Chapter 53: Improvements in the Black Plain Army

contemporary romance

After greeting Secretary Mia, Minos headed for his office, with the young Ruth right behind him. He wanted to see the butler Dillian again and start arguing about distributing the items he had purchased on Stone Island.

Minos entered his office not long afterward and found a middle-aged man drinking spiritual tea. He was comfortably seated with his legs crossed on one of the sofas in this room while he had a cup in one hand and some papers in the other.

At that moment, the butler Dillian noticed that someone had entered the room, and he slowly turned to see who it was. "Oh! Young master, you are already back. Hehe, it looks like things went well on your trip."

He also noticed a young woman with long black hair behind Minos. "Ah! Miss Ruth is also here. I hope you didn't take long to meet."

"Mm, we met shortly after I arrived in the capital of Stone Island, the Old Stone city," Ruth confirmed it, looking at Dillian. She had been here for over a month, so the butler was curious to see if everything had worked out.

The butler then smiled for a moment and asked Minos with a severe look on his face. "And then? How were things on Stone Island? Did the young master have any setbacks?"

"Mm, I had some problems along the way…" Minos then started to report all the events that had happened since he and his group had left the Dry City.

He hid almost nothing and talked about everything, from the coyote attack on his way to Maritime City, the auction, the ambush he had set up against the young Darell's group, and his problems faced with the Nash family. He just didn't talk about his fun with the beautiful Elena since it wasn't crucial for Dillian to know that…

While listening to this, Dillian had a complicated expression on his face. He had finally found out who was behind the death of his master and friend, Albert Stuart. "So, it really was those miserable ones from the Silva family…" Dillian sighed, understanding the situation.

At the same time, Ruth was impressed with how many problems were around this young man with whom she was traveling. 'He actually dares to kill people from such important families in this place...'

Minos and Dillian didn't care about Ruth's presence in the room since she was neither of power in the region nor an enemy but a disciple of Minos' mother.

So, even if Mrs. Maisie were absent, she wouldn't try to harm her son on purpose, and Minos and Dillian knew it. That way, they had no reason for them not to speak openly in front of the beautiful Ruth.

"But that is not all bad. Now we at least know who our enemy is. And the young master shouldn't be bothered by the Silva family by tracking you down in the short term. This should take a long time before they find the young master's exact identity."

Butler Dillian changed the subject and said with a smile on his face. "Haha, but this problem with young master Luke truly benefited us. Who knew the Nash family would be so generous to us?"

Minos nodded and said. "Mm, because of that, I came back with even more medium-grade crystals than when I left to go to the Stone Island."

"Anyway, how are the forces of the Black Plain Army? How many of them have already reached the level 39 bottleneck?"

"Well, not many. At the moment, we only have 15 more soldiers who can step up to level 40 after absorbing the power of the pills that the young master bought."

"But as for those at level 29, we have many. About 60 soldiers are at this level. If we can help them level up with spiritual pills, they will be able to level up a few months in advance." Dillian said.

"Mm, well, it's not that bad since most of our soldiers are in the middle of their respective stages. It also gives us time to acquire more resources. If they were all ready to receive these pills, we would not be able to deliver such demand." Minos spoke while handing a spatial ring to the butler Dillian.

"Here, Grandpa Dillian, you can distribute these pills and spiritual weapons to the highest-ranking soldiers, who have met the requirements for this."

"Okay, I'm going to do this as soon as possible... Ah! Okay, in that period that the young master was on Stone Island, our city's population continued to grow, and we now have 47,583 inhabitants in the city. However, all of these people came from the vicinity of the Dry City." Dillian said, remembering this important fact.

"Oh! This is good. Almost the entire population of the Black Plain has already migrated to our city. Except for the Maritime City, which cannot be considered as part of our sovereignty area, in a short time, there will be no more people living outside the Dry City in our region." Minos said without many expressions.

With that, they could continue to increase the plantation area under the control of Minos. Even if it was a slight population increase, it was still enough for the next six months. But after that, if Minos wanted to expand, he would have to attract people elsewhere.

"But don't worry about it now, Grandpa Dillian. We have already found a place where we can attract more labor to the Dry City."

"Oh! And how are we going to do that?" Dillian asked curiously.

"Well, we're going to do it like this…" Minos started to tell the information he had obtained from Elena and Elen. This was something that Dillian did not know either, since until recently, he was just someone who took care of the affairs of the late General Albert.

So, he didn't have as much information about what was going on outside the Brown Kingdom. All he knew was basic knowledge of these territories, as anyone at his age would know. But he did not know the details of what was happening in such an unimportant region, such as the border between the Kingdom of the Waves and the Black Plain.

"Tsk, this indeed seems to be the best alternative for the young master. With that, at least we are not going to draw the attention of the great powers of the region." Dillian agreed with what he had heard from Minos.

Minos then sighed and said. "Anyway, changing the subject, how is the progress of those two youths?"

"Very good! Alison reached level 22 while the young master was away. As for the boy, Lee, he reached level 23. " Dillian replied with a smile on his face. Although these two were not as quick as Minos, they were being nurtured as the priorities of the Dry City forces. For this reason, their cultivation speeds could be considered very good.

"Mm, this is good. Then bring them back. I will send them to their 'special' training soon. They've had more than a month to stay with their families. Now it's time for them to train even more. " Minos finished.

After that, each of the three people went their own way. Dillian went to resolve matters concerning the distribution of the resources he had received from Minos. Minos went to his residence, and Ruth found a place to rest.

Not long afterward, Minos entered his Spatial Kingdom, which he could not do as much while traveling to Stone Island. After all, besides Dillian and the two youths, no one else knew about it, so he couldn't just disappear from nowhere and come back. This would create suspicion for those around him.

A month quickly passed.

At that time, Minos had given orders for preparations for an attack mission to the border region of the Black Plain with the Kingdom of the Waves to be made. He also wanted to spend that time cultivating so that his risks would be lessened on this expedition.

Despite hearing from Elen that the strength of that place was only slightly higher than that of the Black Plain, they had better beware.

And in the meantime, Minos has reached level 35!

He had spent most of his time within the Spatial Kingdom, and such an improvement was already expected.

In addition, during that time, all soldiers who had reached bottlenecks in cultivation had already made their advances and learned their new battle techniques. Some of them had also received new spiritual weapons and were already getting used to them.

Some changes have also occurred for ordinary people in the Dry City. Now there was another spiritual meeting array in operation in the city, which was even better than the other four that had been here for over a year. As a result, the area covered by the arrays increased considerably, increasing the city's territory.

But not only that, with the arrival of the alchemist Davis, the ordinary population of the city was now completely excited about the possibility of increasing their cultivation speeds with the help of the spiritual pills sold by this specialist.
