Chapter 31：Simulating the nineteenth year

[Late at night, you entered the room of the Nightingale and gave her something she had always wanted.]

[The next day, the Nightingale walked out of the room, holding your arm tenderly. Her subordinates couldn't believe their eyes, astonished that someone could tame the Nightingale.]

[In the same year, you briefly left the Ghost Clan and found your own previous tribe. The current tribal leader was Gobura, and he was overjoyed to see you after a long time. With your persuasion, they successfully joined your territory.]

[In the thirteenth year, your power became stronger, but you faced trouble. As a new leader, you obtained your exclusive territory, which caused resentment among many members of the Ghost Clan. T

hey often targeted your subordinates, slowing down the development of your territory. You chose to silently endure and wait for the right moment to counterattack.]

[In the eighteenth year, your power progressed rapidly. You were now able to hold your ground against weaker lord-level creatures.

In reality, your actual strength had reached the mid-level of lord-level creatures. Your incredible combat power was attributed to your skills.

Your skill proficiency was terrifying, surpassing most of the Ghost Clan and lord-level creatures.]

[Due to your rapid growth, those who used to trouble you gradually disappeared. Some even came to curry favor with you. Although you had the ability to counterattack, you chose to continue enduring.]

[In the same year, you left the Warcraft Forest and went to the Kona Plains, successfully rescuing Kaina. However, your terrifying appearance scared everyone except Kaina. Seeing Kaina's terrified face, you softly said, "You must be a half-elf, not a pure human."]

[Kaina looked at you in disbelief. Though she had half-elf blood, she had always disguised herself and didn't expect anyone to notice. "It seems I guessed right. You are indeed a half-elf. Come with me, and I will take you to a place where you can live happily in the human world."]

[Hearing your words, Kaina hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed to go with you to the Warcraft Forest. "I... understand. You saved my life, so I'll listen to whatever you say," Kaina replied with some trepidation.]

[Subsequently, you returned to the Warcraft Forest with Kaina and arrived at your territory.]

[After bringing Kaina to your territory, you began to wonder how to tell the Nightingale about this matter, as you would eventually marry Kaina.

Surprisingly, the Nightingale discovered Kaina's arrival but wasn't very angry. She just took you to a room and calmly said, "You can have other partners if you want, but I want you to promise that I will always be your top priority."]

[You readily agreed to the Nightingale's request without much consideration. You positioned Kaina by your side as your personal secretary.]

[Sharing the same room, Kaina nervously looked at her surroundings. She had never imagined that there could be such luxurious buildings in the Warcraft Forest.

On the way here, the Ghost Clan members and even some powerful Warcraft creatures showed great respect to you.

This made Kaina more cautious. She couldn't understand why a high-level creature like you would appear in a place like the Kona Plains and save someone as insignificant as her.]

[As you sat at your desk reading a book, you noticed Kaina's nervousness.

However, you didn't deliberately tell her not to be nervous or treat this place like her own home. You continued with your usual tasks, just with an additional personal secretary to help with small things.]

["Kaina, bring me the seventh book from the third row on the second bookshelf from the left," you ordered.]

[Upon hearing your command, Kaina quickly stood up and fetched the book you wanted.

As she handed it to you, she noticed the book was written in the language of humans, which surprised her.

She wondered why a monster like you would be studying human knowledge, but she dared not ask.

Without being asked, you naturally didn't explain.

As the simulated version of yourself, you knew that your memories might be fully inherited by the real you outside.

So, you strove to learn the knowledge of this world and expand your expertise.]

[In the nineteenth year, Kaina had completely adapted to life in your territory. She often glanced at you and had fallen in love with you. You decided to find an opportunity to clarify the relationship between the two of you.]

[One night, as you watched Kaina obediently from a distance, you said, "Kaina, I heard that you have been studying alchemy. Are you planning to become an alchemist?"]

["Yes, Lord Goburo, becoming an alchemist has been my dream since childhood."]

["When you have free time and nothing to do, you can read books about alchemy here, and learn. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me.

I also have some knowledge in alchemy.

By the way, did you bring any books about alchemy that you usually read? I can take a look at them."

Upon hearing your words, Kaina was momentarily stunned, and then nodded quickly, "Oh, sure, I'll get them right away."]

[Kaina felt her heart pounding. Although she had been here for a year, she had never had such close contact with you.

She had always watched you from afar, sensing that you were different from other creatures.

Other creatures were crude and brutal, but you were elegant and loved learning.

Most of the time, you were either reading or practicing, and you had a clear sense of rewards and punishments.

You treated others with respect, and she had never seen a demon like you before.]

[Nervously, she came to your side, and you pulled out a chair and said, "Sit."]

[Kaina looked at the chair that was almost touching you, and sat down next to you with a slight tremble.

But you only earnestly explained the knowledge of alchemy, and Kaina quickly immersed herself in the ocean of knowledge.

However, at the end, you said to Kaina, "If you can master this book within a week, I can give you a reward.

Is there anything you want?"]

[Kaina, who had calmed down due to studying, heard your words and her heart started pounding again.

"A reward? Can it be anything?"]
