"Okay, now that that's out of the way, I'd like to bring forward another topic. I'll be leaving for the mountains in a day or two," Lucius announced.
Five days had already passed since he t Crenog, and the tournant it spoke of would soon begin.
"The mountains? Why?" Ghost asked.
"There is a tournant taking place there, it'll do well for foreign relations. We could gain valuable allies and connections by sending a small delegation, as such I'll be taking a few representatives as well," he said.
"Count in," Hannibal, Alpha, Ghost, and Pagan shouted simultaneously.
"Pagan and Alpha, you two can't go because you'll be going into evolution soon. I wouldn't want to stall that just because of this," Lucius replied.
They had defeated expressions on their faces, but they knew he was right. To slow down their evolution for who knows how long would be detrintal to the growth of the commune.
"As for you Hannibal, you're about to evolve soon as well, and on top of that, I feel you'll benefit more from studying so of my mories. I'll pass them onto you in the tree, and you can look over them whilst I'm gone," he continued.
If he could grasp so key concepts from Earth it would speed up the commune's rate of developnt.
"Ghost, you'll be coming with ," Lucius said finally.
"Sorry guys, it seems its finally my turn," she said in a pitying voice, though everyone could tell it was mockery from the annoying grin on her face.
"As for the first watch, you guys are banned from going on external missions. Defense of the camp is the most important mission of all, and that will require everything you guys have with all our big guns gone," he said now looking towards them.
"As such, I'll be giving you guys your first mission. Each of you are to achieve a stat count of 250 before I leave," he continued.
"I pity you," Pagan whispered, glad that he would not have to go through all that.
"To help you all with that, you'll be following a training regi. Morning training session with Alpha to build up those stats through exercise. An afternoon session with for combat training. And an evening session of sparring to put everything into practice," Lucius said, to which everyone nodded in agreent.
"I'll allocate buildings to each departnt to act as a base of operations. The mushrooms we collected yesterday should be enough," Lucius said in question, looking towards Pagan.
"Indeed, Lighted One," Pagan replied.
"Ahh, Alpha, perhaps you should instruct Eleanour on what her duties as Vice Premier will be since you'll be helping the Warring Departnt with its current mission," Lucius said, looking toward Alpha.
"And Hannibal perhaps you should give your mbers to Asclepius for the day," he added, now looking at Hannibal.
Once the talks were over, the leaf beings were brought back inside the hall and told to go to their respective Premiers. Since the F and C Departnt was yet to choose a Premier, it fell upon Lucius to direct their operations.
"You guys follow , I want to show you sothing," Lucius said, gesturing for the mbers of his group to follow him toward the Radiant Tree.
"The skill I am about to showcase is called Elmando, it'll be the most used skill within this departnt. You will eat and sleep using Elmando," he said, before pointing toward the storage do.
"That do is the materials storage do, watch carefully what's about to happen," he added before touching the Radiant Tree.
Using the enhanced Elmando he created 4 new dos for each of the Departnts, all the while the leaf-beings gawked in disbelief.
Once Lucius was done, all the leaf beings in the F and C departnt stared at him with puppy eyes.
"What's going on?" Lucius asked, completely confused.
"Can we try?" one of them asked.
"Ahh, you'll need nas to get the skill. Sorry little one," Lucius said apologetically.
"When do we get nas?" another asked.
"Resources are tight right now, so I can only give them to those who I'm sure will use them to their full capacity. You could even get them today, depending on how well you do your tasks," Lucius replied.
"Then give us our tasks, what are we waiting for?" another leaf being added. He knew this voice, it was the leafling that sounded like a flat-earther.
"Your task for today will be to learn the structure of the dos. I want all of you to be able to tell in great detail, the inside and out of the dos," Lucius said with a smile.
For now, the only thing they could do was learn. If they could ingrain the structures in their mind, then building using Elmando would beco easier for them.
"On it!" the conspiracist shouted, running towards the nearest building. The others were still confused, before quickly realizing this was essentially a race to see who could learn it first, as the spot for Premier was still open.
"Well, at least it's motivated," Lucius whispered to himself before walking towards the other Departnts to show them to their respective dos.
Once everyone had delegated tasks to their respective departnts, the group prepared carts to set off on their little operation.
"Ghost, you should hang around the Internal Security guys, get those stat points up for the tournant," Lucius instructed before they left.

"Lighted One, I wanted to ask about the new spell," Pagan said as he drove his cart to move alongside Lucius's.
"The satellite, huh," Lucius replied, looking ahead to make sure that no undead would spot them trying to sneak around the necromancer's camp.
"The information I was fed is a bit confusing. It says that the moon gets its light from the sun, but how is that possible if they are never up at the sa ti?" Pagan asked.
~I see,~ Lucius thought to himself. Casting the spell would require so understanding of astronomy. Without that, imagining such a thing would probably seem absurd.
"I'll pass a few mories to you once we get back. Hopefully, that will be enough," he replied.
"Also I wanted to ask if you could use that spell during the day," Pagan continued, his voice tinged with excitent.
"Hmm," Lucius whispered, removing his solar crux, before easing it to its light blue state. Once that was done, he cast solar satellite, creating a miniature moon that orbited around his main crux.
