285 Aurelia Dixon
Ace and the others did not say anything because they thought Lieutenant Alex's idea was good.
"Because none of you came up with any other ideas, then we will use Lieutenant Alex's idea and rebuild our base in front of the underground cave." Scarlett uttered, "Now, let's move to the next topic."
She then continued, "I want to hear your opinion on how to share the rainbow pool with everyone."
"City mistress, how about we hold a competition every six months?" Colonel Louie uttered, "As a reward, we will let the top ten enter the pool for a whole day."
Scarlett looked at Captain Noah and the others before finally asking, "What do you think about Colonel Louie's idea?"
"I think it's not the best decision for now." Ace spoke abruptly.
Everyone instantly looked at Ace.
"Explain it." Scarlett wanted to hear his explanation in detail.
"As everyone knows, the rainbow pool can increase one's absorption speed." Ace began explaining why they should not use Colonel Louie's idea for now.
He said the rainbow pool was a magical pool. Everyone who knew about the pool, would come to Nightshire city and try to snatch it.
And in order to protect the rainbow pool, they needed to be strong so that they could stop everyone from snatching it.
If only the winner of the competition could enjoy the benefits of the rainbow pool, most of the city guards would not make progress and would still be weak.
It would be useless if they only had a few strong people.
There was treasure in their city, so they all had to be much stronger than before, or else it would be the cause of the destruction of their city.
That was why they should let all city guards enjoy the benefits of the rainbow pool because they could protect their city and the magical pool better if all of them were powerful.
"Once all the city guards become strong, we will use Colonel Louie's idea." Ace uttered, "We can even reward the winner of the competition with skill and magic books. With this, they will be more motivated to become stronger."
"What do you think about Ace's idea?" Scarlett inquired.
"That makes sense."
"I agreed with his idea."
"Me too."
One by one, they agreed with Ace's idea.
Colonel Louie also agreed with Ace's idea. There was a treasure in their city, so they had to get stronger than before.
"Alright. We will use Ace's idea for this matter." Scarlett stated.
After discussing for more than an hour, the meeting was finally over.
----
Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it had been a month since Evelyn left Nightshire City.
During this one month, many things happened in Nightshire City.
First, Henry and his subordinates died.
The citizens were already satisfied with torturing Henry and his subordinates, so they decided to kill them.
Second, the progress in rebuilding their city was already seventy percent.
During this progress, Scarlett ordered her subordinates to make her city bigger and build stronger walls.
She was no longer afraid of disturbing the magical beasts in the forest because they now had a rainbow pool.
And last, more than three hundred city guards broke through to the next level.
Even though none of them broke through to the Master rank, she was still thrilled because they were stronger than before.
"Haha. I broke through to the Elite rank." the yellow-haired man said happily. "With my poor talent, I thought I would be in the Novice rank for life, but I was wrong. I'm at Elite rank now. Haha."
"Me too. I thought I would break through to the Elite rank in my late thirties. I'm still twenty-five, but I'm already at the Elite rank. I'm so happy."
"City mistress, I love you."
"City mistress, we love you."
"City mistress, you are the best lord."
"Long live, city mistress."
Due to how happy they were, they kept thanking her.
Scarlett, who saw her, smiled softly.
'Good!'
The stronger they were, the more powerful her city became.
As everyone was praising Scarlett, Evelyn and the others were on their way to Nightshire City.
Evelyn and her master were in a luxurious golden carriage, while ten female awakeners were guarding the carriage from all sides.
"Evelyn, are you sure they will allow outsiders to soak in their magical pool?" a mature lady spoke abruptly.
The mature lady had long silver hair and silver eyes.
Like Evelyn, she was a beautiful lady.
If Evelyn was like a fairy, then the mature lady was like a goddess.
In other words, her beauty could attract all kinds of men, from rich men to poor men and from strong men to weak men.
No man could take his eyes off her right after seeing her beauty.
It could be said most of them would fall in love at first sight after seeing her because she was so attractive.
The name of this mature lady was Aurelia Dixon, palace mistress of Misty Palace.
"Don't worry, master. They said they would let you soak in their magical pool. I'm sure they won't lie to us." Evelyn believed in Scarlett and Ace.
"It seems like you really believe in them." Aurelia uttered, "Now I wonder. What kind of relationship do you have with them?"
"I…" Evelyn could not finish her words because she did not know what to say.
Aurelia's lips curled up into a soft smile. "After we arrive at Nightshire City, you have to show me immediately the man who has stolen your heart."
"A…alright." Evelyn responded.
"I suddenly can't wait to reach Nightshire City." Aurelia uttered,
'I wonder. What kind of person he is?'
----
The following morning, Ace headed to the entrance gate after having breakfast with Scarlett and the others.
He did not protect the residents assigned to collect the wood because Colonel Louie had taken over the task.
That was why he decided to help the city guards build the entrance gate because the gate was still eighty percent complete.
"Ace, take a break first." Captain Noah shouted.
"Alright." After saying that, Ace walked toward Captain Noah and the others.
To their surprise, a luxurious golden carriage headed toward the entrance gate shortly after that.
"Whose carriage is that?"
"I don't know."
"Maybe someone from a rich family."
"I think so because the carriage is luxurious."
"Captain Noah, what should we do? Should we kick them out?"
"We are rebuilding our city, so we should not accept travelers."
The city guards were startled when they saw the luxurious golden carriage.
"I will tell them that we are currently not accepting travelers." After saying that, Captain Noah rose to his feet and walked toward the golden carriage.
One by one, the city guards followed Captain Noah.
After the coachman stopped the carriage, Evelyn greeted Captain Noah and the others. "Hello, everyone."
Captain Noah and the others were startled when they saw Evelyn getting out of the golden carriage.
Of course, they knew who she was because Ace took her around the city and introduced her to everyone last month.
"Miss Evelyn?" Captain Noah was relieved when he knew the owner of the carriage.
Like Captain Noah, Ace was also pleasantly surprised.
'Evelyn?'
