Chapter 492 - Taming the Resources - 2
The resource collection process was efficient thanks mainly to Julius’s beast.
Having internal space was truly convenient...
The king and Julius stored the most important artifacts and potions, plus the maximum possible amount of crystals to transport above. Arturo, a half-brother and two half-sisters were trusted people who also had Wolverines, though with lesser storage capacity, but with their help they could significantly increase the transfer speed.
"We can move a good part of the crystals to the kingdom’s coffers," Julius calculated while supervising the operation. "We need to inject everything possible into the city’s recovery."
The city had entered panic after recent events and threatened an economic recession that could be as devastating for the poorest as any military attack. The crystals could stabilize both the economy and public morale.
Beyond their military applications, the crystals represented generational wealth that could transform not just individual lives but the kingdom’s entire economic structure.
"People need to see that we have resources and power to protect them," Dragarion agreed, nodding proudly at Julius.

Once above, Ren in the lead immediately headed toward where Selphira was resting.
Along with Liora, they carried the first potion toward the elderly warrior who had given so much effort during the recent battle. Luna approached silently to see her father, who slept peacefully in his own bed in the same room, and took his hand.
"Selphira would only need rest," Ren observed, analyzing her condition again with his new enhanced senses, "but I want to avoid her sleeping as much as my teacher Lin now that we need her..."
Lin had been unconscious for days after her transformation, a luxury of time they couldn’t afford in the current situation.
