Eiro dropped off thest one of the people that had been captured and held on the flying ind, and then turned over toward Solomon, "So you''ll take care of them for now?" He asked, and Solomon immediately nodded his head.


    "Yeah, don''t worry. You just find a ce where you can ''Hide'' the ind, and make sure to bring all the monsters to that vige... but please, I beg of you, make sure that they won''t somehow randomly attack people, alright? These guys are a lot different to the monsters already in the vige, right?"


    "That''s true... but don''t worry, everything is going to be fine. The monster leaders are mostly under my control, so the others will fall into ce pretty easily as well."


    "...If you say so, I will trust your word. But please keep me up to date, alright? I really don''t want these personal projects of yours topletely get out of control without me knowing about anything that''s going on there." The King exined, while Eiro slowly scratched the back of his head, "Again, everything is going to be fine. I''ll make sure to deal with it, and then give you as much information about that vige as absolutely possible."


    "Perfect. Thank you." Solomon said with a relieved sigh, before slowly turning around, "Also, make sure not to stay away too long, your children are already missing you. Whenever I saw them, they would just talk about all the things they wanted to tell you about once you came back."


    "Oh? Really?" Eiro asked with his brows raised, "I can''t wait to hear about it."


    And with a smile on his face, Eiro pped his wings and shot right back into the sky, soon standing at the edge of the ind again, where the others were still waiting for him, "Are you sure you want toe with me for this as well? You can just go take a rest if you want." Eiro pointed out, but James was the first to reply, "Hah, right. Nah, we''ll properly help out, don''t worry. And it''s not like this trip is going to be all too long anymore. We expected to onlye back in another week or so anyway. This ind is so much faster than some carriages." The light elf pointed out, while Eiro lightly chuckled.


    "Got it. Thanks for the help. Then I''ll head back to the crystal cave, and we''ll head off. Make sure to stay inside though, it really is incredibly windy, and it''s going to be hard to steer out of the way of any storm clouds we maye across. The weather in the area of the mountains is never the best, if you remember."


    "Right, right, don''t worry, we''re not idiots." Krog added, and Eiro shrugged as he moved past them to head back to the center of the ind, "Eh, debatable."


    "What''d you just say..?" Krog asked with a wry smile, and Eiro couldn''t help himself but smile a bit, "Just joking around."


    ---


    Eiro slowed the ind''s movement downpletely in a very specific spot in the mountain-range. It was a ce pretty close to the monster vige, so it would be easy to get all the monsters from here to there, and it was a rtively t terrain protected by the mountains that surrounded it. And the best thing was that the whole area was mostlyrge enough to fit the floating ind into if he just tried. He just had to dig out part of the ground and then try to fit the ind in there, letting it hover in ce there. It should be decently safe from any possible curious eyes.


    The vast majority of people didn''t approach this kind of area simply because it was too dangerous. It would be too exhausting to climb the steep cliffs. The only reason why there were official, detailed maps of this area was because Skyhart had hired arge hunting party to apany a group of cartographers to this ce, and that was a few decades ago. Since then, Eiro doubted that anyone was even thinking ofing here anytime soon.


    That being the case, Eiro flew down from the ind and quickly started his work excavating part of the terrain underneath where he wanted to keep the ind for now. If he needed some other form of protection for this ce afterward, he would just nt some trees around here that he knew would help keep people out of this ce. It took a few hours to just dig out everything alone, even with Eiro''s level of magic and Gondos helping him out.


    The issue was that Eiro wanted to make the hole a bitrger than what it actually needed, since he wasn''t one hundred percent sure how exactly the crystal cave determined what parts of the ind it took with it. He didn''t want to identally rip out part of the mountain and cause some kind of huge cave-in or something like that.


    But once he was done, Eiro could slowly but surely control the ind to move downward ever so slowly. Luckily, he did the calctions of what he had to do for this in advance, or else the ind would have just crashed down into the ground, something that Eiro really wanted to avoid.


    Then, Eiro made sure that the ind would keep a level position, as if it was going to lock itself into the space that it was currently upying. And then, he rounded up all the monsters that were left in the city, and brought them to the edge of town, where he then started creating a pathway for all of them to take toward the vige.


    Of course, Rashi and some of the other monster leaders were sticking very close to Eiro. Some of which were forced to, actually. Since the fish-type monsters of course wouldn''t be able to move through this mountain range on their own, Eiro was moving the water that they were swimming in instead, to bring them along with him.


    A few more hourster, therge group of monsters, plus three people, finally made their way to the monster vige through an entrance that hadn''t existed before Eiro forcefully created it. Of course, the Orcs, Kobolds and Goblins that were standing guard around that area were startled at what happened, but it didn''t take long until they recognized the true lord of their vige.


    "We wee you, Master Eiro!" They eximed, nearly in unison. This seemed to be one of the few phrases that they were able to say. Gobo, Kitsue, and Boju seemed to have raised them pretty well. As far as Eiro could tell, the ''slums'' of the vige had nearlypletely been cleared out, with just a few exceptions that still had to get used to not having their monstrosity control their lives.


    "Bring me to Gobo." The Demon said, and the guards quickly realized what Eiro was asking of them, and brought him over to the other side of the vige. Of course, Eiro made sure that they were taking a path where the monsters following him didn''t end up bothering the monsters that already lived here too much.


    Soon, they reached therge, carved-out space that acted as the city hall of this ce, and Eiro stepped in there alongside Jess, James and Krog, while he made sure the other monsters were peacefully waiting outside.


    Eiro quickly approached the room that Gobo was in, since he was the closest, and pushed open the door. In there was the Hobgoblin, training to be stronger. He immediately turned around with a re, angry that he was suddenly interrupted, before he saw who actually came here.


    "Master!" He eximed, and immediately abandoned his training to rush over to him with a broad smile on his face, "What are you doing here?!" Gobo asked, clearly excited.


    The Demon crossed his arms with a smile on his face as well, "We have some new monsters that are going to live alongside you all here." He exined, and the moment he did, Gobo''s smile disappeared.


    "Ah... Erm... Master... we kind of already have trouble finding space for all the monsters already here in the vige..."


    "Don''t worry, I''ve thought about everything. There are a few different races there. Some of them will go to live in the nearbyke, others are avian and will live ''above'' you, basically, constructing their nests where you guys couldn''t reach yet. And there are also some monsters that will help you expand deeper into the rock-walls, since they''re innate cave-builders. Don''t worry, I wouldn''t just throw this sort of thing onto you without thinking about everything that might happen." Eiro exined to him, and Gobo slightly sighed as he thought, moving his hand once to use his own magic to get rid of the sweat covering him, just like Eiro would always do when he was this sweaty.


    "Alright, then that''s something else. But we''re probably going to need your help nning everything out... And are there any monsters that can act as representatives?"


    "Yes, I actually only brought groups of monsters that had a sort of leader. Again, I''ve already thought about everything." The Demon exined, and Gobo simply smiled at him, "I know, I was still just worried. Well, I guess we should try to meet the others then... Oh, and..."


    "Yep, don''t worry, you''ll still be the head of the whole vige, Gobo, don''t worry.. Your position will always be a step above the others."
