"You know if you weren't hated by the misty cloud sect before you surely will be now." Xiao Ding says following me out if the city gate.
"Well I did just steal a heavenly flame from their chief alchemist and he might have an idea on me stealing all his alchemy knowledge. Imagine all the favors and materials he wasted hiring people. Not to mention losing his spatial ring to pay for Cai lins dress he burned. I'm pretty sure it contained all his fortunes." I laugh.
Even I'm not dumb enough to keep all my items in one area. I keep stuff in the inventory, the gate, my personal trunk, the kingdom has a treasury as well.
I mean who knows what kind of emergencies could happen.
"They are probably going to send people after you now in greater force, If it was me I'd set a massive bounty aswell. Plus they could go after us since we are family and now that your the king of the snake men that's also a target so what do you plan to do?" he asked me.
"That's a fair point." I say looking back at the massive kingdom. A bright red ring pops up behind me before vine spread out from around my body digging into the earth. Wave after wave of earth is moved as the city is slowly lifted from the ground and sucked into the kingdom.
"Well they can't really give me problems if they can't find the kingdom." I reply to the dumbstruck man who has no idea what I just did.
"I can let your group join my mercenary group or show you a different way of life. My kingdom could use a sweet adventurers guild. Of course I'll have to keep the snake men and your group separate from my normal people for a while until you guys learn the proper rules. I'd hate to have to destroy people for trying to enslave my people." Speaking of that I use my divine senses and lock onto all the slave snakewomen in the area and drag them into the kingdom aswell. All over the desert and anywhere that had snake people they dissapear. Human slaves in the snake kingdom where also taken away. We don't do slaves.
"I'm sure father would enjoy you guys company and maybe even help out with the group." I point out.
"I'll discus it with some members and see if they want to move. Are they allowed to bring their families?" he asks.
"Sure but warn them if they try anything funny with my people it will be the last thing they do." I tell him.
I have the magic carpet fly him back to desert rock city to talk with his group.
I teleport into the kingdom to lay down the law to the shocked snakemen who now live in a nice plains area.
Of course there are always people who try to demand their property back and such I wait til they are all done before just throwing them right out of the kingdom.
A mist flies over the people. "So anyone else unhappy with my rules or don't want to be here." There where quite a few people who shouted yes. So I chucked those people out aswell. Veritaserum filled mist. Great for large crowds.
The rest of the people all seemed content. Still we have to watch over them for a while.
I lost a couple hundred people but I don't really care. Medusa doesn't seem to mind either. She was a tyrant before so she knows what it means to get rid of anyone with rebellious thoughts right away. However she would have just killed them.
"I don't want to get blood all over my new kingdom streets." I inform her.
Odd but reasonable.
some house elves pop up in front of me. "Can you guys fix up the area and distribute basic items. If anyone tries anything just slap them around a bit." I tell them.
"Yes master." came the squeaky replies before they popped away and started doing magic repairs and cleaning.
Of course I could use the kingdom to do this but then they get unhappy. We don't want unhappy house elves I had to even turn off some of the auto cleaning for the main cities or they would grumble at me that they had nothing to do but cook.
I tried to let them learn other skills but they complained. with farming the stuff they planted grew too fast and there were no weeds to pull. There where too many fish and they caught them too fast for fishing to be fun. They had all sort of complaints that the kingdom was too clean and efficient.
I have to admit I did turn off grow time on lots of the plants in my personal patches so it would slow the fuck down. Fucking turn around and everything i just planted was half grown already piss off.
So the question is what would I do next. The other heavenly flame I know about is in an Academy if I remember right. Registration for that doesn't start for quite a while so I'll probably head back to the mercenary city and study the alchemy information i took from gu he. see if I can get the association to set up the tests I need. With my new spirit limiter I'm much better at alchemy aswell and if need be we can always cheat.
