Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Chapter 569 - Let's Build Three Cities Then

"Damn! That was intense," Arthur cursed out loud while standing out from the depth of the crater. The next moment he took out a bunch of healing and replenishing pills and consumed them in one go.

'That was much worse than I expected,' the golden dragon apologized.

'Ding! I found the scale.'

'Me too.'

"Good," Arthur flapped his wings before he reached the surface. There he sat on the ground while resting for a few minutes, waiting for the effect of the pills to kick off.

'Ding! This scale is very hard to deal with,' the system said, 'Ding! I tried to test it but the next instant it camouflaged itself inside your soul like it was part of it.'

'I think the only way to sacrifice it is by cutting part of your soul.'

Arthur felt some pain from this mere suggestion. "C'mon Gege, what have I done for you to treat me this bad?" he sighed as he already was aware of how painful and detrimental such an act would be.

'Don't worry, I have another way around,' the golden dragon said, 'but it won't like you either.'

"Why?" Arthur asked with much curiosity, "will I die for it to succeed?" he sneered but the silence that followed made him stop smiling. "C'mon, don't be ridiculous!"

'Well, it's in theory not like that indeed,' the golden dragon cleared his throat before adding, 'but to succeed you must evolve your energy once more by absorbing a silver dragon essence and evolve your power once more.'

Arthur understood his meaning before saying: "Keep on…"

'During the past evolution, your soul was opened and magnified. Anything that's alien there can be found… and hunted down.'

"You want me to rage a war inside my soul?" Arthur was speechless there for a moment before adding, "this might…"

'Kill you, of course, but temporarily.'

"Damn!" Arthur cursed again before he felt some power regenerating inside his body, "alright, this plan will take much time to accomplish. Let's put it on hold for now, ok?"

'As you say,' the golden dragon said, 'also if there is a much better plan than this then we can use it.'

"Indeed," Arthur didn't put much hope on that alternative. First of all he wasn't very deep in the soul matters, and it seemed from the silence of the other two in his mind that they didn't have any clue about what to do.

"Let's…" he paused before shaking off his head to shake off this thought, "let's go first and find ourselves a good place to establish a city."

He flew in the sky and sent a bird's wing to Amelia. She informed him that they had found three suitable places but couldn't decide which one would be best.

"Let all gather at this one," he sent back while selecting a place without thinking much about it. "Last time I started a city, this time let's start three."

He reached the place where Amelia and others were waiting for him. He glanced at the place, it was slightly resembling the city he established before; lying under the mountain.

"Is this the place?" he asked while glancing all around.

"No my lord," Deem politely answered, "it's there," he pointed towards the great mountain lying behind.

"The mountain?" he glanced weirdly at Deem and he nodded. "You must be crazy, right?" Arthur smiled before turning into a human as he glanced deeply towards the mountain.

"There are two other locations he also chose," Amelia said before adding, "but they are also like this one here."

Arthur glanced in a much weirder way to Deem who embarrassedly laughed. "If it was up to me, I would rather select two mountains to build our cities there."

"Why is that?" Arthur asked with a calm smile over his face.

"These three spots are the three angles of a giant Ley Lines map. This map is naturally formed and it's like a big natural diagram. Can you imagine how such a diagram would be if used properly and activated for defense and offense?"

"You are crazy indeed to think this way," Arthur sighed before suddenly laughing, "but I'm much crazier than you."

"My lord's meaning…" Deem asked while he hesitated to believe what his mind told him.

"We will establish three cities here," Arthur simply said before adding, "let's establish a mighty base for us here and turn this place into such an invincible fort that no one can incade or shake no matter what."

"But…" Amelia was about to object but the next thing happened was the approach of the three flying girls along with a long army of villagers following them on the ground from far.

"This is only the beginning," Arthur said before turning towards Agnus, "I believe your men can build us advanced tools to use in making our three cities faster, right?"

Agnus nodded with a serious look over his face. "Great," Arthur clasped his hands before adding, "let's start building then. I'll take out everyone inside and with those from this world we can hasten building the cities, right?"

Amelia hesitated and Deem only nodded before he heard the most troublesome question from Arthur. "How long will it take?"

"I…"

"Just give me a rough estimation," Arthur said when he noticed how startled Deem looked when he asked him this one.

"Roughly one to two months."

"Agnus," Arthur turned to Agnus before adding, "I'll depend on your brilliant mind and great inventions to shorten such time into one to two weeks top."

Agnus felt the great pressure over him already but he only nodded and said nothing back.

"Brilliant," Arthur then turned to the three girls with the large army of villagers on the ground, "I'll keep myself and the girls busy to scout the area around and bring forth anyone of help."

He then turned to Amelia as he added, "I'll entrust defending here to you, alright?"

"If you brought those legions up, then I can do it," she simply answered and he only smiled and nodded.
