BXBX NOVEL Chapter 125 Governor (Mathias)
"My lady, i don't think both systems can co-exist in one body" H'tia tried to discourage her new crazy idea
"Doesn't matter, anyway how do i look" Alex said as she stepped out of the small dressing space in a new dress
"No, it has to say that you are lord of a territory, that looks dull" H'tia replied almost immediately
"Damn… now i regret playing dress up with you" Alex complained at H'tia's harsh words as she returned to the dressing area to try other things.
Unlike the other governors, she had things much more easier since the High Orcs weren't really a complicated race, they simply ate when needed, fought/ trained, and slept.
All she had to do was send out the newbie team every week to not only level up but also to catch some food for the territory. It helped to kill two birds with one stone.
The Newbies that go along with H'tia get to gain experience safely and level up while also gathering food for the territory from what they had killed.
As the two spent their time, going through dress after dress, the high orcs sorted out the war pig as they got it ready for preservation.
Despite their numbers and high appetite, a war pig was too big for all of them hence after they cleaned it thoroughly they began cutting into smaller but large pieces for smoking and storage.

"Hmm, only a few meters more" a young man who seemed to be in his teen years said as he began setting up a small pile of rocks on the spot he stood.
The young man stood up as a large body of water come into view, the small pile of rocks was set up to mark the end of his territory.
He was standing at the edge of a cliff that allowed him to overlook the ocean below like some badass character from fiction.
However, unlike those fictional characters, a clear look of worry could be seen on his face.
His territory was slowly creeping into the ocean!
Normally this wouldn't be a thing of worry or frustration as it was a good thing for the kingdom however, due to the target of coverage being the ocean.
A lot of problems surfaced, He had stayed here for a month and some weeks but never in that time had he ever come across any sea creature even regular fish from the ocean.
Normally this would be a good thing but it was impossible for the area around the cliff to be completely devoid of life.
The ocean is known to be home to number of species even greater than land which made such a situation incredibly suspicious.
"My lord, the car has arrived" a cold voice called out as the young man turned around to see an automaton standing behind him.
The automatons were the only reason he had yet to become a fallen lord. Their strength made him confident enough to even stand this close to the edge of the cliff.
He wasn't worried about falling to his death, that was impossible even without their help. He was strong enough to survive such a fall with minimal injuries on his own.
However, he was afraid of standing this close to the cliff edge because he felt that there was a creature that lived with the area either around or below the cliff edge.
If there was anything he knew about animals, it was that they would only keep out of a place if they deem it dangerous enough.
The current below wasn't high enough to make them worry since even normal fish can on earth could handle such tides so that only leaves the existence of a creature living within the area.
It couldn't be him nor could it be the Automatons, they arrived later on so there was no way the sea creatures dodged because of them.
"I'm on my way" He replied as he gave the ocean a last look before turning his back on it to go back into his territory
Though the existence of such an unknown and powerful creature had once given him sleepless nights but with the existence of the Automatons.
He could have some peace of mind since it seemed as though the presence of the powerful automatons put the creature in check hence it had yet to attack.
As he left the cliff and walked into his territory which was located within the edge of some forest. He didn't know if he was part of the Aenon forest that his Majesty talked about.
However he did know he was in a forest too, his main castle was located in a large clearing just close by. Following the Automaton before him.
Soon he was standing before a familiar vehicle... an unexpected familiar vehicle.
"Isn't this a carriage, where's the horse?" He asked surprised by the appearance of the 'car'

The young man stood as helioked at the beautiful carriage that looked some what like a concept carriage art brought to life.
The 'car' clearly wasn't the conventional car he was familiar with instead it was a massive carriage that was designed in an incredible stylish manner.
[Are you the governor [Mathias]?] a male voice suddenly called out from the car
"Eh?" Mathias replied in shock as he moved away from the possessed vehicle in front of him.
[Based on your appearance, I can assume you are the governor. are you going with any of your attendees or are your troops non-sentient?]
The voice asked in a calm tone completely ignoring his shameful behaviour and he too immediately used the chance given to rebound as he reestablished his lordly aura
"Non-sentient, Fire ants however I will be going with an automaton as an attendee" Mathias replied
He couldn't bring the fire ants because they were as he had said non-sentient so they would be useless in the setting he was about it enter
however he felt it was necessary to have some attendant close to him hence he decided to being the automaton
[Let the Automaton come forward for Emblem branding] The voice said in its usual cold tone.
"Sure" Mathias replied despite his confusion.
With his confirmation given, the Automaton automatically began walking towards the carriage. As soon as it came in contact with the vehicle.
it body shone brightly however the light show ended quickly and soon, he was faced an Automaton which looked almost no different from the others
The only different was the massive symbol and writing that was now carved into chest of the Automaton. The symbol was simply a massive ant head.
He didn't feel the need to search for a deeper meaning to his symbol so he had simply used what he was more known for aka his ants.
Not that they were powerful or anything, they were only C-rank. it was just that after you have faced one, it was hard... incredibly hard for the image to leave your mind.
As for the mysterious words that was written into the side of the automaton. He could somehow make out the meaning despite not knowing what language it was
"Property of House [Mathias]" Mathias read out loud.
Mathias was his last name and this was used as his noble house name. His own name, Ionut, didn't exactly sound like something he would hear as a house name.
[May the Governor and his attendant please board the vehivle for departure] The voice said as Mathias gave a firm nod and immediately stepped into the carriage or car.
"Off we go" Mathias said as a smile appeared on his face and all worries about the mysterious creature in the sea vanished.
