Spirit Taming

Chapter 689: Not Just Dinner

Time passed this way for longer than what they all realized. Three days of training balanced with helping wherever they could.

The Terra city assistance had brought with them a lot of strong guards. They worked well with removing rubble. Not to mention the earth type beasts that came as their partners. Those earth type beasts were already experienced with removing large quantities of earth. Therefore, they sped up everything by quite a bit.

Beyond that, Terra City has always been a safe place to store a lot of food. They had needed to do so since they did not produce much on their own due to them living underground. That ensured that they had to trade for it very often. The results of that were massive storage areas of dried and otherwise saved food.

When that reached Aphelion, many of the people who could not do much other than try to salvage their lives rejoiced. They had one major factor of their lives that they could forget for the time being. Not to mention that they could see the massive changes already happening around them in their city.

The assistance from Nebula was radically different. Because they were focused on the cold area of the world, they did not have the same strengths when it came to food or to moving earth. Where they exceeded was water.

Specifically, Nebula City had developed a way to ensure that they had clean and fresh water at all times. Their pipes and transportation of water throughout their city was much more advanced than what had been within Nova.

Since they willingly brought this knowledge, Aphelion was going to have a significantly better way to ensure that everyone had water. Beyond that, they were also able to use that knowledge to better develop a waste management system.

The small things that most people would overlook, were actually major. It was a sign that the cities were coming together more than what anyone realized. That they were able to share their knowledge well enough that they could put aside the differences sooner than later.

News of this reached the celestial sea islands faster. Normally, the assistance from that place was smaller. Simply because the relationship had been developed by the Mane family more so than the younger generation.

This being the case, they had not taken as much of a stake in it. But that did not mean that their people were not focusing more on it. They were still keeping an eye and ear to what had happened to Nova and the facts that the city had changed in more than just name.

When Celestial sea islands and academy heard of this, they sent the fastest moving group that they could. A wise leader knew that if they did not, then they would be left behind in this revolutionary alliance.

The universal alliance had been in only words just a few days ago. Yet, here they were, representatives taking contracts back to their homes within the week. Even holding evidence in the form of unique beast plans with further evidence that some dungeons could be shared in a better way to ensure maximum resources were taken from them.

This was not something that has come lightly. This was mainly focused on the dungeons that Clark and the group had been to or learned about. Clark had seen many new facts that were not recorded about various beasts. All he had to do was connect the dots with already existing knowledge related to dungeons he had never even been to.

For example, the rage bull was a beast that was known for easily falling in to rage when their territory was invaded. Clark had spotted one of the guards with one as a spirit beast. Naturally, Clark had looked at the information.

From there, he had learned that they will be calm even if they are poked and prodded as long as they are offered the weeping lily stems as food. The plant would normally be toxic to many beasts of similar species. But to the rage bull, they were a calming herb.

It would make them incredibly social so that other herbs within the dunedin could be harvested periodically. That would produce better results while removing the major risks of entering the vast fields of the dungeon.

This was already a major portion of information due to the value that the herbs growing in the dungeon had. They were mostly healing herbs. By having a safer way to harvest them, there was a massive benefit. More healing potions could be created. Fewer people would be left without healing even if a healer was not available.

Some simple beast plans had also been sent to cliche the deals. Common beasts that most people would expect to be useless. This wasn't just to show that there were better beasts around than what people understood. It was to show that there was not as much of a disparity behind large families and the more common people.

If a common beast like the pink tailed rabbit were to be given the white clover plant as a main food, then it could be grown much more. It could easily become the pink angel hare. A beast that had wings, looked like a rabbit, and focused on healing energies related to light elemental energy. It was a very unique beast that had very little fighting capability but boasted potent healing skills.

This alone was another piece of information that could have sold for well over what anyone would have expected.

"Seriously, you just had that all written up?" Reese was trying to figure out how much Clark held back from them.

"He always has plans prepared. He may write as much as Ella does but we do not see it." Brad jumped right in with Reese trying to get Clark to share a little more information.

"Based on the knowledge he shares with us, we can expect that he has triple the information that I have stored away. He is just secretive with his research. I understand. I do not show everyone everything due to the odd nature of some information. Or the risks associated with that knowledge." Ella's point of view made a lot of sense to her.

But Clark just nodded along to let everyone believe it to be so.

"I just want to know what he thinks of my partner. I have gained a lot more control over the wind energies that I am provided. And it officially finished the break out from its cocoon and opened its wings fully." Isa had been waiting for the entire final meeting that they had for Clark to be able to say his piece here.

"The true wind monarch is a step above the wind monarch or the other wind related butterfly beasts. That's simply because it has a purer wind type energy within it. Therefore, its skills are more potent. It can even command other wind type beasts if it has more power than them. They instinctively bow to it."

"It can not grow other than its size, but the size of its wings will perfectly display how it is stronger than others. They are not normal wings, just the base of the wings are. The scales that make up the wings are actually condensed wind energy and dusts from the body of the true wind monarch."

Clark stopped talking when he saw that Isa was more surprised than what he had expected. Apparently, she had expected him to be too stunned to say what he saw. "Ok Ok Ok, let's focus on other things. We have to begin preparing to leave. Purple and Illia will be leaving tomorrow too." Maria's points were very valid.

"Not that big of a deal. We have to eat with them, that's it." Ralph just figured they would have a good meal. What else was there to do.

"Um, other than having dinner tonight, why don't you all support us in breaking out from the spot we have been stuck in. Illia has been helping me a lot." Everyone, including Ralph, stopped in their tracks.

Illia was leaning on Grace with a wide smile. No one had expected that she and Grace had been focusing on the growth of the frost finch and Grace's illness reduction without them noticing. To be fair, they had a lot of things going on. Especially with their training on top of all of it.

"You know the risks…" Ralph spoke calmly. But behind his eyes was a chaos of worry that he would not say out loud for fear that he would scare Grace from it.

"I am very sure. Illia brought some herbs for me too. She said that she didn't need them and that they were just extra food. So, we are going to do this. I just wanted Isa and Illia to provide ice energy all around me while my partner and I focus on our step forward." Grace stood without showing any signs of worry. She had made her choice.
