Chapter 1395 1395. Special Buildings

Jack had thought about which city to put the Council of Charites' new base during his time in Greed's sanctum. Since Talia and the others had expressed concern about their comfort among the hustle and bustle of a city, he decided to build their base in a city with the fewest population. That would be Themonium, a city that had recently upgraded into a metropolis.

Jack opened Themonium's building list and scrolled down to the bottommost section. A new Wonder Building was available there, Joy Recreational Hub.

For people who said they were not used to the hubbub of a settlement, their base sure sounded like a place for many people to hang out.

"Hoo… You never cease to amaze me, expert," John remarked. "From its name, I dare to guess this wonder had something to do with the divine faction you visited. Jeanny also went to a divine faction but all she got was a companion and a bunch of mana cores."

"She did?" Jack had heard about the mana cores but the companion was news to him.

"Yeah. Care to tell me what happened in the Council of Charites? You were out of contact for more than a week."

"Well, you are not going to believe this. We…"

"On second thought, forget it. I'm not interested. Check out that new Wonder Building. I want to see its effect," John said, cutting Jack's words mercilessly.

"I almost forgot how charming you are," Jack said sarcastically. He then clicked on Joy's Recreational Hub.

"Sweet…," John remarked. "All of them are good effect. The morale, new special unit, and additional garrison to defend the city, but I am most happy about the happiness effect. Do you know that the happiness stat of a settlement is closely related to a settlement's population growth? The higher it is, the faster the city's population increased."

"How do you know?" Jack asked.

"Duh. Hope's knowledge, remember?" John mocked.

"Then why do you not already know this Wonder Building's effect from the start?"

"It's Hope's knowledge, not Peniel's knowledge. Hope knows nothing about the effect when other divine factions join a kingdom. Speaking of which, once you build this Wonder Building, I think there should be an additional effect."

"What's that?" Jack asked.

"Try to build one first," John said. He then said to Peniel, "I'm surprised you didn't tell him about it when he built the Sanctuary of Courage."

"Are you talking about the Brave Academy," Peniel asked.

"Uh-huh," John nodded.

"… I forgot," Peniel answered.

John was speechless hearing the fairy's reply.

"What Brave Academy?" Jack asked.

"Just build this one first!" John instructed.

Jack complied. There was coincidentally an empty building slot. John was still pondering what to build on this slot when Jack came in. Afterward, Jack used 5 ruling powers to complete the construction process.

He then sent a message to Stefan, who was traveling with Talia, to ask him to inform her about the city where her new base was located.

"How many ruling powers do you still have? I have a bunch of things I want to hasten," John said.

"Of course, you do," Jack said.

"First, check the building list. There should be a new special building that can be built," Peniel said. She then said to John, "I don't forget this time."

Jack scrolled up to the list of where the special buildings were located. "Which one?" Jack asked. There were a bunch of special buildings. Jack never paid attention to them. He let John work on them.

"That one!" Peniel pointed.

"World Game Stadium?" Jack read the description.

"It's not a Wonder Building, but it might as well be. It requires a specific condition before it can be built, which was the settlement has to have Joy's recreational Hub built and it can only be built beside this Wonder Building."

"The same thing as the Brave Academy," John said.

When Jack turned to him, John said, "I already start the construction of the Brave Academy when I happened to see it on the list, but it still requires around thirty days to complete. You can use your ruling powers to complete the construction."

"Let's complete this one first," Jack said and put the World Game Stadium into construction.

*

He then used 4 ruling powers to complete it at once.

"This stadium is heaven-sent. It should help lower the tension between us and Verremor by a bit," John said.

"This also helped us get better recruits the next time we draft," Jack said, then added, "Maybe I should have built this first before we did the Call to Arms and the military drafts."

"Maybe you should," John agreed. "Next time, leave the drafting for the last."

"That brave academy you mentioned. It should be in Therimdell, isn't it?" Jack asked.

"Yes," John confirmed.

Jack changed the screen to Therimdell and looked at the construction slots in progress. Brave Academy was in one of those slots.

This Brave Academy was similar to the War Academy, only better. It still had 29 days till its completion. Jack used 3 ruling powers to complete it.

He then called, "d.u.c.h.ess Isabelle. About our two mythical recruits and my friend, Kramer. Please make sure they have the training slots in this Brave Academy."

"I will let Armstrong know," Isabelle replied.
