Chapter 624 - Task Complete
While everyone was quiet and thought about the implications of what the Portal Gate would mean, Ren used Double Infusion and added a glyph that contained his Maker's Mark combined with Protection and Durability runes. With that done, he took out the All-Seeing Mirror and checked the next location. He cast the Portal Spell and stored the mirror, then took the hand of both Artemis and Lara while Teepo dissolved into the Beetle Crown ring.
“Let's go.” Ren said and pulled them through the portal. They were now in the capital city of the Human Kingdom called Bore-Reale, and Ren summoned Teepo again. Now that he had the recipe for the columns, he just activated his Craft Wondrous Item ability and made three more, set the base of paving stones down, and assembled it and covered it in cement. He used the half-circle mold again and mounted it on top, then used his abilities to dry it.
Ren opened the Portal Gate recipe and added the 10,000 Mana and gold needed to activate it. Once again, his work garnered a lot of attention, and since it was the capital, there were a lot more people in this town square and a huge crowd gathered. When the map of the country appeared, the dot and name of Bore-Reale appeared on it in the proper spot, then a smaller dot with Aurora appeared in it's proper location. Gasps were heard when some of the townspeople realized what it meant, and Ren used Double Infusion to add the glyph with his Maker's Mark and the Protection and Durability runes.
“Is that for real?” Someone asked. “We can travel that far by just stepping through?”
“At the moment.” Ren said. “When I add more, you can choose from a list where you want to go.”
“You're adding more?” Someone else asked.
“One in every town square in the country.” Ren said, and everyone fell silent. He chuckled and took out the All-Seeing Mirror and checked the next town square he wanted to go to.
“But... but you're a Sea Dweller!” Someone exclaimed. “Why are you doing this?”
“I've already made you all recognize me.” Ren said. “Now it's time to show you what I can do.”

The people gathered watched as he cast a Portal spell and he and his two companions stepped through it and disappeared. Barely a minute passed and another small dot appeared near the others on the map, and the main port city called Braddock was added to the Portal Gate. More people gathered and watched as new dots appeared and each town and city was added to the Portal Gate.
“He's really doing it.” Someone said with awe in their voice. “He's connecting all of the town squares!”

Since there were a lot of cities and towns scattered across the countryside, even with only needing a few minutes to make each gate and adding it to the Portal Gate, it still took several hours for Ren to finish. The last one he made he put inside the human starter city that he had made in his county. A dot appeared in the right spot, but no name appeared.
“Huh, I guess people need to be here to name it.” Ren said, then he received a popup.
