Chapter 29: Post Distribution
Ash feels his altar city is becoming stronger and the wall of the city feels stronger than before and he gets a message from the altar of the city that the city feels stronger because the mana of the city is enforced mana into its structure this making city structure strong and fight against wear and tear of the city's structure is also increase .
Few minutes later,
He enters into the altar room and gives a leaf plate with food on it to Robin. And Robin thanks him for food and he nodded with a smile on his face. After he talks with Robin and some issues on the meeting in the garden.
Again, he left the altar room and he sees Robin bowed towards him for showing his respect to him. And he goes in the direction of Nexus City's Garden.
Few minutes later.
He arrives in the garden; he sees Ram and Evan are practicing with their weapons and their faces show deep concentration on practicing their weapons. So, he does not talk with them because he does not feel the need to talk to them yet, he just sits under the mana tree and started meditating in the tree.
Few hours later,
Ash opens his eyes from meditation and he sees Robin is coming into the garden from afar and Ram and Evan are also meditating under the mana tree but distant from each other and from him. Then he said with a loud and clear voice "let's start our meeting for the Nexus City."
He sees Robin is also near the garden and Ram and Evan are also coming near the place where Ash is sitting.
Two minutes later,
He sees all people sit comfortably and their eyes are showing curiosity and anticipation of this meeting's agenda and their upcoming future and their roles in the Nexus City.
After a few minutes of silence,
He thinks in his mind "I am very excited in this meeting and my upcoming role distribution to my subjects for the future of my city, I hope I don't regret my decision."
He takes a long breath in the air and his face is calm but in his mind, he is nervous but he does not show it on his face, so
"let's discuss our city's business and growth direction," Ash said with a calm face and voice.
"Okay my lord," Ram said, with a smile on his face and quiet voice.
And so, both Robin and Evan follow Ram's example and said "Okay my lord."
After a few seconds of silence,
"Do you all have any suggestions or opinions for the city?" Ash asked with a small smile on his face.
"We need more houses," Ram said with a normal face and voice.
"Okay does anyone have more suggestions or opinions for the city?" Ash asked with a smile on his face.
Few minutes later, Ash does not get any opinion or suggestion from Evan and Robin.
So, he decides to go to the main topic that he is thinking about for a long time.
"For making houses we don't have resources to make it yet so we will work on it after the meeting and I summon all of you here today for this meeting because I want to distinguish our new roles for better development of the city, and we can become familiar with our responsibility and make our decision with perfection and now this role is only empty title but in long development of the Nexus City, your roles give you power and responsibility for the city," Ash said with a smile on his face.
After he tries to see the reaction of the people here, and he finds Evan has a curious face, Ram's face showing a smile, and Robin seems like somewhat confused.
"I think for a long time after I decide Ram you will be our city's defense minister and you will be responsible for the city's defense against monsters and your work includes knight and soldier recruitment and traps maintenance and all necessary work for the city's defense against monsters," Ash said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you my lord for your generosity but where can I recruit people for military?" Ram said with a polite smile and polite voice on his face.
"People will be recruited from the Nexus City when we have good population, for now anybody comes into a city and becomes subject here will automatically recruit into a soldier for the city," Ash said with a normal face.
"Any more questions, Ram, you can ask me," Ash said with a smile on his face.
"No, my lord but I will ask question later if I find myself confused on this work," Ram said with a polite smile on his face.
"Okay," Ash said with a normal face.
He sees the genuine smile on Ram's face and he is also happy feeling his mind because he also wants to distribute these roles to his trustworthy people for developing his city quickly and making his city strong.
After, He said with a smile on his face "Robin, you will be manager of the Nexus City and you will see internal issues of the people here and city's building construction and city's structure construction and others people related issue that is in the city handled by you."
"Thank you my lord for your trust on me," Robin said with bowing his head in front of him.
Ash sees Robin's face has a smile on his face.
After, he said with a normal look on his face "Evan, you have all responsibility for taking care of the city's garden and protecting it and you also have to take care of planting issues in the city's garden when maybe we find some good plants to plant there."
"Thank you my lord for supporting me," Evan said with a smile on his face and clear voice.
And I will be solely responsible for other things in the city and your roles are not permanent, you all have to always prove yourself that you deserve this post in front of me, and I will not put my life and city's altar in danger so not expect me to show any favor to you in post qualification. And your roles will also change depending on city development and its circumstances.
He sees all three of them are thinking in their mind but He doesn't care about this, so he said this meeting is adjourned.
After Ash left the meeting, goes out from the garden and he goes in the direction of altar room for mana refining.
And few minutes later, Ash enters altar room and he starts to meditate in the altar room.
In one hour later, Ash tries to see his status window in front of his eyes.
A window pops up in front of Ash.

He thinks in his mind "As I thought, refining mana in a lower grade altar compared to your level is very ludicrous task and very time consuming, I see that's why Robin and Ram not use the altar for mana-refining normally. I will have to soon upgrade the altar city for my pursuit of strength. I have to see the requirement of altar upgrade."
After He tries to see the status of the Nexus City.
A window pops up in front of him.

Ash sees in the status window, city's defense power max and item required for city update is 1000 woods, 250 stone, 50 level 0 mana cores. And constructing a new house he needs 100 stone, 25 wood.
So, He decided first to update the altar city after he will work on constructing house,
Few minutes Ash starts going out from altar room and to find all members for upgrading the city.
So, Ash wanders in the city, 10 minutes later he finds all of them, he sees all of them are practicing with weapons except Robin, and Robin is running, Ash thinks in his mind "Maybe Robin is running for increasing his stamina" after that he talks with all of them.
5 minutes of discussion, Ash decides, he, Ram, Evan will go out of the city for gathering of resources for upgrading the city. And Robin will stay for looking after the city.
So,
10 minutes later, Ash, Evan, Ram with their weapons in hand tightly, they are going out of Nexus City. And Ash sees their eyes and faces show confidence in the city and themselves.
After few minutes of walking, they cross the plain near a city. And enter into a forest area, where Ash sees many big and lush trees and some unique plants but they don't have any practical value so Ash not care about them, and they go to area where many trees are suitable for cutting. After Ash decides to cut trees and take care of the wood resource first and Ash thinks in his mind "In a forest no beast comes to obstruct their path maybe because of Ram's level and for beast, Ram is technically a higher being that can kill them without much effort so they don't bother us. This is good news for me for exploring the forest and obtaining resources from this forest."
In two hours, Ash, Evan, Ram cut 200 woods, among 200 woods Ram cuts 120 woods, Ash cut 40 woods, Evan cut 40 woods. They decide to depart from 200 woods because increase more loads is not practical for travelling in a forest.
30 minutes later, they are near city's entry gate and all of them are sweating and Ash and Evan's hands are aching because of heavy loads but they still decide to carry goods and out them on their destination.
2 minutes later, they enter into a Nexus City's gate with a smile on their face. After they put the woods in the city's warehouse. he sees all of them are sweating and Evan almost sits in the soil quickly.
Ash decides to do more trips for collecting wood resources but he decides to rest for few minutes.
After 15 minutes,
Ash decides to stop his rest and work on collecting woods, so he sees in the direction of Ram that is sitting in corner of soil with some sweat on his head, he feels Ram is not affected by heavy lifting of woods and he sees in the direction of Evan that is resting in a corner of soil and after some talk with Evan and Ram.
They decide to depart from city for collecting wood resources from the forest.
15 minutes later,
They are in a forest where he sees dark and thick leaves trees and he feels shock and surprise after seeing.
