Chapter 135 Family

"Family?"

They were surprised. Family was a word rarely spoken by dungeon masters if there was no conflict. In the dungeon there were various monster races, they would be free to fight or prey on each other, unless there were provisions issued by the dungeon. For example, if there is a massive invasion by humans.

Another reason they could unite besides the order from the dungeon master was the existence of humans. They had a common enemy.

What surprised them was that the dungeon master brought children. They thought that the children were humans.

Goyo ventured to ask. "My lord, but they are humans. What do we want to do with them?"

The question sparked a smile on his face. "They are not humans. They are Homunculus."

"What?" Goyo and Adelia shocked in the same time.

The elves and dwarves seemed to have dumbfounded faces. They didn't think that those children were monsters. Even Adelia who was gathering information about them didn't expect it. The information she heard with reality was quite shocking.

This was enough to make Isaac interested. Not only humans were fooled by the appearance of the homunculus, but also monsters. Only the system could detect them. He was increasingly convinced that saving the homunculus children from Earl Xenovia was the right choice.

"No need, Goyo. Raising them is not your job."

At the dungeon master's words, Goyo and the other dwarves breathed a sigh of relief. There was no way Isaac would leave a task that required such care and affection to them. The dwarves had a very harsh disposition. Even dwarven children as young as 8 years old are given hammers to learn forging.

He was preparing the dwarves for another task.

Isaac looked at Adelia and her men. They quickly understood what the dungeon master was going to say next.

"Adelia, I want you and the other elves to teach these homunculus, about love. About how to form a family."

Without needing to ask, the High Elf bowed her head. "It is an honor to have this task, my lord."

The elves had been used to humans since the Elven Village was established. They are familiar with the human character. Surely taking care of the homunculus children would not be much different, considering they had the same characteristics. Besides, children were like a blank canvas, ready to be painted with anything. Raising them was no big deal.

That's what Adelia thought.

But she didn't know about Isaac's mind.

"Homunculus are a little different from humans. They have an average lifespan of three to six months. It depends on their physical strength."

The golden-haired High Elf looked curious. "Then, they will die in a few months? Before they reach adulthood?"

She looked at the homunculus children. Compassion could be seen in her eyes.

Isaac held back a smile, trying not to laugh.

"They won't die as children. They'll be teenagers in a few weeks."

Hearing the explanation from her master, Adelia blushed. At the same time, this raised a new question.

"Like I said, I want you to help them build a family. To help them create a brood of offspring. After raising them, I want some of you to marry them."

"Damn?!" The dwarves said it simultaneously. While the elves were so shocked to hear it that they were speechless.

Adelia really looked like a dazed person. The female high elf still couldn't believe what she had just heard.

"Apologize,my lord. I may not have been paying attention. You want us elves to marry..." Her eyes fell on the innocent-looking homunculus children. "...them."

"Yes, after they grow up," the dungeon master replied. His lips curved widely.

This was Isaac's plan. He wanted to interbreed elves and homunculus.

The physical development of homunculus was very fast, as was their age. However, they had above-average physical strength. They could reproduce quickly, but their offspring were very weak.

Meanwhile, elves had a long lifespan and slow physical development. Their bodies were quite fragile like ordinary humans, but the mana in their bodies was like a vast ocean.

From long-lived elves and homunculus with strong physical strength, Isaac tried to create a new hybrid race. A superior race.

Some elves made strange faces. This decision was quite difficult for them. Adelia as their leader also felt that this was too much. Nevertheless, the dungeon master's orders were absolute. The system made them obey.

They would follow Isaac's orders no matter what.

"We are ready to carry it out, my lord," said Adelia with her head bowed. Her face was covered in cold sweat. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

Isaac snapped his fingers. Kirnish along with the homunculus children quickly approached their master.

"Show them their place to stay. When you're done, hurry back to your dungeon."

"Yes, my lord," replied the servant.

Isaac's gaze fell on Adelia. "You and your men go with them. Kirnish will explain everything, after escorting them, you return to the village immediately."

After that, Kirnish escorted the group of homunculus and elves into one of the cave holes. There, Isaac had previously built a habitable place.

The dwarves saw their departure with a sour look on their faces. For some reason they felt unlucky.

"Why do you look disappointed?"

Upon hearing the master's words, the dwarves gasped. Pippi clicked her tongue at their undisciplined behavior.

"No, Lord Isaac, we can't wait for our work. Hehe..."

"All is well, my lord."

"That's right, we're not disappointed that we're not the ones getting married."

The dwarves made grimacing faces while stroking their heads. While Goyo seemed to be clenching his fists, his face looked red from seeing the behavior of his men in front of the dungeon master.

"You want to marry a homunculus?"

His question took them by surprise.

"No! Of course not! We thought we were going to be married off to the elves." One of the dwarves spontaneously said.

"Asshole! You son of bitches! You're embarrassing me! You'd better shut your mouths!"

Finally, Goyo could not contain his anger. The dwarves fell silent. Then the dwarf chief quickly put on a grimacing face and apologized to the dungeon master. Meanwhile, Isaac himself did not comment.

"Pathetic," Pippi muttered.

Goyo heard the little girl's sarcasm, she could only keep her mouth shut. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

Isaac took a deep breath.

"I gathered you here for one task. That is to build an incubator."

The dwarves' faces, which had been awkward, now turned curious. Building an incubator could be done by Isaac or his assistants, but if the master needed their help, then this incubator was not for random eggs.

Isaac accessed his inventory, and pulled out an egg with a transparent shell the size of a human torso. Inside was a flickering red light.

The dwarves squinted at the egg. Pippi also seemed interested.

"This is a Caecilian egg. It requires humid air and warm conditions to hatch. One of these could wipe out an entire dungeon floor."

Instantly the dwarves opened their eyes wide. Their lips pursed in shock.

Goyo gulped. "So, my lord wants to hatch that dangerous monster. In this dungeon?"

Isaac nodded. "Do I have to say it again? As soon as possible."

Isaac then took out a blueprint from his inventory and handed it to Goyo. The bearded dwarf opened it, then his eyes narrowed as he saw the incubator design. The other dwarves were intrigued, and they surrounded the chief on tiptoe, trying to see the design.

"How is it?" Isaac asked.

"Hm, this design is too complicated. Not to mention having to give buff effects. This should take at least a month or a month and a half."

Of course, the answer given by Goyo did not satisfy Isaac.

"Make it faster. Three weeks."

"EH!?"

The dwarves were shocked at the same time. They began to grumble. Goyo just bit his lower lip.

"Hey! You lazy bastards! This is an order from your master. You should be grateful to be allowed to stay here." Pippi snapped at them. The little girl looked grumpy. She disliked complaining monsters the most.

Of course, Isaac had expected it. The dwarves were different from the elves who always obeyed and carried out tasks to the best of their ability.

"Take it easy. You want to marry other than a female dwarf, right? I'll find you female monsters who are more beautiful than elves."

Instantly their faces changed drastically. Including Goyo.

"Seriously, Lord?"

"It's not like before, is it? We're really going to marry another monster?"

"It's not a lie, is it?"

Isaac nodded.

Pippi was angry that they doubted the dungeon master's word. The dwarves were traumatized by the incident of building the workshop a few months ago.

Goyo snorted. "Alright! We'll do it quickly. We won't fail this time."

"Yeah!"

The dwarves shouted in unison. They then quickly picked up their work tools.

Isaac smiled with satisfaction.
