Rise Of The Legendary Emperor 123 After War Meeting

At the moment Don was having a round table meeting with his people in Everlight.

"Yeah tell me about it"

Knight knew Don did the rational thing but he liked to make fun of Don anyways

"Sorry I'm late"

Nikalas entered the meeting room and joined Don in the round table with Ken, Benedict, Arrora, Knight, Reghys, Arwen, Amaryll, Dhursir, Uncle Dior, and Reghys.

Even with all these people, Dragon King's round table still had some seats remaining which made Don wonder how many people that the Dragon King had under his command.

Seeing everyone was here at the meeting, Knight said

"We have good and bad news, which one do you guys want first?" 

"Give us the bad news Knight"

Amaryll said as everyone seemed to agree with her choice

"Our men killed the entire army of Agoria and now we have to use our men in Everlight to protect Agoria "

���Why can't we use the army of Emir? We can split them into two groups and sent one group to Agoria"

Uncle Dior suggested as Amaryll nodded her head as she said

"Yes, it's not like they actually died in the bombing. Speaking of which, Don did you find the guys who were sent to do the job?"

"Yeah, his name is Ca.s.sek. According to Clemo, he and Garreth was pretty close and he said, he could be the only who Garreth trusted with such things"

"I put my team in his trail Don, we'll soon have news about his whereabouts"

"I kinda feel sorry for them, they really believed the rumors we spread about the Azrite deposit"

Uncle Dior said.

"We also knocked up Harold's messengers, that guy would have thrown a wrench in our plans by offering half of the Emir to Garreth"

"It's a good thing we didn't let that happen, Knight"

Hearing everything, Nikalas realized that his uncle Harold really got screwed by the people sitting here with him.

"What's the good news?"

Reghys asked Knight as a wide proud grin appeared on his face

"Our men really performed well in the battle, the critical injury we suffered was a sprained ankle and that's because he was too excited to kill the Agorians and didn't see the stone before him "

"I bet he must be an overgrown elf" Dhursi burst into laughter as seeing the old dwarf laughing even Nikalas had a good chuckle

"Sorry to burst your bubble old man, he's a dwarf"

"WHAT!?"

Now Amaryll and Uncle Dior started to laugh as Dhursir tried to find a way out of the embarra.s.sment and after a few moments he shouted

"Well, we dwarves prefer ta fight wi'out any armors ta obstruct our movements.So I blame tha armor, it cou' have happened ta tha best o' us"

"Yes it must be the armor"

Amaryll sarcastically said as Dhursir rolled his eyes and stopped talking

"Moving up, thanks to Nikalas, Benedict, Riya and Reghys we've now fixed the teleportation array"

"Good job everyone"

"We still have some repairing to do"

Nikalas said hearing Don's praise as he nodded and turned his gaze towards Arwen

"Arwen, What's the story behind the bloodstains in Luther and Granner?"

"At the time I reached the store, there were no bloodstains like you said so I asked around with Uncle Dior and the only valid lead we got is, some homeless people sleeping in the alley behind the store heard screaming, the day before you went to the store"

"I knew something happened there"

Arrora exclaimed as Don waited for Arwen to continue because he knew that Arwen did not finish as Arwen continued with a worried expression on his face

"So we went to the hub"

"What's a hub?"

Knight had never heard of something called hub before as Uncle Dior started to explain

"It's like any other shops Knight, only they sell information for a price"

"Wow cool idea"

"Not cool for the one who pays "

Seeing Uncle Dior was going to curse the shop again for their price, Arwen cleared his throat and continued

" According to the man in the hub, It's just a rumor as lately the previous girl worked in Luther and Granner met with some shady people before she was replaced by a new salesgirl"

"Well its seems like she got herself into some problem which she couldn't handle"

Don nodded hearing Knight as he didn't have time to play hero and save everyone in this world

"Don't be hasty Knight, hear this, the guy in the hub also told us that an underworld slave auction is happening in the outer lands. of course he said it's just a rumor "

The word slave made everyone uncomfortable as everyone in the room had become good friends who knew about their past and feeling towards slavery of their kind

And now Don's interest in the matter truly peaked as he wanted to know more about this rumored slave auction which happens in the outer lands because it would be a good hunting ground for him to expand his army and get some loyal citizens to live in Everlight.

