Chapter 62

Melanie felt good after watching this scene because she was quite irritated with Vlad as he was hogging all the time for training however she still understood it was the need of the hour for John to become strong as there were dangerous undercurrents going on in Aelius . So it was always better to become strong yourself rather than relying on others in critical situations as history always proved that your own strength mattered most in critical times whether it was Arkon, earth or other worlds .

After watching Melanie’s mocking smile as if she knew this was expected when John bought up certain changes,

Vlad coughed a bit and remarked to everyone present, "Well it still doesn’t change the fact that I created this technique from the scratch"

This became a new normal in the mansion nowadays whether it was John, Jake, Diana or for the other servants when both of them bickered and ranted against each other .

"Anyway, John would you mind if I look at the changes you made in the technique?"

John replied to him, "Nope, I don’t mind, you can take a look at it, I only made changes where I felt it was good after practical observations . "

After looking through the technique carefully, Vlad practiced a bit and gave his opinions as he made some conclusions, "As expected, there were a lot of changes but this only improved the performance and efficiency of this technique, I wonder why I wasn’t able to notice such small changes . I gained quite a lot from this training session, maybe I should give you more techniques where you can help me improve it, haha . " Vlad Joked as he commented on the technique .

These changes in the technique were only noticed after a lot of the problems were accumulated which showed practical results to them after the changes in a lot of things .

Vlad signaled Jake and called him to practice John’s current technique as he felt it was a better version .

"Jake practice this technique from now on, I feel that you will be able to improve and notice a lot more changes from the current version . "

Vlad then looked at John seriously said to him, "You are quite capable when it comes to hand to hand combat, most of the veterans would have died in your hands, I came to this conclusion only after our last spar . Many people wouldn’t be able to execute magic the way you did it your last combat with perfect timing even after years of training . Did you practice that all by yourself?"

"I myself took 1 whole year to incorporate magic with physical combat and I was quite proud of it when I was able to achieve it . At your current level, you are already better than most of the magic knights that I know, only the veterans would be this good at perfect coordination of magic and hand to hand combat . However, from what I know they only focus mainly on incorporating their magic with physical combat so they are somewhat better than magicians in a scenario of battlefield or war . "

This was the first time that John had heard about the training methods of Magic Knights and how they only focused on incorporating magic with combat for better results .

"However I noticed one peculiar thing when you were using magic, you were able to use a lot of elements when we were sparring . Can you tell me what other types of magic you know?"

John thought for a bit and said to Vlad, "Well my main attribute is Space magic but I am also capable of performing low-level magic of other elements"

Vlad shivered at the thought of John using space magic if he mastered it perfectly . He thought about John’s answer and gave his opinion, "So that was one of the reasons why you were able to use multiple magical elements however isn’t it hard to master multiple magic even if you have multiple elements in your body . It took me two years just to master Water magic as my main attribute is dark magic . "

Vlad had a small smile on his face when said this, "Anyway it’s ok, from now on we will change the type of training for both of you guys . You guys will be hunting on the field in the wilds from now on . . . "

John could understand a lot of meaning when heard the word ’Wilds’ from Vlad, he thought, ’I guess it would be hunting of Various individual’s and special beasts when he says hunting in the wilds’

After this spar, Jake spent double of his time on training, unlike John who had to First spend the time to learn Potioneering and then handle all the matters of North-frontier City . During these days, Vlad also focused more on Jake as he liked his diligent attitude to improve himself every second . Jake’s intensity of training was increasing after each phase . These days he had a different look on his face unlike the past self when Vlad originally met him .

A lot of officials and other people in the Mansion could notice this change from Jake when they saw him recently . When Taylor saw him he understood, a lot had changed after Jake decided to train with Vlad and John . However, he was understood that if you gain something, you would eventually lose something .

As John had time constraints these days, he could only dedicate the allocated time agreed between Melanie and Vlad . Nevertheless, Vlad was satisfied as he knew that John was improving at an alarming speed after he started his training . He even thought he would teach John everything in the first 6 months because of the huge grasping power of John whether it was theoretical or practical .

Vlad even had a look at John’s Six senses Refining technique recently and now he understood why both John and Jake had high reaction speeds compared to normal people .

Vlad thought as he looked the Six senses refining technique, ’No wonder he was able to block both of my attacks in our last spar, part of it was related to this technique and another part of it was related to his naturally high reactions . ’

During these days Diana was busy touring all of the places in North-frontier town as Vlad was busy training both John and Jake these days, However, Maurice and a part of her guard squad always escorted her .

When Diana left for the Market, Taylor asked one of her guards, "Don’t you think it would be dangerous for Miss Diana to travel without Mr . Vlad in a different country?"

