Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats

Chapter 157 Joining The Familia

Shin was right, the chief wasn't actually scheming anything.

He had something else to discuss and that was why he had called Shin away from others.

Well, more than discuss, it was something he forced Shin to do and that was – include them in their familia.

He knelt on the ground all of a sudden while bowing as if his head nearly touching the ground.

"What are you-", Shin was surprised by the sudden moment that the elf displayed.

"Please!"

"Please include us in your familia!", he asked.

"Huh?"

Shin was surprised to hear that. It was not long since the familia was formed and the elves had already become aware of it!

'How did they come to know about that?', Shin asked himself.

'Ding'

[ The familia got registered in the rankings of the World and is stored in the World Stone ]

'I know that, but how did the elves come to know about it?'

'Ding'

[ Top 100 familia and clan names can be seen directly in the crest which is connected to the World Stone ]

[ Elves, Fairies, and Dragons are the only race that can hear all the familias and clans ]

'Wait a second, there are rankings not only for familias, but also for clans?'

'And all of them gets registered in the World Stone?'

[ Affirmative ]

Now Shin realized how the elves had heard and how the ranking was mentioned.

Though, he still knew not how to raise the rank of his familia. He didn't have to think about that at the moment anyway.

The issue was totally different, the chief of the Arb elves tribe was actually asking to enter Shin's familia.

"Uh, I don't think that is possible." – was what Shin said.

Actually having more numbers would be helpful, especially when it is the elves.

So he would definitely not reject that on a whim. There was a solid reason for which he rejected.

"Don't you already belong to a familia?"

"Are you sure you want to break the lineage of your ancestors and join us?"

"And I'm sure that you are the only one who has decided that…"

"What about others?"

"Won't this lead to a conflict?", Shin asked.

Each point that he made was legit.

"…", the chief was speechless after hearing that.

'Don't tell me you really didn't think about that.', Shin gave a weird stare after seeing the chief panicking and thinking.

"Ah, then why don't we join your clan?", he asked.

"Huh?"- Shin was surprised when he heard that.

"A clan you say…", Shin started to think about it.

"Yes…"

"With that, not only will we retain our original familia, we will be able to be under you."

The elf was not wrong, a Clan was something that could have a different familia within it.

Though, most of the time they would try to avoid that since that could create conflicts.

For example, a clan with a familia belonging to rabbits and a familia belonging to tigers would be a bad combination since they would be hostile or cautious of each other all the time.

Shin was a bit hesitant and wanted others' opinions especially that of Kaily and Terran since they might have some experience regarding this.

But at the moment, he couldn't just go away without actually replying or maybe he could, but for him, it didn't seem right.

"Why are you so fixated on joining us anyway?", Shin asked.

Yes, it simply didn't make sense at all, why would the kind and prideful elves who had been living in the forest for ages decide to join Shin whom they didn't even know?

It was suspicious and Shin had the right to ask questions regarding the matter.

"…"

"This is a secret but…"

"Our Guardian asked us to do that…"

"Huh? Guardian?"

"Yes.", the chief nodded his head.

'This is getting ridiculous…'

'Is some new sh*t going to start now?'

"Our guardian visited me in my dreams yesterday and asked me to persuade you to let us join you…", the chief said.

"…"

"A dream!?"

"You really thought about joining us because of some random dream?", Shin asked.

"I'm sorry but it wasn't a random dream…"

"Our Guardian…"

"Our protector…"

"Our God – His highness Elvion really came to my dream and told me about this.", the chief had a serious expression on his face.

"…"

'Did he just say Elvion?', Shin was surprised to hear that name from the chief's mouth.

Well, since he gave enough prefix and respect before reciting the name, it was fine.

However, the matter was really pressing.

'Why would he tell them to do that?', Shin asked himself.

"…"

While Shin was confused, the chief expected an answer from him.

He knew that bowing in front of others might hurt his own position and pride so he called Shin to the side and spoke this matter.

