TDG Fanfic: The Golden Throne - Chapter 38

Many changes happen in Glory city over the two and a half years Danny was gone. The first thing that happened was that many fighters and demon spiritualists who retired due to a disability on the job, like loss of a limb, severe injury, etc., got hired as teachers in the academy, and in new city guards. Some even began to work as guards themselves. Due to the peace being maintained by the newly formed city guard which was mostly made from commoners, the crime rate decreased dramatically that even the dark guide had to limit there actions. The people ȧssigned from different fractions to maintain the peace were removed and ȧssigned to either guarding the wall or joining the city lord mansions scout group or even forming adventurers group due to the peace brought by the city guards.

The next big change was the the city walls were expanded and due to the increase in fighters and demon spiritualists ,thanks to Danny’s charity, a higher number of guards were situated on the city wall which helped decrease the occasional attack of beasts on the city. Many people also found out that Ye Zhong broke through to legend rank due to him killing an early legend rank beast who attacked the city. The number of farmlands increased dramatically which helped decrease the price of food this benefited the commoners a lot. Many people praised the Union for its moves as it bettered the quality of life of all people in Glory city. The next thing that happened was the release of rune equipment by the Commoner’s Union Refining Departments(blacksmith, rune, formation) which improved the efficiency of fighters and spiritualists as well as restaurants and farmers. The most popular release was the Black Iron adjustable heating pan and the Illuminating Crystal Orb. Thanks to these inventions and the improvement of quality glory city slums and commoners district looked like a rich area on earth. They were much cleaner, with flowering plants and illuminating Orbs lighting the roads, making everything look better.

The third thing that pushed the advancement in Glory city were the schools which the curriculum was remade by Danny helped produce more talented individuals. Other than Orchid Academy which was the best school for becoming a demon spiritualist/ fighter and reserved mainly for the nobles, the rest of the schools were built by Danny and were named general schools depending on the district. They were split like Danny’s schools on earth and admitted people age 3 and up. The primary school taught everything from history to basic math and sent students to secondary schools at age 7. Here the students began to experience more specialized skills and sent to a college department that suited there skills. If someone showed talent in accounting they would go to that department in college to further there skills. The college was split into 3 main groups military, civil, and refining. Thanks to this efficient schooling system although it might not have as much resources as Orchid Academy nor provide the individual with a wide range of skills, it still helped people become more learned and increased the needed talented manpower to the respective department.

The strongest power in Glory city became the Adventurers department. Many people saw it as an opportunity to change there respective statuses and get a legend rank manual. There were many different commoner groups and the majority of adventures groups were C rank. The difference in rank is as follows the team is composed of at least 10 black gold lvl fighters and completed 1200 missions and saved up about 20,000 AdvenPoints is an A rank, B rank the team needs at least 1 black gold rank with a 800 missions and 5000 Advenpoints. C rank the team needs 300 completed missions and has to have at least 10 gold rank experts and needs 1000 Advenpoints. D rank needs 100 missions completed and 3 gold rank with 50 missions complete with 500 Advenpoints. E rank need to have 10 silver rank and 25 missions with 200 Advenpoints. Finally F Rank needs at least 1 silver rank with the weakest member being copper rank 4th lvl with 10 missions completed and 50 Advenpoints. The S rank needs legend rank expert and the rest of the ranks need the lvls beyond that. Missions are ȧssigned based on difficulty and a deposit of half the reward is nesscesary. The adventure department receives 15 percent of mission rewards for there service. The maximum amount of people who can join a group is 30 while minimum is 10. The Department also has its own store that trades Advenpoints for many services and items like techniques, mentorship, weapons, armor, even detailed maps of the areas around glory city. Advenpoints are received based on department contribution which can be done by donations (the rate is 100 demon coins for 1 Advenpoint)and department exclusive missions.

Many of the top tire clans and factions have made there own Adventures group as the benefits were large mainly the legend rank cultivation manuals. They cost 20,000 adventpoints each and only A rank can purchase them. The top ten adventures based on power and mission completion have been listed on what is called the Golden Group list. The tenth place belongs to the Pill Cauldrons which belongs to the alchemy department. The ninth place belongs to Divine Fortune belonging to Divine family. Eight place belonged to a small group called Dark Warriors which Ye Zhong believed to be part of the dark guild but he had no proof. Seventh place Forgotten mercenaries belonging to the Department heads old crew. 6th place Underdogs a group belonging to a group of commoners. 5th place Commoner Union Elites obviously belonging to the Commoners Union. 4th place belonged to the Snow Wind Family and they were called Wind Of Hope. 3rd place belonged to the Sacred Family due to their kind donations known as Sacred Flames. Second place belonged to an unknown group who are the only S class group known as The Chosen Ones. First place belonged to the Danny’s personal group named by Danny, Soul knights. This group was composed of the 10 black gold rank that Danny leeched off Ye Zhong.

