294 Simple Reinforcemen (2/2)

The palace guard bowed and took his leave.

Under Leon's lead, Marquis Haldir and Faelyn stepped inside the vicinity of the three old buildings just past the earthen wall.

Looking up at the decrepit old buildings in front, Marquis Haldir could not guess Leon's intention for bringing him here. ”What do you need me to do here, Your Highness?”

”These buildings are on the verge of collapse, but we cannot allow that to happen,” Leon stated. Not planning to hide anything from them, he began to explain, ”Within these buildings, there is a hidden teleportation array that leads to demon territory. If these buildings collapse, a spatial rift will open and swallow everything around it.”

Having said that much, Leon looked into Marquis Haldir's eyes with solemnness and said, ”I need you to use your ability to hold this whole place together and prevent them from collapsing. There must be no mistake. Can you do that for me?”

”Yes, Your Highness.” Marquis Haldir solemnly answered.

Like Leon had said, this was something he could definitely do, but the possibility of failure still made him feel pressured.

”You aren't surprised hearing about demons?” Leon asked with surprise.

”I am surprised, Your Highness.” Marquis Haldir stated calmly.

”I am also very surprised,” Faelyn added.

Leon looked at them with doubt.

”But you both did not react all that surprised like a normal person would. Can you tell me why this is the case?” Leon asked when a sudden yet subtle creak coming building was picked up, causing his expression to abruptly change.

”Never mind. We can talk about it later. Marquis Haldir, please.” Leon gestured.

Marquis Haldir nodded. A few seeds were taken out of his Magic Seed Pouch and infused with wood energy before they were tossed to the foot of each old building.

The seeds germinated quickly and sprouted into small trees with

The marquis stepped forward and placed one hand on the tree before countless vine-like branches proliferated and latched onto the walls of the old buildings while some entered the interior and latch onto the floors and ceilings.

The marquis could see and control everything like he had countless pairs of extra eyes by seeping his consciousness into the plant. It was an ability he called Spirit Vision.

The process was slow and gradual, but by the time it was done, the three old buildings looked like one giant treehouse as it was covered in firm woody branches.

Even Leon could not tell what kind of plant the Supreme Elder had used as its form was altered according to his will to support the old building from gradual collapse.

There was a reason why Leon chose the Supreme Elder for the job rather than having some palace guards reinforce the old building with their earthen abilities.

The Supreme Elder had greater control over his element due to his high cultivation base, and the plant method had fewer risks.

Reinforcing the building would undoubtedly apply some pressure on the old buildings during the reinforcing process. Leon did not dare gamble whether the old buildings would be able to withstand the added pressure before the reinforcement is completed or not.

”It is done, Your Highness.” Marquis Haldir stated as he wiped a few beads of sweat from his forehead.

”Thank you, Senior.”

Shortly after expressing his gratitude, Leon flew into the old building and stood atop the sturdy branches. A single steel ingot appeared in his hand before it grew hot rapidly and melted.

Leon had a casual look like he was not holding molten steel but warm water in his hand. This level of heat did not affect him.

The molten steel was soon dripped through the gaps in the tree branches and rapidly cooled over the countless cracks inside the buildings.

He did not bring enough steel ingots to coat the entire building in metal, but this much work was enough to ensure that it was stable.

”It's done. There's no need to reinforce it further. If someone manages to slip past the guards and purposely destroy the building, it would all be naught anyway.” Leon stated after he finished applying simple reinforcements.

”Before something like that can happen, all that is left to do now is… deactivate the array.”

To be exact, deactivate the array and modify it to save the vengeful spirit.
