CHAPTER 392

Andrew's words once again surprised everyone, and Oliver, who was already on edge, couldn't do anything but shake his head and intervene. He didn't know why Andrew was being so aggressive, but if things continued like this, it could end badly.Oliver knew of Fluffy's existence and Andrew's ability to let him take over his body and have great power, but he also knew that the consequences of using that power would not be simple.

Although they could destroy everything here, Andrew would not be able to use that power again in a short time, and with 52 demigods in the forest, it would be easy to eliminate them sometime later, so he had to do something.

"My lady, excuse my young master's words. It seems that he is a little tired from everything that happened, he really doesn't want to offend you", Oliver said apologetically, looking at the old woman.

Unexpectedly, the old lady was not upset, nor did she take Oliver's words seriously. She was looking at Andrew seriously and out of nowhere she said, "It seems like your words are not empty, I wonder why I feel that way."

The old woman paused for a moment and continued, "Kid, I still think that if you use whatever you are hiding, you will still die." Andrew smiled at the old woman's keen insight.

It is true that, if Fluffy took control of his body, escaping from this small village would not be difficult. Even defeating everyone here would be a walk in the park, but when he couldn't use this ability, it would be the same as a fish on a cutting board.

"Granny's intuition is correct. Unfortunately, if you push me you won't live long enough to see me die," Andrew said keeping up the cocky act of him. Since he had reached this moment, he could not turn back.

Sansa, Zany, and Oliver remained silent, not wanting to interrupt Andrew and the old woman's conversation. Oliver, who had previously tried to mediate, no longer had that thought, because he knew that it was no longer possible.

However, to his surprise, the old woman did not attack, nor did she get angry. Letting out a small laugh the old woman said as she disappeared, "If you really have that ability, there should be no problem convincing the tribal elders to let you take Zany if you win the engagement battle."

Once the old woman was gone, everyone present could breathe a sigh of relief and Sansa said, "You really are something. I have never seen anyone speak to the old superior like that."

"Well, I understand why, that Granny is very powerful," Andrew answered truthfully, making Zany ask, "And you still challenged her?", to which Andrew replied with a smile, "I was just being sincere."

"Do you really think you can defeat the old superior?" Sansa asked incredulously and Andrew replied again, "As I said, in a battle of life or death I am sure of winning, but let's not talk about that, better tell me, who are the ones coming to participate in the engagement battle?"

Sansa and Zany wanted to continue asking, since Andrew had aroused their curiosity, but seeing that he did not want to talk about the subject, they did not press and began to tell him who would participate in the competition.

Apparently, some human nobles from the kingdom of Tampilla and the empire of Cannaris were coming, but they were not sure what their status was in those lands, since they were not in charge of the invitations.

Some elves from the Cannaris empire and beastmen from the grassland of the same empire would also come. They had also invited some desert barbarians, but being so far away, it was not known if they would participate.

Apart from the Amazon men in this forest, there were also some special guests like Andrew, which means, they had been invited directly by the Amazon villages on their own initiative because they wanted the girls of their village to marry them.

After all this conversation, Sansa invited them to eat, so they stayed at her house until dinner was ready. Unexpectedly, it was a very balanced and delicious meal.

Since Andrew and Oliver had nowhere to stay, they were accommodated by Sansa in Zany's house, while she came to sleep with her. Although Zany had accepted Andrew as her husband, she wouldn't let him slide into her bed before winning the engagement battle.

Andrew and Oliver didn't worry about it, but they still kept their guard up while they slept. To be more exact, Oliver did not sleep and stood guard all night. After all, he is Andrew's guardian and for a person of his level, going a few days without eating and sleeping was not difficult.

The night passed quickly and the next day arrived. Since the black forest was covered with tall trees, the sun's rays were scarce and it was difficult to tell when it was day and night.

Andrew and Oliver stayed in the village in the company of Zany and Sansa most of the time waiting for the engagement battle that would take place in the sacred land of the Amazons in 15 days.

This delayed Andrew's plans quite a bit and since he couldn't communicate with his wives he was a little worried. He knew his wives would worry about him, but there was nothing he could do. This was one of the problems of travel in this world.

Since they didn't have much to do, Andrew dedicated himself to training with Oliver to improve his strength and combat technique. Zany usually accompanied them, although she just stood on the sidelines and watched them train.

Several of the villagers also looked at them from time to time, but most of them were confused, because they could see that Andrew was not very strong, which made them wonder why Zany had chosen him.

Many of them were more inclined to have Oliver be their partner since they could see that he was very strong and still young. What they didn't know was that, although Oliver looked young, his outward appearance was not the reality of his age, making him unfit to participate in the engagement battle.

Despite all these doubts, no one said anything, because the Amazons greatly respected the decision of others when it came to choosing a partner. In addition to training, Andrew asked Zany to teach him how to move in the forest and visit many exotic places in the black forest.

Although he did not learn to move like an Amazon, it did improve his mobility in the forest. There weren't many exotic places to visit in the forest that weren't dangerous either, so they didn't go to many places.

Still, those 15 days were fun and they both got to know each other better and get closer to each other. They already seemed like an engaged couple, but Sansa was always around to prevent something that shouldn't happen from happening.

Andrew knew what Sansa was doing by always staying close to them and he couldn't blame her. He could only imagine the problems it would cause if he jumped into bed with Zany before getting her hand legitimately.

He didn't want trouble, so he refrained from doing something like that, but he had to admit that it was difficult. Amazons wear clothes that are too revealing and Zany is a beauty on the level of his wives, so it took a lot of willpower not to seduce her.

The 15 days had passed and the engagement battle would begin, so Andrew and Oliver, accompanied by the old woman, Sansa, and Zany, left the village towards the sacred land of the Amazons.

This so-called sacred land was in the heart of the forest, where there was a strange meadow among the trees. This might be the only place in the black forest where sunlight could enter without difficulty apart from the commercial road.

The meadow was not very extensive, perhaps about 50 square meters, which made it very unusual since the grass did not grow much. Upon arrival, many people were already present, most of them Amazons, but there were also some elves, beastmen, and humans.

Apparently, the barbarians had not come and it was not surprising, since the desert was quite far away, so it was not likely that the barbarians came just to compete for a wife when there were many women of their kind nearby to choose from.

Upon arrival, the old woman looked at Andrew and Oliver and said, "Stay here, we will go report Zany's hunt." Andrew and Oliver nodded and stayed where they were, while the 3 women walked to the center of the small meadow.

There were several elderly Amazons there, some middle-aged and some young. Andrew immediately understood that they were the tribal elders, the chiefs of the different tribes, and the girls who would present their hunt and be eligible for the engagement battle.

What surprised Andrew was that, among that entire group, there was not a single man. He knew that men were rare among the Amazons, but he never expected it to the level that any of them would be in a position of power.

Andrew was observing the peculiar group of women, when Oliver said, "To think that the black forest has this strength. Now I understand why they managed to claim sovereignty over the forest while being surrounded by two large countries."

Andrew didn't say anything to the comment, he just nodded his head in agreement. The power of the Amazons was not weak at all, in fact, Andrew was almost convinced that they were stronger than the elves in the forest of the Cannaris empire.

When the old women, Sansa and Zany arrived at the center of the meadow, another of the old women looked at them and with a smile said, "Bita, I thought you wouldn't come," to which the old woman replied, "You wish I would not, Aris."

Seeing the two old women exchange words, everyone smiled bitterly, because they knew that these two women did not get along well. To be more exact, the old woman named Aris always had a rivalry with old woman Bita, but since she could never beat her, she always tries to annoy her in other ways.
