Chapter 340 - Steam Punk City (2/2)

There also seemed to be a lot more machinery around and about in the town. Even the carriage that had arrived looked like it was being powered by motors and such.

This was all because of the work of Randin. During his time here, he had used his knowledge and the vast supply of Beast crystals Avrion was able to supply him to experiment. In the end, he managed to turn the city into something that he would call, a steampunk city.

”This is truly impressive,” Lenny said. ”This city is at least fifty years ahead of everyone else.”

”Yes.” Bliss added. ”It seems not only have they been able to utilize the beast cores using magic circles but combined it with complex machinery.”

To the three who hadn't been here before, Slyvia started to give them a little tour. Telling them about all the changes and how the army worked now, but after the positive then came the negative.

”I think it's best if we talk about the rest together at the academy,” Slyvia said.

Although the city had changed much, not a lot had changed about the academy itself. It was still filled with new students, and knights were stationed all over the place.

Finally, they had entered the meeting room on the top floor, and the six of them, including as well as Slyvia were the only ones there.

”Where are the others?” Martha asked.

”They are extremely busy at the moment,” Slyvia explained. ”The black Rings guild that you faced, seem to be not the only Guild that are causing us problems at the moment. They have all three sides surrounded not allowing anyone to enter. Although to be honest at the moment, its kind of a good thing.”

”What do you mean?” Ray asked.

”Although we can survive thanks to Randin's technology and the hunting grounds near us, the only thing we are lacking in is food. The man that the Alure Queen sent us helped, but there is not enough land to grow enough crops for everyone. I'm afraid we might only last a month longer on the food supplies we have at the moment.”

”I think I might have a solution to your problem,” Bliss said.

Sylvia was cautious when she saw this female stand up, for she knew exactly who she was. Ray had told Slyvia everything that had happened and before she used to see this person as her as a god that she served. But right now Slyvia had one thought, she was her Rival.

”If we are able to clear the shadow continent up north, I have a spell that will be able to purify the land. This way, you will not anger any of the other kingdoms, and even the empire will be unaware of what we are doing.”

”You can really do that!” Slyvia said, surprised.

So far, not a single person had figured out how to cure the infected land, and if the words were coming out from anyone else's mouth, they would have perhaps thought they were untrue, but this was the divine being.

”If you can really help us, then I will do my best to support you, I will be happy to send over anyone to support you,” Slyvia said.

After going through a few more topics as a group, the conversation of making the army stronger had occurred. This was now important not only to fight the shadow in six months but possibly the empire as well.

The discussion of what had happened to Martha with combining a beast with her and what the Divine being had said was explained. They went into detail about the process as well as the risks.

”The question is, who do we know will pass the process or not? And who would even be willing.” Martha said.

”Leave this to me,” Ray replied. Using his dragon eyes skill, Ray felt like he could select those that were talented and had enough strength to go through the process. ”I guess its time I see how our new students are doing.”
