Her words were rushing after each other out of her excitement. Arthur didn't know if she was speaking with logic or with heart at the moment, but he could get it was a precious ore.
And it was something recognizable for other worlds as well.
"Where did you see it?" Sara asked the most important question right now in her mind.
"I found it not far from here," he said before turning around. He seemed to try to know where exactly they were at the moment. "Well, if I'm not mistaken then we are a day or two march away from it."
He pointed towards one direction before adding, "there is a bright silver mountain with red lines. I recall seeing the veins just passing underneath its peak."
"Peak? Do you mean… wait a minute! Does this mean…" Sara seemed to be about to go crazy when she heard that.
"I think the mountain is made of it," Fox nodded, "but I didn't dig there to make sure of this."
"We need to go now!" Sara turned in a sharp move towards Arthur before adding in excitement, "we need to bring the army! That mountain… if it contains the Gruben ore then a big war will erupt on it."
Arthur didn't see why she asked for the army. After all she knew the current task of the armies. "I don't see calling any army needed," he simply refused her request.
But that didn't stop her.
"Just believe me," she persisted, "once news spread, not only people from realms close to here but also those freaks from the higher realms would also come."
At this moment Arthur realized something. Sara, Tina, and the scorpion queen weren't there with him when he fought those high realmers.
So it was natural for her to be this afraid and wary of them. She still reminded him of himself before venturing on the journey to the sect.
"Don't mind them," Arthur firmly said, "if anyone dared to step here, I'll make him regret it."
Sara gave him a look full of suspicion. However Arthur didn't mind her looks or cared about explaining. He knew she would get to follow the latest events from someone else later on.
"Go inside for now," as the two weren't needed, he let them return to the garden world. He didn't forget to give them a warning. "Work faster as I'll send more people soon."
The two didn't show any sign of discomfort, in exchange they smiled in excitement. Especially Lara who loved fighting to the max.
She seemed to enjoy teaching new mages and forming a grand army. As Sara heard his words she realized that Arthur didn't send all of his armies out there.
He still kept some in his pocket. She mistook that for the reason of his confidence. And Arthur didn't notice what she was thinking about.
"Let's go."
The two started to fly towards the direction Fox pointed at. The journey took slightly shorter than what Fox mentioned.
After all he said it was a day or two walk. But considering the speed of the two, Arthur and Sara managed to spot the top of the mountain from far in less than ten hours.
"I think it is that mountain," Sara said while the sun was already gone. But even so, the light of the moon shone over the entire world and got reflected on that peak.
It looked like a peak made out of sparkling crystals from far away. The light of the moon added to the beauty of the mountain peak. "I like that place," Arthur also admired this, "we might need to build a city here for sightseeing."
"It will be a fortress," Sara was still fixated on the past, "to protect this mountain."
"My cities are mightier than any fortress," Arthur said with a chuckle before adding, "plus I told you already, don't worry about anyone. Got it?"
Despite his words and confident tone, she still remained full of doubts.
However Arthur didn't say anymore. He decided to tell Deem and Gor to come here and build a city. "I'd call it the mountain city," he decided while standing just tens of meters away from the shining peak.
The sight from this spot was very mesmerizing to the eye. Arthur instantly recalled his gem city, the city of the lake. He felt the same tranquility as well so he decided to build a city here.
As the two got this close they could see that not only the peak was shining under the moonlight, but many parts of the mountain's immense body as well.
As Arthur imagined his city at the bottom, he found seeing such a sparkling mountain amusing to the eye.
"I'm sure the entire mountain is made of the Gruben ore," Sara said after long minutes of silence. Unlike Arthur who was appreciating the beauty of the scene, she was appreciating the worth of this mountain.
In her eyes it held much more importance than anything else in the world.
So she turned to Arthur and hesitated. She wanted to ask for the army to protect her but Arthur's constant response blocked her from saying so.
"Why not start building a city here at once?" She decided to follow his decision but changed a little thing in it.
After all she knew the cities of Arthur were all strong and could sustain any assault. Even if higher realmers came here, she was sure the city would block the invasion until Arthur and his forces came.
She knew Arthur had his own ways to teleport across large distances, his portals. So instead of asking for the impossible, she decided to play along and follow Arthur's instructions.
"Right now?" Arthur gave it a little thought, "why not? I'll tell these two and let them send more people here."
At once Gege informed Deem and Gor about Arthur's decision. The two seemed to feel some strangeness in Arthur's sudden demand. After all, this spot seemed to be out of the blue and unrelated to their grand planning.
'They are asking to come here and examine the place first,' Gege relayed their message and Arthur could only nod.
"Bring them here," he said and instantly a portal opened before the two came out of it.
The portal opened at the bottom of the mountain. So Arthur took his time to reach them from high above. When he reached them, all he could see were signs of surprise and shock.
"This place… It's very beautiful!" Deem couldn't help but say in astonishment and appreciation.
"Yes, we need to build a city here. This place is too good to be wasted," Gor nodded in agreement before Sara intervened.
"These mountains hold great importance to our empire," she said before stealing a gaze at Arthur. The latter realized what she wanted to say, and yet he didn't interfere to stop her. So she continued.
"So it's better to add a fortress beside the city, a strong one. One that can withstand any high realmer invasion at any time."
"Are they coming now?" Deem and Gor turned around as if they were about to witness a great war.
"Not now," Arthur stepped in to reassure the two. He gave Sara a look to silence her before adding, "we are just making our preparations for the future."
"Sure," after a long minute of discussion, Deem announced their decision, "we can build a fortress here but not too close… This scene… This mountain… we don't want to spoil it with that ugly fortress!"
Sara sighed in relief while Arthur gave another condition, "I want the city to be the most beautiful and secure city in my entire empire."
The two got his point and nodded in compliance. "We promise to do our best. You won't get disappointed," Gor gave this strong promise before Sara said:
"Then start from now. We need the city and fortress to be built as soon as possible."
"We don't lack anything," Deem said.
"Except labor," Gor added.
"Don't worry about that," Arthur could say this in confidence. After all, his armies were now going on a spree to gain more population for him.
He didn't lack any numbers needed to build this city or the fort.
