The new arrivals all sighed. "We were afraid of that. So many worlds get made and never properly stocked with advanced craftsmen because the Legends and Demigods who made them were combat focused.
I suppose that means there is going to be a major upheaval in the region once it starts to adjust. But there are some other concerns that we have. Like that null zone in the ocean, and the fact that there are so few Legends on this world.
Seriously, there has to be someone watching over the place."
Nerissa shrugged. "The Legends do it as a council. There might be a Demigod or two on the planet, but none of them are active."
Skadi raised her hand to get everyone’s attention. "The Blue Elves have a Demigod turtle, but it’s sleeping."
That seemed to startle everyone but Karl and Rue, who already knew.
"The Blue Elves? Do you mean the Waveriders?" Louie asked.
"Waverider is a class they get, to control their ships," Karl replied, unsure if that was what they meant.
"And you’re allied with them? That’s a relief. They’ve often been friends of the Guild."
Skadi laughed. "They even brought children for Karl to train. Life experience to prepare them to become captains, their big boss lady said. The Elves are nice. They are water people, not forest people, but they’re good at teaching me how to swim."
The dragons chuckled at her excitement. She was a Forest Lord. If she was in trouble, even the fish in the lake would help her and push her onto shore.
"It seems that your isolated branch really does live up to the ideals of the Darklight Host. You didn’t even know about our wider scale alliances, and you still managed to cultivate the same group of allies." Louie congratulated them.
Karl laughed. "The Elves actually came to us for the training alliance because they had heard on other worlds that the Host was reliable. But we were already trading partners, since we have a deep water port here.
It’s fairly well sheltered, and we operate as a free port."
"Ah, that makes sense. Not all the branches are anywhere near the ocean, and I didn’t realize that this was a major sea trade route." Louie replied.
Nerissa shook her head. "It wasn’t until Karl moved his people in. The Clan that was here before got so little boat traffic that their docks hadn’t seen anything but a fishing boat in years.
Now, they’re getting trade caravans weekly, bringing magical resources to trade for crafted items.
I don’t know how it was on your home world, but this branch has become so wealthy that my own members come here to get gear instead of coming to our own Clan Warehouse. It’s so bad that we opened a Clan Warehouse branch here just to make sure that the members were still turning in resources to us."
Karl laughed. Min had been incredibly busy at the warehouse lately, and she hadn’t even gotten a chance to meet Skadi yet.
She would soon, as it would be her day off. But with the increase in resources thanks to the mana gathering array Karl placed on the region, there was quite a steady stream of goods going to the New Home warehouse, which purchased gear from the Darklight Host to maintain stock in their warehouse.
