Temporal Pearls

Chapter 88: Seth In Cuffs

Ding!

The timer he put on the Oven clicked, Seth, walked over and opened it. He checked the clay Jug that was inside and he sighed with a dejected look. It was a failure. Nonetheless, he took it out and let it cool down before he glazed it appropriately with colours and left it in the workshop before he left for home.

On their way, Anna asked him a lot of questions regarding Malinda and how he knew she could generate TE. Seth just grunted without telling her the fact that he can sensed the energy.

Later on, she continued to pester him to tell her, if he knew how to use the energy, and also what assignment Raaz gave him.

"I can't tell you everything. Raaz warned me that at this stage this shouldn't be happening. If it is found out that someone can make it, then they will become lab rats!" In the end, he convinced her to stop looking for it.

Anna nodded in understanding. She knew some of these things too but the way the information came was always vague

Sling!

Seth woke up in the game with a sigh and walked out of the Cottage. The wind still blew strong and from time to time there would be a pressure that was decent before it disappeared.

Seth looked at the building he spent time making with a smile. It was a large house he called Mansion, it has sections arranged as gardens and an excavated site where he called a swimming pool, this surrounding the main building but within the walls.

Inside the main building, there was a large hall and three doors that lead to different locations. All in all, there were five rooms. Then kitchen and toilet.

All he needed to do was to make a roof and put up windows and doors. Then also cement the ground floor which was still normal sand and hard ground.

Seth gathered the clay tile he was preparing. He first wet the ground and then applied wet clay on top and levelled them smoothly before he began to arrange the hard clay tiles.

The clay tiles were made of special clay that hardens like a stone when mixed with Minda fruit juice.

Seth came across it after he saw a lot of dark ash stones below the Minda tree. So, he decided to use the stone in the foundation. But the moment the stone touched the water, they became soft. Seth was surprised then because the clay stone really looked like it had 1100 durability.

At that time, Seth laments that if he had learned about the stone he would have used it to make the bricks he used. But there was no time, he needed to upgrade his cloak fast and leave the forest.

Seth experimented and found out that the moment he burns the stone, its durability decreases a bit but it will no longer be softened by water.

And that was how he made his tiles and now he was arranging them. After some hours he finished and then he began to tighten the rudimentary windows made up of wood and put them in their places.

All in all, to finish everything took him 5 hours.

He stood and admired his work with a smile. He grabbed a table and some chairs he made and arranged them in the hall. Then he grabbed Abuhe's Vulcan sculpture and put him facing the chairs. Then he also arranged some of the Guards' Sculptures.

He arranged the villagers he made outside the house in a way as if they were waiting for orders from the chief himself.

After that, Seth grabbed a wooden flank he took from the cottage and wrote a long note. He took another one and hung it on the entrance with his name.

~Chief Seth Enoch~

And then he went back and kneeled before Abuhe Vulcan Sculpture as if he was listening to something before he took his Attire that was on a table beside Abuhe Vulcan sculpture and wore them.

All this time Seth wasn't wearing the actual attire, it was a rag of leather he made from animals he kills.

Then, he came out of the mansion and looked at the villagers' sculptures that seemed to be staring at him. And then began to say.

"I stood before you, with a heavy heart for the weight that was given to me by the Chief Abuhe Vulcan. But before I say anything, I will read to you the Chief Verdict!"

Seth then began reading the note he wrote on the Wooden Plank.

"I, Abuhe Vulcan, announced Seth Enoch to be Noble of Living Root Forest. His action within the forest has brought a sign of intelligent life and its creativity, and as the only Resident of Living Root Forest and also Noble of Vulcan Town and Living Roots he is hereby announced as the Chief of this Place!"

Seth finished reading and then looked at the sculptures and said, "I, Seth Enoch, the chief of Enoch Town with its resident of Sculptures."

[Time to Log Out!]

The notification came in but he became very still and refused his mental faculty to agree to the logout

[Time to Log Out]

He stood there for some minute before the notification stopped blinking and then he commenced with a sigh. If he didn't still have his mind he would have been ejected.

"It didn't work!" Seth said with a dejected look. Seth expected there will be some change in the quest. He got this idea from a forum and also. he has a similar experience.

He sighed, activated his Aura Sight to trained it further and grabbed his sculpture knife and scraper and began to modify the closest sculpture.

With his mastery of the real world, his in-game talent also improved. Finished with the first one, he went to the next one, this continued until one hour left for forceful logout.

Every time he refused to log out the first time, he will get three to four hours. After that, he will be forcefully ejected.

He stood and checked his Exertion Points. remained one and it's enough for him to paint the ten Paintings before he blanked out.

This time Seth went to the hall and pushed out Abuhe Vulcan and all the sculptures he placed there to the clearing and then sat on his chair and arranged his painting materials and then began to paint. MVLeMpYr-original-content

Ten Paintings were copied and his mind was blank. Seth was so dejected that he didn't noticed the rudimentary house he made was improving with every sculpture he perfected.

Sling!

Seth readied to go to the Silva House and for the first time and he will be going alone. In normal times he will not be too anxious but because of how Sir Mathew Guards treated him and Joseph, he was now very nervous about how he will be treated.

Nonetheless, Seth entered Sapphire and set his destination there. He had already used his savings and bought a Portable Painting Stool and Canvas, similar to the ones that Lady Manuella lent him.

The disparity was apparent the moment he reached Class A streets, he was parked by a RoboCop car. He was forced to come out and the cop took his data and also scanned the tag Lady Manuella gave him.

Then she was also called to confirm if she gave it to him. After the long procedure, Silva's Family was also called to confirm if they were expecting him to come.

Seth sighed as he was handcuffed and then guided to the nearest police station and dumped in an office.

"Wait here!" The robot cop said before it left. The office was made of glass and he could see other people outside in cubicles checking papers and documents on their tabs.

Criminals were sitting in cuffs at a long table facing a fat cop. But by their arrogance and appearance, they aren't like him who was from a low family.

Seth sighed as he looked at the electronic handcuff that was still binding him. Now that he was sitting, the cuffs were tethered to the table before him which means he can't leave on his own.

Suddenly, a man came in. "Seth Enoch!" He called out as he read through the smart paper. It was a paper device that can store limited information and it can be locked and only one that the password can read.

"Yes," Seth answered.

"Sorry for the treatment! It is also part of the protocol to keep citizens safe and healthy. You are going to undergo some medical checks and cleansing before we let you go!"

"Okay!" Seth said. 'Am I a carrier of pathogens or something!?' Seth thought.

"Good, follow me!" He guided Seth deeper into the building, still handcuffed, until they reached a room. The cuffs were removed and he was asked to remove his clothes and immersed himself into a pool of some medications.
