The Dungeon-linked space was bustling.
And it was so unusual that Luca had to keep on whipping his head as he kept hearing voices from everywhere.
Yes, everywhere.
Because there were exclamations of awe, surprise, and adoration everywhere they went for this Ollie-guided tour.
The Fruit trees and those ripe fruits garnered the first loud cries.
It was because those who were successful in the earlier skirmish could distinctly remember the taste of these glorious fruits and just learned that there were this many!
And that, for one, they grew in trees!
"You mean these just...appear?" someone whispered, awe-struck.
"Well, not quite. They grow on trees but usually grow fast thanks to the spiritual energy!" Corrected the short but knowledgeable tour guide.
A real surprise if you ask them, and one gardener was all red in the face as he marveled at the definition of life for him.
However, the surprise didn’t stop there. The empty farms that initially confused everyone suddenly looked so much better once the jubilant tour guide had Jax explain the sources of the potatoes, corn, and Brussels sprouts.
The crowd gasped.
Ollie and Jax looked very smug about this.
The blondie even pounded on his chest as he remembered how he was considered a pioneer after germinating a seed into a sapling when they were taught how to plant.
And the tour group listened with rapt attention as they began describing the possibilities and the multitude of crops they could try planting.
They had no idea just what all those other things were but could guarantee that they were likely great things!
Then they passed by the coop, where Ollie talked about how lucky they were that this was empty.
"..."
Clearly, someone was traumatized.
But then came the stream, which Ollie warned about.
Everyone must be mindful of conserving water, especially water from the space. And at no point should people litter a very important water source.
It was a stern warning and one that people would take a little too seriously.
Although, that wasn’t the only thing that these people would take seriously.
Luca finally learned what a well-oiled organization looked like. When Kyle, Butler Gary, and Steward Han called for registration, the people automatically divided into groups with their usual subheads.
Wow.
And when they called for the initial distribution of tasks, everyone just followed suit.
They decided on a rotation before screening the people for jobs that they could excel at, such as farming, animal husbandry, gathering, and, last but not least, corruption runs.
This clearly stumped the soldiers under the Duke’s command, but they knew better than to ask at this point.
And thankfully, they didn’t, for this was information that they wouldn’t be able to take while standing.
The Duke called for everyone to gather at the clearing.
And unlike before, this time, they were warned.
"Sit," the Duke commanded, his voice booming with authority.
"I do not wish to see anyone faint."
"..."
It was Luca’s turn.
For one it started because the confused heir was surprised to learn that his friends had automatically decided to divide the tasks between themselves.
Ollie was in charge of showing people around while noting the differences between Luca’s original space and this Dungeon-Linked one.
Jax obviously announced himself as the planting instructor who was adamant about including a required plant appreciation course.
Then there was Kyle who had to coordinate with Butler Gary and Steward Han for logistics. And this included how they were going to transfer a few chickens as well as several fishes to see if they could jumpstart that industry here.
And Luca was surprised to learn that Xavier had been coordinating with the Duke regarding the corruption runs.
Which was only possible after learning that the Dungeon-Linked Door would always end up in the Duchy.
Yes.
