Chapter 732: The Busy Proceedings of the Courtroom 2
There were more or less three groups in these meetings: first, the Dawnstar lords whom Souldealer favored. Then Damian himself and all the lords who listened to his orders without a single doubt in their heads—Sam and Lucian supported him no matter what. And the last was Evrin, Einar, and some lords who actually wanted the management of the Sanctuary to progress with the same stability it always had.
Concerns of common people? What were those?
Everyone had their own internal power struggles going on. Most of it was easily solvable, but calling it out would only make it worse. Until he changed the system, he could work with this.
"We don’t have enough people," Damian said. "Demons are taking a huge risk entering unknown dungeons just to have enough monster meat to fill the bellies of their people. They will enter ten dungeons today. I have set up the waygate points. Just need to assign officials to work there. They are checking which dungeon has what in it—we will receive each dungeon entry report every day. We will have enough time to level after that. Dungeons are from the divine, right? If demons are taking the risk, a little reward is well deserved."
His friends smiled. They knew very well Damian did not believe much in the divine. He was just using it to get his point across.
"Lord Keeper, when will our Sanctum be ready to send the villagers and border town people to their homes? A few civilians asked me and I didn’t know what to say," another lord asked. This one was from Dawnstar.
"That’s what I will be doing today," Damian replied. "First I will connect the borders to our Sanctuary city, then all the dungeons. Then we will see which region could still benefit from a waygate before going forward."
"Dungeons?" Prince Lean asked. "You mean all the major towns where dungeons are?"
"No, the dungeons. I have already asked Lady Einar to make teams of our capable knights and first-rankers who could benefit from entering a dungeon. I need reports about each floor of all 32 dungeons of ours.
As soldiers of the Sanctuary, the army and its officials have the right to all the dungeons—not just the ones they are tasked to protect. Once I install the waygate points in our city today, any pathfinder who has served in the army for more than six months can apply to enter any dungeon he or she wants. The selection of candidates and team creation will be solely managed by Lady Einar. It’s part of the reward for believing in Sanctuary’s purpose and fighting to protect it for so long."
