God Emperor In The Body of a Rich Merchant

Chapter 20: Valley of the Wolves

The carriage that would be used to transport the corpses and the trading crates had been successfully made.

Each car is four-wheeled. For a car meant for transporting corpses, it was made with slightly smaller increments compared to a car made for transporting trading crates. In addition to being a little small, the train is intended to transport corpses, made roofs and walls made of wood, to be protected from sunburn, rain, and the eyes of people when entering the capital.

Emperor Quelle ordered Raju to move the entire trading chest and corpse onto the carriage.

The next morning they continued their journey to the capital.

However, at the time of starting to travel...

"Uggghhh..." Raju felt very difficult when he tried to push the train containing the trading crates owned by the traders.The energy he had was not not comparable to the level of load possessed by a number of crates.

"Hhhhh...!!" Raju kept trying and trying with all his might.

"Did during the previous trip we not ride a mount animal?" emperor Quelle asked as he cast his gaze around.

"Rides?" Raju asked without giving an answer.

"Yes, animal mounts."

"What do you mean young master? Have we not since we traveled from the kingdom of Agninusa to this region we have continued on foot?"

"......" Emperor Quelle thought for a moment.

"I'm sorry I forgot." said Emperor Quelle. "Then I will find an animal that can be ridden to transport these two trains.

"But young master...."

"What's wrong?"

"In this forest there are only wild animals."

"No problem, even wild animals can be used as mounts. I can take care of it."

"What happened to this kid? Since losing her father, things have changed for her. It was as if he was a different person." thought Raju.

Emperor Quelle who accidentally read his mind smiled. From what he read, he will be careful not to give a question mark about Enzi in the minds of others.

Emperor Quelle ran into the forest, while he was out of Raju's sight, Emperor Quelle leapt high above the treetops. Observing forest conditions, looking for animal movements that can be used as mounts.

From the top of the tree, Emperor Quelle saw the movements of a herd of wolves eating a deer carcass.

"This one savage animal, is it capable of carrying that much weight?" Emperor Quelle imagined the situation that would occur if he harnessed the power of wolves in transporting loads.

"One wild animal can't, two wild animals can't, three wild animals? I feel unbalanced. What about four? Hm.. I think that's enough." Emperor Quelle sighed, "alright, I will tame them now!"

Emperor Quelle jumped from the top of the tree to another tree trunk. Jump and keep jumping, to set foot in front of a group of wolves who are busy eating breakfast.

Taps!

"Grrrrhhh!!!!"

The wolf pack looked furious with the presence of Emperor Quelle.

With blood still lingering in the mouth, the wolves jumped up and attempted to pounce on Emperor Quelle who was standing before them.

Emperor Quelle jumped high dodging the attack.

Foot resting on a small tree.

"If I take out a small chunk of my aura, will this body be able to control it?" emperor Quelle thought worried.

Emperor Quelle held onto the tree branch and absorbed a bit of his life energy.

The tree he was walking on dried up, like a tree that had lived without water for many years.

Seeing that, the wolves were terrified. They ran hard, trying to get back to the hideout.

"They're running away? It seems I have to change plans."

Emperor Quelle followed their footsteps in secret.

Hordes of wolves hide in the valley which is located right under the foot of the pulosari mountain.

Emperor Quelle jumped and set foot in the wolf valley. A pack of mighty wolves came out from within the valley and greeted Emperor Quelle with a roar so fierce.

Emperor Quelle understood the language of animals, including wolves. It is not difficult for a god to know the language of living things in the universe.

The wolf pack was surprised to see a human figure who understood their language.

"I want to have a little chat with your chief. Can I meet him now?"

The head of the wolf pack came forward and stood before Emperor Quelle.

"I am Grayscale, the ruler of this valley! What need do you seek me, son of man?"

"It's good to see you, Grayscale. I am a small merchant of the human race. I came here to open important negotiations with you."

"What negotiation do you want to discuss with me, man?"

"Bid cooperation."

"A cooperative offer?" The Wolf Leader turned his gaze to the right and left. Looking at the expression of the wolf army that was standing behind him. "Cooperation? You're asking us to work with you? Haha." The wolf chief laughed at the offer that Emperor Quelle had made to him.

Emperor Quelle only smiled seeing the reaction given by the wolf chief.

"It seems that the offer I made to you sounds funny in your ear."

"What advantage can we get if I accept your offer of cooperation?" ask the wolf leader.

"Before I answer your question, I will give you a little explanation of the laws of nature. In the laws of nature, the ruler of a region can be replaced by a stronger being. You never know when your colony can survive in this region. Unbeknownst to you, there are many beings stronger than you who have expanded their realm in various places out there. It is possible that, at some point in time, they may extend their territory to this region, it may be possible that you and your colony will perish if that happens. Therefore, you need the help of a supporting force that can increase your strength."

"So you have come here to help us defend this territory, O people?"

"Yes, you could say that."

"What help do you want to give us?" ask the wolf chief to Emperor Quelle. "Even though you are so strong, yet your strength is not enough to protect my children" he continued.

"Do you think that I will join you here, then I will wait for those beings stronger than you to come to invade this territory? Then, when I succeed in protecting you, I will obtain the rewards of a fiefdom? No, of course it's not like it's a cooperative offer I want to build with you guys."

"If it's not like that, then what? Say it directly and do not have to beat around the bush, man!"

"Have you heard of evolution?"

"...." the wolves just looked at each other.

"Ah, I don't think you've ever heard of it. All right, then I'll give you a little explanation of the evolution I'm referring to. Evolution means change. So I will help turn you, who are now, into stronger beings. With a force that multiplies!"

"How do you double our strength?" asked the wolf leader while smiling wryly. "What you spread sounds so improbable, O man!" it looks like I don't believe it.

Emperor Quelle smiled warmly and said, "With my strength, I can help you guys evolve into stronger beings!"

"The energy I put out to help weak beings like them to evolve, is not much different from the energy I put out in restoring the bodies of weak beings. A few drops of blood flowing from this body, was enough to make them evolve. I guess, there would be no problem with this weak body if I did." thought Emperor Quelle.

"With your power? With your strength can you help us transform into stronger beings? Hahaha, unbelievable!" the wolf chief doubted what Emperor Quelle had just said.

"If you don't believe me, I can prove it to you now!" the Emperor Quelle.

"Hurry and prove your words, O people!"

"Before that, please prepare a vessel filled with water in front of me!"

"........?????" The wolf pack looked at each other, they did not understand how to prepare the vessel and water before Emperor Quelle.

"Oops, I'm sorry I forgot that I was talking to animals. Then, wait here for a moment, I will prepare a vessel and water for you!"

Emperor Quelle jumped up, moved quickly to pick up the vessel and asked Raju for a jug of water.

Without asking, Raju took a jug of water from the carriage, and gave it to Emperor Quelle.

Without wasting much time, Emperor Quelle leaped high up the tree, and moved darting swiftly into the wolf valley.

Upon Emperor Quelle's return to the wolf valley, emperor Quelle tore off the tip of his index finger in front of the wolf pack, and allowed his blood to drip into the water that had been provided in the jug.

The number of drops of blood flowing from his index finger was as much as five drops. After the fifth trickle, Emperor Quelle let his fingertips regenerate themselves very quickly without any scar.

As his blood mixed with the water in the jug, Emperor Quelle cast his gaze toward the wolf pack that was behind Grayscale. He looked for the weakest wolf among them, and appointed the weak wolf as the first evolutionary target on earth.

"You who are on the rock! Come here!"
