'The forest here?' the golden dragon suggested.
"Not enough," Arthur shook his head, "I doubt even one location can be enough."
'Ding! Do you have what you'll use to allure them?' the system already guessed his way to take monsters in custody. 'Ding! Any treasure from your lowly world won't work here y'know.'
"I have a better way," Arthur cracked a wide smile and before he could add anything, Gege finally arrived.
'It's as the wise system thought… we need more, much more monsters than the ones inside.'
"Indeed," Arthur muttered before adding, "can you ask the tree to scan for locations with many monsters?"
'Nearby?'
"Anywhere is fine."
'Alright,' she said before pausing, 'by the way, what will you use to allure them?'
"The meat," Arthur smiled widely before adding, "a raw Golam's meat or any other higher monster's meat. These will drive them crazy."
'You…' the golden dragon paused before laughing, "are very savage my dear dragonair.'
"Hahaha, just learnt from the best," Arthur winked before adding, "let's wrap things here. We have many tasks in hand. Just ask the tree about these locations, and the system will help to deliver."
'Ding! Me?' the system was taken aback.
"Hahaha, don't be startled like this, I didn't mean you by you," Arthur laughed while the system kept his frowned silence.
"I'll ask you to ask her to help," Arthur winked again and this time his system got the message.
'Ding! The world's will…'
"Indeed," Arthur nodded, "as long as we are going to help her to break free from here, she has to help as well."
'Ding! So you'll accept her conditions?'
"Gege, what do you think?"
'I can do it,' Gege excitedly said, 'but I'll need first to evolve.'
'Hahaha, we thought you'd say so,' the golden dragon laughed and she didn't object this time.
After all she seemed not to need that evolution but asked for it as a bonus.
"We'll see about that," Arthur smiled before adding, "Now prepare a large number of small pieces of these meat and bring me a list of places with monsters and give them to the system."
'Right away,' she said before complaining, 'why do I feel like acting as a postman here?'
Gege didn't take long before she returned with a long list of places. She also stacked large amounts of meat pieces of Golam and other monsters inside the garden.
'Ding! She agreed,' the system said after an hour of silence, 'Ding! She didn't want to do so, but after long negotiations she agreed.'
"Alright," Arthur rubbed his hands before the system added:
'Ding! But she asks for you to be moved around.'
"Me?" Arthur muttered in surprise before laughing, "no problem, I'll just write bird's wings to everyone then we can move."
'Ding! Alright, I'll inform her to be ready then.'
Arthur wrote letters to Amelia and Deem, also to Doaf and others distributing their tasks. He put the priority of securing his new cities and bringing more refugees to be on the top of the list.
He also asked Amelia to keep sending more reinforcement to this city while asking her to be quite cautious about Amanda. He asked her about the runes he asked to be extracted and she wrote back saying she did the job already.
"We are ready to go," Arthur said after receiving Amelia's letter, "let's go."
'Ding! Hang tight, this might be quite uncomfortable.'
Arthur felt a strong traction force which pulled him forcibly and moved him at great speed. "Sigh," the moment he landed he stood up from the deep crater while adding, "it has been so long since feeling such force."
'Ding! You are now in place one,' the system said, 'Ding! What do you plan to do?'
"Gege… spread out as many portals as possible," he said before closing up his eyes and ventured deeply inside his garden. The next moment he waved his hand and a few pieces appeared.
"Make sure to surround this place tightly with portals," he said while hearing massive roars coming from all over the hill he was standing upon. "Let's go, let them come and have all the feast they dreamt of," he sneered as any monster would be strangled by his tight network of portals that Gege just deployed.
And then he felt the same traction force once more before violently crashing.
"Damn! This isn't getting any better," he cursed while standing up from the deep crater and ingested couple of healing pills.
'Ding! She can't control her powers properly.'
'She is intentionally doing this!' Gege exclaimed in anger.
'She is just too strong and you are too weak,' the golden dragon sneered.
"Alright, stop wasting time," Arthur decisively said while ignoring this embarrassing topic, "Gege… spread the portals like usual."
He was standing on top of a gigantic mountain, surrounded by many peaks which penetrated the clouds. The moment he took out the meat pieces mighty roars erupted from all over the place.
"Also add more portals in the air," he said while glancing over the thick cloud of dark color that erupted all of sudden from a distant peak, "make this place an impregnable fortress."
'On it,' Gege hurriedly executed the order and Arthur noticed the sudden appearance of many portals to surround every single space around the peak.
"Great, take us to the next location," he said and the next moment he moved fast to appear at another location.
He kept jumping and relaying the meat everywhere. Some places were on top of mountain peaks, others were deep down bottomless pits, while some were on the surface and others were on hills.
Yet after a hundred jumps he met something he couldn't deal with.
"This…" he gulped for air after falling deep in the middle of a raging ocean.
'Ding! This is one of the places the tree provided,' the system reasoned as he didn't know this location would be in such a strange place.
"Anyway," Arthur sighed as he tried to stabilize himself before adding, "Gege… take out a large piece of land to act as an island," he said before the next moment an island appeared that stretched for a couple of miles.. "Let's see if this would work."
