The Rise of the Black Plain
-
chapter-2114
After Minos' meeting with the four Gods, he made new agreements with the specialists, guaranteeing their groups more technology in the coming years.
Aurae, Maximillian, and Vico didn't ask much more of Minos than they had already given to many of their allies. None expected the Black Plain Empire to develop much further in the next five or ten years. Emperor Stuart's progress and state were remarkable enough to make even these Gods a little doubtful about the future. But their rational sides were stronger, and they doubted that this place would continue to develop.
So it wasn't too difficult for Minos to get those three away without having to deliver much more than he was already delivering.
As for Makai, he demanded more than his level 100 counterparts, so Minos would have to make a much more detailed deal to benefit that man's tribe.
Not only would Minos have to share data of everything his state would discover on its own, but he would also have to give everything the empire had, whether it was technology from allies or even citizens. Everything that came under the control of the empire had to be given to the Sky Whales.In addition, any local progress had to be reported to the tribe, even if it had nothing to do with alien technology.
Makai obviously wanted to know everything that was going on in the Black Plain Empire. Still, he didn't care if it was obvious to those involved or not. With his power, he wasn't afraid to displease even the other Gods!
Minos swallowed all this dryly, unable to refuse the Sky Whale leader's proposals.
He finished these updates on the old agreements he had with each of the forces of these 4 Gods and watched as the groups of Makai, Vico, Aurae, and Maximillian left his city to return to their own territories.
Meanwhile, Aarav approached him, seeing that Willow and Henry were still in the city, probably to continue Minos' old plans for them.
"Did you manage to convince them?" Aarav asked as he watched the groups of Gods leave.
Minos continued to look at where those level 100 cultivators had disappeared and said. "Yes. But I didn't intend to bring them to my Spatial Kingdom simultaneously... Sigh, things don't always go according to plan.""Why? Don't you want to attract attention?" The old man asked.
"That's the case," Minos muttered as he turned his attention to the many high-ranking experts in the city today.
Even with the departure of the four Gods and their groups, there were still more high-ranking Demigods in the city than Minos would have liked.
"I'll take you to the Spatial Kingdom after I talk to those two. I'll find an excuse to make them wait a little longer." Minos said, making the old man next to him excited to finally go into seclusion.
"I'll wait at the army headquarters."
With these words, Aarav left for the command center of the Black Plain Army, while Minos' wives came to his side to kill the longing of months without seeing him.
"How are things?" He asked, looking at the three women.
"Well, I'd say," Abby replied. "After you deal with Veora and the terrorists, there are hardly any local problems. The population is more cooperative than ever, and the only problems we have are the constant envoys from the higher powers interested in talking to the local government.
But we haven't had any new attacks since the fall of the terrorist leaders".
That was true throughout the Central Continent, which was finally at peace after all the trouble caused by the radicals.
There were still people who thought that surrender was the salvation of the world. But these people didn't talk about it openly, and their plans were a secret that only those involved would know about.
"What about the Gorgons?"
Ruth replied.
"They arrived in the empire last week. They're already at the post you assigned them earlier. So far, there have been no problems with them, so everything is going as planned."
"Very good." Minos smiled as he saw the two level 99 Demigods approaching his group.
"We'll talk about other things later. For now, let me handle the situation with these two."
As soon as he had said that, Minos turned his attention to Willow and Henry. "Your Majesties, seeing you in my city is good." He said with a smile. "You would like to speak with me privately, yes? Please come to my office. I'll take care of each of you individually."
Henry and Willow didn't know about the other's involvement with Minos, so they followed him without mentioning his intention to start their seclusion.
Soon, they were in front of Minos' office, where he would speak to Willow first since the woman had more seniority than Henry.
But what he would say to both of them would be basically the same. Dry City was too full of high-ranking Demigods, people from outside the empire who might spread worrying rumors if he sent them to his Spatial Kingdom now.
He didn't want to show the outside powers what kind of deal he had made with them, so he preferred to wait a few days to see if Dry City would lose some of these high-level curiosity seekers.
According to Minos, he would meet with some groups, and with the Gods leaving, the city would probably be back to normal in two weeks at the most. In the meantime, it would be interesting if they waited for him in other parts of the empire. As soon as everything was in order, he would call them to send them to the Spatial Kingdom.
The two of them easily accepted what Minos had in mind, knowing they had to be careful. They were talking about Divine Medicine!
If any information about it got out, even the four Gods would get involved in the conflict to take such things from Minos and them.
So the two level 99 Demigods quickly accepted Minos' advice and left Dry City with their respective groups to wait for Minos' call.
With that settled, Minos left his imperial palace and went to the army headquarters, where Aarav was already waiting for him.
It was time for the first level 99 Demigod to enter Minos' Spatial Kingdom!
He took a deep breath at the thought but didn't hesitate too long. Given his situation, there was nothing more to think about.
'After I resolve the situation of my three level 99 allies, I'll focus on my experiments in the Spatial Kingdom.' He thought to himself as he came face to face with Aarav.
