2 days after the incident which had shaken Central Angaria and almost resulted in a war between nations.
The area where the Ker Gem mine had been found was already abandoned for the most part, except for a few stragglers who checked every nook and cranny around the site of discovery in hopes of finding any precious materials.
Ker Gem mines were usually found in places where the natural energy was the highest. After crossing a certain threshold, it was posited that a condensation occurred after which the concentration goes back down.
As such, all the areas where mines appeared were only recorded and checked periodically. Because there were simply too many spots, it was impossible to check each and every one very frequently.
One man who had trekked all the way from Eldinor in hopes of finding something felt the ground shake under him, as if some sort of disturbance had taken place under his feet.
Manically, he started digging with a furor which shocked Daneel who had just teleported here.
Immediately teleporting to a different location where he wouldn't be detected, he heaved a sigh of relief before ordering the system to continue towards the location of the high grade energy signal.
Since the notification from the system had sounded in his mind after holding the Ker Gem brought by Luther in his hands, Daneel had been waiting to go and check to see whether there would be better results if he brought the Natural Energized Training Chamber over.
Finally, after being cautious to not venture out immediately, he had taken care of pending matters before telling Kellor that he was going into closed door meditation for a while.
In fact, this was quite a mon occurrence in Lanthanor and the other Kingdoms in Central Angaria. King Richard had even spent most of his time in close door meditation, except when he came out to give orders to get more Ker Gems to train.
Thus, the King of Lanthanor entered his first secluded training after taking the throne.
Only teleporting under ground for the most part, he had skirted the Kingdom of the Elves to finally arrive below the spot where the Ker Gem Mine had been found.
[Host has arrived at the signal. Please stand by.]
Although the fact that he had gotten nothing from this whole expedition stung, Daneel was thankful that he had gotten the chance to see the military in action with his own eyes.
Due to this experience, he now had a clearer perspective regarding how he wanted to develop his army.
Although the Domination Corps had been given the technique, they were still too young and weak to be considered a deployable asset.
Thus, he had to find some other way.
[High Grade Energy Signal Analyzed. Ker Gem Energy production rate by Natural Energized Training Chamber: 1 Gem every 50 days]
Smiling wide, Daneel reveled in the sensation that things were finally going in his way again.
The exact spot of the signal was over 50 feet below the Ker Gem Mine, which made it safe from people who might try excavating at the site in hopes of finding more treasure. Thus, although it was still risky, Daneel decided to go with his plan.
After making an exhaustive list of trinkets he would need to take precautions, the King of Lanthanor proceeded back to his Kingdom to finish the preparations as fast as possible.
At least in this matter, there was no one else he could trust except himself.
...
2 days later.
In a room two passageways away from the King's chambers.
Since a week ago, a lot of people had been going in and out of this room.
Multiple building materials and strange objects had been brought inside, while people dressed in white clothes whispered among themselves while going about their tasks hurriedly.
Now, it seemed that their mission was plete, as they all stood at the door while waiting for someone to arrive.
After a few moments, footsteps could be heard from the corner of the passageway.
Many maids and servants had gathered at this location to find out just what the hubbub was all about.
Seeing three people walking towards the room, everyone who was present first kneeled on one foot after realizing that one of them was the King of Lanthanor.
Of the other two, one supported an old man with a brand on his face which marked him as a deserter. Although his clothes were not flashy, they seemed to have been made from a good material.
The other was a woman who was wearing a yellow gown. She had a broad smile on her face, as if something she had been waiting for for a long time was finally going to happen.
"Who are the ones beside the King?
