Arthur only smiled as he said:
"You are my three big pearls and treasures… tell me what is her goal and what's her weakness?"
'Should we exploit him for more benefit?' the golden dragon ignored him as if he was speaking to himself.
'He should grant us our wishes first.'
'…'
Arthur was speechless there for a moment before laughing, "Alright, if you don't do that I'll make sure you won't get any single benefit from me," he shook his head in disappointment before adding, "I'll create another technique where I won't need your help in it."
'Don't you dare!' Gege shouted in panic while Arthur laughed. "Just be a good girl and tell me everything."
His thoughts told her he was already thinking about creating another technique. 'Alright, I'll tell but don't create another one without me, please.'
"Say and I promise I won't," he said while waiting for his answer.
'She is trying to relay pillars around your city,' Gege said.
"She wants to summon that beast once more?" Arthur asked.
'I doubt that,' the golden dragon said, 'according to the description of the pillars she planted around the city in the past day she is trying to start a portal connecting to a higher realm.'
"And?" Arthur didn't get his meaning yet.
'Ding! She is trying to connect that upper realm whose responsibility was to summon the beast with your city.'
The system said it loud and clear making him realize the threat he was facing right now. "So she is ditching the plan to summon that beast and instead she is calling more reinforcements? Interesting… what about our efforts to connect with George?"
'Deem is busy building the cities and Doaf is busy securing the borders,' Gege said.
"No this won't do," Arthur shook his head, "send a word to Doaf, let him come here alone and leave others back there to secure the borders."
'Come here?' Gege asked, 'you mean that city?'
"Sure, we need the two to work together fast and also not to hinder the work going on here."
'I'll relay the orders now,' Gege hurriedly went to the tree and told her about this request.
"What about the weakness then?"
'She comes from the higher realm,' the golden dragon didn't directly answer the question, 'so to keep her former powers intact in large portions she needs to consume a potion every couple of hours.'
"A potion?" Arthur muttered before adding, "if so then she must have a large quantity in her ring, right?"
'Ding! That's what we figured out as well,' the system said, 'Ding! So in order to snitch her storage away we need you… ahem, to sleep with her.'
Arthur's face changed while an evil smile appeared over his face. "Are you sure it's safe?"
'She is a witch,' Gege returned with a rage of anger of her own, 'I don't like this plan.'
'This is the only plan, or else how could he snitch her rings?'
'She must aim for something, like planting her aura inside him or damaging his own energies or anything like this!'
'It's not a safe thing, but it's the only approach we have,' the golden dragon said.
'Ding! If you have a better solution then bring it on,' the system said.
"Alright, I'll think about this for now," Arthur stopped the about to erupt fight between the three, "but for now send a word to Amelia and let her know about these pillars' location."
'I've already asked her to take away all the pillars inside your city,' Gege said in a strict tone.
"Didn't she ask anything?" Arthur asked.
'She… trusts you wholeheartedly to not ask anything about your demands,' Gege sighed, 'the tree told her this was your words and she accepted the order without any hustle.'
"Good girl," Arthur nodded, "also warn her of Amanda, so she won't speak anything in front of her."
'I'll inform her now,' Gege went to silence once again while Arthur kept flying towards his new city.
Arthur went directly to the city where he found the building was still focused on the infrastructure. He didn't look for long as he found Deem easily standing in the middle of the top aiders of his.
"Lord," the moment Arthur descended Deem hurriedly greeted, "I've been looking for you," he said.
"Me too," Arthur said before adding, "speak first, what did you want to show me?"
Deem smiled in an embarrassed way as his thoughts were already revealed to Arthur. "I just wanted to show you the city so far, and take your opinion about the walls."
"Build them as usual," Arthur casually said.
"Not higher?" Deem asked, "don't you want it to have more towers?"
"We are building a city, not a fortress," Arthur laughed before adding, "but speaking about that it would be nice to build a nearby fortress to serve as a strong point of defense."
He paused for a moment there before saying, "also do this in the main key points in the entire diagram."
"Key points?" Deem muttered before realizing the importance of this place, "alright, I'll make sure the fortress here would be the crown jewel of my creation so far."
"I depend on you for that," Arthur smiled, "also I've another thing to discuss with you," he then glanced at the surrounding workers who got dismissed instantly by Deem.
And the latter nodded as a motion of his readiness to listen.
"Doaf will come soon," Arthur said, "I want the two of you to start the grand array of connecting here with the upper realm."
"This…"
"I didn't come here for the sightseeing y'know," Arthur winked before adding, "this city lies in the heart of the entire diagram, and it's the most suited place to build such a thing among other cities."
Deem knew how hard it was to do such an array, and also knew how far important it was.. "It might take a long time," he muttered preparing an excuse in case he failed.
