Vampire's Slice Of Life - Chapter 863
Chapter 863 Intel Via Arrows
The work that the chubby kid had to do was help Lith in defeating the strong monarchs of other kingdoms in this world.
He didn’t directly say this as he knew that the kid was smart enough to know that he was being used. Hence, the message was indirect and Lith eventually embarked on a mission to defeat all the monarchs in this world.
Defeating the monarchs of this world took roughly six months. Travelling was a hassle here and magic didn’t work, so one had to do it on foot.
There was a lot of running that took place and Lith had to do it while having the chubby kid on his back. It was annoying, but this dude’s presence turned out to be fruitful as he did help defeat the stronger opponents.
Lith was strong to the point of winning against just about anybody in this world, but there were always exceptions and those were thankfully taken care of by the chubby kid unknowingly.
World domination had happened easily on this planet due to the fact that everyone’s strength was capped to a certain level and there was barely any magic.
Lith did arrive on some spots where magic was available for use and he strategically marked them and called people to build a few things there.
These places were termed as magic hotspots by Lith and the people began making use of these places.
Magic hotspots had a connection to elements in their place due to dimensional rifts in those areas. The rifts were small, but due to them, elemental energy seeped in brought magic with it.
Harnessing this was crucial and work was in progress to make use of it.
To find more such hotspots, teams of adventurers were being sent out along with messengers who could deliver news of hotspots as quickly as possible.
The unexplored areas of the world were being explored at a rapid pace and everything was starting to change in a step by step manner.
Intel was the key in winning a war and also an essential component for development.
News of the magic hotspots had to be delivered quickly so that respective construction teams could go there and do their work.
To get faster communication, what Lith did was connect each and every village in a web that would allow for a rapid transfer of messages.
Since this world barely had any technology and was really just living in a Stone Age sort of era, things had to be improvised for quicker adaptation.
Lith didn’t make anyone do anything fancy to have faster communication, all he did was teach everybody how to throw an arrow properly.
An arrow was tied with a box made of stone that contained letters within it. This arrow was then thrown with such extreme strengths that it would literally seem to disappear in the horizon.
The first arrow that Lith threw covered a distance of a whopping twelve hundred kilometres. It was proven by the people who stayed in the respective village that was at present at that distance.
The villagers of that place had come with the arrow Lith had thrown and given the necessary proof that everyone needed.
It took a few days, but with that being confirmed, Lith went on to the next stage of this process.
Information could be rapidly transferred via arrows but people were needed at proper intervals to find the arrows and send them forward once again.
The series of throwing arrows had to be continued until it reached the receiver.
The arrows also had to be thrown at proper angles and the wind speed, air drag, and everything else had to be taken into consideration as well while throwing the arrows.
Thus, for this simple yet complex system, trial and testing began. Lith got more busy than ever and had to juggle a lot of things in one go.
Pretty much everything that was being changed required his assistance as he was the only one with great intelligence and vision.
Lith was an otherworlder and only he could see how things were supposed to look and work. The people of this world had no idea in regards to things and there also weren’t some secretly technologically advanced race in this world.
Lith’s world had the super smart dwarves who were also godly blacksmiths. But they were a small population and had themselves hidden in the unexplored deserts of the Werewolf Continent.
Those guys kept to themselves and their existence was known only by a select few families of the world.
In any case, as this world didn’t have anyone even moderately intelligent, all the load was on Lith and he was really busy lately.
Time continued to pass and there were many sleepless nights along with a lot of labor being done by Lith.
It had been almost two years since his arrival in this world and by now, he was starting to feel fatigued due to overworking.
Things were surely coming along and construction was happening rapidly, but Lith was starting to question, just why was he working so much? What was his end goal? What did he want to achieve?
An existential crisis had drowned him lately, but having a strong mental fortitude, he didn’t break easily and kept going.
The arrow throwing system was working wonders and didn’t need a lot of time to be set up.
People were transferred to regular intervals and spread apart in proper distance to cover a certain range.
The arrows were also modified to have a certain type of lustre to it that would grab the attention of the ones on the ground. It was also equipped with a stone that would explode and create a loud noise upon hitting the ground.
Such modifications and many weeks of trial and testing had come to fruition with the hotspots getting discovered quickly.
The web network had been properly established and after a certain amount, Lith called the adventurers back and tasked them with other things.
This world lacked population too as fertility rates were really low. Men just couldn’t get their sticks up and the quality of sperm was really bad.
Things were being fixed one at a time. The most major and important change Lith brought in this world to fix them was to have them wear proper clothes.
Covering their bodies was essential and having conquered the whole world, he could make anyone do anything he liked.
Thus, clothes were starting to become a major thing and sex as barter was slowly being scrapped out too.
Many didn’t understand why such a thing was happening while some had the opinion that…
“STOP THIS ATROCITY!”
“STOP CAGING US!”
