Fantasy Family Simulator - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Real Simulation

Translator: Henyee

After a moment of daze, the light screen dissipated and recovered.

After Reiter finished reading the content of [Word Simulation] and saw what happened in the next few months, he found it unbelievable.

First of all, his third son, Thales, had actually snuck off to look for Lilice. He had even sold his body for his illness. A ball of anger rose in Reiter’s heart, but then it was extinguished. He let out a helpless sigh. The expression on his face was sad but unwilling.

“At the end of the day, the child is only thinking about me. What’s wrong with that? It’s all my fault for being powerless.”

This simulation finally allowed Reiter to understand the general function of his cheat. It was more or less the ability to predict the future. However, almost all the targets of the simulation revolved around him and his family’s fate.

For example, important matters that happened to him and his sons, as well as major events in the territory, might be simulated into the future. However, after seeing the final outcome, Reiter could not be happy no matter what.

“Traveling merchants? I know about this. Every spring to autumn, there will be some traveling merchants traveling to various towns and territories to do some business, but the simulator doesn’t mention anyone’s name.” Reiter’s expression was a little uncertain as thoughts spun in his mind.

From the simulation content, the traveling merchant was also at Grade 2 and might even have hidden trump cards. Therefore, he waited for the other party to arrive and set up an ambush. He would strike first and gain the upper hand. The outcome was also full of unknowns.

Reiter frowned and thought about it. If he waited until next year, when the traveling merchant invited him to kill the mutated wind wolf, it would not be appropriate to reject the other party’s request.

After all, the mutated wind wolf was on the west side of the Thorn Forest, near his territory.

According to the description of the simulator, the combat power of the mutated wind wolf could not be underestimated. It was very likely that it would attack his territory again in the future. At that time, he, whose combat strength had already been affected, would probably not be a match for the mutated wind wolf.

Reiter’s eyes revealed a hint of contemplation. He had to deal with this hidden danger. Moreover, he had also noticed that the results of the Word Simulation had already mentioned that on January 3rd next year, a Class 1 Wind Wolf had picked up two Class 2 Magical Beasts.

Coincidentally, in the next month, a Class 2 Mutant Wind Wolf appeared around his territory. He would never believe that there was nothing fishy about this.

Because every territory had to be cleaned up and patrolled by the higher-ups before being conferred, they were all conferred after confirming that it was unlikely to pose a strong threat.

Therefore, it was almost impossible to see any Class 2 Magical Beasts around his territory. At most, there would be Class 1 Magical Beasts flowing over from a branch of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts nearly a thousand kilometers away. This was not considered a threat.

Hence, Reiter suspected that this Class 2 Mutant was most likely evolved from that Class 1 Wind Wolf.

The opportunity to advance was either related to the two Class 2 magical beasts or the relics left behind by a Grade 5 Magister.

The professional levels of mages were clearly divided. Moreover, every three levels was another hurdle. Therefore, before Grade 9, there were different names for every three levels. They were Mage, Magister, and Great Archmage.

A Grade 5 Magister was enough to become a Marquis of the Kingdom of Jinlun. If Reiter were to face such an existence, he would probably be eliminated without even having the chance to attack.

Therefore, how precious was the inheritance left behind by a Grade 5 Magister? In short, it was so attractive to Reiter that it was indescribable. Even if Reiter could not be 100% sure, this Class 2 mutated wind wolf must be the one who had picked up the spoils a month before that.

But from the looks of it, he and his family were already in an extremely bad situation.

He had to do something!

“Phew, when tomorrow arrives, I’ll gather all my men and make a trip to Thorn Forest.”

Reiter slowly closed his eyes and planned to meditate to increase his spiritual power. Suddenly, he frowned and remembered that he had yet to try [Real Simulation]. He had been so entangled with the content of [Word Simulation] that he had forgotten about it.

He opened the system.

[Do you want to start the Real Simulation? For every day of simulation, 1 Destiny Point will be consumed.]

“Yes.”

Ripples appeared in the space in front of him. When the ripples dissipated, Reiter found that he was still in the original space. He stood up, but he didn’t feel anything strange. The surrounding environment didn’t change either.

Reiter twisted his neck slightly and looked around. “Has the simulation begun?” Then, with a thought, he realized that he could still summon the system, but he could not do the [Word Simulation] here.

The main thing was that as long as he was willing, he could end this simulation at any time.

