230 To Sigalla in the Jewel (2/2)

”I want you to teach them to read and write, currently we can't build a sect or anything fancy, just use my castles”

”Hmm”

The old man stroked his beard, again.

”Teaching the commoners how to write and read, although it seems hard, it's not impossible, but your majesty, the commoners may show lack of interest to learn this, especially the villages who have to travel in the harsh weather to the castle every day”

”For a few silvers coins per week and a free hot bowl of meat porridge, they will”

Ukita agreed with him while Kayako and Nanbu'e eyes widened in surprise. Ukita knew that there are three things someone needs in this world to make a change, Power, Wealth, and Youth and he had all these three as well as the intent to make a change in this world. However Ukita was not stupid, he knew there's a hidden intention behind Don every action, but he believed that everything would happen for a reason.

”I ordered Joel to buy the fastest carriage in the market, so you can travel between Emir and Agoria without wasting time on the road”

Unfortunately, Korrinth was located in between Agoria and Emir and Harold had been charging a ridiculously high amount of tax from the travelers or people who were traveling to Emir or Agoria through his kingdom. Because of that many refugees who had the intention to come to Agoria or Emir had to travel through the outerlands to reach Don's kingdom. If he could conquer Korrinth, he can unite the three kingdoms into a huge land and take the castle in Korrinth and rule the three kingdoms without traveling back and forth.

But until he had the strength to face and defeat the Cold Moon Palace, he must let Harold do whatever he wants.

”Alright, I leave you three to your tasks”

As he said, Don stood up from his throne and left the throne hall towards the teleportation array hall.

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

”Your majesty, Lady Reghys”

When Don entered the throne hall, he saw Lord Clemo was waiting for him there with a big book in his hand.

”This book contains all the details of the citizens plus the refugees in Agoria and Emir, your majesty”

Before Don returned to Everlight, he ordered Lord Clemo to put together a list of details such as names, age, special talents, current job, and their ambition of the people in Emir and Agoria. He assigned Arrora's men, the guards in Agoria to help Lord Clemo in Agoria and ordered Warren to get this information in Emir and give it to Lord Clemo.

”Good, Amaryll and Uncle Dior will look into this, stay here and help them”

”Your majesty, are you going somewhere?”

”Yes, I have to go to Sigalla and check how's Princess Amber doing”

Just as he was about to let out a grin, Lord Clemo saw Arwen walking towards them.

”Your majesty, we brought your carriage”

He didn't order Joel to buy one carriage but two, one for Ukita and one for him. The one he bought for him had been modified by the dwarves and enhanced with runes by Nikalas. Thirbig and Nikalas took a long time with the carriage as Ken didn't have time to work his magic on the carriage but he promised that he would fit the carriage with the weapons of his time.

”Let's go then”

Don gestured at Arwen to lead the way as Reghys and Lord Clemo followed him behind.

And when Lord Clemo stepped outside, he was astonished as he saw Don's new carriage.

The carriage resembled a fancy house; the carriage was thrice the size of the current royal carriage as it had twelve wheels and pulled by six horned horses that were only second to the pegasus in speed and power.

The carriage itself was painted in Don's favorite black and edges, windows were decorated with silver and gold. The runes on the carriage made it nearly weightless so the horses could pull it without much effort. The carriage had two towers on the top of it for two archers and even the driver seat looked fancy with its silk cushion.

”What do you think, Don? Do you like the Jewel”

Reghys looked proud as Don realized that she too contributed to modifying the carriage.

”I gave something to them that made this carriage impenetrable”

A while ago he was attacked by poison arrows and the carriage didn't provide much protection to him as the carriage was riddled with arrows.

However, under the wood and metal of the carriage, it was shielded with Reghys's golden scales. Reghys's scales were just as strong as Azrite and compared to the Azrite, they were lighter.

Since she reached the heavenly level, her dragon form grew enormously bigger, so with a bunch of scales, the dwarves shielded the carriage without even leaving a spot.

”Soon I'll train a new driver, your majesty, until then, I will be your driver”

Arwen seemed very excited with a grin on his face as Don knew that he couldn't wait to drive the Jewel himself.

Before and behind the Jewel, there were four more long carriages for the black armored men and the archers to provide security to Don. With the carriages, the soldiers didnt have to walk and stall Don's carriage.

”See you later, Lord Clemo”

Don said and walked towards the Jewel as the black-armored men opened the door.

”Have a pleasant journey and give my regards to Princess Amber, your majesty”
