116 C115 Raw Emotion

The level of tension had risen by a hefty sum. Each one of the influential people staring at him while keeping quiet as they noticed the primal anger in the man's eyes. The look more of a wild beast than an actual intelligent animal.

"Woah!"

Bull had already moved behind his friend, placing a hand onto his shoulder as the man had calmed down with such a simple move. The frenzy and rage dying down in his eyes before a sigh escaped his lips.

"Please forgive my actions. It's a stressful week for me, and I tend to lose myself when I have no chance to respond to barrages of questions."

Azo stood up from the group as he moved to the corner of the room as he pressed his ring to summon the large door with almost no effort, no one paying much attention except for Bellingham who stared at the door with a slack jaw.

Within a few moments, the red-scaled man had pulled out a few crates and a barrel. Pulling open the lids as he showed off the contents to everyone as the three people.

Inside the crates were a bounty of food items. Corn, wheat, rice, potatoes and much much more. Everyone staring as Azo continued to start answering some questions.

"These items were made in Sanctuary. The town itself, blessed by our God who provides the area with endless sustenance and growth. Looking at the situation currently, we have enough growing food but not enough farmers, workers, builders and more to utilise it."

Pushing the crates over. Azo allowing them all to take them to taste and eat as he moved over to pull open the barrel. Inside crystal clear water that looked pure and perfect for consumption.

All three of the members pulling out items as they began to eat, the gnome being the most impressed as he dug into a second and then the third piece of corn.

"This is amazing. I could sell these well if you are willing to trade food and water with me. Food is in short supply always and with this high-quality food I'm sure we can do well."

As Zie continued to eat his eyes were drawn by another item placed near the barrel. It was a plank of wood which caught his eye. Quickly moving along as he took up the plank as his eyes burned brightly.

"I've never seen such a strong softwood timber!"

His hands moved across it like he was caressing a woman's body with a smooth and tender approach.

"The rich reddish brown colour with such a straight grain. This plank looks almost too good to be true. Is it easy to work with and how does it fair with construction?"

Each word with desire laced in as it looked like the gnome considered this object more like a woman with lust deep within his eyes as he wanted to know more.

"It's from a forest in our area. The trees are massive and even stick out of the basin we live in which gives it such an amazing look. I've never seen any trees like it around the world."

With a moment Zie sat back down in his chair, wood in one hand with the corn in the other. His eyes golden as he knew good deals when he saw them. While he was mainly a smuggler, he was previously a trader and had the same keen business sense when it came to this.

"Our God is named Nathan. His powers as far as I can see are Aqua, Fertility, Bow and some others. He has more capabilities than the typical Demigod it seems."

He decided to leave out some more important information. It was easier to keep out the fact that he was the All-Father because it seemed somewhat difficult to assume since the actual Creator God could fix everything with a flick of the wrist. He needed to speak to Nathan about that during a future point.

"Three powers. The All-Father may have heard out plight and sent another God to help fix our issues. It's smart to get everyone involved at this point since he may have to leave at some point."

Bellingham had finished one of the food items, impressed as he decided not to mention that each piece filled with magical energy. While the body usually never stored any magical energy it was different for food items and other such entities. Since the food became stored in his body, he had access to a quick bout of magical power if he needed.

"That is all fine and well Azo but what about our last question. How will you protect the people coming? One powerful man can't protect everyone as some guards will surely come after the people running away."

The demonic woman Zika said as the food sitting in front of her was left untouched, eyes staring at Azo as she asked her question to get some ground.

Just as the conversations began to heat up, the other two looking to Zika before turning back to Azo to see if the man could manage this question as well. A banging on the door as the owner of the bar came inside without permission.

"Listen. Sorry to interrupt but big news."

As he left leaving the door open as he was in a panic. Other patrons were rushing around as they grabbed stuff to go as the tension was high.

The group inside the room came out with confusion as Bull grabbed someone before asking.

"What is happening."

The poor woman he grabbed trying to get away in fear as she answered quickly.

"A God has appeared in the main district. Using some strange power has killed off the entire army and anyone who went against him. Giant scythes were killing anyone guilty as they screamed out confessions. He is walking along the road like a reaper of death!"

Each one was looking at each other as the final question became answered. The army would not pursue them if the God came in person and destroyed everyone in his way. No stupid fool would try to stand in the space of a pissed off God during a rampage of this scale.

Azo was looking to the three people, giving out a blunt question of his own as he knew time was short now.

"Any more stupid questions?"
