Instead of all the emptiness here, the entire place was crowded with masters.
William intended to replicate the same thing he did before at the Scorching Lands city. He wanted to make the internal branch into something exclusive to a few selected members, like how the Fox Lair was.
As for the rest of the guild members, they could just be at the outer guild branch. However, this was something he nor his vices could do.
The sheer number of the masters who joined the guild was too much to control. This war was different, it didn't happen back at a nameless place in the world, but in a place which was considered the crown jewel in this part of the world.
News spread far and wide about how William and his guild performed in this war, especially William's deed. Zin wasn't stingy in his praise and described till the tiniest details what happened.
The fact that there were monsters changing their skin and becoming masters was a heaven defying new concept for most of those who heard such news. Only a few who got to learn about the existence of Mutants by different means didn't get surprised by this. In fact, they heaved a deep sigh of relief.
Who would have believed them if they came out and shouted at a few masters as being monsters? But now, and after such shocking tales spreading from this city to the rest of the continent, masters started to learn little information about these weird creatures.
William also asked Zin to focus on their main traits, and the thing that could differentiate them from anyone else, the crystals in their foreheads.
William didn't mind sharing such facts with everyone in the world. After all, he was going to have his own headache while dealing with the Nightmare monster. And if such knowledge were widespread, then his task would grow easier. But William knew this issue wasn't like how news spread about dark masters or the Scarlet Bears.
It'd take longer time and much effort before the community of spirit masters would pay full attention to such threatening folks. But for now, William threw all this behind his mind, and started walking in the bustling streets of the city.
The city did indeed change. The inner city didn't change that much in terms of the size or the space of the streets. But just looking at the grand new buildings lining the streets, the ones that towered for ten floors or more, seeing the crowded masters walking and chatting among themselves, forming something close to a sea of people out there, made William nod in satisfaction.
This was just the initial effect after two weeks of rebuilding the city. After waiting for a bit longer, he was sure the city would grow more, not only in the activities and the number of masters visiting it, but also in size.
William already sent a message over to Lara. And when William arrived at her place, he couldn't help but smile.
"She really liked this tower…" William stood in front of what was before the grand Spar Arena. Right now, the arena was gone, and only a grand tower remained there, with a big, rounded wall and lots of buildings filling the inner place.
William was warmly welcomed and led to the inside of the Vancouf Tower zone. There he found Lara waiting for him at the top of the tower, where she surrounded the place with a dome of glass, and lots of extravagant furniture.
The view from here was indeed something else. But that wasn't what attracted William's attention.
"Last time I met you, you were living in a hole underground calling it a family heritage or something, hahahaha!" he laughed the moment he noticed how greatly different this place was from the rotten office she used to take as a base.
"My ancestors made their legacy, and it's just right for me to do the same, right?" she chuckled, didn't take his comment in any ill way, "please sit. I already heard the news. Your people seem a lot excited about this adventure."
"They already spread the news to reach you? Wow! I left them less than an hour ago," William faintly smiled, realising he underestimated the eagerness in his vices about finishing this adventure and heading towards the kingdom's capital.
"You can't blame them," she laughed, sitting in front of him with a dress that didn't suit any spirit master at all. She seemed to take a bit care of what she wore, exposing both of her shoulders and most of her back. Not to mention the high cut in that dress, which revealed big parts of her smooth skin and legs when she placed one leg over another.
She didn't sit opposite to him to get shielded by the big desk made out of brown ores. She sat just next to him, to let him feast over her beauty for a little longer.
"You do know you have to wear armour and gears all the time, just for your safety," he commented, while looking at her body with curiosity.
"I prefer to wear like this around trusted friends, and that list includes only you," she was satisfied with his reaction, seemingly enjoying his daring eyes.
"Tell me then, how is the family?" But William wasn't a youth who'd get controlled by his desire or lust. He controlled and behaved himself, knowing exactly what she wanted to do with him by wearing and sitting like this.
He already got girls fighting on him, but to be honest, he admitted that they all paled compared to her alluring and mature figure.
"It's ok," she chuckled, "I got total control over the family now. As for those traitors who stood on Richard's side, they got properly punished."
"Nice," William paused, "how about the city? I saw lots of changes there."
"The grand project of rebuilding the city attracted many forces' attention. Right now we have tens of forces wanting to have a base here, applying to join the upper echelon."