These days the Guards and some of the servants from the Mansion were already familiar with each other .

The guard thought for a bit and decided to answer him as he smiled,

He first pointed at Maurice who was Diana’s Maid, then said to him, "You look at her and you may think she is a little lamb but when it comes to hiding her fangs, she is very capable . As a personal maid of Miss Diana, she needs to be proficient in multiple techniques from cooking to combat to deal with differing situations . "

Taylor showed an understanding gaze when he heard the guard’s explanation and understood why they weren’t worried whenever they traveled outside these days .

On Diana’s recommendation, John decided to make a luxurious Restaurant as he thought it wouldn’t cost him a lot anyway . Martha was in charge of the Restaurant, it was named, ’Hope’, this name was given by Martha because it had multiple meanings . She named it Hope because customers could always find hope for good cuisine whenever they visited the place . This was also the place where she found hope after experiencing hell in the past few months and hence multiple connotations .

John thought that since they were going to anyway make a restaurant he thought to make it the most famous restaurant for their variety of cuisines so he supplied Martha with various other recipes, it included cuisines from all around the world from earth .

This would also promote people’s interest in experimenting more with food and increase the variety of cuisine available to everyone .

When the restaurant was done he said to Martha, "Make sure to hire multiple people who are involved in the cooking industry, I hope to make this world’s best restaurant and since we already have enough recipes, you have to make sure to promote people trying and experimenting new things when making food . "

Cooks of Hope restaurant were able to imitate a lot of recipes but from now on they also engaged in their own experiments as they tried to make new types of food .

These days Diana frequented ’Hope’ a lot as she liked the food from there . As this restaurant was personally funded by John, a lot of traders as well frequented this restaurant . It slowly gained popularity among the Merchant circles after a few days .

This also indirectly promoted the Food culture of North-frontier Town . These days John had intentionally spread some of his cooking methods in the North-frontier town via Martha so that people could have a variety of food and taste new experiences . This would in the end inevitably be associated with North-frontier Town later on .

Inside the Mansion, Taylor was serving John for his lunch and giving updated reports .

Taylor gave his report like he normally gives to John as he handed over a document to him, "Master, all the preparations for the cement factory has been completed and Gordon has already made enough preparations for the current project of maintaining the roads, these are the plans he has made and wanted to show it to you before he started the project . "

John looked at the plans Gordon had made,

John then said Taylor, "Plan for the maintenance is good but he hasn’t considered the possibility of Beasts or Bandits attacking them when they worked so he also needs to get some guards for protection when construction reaches the middle phases . Anyway, it was because of his lack of experience that he didn’t consider this possibility, make sure to remind him that he needs to take the safety of people working in the project as one of his main priorities .

Taylor assured and continued with his current report, "I will make sure to remind him of the current flaws of his current plan . Tornwall recently reported that he already completed the construction of the forge and now they are fully focusing on making the prototype of Ballista which was shown by lord earlier . "

"Quite unexpected, I didn’t think it would finish this early . "

Taylor replied, "Part of the reason was the supply of slaves from Morgan family which increased the speed of current projects and another reason is Villagers are actively recalling the people who left the village years ago so the current population of the town is increasing at an alarming rate however I have already taken the volume into consideration and bought enough food from other cities even if we face continuous influx of people . Recently, our paper making factory has started operations and their products have become quite popular which we distributed recently, how do we plan ahead about the policy of paper factory . ?"

John said after hearing, "Hmm . . . that’s good . As for the paper making factory, focus more internally now to supply our universities and schools with enough paper, we will focus on teaching all the people, whether they are slaves or not . Right now we will make a printing house, we will provide people in the literature field to publish their works . "

Taylor was confused when he heard the word printing for the first time, John realized and explained to him, "Make stamps of all the characters(alphabets) and this way we can make a printing house so it would be more convenient to spread more works with less work . I guess I will have to show you how to make it . "

John then made the designs of a big printer that could be made in this era, John planned on making a printing house because he hoped to use this to attract more people in the literature field to North-frontier Town . Because recently Eva was not able to attract more influential people so he thought about it and came up with a printing house as one of the solutions for this matter . Earlier, he hadn’t thought that increased wages and salaries weren’t the things which would attract them . What they wanted most was the influence .

John understood that in this era, they lacked books and his printing house could be a solution to spread more of their works easily and faster . This way John knew that he could also control how information spreads in Aelius and attract more people to North-frontier town .

As a man from the modern age, he understood the importance of media so he wanted to make a firm foothold as he made plans for making the printing house . however, he understood that people in power would inevitably imitate him and make their own printing houses to control the flow of information as they realized its importance .
