Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 963 - Building The City



"Start planning then," Arthur pointed at the mountain before stressing again on the point he mentioned before, "I want this city to be the most beautiful one in my empire."

"We will make it the gem of the empire," Deem said before looking around. "We'll go and take a tour around the mountain. During which you can bring the labor there."

He pointed towards a spot and Arthur simply nodded. He didn't need to say anything to Gege as she already opened the portals and the earlier batches of the workers appeared.

"We'll stay here, right?" Sara asked while her face showed her intent to stay.

Arthur didn't have any urgent matters at home. In fact he wanted to return to feel the peaceful atmosphere of his lake city.

But as he got another beauty, he couldn't think of going to the lake city for now.

Plus there were more things that needed his attention first.

"We'll need troops to guard," he muttered, "and workers to mine the mountain."

"Mine the mountain?" Sara seemed to be scared, "no, you shouldn't let anyone come closer to the peak."

Arthur raised his head to see the sparkling alluring peak again. "Why? We need to mine this ore and take it out," he said while feeling odd from her words.

"The Gruben ore isn't mined this way," Sara seemed to be more experienced in dealing with such ore, "if we did, then we would lose track of the veins running deeply inside the mountain. Plus..."

Her face showed a moment of deep thinking before adding, "the best workers to mine it aren't miners, but blacksmiths."

"What?" Arthur was surprised to hear that.

"This ore isn't stable in normal circumstances," Sara started to explain, "it's kept in its semi-solid form thanks to the rich minerals of the soil here. If we took it out, the ore would turn into a liquid state and get ruined by the air. We can't risk doing that."

"Then... How can we take it out?"

Arthur felt like having a gem but he couldn't use it at all. He couldn't wear it, show it to the people, or even sell it to get money back.

"We need to take it out using fire and heat then smelt it down and reform it at once," she said before adding, "so we can't take it out until we figure out what we are going to do."

Arthur felt a little puzzled here but he had to believe her words. She was the expert after all and he decided to follow her words to the letter.

"So we have the issue of the purple ore to fix, right?" he said before adding, "but didn't you say mixing two ores together requires experiments?"

"That's correct," she nodded, "but we can do that once we manage to control the energy inside the dangerous ore of yours. But first we have to answer this question, what's the main ore and what's the supplementary one here?"

"What do you mean by that?" Arthur felt puzzled and couldn't answer such a question without understanding things fully.

"The currency will be made mainly by one ore, the primary ore. As for the second one, it can be added to the core as the secondary core," she explained.

Arthur nodded in understanding. "I can say this sparkling ore looks more alluring to me than the purple one. So let's make this Gruben ore the primary ore and the purple ore the secondary one," he said while mapping out the future of his empire's economy with these simple words.

"If so then we have to make the purple ore refined as far as we could," she said before adding, "but its stability will remain an issue."

Arthur didn't agree with her. "I believe if we use it in the core, then we can use ruins to control it. I'll go inside first to learn more about the diagrams of the originals. I hope I can learn enough to embed this knowledge into the arrays and ruins I'm familiar with."

"Won't you take me with you?" Sara looked depressed and hesitant. Arthur recalled his promise earlier and couldn't help but nod.

"Why not? Come, you'll be amazed! I bet you on that."

"Hahaha, after seeing so much with you, I doubt anything would amaze me anymore," she laughed but Arthur knew she would be amazed.

And he was right in his bet.

The moment the two appeared inside the world of the originals, Sara was shocked to see their numbers. She witnessed the originals before back in the last epic battle.

But she witnessed them from far, far away. She never came so close or felt their intimidating aura.

As a result she remained fixed in her place, paralzyed by their domineering aura. As for the originals, they all came and welcomed their prime.

"Easy," Arthur said to let them stand straight before turning to look at the shocked face of Sara with amusement. "Didn't I say that?"

"What?" Sara was jolted awake before her mind regained its activity. "Yeah, I owe you one."

"You owe me more," Arthur laughed before turning his attention to the originals. They all looked in expectation that he knew its source.

"I didn't come here to do that, but why not?" he shrugged before adding, "if you want, one of you can have this flower."

The next moment the flower of the original essence appeared with its blue and green petals. The moment it came into their sight, everyone, literally everyone started to go crazy about it.

"Take it back," Arthur felt the originals going insane by seeing this flower so he decided to take it back. He didn't want to lose control over his most precious soldiers.

He decided to first settle on the one who was going to take it before giving it to him.

But the moment he took the flower away, all the originals looked at him in anger and madness.

"I don't mind killing a few of you to make you calm down a bit," despite these terrifying gazes that scared Sara and made her return to shield herself behind him, Arthur wasn't fazed at all.

In fact he wanted more of the purple curtains to bring forth more originals. After all, one original would give a large fabric enough to be divided into many smaller pieces.

In other words, one dead original would revive at least five originals.. In his opinion it was a good trade but he didn't do that yet.
