Harold was texting like crazy telling how with my display of power against Florick and my team's wiping out of the dragons on the outskirts of the city, the people who had left the auditorium were begging him to let them get in touch with .
It was nice to finally be recognized, but I figured that they didn't deserve a second chance. It was partially a respect thing, but also, I had more than enough girls now than I knew what to do with. I didn't need hundreds more.
I didn't want to completely turn them away though. So I had Harold tell them to show up for the battle with Lilith's army, to bring as many people as they can, and if they make a huge difference in the battle, I might choose one of their won.
He said that a lot of them jumped at that idea and promised to be there with an army of their own. That was one major problem solved. Even with my new girls, I would likely need a large amount of troops to win the battle.
When the girls, Shikasa, and I got to the Dragon Sect, it was deserted. Since no one owned them anymore, I took as many precious and valuable looking items out of the sect buildings as I could and put them in my inventory.
I even looted their vault and just emptied the whole thing into my inventory. Well, Midas just ate it all, but saying I put it in my inventory sounds more sophisticated than it actually was. He just om nom nom-ed all the gold and precious valuables into his infinite stomach.
There was actually a lot of jewelry in there and so of it had blue diamonds in them. I gave those to Hope to eat.
"Thank you, Dylan, sir!" She said as she shoveled blue diamonds into her mouth. It wasn't much, but it was sothing.
She tried to use her powers to generate the diamonds she ate into her hand, but she still couldn't do that. When an elental absorbs their elent, they should be able to grow or produce the elent with their body at will, but she couldn't.
It looked like I would need to cum in her still before she could activate her powers. Which sounds ridiculous, despite how real and important it was.
There were also a lot of regular diamonds that she couldn't eat or absorb for so reason. A lot of them. That gave an idea. I pulled up the system nu and selected the alchemy tab.
A tear in space ford in front of and Tommy showed up behind a shop counter looking contraption. There were alchemy supplies and products everywhere.
"Hey Dylan! My man! I still have no idea how you're doing this space warping shit, but I don't care! You're a paying custor, and that's all that matters. Well, and we're friends too, of course," Tommy said.
"Tommy, Tommy, Tommy. You were always more concerned with how much the band got paid than and Dan, so this totally tracks. I want to stock up on your new stuff, if you have any, and I'd like to make a custom order," I said.
"A custom order? Interesting. Sounds like a challenge. I love a good challenge. What do you need?" He said.
"I need you to figure out how to turn regular diamonds into blue diamonds. I have a girl on my team who is a blue diamond elental and she can only eat blue diamonds to get stronger. She can't eat regular ones, but I figured if you can transform them, she could get stronger much faster! Considering the fact that there just aren't enough natural blue diamonds in the world for her to absorb a significant amount of mass," I said.
"That is a challenge! You know, blue diamonds aren't too dissimilar from regular ones. They just have trace impurities of boron in their crystalline lattice structure. No one has ever done this before, but if I can break down the crystal structure and recrystallize the diamonds with boron impurities, she should be able to absorb them. Theoretically," Tommy said.
"That sounds fantastic! Please do that," I said.
"You don't happen have any diamonds on you right now do you? I need base diamonds and test diamonds if I'm going to do this," Tommy said. Continue your adventure with empire
"Oh, yeah, here you go!" I said.
I pulled out two large chests full of diamonds. They were about the size of stear trunks. They had diamonds of every size and possible setting, including so ancient looking settings that looked invaluable for their age and historical value.
And so of them were just massive in size, skyrocketing their overall value. So of the diamonds were the size of golf balls. They weren't as big as my balls, but they were big.
It was almost too bad to have to sacrifice so of them to just get lted or broken down sohow. So of them even seed magical in nature. Tommy read my mind though.
"So of these are far too precious to lt down. So of them might even be magical artifacts. I'll have to do so testing. There might be a way to maintain their magical effects while still undergoing the process. Where did you get all this stuff? This must be billions of dollars worth of diamonds!" Tommy said.
"The Dragon Sect's hoard. All of their assets are basically mine now," I said.
"How'd you manage that?" He said.
"They attacked one of my won, and I couldn't have that. So I killed them all," I said.