Ye Zhong was satisfied with the current glory city as the crime rate decreased exponentially thanks to the City Guards which was an extra force in his hand other than the scouts, their private army, and the secret group his brother trained. The second thing the Sacred Family as well as the no1 auction house in Glory city Evergreen pavilion toned down their actions and arrogance. They did ally with each other as they didn’t like Danny. The rest of the forces Snow wind, Divine and the Alchemist Association formed an alliance which forced the Sacred Family to back down. The final force was Danny’s Commoners Union which gathered all professions and organized them and controlled them from acting out. It was also compromised of mostly commoners who were very united due to being oppressed by the noble families and super rich merchants. At the same time he was worried as the dark guild is able to act in the open due to the Adventure Department. He kept his people eyeing the Sacred Family and the dark warrior group. Thanks to the increase in legend rank manuals especially the improvement of the Sacred Border which was now known as path to Legend. The focus Of these factions was to get these manuals to increase their power which shifted there focus off the City Lord position. He also was able to raise another legend rank which was the head of the scout department Scarlet Rising’s father(sworn brother with Ye Zhong). Other than this not much happened in Glory city…. on the surface that is.

*******************

In the Sacred Family Clan Hall.

“Hahahaha that little brat actually did us a great favor. With the couple of Adventures groups we got and the commoners we bribed we equipped the entire family with top tire black gold weapons. We are also only 100 missions from A rank. Other than The Soul Knights, the Sacred flames will be the second A rank team. With the donations I made Patriarch I was able to get more than enough Advenpoints to get the Little Flame mantra but we still need to be A rank. The Dark Guild is able to act in the open but the crime and inductions have decreased dramatically due to the increase of experts among the Commoners Union. We still don’t know if there is any other legend rank of than Ye Mo and Ye Zhong.

The brat is still outside Glory city and we failed to detect any abnormal movements from their side. The reason I said failed is due to the death of the scouts sent by both us and the dark guild. Also the low level members knew nothing so we couldn’t get any secrets about the rune, blacksmithing, and formation departments. We also have no idea who are the core members the stupid brat has things figured out.

There is some good news though. The noble families Ao cloud, Feng Ming, and the Chu family decided to join our alliance as they are unhappy about how the commoners who were bugs to them now have an opportunity to surpass them. They also aren’t apart of the core of there respective fields. The chu family was excluded from the secret formulas of the new pills as they were more loyal to the clan than the Alchemist Association. The Feng family specialize in speed with wind/lightning affinities but they are only kept a grunts in the Glory City scouts. The Ao cloud family owned most of the blacksmiths and made most of the weapons before the kids Union dramatically decreased his income. They didn’t wanna be under him so they joined our alliance.

Some other families that joined were the silver tiger aristocrat family as well as the the Tie Men Family which was due to the fact they don’t like the Heavenly mark family who attached itself with the City lord faction. These family were controlled by the Hong Yue family but after the split between this who support Dan Lee no I mean Danny Alba. These families were no longer under the Hong Yue family.”

“Very Good Shen Gui have your Shadows continue to monitor the other major families. Tell me how is Shen Fei and Shen Yue doing in the Acadamy? Also what about the Chosen Ones did you find out anything about them. They just popped out of nowhere and became the strongest group. Tell the dark guild when does it plan to act on the young talents of Orchid acadamy. Also put Shen Xue as a teacher for Shen Yue’s class as she is already a silver rank and can play match maker with Ye Ziyun.” As The Patriarch responded to Shen Gui.

“Patriarch Shen Fei is much stronger than we previously estimated and is already at the silver rank same lvl as his Aunt Xue(changed it to Aunt from daughter) Shen Yue is practicing the black gold rank cultivation technique we got from the adventure department and is already peak copper rank we just taught him to suppress his lvl to a little bit higher than his peers. Shen Yue might have a higher chance to reach legend rank than Shen Fei. I will send a letter to both the Academy principal and the representative of the Dark Guild at Star Restaurant. As for the Chosen Ones even the city lord doesn’t know where they came from. There mission completion rate is unbelievable and it is rumored that they have 2 legend rank and the rest are peak black gold rank that can fight above their rank. That’s all the info that we have nothing concrete.”

“Strange Ye Zhong wouldn’t leave them alone but I guess they didn’t give him a reason to act. Who knows what they want?”

**********************

“Do you have any news on the so called Genius?”????1

“He still didn’t come back but he should return soon.”????2

“I can’t wait for us to get rid of him then those Gods will give us strength to withstand the power they bestowed us. That will make us the strongest in Glory city taking it for ourselves.”????1

“We will win easily there are 30 of us and although we won’t attack him with his private army present. Make sure everyone is alert for when he is truest alone.”???3

****************

The stronghold was almost completed as they were connecting all the buildings and the walls with the formation. Six months passed since Danny entered the ruins and 500 brothers returned to the strong hold to provide more beast cores and other material for the completion of the formation. They also went there to help guarding the stronghold. No one noticed thousands of people being secretly taken from the eastern gate to build the stronghold.

Ye Ren told the workers to begin the next phase and build a larger formation around the entire mountain. This formation will superimpose with the previous one in the stronghold and this will absorb energy from the earth and sky strengthening the formation manifolds as time passes. Which may reach a point of being able to block a deity rank expert.

*******************

Akuma and his 499 brothers were guarding the cave waiting for Danny to come out. Danny’s 15 birthday already passed and there was still no sign of him. They were told to wait a year before returning to the stronghold.
