Logan finally saw the large walls of his growing town as he exited the forest.
Guards were stationed every ten ters, and long towers were built to spot monsters from a distance.
He noticed one of the beacons light up.
The soldiers had not yet seen Silis's new form and were probably alerting the others of an incoming enemy.
Logan took out his own beacon to send a signal that everything was fine, and the soldiers who had begun to form a line near the wall returned to their normal positions.
"Silis, you almost caused an uproar," Logan chuckled as he led his beasts inside.
As he got closer to the gate, he waved at the soldiers who welcod him back.
They were well-disciplined but kind and did their best to maintain order in the new town.
As Logan entered, he saw how the small shacks that were previously scattered throughout the land had been transford into functional buildings with a concrete base and wooden first floor.
Each one looked like an exact replica of one another, as they were made in a hurry.
A straight wide street ran through the middle of town, guiding anyone who entered directly to his estate.
His new mansion was created with magic, and in less than a week he moved from the small building he had initially arrived at into the large three-story building.
It had a luxurious look to anyone who spotted it from a distance.
Logan, of course, was not the one who ordered such a thing to be built, but was told it was better for a lord to show his wealth to improve public opinion.
His previous house was now ant for the servants, and each of his monsters was given a large enough barn for them to enjoy while resting.
As he passed by various houses, he saw how the population of his town had grown from a small village with no more than 30 people into a dium-sized town of more than 300.
Many immigrants from nearby villages and families of both rchants and soldiers now called it ho.
Adventurers also ca after the winter snow lted to hunt the various large beasts around the town and start exploring the nearby areas for zones to mine, local treasures, and hopefully a nearby labyrinth that could appear near mana-rich areas.
Logan did not know how it got to this state. He had Chloe and Kai helping him with these matters.
Of course, he did his best to check through everything that was happening after training, sothing he would no doubt have to do after arriving at the mansion.
For Logan, the most important task was to enter the supposed crystal cave and see if he could use the crystals to improve not only his town but also to enhance his beasts that needed the mana to grow stronger.

Luckily, he was only days away from making the great expedition towards the cave and wanted all his beasts ready for when they needed to go into the crystal mine.
All they really needed now was Valeria's signal to form a group and enter.
For this, Logan would also need his worm and mole, which had also been improved to a certain extent.
Logan made the townsfolk create a bigger fuss as his giant serpent slithered through the center of town.
Yet, no one was scared, as they obviously knew who owned such a beast.
He passed the rchant district, an intersection that created a cross between the gate and the mansion.
To the left of this large street, a bustling market stretched for a kiloter on one side.
On the right side, the governnt and ergency response buildings, a new magic tower, a large adventurers guild, and finally a large church were built.
So inns and taverns were spaced between each large building to provide food and a resting spot for all those who ca to visit or needed a good drink.
As for the barracks and new training grounds, they were to the left of his mansion, the only large land that could be given.
This was also to keep that area safe, as it was near the lands that contained Logan's weakest animals that, if hurt, could also damage Logan.
Now that spring had arrived, everyone used normal clothing, storing the heavy winter coats and pelts to be used next winter.
Logan did not want to see people in poverty, at least not in his little town, so he had clothing readied for most of the townspeople.
He did not want discrimination.
So far, everything was going great.
His people enjoyed the growing economy his town was experiencing, especially when almost 100% of the residents had a job.
Logan knew this would not last if he did not find another way to bring in the money he needed to sustain the town.
Logan was almost reaching his mansion when he saw soone he did not expect to et standing near the entrance.
It was a stout, muscular boy, one he had only known by looks, as it was one of his classmates.
He tried to rember the boys na until he recalled it being Ruben, other than that Logan did not know the boy.
"Hello…Ruben?" Logan said as the boy kept looking at his raptor with awe before turning serious.
"Logan, right? I rember you would always cover your face, so I am not sure… but I need a favor. My master has been taken…" Ruben said, with sadness and pain in his voice.
"Master? Don't tell you got enslaved…" Logan said while confused.
"What? No my master, my ntor, teacher whatever you want to call it, he would tell to call him master, but enough about that I need to find him, I received word he was here!" Ruben cried out in desperation.
"I wouldn't know, I haven't had ti to check the new blacksmith shops…" Logan replied.
"I checked he is not one of them, I need your help to find him though, I will do anything man!" Rubén began to cry making Logan have to jump down from Scorch to try calming the boy.
"Alright let's go inside to see what's happening here…"
