks of the slightest possibility.
"Welcome to the Sword of Sufferings headquarters."
Looking at the shocked expressions on Saito and Nami's faces, Ark said proudly.
On a well-maintained and reasonably clean street appear three houses on the left side and three on the right side. Outside the three mansions, there appeared a tall wall overgrown with green vines with purple spines. Outside the wall of the fence, there was also a deep enough moat that was deliberately dug for defense.
Yep. After a month and a half, not only four buildings, but six buildings were used.
On the right side of the road, there was the Scarlet Sword headquarters, the main headquarters, and the Violet Sword headquarters. On the left side of the road, there was a craft brewing workshop, a main warehouse, and an additional warehouse.
Ever since Old Franky started repairing various kinds of equipment with him, Ark ordered the new members to start removing the levied trash from various metals and storing it in the house that was now a workshop. Some rooms on the first floor are used as different workshops. The second floor is used as a collection material storage. While the third floor is planned to be used as a place to store semi-finished goods and an arsenal.
While the reason why is still the plan .. yes. Ark still lacks craftsmen!
While the other two buildings are referred to as the main warehouse and additional warehouses. Even so, its function has not been fully deployed because the number of harvests is not excessive at all. So the additional warehouse is currently empty. The first floor of the main warehouse was used as the residence of Debby and the puppies. Of course, because it was too spacious, Ark took several rooms to store farm equipment and the garage was used as a place to put trains. Second floor as a place to store various unprocessed harvests and low quality processed products.
Yep. Ark still divides them based on quality. The yield is divided into three, namely low, medium, and high products. Each process is handled differently. Processed products from low quality ingredients will be sold to the outside through the Dark Caravan. The intermediate product was used as food for the two divisions of Scarlet Sword and Violet Sword, stored on the third floor of the main warehouse. While the best quality was eaten by the core members, it was stored on the three floors of the main headquarters and could only be accessed by the Ark.
Despite trusting enough of its members, Ark still had a habit of caution. He stored everything that was most precious on the third floor of the main headquarters. Be it weapons, gold, high quality seeds, and high quality processed products. Of course, no one dared to protest against it. Even everyone thought it was natural.
Although it is said to be low and medium quality. Actually the quality is not at all inferior to the best goods in normal times. Of course, no one is dissatisfied with it. However, Ark kept something quite important a secret. High quality products appear very little, but have an effect of repair on the body and strengthen if consumed in the long term. The effect is certainly not so excessive as an evolutionary herb, but it is still useful to nourish the body.
Saito and Nami are shocked when they hear Ark's brief introduction. You could say, they they were so amazed by the small group of elites.
Arriving at the warehouse, Ark immediately gave the order.
"Put down and separate things as usual."
"Good!" replied the old members who welcomed their return.
Finished watching the items being moved, Ark removed the fur cloak and mask. In the horrified gazes of Saito and Nami, the five puppies living in the main warehouse instantly ran around the young man. Although arguably puppies, their size was already the same as the size of the adult wolf in the days before apocalypse.
After playing with them for a while, Ark took the other five people away to the main headquarters.
There, the core members of the Sword of Sufferings gathered to welcome their return. Especially Nathan and Nala who are directly attached to Ark. They both seemed to miss the young man very much. Kurona and Shirona who had flat expressions also directly approached Ark. The young man stroked their heads gently then told everyone to disperse.
"Continue what you did before. We'll rest first."
"Good!" answer them in unison.
Ark suddenly stopped Abigail. He then said.
"Well," said Abigail softly.
"Lisa! Tell Scarlet Sword and Violet Sword. Have them gather on the main road. We'll have a good meal tonight."
"..."
Not immediately answering, Lisa instead continued to stare at the Ark.
Ark's lip twitching. He walked up to the little girl and pinched both sides of her cheeks. After that he took out a jade bracelet from his pocket and gave it to Lisa.
Receiving the jade bracelet from Ark, the ogah-ogahan expression on Lisa's face was replaced with an excited expression.
"Ready, Chairman~"
Lisa said cheerfully before leaving in a feisty mood.
Looking at the scene, Saito and Nami looked at Darin. After a while, Saito could not help but ask.
"Was both ... Wife? And Brother?"
"Many people think so, but they don't. Yes ... It's a bit complicated. By the way, you better be careful in saying the word wife."
After saying that, Darin left with Shani. Yonas and Vadim followed behind them.
"There are still empty rooms on the first floor, so you are free to choose. Rest well."
Ark's voice rang out while the figure of the young man had climbed the stairs to the top floor.
Arriving on the third floor, Ark saw Finn lying down. Seeing his arrival, the white man turned his head with a sullen expression.
"Still angry that you're not allowed to come?"
Finn pretended not to hear it. Ark glanced towards the white with a wry smile on his face. Whether on his way to obtaining the Miracle Root or going to the Jade Scorpion headquarters, Finn actually wanted to follow him. But because Ark was afraid of an accident, he asked him to stay at the headquarters. Yeah ... That's what made Finn pout until now.
"Nobody seems to want to play catch~"
Ark said in a lazy tone. He then sat on the sofa and leaned back leisurely.
Just then, Finn who heard the word "catch throw" immediately got up. He immediately darted away. Moments later, the white came back with the Devil's Vines woven ball in his mouth.
Seeing Finn's ridiculous appearance, Ark chuckled. He then got up from his chair. The young man took the ball from the mouth of the white man and stroked his head. Feeling a fairly relaxed and comfortable life, he thought.
'This kind of life .. maybe I don't hate it.'
