Hikaru then continued talking to Shala: "Translate what I just said directly and accurately without using modest words."
Shala nodded, "Yes, Master."
She translated the entire content of Hikaru's sentence as accurately as possible for Lizaro. After listening to this, Lizaro frowned and replied, "Sorry, I can't decide on this. I need to discuss this with my father."
"I give you two days. If there is no response in two days, we will kick everyone out of this place. "
Hikaru's voice was ominous as he said this. Although Lizaro didn't know what Hikaru had just said because of the language difference, he could guess what Hikaru had said.
After Shala translated Hikaru's sentence back to Laziro, he let out a sigh and nodded, then went out.
Hikaru looked at the remaining people and started thinking about how to use them properly. Suddenly, he asked Rika: "If I let Darnag renovate the territory and then level up the territory, will there be any conflict?"
[No, Master. However, I suggest that you let Darnag renovate the territory first, and then promote the territory later. After leveling up, the existing buildings will be promoted and you will receive additional buildings that you do not have.]
Hikaru frowned and asked, "But before the territory's renovation is complete, it will take a long time."
[Master, you don't have to wait till then. Just complete the building for the landlord.]
Hikaru nodded, then ordered, "Darnag, you will lead the reclamation of the territory. First, let's speed up the renovation of the main building. The training of the farmers will be put on hold as
They will participate in the renovation and construction of the territory. Besides, Anno and the Dark Elves will have to participate in the work."
"Wait! Why do I have to work?" Anno suddenly stood up and shouted.
"Then you can leave!"
"Eh?" Anno was scared. Hikaru's eyes were scary. It was like she was facing a bloodthirsty monster and this made her tremble. Anno then bowed her head as if in agreement.
Hikaru then continued, "Saraya and Shala will be in charge of finding more races to replenish the territory's workers. Sherwin and Petran, the two of you are in charge of finding resources for the territory, including: food, stone materials, wood, iron, or anything else. Mika will assist Darnag in preparing food for everyone. As for Vuni, you will be in charge of the safety of the territory."
"Does everyone understand?"
"Yes, Master!"
Hikaru nodded in satisfaction. He then added Sherwin, Petran, Shala, Mika, and Darnag to the list of people who could benefit from his talent - The King and The Summoner Medal.
Sherwin and Petran were immediately startled because they felt their strength increase dramatically. In fact, the effects of Hikaru's Talent-The King, and The Summoner Medal greatly increased their stats. The King could help their allies increase their strength and recovery speed by 40 %and also reduce 40% of the mana needed to use magic when fighting.
Also, the people benefiting from the Talent-The King can communicate with each other through thoughts even if they are far apart.
In addition, the effect of Hikaru's The Summoner Medal also helps the stats of those who are slaves or monsters he summons x3.
All information related to Hikaru's Talent-The King, and The Summoner Medal automatically appeared in Sherwin and Petran's minds, and this instilled fear in them. Although they were both surprised, Sherwin and Petran remained silent, and they both understood why Hikaru was so strong.
Having done that, Hikaru teleported back to the cave below, where everyone who stayed there looked at each other and fell silent again. Anno then returned to her own room. Darnag looked at everyone and said, "For now, I will try to build temporary houses for everyone before starting to build the main building. However, I need more workers.
Saraya and Shala both nodded. Shala said, "I understand. I will try to find as many people as I can."
Suddenly, Petran spoke up, shaking his head and saying, "I think it's going to be difficult."
Shala's face showed a puzzled look, then she asked him: "Why?"
"Didn't you see the rampage just now? If I'm not wrong, it almost destroyed all the monsters and creatures around us. If you and Saraya hadn't come back, I'm afraid you'll both have... died."
Everyone who heard this shivered, and they all had the same opinion that if they were outside, the explosion would have turned them to dust. Petran was right, the creatures around were definitely dead. And if they wanted to find more living things, they needed to go further.
However, the further away from the territory, the more dangerous it was. And If there was danger, it would be difficult to return to the territory.
Shala sighed: "Haizz, that's right. Besides, we still don't know what caused the explosion. If it's from some monster, then our territory is in danger. "
When everyone heard Shala's words, they felt scared. A monster or someone who caused the explosion? So, is this territory under threat?
Sherwin glanced at everyone cowering in fear and frowned. He didn't think that Hikaru hid his powers so well that the people inside his territory didn't even know about them.
Sherwin was about to speak up, but he thought that if Hikaru didn't explain, he didn't have the right to do so, so he left. Petran saw Sherwin leave and followed him.
Outside, Petran followed Sherwin and shouted, "Stop!"