"Daaamn! You went straight dieval on their asses! I heard you say won. You have won now? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You were always good with the ladies, and now you're a supernaturally charming vampire dude. Of course won would be flocking to you!" Tommy said.
"Yes, I do have won, but it's not quite like that. So of them just adore , sure, but others want what I can offer them. So of them want power and so of them want belonging, and so of them want both," I said.
"I supposed that's fair. As long as you both benefit, I don't see the problem," he said. He pulled the massive diamond trunks through the spacial tear and behind the counter.
They were simply too heavy for him though, so I heard them slam against the ground as they fell off the other side of the counter and I heard diamonds spill everywhere.
"You saw and heard nothing!" Tommy said.
"What?" I said.
"Exactly," he said.
"By the way, I've been thinking of actually getting the band back together to play a fundraising show of sorts for the upcoming war against Lilith and her army. What would you think of adding a female guitarist and back up singer to the group?" I said.
"Interesting. I did hear about the war. Harold told . A fundraising and potentially troop raising effort, could be great for minimizing casualties in the war. Where are you getting this new band mber from? Who is she?" He said.
"Harold knows everybody!" I said.
"He really does," he said.
"A troop raising effort could be good too. I like that idea. I'm getting her from the dead. I'm bringing her back to life. She's an old friend of mine from before I t you and Dan," I said.
"You're bringing her back from the dead? That's righteous, bro! I love it when people reconnect with old friends. Yeah, she can join if she wants. Since she's dead, I assu you haven't talked to her about this yet," he said.
"Obviously, but knowing her she'll say yes as long as she doesn't lose her mind and have a ntal breakdown," I said.
"Yeah, well, I wish you luck with that. Was there anything else you needed? Oh by the way, I can make Spirit grade pills now! They're five tis stronger than Mortal grade pills!" He said.
"What do you have?" I said.
"I've got everything I had before, but in Spirit grade. I also added elental resistance pills to my list, healing pills, and blood essence pills. The blood essence pills are kind of a grab bag of mories and skills you can acquire through blood mory absorption and integration," he said.
"Ok, get 20 elental resistance pills of every type, 40 healing pills, 100 blood essence pills, 200 life essence pills, and 20 elental affinity pills of every type. And make sure they're all Spirit grade, of course," I said.
"Of course. I would normally warn you how expensive that is, but since you took down the dragons, you probably have the money. That's $100,000,000 or 1 million gold giblets." Tommy said.
"Holy shit! Alright. Here you go," I said as I slamd a massive stack of bills on his counter.
"Thank you," Tommy said as he shoved the money behind the counter and clearly just onto the floor behind it.
"You better pick that up," I said.
"Oh, trust , I will," he said and winked.
"That makes think you're gonna do it naked or sothing. Be careful with your winks," I said.
"Who says I won't?" He said, winking again.
"Ok, mister. You go enjoy that. I'm gonna hit up Dan about the fundraising concert," I said.
I hit "Talk" on the Companions tab in the system for Dan. Another rip in space appeared and I talked with him a bit. I updated him on everything that was going on, and we chatted about his ti in the Werewolf sect.
I even told him about Luna, and he said, "Oh yeah, that chick is cool. Too hot for though."
I didn't argue with him on that even though I wanted to. I wanted him to have more confidence in himself, but it would've felt weird arguing he had a chance with a girl I was currently seeing.
I brought up the concert and he was all for it. He was also excited to et l. As the bassist, he was the most chill person in the band. Him and I had a stronger rapport than I did with Tommy. Tommy and I were still friends. He just didn't have the sa way with people that Dan did.
After hanging up with Dan, I told Hope about the blue diamond experint I was having Tommy try and she got super excited for it. Although, her version of excited and other people's version of excited were very different.
She rarely used exclamation marks when she spoke. So when I told her she finally might be able to make real elental cultivation progress and that I was literally giving up billions of dollars to do it, she went, "Oh, thank you, Dylan. That's so nice of you. I appreciate how considerate you are."
And then she hugged weakly. I almost laughed at how understated she was as a person, but I didn't want to make her feel even more insecure than she already did.
After that, I got ready to hit the space dungeon with Thistle and Penny.
