Interdimensional Farming in Another World

Chapter 144 Home Has Changed

?

Alex returned home after agreeing to the demands of the divine butterfly tribe. The remuneration he received was satisfying for him to do that. 

The divine butterfly tribe, as suggested, began to create an information network. They immediately called other great tribes for a meeting, in which they decided to develop the information network.

As expected, there were voices of opposition from some tribes. After all, the nine great tribes didn't have a great relationship with each other. But, the opposition was squashed when the majority decided to participate in the endeavour with the divine butterfly tribe. 

Thus, the neutral divine butterfly tribe became the centre for information. 

All tribes, small, big or great, were allowed to approach them with information about the evil organisation. Later, special teams would act on the knowledge they gained and punish the evil.

The formation of the special team would commence once the Champion's tournament began. All the other tribes agreed to allow the youngsters that performed the best in the champion's tournament to be at the helm of the special teams. 

In this meeting, the divine butterfly also revealed information about the ancient city buried beneath Pushpam. It was a shocking revelation to most. They never expected something like that to exist in their land. Once again, reminding them that the world was bigger than they expected. 

Once the information was revealed, everyone wanted to jump in and explore the underground ancient city. The divine butterfly tribe happily received their enthusiasm with open hands.

Everyone was allowed to excavate the ancient city if they could without disturbing Pushpam's citizens. To do this, the divine butterfly tribe had other goals. By allowing the other great tribes to excavate the city, there will be an influx of mighty warriors coming to the city. And that will significantly increase the safety of the city. 

The other goal was the increase in business opportunities in the city. Pushpam will thrive and grow even after the attack, they thought. 

Like that, the meeting ended. 

The chiefs of small and large tribes were also informed about the meeting and their decisions. And the action of the divine butterfly tribe was about changing the world.

One month went by quickly. 

As suggested, the divine butterfly used the name of the white-robed man better than Alex could. They informed everyone and backed him up for his actions. With this backing, Alex was allowed to go anywhere he wanted in the nine regions of the central continent. 

Although his identity was kept hidden, he received respect from everyone he met. The golden pendant was worth more than he expected. 

However, the investigation that Alex did alone hit a wall. The evil organisation was cruel and decisive when it disposed of the trail leading to them. Many that interacted with them died mysteriously, leaving no room for Alex to do a follow-up investigation.

The central continent once again returned to a moment of peace. But everyone knew that this peace would not last for long. 

Alex returned home once he realised he had no more trail to follow.

Back home, the residence of the stone head tribe had changed immensely when he returned. With the money they gained from farming, they renovated the entire village they were living in.

Now, the village had already taken the shape of a town. New buildings that Alex never saw greeted him as he walked through the village. Some were made by merchants to accommodate the growing market of the stone head village.

The products that the stone head tribe farmed were increasing in demand with the wealthy. The traders had to move into this isolated region in the northern mountain to quickly purchase the products once they were available. They need to do so to gain the opportunity to profit by upselling the products. 

Traders were not the only people that migrated to the town of the Stone head tribe. Some adventurous souls also flocked to the city. They were visitors who aimed to enjoy their time and gain experience. 

It was more apt to call them an adventurous tourist. 

These tourists stayed in the town, explored nearby areas and spent all their hard-earned money there. The villagers were likewise busy while accommodating the people. This scene made Alex smile gleefully. 

He even occasionally saw people wearing white robes telling some stories to the kids that surrounded them. It was a happy scene that warmed Alex's heart.

Everything was going better than he expected.

Strolling by enjoying the view, he went towards the Mupan's house. It took a while for Alex to find the location of the Mupan's home. The village had changed enough for him to lose his way.

After a while, he reached a familiar building. The circular house with drawing on the walls. 

'Yes! That is it.' Alex recognised it with just a glance. 

Although it was renovated, he could identify the house with no problem. 

Alex quickly walked towards it and entered it.

"Hello, I am Back!" He called out, expecting to hear a reply. But he saw some people staring at him oddly. 

Currently, Alex was wearing his old and worn-out clothes. Besides his signature white robes, every one of his clothes had been tuned to a similar condition. To say the least, he didn't have anything else to wear. 

Due to the long days of travelling and teleportation, his hair could have been more tidy. With a look, anyone could mistake him for a beggar who hadn't bathed for days. And that was precisely what happened when he enthusiastically opened the door and jumped in.

"Hello." This time, Alex asked meekly. Although he was smart sometimes, he didn't realise his current condition. The fact that he couldn't get a hold of mirrors made it worse.

"Ah! Aren't you!" Suddenly, the old man that was present among the group finally exclaimed. He somehow recognised Alex through the camouflage that he wore.

"Yes." Pouting a little, Alex said. 

"Meru!"

"Yes."

"Come here and sit." The mupan swiftly stood up and walked towards Alex. He invited Alex to sit with them.

'I thought you were in some kind of meeting. Why are you suddenly inviting me to sit with you.'

"Am I disturbing you? Should I come another time?" Alex asked politely. He didn't want Mupan's guest to feel awkward. 

"No, No, No. Come sit here. Why are you suddenly acting sensible? Is it because of the young woman among our guests?" Mupan laughed out aloud.

'A young woman? Mupan has a knack for creating misunderstandings.' Alex didn't even notice the presence of the so-called woman. 

The guest of Mupan was wearing nice clothes. They looked like wealthy and important people.

"No." Alex simply stated as a reply to Mupan's question. He nonchalantly walked towards the guests and the table they were sitting near. Calmly, he took the seat near the Mupan.

Now, Alex could see the face of the guest. His eyes widened when he saw the person sitting there.

"Hello, Hidden Master." The kid called out with a smile. 

"Meena!"

"You remember me! I am happy to be remembered by the hidden master." The kid giggled happily after saying that.

'SHIT! Why is she here?' Alex thought in his mind. If Alex had to name the looniest person he had ever met, she could have ranked top in that. So, he was curious to know why she was here.

"Why are you here?" 

"To meet you. I was talking to Mupan about when we could meet you."

'Does this brat have some kind of sixth sense. She appeared as if she knew that I would return home.'

"Why do you want to meet me?"

"I am not the only one. My sister would also like to meet you to discuss something. I just came early to look around. She would come soon."

"Which sister of yours? The crazy one or the poker face?" Alex's words irked the bodyguards of Meena. His words were obviously disrespectful towards the ice phoenix tribe and their princesses. They wanted to teach the rude kid in front of them a lesson. 

"Ha ha…The crazy one." However, Meena didn't take offence to his words. She answered with a slight laugh.

Seeing this, the bodyguards stopped what they were about to do. They hid their discomfort and looked at Alex.

'Kalina is coming here? Why? What's there to discuss between us?'

"Are you mistaken about something? If she wanted to discuss business, she could have gone to Dhairya, presently in Blue gem city. She doesn't need to travel this far and meet with me." 

"Maybe it has nothing to do with business."

'Wouldn't that mean it is personal?' While Alex was thinking that, the gaze of the bodyguards sharpened. Their princess, the next leader of the ice phoenix tribe, had something personal to discuss with the rude brat before them. They were unwilling to believe that.

"Oh! Is that so." Alex stood up immediately. "We can talk about that later then. A chick is about to hatch. Or should I say a butterfly is about to complete its metamorphosis? Anyway, I am busy currently." Leaving behind these words, Alex promptly teleported away. 

He didn't want his last few brain cells to die by conversing with the oddity from the Ice Phoenix tribe.
