271 Emir’s Transformation (1/2)

Amaryll's carriage was a variant of the Jewel of Don and though it couldn't be compared to the Jewel, it was still a fancy carriage to travel in style and comfort.

It took a few hours to reach Emir from Sigalla through the Outerlands and if there wasn't Korrinth in between Agoria and Emir, their travel distance would have been reduced further.

And before Amaryll could answer Amber, her face froze at the sight before her. Currently, they were standing at the border of the capital and unlike Amber's previous visit to Emir, now the kingdom looked full of life.No one could say that Emir was a dry barren land after laying their hands on the beautiful water fountains and the green sprouts of grass sticking their heads out of the brown soil.

Carefully placed marble stone formed elegant roads throughout the streets and tree saplings decorated the roads with the presence.

”Look mama! The king's people are here”

From the distance, a little boy called out for his mother pointing his little finger at Amaryll and the black-armored men behind her. There was no fear in his eyes but full of joy and the people walking on the street quickly bowed their heads with happy smiles on their faces.

”They look happy”

Amber noticed the admiration and respect in their eyes as she said

”Of course they are, we did root the water spirit for them after all”

Amber felt genuinely happy for these people because she knew first hand how devastating it would be to live in a dry land without any water source. Fortunately for them, they were getting the much-needed water from Agoria in gigantic balloons filled with water. And after they complete the dam, they could get a steady water flow and her mother could take a rest considering she was constantly opening portals connecting Agoria and Sigalla.

”Lady Amaryll”

”Your Royal highness, Amber”

The people kept bowing towards Amaryll and Amber while they were strolling through the street.

”5 coppers for Cinnamon buns!”

”3 coppers for freshly brewed ale!”

”10 Silver discount on any swords!”

The food merchants and the blacksmiths were shouting with full of life standing before their stores. If it was a year ago, the people wouldn't have entered the stores but now, the stores were crowded with people, especially all the stores that sell food because of the upcoming winter.

”Even the air feels cool”

”It's because of the water spirit nearby, we have rooted it on empty lands over there, behind that construction site”

Amaryll pointed at the busy construction site a hundred meters away. The construction site and the surrounding area were loaded with black armored guards. When Amber was about to take a step in the direction of the construction site, Amaryll grabbed her hand and stopped her.

”Not even you?!”

Amaryll just giggled looking at her shocked expression

”Yes, not even me, now come on, the tour is not finished”

Amaryll led Amber through the streets filled with the chitter-chatter of the crowd and the smell of freshly baked goods. The crowd quickly moved aside and paved them the way to pass through when they noticed the black-armored men and Amaryll. The capital now separated into several distinct blocks. At the moment, there were separate blocks for blacksmiths, food stalls, and everything related to food. The dwarves were constructing houses for everyone living in the capital in a block near the lake that was far from all the noises of the business area.

The two-story houses in the distance gave an elegant charm to the city and Amber was surprised at the speed of their construction.

”So your army is also your engineers and workers?”

Amber asked Amaryll after noticing that many of their construction sites had black-armored guards working alongside the civilian workers.

”Yes, it's not like we have a war to wage every single day, besides we need to finish building those houses before the winter begins, so its all hands on the deck situation for us”

While Amaryll was talking to Amber, a few black lines appeared on Amber's forehead as Amaryll stopped talking and looked at the place where Amber's gaze is at

”You have girls in your army?”
