Chapter 449 Upgrade (3)
In the end, they headed west while Jean himself was evaluating Lucyna and her people. It was hard to say for sure since he could tell that she wasn’t an ordinary person. He also felt that he had seen Icarus somewhere… Billy’s idea came in handy in a different way. By letting them stay near a dungeon town, their actions would be limited, and a small army would be deployed instantly if they caused trouble.”It seems that you managed to get some resources while you were escaping…” Jean said while looking at the wagons filled with ores that Lucyna and her people were pulling.
”We knew that start from a scratch would make us a dead weight to any place we might settle in, so I figured this much would help us build a small town fast enough,” Lucyna said.
Jean nodded. He was quite satisfied with what he had heard in the last few days. He realized that Lucyna and her people were well aware of their situation, and they didn’t want to be helped out of pity but because they could carry their own weight.
In the end, they reached Billy’s territory after one week, and they also looked a land suited for them to create a town and then farm the fields. To make sure that problems won’t arise, Pierre was going to stay behind and help with the management and also ask some people from Billy’s dungeon town to come and help now and then.
”I an greatly indebted to you, I will make sure that you won’t regret this choice of letting us restart our lives in your territory,” Lucyna said and then bowed.
”I am sure you will, but I have a good feeling about you and your people,” Jean said and then offered a handshake. “Let’s work together to make our state prosper.”
Lucyna nodded and accepted the handshake. During the whole time, Billy stayed distant from the negotiations. Jean thought that he didn’t want to get too close to the people he didn’t know, so his plan worked well. Nevertheless, he at least helped them for a day by using his magic to build some buildings and houses. At that point in time, Lucyna and Icarus shouldn’t have been surprised, but they couldn’t help but leave their mouths hanging open when they saw one hundred houses being built in a single afternoon.
Billy also was pretty satisfied. He had come a long way since the time he could only create walls to protect only one-fourth of a small town in an entire week… He probably could do that in a single afternoon now with his reserves.
”It is quite shocking, right?” Jean asked. “He may be quiet and unfriendly at first, but he is a good person.”
”It would be weird to call me a bad person when I am so close…” Billy said.
”He is quite funny too,” Jean laughed.
Lucyna frowned, and Billy decided to leave them alone while he paid a visit to his dungeon town. There were a lot more adventurers than before, so business was booming. Nevertheless, Billy entered the dungeon and stayed there until he recovered his mana, and then they moved back to the capital using the tunnels.
”Come to think of it, maybe I should give those two my magic magnets and tell them how to use it, while they are only half an hour away from my home using the magic cart, this can be more convenient,” Billy thought while he was heading home.
As usual, Christina welcomed Billy with a large smile when he returned home, and Kate looked exhausted. That was turning into a routine… Maybe Billy was spoiling Christina too much, but it couldn’t be helped since Hector always gives him the cold shoulder. He wanted to spoil them equally, but that wasn’t possible.
”What happened?” Kate asked.
Billy gave his wives a summary of what happened. Since they knew that Billy was the one who disliked strangers the most, they didn’t say anything when he accepted them into his territory. In any case, he called everyone the next day to his home in order to see the fruits of their training, and he nodded in satisfaction when he saw that all of them had learned Flash.
”I guess that is it for the time being, keep improving that skill in order to reach larger distances with a single step,” Billy said. “It also would be wiser to try to use it in numerous terrains to get some experience since that has some serious limitations.”
”All right, I guess I will return to my own training,” Alexander said. “The new students will come in three months and I want to kick Billy’s ass with my next skill.”
”Even if you had thirty years, you probably won’t be able to do much,” Billy said.
”Hahaha, just wait and see,” Alexander said.
Alexander was quite confident, so Billy felt that he should be careful. Fortunately, thanks to his friend, he could try and learn the same technique, but he had an inspiration to try something else. Something more suited for him… However, he still was in the brainstorming stage, and he also had to finish the diamond weapons. Making them with the magic hammer would be easy and fast, but by using it, Billy wouldn’t level up his own Blacksmith skill.
Diamond Glaive
STR + 300, SPE + 300
Durability: 600/600
Billy wondered why it was better than the sword that he gave to Natalie. He certainly wasn’t more skilled than the guy that only does nothing but forges weapons day in and day out. In any case, he also wondered if the weapon would have become stronger if he had used the Magic Hammer slowly… It was too late to think about that, though.
The next morning, Billy went to check his new toy in action, but with a single swing, he destroyed all the grass and cracked the floor of the garden… Kate will seriously pull his ears.
