355 New, wonderfull world (1/2)
”Okay then, since no one is acting like a crybaby, let's go inside.”
Turning around once again, I was about to step inside the boundaries of the influence of my tower, only to get actually pulled inside by Heila instead. Looking at the excited look on her face, I could guess why she was soo eager to get back there.
It was a pity that with how I began my adventure with magic and energy, I had no way to feel the same sensations that all the people did when they stepped inside. With our example, I could see more and more malnourished people, turning back into their prime in a matter of seconds after following our steps inside the barrier.
”This is awesome!”
With my little toy once again running around in joy just like some kind of playful dog after being freed from the leash by its owner, I couldn't help but smile. If that was the way they reacted to just abundance of the energy in the air, I couldn't help but wonder what their faces would look like, or rather, how would they act upon seeing their new home!
”Everyone, I know how insane this feeling is, but we still have to reach your new home. Follow me.”
Leaving the matter of registering everyone to Bonger, I keep tabs at the energy counter of my stronghold. About the time where a third of the entire group entered the place, it started slowly falling down, as if something was taking the energy from the core, only to speed up with every next person entering the place, but before we even managed to reach the doors to the tower, it started climbing back to its previous state.
Taking a look around, I could see that most of the people stopped absorbing the mana as soon as their bodies regained their natural vigour, but for some reason, a small group randomly distributed amongst the entire unit continued to soak the energy like a sponge!
I guess it varies between them, depending on how strong they managed to get.
While this was only a theory, I had no way to confirm or deny it. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find any other sensible way to explain what was happening before my eyes!
And it wasn't like I could spend a lot of time doing so.
The sun was already setting, and it was a priority to get everyone inside the small world before the night would fall. Even with my upgraded senses, I didn't want to run around the place, collecting all those who lagged behind!
”Listen, guys. I think you know what to expect now, but keep in mind that this time, I won't leave after going inside. There is something I need to check inside, so just form a queue and make sure to step in one by one! Don't forget to get the canopies with you either!”
The air was already turning colder with every passing second. Even if all those people couldn't feel it after their bodies were forcefully fed the energy, it didn't mean that they wouldn't be affected by it. As soon as the excitement would die off, they would be once again subjected to the force of nature.
And I didn't want to start off the new community with half of them falling to the clutches of influenza!
