《The Devil's Parcel》Chapter 9: City
Advertisement
After her encounter with Abel, Lilith invited Amaya, Gord, and Samael to come to Sol to talk about where their nations stand regarding imports and exports and speak about Erin's situation. It would take three days for them to arrive, so Lilith kept busy checking on all the villages and towns. Secretly though, Lilith wanted to pry some information about the past from the three, but she knew that was the least of her concerns.
While Lilith was checking on the villages, she talked with the elders of the villages. She gathered their opinion on the thought of coming together and forming towns to which they liked the idea. Hearing they liked the idea, she gathered the Elders to the capital and began negotiating. "Okay, elders, this is what I propose we build a city. We use the existing villages as guides" Lilith points to the map on the table. "All the villages form a diamond if we were to line them up. If we split it equally, we can turn them into districts that tailor explicitly to the village's primary source of income. Since the city will be located near the east border, we can get refugees from the neighboring country of Zen, which is currently going through their civil war."
One of the Elders named kai asked a valid question "What are we going to do about differing religions?"
Lilith thought it over before saying, "Religion doesn't matter if it doesn't get in the way of work or cause any harm. But if there is a conflict where the refugees were to change how the district operates, they would be exiled. You see, my Elders, the city itself is neutral when it comes to Religion, but churches will be built for your specific Religion if you choose to build one, so there is no need to worry. When it comes to your practice, you will carry it out the same way you always have."

The other Elders also discussed their concerns regarding their natural resources or sustainability. They all agreed with what they settled on at the end of the negotiation. A decree was released, legally recognizing the villages as united and open for outsiders to be allowed to settle down in the city and work.
The next day with the help of creation-type magicians, houses were built for the influx of refugees from Zen.
"Wow, Lilith, I didn't think the Elders would agree to form a city." Lillia was eating her lunch while talking
"Why wouldn't they? They can make a lot more money now that they have more Labor, and our Nation can turn into a free country where peace can be seen no matter where you look."
Benjamin took Lillias's sandwich and took a bite before saying, "What are you going to do if Zen wants its people back after they finish their revolution, or what if they want to go back to their home after the war is finished."
"I will negotiate with Angel's province tomorrow and start an import and export deal creating a solid bond. People should come from other countries to buy and sell goods they cannot get anywhere else. Sol itself is closer to the sun than any other country in the world and due to that fact we get hot summers and some delicious fruits which end up in the animals we eat. And with hot summers and tasty food, people will want to relax at our lakes and enjoy good fruit."
"That is impressive, Lilith" Lillia and Benjamin drew their weapons and turned around to see who was speaking, but they put them away when they saw who it was
Benjamin greeted Gord with a full body search for anything dangerous, and when he found nothing, he let him get close to Lilith. In his raspy voice, Gord said, "Wow, you have some tight security Lilith; they won't even let a father see his daughter."

"They are doing their job" Lilith stares at Gord for a bit before going for a hug.
"It's good to see you, father" Lilith turns to Lillia and Benjamin and orders them out of the room, to which they comply.
"So Lilith, how is being a queen treating you?"
"It's going well; as you heard, my country is starting to build a city." Lilith thinks for a second and says, "Except there have been a lot of attacks nearby the city."
Gord strokes his beard before saying, "Do you know who is planning their attacks?"
"From the intel we gathered from a prisoner, it's linked to Erin."
"How so?"
"It's linked to the black magic witches led by her."
"How do you know she leads them?"
"Our torturer extracted that info. But from what we heard from her, she infiltrated the school to get closer to me. For what reason is still unknown
"I'll talk to this prisoner myself later to see if I can get more information out of him."
"Well, father onto other matters."
"Of which type."
"Abel"
Gords face turned to a pained expression before saying, "What about Abel?"
"Who is he"
"Why do you want to know about Abel."
Lilith says, "Father, please tell me, " With a serious look."
"As far as I know, is Alastor's right-hand man. HIs only equal."
"Another question. How old is Abel? From what I heard, he is Alastors childhood friend."
"That I couldn't tell you."
Lilith asks another question, "Where is Abel."
Gord lets out a sigh and says, "He died in the fight against Alastor. Why?"
Lilith looked confused but continued with the questioning, "Where is Abel from?"
"I can't tell you that either"
Lilith sighed and asked the question she wanted to ask the most, "Did Alastor really kill my people."
Gord was taken back by this question, but after finding the right words, he answered her question, "He did it for your sake."
Lilith wipes a tear before asking the final question, "Did Alastor almost kill me?"
"Yes"
Lilith is confused about how to feel because Alastor killed her people, but she was also in love with him back then as well. Lilith also realized that Abel is still alive, and finding him can reveal more answers about her past.
Amaya and Samael walk into the room and sit down. After a long negotiation of importing and exporting and other matters, they finally agreed, and trade routes would be built so everything would be more accessible for people. With an official agreement in place, Sol would become a hotspot for trading.

The Only Real Cultivator
Vincent was relaxing in physics class when he and his entire class were teleported into a vast other world, where everybody called themselves cultivators and fought with magical martial arts. Vincent gained power over plants, allowing him to turn seeds into all sorts of vegetation. He ventures out into this new world filled with phony cultivators to set the record straight. He can make one declaration with absolute certainty, “I am the only real cultivator!” - You will see an overpowered main character with a cheat ability. You will see "comedy". You will see a normal guy who gets teleported to another world. You will see classic wuxia elements like Qi cultivation and alchemy. You will see grammar from a native speaker. You won't see a ruthless MC who kills everybody that offends him. You won't see harem. It's essentially everything I like about light novels, web novels, and wuxia all shoved into one story. If you’d like an unholy mix of overpowered main character, wuxia, fantasy, and LitRPG - give The Only Real Cultivator a try. 6/1/2020 edit: Some bloke plagerized this book and put it on amazon, titling it "Ancient Cultivator." tbh I'm kinda flattered that I'm worth plagerizing. Still, don't buy the book. The whole thing's available here for free.
