Chapter 1257: Helping Aiwa

Aiwa is currently meditating as she controlled the ice elemental energy. Small needles started forming around her as she stacked it on a large sculpture that was completely made up of these ice needles and the only thing that is holding this sculpture is her ice elemental energy.

Once her concentration breaks, Sam is sure as hell that it would collapse, and even now it is barely holding.

He sat a bit away from her as he looked at the sculpture. He is still wearing the mask and the black cloak as he tweaked with the peg leg.

He is just adding some touches so that he wouldn’t feel that irritating sense on the stump.

*knock* *knock*

*crash*

A knock on the door was heard at that time and then the sculpture crashed instantly. That is the limit of her concentration.

She looked at Sam awkwardly and then at the door with a grudging expression.

"This better be good. Otherwise, someone is going to get it."

She went in and opened it.

"Miss Aiwa, your master is calling you. Your next task has been assigned. Please visit him as soon as possible."

It is an attendant from the Frost leaf.

"I will be back in a while." She yelled at Sam and went away. After an hour, she came back and looked a lot sulky.

"What happened?" Sam asked.

"My next task. It arrived. I need to catch a Snow Chameleon and I need to catch it alive. Who wants to catch a snow chameleon, alive or dead? It doesn’t even taste good. The meat of that chameleon sucks."

Sam was surprised with her outrage. The more time he spent with her, the more thought she like a little teenage girl who does everything on a whim.

"Snow Chameleon? You have those beasts here?"

"Yes."

"Then why did you guys even bother going after those ice bears?"

"What are you even talking about?"

"Snow Chameleons love Ice bear meat. They feast on them a lot. For some reason, the big bad bear is prey here and this small glacial reptile is actually a predator."

"I don’t know that. I didn’t even find that in the library when I was studying the ice bears. Are you bullshitting me old man?"

Sam didn’t even what to reply to that.

"Of course I did. Just what kind of black magic did you use to do it? Cause I don’t believe that such a stupid trick works."

"It is not stupid. It is called being clever and knowledgeable. I know a lot of information about beasts and can take advantage of that easily. So, a thank you would be better."

Aiwa patted Sam on the back as she said with a grin.

"Of course, of course. I am really grateful. With this gratitude, I am taking you in my guard without any test, alright? Now, come on smile."

Sam didn’t even know what to do at that moment. He didn’t even feel this disheartened when his soul was stuck in the body of a cripple and he was thrown into some kind of snow plain. But now he did.

He couldn’t help but sigh.

"Okay, okay. Are you smiling or not? Why don’t you remove that mask and show me?"

She almost went as far as touching the mask, but Sam stopped her and said.

"Don’t touch the mask."

"Why? You are not that ugly. I already saw your face. Why would you hide that and have this creepy child molester mask on?"

"Don’t joke about molesting and I have my reasons. Don’t pry too much and get back to the next task."

"I wouldn’t be able to get to the next task immediately. They are making me wait again, but this time I caused a ruckus, they couldn’t make me wait for too long, they have to give the result by night."

"Okay, then go and rest."

That night Aiwa was contacted once again and she got the next task. This one also had something to do with the beasts. She doesn’t know exactly why every task this year was related to the beasts, but she couldn’t care less.

She ran back to the house and placed the task in front of Sam.

"Frost Bees? Really? You have those things too?"

Sam asked in surprise. Neither Bees, nor chameleons are creatures suitable to live in these extremely cold environments in normal cases, but there are always exceptions. Snow chameleons and the Frost Bees are extremely rare exceptions.

But having two exceptions in one area is something even he who roamed around dozens of realms rare.

"Are you going to help me or not? You can get surprised later."

"Of course, I can help you, but it would take a bit of effort on your part. I don’t believe you are focused enough."

"I am focused enough alright, don’t treat me like I am a dumb brute."

"But you are one."

Aiwa didn’t even know what to say for a second. But Sam carefully explained his plan to her and he even went as far as explaining a couple of times.

Aiwa was ecstatic as went out and came back the next morning with a grin on her face.
