After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1981

Chapter 1981: Response from Holt City

The response was not entirely bad news, but not good news either.

It seemed like the one who knew most, the Crown Princess, was currently in seclusion, along with her husband.

People could not be forcibly woken from seclusion, otherwise the efforts over the period of time would dissipate. Althea and the others were in a rush, but they couldn’t make an enemy of a City, especially if it was related to the children.

Seclusion was different from their meditation, wherein elementalists would gather more elements to themselves to build their foundations. Seclusion was when a person was absorbing an aether crystal, which would directly improve the physique, mana, and HP pool, and therefore the level.

That said, they heard that Rowan received two crystals from his great-grandparents. Using one, he directly jumped a few levels to level 25.

He had mentioned that he wanted to send one to Alterra, but the source refused, and he could only respect their wishes.

They also found out that aether crystals had diminishing effects as the level went higher, so the next aether crystal wouldn’t even give a fraction of this effect.

Rowan’s first seclusion lasted a week, but fortunately, Silvia and his grandparents were there to hold the fort. For the Crown Princess’ case, it seemed like they had been in seclusion for more than a week now, and it was estimated they would be available within the next few days.

Fortunately, their assistants copied the bit of information they could find in the library and sent it to Alterra in the meantime, as they waited for the couple to emerge.

The letter was long, and it was impressive that they managed to copy so much about the subject within a few hours.

To summarize, the problem was really the excess of aether in bodies that could not handle it yet, much like what happened to her husband back then.

To contain it, use anti-aether tools.

This was something they actually had, albeit only one.

They placed the anti-aether pearl they got from the Basset Town war, and it fortunately did calm the fevers down, though the improvement was not big. They also had to use it alternatively between the two babies, with each one getting an hour at a time.

"The letter also says that the physique of those with awakened elf blood is different. They heal faster, they are more durable, but other than that, they do not know much," Zenno read. "There might be some more information, but those are less accessible to the assistants, so we can only wait.

"They mentioned that the crown princess was faster in absorbing crystals compared to the crown prince, so there is a possibility that we’ll receive more news from her soon."

Althea and the others nodded, though their attention never left the twins.

The babies, although with unusual qualities, still had human blood. Was there some sort of dissonance? When thinking of it this way, Althea wondered if this was some sort of disease that was their fault. If they inherited something bad—

It was only then that she noticed the [Alterra Town (Lv2) has won the war against Valov Town (Lv2)] notification.
