Kaizel Emel Asteria(6)

[ Ding ! Host completed the mission to show off his wealth . Reward : Draw chance ×5 Obtained]

The system notification he finally opened after the full night of rest.

Kai indeed had a good rest . He wasn't worried about information leaking for a few days for now . The gaurdian shield cast already enveloped the whole Duchy . Not even a bird could enter or exit without his permission. Although the gaurdian shield isn't that strong , he wasn't worried for now. It's appearance of golden transparent wall enveloping whole duchy is already deterrent enough. The ahield would last for 3 months if it isn't broken.

3 months is already too good of duration for him who has nothing for now.

He wasn't in a hurry to use up his draw chances. He first invited Hans to his office.

No matter what , even if it was repaired, Aster castle was just a name given to the castle for the Duke . The true Royal palace of Asteria was already under the rule of Azure in one of the ceded territories.

Hans and Kai decided to start the recruitment of new talents first and then start with paving the ways with black rock gravel in the whole duchy.The age limit he set was already very lax compared to what he was taught in system afministration.

...

" 2,343 candidates have applied with each telling thier specifications. 1229 are awakened among them ." , Hans told Kai the report.

He himself was surprised and felt trembling in his hands for the first time. Such terryfying number of awakened was laid waste in the duchy.

" Divide them according to thier abilities and I will personally assign each of them thier jobs" ,he said , " And put the rest of the talent to immediate work . "

" Those with experience in construction, let them supervise and help in laying of pavement first . Rest , You put those who can calculate and do finance in different departments as logistics member. They are very important . "

Out of 1229 awakened, 389 had physical abilities of various types, 469 had elemental abilities of 6 major elements , only 71 had abilities related to mind domain , the rest nearly 300 had auxillary abilities.

In three weeks , all candidates gathered in the now deserted and in repair training ground for knights.

All young men and women to the age of 25 gathered , thier faces lit with excitement.

Kai put the physical abilities in the special gaurds team. He would make them the strongest defenders of Duchy. He would personally train them.

Those with mind ability were limited but excellent. 17 of which have a large scale control ability like illusion. 5 had hypnosis of varying strength.The rest are with enhanced memory or calculation ability . telekinesis, telepathy.

He put 34 youngsters with memory related ability to work under Hans. During this period , they would learn management of castle as well as various works. This mind sound irresponsible but this was how much work Hans does, he was practically all rounded butler.

He put the 37 young people to be trained with physical abilities first and then he would make them the excellence of intelligence squad after certain training.

Those with Earth element worked to help in paving roads, The people with water element were sent to control water flow in various regions so as not to be disturbed by flood again. Fire and wind elements were a part of beast cleaning teams with physical warriors.

mutated abilities like thunder and ice with high attack power were also sent out to hunt . The meat of beasts is best supplement to an awakened.

The wood elementals were limited and were each sent to nearby township to help in farming. Some also had special derivative abilities like healing .He turned them into a team to help the injured.

No one complained.

How could they complain.They couldn't wait to start performing at all, Because the reward Kai promised them was too good for them to reject. Kai promised them a treasure to enhance thier ability one step further. Kai first used the two enhancement cards left to him after he used one for Hans.

The obly two dual line awakened were shocked with what happened to them .

A young slender looking teenager with Space and Physical ability was dumbfounded. His spacial dimesion that was supposed to be 10 cubic metres large was 100 cubic metres in size now. He was overjoyed. the other youth was also ecstatic. His ability was memory enhancement and enhanced vision. He was also the candidate Kai privately chose for butler training with Hans.

Looking at the two young men , the crowd drooled at the treasure that could change thier whole lives.

Everything went in an orderly manner.

The seamstresses and tailors also worked day and night for making new uniforms of knight division from red spider silk cloth .

It was light , thin , breathable with high defensive capabilities.

The contract with Bovate town was signed a few days ago .

The uniform was dyed black in color and a golden silk thread edges made it look like a 3 piece suit for prince rather than knight .There was the symbol of Asteria embroidered on chest of each uniform in Golden threads meticulously. Those heavy metallic armors were thrown to ground now. Those with metal abilities were sent out to sense metal mines in the duchy with gaurds from the castle and two knights Kai trusted. Metal abilities such use made even Hans speechless. He wanted to know which demon touched Kai in past months for this abnormal change like a complete new person.

He didn't doubt that it wasn't Kai . He knew Kai too well to not recognise him .

After assigning tasks to everyone , Kai was too tired these days ,A week later , he finally found himself time to be peace ful after assigning all tasks. When no one bothered him anymore, Kai jumped to his bed and lay paralysed wanting to give few Karnells to bed telling it how much he loves his bed .

Poor Kai.

.....

Back in his room , Kai relaxed like never before. He realised his ambition was too big to be supported by the small ability he could exert . He not only underestimated the Empire but also overestimated himself. With the help of the unknown system , he thought he could win the world. Such arrogance.

But the reality told him to wake up . These days he was too tired.

Benefits are indespensable for everytime he wants people to work for him . Even if he is thier lord, people would still need to eat and drink. The previous 1000 gold was like water running downhill already.

setting the wages of ordinary workers at 10 copper each day and 1 silver for awakened, his pockets were empty already .

He set them to choose the method to get thier wages.

People could get thier wages every evening after 12 hours of work or they could take thier wages every 7 days. accumulated.

This gave him time to breathe a little. The population of Asteria Duchy was currently more than 9,00,000 approximatiely. It wasn't too large but wasn't too small either .

Although there were too many beasts in the forests, there weren't much hunters to hunt for them . Thus , the clothes made by beast skin weren't much popular.

Beast meat was also neglected since some beasts are pisonous leading to death upon consumption .

.....

Kai shook his head and entered the system space with the draw option in front of him.

' system ! Use all my draw chance together', he said in his mind.

Soon , a spinning wheel kept rotating and stopping and repeating the process five times.

A series of notifications rang in his ears .