After staying where he was for a few seconds, Reiter finally had a plan.

He started to go downstairs. When he reached the fourth floor, Svieta, the butler, happened to walk out of a side door. When he saw Reiter coming down, he was very surprised. He hurriedly walked forward and bowed. “Master, if there’s anything you need, just tell me. There’s no need for you to go personally.”

At the same time, Svieta began to recall. Could it be that he did not hear Master shouting above just now?

Although Reiter’s body was weak, he still smiled. “I’m going out for a while. Bring me a thicker shirt.”

When Svieta heard that his master was going out, he thought that he had misheard. Heavens, Master went out alone on a snowy and cold night with such injuries. However, when Svieta met his master’s unquestionable gaze, his heart skipped a beat. He knew that he should firmly obey his master’s decision.

He turned around and returned to his room. Not long after, he returned with a thick bearskin coat and handed it to Reiter.

In the hall on the first floor, Reiter insisted on leaving despite the obstruction of his three sons and others. As he left, Tucker scratched his head. He also wanted to chase after his father with a long sword, wanting to protect his father.

Reiter vehemently rejected the move, ordering that no one should follow without his request. At this moment, Reiter completely displayed the dignity of a lord and family head.

The wind blew, and the snow was endless.

Under everyone’s gaze, Reiter gradually disappeared into the night.

Wearing a bearskin coat, Reiter braved the biting cold wind and embarked on the journey to Thorn Forest. He condensed a fireball in his palm, and the flames dispelled the coldness around his body.

Although he was an Earth Mage, and his elemental affinity with other elements was very poor, it did not affect him from casting some low-difficulty small spells.

With the support of the wind-element Light Body Spell, Reiter’s speed increased significantly.

Half an hour later, Reiter finally reached Thorn Forest. It was about fifty kilometers from his territory, the Young Eagle Town.

Reiter was not in the mood to admire the plants that were dyed with silver frost. Instead, as the environment became colder, his mind became even colder. He found his mental state during the battle at the frontline.

Although his body was weak now, he could still use 70 to 80% of his strength.

However, if the battle was too intense, he might not be able to last for long. Moreover, as time passed day by day, if the White-Headed Eagle Poison was not properly treated, he would only be affected more and more.

Reiter narrowed his eyes and used his spiritual power to block the aura on his body. If there were creatures nearby and their strength did not exceed his, it would be very difficult to sense his existence.

Then, Reiter carefully circled to the west side of Thorn Forest. At the same time, he focused his attention and completely displayed the state of searching for beastmen on the battlefield, hoping to find useful clues.

Reiter extinguished the fireball in his hand and condensed a layer of earthen yellow light shield around his body to prevent any possible sneak attacks. At the same time, the Rock Shield spell could also resist the cold.

Although it consumed a lot of mental energy, Reiter couldn’t care less about this consumption. Safety first.

The branches in Thorn Forest danced wildly in the wind, and from time to time, a large snow pile would fall.

Not long after entering the forest, Reiter saw some footprints left behind by some creatures on the snow. With his experience, he could tell at a glance that they were only traces left behind by wild rabbits and deer.

He continued forward and another ten minutes passed.

Howl~

A distant roar immediately caught his attention.

Reiter perked up and pricked up his ears to carefully identify the source of the sound. This was definitely the sound of a Wind Wolf.

The roar only lasted for a moment before it stopped. However, Reiter had already locked onto the general direction and walked for a few more minutes. As expected, he discovered the footprints left by the Wind Wolf.

Reiter gripped the magic staff in his hand tightly. This was an equipment that he had exchanged for in the army. It had a certain amplification effect on the magic he released.

He followed the footprints.

Finally, he stopped in front of a mountain that was more than ten meters tall. Reiter realized that not only had the footprints disappeared here, but there was also a faint movement in the small cave ahead.

However, there was not much movement in the cave. Reiter could easily detect that there was only one Class 1 Wind Wolf.

Reiter’s heart relaxed. It seemed that he had guessed correctly. At this moment, it was just an ordinary Class 1 Wind Wolf that had yet to become a mutated Class 2 magical beast.

Immediately, he felt confident and rushed into the cave without hesitation.

The Wind Wolf, who was eating a hare, suddenly raised its head and looked at an uninvited guest who had barged in outside. Its fur stood up and it let out low growls.
