The Record of Orc Civilization

Moku opened his eyes and saw Luna who was watching him intently. Her furrowed brows and the hand placed on her chin made Luna's frozen expression look scary.

Moku knew this would happen and it was only a little respect in Luna's heart for him that prevented Luna from operating on Moku's body when his spirit was moving to the Mind Realm.

Seeing that Moku had opened his eyes again, for no apparent reason Luna nodded. For a moment Moku didn't understand what Luna meant by that nod, but he soon forgot about it because only people with the ability to read minds can know what was on Luna's mind right now.

Moku cleared his throat and diverted the awkward atmosphere "Luna, I've managed to get the materials you need" Moku showed Luna the plant seed in his hand.

Luna's frown disappeared, her eyes widened, and her pupils dilated. She was like a tiger that wanted to pounce on its prey. Moku wanted to get away from this crazy woman immediately but he restrained himself because what he said next would be very important.

"Luna, this plant seed is not a real plant so it's natural that you can't communicate with it. I suggest that if you hear any strange sounds from this plant seed you should just ignore it. Do you understand?" Moku didn't know what was going on when she started trying to communicate with this "plant seed".

​ However, from Luna's frozen expression, Moku knew that his warning was not being heard at all. He could only let out a long breath and wished Luna had a timid Bulan's trait. At least that way she could find a guinea pig for the dangerous research she was about to do.

"How does it grow?" said Luna while pointing at the plant seed in Moku's hand.

Moku himself forgot to ask Mak Lampir how to take care of this "plant seed", he really wanted to get out of that rotten and creepy-smelling room. But with his inner eye, Moku knows that this "plant seed" is like absorbing the negative energy around it. So there is a possibility that this "plant seed" food is negative energy.

"Luna, this is not a plant, so you don't need to water it or give it fertilizer. You just put it in a pot and leave it in a dark place" Moku tried to refine his hypothesis.

"Okay, then do we need to use all of these plant seeds to make the potion you asked for or just one part of the body?" asked Luna a second time.

Moku really wanted to scratch the back of his head at this moment, "Hmm... I guess you can just use the leaves. Maybe these leaves will grow in some time. Or you can experiment on your own, I just hope you don't destroy them because these plant seeds are the only ones that I have

Luna nodded but her eyes didn't even blink "Okay, then what's the name?"

Moku shook his head "I don't know.. Maybe you can give it your own name" said Moku.

Luna for the first time after Moku woke up closing her eyes, then she opened them again with real enthusiasm looking "Shall we name it Lacewing"

Moku flinched a little but he immediately nodded "Okay, it's up to you. When will you be able to finish the potion I asked for?" Moku asked.

Luna held her chin again. "Hmm... because all the basic ingredients are already there, I need to do some experimentation and testing. Maybe it will take me two weeks." said Luna.

"Alright, please prepare two potions for Boku and Goku." Moku got up from the bed and walked towards the carriage door. "See you later" Moku said as he got out of the carriage.

Luna just waved in response.

------

The air outside the carriage was already very cold and the scene that appeared in Moku's eyes was no longer a vast meadow but rather steep hills.

The monster caravan had exited Glittering Meadow and had arrived at the rest area that Moku had marked. After this, they had to do one more search to find the right place to build their new dwelling.

Moku hoped they wouldn't have to climb Wolf Slope Mountain and could find a good spot in one of the valleys at the foot of the mountain. It was time for them to choose where they would build the world's first monster kingdom.

A goblin came to see Moku, he was Joc, the same goblin who greeted Moku when he came home from the Mind Realm the last time.

"Joc, how is Hoddurt?" Moku asked.

After the battle with the five mages, Hoddurt's condition did not improve. His body was getting weaker and weaker by the day and it was only his passion to see the first hobgoblin that kept him going.

"He's getting weaker, maybe he won't be with us again before we can find a new place to live." said Joc while taking a deep breath.

Moku nodded and said "You take it easy Joc, even though Hoddurt can't see the monster kingdom we will build but he will still live to see the first hobgoblin" Moku said with a smile on his lips.

Joc's eyes widened, and he turned his head to look at Moku so fast that it sounded like a crack was heard from his neck "You mean?"

"That's right Joc, I've found a way for goblins... no.. all monsters to evolve" said Moku with a bright smile.

Joc didn't answer, his body shook, and his lips parched.

Moku didn't wait for Joc's answer, he firmly ordered "Joc summon all the monsters to meet me in the middle of the camp I will announce this happy news to them directly"

"Yes Ku"

---------

While waiting for the monsters to come, Moku checked what was on the ring. He didn't need to stick the black jade to his forehead, Moku just activated the inner eye to check the contents inside.

The point is Mak Lampir divides the way to release the monster seal into two. That is by inserting a monster into a creature that has mana organs as written in the Vithaean Possession Art or vice versa as written in Mana Cream Cultivation.

Of course, to be able to perform the unsealing ritual of the monsters, you must meet several conditions first. These two methods also have different requirements, Vithaean Possession Art requires the practitioner to have strong mental strength while Mana Cream Cultivation requires the practitioner to have a strong body.

In Vithaean Possession Art, the monster "self" which Moku defines as a monster spirit will enter into a mutated animal or species whose mana organs have been sealed first. After successfully possessing the body, the monsters will fight against the original spirit that is in the body.

If they lose then they will be eaten by the original spirit which causes the original spirit to become stronger. Whereas if they win then they will occupy the position of the original spirit. However, the form of the spirit must match the shape of the body so that for a time they will not be able to move their own body.

For that, they are required to cultivate a new body and slowly take control of that new body. This process depends on how mentally strong the monster is.

Then the next step is to reopen mana organs that have been sealed. Most likely at this stage, the monsters will feel their bodies being torn apart due to mana trying to change the structure of the spirit so that it can adapt to their new body and the laws of the world.

If they failed then their spirit and the new body would explode. But if they succeed then they will be reborn as monsters that can control mana.

While the Mana Cream Cultivation process is simpler but no less dangerous.

Monsters will first be covered with cream made from the blood of mutated animals or mana species that have been dried so that they are shaped like jelly. Then their hearts will be connected by a liquid made from mana organs that have been melted.

After that their bodies will be put into a barrel that has been sealed according to Mana Cream Cultivation and then the barrel will be buried in the ground no less than 2 meters deep.

The monsters will feel like their bodies are burning from the inside because of the heart pumping the melted mana organ fluid throughout the body and their skin will feel burnt from the smear of dried blood cream. Therefore, it takes a strong body to bear the burden and the resilience to stay awake during the process.

If the monster fails then the sealed barrel will destroy its body and the ground above it will pile up its body. If they succeed then the seal of the barrel will be opened and they can come out of the heap of earth with their own strength.

Moku looked at these two extremely cruel ways with a calm heart. He stopped reading both books because the monsters had gathered.

Their eyes lit up waiting for Moku to fulfill his promise.

The promise to make them evolve.
