Card Apprentice Daily Log Chapter 2444: Teleportation Hub

Ti: Unspecified

Location: Myriad Realms, Lil Red Storm Realm, Freedom galopolis, Teleportation Hub

With Ceed’s assistance, I brought Louis and Redfall to the Freedom galopolis’s teleportation hub, planning to use the city’s teleportation array system, still under construction, instead of spending a fortune on Devil rchant Code to teleport the three of us to the card world.

The freedom fighters had already finished connecting the city to Sky Blossom City, the Southern Capital, and the Southern Academic City. Mostly because I had secure bases in these cities thanks to Southern family. The Freedom Fighters were working with the officials of the Southern region to extend the teleportation channels to all its cities and establish an efficient transportation and trading route throughout the south.

However, there was a delay. It was because the Southern Royal family was too cheap. They weren’t willing to pay their share so I can help them establish a teleportation system connecting all their cities and Freedom City. Therefore, the captains of the freedom fighters were discussing an arrangent with the officials of the Southern region. Like allotting free land in all its cities and relaxing taxes on both the resources and labor used to build these teleportation hubs. Along with other incentives, of course.

Though I will own this teleportation array system, it wasn’t like I alone would be using it. I planned to let people use it at a reasonable price, of course. After all, operating a teleportation array uses a lot of soul energy. Now imagine how much soul energy one would require to operate and maintain a teleportation array system connecting all the cities within the Southern Region. It wasn’t going to be cheap.

Not to forget the economic boom the construction and operation of a teleportation array system connecting all of southern cities would bring to the Southern Region. The Southern Region and its Royal Family stood to gain a lot from my teleportation array system. So, if they were too cheap to pitch in their share of the capital, they could at least give us tax relaxations and attractive incentives. After all, the taxes they stood to gain from an operational teleportation array system were unimaginable.

Yes, the Southern Royal family did promise not to tax as long as I don’t leave the Southern region and don’t take my business to another region. So what If they can’t tax ? They could tax the citizens using the teleportation array system. rchants, guilds, and other businesses across the region would be willing to pay a premium if it ant they could travel or just transport their goods safely between cities across the southern region without having to worry about running into a field dungeon or roaming monsters.

All I wanted to say was that the Southern Region and the Southern Royal Family stood to gain a lot from a teleportation array system connecting all their cities. So, they should be enthusiastic and willingly investing in it. Instead, I have to beg them. It was as if they were taking advantage of the fact that I would build the teleportation array system regardless of their investnt. And once I was done and was earning enough, they would co to demand their share.

It’s not just the Southern Royal Family; the other royal families were the sa. Not just them, any governing body would do the sa. When a bunch of people sit in a luxurious hall and discuss the matters concerning those they didn’t even et, the conversation always concludes with them seeking maximum profit with little investnt and risk. Though the Royal Family had the final say, they couldn’t just do as they pleased without giving a good reason or risking civil unrest.

This was how things worked. Each side is negotiating to get the most. Unless I planned to replace the other side with myself, I should just stick to trying to ga their rigged system and accept my losses. Hoping to make up for it in the long run. Everything can’t be perfect. You have to make them work, work for you.

Besides, the main reason I was building this teleportation array system was to help connect the Freedom galopolis to the card world. It wasn’t just for tourism, trade, creating jobs for the Freedom fighters, but most importantly increasing the real estate value of the Freedom galopolis and attracting foreign investnt. Only then would Freedom galopolis be considered a real city. As of now, it was just a big human settlent.

"Which one of these is operational and linked to the array in the Southern Capital?" I asked Henricks, who was on site overseeing the construction of the teleportation array system. With his origin card and mastery over the space rule, he was the perfect test subject for a newly established array or testing its connection to the other arrays through the network of teleportation arrays that can allow a single array to link to all the others, creating a multi-way teleportation channel rather than a simple two-way one.

"Huh! The one on the right platform, sir. Other arrays will be operational soon," Henricks answered after gathering his thoughts from the shock of seeing the notorious Redfall alive and stronger than before. Conjuring all his courage, he asked the redheaded handso devil in human flesh, "Excuse , are you by chance related to Demigod Redfall anyhow?"

"Henricks, it’s , old friend," Redfall corrected him with a gentle smile, reaching to pat the forr on the shoulder.

"Who the fuck is your friend?" Henricks exclaid, retreating a few steps in disgust, avoiding Redfall’s touch. Then, with a gaze filled with disbelief, he asked, "How are you still alive? We killed you. I saw you draw your last breath as your soul left the physical plane with my own eyes."

Henricks regretted not looking into the recent rumors that Demigod Redfall was resurrected by his mother, Yin Widow. However, back then he didn’t believe them, having learned Southern Emperor Anna Heatsend had killed her while she was attempting to resurrect her son.

Without waiting for Redfall to answer him, Henricks turned to their young leader and warned while pleading, "Wyatt, I don’t know what lies this deviant has fed you, but you can’t trust anything he says. Help kill him."
