Alaric's life had become relatively simple. Aside from paperwork, there wasn't much to do. So, he busied himself with meditation and directly checking in on the various businesses of Ooze Town.
'Well, by now, it can be considered a city...' Alaric thought.
His agents in Rila had spread enough propaganda that people with even a slightly rebellious mindset began to move to Ooze. With Clarus building each territory in the direction Alaric set, not only Ooze Town had increased in population.
Farmers, miners, the wealthy, and even those that wanted to become stronger had all taken to one of the other 5 villages. Ryder Village had become something of a suburban area, used for housing that was close to Ooze Town, but not as expensive.
But, with the expansion increasing in speed every day, Ooze Town had definitely become large enough to be considered "Ooze City."
Put simply, this was a prosperous era for Alaric's kingdom.
