Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Rain had imagined that some of the mermaids of the Seafolk possessed an intriguing talent: the ability to induce a state of brainwashing in their targets through the enchanting allure of their voices. However, this ability posed certain challenges when utilized in combat.

The effect of their voices had a relatively short reach, necessitating that the mermaids venture dangerously close to their intended subjects. This proximity put them in harm's way.

While employing their captivating voices, mermaids were unable to perform any other combat-related actions. This meant they couldn't attack, defend, or provide alternate support to their allies. This one-track approach made them vulnerable during the process; they couldn't move either.

Rain didn't ask that, but it seemed that Seadir had a big mouth and that was most likely one of the reasons why he wasn't at the top of the hierarchy when it comes to the sea emperor kids.

Nevertheless, over the course of the next week, Rain captured ten more people that had ties with Joanis and all of them spilled the beans after Seadir made them listen to some nice songs coming from bewitching mermaids… Rain was thinking that he should invent the earphones in that world, just to be sure that he wouldn't fall for those.

"My apologies, while we confirmed their ties with Joanis, we didn't learn anything of any use," Seadir explained when he went to report to Rain and his friend about the findings.

"Well, it was obvious that Joanis and the king wouldn't leave any real important information behind," Branden said.

"They are all working just to fund the war, and none of them were actually filling their pockets while they were at it…" Esmeralda said while thinking about some things. "Either they were scared of the guys, or they truly wanted a large chunk of the magic people's country."

"My apologies in advance if I sound too demanding, but it would be helpful if you could help us take over the port town with the sound magic," Orcis suddenly said. "We would be able to weed out those who are spies."

"We can help with that since that will benefit us as well," Seadir smiled in satisfaction. "Father is in a good mood, so he had raised that possibility already. We kept hidden the fact that we could do that just to be cautious, but you all proved too many times that you can be trusted."

"I am amazed that Rain can be more guarded than the sea emperor…" Lorene said while frowning as they watched Rain building the underground foundation of the first shop that he had bought. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"I am kind of busy here, but I am listening," Rain explained. "Things are fine as they are, the sea emperor might not realize this, but we are not declaring that we are allies for the best. Who would become allies with a much smaller force? I bet a lot of his underlings and supporters would contest his decisions if he were to do that."

"... You may be right… I didn't consider that," Seadir said after blinking several times. "I guess father didn't consider either since he doesn't care about that kind of stuff."

Father and son were pretty similar, even though they don't get along that well. Rain didn't want to say that out loud, but Seadir would become more important for his people if he had a bit more vision. That was extremely necessary, given that his father was lacking in that field.

Regardless, Rain couldn't stop talking because he had a lot of work to do. Only he could design the foundation of his shops since only he knew how it was going to work. His ideas and plans were hard to phantom more often than not, after all. At the same time, he had bought two other shops already, and they needed to be reformed faster than something else could happen and slow down his plans.

In any case, during that time, Rain's golems made him unlock a new path. The farmer's path reached level fifty, and he actually unlocked the Cook's path… naturally, it came at a high level since he cooked a lot for his sisters and friends.

At the same time, he realized that few people could unlock that path because too little experience was given while using the usual work of a farmer… he only pulled it off because his golems basically did in a few months something that was worthy of decades of work by a single person. Still, it had a lot of potential.

You fulfilled the necessary requirements to unlock a new path.
