Uehfvjfd 41 Earthly Treasure

Stalact.i.tes were coming from the cavern ceiling, beautifully lighted by a mult.i.tude of different kinds of valuable minerals. He could feel the natural mana density in this place was incredible. Even better than in his magic tower.

In the middle of the large cavern was a pedestal, a gla.s.s cube on top of that.

The cube was gorgeous, lighting its surroundings a deep blue.

After taking in the beauty of the cavern around him, Jay moved up, standing before the pedestal.

He could feel that the entire dungeon was powered by this small cube, which was only about 10cm x 10cm.

When being this close to it, the mana was so thick he got burnt by mana overflow. Standing 1 meter away from it seemed to be his absolute limit, yet even from this distance, he could feel that once he got access to the cube, he would get access to the dungeon.

It felt like a key to absolute power, it was odd even looking at an item that could do that, he could only imagine what he could do when he actually got his hands on it.

However much he wanted to, there would be no way for him to safely carry it upwards, and even if he did there would be no way for him to safeguard it, as anyone that wasn't Tier 1 would probably be unable to look at it without burning their eyes.

Time moved quickly when he was looking at the blue within the cube, trying to feel what was inside.

After spending multiple hours without achieving anything he started heading back. He had the scepter and that was already a great reward!

Once he headed back up to the surface, he arrived back into Twin City, the citizens were all working, the women were getting basic training, something they didn't get in the past while the men trined them.

Only a bit over a week had pa.s.sed but Jay decided to head back to the capital. He simply had too many people. The number of people he had gotten now would barely be able to integrate into the culture First City has.

If he went on for another week, Jay was afraid that his culture of war and productiveness would fall. Hence he hadn't been able to clear the area he meant to clear but in a way, this was a good thing.

Twin city wouldn't be moved, these were 2 silver grade cities who would slowly work towards becoming one, an important place to defend the treasure underground.

Before leaving the cities Jay did 2 things.

First, he restricted access into the tunnels, n.o.body was to enter under penalty of death. He could not risk the treasure being destroyed or taken. The second decision he made was to leave some soldiers from First City here.

They would serve high roles and an example for the citizens. He hoped they would be able to sufficiently change these citizens within the week. Introducing them to the way of life they were used to.

Soon bodyguard Morning, Isabella and Jake followed Jay and his troops back to First City.

Soon, they arrived back to First City. All of the new troops, as well as the special trio, were stunned by the sight of it. There were 2 walls, the roads were plaid with stones, the houses were all large, there was a bridge going over the ma.s.sive river to the west, there was a huge mansion and a ma.s.sive tower, and a beautiful view to the north, where they could see the snowy mountains.

Obviously, the people remaining inside saw them coming and prepared for their arrival.

Jay was happy to see that miss Evergreen had made more golems since every gate now also had one as protection.

He was quick to send everyone to work. They were specifically told to follow the instructions of the original citizens, and the original citizens were told to mention the lord a lot and do a bunch of combat training.

He hoped that this way many of them would awaken the Blind Follower talent, something he had learned to love dearly.

More houses were being built constantly, with a third wall also beginning construction. Jay was a bit nervous about all of this, micromanaging citizens would now turn impossible, among the people they had gained were a bunch of basic talents. This included cartographers, scientists, magical scientists and more.

This obviously made Jay insanely happy. He also decided that if most of the people didn't have the blind follower specialty he would just buy some on the market. The problem was he was getting somewhat close to the limit on the system market. Even items such as farmers had a limited inventory, it was just that nearly n.o.body bought them.

There were only about 100 farmers left in stock and a similar amount of warriors.

He decided to hold off for now and focused on managing the city.

Luckily many people with the leaders.h.i.+p talent were here, more being created at this time. After all, skills can be improved and he didn't believe that after guiding a group of people for a couple of days any of the original citizens would lack the leaders.h.i.+p talent.

In this was 4 more days pa.s.sed peacefully. In this time Jay hadn't gone outside of the city for even the slightest bit of time. He also discovered that Jake was a very capable subordinate. Even if he couldn't be controlled or given the 'Blind Follower' talent he decided to listen to him carefully.

At this point, he had obviously already asked him about his reason for surrendering and was rather surprised by his wits. For this reason, he decided to make him the mayor of First City.

As for Isabella, she was given permission to the first 2 floors of the tower, where she practiced her magic a lot. Jay was slightly worried about how little she acted like a kid but decided not to worry too much.

As for bodyguard Gustel, he was ordered to remain by his side at all times.

It was now that General Green appeared to their West. He had about 150 people in his group, but they seemed to be running, almost as if they were being chased.
