"Report!" A man slammed open the door, finding the king, Raymond, and several other ministers in the room.
"What have you found from that city? Tell us right away!" Raymond shouted.
"Y-Yes, sir!" The man was a bit hesitant because he felt he was being treated less than a commoner in that city. "The city is called Golden Dawn City. It is a place with a lot of new things.
"I tried living there as a random commoner, but it was simply ridiculous. If you wanted to get water, you could get it easily without paying for anything. You could take a bath as much as you and the servant didn't even need to come to fetch the water. Unlimited amounts of water were available in that city.
"There were also public transportations where a commoner could go all around the town in less than thirty minutes without paying or even standing.
"In addition, during the night, the city was bright. The lamps were on during the night, which would reduce the crime rate. In addition, you could easily light up your room, which would give you the ability to read or finish any work during the night.
"And this was just the life of the commoner." The man paused for a moment.
They couldn't help but furrow their eyebrows when they heard about such a thing. It was indeed the life of a noble, but the commoner could do it themselves without a single servant.
"What about the systems of that city? Is there anything we can take advantage of?"
"I'm not very sure. First of all, the morale was high. They loved the Marquis so much. The soldiers were swearing their loyalty to the Marquis completely. I even got the testament of one of the soldiers, saying that if the Marquis wanted him to die, he wouldn't hesitate to slit his throat, knowing that his family would be taken care of.
"The city was big, able to house about 30,000 to 40,000 people at once easily. There were about five thousand soldiers in that city, while the rest had been scattered across the land.
"I noticed more than 7 spirit grandmasters residing in that city, but there might be more hiding.
"The city's layout was extremely sturdy, allowing reinforcement to any walls. The star-shaped wall looked strange at first, but when I took another look at it, it actually produced a bigger threat than a normal box-shaped castle.
"If I had to simplify everything I found there... it was impossible for the city to fall."
"..." Everyone remained silent. There was tension rising in the air. Without hearing that conclusion, they could already tell that the city was perfect. The defense on the outside was valid, and the morale was incredible.
"The safety?" Raymond asked.
"Hahaha." Raincart smiled. "I was given a mansion in that city, but I could always stay within his mansion whenever I visited him. So I'd like to present the mansion to the royal family. If Your Majesty would like to visit the princess, you could do it easily."
The king smiled. "You've done great!"

Zaecuria Kingdom.
"I think that we should warn the students we have sent to that city once again. There are definitely a lot of secret projects that we can't even find,' a minister suggested.
The king stated, "Duke Briton. You hadn't finished the ship yet. I know that you're missing your family after being away for so long, but I'd like to ask you to head back there and warn those students. If there is any problem, I'd like you to handle it personally."
"Of course, Your Majesty." Duke Briton paused for a moment. There was one thing that he wanted from doing all this work. It was the expedition to the sea that he heard would involve Noel and Anna.
If it really succeeded, he wanted his descendant to be a part of it. And that was the agreement between them.

Atracaeca Kingdom.
The Grand Protector visited the second prince, asking, "How is the progress of that task?"
"I just needed to wait for the last batch before sending it to the Ardagan family." The second prince Ramuer explained.
"Send them right away. The last batch can be sent later. I'll cover the cost."
Ramuer looked surprised before he said, "It seems that the city is more amazing than anyone's imagination."
The Grand Protector sighed. "It was a sign of change. In the future, no one might be able to stop him anymore. But in the end, our enemies are those demons. Instead of getting locked here in these four countries, he might already set his eyes on the world..."
"..." The second prince didn't say anything afterward, but he was deep in thought after hearing those words.
