The only thing that I can’t see from here is how much capacity is left available. This isn’t going to be like my normal enchanting, I am going to have to make a real plan. I need to map out all the enchantments that I want to add and where to place them.

  I am probably also going to have to add materials to increase the capacity to where I need it. This time I won’t be able to just add things randomly, that will also need to be planned out. I should also talk to the elves before I go changing all sorts of things about the city.

  Well, Stillwater probably won’t care since he and his people are new to the city, but I should at least check with Core. I don’t think she is going to have a problem with it, but it is still polite to ask first. I will wait and ask her once I have everything planned out so that she can see what she is agreeing to.

  For now, I work on the plan until Bella shows up with four elves following her. All of them have packs on their backs and are carrying bags as well, which I take from them. Once everything is stored in my pouch I open a gate to the palace in the trade city.

  Once Bella and the elves have gone through, I follow them and let the gate close. I arrange for the elves to stay in guest suites in the palace and return their luggage to them. While they are settling in I take Bella over to the castle and let her get settled as well.

  It won’t take Bella long to get settled, so I go check on the kids to see what they are up to. Surprisingly, Asuna and Mulan are both still practicing tattooing with the beast hides. I thought for sure they would have taken a break by now, but they look like they are having fun. When I ask, they happily show me the pieces that they are the most proud of.

  They have both made a massive amount of progress just by practicing on their own. It isn’t to the level of a tattoo artist, but with Bella’s help it shouldn’t take them long to get there. As they are showing me all of their work, Bella comes in and joins us at the table.

  She also takes a look through their attempts and she seems decently impressed by them. She does point out what mistakes they made, but she isn’t mean about it and tells them how to correct them. I’ve never actually seen her teach and I am fairly impressed by how she encourages them.

  Well, I did see her teaching Lin a little, but that was more flirty than anything. Luckily, she is much more serious when she is dealing with the kids than she was with Lin. Not that I would mind if some of my kids swung that way, but it is probably a bit early for them to know.

  I haven’t tried to hide the situation between me, Lin, and Bella so they are aware of things. If they ask questions, they will get honest answers, but I kind of doubt that they will. After all, they aren’t human, so they probably have a completely different view of things like that.

  I’ve never asked any of them what they even think, if they think about it at all. I have just assumed that it wouldn’t be an issue until we found someone of the same species as one of them. Although, that is actually impossible in Kechara’s case, unless I figure out how to make one.

  Then again, if the dragon is willing to give me some information, that might be possible. I will try to remember to talk to him about it, he might not want more of her race created. After all, Kechara was created by his experiment and he hasn’t seen the end result of it yet.

  The experiment was meant to see if it could artificially create a new dragon and Kechara is close. Thanks to being the guardian, Kechara actually doesn’t need a mate in order to have a kid. The problem is that I want to free her from her connection to the barrier meaning she wouldn’t be the guardian anymore.

  That means that she would need a mate to have kids and it would also probably end her evolution. I would like to be able to give her an evolutionary path like mine, but I don’t know how. I’m not even sure how I got the ability, let alone how to help someone else do it.

  Maybe I will be able to figure that out once I learn draconic magic, but I need to evolve first. To do that, I need to get all these projects taken care of so that I can go hunt dragonblood beasts. Which means that I need to stop wasting time thinking about things and get to doing things.

  So, I hand the new tattoo guns over to Bella and leave her to work with Asuna and Mulan. Then I modify the castle to create a new room and set up all the art supplies in it. Thanks to Lin’s suggestion, I got books to teach the basics for each type of art.

  This way, the kids can at least get an idea of what to do instead of just trying to figure everything out from scratch. Although, knowing the kids they would have plenty of fun just trying to figure things out. However, I would prefer it if they gave it a proper try so that they can see if they like it.

  The rest of the kids are currently in the training room, so I will tell them about the art room later. For now, I head down to my workshop to unload all the materials that I managed to buy. Then I spend some time organizing all of the materials before I start crafting more tattoo guns.

  This time, I stay focused and don’t stop until I have finished the remaining thirty-five tattoo guns. As soon as they are done, I go looking for Bella so that I can hand them over and take an item off my list. I find her in the tattoo room with the four elves, Asuna, and Mulan giving a lesson.

  I hand over the tattoo guns and then leave quickly to try and avoid interrupting the lesson. Then I have some lunch and return to my workshop to work on the weapons and armor. If I can get them finished, then I should be done with crafting, at least for now.

  Luckily, I had done most of the work previously, so it only takes me a few hours to finish it. I would actually prefer to make more, but the main material is limited and it would be hard to get more. It isn’t like I am going to be able to invade a god’s realm and loot it again anytime soon.

  Then again, Holos is locked up by his pantheon, so I wonder what happened to his realm. Mythica should have already been there and should have left by now, so it should be safe. I can’t help but wonder if that mine has regrown the ore without Holos being there.
