<h4>Chapter 147: Dry City Cultivation Tower 2</h4>


    "What about the arena? How much longer will it take to be ready?"


    "Ehh, it is also almost finished and should be ready in the next ten days." Dillian responded promptly.


    "This is good... We are going to inaugurate the cultivation tower in 2 days, so, in the meantime, we will let the poption know about it."


    "Hmm."


    Dillian nodded and then changed the subject. "Young master, I think it is almost time for us to make contact with the government of the City of Waters."


    This was a top priority on Dillian''s agenda. The poption of the Cry City was already working at its limit, and there was almost no room for improvement in the area of ??agriculture. Currently, there were practically no unemployed in this region.


    Only the young people under the age of 15 were ''unemployed.'' And even those people who wanted to join the ck in Army, they were working in agriculture too. After all, this was a form of guaranteed ie in the Dry City!


    Therefore, the city urgently needed to receive immigrants. And even though some families came from Stone Ind, that number was minimal.


    Elen could not risk spreading the propaganda of the ck in, and there were also not so many people willing to take risks in a new ce. For this reason, attracting people from Stone Ind was not effective in supplyingbor in the fields.


    Minos had asked Elen to do this propaganda, mainly to attract lesser-level array masters, cksmiths, and alchemists. He didn''t have the crazy thought that tens of thousands of people from that ce woulde here, just like that.


    Anyway, that was an issue that would asionally cause problems in this ce. They could not draw much attention, so it was quite problematic to keep the growth of this ce to the maximum.


    The fame of the ck in was not good in any part of the north of the Central Continent, so people would note here just like that. Allied to this, with a territory with a small poption, Minos would have to face problems rted to thebor offered for a long time.


    Finally, not being able to open the doors of the ck in to the world, showing what they had best, only made it difficult to solve this problem.


    "Hmm, I think we have to do this in the next few weeks..." Minos said as he rxed in his chair and blew out a breath. ''It looks like I have to go on a trip soon... ''


    ...


    After that, a day passed, and the news about the inauguration of the cultivation tower had already spread through the Dry City.


    Many already saw therge building that was being built in the central region of the city gradually taking shape, so they were very curious to know what it would be.


    At this moment, in front of the Public Library of the Dry City, a group was leaving that ce, talking animatedly.


    "Did you hear the rumor? That building is going to start operating tomorrow." A young man said, pointing in the direction of arge building that was shaped like a pyramid trunk.


    "Ehh? And do you know what it will be used for?"


    "Hmm, more or less. I heard that this building is for cultivating and training."


    "Huh? And what is the difference in doing this in our homes?" Other people asked in doubt. Most of the city''s inhabitants did not know the idea behind the cultivation towers.


    In fact, millions of people in the north of the Central Continent did not know about this. After all, few cities had buildings like this. And even in the towns that had, the majority of the poption could not afford to train in such ces!


    Thus, many did not understand the difference between cultivating in a special ce and doing it in their homes.


    And even though some learned about this type of thing in spiritual academies, not all of these ces taught such specific things. In ces like the capital of a kingdom, children would certainly know about it. But in a poor ce like the Dry City, there was no need to talk about such a thing, which many would not even see that in their lives...


    "Idiot, I heard from my grandfather that the cultivation towers are special constructions, which further increase the spiritual concentration of where we cultivate!"


    "What? Can such a thing be done? I thought that the most that could be done was to improve the spiritual concentration of the city..."


    "Hmm, I thought so too before, but after I found out a little bit more about the array masters profession, I understood that it is not that simple." A young man said proudly.


    He had started to learn about arrays from an old man that came from Stone Ind to the Dry City. So, he knew a little about this area...


    "A spiritual meeting array can act in arge area or do this in a small space. This is decided at the time that an array master is finalizing the framing of these items."


    "By doing this, the array loses much of its reach, but in return, it gains in efficiency! For this reason, a room with an array of grade-1, high-level, will have a spiritual concentration much more significant than in arge area, which is affected by an array of the same degree, however, focused onrge spaces."


    Spiritual meeting arrays work like an atom. The array was the nucleus that attracted free spiritual energy, electrons, to its surroundings. And the shorter the distance from its core, the more the force of attraction.


    Consequently, any array of this type would necessarily have greater effects in the vicinity of the array, while it would have lesser effects in more distant ces.


    However, when the array was focused on serving an ample space, it had to give up its efficiency in order to keep the difference between the spiritual energy concentration of the parties as little as possible.


    Of course, it was impossible to end all the difference in quality. Still, the array masters managed to reduce this to an eptable value at the cost of the array''s efficiency.


    However, when focusing on small spaces, these arrays did not need to sacrifice their efficiency, so it had great results in ces where it focused on increasing spiritual concentration for small areas, as in the case of these rooms present in cultivation towers.


    "Oh! So, this is how it works! Incredible!"


    "Hmm, it is quite interesting what the array masters can do..." He said with a satisfied smile. "But in these cultivation towers, you can also train your battle techniques at a high level."


    "I heard that too. It seems that people can train without fear of destroying the ce, and there is still a way to rent spiritual arrays that will help you in your training!" A young man said excitedly.


    Training alone was challenging. After all, some techniques required their users toplete some ''unique'' requirements.


    For example, the Minos support technique, Devouring Art, its user had to train it by absorbing the spiritual energy of living beings or spiritual arrays. It was unable to absorb free energy in nature or of spiritual nts.


    But unlike Minos, the ordinary poption could not have spiritual arrays for training. And it was not easy to work out specific techniques without the aid of these items.


    In this way, this cultivation tower could help many people who were training a technique with special requirements.


    Anyway, other conversations like these were taking ce throughout the Dry City, which would once again have a new service being made avable soon.


    "Hahaha, it seems that the decision toe here was not wrong!" A tall man said out loud, looking at a woman who was having her meal with him in one of the restaurants in town.


    These two had received Minos'' offer when he had passed through the city of Pornd. At the time, they had obviously refused. Still, after a friend of them left Stone Ind, they could not leave their curiosity and ended up in the Dry City.


    The two had no idea where this friend had gone, but after watching his family for a while, they finally arrived at this ce. And to their surprise, this was precisely where Minos had said he came from, at the time he had made thatmercial offer several months ago...


    "Hmm, this ce really has a lot of opportunities for cksmiths like us. But I wanted to see the face of those old Pornd cksmiths when they find out what they''re missing." The woman said with a satisfied expression.


    They had invited others to find out the whereabouts of their friend. After all, he could be in trouble since he had left without giving any warning.


    This was not normal, and as longtime friends, they had been worried!


    But who knew that their goodwill had led them to a real treasure...


    Not only did they find out that their friend was doing very well in this ce, but they were also now following the same path themselves. This was and of opportunities, and whoever arrived first could enjoy it for longer!


    The manughed and then said with an exciting look. "I want to see this cultivation tower... Not even the city of Pornd has one of these!"


    "Hmm, but I heard that it will be excellent, losing only in the capacity for those in big cities. I heard that it will only have four floors for now, not even having a thousand rooms..." The woman said in a low voice.


    "But that is understandable. After all, this ce is still very small..."
