?825 Chapter 825: New Celestial City

The first task at hand was the infrastructure of the city. In the recent commotion, not only were the Warriors and Guards of the Previous City Lord killed, but quite a lot of buildings were also damaged. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.

Even the border walls were destroyed. It was a border City that was the first line of defense. And oftentimes, it was attacked from both sides. Despite knowing that, the enemies destroyed the border wall, not even leaving a single lifeline for the citizens.

It was as if they wanted to take away every last bit of hope from these people. They could've killed the citizens, but they let them live, possibly for them to cause a commotion or abandon the city.

Karyk was sure that there were some insiders who were a part of this and they were still in the city, observing everything. That was also a good excuse for him to convince the young man to keep his identity a secret.

He used every disadvantage to his advantage, taking control of the city. The previous city lord's son was left as nothing more than a loyal puppet, blinded by Revenge.

Although Karyk was using the City Lord's son to his advantage, he also meant everything he had told the young man. He had decided to keep it as an equal exchange. He was receiving this city, and in exchange, he promised that he was going to give the killers of his father to the young man.

Karyk stood near the border between the City and the land of Chaos where the wall was being repaired by the citizens. The good thing was that only warriors in the city were killed, but the artisans were still alive, which made things a bit easier.

"Good. I'm giving you your first task. I want you to gather information. I want every information about every powerful family in Elzeria. Not just that, I want every information you have on the Royal Capital and their strength. No matter how insignificant that information is, I would rather have it than to miss it."

"Even about the Royal Family?" Arkam frowned. However, he just remembered that he had promised he wouldn't ask any questions.

"I will have it done." He nodded. "But for it, I will have to leave the city for some time. Will everything be fine if I'm not here?"

"It should be fine." Karyk affirmed. It didn't matter how long Arkam was going to take. Anything was faster than him gathering information personally since he was definitely going to miss a lot of things that a native wouldn't.

Moreover, he had a lot of things to do in the city as well. He wanted to establish his own domain as well. He wanted this city to become a Capital away from the Capital, a base of their power.

Instead of letting the war drag onto his world, he wanted to try creating his own force here that could help him when the time came, something that was going to be absolutely loyal to him.

To achieve his goals, the survival of this city was of utmost importance. If the city was destroyed, all this opportunity was no different than wasted.

"The moment you return, you'll see a new and improved Celestial City. Something that would not only be safer than it used to be, but even stronger."

Arkam, after receiving Karyk's affirmation, left Karyk, going back to the Mansion. He was late when he had to protect his father. If he had arrived a few days earlier, he could've changed the future. This time, he didn't want to be late as the lives of many people in the city depended on him.

Karyk watched him leave, observing him in silence. He didn't know what the future was going to be like, but he had a feeling that if Arkam didn't disappoint him, then things were going to be much better.
