Electus - Chapter 470

Upon Gaster Kingdom arrived two much loved individuals along with 10 tall men and women. Taking hold of the lands they walk on, grabbing tens of Guard’s attention once they were spotted from a distance.

Kazer and Dilli, yes those are the names of the two considered Heroes leading a handful of Guards towards the domain.

Although a lot has happened in just a few days, Dilli has been sent to the New Lan Zhe nearly 2 weeks ago and has returned with the demand, 10 Guards belonging to the Calidum Lutum race who can help tame the Demonic attacks.

Being his shift right now, currently 10am so we can easily figure that he didn’t sleep much. Dizzy a bit no doubt, half aware of what he is doing or saying.

King Michael flew from the wall and went towards the group, wanting to give them a personal welcome. Even when sleep deprived and dead tired, the King sees honouring individuals as a priority, helps keep overall relations stronger.

“Welcome welcome!” King Michael repeated once making a landing, slipping on the cold sloppy mud for an inch after he started walking but thankfully not meeting his face with mud.

Warmth and handshakes exchanged, all King Michael could think of next is pointing out what seems to be… destiny. “I was going to send Dilli to get one of you Grand Masters here, what were the odds…”

Fluent in the Ignite language better than an actual Ignite by now, Kazer revealed. “Oh I wanted to deliver some golden… or dare I say purple news to you personally, my people owe you a heaven and above but thankfully we can pay our debts.”

Quick to catch on what Kazer is talking about, King Michael mouthed. “You have no debt on me, on us. Whatever we gave shall not be returned.”

And the King is well insistent to that point, he even forgot what he needed a Grand Master of Lava Blasting here to begin with.

Since the King doesn’t seem to work with debt, Kazer took this on a different view and perspective in order to convince the King. “Look, we have discovered a large Ignite Gem Cavern that can make you very wealthy, it can make Gaster Kingdom heavily wealthy.”

Grabbing the King’s attention no doubt, this can be a tide changer for other issues that doesn’t have anything to do with the Demons.

Although on the other hand Gaster Kingdom isn’t suffering Income-wise, but just had to make sudden unplanned expenses. But it is stupidly clear that a bigger Income can make a stronger Domain so Kazer has to be heard out.

With silence stretching for just a few seconds, Kazer continued to cite. “Debt aside, the Cavern is just sitting there where it can be obliterated by Clawed Demons at any time, we sealed a portal shut there.”

Considering politics, Kazer decided to use a golden feather which can ink a solid decision upon the respected King Michael. “The gold you can earn from the Ignite Gems can fuel military build up, I remember you talking about King Zar’s project a few weeks earlier. This can contribute to the prime goal of destroying all them borders and make Ignis one again.”

Considerate, since this whole Cavern revolves around the fact that the Calidum Lutum discovered it. King Michael asked after waving for the group to enter Gaster Kingdom. “What about the new Lan Zhe?”

Usually able to catch on quick even though questions short and blurry, Kazer weighed in one sole fact. “Lan Zhe doesn’t need Gold, we go on just fine without it. Take the Cavern as our contribution into this Continent’s war… or aim at least.”

Remembering what the King mentioned earlier, Kazer felt an itch to query. “What do you need a Lava Blaster here for though?”

Sleepy beyond prepare, the King’s eyes opened a quarter more when Battle talk emerged so he detailed. “Oh, see we want to build a bit of a complex wall to fend off the Demons. We need it quick so that’s where Lava comes in, I understand you can form Volcanic rock.”

Confident with his own abilities, waving his hand in front of the King, Kazer shortly spoke. “Easy, it will take a week or two to form though.”

Having face to face information on how much his Kingdom can handle, Michael stated. “I think we can hold Demons off that long, especially now with our Arsenal stronger.”

And coated it with a compliment for the sake of motivation, for the sake of pulling the man in battle when necessary. “I’m pretty sure you can fight Clawed Demons, I mean look at you!”

…

Having a quick view of the wall plan, Kazer decided to restate his claim time-wise earlier. “This might take a month, I’m here alone and can’t risk bringing more Grand Masters here.”

Trying to be more descriptive as why this will take a while, Kazer cited. “As far as I saw, the wall will be 400 meters wide. It’s big!”

Trying to excuse the large demand, King Michael explained. “We can’t have the second wall close to the first one, it won’t give us time to defeat any big attack.”

Understanding that he might have revealed his feelings about this project slightly the wrong way earlier, Kazer felt an urge to add. “I’m not saying you are wrong for wanting that, it will just take a month to build.”

Catching up with what Kazer is trying to say although inevitably for a while because of sleep deprivation. King Michael added with a loud laugh, “You are saying it like one month is a bad thing.”

And tried to compliment Kazer by adding some firm facts. “It would take us smaller Humans 5 years and 100 men putting in work through it, to make what you can in a month.”

Spotting that this conversation has taken a delicate turn, Kazer kept it short so he can get into work already. “Well looks like I can pay off my town’s debt with this.”

They are out here checking where the wall should start while the rest of the guests have already settled in.

Never going back on his word, King Michael recited. “Lan Zhe has no debt to Gaster Kingdom, we are allies and we don’t count favours. If there was any debt to be spoken off, you cleared it when accepting my settlement recommendation. You can help Bale town if they ever face trouble, that’s all I need to know.”

Striking the large Grand Master quiet, King Michael decided to use this opportunity since debt is involved. “You have no debt, but I have a request.”

Swift and shortly, Kazer asked. “What is it? Name it.”

Slowly but surely, King Michael made his thoughts transparent. “The Ignite Gem Caverns, their riches are too big for one Kingdom to hoard it all. If you see it reasonable, I want to share it with Bale town and Pameres Kingdom. They are going beyond a mile to compress any attackers.”

Not caring to have a word over such decision, Kazer cut it short and eager to get into work. “That’s all up to you, the Cavern can still finance all three of you for well over a year, it’s huge!”

The Cavern can be considered a Relic and well respected too but in the long run what will it do except for looking pretty?

This Continent has issues to fix and monetary influences can help on the long run, ironically peace comes with gold politic-wise.

Furthermore, the Cavern can still be called a relic even after all of that Ignite Gem is mined down. The Castle and its branches is also a good Relic. Most of its contents are over 6 millennia old.

…

To break the work down by possibly a week, Kazer recommended… you guessed it, more work.

Well it’s more of a logical point of view really since it can cut the work by a quarter even though technically it requires more men.

40 or so people with pickaxes have been called over to form what we can consider a circular ditch. This wall has a handful of requirements and a bit of orientation can inevitably help avoid mistakes.

The ditch isn’t deep, barely a foot come to think of it but a quarter of the whole thing got dug in an hour and will help Kazer in the long term.

The ditch also helps with collecting Lava for a bit, that alone can be used as a foundation and another bigger layer of the wall can be built over it after.

King Michael specified that it doesn’t have to be anything fancy, the more rugged the better defense-wise.

…

Getting a couple hours of work put in, Kazer found it reasonable to mention a topic he forgot all about. “In the same Castle that leads to the Portal we sealed, we have discovered a Dungeon like structure close to the Ignite Castle… A bit hard to explain but we found books, ancient likely but a few are written in Ignite and the other in Calidum Lutum.”

Undoubtedly catching the King’s attention through and through just before he was about to leave and take a nap, Kazer sealed conclusions with a grand fact. “I’ve read through the Calidum Lutum books a bit, I think Ignites and Calidum Lutums had some type of cooperation in the past.
