Chapter 56
"Wow, one day really was enough to make a difference wasn’t it?"
Lelou, or formally the High Priestess Kal’Elouet enthusiastically waves a greeting at my little group. Okay, it’s just me and Lala, since Hui’Jin is doing her schoolwork, but it still counts as a group, right? The rest of the team is supposed to swing by later in the day.
"When we’ve got dragon crafted plans it’s just a matter of mana. If we had more storage, or more dragons here we could have built the entire complex in a matter of minutes."
Karl turns to look at her with a smile that promises trouble. "All you need is mana, right?"
"Well, yes. What did you have in mind?"
Karl produces a big bag from the storage he’s got hidden in his cloak. I really do need to get him to make one of those for me. I hope they don’t need mana to activate.
"These are all mana stones, from grade 2 magical beasts. I count a total of 73 in the bag so far, the entirety of Arcana’s supply. At least at this grade. How far could this get you?"
Every senior priestess is now staring at him open mouthed in awe. "How did you even get that many? And you’ll just give them all to the construction effort?"
"Our team farmed them in the portals. We can always get more, and the value of getting construction done more quickly is worth more than simple cash could ever be."
