Chapter 4156: Valeron’s Dream (Part 1)

"It doesn’t need an imprint, but it can connect only to our internal network." The valet said while extending his hand with his palm out.

Lith begrudgingly tipped the young man and sent him on his way.

"Well, what do you think of this place?" Lith unstrapped the kids from their stroller and let them free to explore the Royal Suite.

"It’s gorgeous." Solus said. "I didn’t expect you to spend this much on a vacation."

"Solus!" Kamila became beet red in embarrassment.

"What? It’s the truth." She shrugged.

"It is." Lith sighed. "Yet it’s been too long since we have traveled without holing up here and there. We deserve to live up a little, especially considering we won’t be able to move around for a while once Ral is born."

"I love the Unicorn’s Pot, Lith." Kamila hugged him. "I really do. It’s a lovely present."

She knew how much gold Lith earned between his annuities and the mission rewards, but in the end, it was still his money, and she didn’t want to take it for granted.

"Then I expect you not to call me the Miser Magus for at least three months after we get back home." He replied.

"I’ll do my best." She chuckled.

"By the way, Mom, how do you know so much about Amrok?" Solus asked. "Earlier, you sounded like a tour guide."

"Back in my day, I came here often." Menadion replied. "As the coachman said, Valeron the First used the infrastructures of what was left of the empire to build the Kingdom you see today.

"Lochra and I spent quite a bit of time studying the streets, waterways, bridges, and everything else that could be reproduced with an array and then refined by a handful of specialized workers.

"Even with our help, it took Valeron decades to build the infrastructures necessary to connect the isolated areas of the Kingdom and turn a bunch of small states into a well-oiled machine."

"Then how come you didn’t remember the city’s name?"

"I was just being grumpy." Ripha shrugged. "I’m not a museum person, and there’s nothing for me here. Valeron preserved all the artistic and natural beauty of Amrok, but he stripped it of all its military and magical power.

"You won’t find a single magical library here, a specialized smithy, or anything related to magic outside the local branches of the army or the Association. This place is nothing but a giant tourist trap."

"Why did Valeron do that?" Lith asked.

"Because Amrok was still a force to be reckoned with." Menadion replied. "The Trokan empire had yet to be fully assimilated into the Kingdom, and Valeron was afraid that without such precautions, Amrok would become fertile ground for rebellion.

"It’s one of the reasons the teaching of high-tier magic is only allowed in the six great academies, and there is none in this region. King Valeron put the centers of power in the hands of those he trusted and where he could keep an eye on them."

"What do you mean?" Solus asked.

"Why do you think there are two academies in the Distar region and two more in the former Deirus region?" Menadion said. "Those were the lands that Valeron assigned to Fyrwal and Tessa after establishing his Kingdom.
