King's Rule: Creating the Strongest Kingdom With My Broken Talent-Chapter 11: Ananta’s First Meeting

The sun of the second day finally set.

Ten Cottage Houses were placed spaciously inside the cavern.

Two Sawmills and Two Grinders were outside.

Ten Watch Towers spread out to grant absolute vision and attack from ballistas.

The outside territory was in the shape of half star, with the missing portion of the star being the entrance of the cavern.

Each Watch Tower had not one, but two Ballistas, and a stock of 100 Bolts in each tower.

The tools were never free.

People took turns farming woods and stones all around and worked hard through the day to build the territory before finally having a feast at night.

The newly built Tailoring Shop was also ready. Vesh learned how to use the tools and do everything using King’s Rule and then taught it to others.

One young man, aged 17, volunteered to focus on it as he was good with it and wanted to be a tailor.

Most importantly, Vesh also made a small farm of berries.

Using King’s Rule, he basically told himself to prepare the soil for berries and plant the seeds for a bountiful harvest.

With that, in just one hour, a flawless berry farm of 30 x 30 meters was built at the south corner of the outside territory.

He planned to make one more farm of this size at a symmetrical corner in the north, but of different types of berries.

Vesh, Kayan, and Arga also worked together to build a large well, sized 10 meters in diameter and 15 meters in depth, containing approximately 1.1 million litres of water, or in other words, 311,000 US gallons of water.

Arga also created glass balls using his Fire Mastery, burning wood, and sand.

These glass balls were used to contain Ravina’s light bulbs, allowing them to illuminate a larger area than before.

Previously, they had a problem of ceiling, but with the cavern being their main residency area, they didn’t need to build ceilings upward.

But it turned out that in Builder Mode, he could use the Stone Wall blueprint to act as a ceiling, too!

Not just that, he found out he could also flex the blueprint with his control, creating a stone pillar!

So Vesh readily built floors in the outside area, creating a mini-castle of sorts with battlements connecting the watch towers to place more Ballistas.

With that, he also built a gatehouse in the old style, creating a proper large gate for inspections and searches when carriages and other people enter inside.

The whole outside territory was also as large as a football field.

And Vesh finally named his territory.

[Ananta Kingdom]

Ananta meant Infinite/eternal, so his desire and ambition for his kingdom were clear.

After everyone had a feast and was full, people began taking turns to take duty on the two main watch towers to look out for trouble.

Vesh was ready and raring to become more powerful as he wasn’t feeling sleepy or tired at all.

And the reason was, of course, the fast increase in his Seed Force.

Seed Force was basically the source power of his existence because all basic lifeform parameters were related to it.

Under the beautiful moonlight, Vesh sat down at a table in a watch tower.

Arga, Rovina, Kayan, and Viana took the remaining seats.

"Now, let’s begin the first official meeting. The purpose of this meeting is simple. Learning about getting stronger." Vesh smiled. "First, I’ll share the knowledge I found using my King’s Rule talent and the two daily questions I had."

"First, all of us are considered Seed-rank Lifeform. We have a Seed in our life nexus, and it has Seed Force, which determines our overall power."

"In this topic, all D-rank resources have Seed Force, and D-rank is synonymous with Seed-rank. But D-rank also has a big chasm. Weakest are those with the lowest amount of Seed Force, like one to ten, andthe highest goes to ten thousand."

"Second, we have two types of recoverable energies. Stamina that drives our physical body, and Mana that drives a wide variety of our magical arsenal, from talents and the technical use of Mana. Both of these energies depend on Seed Force."

Vesh narrowed his eyes. "There are two ways to increase our Seed Force. One is through various talents that make it possible, like the one I have, and the other way is by consuming D-rank and higher magical resources, which we have found only two so far."

He put two things on the table.

One was an exotic, white mushroom with blue and purple patterns.

[D-rank Pelotear Wood Mushroom]

[Seed Force: 1993]

The other thing was a black flower with yellow spots.

[D-rank Dark Acid Flower]

[Seed Force: 2350]

"I have found how to use them to increase our Seed Force. I’ll demonstrate it, so focus."

Everyone nodded.

Vesh controlled his Mana and created a container with liquid Mana, with a perfect size to submerge the Dark Acid Flower completely.

"Since I learned this using King’s Rule. It should be the most efficient and perfect technique to refine a resource." Vesh grinned. "Or so, I hope. Viana will confirm it for us. And you all also please do if you get some memories about this."

Viana’s cheeks slightly flushed. "I only saw it a few times when my siblings used such resources. But the way you are doing this...is completely different than how they do it."

"Haha, that’s fine. Let’s see how it goes for me." Vesh looked at the flower. "I’m starting."

The container began glowing.

Everyone was observing, as in, they were infusing Mana into their eyes to get a better view of the magic in general, allowing them to see the fine details of how Vesh was controlling Mana to refine the flower.

’This is already advance use of Mana.’ Rovina’s eyes glinted as she saw the way Vesh was using Mana. ’I am sensing at least four or five different processes.’

’This is gonna be interesting to learn.’ Arga rubbed his beard. ’And a bit annoying. Reminding me of blacksmithing.’

Viana’s eyes were widening with shock.

Because the flower was visibly turning dimmer and weaker.

"T-This..." Viana’s words were stuck in her throat as the flower completely turned into dust inside the container.

"What the...that’s frigging twelve seconds of work," Kayan muttered. "I have seen resources getting refined at some advanced tech machines. Some memories of that flashed by. But they took over an hour to refine them. I have used a few, I think. They gave it to me in the form of serums after extracting it from resources."

Viana repeatedly nodded, her eyes still in shock. "You refined it too fast! My siblings take at least half an hour to refine a resource, and if it’s dangerous like the flower you used, it takes more time."

"Doing it too fast also means wasting it if not refined properly." Arga grinned. "Lord, tell us how much of your Seed Force increased with that flower.

Vesh smiled and checked his status.

[Vesh Auris]

[Life Rank: Seed | Seed Force: 2350]

[Swordsman | C-rank | Potential: 10✧/10✧]

[Arcane Cultivation | D-rank | Potential: 5✧/5✧]

"Oh, interesting. My Seed Force is the same as what that flower had." Vesh smiled. "That means I had 100% efficiency because when it comes to resources, we can only increase our Seed Force up to the same amount as the resource we use to increase it."

"I didn’t know that, or I have no memory of that." Kayan blinked. "But that’s good to know." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"I remember this." Rovina nodded.

"Your efficiency is crazy, milord." Arga grinned. "But we would like to see more to learn it."

"Yes." Viana nodded, sighing in amazement. "Your efficiency is scary with that speed."

"Well then..." Vesh grinned. "A special teaching class will begin tomorrow morning. I want you all to learn it within an hour by repeated practice as per my instructions."

Taking back the mushroom into his Inventory, Vesh continued.

"Now, moving on to the next and most important point of the meeting." Vesh’s expression turned somber. "The solution to solve the trouble following us, and the new main quest I got an hour ago."
