Reincarnation of The Strongest Spirit Master - Chapter 937: Lara’s City

“Are you sure of this?” Lara had to ask, “my city may look grandiose, but it indeed lacks tons of things. If you promise the king’s and kingdom’s support, then…”

“Any strong place in the kingdom is a gem in the eyes of the king,” Sloth stressed over this point, “with or without that underground city, your place would have gained total support from the king.”

“Then… What will we get back from this deal then?!!!” Lara went speechless for a long minute before asking in much confusion. And all she got was a loud laugh from Sloth.

“Welcome to the world of monarchs, Miss Lara, hahahaha,” Sloth only said amidst his laughs, and sadly Lara didn’t get what he meant by his words and thought he was just teasing her or something.

“Fine, we agree,” she took the offer quite seriously and agreed right on the spot, “but… I won’t be handling the city for a long time. I plan to go with William and train. So you’ll have to make this deal with someone else.”

“Your uncle?” William already guessed the identity of the person Lara would leave behind as the leader of the city in her absence. And she slowly nodded to confirm his guess.

“He is a great person indeed,” William agreed on this. Without realising it himself, he started to control the fate of other cities and places, helping in making decisions there and such.

Even such a crucial decision was made right on the spot, and it got his blessing to make it viable from this moment onwards.

The two agreed on the same man, and Sloth expected to meet someone great. As they arrived at the city, passed the walls, they found the newly built outer zone was totally crowded and bustling with masters and normal people.

They just walked for a few minutes and they got why this city looked this way. It experienced something similar to what the Scorching Lands had five years ago, a lack of threatening atmosphere and dangers.

Yet unlike the Scorching Lands city, this city got the advantage of many portals linking it with other areas in the kingdom and in the entire continent. This was enough to drive more people here, mostly those normal people without any spirit power, or masters who got tired of fighting and facing dangers all the time.

William didn’t know that many masters followed their families here, fearing over their safety and such. That wasn’t all, as even a few academies came here to establish branches, trying to recruit fresh blood, send away their oldies and kids to enjoy peaceful life before entering the harsh spirit master world.

There were even a few academies who got established here, and wanted to enjoy such peace to grow up, recruit more members and train them before going outside and opening other branches there.

The city was indeed growing with more activities than just these. When William entered the inner section of the city, he found his guild branch there filled with dense lines outside, waiting for their entrance exam and getting accepted.

Seeing such a scene drove a big smile over William’s face. All of these masters were eager to join his guild. Not many of them were up to cater to the high standards he placed for accepting new members before leaving, but many would get accepted in the end.

This was just the tip of the iceberg! When he got into the branch, after creating a scene outside as most of the masters cheered for him and the guild, he learnt that such events became regular once per month. <subtxt> 𝚒𝚗𝚗𝚛e𝚊𝚍.c𝚘m </subtxt>

News about this spread far and wide. Many preferred this branch here than the Scorching Lands as the latter was quite far from here.

“Then where are all of them?” William got to see the numbers of masters joining the guild so far. The figure was in hundreds of thousands, making it a very crazy group to organise and control.

Luckily he left behind few of his trusted team members, or else they’d have lost their grasp over the entire branch and the situation.

“They are sent out, doing lots of missions, clearing areas from monsters and dark masters…” Sara held a scroll and started to read its content slowly, as she didn’t believe the scary number of missions the guild was handling so far.

The missions were in thousands! And more were coming every day. According to the data, his guild branch here got tons of wealth, materials, cores, gears, and even elixirs as form of payment.

Many forces warmly welcomed the idea that this city spread all over the continent. Having a strong and organised force, dedicated solely to fight monsters and eradicate dark masters was indeed quite a fancy idea.

Not to mention this force didn’t have any aspiration for power, and would leave after doing the task. This added more reputation to the Fox Guild, encouraging more to hire them.

These missions spread all over the entire continent. It was something to cross the entire continent back and forth, but the guild managed to pull such a feat thanks to the dense number of portals in the city.

According to the news he learnt from the masters he left behind, the city developed two more zones with portals. They heard there was a treasure found at the underground city, one that was filled with tons of portal cores.

Doing this helped in expanding the arms of the city to every corner in the continent. William knew the city upper council used his guild’s reputation as a bait, to lure others into accepting linking their areas with here. At the same time, there was a promise made, a promise to come in rescue to any place connected to the city no matter how dire the situation was.

William was sure such a promise was made after calculating the number of high end masters in the city. As the figure was expected to be quite high, no lesser than what the capital had.
