Chapter 148 - Tako, The West Building Keeper

The shadow fishes became more and more sensitive to the living being outside of the two dimensional space above the platform as the time passed. If this rate of growth was maintained for a couple of more days, MF hypothesized that they were going to be capable of jumping into the air around the vast sect's ground.

'I wonder what term I should use when they begin to break the barrier between their world and ours. Will it be a breakthrough or awakening?'

Both of them arrived at the west building. An extremely rich amount of mana contact immediately smeared Tako's body.

An illusionary runic sentence in front of a moving ink-like yin and yang that read 'Quest Center' appeared on the air in front of them. It was the byproduct of Foel's genius circuit formation engineering and Damascus' vast array of knowledge when it comes to spell and formation reference. A really neat thing to have for the Lautus Tunguska that housed only a few talented individuals.

MF then put the mandragora behind the reception desk far at the edge facing at the entrance. There were spiraling stairs that rose to the upper floor.

Behind them were numerous shelves for storing scrolls and artifacts. At the left wall from the view of the reception desk was a mission board where Tako could input an announcement and other missions for the future disciples to take.

Of course, she would have her own workers in the future. For now, it was unnecessary.

"This will be your working place and your home from now on."

"Wooah, everything looks stylish. Although, I can see the pattern where I need to be here all day. Is there any place where I can get my sunlight and a patch of soil for me to root?"

MF put a friendly closed-eye smile. "You're one demanding fellow. Of course, the fourth floor will be your permanent settlement. Everything that you need is already there." MF walked to the staircases and gestured to Tako to follow her. "Come."

On the second floor, it was more of the same with the first floor but with more shelves that Tako could utilize when sorting any kind of artifacts or cultivation materials. The same illusionary as the entrance welcome message was applied with every section of the category to help out Tako in her job.

"My memorization skill is actually more than enough but these animated popping up signs might be useful," Tako pondered.

"Fufufu, it's all about aesthetics."

On the third floor, Tako could perceive five kinds of vast vaults with numerous unique mana crystals in each of them. Starting from the left side to the front and to the right: Low tier mana crystals, mid tier mana crystals, high tier mana crystals, serpent tier mana crystals, and infinite tier mana crystals.

In contrast to normal mana crystals, MF created all of the current supply of mana crystals from her mana reactor. Foel was able to develop an even more effective passive mana converter formation.

Obviously, they need to get close for the tanomobi to tinker with the mana reactor below the Ouroboros' chest. MF flustered when she remembered that steamy session.

'All of them had the influence of Nerull's Bane and the One For All Bestower, resulting in ten times increase in quality better than normal mana crystal for cultivation.'

The first left vault was bigger and it began to get smaller on the singular middle vault and onto the right where it only held a couple of sect's symbol embedded nefarious mana crystals that could even be categorized as Primordial Artifact.

Tako approached the right vault that was protected with numerous contraption and ominous formation circuits. "The energy is rich in this one. It filled the whole building while also obscuring its location and other mana source because of the constant amount of thickness in the mana volume released."

"Fufufu, your understanding of mana is impressive."

"Ain taught everyone within Domeniul Ceresc the same, and we reminded each other because this kind of knowledge is fascinating for us forest spirits."

"Guess I'll reward Ain later."

The security was on par with the barrier of the current Domeniul Ceresc. Protected with the lucky amount of numbers, 4,444 dangerous layers with potent soul piercing, slaving, searing, and enclosed tribulation traps could be triggered by a mere minor mistake.

With the identification system, she took one infinite tier of mana crystals of the neatly arranged showcasing. It was twice as long as a normal high tier mana crystal height. The edge was also sharp enough for someone to use it as a weapon like an icicle.

"This is one of my proudest creations, a sole self-preserving bio-artifact that passively converts mana at massive amounts using intricate magic circuit formation embedded within it.

"It was made using type-3 sakuradite solely developed for conductibility of mana circuit. It took 3 hours to make one because of how some of the material used a xeno-formation."

"You know what, Soul Supreme? I don't know half of the words you're talking about but creating something this fascinating in three hours is really an understatement. My loyalty to you is soaring." Tako genuinely said with a rather casual and emotionless expression.

MF giggled. "Your complexion seems unconvincing. If it wasn't for the fact that I can notice the increasing density of your faith, I would mistake you for being sarcastic."

After explaining more details of the vault system and every value of the tiers, they rose to the fourth floor.

This floor was meant for a single person settlement. There was numerous furniture and it came with a bed, wardrobe, a large rug, and other amenities needed for a humanoid.

There was also a singular big ray of light that showered a 5 meters square patch of soil 2 meters deep from a circle of glass ceiling. Four symbols-pill's amplified 'sonur' was installed underneath it and a water irrigation system was developed just for the sake of creating the most pleasurable facility for the lucky mandragora that was going to be recruited back then.

It was as equal with the angel radiance although in a different way.

Tako noticed all of those goodies at the speed of sound. Without MF noticing, Tako already rooted herself with a face of bliss.

"Fufufu, don't forget to work hard. I'll be giving the lists of your job tomorrow. For now, make yourself comfortable."

Tako immediately replied to her with a two energetic thumbs up.
