Chapter 892: Return

Sage entered the branch of the Merciful Mollusk situated within Golden Cricket Cove. The city was the former headquarters of the Chong Clan, but now it was a branch of the Lang Clan. Since he was here already he didnt head directly to Lionheart Town and instead traveled over to the Chong Clans former home. As the capital of the province, there was a reason for the Chong Clan to be headquartered here. There was a very valuable resource known as the Breeze Shell that was collected from the many coves around the city. It would be extremely foolish to give up control of the Breeze Shell, so the Lang Clan had to take over Golden Cricket Cove when the Chong Clan left for Lucky Star Province. They took along their many hundreds of years of supply and took all the ripe lands of the Fu Clan. As the new leader it was a good excuse to take over many of the entrenched powers while extorting the others for tribute.

The Chong Clan had to treat its long-time allies in 10,000 Wave Province kindly, but it was a different story in Lucky Star Province. The Lang Clan had also offered some concessions of resources, sending them their own form of tribute for a few centuries to tip the scales in their favor. The Chong Clan got an influx of resources, whole provinces for their factions to take over, and a new first rate power as an ally. It wasnt the perfect situation theyd imagined of controlling two provinces, but none of the other first rate powers in the Dou Kingdom would ever let that happen.

Under the Lang Clans rule, Golden Cricket Cove became the new way for them to show off their advancements to the world. If they made Golden Cricket Cove into a big juicy target, then those seeking to do them harm would strike at the cove rather than their true home in Lionheart Town. With this in mind, Golden Cricket Cove had undergone a huge change in the time since the Lang Clan had taken over. It was a backwards place in comparison to the Inner World, but when put up against the other cities in the Dou Kingdom it was quite impressive. The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

In fact it was so large and flashy that he was glad the Cult of the Woodlord was a whole kingdom away or theyd likely be sending an army their way to take their technique or at least clear cut the city to maintain their monopoly on plant construction. It was also something of a proving ground for the Lang Clan. It was a place for them to send all their younger members to get some experience. They could work with the city police forces to patrol and investigate crimes, join the more militaristic defense force and hunt down the local bandits, start their own businesses, work in the clans businesses, or even dip their toes in politics and manage parts of the city infrastructure. Lionheart Town was a fortress where they trained their youngsters and the elder generations focused upon cultivation. Golden Cricket Cove was where those youngsters went when they grew up and were ready to take on the world. Once they could stand out and make a name for themselves here, they could go anywhere they wanted.

Sage had only been privy to the planning stages of these developments. Hed seen to it that Lionheart Town was secure and approved of the plans for Golden Cricket Cove, but now that he was here in person seeing it completed, he felt quite fulfilled. The Clan had come so far from its near complete annihilation. He felt a bit uneasy at how dangerous it was for the clan members that lived here, especially since they were not nearly as many generations removed from him as those on the Inner World. Most of them were in the fifth to eighth generation from him, which was far closer than those a hundred generations away on the Inner World. They were close enough to still feel like family and not just people from the same country or organization.

After seeing how far the city had come, he decided not to make his presence known. There werent any pressing threats that he noticed and he didnt feel any need to attend a feast or other welcoming ceremony. Instead he just observed the changes and way things worked from afar. He stayed for a couple weeks to sightsee before returning to the Merciful Mollusk and taking the Transportation Array to Jade Spirit County.
