The three of them left the room and were watching over the soldiers in the training hall as Kayako and Nanbu seed surprised by his answer.
"We can revive the Clear Lake Sect and it'll be ours with a new identity and with so old faces, Catalie, send them here"
Just as he said, Nanbu and Kayako turned to see a group of people appear out of nowhere inside the training hall.
"Eliot!, Linda!"
Kayako recognized them imdiately, they were her students of the Clear Lake Sect.
"HEADMISTRESS!"
The female students scread in a high pitch as they ran towards Kayako like puppies running to their mother.
They leaped at her and hugged her tightly as Kayako held them tightly while tears of joys flowed out of her eyes.
The male student did not scream like their fellow female students, still, they couldn't hold back the tears when they embraced Nanbu.
Knight gave them a few monts to have a happy reunion and waited for them. And unexpectedly when Kayako released her students from the hug, she jumped at him as she hugged him while crying in joy.
"Thank you...thank you so much"
Knight was surprised as he gently patted her on the back
"It's okay, I'm sure you will return this favor"
After a few monts, she let go of him as Knight noticed that Nanbu is ready to give him another hug
"Let's shake hands"
Kayako wiped away her tears and smiled while Nanbu shook Knight's hand.
********************************
"What do you think of your alchemy hall, Kayako?"
Don asked Kayako while leisurely sitting on his throne.
After showing the scrolls to Kayako and Nanbu, Knight showed Kayako her new workplace and the herbs he 'retrieved' from the ancient dungeon.
The hall Knight showed her made her previous working place look like a beggar's hut. The hall was fitted with high-quality apparatuses, tubes, furnaces, and everything an alchemist could wish for.
And when she was looking at the hall with sparkling eyes, Knight almost gave her another heart attack as he showered her with rare and priceless herbs. She only knew most of the herbs from books and scrolls.
"I've never even dread of having such a place to work, your majesty"
"I'm going to give you so hard jobs, so you need the best place to work "
"But, your majesty"
She was still traumatized by the failure to concoct Weludin and she didn't want to waste those precious herbs
"Don't worry, mistakes happen, there's no success without failure, you will do just fine, believe in yourself"
Ukita and Nanbu patted her on back and looking at their faith in her, she slowly nodded.
Although he and Knight had stolen a ton of healing potions from various places in the divine continent, they were not infinite as he needed to produce more healing potions for his army. And the only one who could be trusted with this task was this druid, Kayako.
"I will your majesty"
Don nodded and looked at Nanbu
"Nanbu, Knight gave you full access to the Apex right?"
Nanbu didn't know much about this device but he guessed that the device must be the reason for their heaven-defying cultivation speed.
"Do everything Knight and Reghys tell you to do, I want you to reach the grandmaster level asap before you start teaching to our n"
Except for Ukita, Kayako and Nanbu was shocked to hear him
"With full access to the apex and the resources we have, it's not a big deal to break through to the grandmaster level"
"I will do my best, your majesty"
Nanbu was taught to value the authority in his sect by the previous elders and even though Don was much younger than him, he was the king as well the person Nanbu swore his loyalty to, so he respected him more than the amount of loyalty he had towards him.
"Ukita, I have the most important and burdenso task for you"
Ukita nodded with a gentle smile
"At the mont, more than half of the people in my kingdom don't know how to read or write, I'm planning to change this because I heard the nobles and rchants had swindled them using their weakness before"
Unexpectedly Ukita's grin widened before even Don could finish what he wanted to tell the old man
"I want you to teach them to read and write, currently we can't build a sect or anything fancy, just use my castles"
"Hmm"
The old man stroked his beard, again.
"Teaching the commoners how to write and read, although it seems hard, it's not impossible, but your majesty, the commoners may show lack of interest to learn this, especially the villages who have to travel in the harsh weather to the castle every day"
"For a few silvers coins per week and a free hot bowl of at porridge, they will"
Ukita agreed with him while Kayako and Nanbu'e eyes widened in surprise. Ukita knew that there are three things soone needs in this world to make a change, Power, Wealth, and Youth and he had all these three as well as the intent to make a change in this world. However Ukita was not stupid, he knew there's a hidden intention behind Don every action, but he believed that everything would happen for a reason.
