BXBX NOVEL Chapter 545 Shelter?
"Build our own shelter? That won\'t be easy, you know?" Nial asked Melheim to make sure that he understood him properly.
"I thought about it as well but I cannot really tell if the investment will be worth the benefits we can gain," Nial added after a few seconds.
Melheim looked at Nial through the runic eyes with a faint smile on his lips.
"I know that it won\'t be easy to create our own shelter, let alone to make sure that we have enough funding to build the shelter, keep it operational since day one and turn it into a huge, impenetrable fortress. However, I still think that it will be worth it as long as the Dracos are willing to stay with us.
I know that it is unlikely but if the Dracos stay with us as permanent residents and help construct the shelter, we should actually reconsider constructing a shelter where all races are allowed to stay without discrimination. Starting out with something like that will help us make connections, improve our knowledge in the long run and break free of the restrictions that are holding the Orion Artisan Guild and the Onyx Association back." Melheim responded, his body language telling Nial quite clearly that he was getting excited.
\'I knew that you were ambitious, but I didn\'t expect your ambition to go that far, Melheim!\' Nial thought while the corners of his lips tilted upward.
"I like the idea of owning a shelter, that\'s my honest opinion. However, I also know that we would have to reconsider lots of things before constructing a shelter. We need a vast fortune of Origin crystals and other resources before we initiate the shelter construction project. We are yet to finalize the location where we want to construct the shelter as well. It needs to be a place that is somewhat flat and large enough to house millions, if not billions of living beings without feeling too crowded, let alone uncomfortable.
That also means the place of the shelter has to be close to various dungeons and in a location where the mana density is higher than anywhere else.
There are a few more things we would have to pay attention to, but I think you get the gist of what I want to say!" Nial summarized what he wanted to share with Melheim, who nodded his head without a change in his body language.
"That\'s only obvious. We would need the help of the Dracos either way. The Dracos Leader has yet to return and it will probably take quite a while until he comes back. Maybe, we should try to get closer to the Dracos and subtly hint that we desire to create a place where all races will be accepted unconditionally?" Melheim asked, rubbing his hands in excitement.
However, Nial didn\'t say anything in response. He was busy figuring out how to adjust his schedule to receive the most efficient result while scratching the back of his head.
"How long do you think will the Dracos Leader take until he returns with the Greater Forest Dragon egg?" Nial finally asked, which caused Melheim to think about the answer for a while.
His silence didn\'t last long and the answer he provided was very pleasant to hear.
"Probably two months, maybe more? And that is under the condition that he will actually return with the Greater Forest Dragon egg. He might be sent back without the egg, or the higher authorities will drag things out until the countdown of the Soul Contract made between the Royal Princess and the Dracos leader will come to an end."
Nial was more than satisfied with Melheim\'s answer which he showed quite clearly with a thumbs up.
"In that case, I will take your leave. I\'ll be away for a month during which you and the others can start subtly hinting others about the creation of a new shelter that is not directly connected to origin humans. Make sure you don\'t go overboard while I\'m away!" Nial added before a black portal emerged behind him.
He smiled lightly at Melheim who was not sure what was going on as Nial disappeared once again. His leader stepped through the portal of darkness that dispersed just moments later.
"Is he just that busy, or was I just inconsiderate asking him about the shelter?" Melheim wondered as he looked at the position of the darkness portal, or where it had dispersed just a second ago.
While Melheim was unsure whether or not he did something wrong, Nial\'s mind was busy finding an answer to yet another doubt.
Given that he had close to two months before the Draco Leader was likely to return, Nial felt that it was for the best if he were to finish the alteration of his Mana Sea within the next 30 days. That would leave him with enough time to show the Dracos the enormous benefits they would gain by staying with him, whether it was monetary gains, experience, or knowledge.
To be at the peak of his capabilities it was necessary to create the Sea of Darkness before he would return to his work as a Runicier. Simultaneously, it would be possible for him to gain some proficiency with the Vortex of Abyss Cultivation technique.
That way, Nial hoped for the best outcome while expecting the worst. It was not as if he was in desperate need to create his own shelter right now, after all!
As long as he could act as the King from within the Shadows, Nial could do whatever he wanted. It may not be a permanent thing because stronger beings would sooner or later come over but Nial was quite confident that his strength would increase rapidly in the following years.
With the Abyss of Vortex Cultivation technique and its increasing proficiency Nial was bound to reach the Peak of the Deux rank in a few years. Maybe, if things turn out better than expected, he may as well reach the Keltia rank in no time.
Taking that into consideration, Nial decided to return to the domain of the Late Darkness God where he was greeted almost immediately.
[Saying \'long time no see\' would be an exaggeration, don\'t you think?] Damian teased the instant Nial returned to his domain.
"Let\'s start the alteration and finish it within 30 days. I am a busy man, you know?" Nial joined the fun and snickered playfully.
[You are still as impatient as before. I expected you to change… maybe in the future!] Damian said before he started the initiation of Nial\'s Mana Sea alteration.
Meanwhile. Nial was trying to understand what Damian meant with his last words.
However, before he could give it anymore thought, his mind and body were being infiltrated by a tremendous amount of darkness that shot toward him from all directions.
