Chapter 179: Join The City
When Atlas heard this question, he smiled and replied, "Because you are alive. You continue your life in a small town without even thinking about what could happen at any moment. It’s a dangerous situation, truly dangerous. At any moment, a higher-level monster could appear out of nowhere. What will you do then?"
He wasn’t wrong. After all, this wasn’t an unprecedented event. Still, thanks to the strength of the warriors in the town, even if the monster couldn’t be killed, it could be driven back.
"So what should we do? We know you’re a duke. How can we find work in a place that could become a major city, and perhaps even surpass the capital in value?" Kai asked.
When Atlas heard this question, he looked at Kai with a puzzled expression. It seemed that Kai’s inability to understand what Atlas was trying to say had disappointed him.
It seemed like a deeper discussion on this topic was needed.
"Kai. What I want is different from what you think. You know, the city I want to build is much more magnificent than you can imagine. It will be more splendid than the buildings in Cordelia’s construction plan, a city that glows with power on every side," Atlas said suddenly.
As Kai tried to understand what he was trying to say, Atlas stopped looking at the painting he was watching and looked at Kai, saying:
"I want to divide the city into several parts. There will be no separation between the nobles and the commoners. Even if there are differences in rank and status, there will be areas where they can all be together within the city. One part for blacksmithing, another for duels, another for the hunters’ guild, and the other parts for other communities."
After these words, Atlas smiled broadly. The brightness and honesty in his eyes were truly remarkable. It didn’t take a genius to understand that what he was saying was what he really wanted. All it took was a little bit of brainpower and the ability to think.
