CH599

The long night of cuts and blood had paid off, leaving Ben with even more clones than he’d hoped for, with Thera making him ten new ones that were just about equal to the four he’d gotten from the great life spirit, all ready to be used and making the matter of how he’d do so into nothing more than a question of space at that point.

If Ben fully reached out with his deep connection, he’d be situated in the center of a circle that he’d be able to reach out in roughly six meters in all directions, giving him a huge range that he could put towards training his crafting and other skills with all of those extra hands.

Which means I just need to go get myself the space for that.

It was the sort of thing he wanted to put to work sooner than later and he wanted the convenience that would come with it, so to bring his goal to fruition he passed through his mini-gate, happy to beg a couple of the greatest resources in his life for help.

“I was hoping to buy a place in Anailia,” He said as he invaded Pelenia and Abrus’s meal together, even if he got a bright reaction from Pelenia for the statement.

“Oh? Thinking of making a little family home for you and my daughter? It would almost certainly be nicer than Stonewall. Closer to a gate and more to do too. Not to mention safer with the rest of the family here too.”

“Er, no. I needed a bit more space for making my own workshop.”

“Finally leaving that old ape then? It’s about time. And you picked an excellent place to start your new life in, I approve.”

“Still no, I was just going to drop a mini-gate there to use the extra space so I don’t take up every inch of Falk’s place.”

“Boo but fine,” the queen said, clear in her disappointment as she waved a servant down. “Elentia, be a dear and help Ben find a place that fits his criteria, would you?”

“Yes, your majesty.”

“You’re the best, Pelenia.”

“Hmm, you can thank me by dragging my daughter and sister down for a few dinners sometime soon if you’re not going to bother just outright moving here.”

“Will do.”

After outlining what he was specifically looking for as far as space went, the servant Elentia moved with prompt efficiency, sending for different real estate brokers within the city to come to them and present available properties that might match his options and landing on a previously empty warehouse, something that would give him more than enough space to work as his skill would grow while he looked it over and took it all in, feeling plans form as he did.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Since connect stretches out in all directions I could easily get a few more clones squeezed in here by adding a few platforms for some to work on to make even more stuff, but that’s going to be a future project. For now, I’ve just gotta move a gate here along with having some supplies sent over as well on top of all of the tools I’m going to need. Definitely going to take a few long hours of setup but nothing else to do but get started, right?