Sherwin stopped walking. He turned his head to look at Petran and said, in a very cold voice, "Want to avenge your friend?"
Petran immediately became angry. He looked at Sherwin with an annoyed look: "Revenge? Of course, I want revenge, but I know I'm no match for you."
"Then shut up. Besides, your friend is still alive."
"What?!" When Petran was surprised, he shouted, "No way, I saw him die."
"That's right, he died, but it was only a trick. You and I are the same; we are both pawns."
Petran was still surprised because he didn't understand what Sherwin was saying, or perhaps he didn't want to believe it.
"Impossible. You…" Suddenly, Petran fell silent.
Then Sherwin sighed and told Petran what he knew. He told Petran who he believed Dogish was, why he met Morital and what he thought of everything.
After listening to this, Petran sighed, then he started thinking that the feelings he once had for Dogish were now meaningless. Seeing this, Sherwin only said, "Then... why did you choose to be Hikaru's slave?"
Petran heard Sherwin's question and laughed, "I have my reasons. I can't tell you for the time being because I can't trust you yet."
Sherwin glanced at Petran, sensing him pretending to be mysterious like an idiot. They are all Hikaru's slaves. Why can't they be trusted? However, Sherwin didn't ask much, he just said: "Don't think that Hikaru is weak. The rampage just now was caused by him.
After saying that, Sherwin turned to leave, leaving Petran excited again. Petran thought: "Is that bombardment caused by Hikaru? Sure enough, Sherwin has no reason to lie to me. That's marvelous, so that's the power that the Void Lord gave Hikaru?'
Petran now felt that the decision he made was right.
…
In the living room, everyone had left; only Saraya and Shala were still sitting. Saraya's face showed sadness. Shala saw this and asked: "What's wrong, Saraya?"
Saraya sighed: "Haizz, it seems Master... doesn't like me."
"Why do you think so?"
Saraya said dejectedly, "He didn't touch me, nor did he talk to me much. Is it... am I so bad? Besides, I was defeated by Anno. Maybe... I'm really useless. "
Shala smiled and replied, "Don't worry. Do you love Master? "
"Love?" Saraya heard that and blushed, her face as red as a ripe apple. She then said: "That's right."
"Hm... that's strange. Why did you fall in love with Master? Is it because of the slave contract, or is this what you truly want?" Shala asked, confused.
Saraya suddenly froze. Yes, she had very little contact with Hikaru. However, when she first met him, she fell in love with him. She didn't know if those were her true feelings or not.
Shala then continued speaking, "Saraya, I think you should clarify your feelings first. I like Master too, but I know for sure it's not love. You're different. You're a Royal Succubus, right? "
Saraya nodded.
Shala: "Then the more you have to understand what love is. You should remember that the first time of a Royal Succubus is very important. If you sleep with the Master without loving him, it will be harmful to you and the Master. "
Saraya, of course, knew that. She dropped her head dejectedly on the table, her eyes glazed over because she didn't understand herself. Shala sighed and said, "Listen! If you want to determine your feelings, why not meet him?"
"But... The Master is busy; besides, we also have a mission to carry out." Saraya replied.
"Then there's no need to worry." Suddenly, a sound resounded, and Vuni came in from outside, her face still showing a friendly smile.
"What do you mean?"
Vuni said with a smile, "There aren't too many races or creatures around us right now because of the previous bombardment, so it's not necessary to go out and look for more workers."
"But..." Sayara was a little scared because if she didn't go out, she wouldn't be able to complete the task Hikaru gave her.
"Don't worry..." Vuni advised: "I will take care of that. You and Shala should stay in the territory to help the others. Besides that,
Vuni stopped talking halfway. She looked at Saraya and smiled as if she had just discovered something interesting.
…
In the cave below, Hikaru used his mind to communicate with Larry. Many days had passed, and he didn't know if Larry had successfully infiltrated the castle or not.
"Larry, are you there?"
"I'm here, Master." Larry replied, "I have successfully infiltrated the castle."
When Hikaru heard that, he used Talent—The King to see the scene inside the castle.
Soon, he saw a busy residential area; however, everything seemed to be very gloomy. Larry was walking down a road full of puddles of extremely stinky and dirty water. Hikaru could see that on the two sides of the road were ramshackle wooden houses, Hikaru believed that a strong wind could knock them down.
The place was very dark. The only sources of light were balls of light floating in the air about twenty meters above the ground. However, they were like bulbs that had been used for a long time but had not been replaced, so the light was very weak. The light did not even illuminate the surroundings.
