Chapter 760: Bringing a Crew
Sam's construction was going extremely well. He and his friends started working with the help of the rest of the beasts.
They worked together and their speed is not less than a well-rounded construction team full of artisans.
As he was busy with that, there are some interruptions and disturbances from people. One of them is the surprise attack made by the transcendent stage cultivator sent by Braman.
But that transcendent stage cultivator didn't go back, he even came when Sam is staying in the new camp which is actually the thunder prison in disguise.
He was easily handled and when Sam learned that it was the plan of Braman and it is only to teach him a lesson, he also planned to teach a certain lesson to this guy. But not for now.
He scheduled it to the time he would visit Planet 1.
For now, his sole focus is on the building and soon time passed.
It has been finally six months since he came to this place and most of the base's framework is complete. This is also a year since the last palace of inheritance is over and there are still two years for the next palace of inheritance.
There is still a lot of time for Raunak's target completion.
Even though Sam wanted to end it by the end of this month, he changed his mind after coming into contact with this professor's men.
At first, he wanted to sell many things he already has to these men and finish the target easily, but the more he interacted with them, the more he understood that there is a lot more to them than that meets the eyes.
They are not just that extra faction that is formed due to their views and perspectives not matching with the first two factions, this third faction is actually quite ambitious with people spanning from military, politics, business, and even education, they are maintaining their own world within this larger world.
This is more trouble than he thought but that is also the safest out of the two factions, unlike the first two factions who have deep-rooted enmity for each other, the third faction is just ambitious. They just want to have more and will focus on obtaining whatever they want than trying to stop others from getting it.
But before he delved any deeper, he has to establish his own groundwork and this base is both symbolic and literal form of that.
After another two weeks, he finally finished with the construction. While he is doing that, Raunak started doing another task Sam gave him, to recruit people.
Raunak really did have connections with the orphans in this capital, even though his relationship with them is not exactly friendly, it is not exactly hostile either.
While hiring them as orphans who have no civilian identities in this place, Sam slipped in a few more application forms in and he secretly left the Charbhum realm.
He earned more than enough spirit stones to make some round trips, so he decided to use that vast amount of money to go back to the desolate realm of his city and bring back some people.
This is not exactly economical in the long run, but for now, it is okay. Anyway, he already gave the blueprints for the inter-dimensional space gates to the Space gate association which is an important partner or even part of Sam's organization to research.
Once they are familiar with that and have enough practice to become proficient enough to make them, he would be able to move people from his organization anywhere to anywhere as long as he placed the formation.
He moved a bunch of people from the weapon factory to Planet 2 so that he could use them as the workers in the factory.
They are proficient in making grenades, the bee puppets, and some of them even made the air-powered harpoon guns that he sold to the Merman and the flat-fish puppets, and some of them are involved with the steam engine assemblies.
All of them are proficient in operating manufacturing machines.
When the group arrived at the realm, they are extremely surprised and couldn't adjust for a few days. Particularly when they saw the elves and centaurs, they couldn't even comfortable in their own skin.
Sam let Philip handle them as he is most capable of managing people.
Philip endured the torturing process of calming them down.
This is the second time Sam took the people from the organization to a different realm. He did so in the Banished realm as a form of an exchange program which is mutually agreed upon. But now it is no longer an exchange program, it is more like Sam smuggling them in.
Raunak who is a special officer is personally involved in forging their identities which is actually pretty risky, considering the fact that it would put all their work and their lives in jeopardy if the truth was out.
But Sam did that only because they took the Pill of Servitude.
They are amongst the first batch of workers that joined Sam and some of them are from the Dragon Hawk tribe who are currently one of the most prosperous communities in the Western Continent.
There is no reason for him to worry about getting betrayed, but there is one thing that is bugging Sam a bit.
That is about the soul searching for the memories. He has been doing this for quite some time and he is not narcissist enough to think that he is the only one who is capable of thought of it that way. He is pretty sure that someone within the Charbhum realm is capable of that.
In fact, someone in the Naga Loka would have also been capable of that, but Sam didn't really think much of developing there so he didn't bother. But now he has to find a considerable way to really defend against this.
But to get something that can hide something from a soul search, that would be extremely high level and there are no recipes for pills or potions in the divine dimension.
As he grew in power the things in the divine dimension are coming less and less handy. So, there is only one place to try his luck and that is the divine dimension.
That is the only place that can give him access to something that is unattainable in normal cases.
But he shouldn't be sure about getting what he wanted in the very next Palace of inheritance, this might get delayed and he has to take care that nothing goes wrong.
Now, these people are responsible for not only training the new recruits Raunak brought in. They are also going to be fed with the Pill of servitude and trained in the first assembly process mostly.
After some time, he would make them work in manufacturing too. But not for now.
Sam is currently in the process of getting the first batch of products out of this place and they are the good old grenades. They are the ones that are easy to sell and easy to make, so there is no need for him to worry about making money.
Meanwhile, something else is happening in Planet 1 and it is an indirect result of Sam's activity in this realm.
Rajan is currently in a meeting room with a bunch of other elves who are of the same level and the same age as him.
"Two units of cloaked forces? Really Rajan, do you really think we can afford that much damage right now? Faction 2 is most aggressive in this time's election campaign and now we need all the strength we can get.
The assassinations of some of our key workers are barely stopped. They are taking full-on active and dominant approach. On top of that, their forces are already trying to sway the opinion with their merits in the city guards and the military exploits.
The loss of Planet 2 is fuelling them even more. They are always dominant in that place, but we managed to snag it because of that one fellow who you are trying to kill so desperately.
The Elders also took notice of it and gave out an order that no other force should send anyone to attack Sam and if they found any evidence, they would take action themselves.
You put us in such a hot spot just because of your petty revenge and what did we get in return? Nothing. And if this is not enough you are even trying to get that one recommendation to that position to your daughter.
You must be out of your mind."
Rajan just looked as his colleague ranted on and on and after the rant was stopped, he finally opened his mouth.
"Just tell me what you want. What the hell is up with this roundabout way of doing things, be straightforward."
"That fellow you are trying to kill seems to have a lot up his sleeve, for some reason the elders are against attacking him, so try and get something out of him. I heard that a bureaucrat who is in love with your daughter is with him for now.
So try and make him get something out of him, a recipe, a blueprint anything will do."
"And this is going to be the compensation for the two units of cloaked forces?"
"Yes."
"I will try, but I am not giving any guarantee that it will succeed. That guy hates my guts."