"I ordered Joel to buy the fastest carriage in the market, so you can travel between Emir and Agoria without wasting ti on the road"
Unfortunately, Korrinth was located in between Agoria and Emir and Harold had been charging a ridiculously high amount of tax from the travelers or people who were traveling to Emir or Agoria through his kingdom. Because of that many refugees who had the intention to co to Agoria or Emir had to travel through the outerlands to reach Don's kingdom. If he could conquer Korrinth, he can unite the three kingdoms into a huge land and take the castle in Korrinth and rule the three kingdoms without traveling back and forth.
But until he had the strength to face and defeat the Cold Moon Palace, he must let Harold do whatever he wants.
"Alright, I leave you three to your tasks"
As he said, Don stood up from his throne and left the throne hall towards the teleportation array hall.
***********************************
"Your majesty, Lady Reghys"
When Don entered the throne hall, he saw Lord Clemo was waiting for him there with a big book in his hand.
"This book contains all the details of the citizens plus the refugees in Agoria and Emir, your majesty"
Before Don returned to Everlight, he ordered Lord Clemo to put together a list of details such as nas, age, special talents, current job, and their ambition of the people in Emir and Agoria. He assigned Arrora's n, the guards in Agoria to help Lord Clemo in Agoria and ordered Warren to get this information in Emir and give it to Lord Clemo.
"Good, Amaryll and Uncle Dior will look into this, stay here and help them"
"Your majesty, are you going sowhere?"
"Yes, I have to go to Sigalla and check how's Princess Amber doing"
Just as he was about to let out a grin, Lord Clemo saw Arwen walking towards them.
"Your majesty, we brought your carriage"
He didn't order Joel to buy one carriage but two, one for Ukita and one for him. The one he bought for him had been modified by the dwarves and enhanced with runes by Nikalas. Thirbig and Nikalas took a long ti with the carriage as Ken didn't have ti to work his magic on the carriage but he promised that he would fit the carriage with the weapons of his ti.
"Let's go then"
Don gestured at Arwen to lead the way as Reghys and Lord Clemo followed him behind.
And when Lord Clemo stepped outside, he was astonished as he saw Don's new carriage.
The carriage resembled a fancy house; the carriage was thrice the size of the current royal carriage as it had twelve wheels and pulled by six horned horses that were only second to the pegasus in speed and power.
The carriage itself was painted in Don's favorite black and edges, windows were decorated with silver and gold. The runes on the carriage made it nearly weightless so the horses could pull it without much effort. The carriage had two towers on the top of it for two archers and even the driver seat looked fancy with its silk cushion.
"What do you think, Don? Do you like the Jewel"
Reghys looked proud as Don realized that she too contributed to modifying the carriage.
"I gave sothing to them that made this carriage impenetrable"
A while ago he was attacked by poison arrows and the carriage didn't provide much protection to him as the carriage was riddled with arrows.
However, under the wood and tal of the carriage, it was shielded with Reghys's golden scales. Reghys's scales were just as strong as Azrite and compared to the Azrite, they were lighter.
Since she reached the heavenly level, her dragon form grew enormously bigger, so with a bunch of scales, the dwarves shielded the carriage without even leaving a spot.
"Soon I'll train a new driver, your majesty, until then, I will be your driver"
Arwen seed very excited with a grin on his face as Don knew that he couldn't wait to drive the Jewel himself.
Before and behind the Jewel, there were four more long carriages for the black armored n and the archers to provide security to Don. With the carriages, the soldiers didnt have to walk and stall Don's carriage.
"See you later, Lord Clemo"
Don said and walked towards the Jewel as the black-armored n opened the door.
"Have a pleasant journey and give my regards to Princess Amber, your majesty"