'Did he do because of my ambition?', Shin asked himself.

However, after thinking carefully, he realized that no Celestial would bother with such trivial matters.

'Looks like he has some plans of his own.', Shin concluded.

'It ain't a bad deal but…' – yes, there were some things that Shin had to think about before agreeing to their request.

"Before I let you join us, I will have you answer a few questions for me.", Shin basically ordered the chief to answer questions instead of asking or pleading.

"Y-yes!", he replied instantly.

"If you were to join me, that means that I will be the leader…"

"So will your people praise me?", Shin asked.

"…"

The chief paused for a second after hearing that.

He averted his gazes because he wasn't sure about that.

Why would the elves praise someone who wasn't of their own race, to begin with?

They had no idea about Shin's power too so yes, they wouldn't agree to do that.

He didn't answer directly and remained quiet but that silence was more than enough to answer his question.

"If I become your leader, then you would have to follow all my orders."

"That way, if I were to order you to fight Elvion, then will you back out?"

"…"

The chief suddenly raised his head and looked at Shin with a surprised expression.

His expressions were clearly saying that he couldn't do something like that. Of course, he remained quiet.

"Sigh…"

"And despite all these, you still want to join us?", Shin was a bit frustrated.

He knew the answers to these questions and asked only to test him – he was right, the elves had no real intention to join him.

The chief just wanted to do what their so-called god – the celestial asked them to do.

'Shin, think carefully…'

'Such a golden opportunity wouldn't come so easily…'- his inner thoughts were telling him to think about this again.

'I was able to form a familia, the next is a clan…'

'Then a base town leading to the formation of a Kingdom…' – although the work was a lot, he had to think carefully.

"Hmm…"

"I will give you a day's time…"

"Discuss with your group and plan properly."

"Only after that will I consider anything…"

"For now, I have things to do."

Right after saying that, Shin turned back and walked back to the place from where he had been asked for a chatter.

Of course, Terran, Kaily, and Alira, all of them were still there. This included the same female elf who had earlier drawn a map for Shin and had accompanied them halfway.

The elf chief came back just after Shin ade his appearance and said, "They are our guests for today."

"Treat them well." – was what he said which surprised not only all the elves but also surprised Shin at the same time.

In any case, the elves had to obey what the chief decided.

They immediately withdrew the spears which they were initially pointing at Shin's team.

After that, they lead the way to their homes.

Since they lived in tree houses, the Sin familia couldn't climb all the way up.

That was why they decided to provide them with some food and drinking items since they didn't need any shelter to stay other than the trees.

Mo was also present there and was eagerly waiting for the Reverse Potion.

He said, "Did you bring the Reverse potion?"

His eyes seemed passionate and sparkly.

"Well, I didn't but-"

And even before Shin could finish what he was saying, Mo said, "You didn't bring…?"

"Why?"

"Did you forget the route?"

"What happened?" – he had tons of concerns while his eyes started to lose the glow and sparkles.

"Ah, nothing peculiar happened…"

"Then…?", he had his doubts because this greatly concerned him after all.

He wanted to be free and for that, he definitely needed the potion, but he couldn't find anyone to get it for him since he could go.

"Haha, why are you making such an expression?"

"Instead of the potion, I brought the witch along!" – was what Shin said.

"What?", at first Mo failed to understand what Shin said.

But when he repeated himself, Mo finally understood.

"Where?"

"Where is she!?", he asked with a raised tone.

Mo didn't care about anything else, all he wanted was to meet the witch and get the reverse potion.

Well, his desire to return his original form had increased when Shin promised him earlier so it was understandable.

However, Shin still had many doubts regarding these matters.

'If it was a curse, then couldn't I have removed it?', he asked himself and of course, he could have done that, but the situation didn't go that way.

It wasn't bad since he got two more members in his team and found the last clue too, so it was fine.

"…"
