She transmigrated and started different life

Kendra didn't know their ideas and at that moment didn't care as actually interesting story happened in this one month when she disappeared.

When she left Isaa fainted. But at that time only Cynthia had healing powers. Unfortunately, doe the excessive giving of the powers to make the cloud she couldn't do anything for anyone anyway. So everyone just slowly regained their powers.

For Isaa was hard. Every day she would stand for hours outside and look at the sky with worried eyes. After almost a week passed the blood rain stopped and just normal rain started falling. Of course, they stopped the shield as nature needed water.

After a couple of days more the sunshine appeared on the sky and then the earth got dry and they started preparing for planting vegetables for the season, just like she told them. Every day they would all work with their own hands to distract themselves from thinking and then sit silently every night looking at the sky.

The days passed, one more week passed when Alice told them that there is no more salt. Conrad remembered how people in his country did it and then Isaa told them the story about their life before. How they used salt water to turn into salt by drying or cooking.

On the end, they choose few men and slowly went out village trough a secret path. By accident one of the men in the opposite village that had hundreds of people went actually to search for food. Winter was long and the imbalance and hunger made them leave the safety of their home.

Conrad went to their village and met their head. ''Conrad, is it you?''

On Conrad's face appeared a moment of confusion and then he became calm again. ''Illo. You passed the boundary as well. Nice to see you again, old friend.''

Illo saw his calm expression and sighed. ''You came from a family of warriors but even then you were a calm child and could recognize many things that others couldn't. Tell me, how have you been? When I came to this plane the Taoly sect invited me in and since then I am one of them. I hoped to meet you but you were either cultivating or traveling the worlds. Who would have thought we would meet here.''

Conrad smiled slightly. Illo was always a bit different than other people. Very talkative. But a good person. He relaxed.

''I joined from start on the grounding fairy sect. They are having quite a lot of knowledge. I like being there.'' Conrad sat comfortably on the chair while explaining.

Illo smiled brightly. ''I heard from tart that you joined that sect. It is quite hard to join that place. I heard many years ago many people have been killed. Can you tell me why?'' He was just curious and Conrad knew that. Actually it was better if everyone heard the reason.

''Our guild head used reason of offense to clean some people that worked behind his back. Actually he was not so often in the guild. One of the newcomers that had a promising future was offered by a few guild cultivators. Actually that wouldn't be a reason to kill them, but guild leader  used that chance to destroy all those that were sent by other sects to steal our sects secrets.'' He justs shrugged.

''And what happened to the newbie?'' Illo was surprised about the reasoning.

''We don't know. Shortly two newbies joined us. About the other one, I have no information as I was in the cultivation room at the time.'' When Conrad came out he knew what happened and that even Kendra was involved but didn't want anyone outside their sect to know that, even if it someone he knew from before.

Illo nodded. Those informations he knew as well. ''Well anyway, I am not interested in newbies, was just curious about background story that everyone is talking about. Never mind, let me show you our village.''

Conrad smiled and followed him. Actually, the way they made their village was not bad, but thinking about the comfort of their village, this village is really poor, but they still survived.

''That blood rain and storms destroyed our leftover food. Now we need to find a way to survive. I guess you are in the village on top of that hill. Who is the head of your village?'' Illo casually asked but Conrad shrugged.

''We have one but she is doing her subquest. You do know we have subquests?'' Conrad looked confused at Illo's paling face.

''What is subquest?'' His shout made more people arrive and listen to their stories. Conrad could see true fear in his eyes and tried to calm him down.

''If you are done with your main quest and finish subquests your powers will raise as you did this twice, trice or more. Why do you think those that came out were so powerful after they came out? It is not because of the main quest. that is only for us to rais our power a bit. But it is not enough for us to gain immense add to our powers.''

The people gathered, even more, to listen to Conrad. One of the women that stood closely shyly looked at him. ''What kind of subquests?''

Conrad shook his head. ''I can't believe that none of you finished subquest. I can see you built the village, but is it enough to build, or can someone really live inside. And please forget being cultivators. You are all commoners. That means for the next 4 and half years you all MUST live like this. If you don't live properly your lives could be in danger. Humans die quickly for many reasons. Hunger, thirst, sickness accidents...''

Illo listened silently. A few moments passed then he snapped out his thoughts. ''So what did you all do?''

''We build a village that is comfortable to live in. Our main quest is to build houses made from clay, but there was no time for it. So we will strip house by house and make the same as before just with clay. Taskmaster must have given you the main quest. What is it?'' He looked at Illo that hid his eyes.

''Don't tell me you have the same quest?'' Conrad shook his head Taskamaster really gave them all similar tasks?

Illo nodded. ''Yes, that is the reason we made these houses simple. But Conrad, we have no idea how to make clay houses. Do your people know?''

Conrad had to deny as well. ''No. We will try many things before we start building. But I can tell you something else. I do not think that your clay houses are the same as ours.''

Everyone looked at each other. ''How do you mean that?''

''Look. You made village not on flat ground, you made it between trees and on slope. You should first consider a flat place. Then next, where do you plan to plant vegetables? In forest?''

Illo scratched his head. ''So far we killed animals and gathered from the forest. I think its easier. But the food is kind of bland.''

No wonder Kendra was talking all the time about the sea and about the food. If she were not with us, would we live like them as well?

''Let's start from the start. Luckily spring is coming. You can go and gather fresh mushrooms to survive. One group of people should go and find a better place to make the house and others should maybe come with us to the sea. We plan to extract salt from water so we can have it for seasoning and for food preservation. We plan to fish as well.'' More hands are never too much. If few men from their village go and few from Illo's then they can evenly share the salt and fish.

Illo could see a new hope rising in everyone's eyes. Of course, the idea was good. Over the winter was not bad between the trees but now as the spring came it was so hard to walk around in muddy earth. It was so hard to survive. If someone helped them, they will accept it.

''Then we will help you as well.'' Illo friendly offered but Conrad shook his head.

''As much as I understood our leader we have to finish our tasks by ourselves. We can give you advice, but can't help you built anything. But food is something else. Maybe some other villages are nearby. We can trade things. That is not a bad thing as well, don't you think?''

Illo was about to curse out but deep in his heart, he knew that Conrad told him the truth.