"Alright, tell Joel to get all the information he could about this auction. We need to know who we're dealing with"

Don would only make his move if he could handle the consequences otherwise, Don would back off and let them continue the auction for a bit longer until he had enough power to take them down with their roots

"Now that's settled, we need to discuss about Emir"

After the confusion of two kings in Emir, Don decided to name Warren as the head of state which was just a temporary name until he could come up with a better name. And already spread this news around Emir and people now seemed to recognize Warren as second in command but not as their King.

Since that matter was settled Don was wondered what else they had to do in Emir as Knight continued

"We need to do something about those barren lands. As our population here grows, we can't supply foods all the time to Emir using the teleportation array"

"What can we do? it's not like we can turn the barren lands into farmlands with a snap"

But surprisingly after Don said this, Ken raised his hand as Don gestured at him to speak freely

"We can turn the barren lands into farmlands, your majesty"

Hearing Ken, not just Don, everyone sitting at the table was surprised and shocked

"Basically what Emir lack, is a water source or water supply.If we can provide that, most of the barren lands would turn into fertile lands in few months"

Don and Knight decided a long time ago that it's better not to ask Ken about the details since he was from the future and knew more about everything than them

"So the water source is"

"Water spirit your majesty"

"Where do we find this water spirit? and you said most of the barren lands, what about the rest of the lands?" Knight asked.

"We can find a water spirit in the caves of Chelby peaks your majesty, and I said most because some lands have nothing but stones. We can't turn a stone into the soil, even with a water spirit"

"Alright, Ken. take whoever you want and get us the water spirit"

"Yes, your majesty"

"Next we need to talk about the ancient dungeon Don"

"Now you have three keys, that means you can send three teams into the dungeon but"

"But what Reghys?"

"Don, although our army had become stronger, they are not even close to the level that required to enter the dungeon"

Don knew aside from him, Knight, Arrora, and Reghys, he had no one with skill and cultivation level to enter the dungeon and if he sent anyone in Everlight except those three, they would certainly die inside the dungeon.

Even Arwen and Stodemar were not ready to enter the dungeon let alone Gael or little Elrond.

"How many men can I take me with to the dungeon?"

"You can take two people with you, and don't think about taking me because dragons cant enter that dungeon"

It made sense since Dragons were superior and powerful beings so the people overseeing the dungeon entry didn't want the dragons to enter and rob the place clean without leaving anything for their future generations.

Reghys was somehow different than many dragons but even she h.o.a.rded a ton of wealth. So if the typical treasure loving dragon entered the dungeon, there would be nothing but floors and walls.

"Knight, Arrora you two are coming with me"

"Finally some action"

"What're we gonna do with the remaining keys?"

"Don, we can sell those. We don't want our treasury to run on low funds do we?"

Amaryll said with great enthusiasm as she was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with joy thinking about the wealth it could bring to the treasury since the treasury was her domain.

The dungeon opening was only a couple of months away and since Don didn't have many people to send into the dungeon using the other keys, he had no other choices but sell the remaining key as Amaryll said.

And selling the two keys had the chance to bring more resources than sending half-trained men into the dungeon and hoping to get the items inside.

"Good idea Amaryll, so who wants to go to the auction house?"

"I'll go"

Surprisingly, Benedict answered Don as Knight and everyone looked a little shocked because Benedict hated wasting his time on other things apart from the Apex machine and teleportation array.

"Are you sure Benedict?"

Benedict understood the meaning Knight's question as he sighed and said

"It's Riya,she's been summoned by her father. So as her teacher I need to go with her"

"Why?"

"I don't know, it must be something important or her father wouldn't have used the dream summoning"
