"Now then, now it's time to discuss the reason why I really gathered you all here." Colin said, the seven of them changed their venue once more to the courtyard of the hotel.
"I have four objectives. First, I plan to build a wall around the town. Second, I need Bartus and his guild to help mine and create the weapons, armour, cursed regalias and storage rings for my family. Third, I'm gonna need to evolve the rest of my members into tier 4s. And last, I'm gonna create a farm and I want Melissa to manage it. Any questions?" Colin asked and three hands raised into the air
"First of all, if you plan to build a wall with just [Earth Affinity] then don't bother, a demon with decent strength can easily break through." Lily said, crossing her arms
"Which is why I'm not planning to use just [Earth Affinity], I was planning to ask you to use another defensive array on the wall." Colin said and Lily snorted
"It would take months to create a wall around the entire town and create a defensive array with just the demonic energy of the members of your family. And I'm assuming you want it to cover the entirety of your domain. The quickest way to do this is to get hundreds of soul crystals affinitied to earth. But even with that it would take a week or two. So, how many earth affinitied soul crystals do you have? " Lily asked and Colin smirked. He waved his hands and all the cores in his storage ring fell out, creating a large pile beside them. Looking at the pile, Bartus started to drool a bit as he wondered just how much he could make by trading these, but one in particular caught his eye and he quickly picked it up.
"Where did you get an Amalgamation crystal?" Bartus asked, picking up the soul crystal of the Parasitic Evergreen Forest.
"From a demonic plant." Colin answered and Bartus trembled in excitement.
"By any chance, do you know what affinity it is?" He asked and Colin used [Chaos Eyes] on the crystal.

"Nature Affinity." Colin answered and Bartus started to caress the crystal lovingly, causing Colin to cringe
"Why the hell are you doing that?" Colin asked
"Do you have any idea what I can do with a nature affinitied amalgamation crystal? Of course you don't, you ignorant demon, so let me enlighten you. Nature Affinity is the most versatile affinity that exists, why you ask? Because it can use a limited version of all affinities except hellfire, heavenly flames, life and death affinity. If I could get someone with the corresponding affinity, I could melt this bad boy down and make some really good items." Bartus said, while continuing to caress the crystal.
"So you can create storage rings then." Colin said and Bartus thought for a second, before nodding his head
"That's right. I should be able to create atleast 30 or so from this. But I'm gonna need your help." Bartus said, pointing at Leia
"Sorry to interrupt you two, but I think we only have just enough to build the wall. But that's only an estimate." Lily said, she had seperated the Earth Moles' soul crystals from the rest, and Colin estimated that there was atleast eighty of them.
"Can't we use these?" Colin asked, picking up the soul crystal of a Subterranean Earth Worm.
"Uhm, I'd rather not. This crystal contains both earth and poison. I would need to modify the array. My knowledge of runes is not enough to modify them to this extent." Lily said and Colin turned to Bartus
"Don't look at me, my knowledge of runes if even less than the princess." Bartus said
"Fine, we'll have to hunt more moles in the Mountains." Colin said
"About the mountains, just how many cursed ores did you find?" Bartus asked
"I'm didn't go too deep in, but there is more than enough." Colin said and Bartus squinted his eyes disapprovingly
"You do know that we are going to need cursed ores to create the equipment for the forges as well create cursed weapons and the items you requested." Bartus said
"Can't you use your affinity to make the equipment?" Colin asked and Bartus scoffed
"No, if we use our affinities then they will not produce the best results. We can't draw runes on items created by our affinities and if you want us to create powerful items for you, then we are going to need durable equipment that can get the job done." Bartus said and Colin sighed
"You guys might need to explore the mountains even more thoroughly. I can send a few werewolves to help you....once they are ready." Colin said and Paul looked at him puzzled
"Ready? What do you mean by ready?" Paul asked and Colin looked at him for a second, before punching him in the face. It was a light jab, not even enough to hurt a tier 3 much less a tier 4 like Paul, but still, Colin achieved the intended effects. Black mist surrounded Paul and he soon transformed into his full werewolf form, growling and snarling at Colin. Colin looked him in the eyes and used his [Chaos Eyes] intimidating him, forcing him to change back.
"Sorry." Paul said
"Your instincts are more in control than you and you and the other werewolves need to learn the [Meditation] trait. If you guys want to leave the territory that is." Colin said and Paul gulped
"...I understand."
"Good." Colin replied and he saw one more hand raised.
