Raunak was a bit stumped by the letter. He doesn"t know how to react.
He always felt that Sam is a bit mysterious but he didn"t know that he is far more mysterious than he could fathom.
This letter answered some of his questions, but created a lot more of them. Ramya is even more confused. But they didn"t pursue the topic. It is their big day after all.
After that day, Raunak wanted to ask Sam about the letter many times, but he couldn"t bring himself to and since Sam is also not keen on this and it was made clear within the letter, both of them didn"t bring up the topic and just went on with their preparations.
First thing Sam did after the wedding is go to the Planet 2 directly and then he took up residence in his base along with the trio so that he could travel back and forth from desolate planet and bring his staff back.
Since many people graduate from the school and join the organization, and also from the time Sam sent the first batch of people to the banished realm, everyone is waiting for such a chance. Sam didn"t bring those people from the banished realm, but many people heard stories from the dwarves.
Once they stayed in the desolate realm for a long while, there is a limit to what they can do and learn here, so there are many eager candidates that wants to leave this place and grow somewhere else, where the consummate realm cultivators are not the strongest anymore.
They want to experience that new world.
And along with that, many of these graduated and eager people are handpicked by the already established department heads, researchers and the professors of the school.
They are all eager to join a place like this.
And Sam decided to take around forty people this time. Even though it is far more than what he took to the banished realm, but there is a difference. The banished realm is a mutual exchange program for learning. He doesn"t need much development within the banished realm due to its limited resources, but the charbhum realm is different.
He has a completely different set of plans for that realm.
He made trips and slowly made all his candidates merge in this place. Along with them, Sam also let out another group of people. The Vampires.
Precisely speaking, the vampire chess pieces. Once they entered the chess board, they are bound to it. And since Sam has multiple chess teams, he has made them fight each other non-stop and he finally broke through their minds.
They are bound to listen to Sam"s orders and they are bound to work as a team. Now they are nothing more than brainwashed slaves with some bloodsucking habits.
But Sam didn"t forget to feed them. Every day, he eats a lot and he collected the blood of the beasts he ate and gave it to the vampires, so they are slowly growing.
He even experimented with the blood of the sea folks, but only water element vampires have any use for that, the rest of them are extremely receptive of this.
The same thing happened to the ghouls, only water elemental ghouls can eat the flesh of the sea folks.
As for why Sam is interested in feeding them, it is because of the sting ray fish. The fish that ate and drank the flesh and blood of the sea folks had mutated.
The mutation is slight, but it can make a lot of difference when compared to a normal sting ray fish.
Most of the changes are physical, the stinger improved in size and shape along with the enhancement of the poison and even the body"s physical characteristics are improved. The defense and the dexterity are amazing. These things really increase the strength of the sea creatures.
Now coming back to the vampires, he is going to leave them here as the secret guards. The chess board makes it possible for him to make them obey all the commands.
So, he is making them the secret guard of the school and the base. As for why he is not leaving the ghouls, wights or the Minotaur, they cannot merge into the society here with their looks.
It is that simple.
After arranging everything and all his personnel are in place, it is now time for Raunak to do his magic.
He is going to conduct ma.s.s examinations for the teacher"s license in all three planets. Previously there are very rarely any teachers picked from the side planets, except for some special schools that are established within those planets.
But now, Raunak is changing the norm using his authority.
While Sam is waiting for the tests to be over, he heard a news which he can take advantage of. The news about the sea.
This shocked him a bit, because he knew that the situation improved since the products he gave started production and are being constantly produced and the government which is vastly wealthy is not holding back anything at all.
They are clearly putting all their efforts in, but it seems like they p.i.s.sed off the sea folks even more. The sea folks created a large sea wave which is almost a miniature tsunami and flooded the border villages. The sea water launched itself through the woods and hit the towns and villages that are under right next to the forests separating the seas and the rest of the planet.
And this happened to every border town or village and the sea folks used this water as their advantage and are advancing into the villages and towns and slaughtering the people and the beasts in the forest. They are staying there until the next wave of water and are using it to take the corpses back along with them and are escaping.
Sam didn"t get this news from the shadow mice or some other indirect way. He got this news from the people"s gossip. The news was already all over the public and the people that are in those villages and towns are trying to reach the capital. The people are flooding over every day.
Sam couldn"t help but shake his head. The soldiers didn"t seem to get a hold of the weakness of the sea folks and are still fighting with them directly like fools. The first they should have done is send a team of elite to go deep into their territory and find as much information as they can. But they are just fighting them like brutes.
For the first time, in a while, Sam is thinking of selling something else this time. But not in exchange for the money, but for some permissions.
So, he left the Planet 2 and went to meet professor in the Planet 1.
"Didn"t expect that a day would come for you to come and meet me. What do you want?"
"I am not here exactly just because I want something. But I also have something that you need. Which actually trumps what I want."
"What would that be?"
"The way to defeat the Sea folks."
Professor stayed silent for a while and looked at Sam right in the eyes.
After that brief pause he spoke.
"You knew about the sea folks before the war didn"t you?"
Sam just smiled and stayed silent.
"So, what do you want and what do you have to offer?"
"First, let us talk about what I have to offer. I have a detailed hierarchal structure of the sea folks, their breeding methods, their weakness, strength everything you need to know about it, I know it. How valuable do you think it is?"
"Do you want more money? Just how much money do you need? You know that you are one of the wealthiest individuals in this realm right?"
"No, I don"t need money. I just have too much of it."
Professor really wanted to smash his face.
"Then what do you want?"
"I want some approvals done."
"Approvals?"
"Yes, I need some government approvals. I would like to charge of the government funded orphanages."
"Why would you do that?"
"I am an orphan myself. It is just giving back to the society. I would take charge of the orphanages. All their needs will be taken care of."
"Its hard to get those approvals, if there is any mishap in the orphanage, the public will grill the government and the government will have to grill you which would be a bit problematic as you are a major tax payer and the bureaucrats don"t want to p.i.s.s you off."
"Don"t worry, I have a way to convince you."
"How?"
"The new school is going to open its one research center and they have their own revenue system. Half of the revenue gained by that research center will go for the school and the other half is going to the orphanages.
The research base in the planet 2 also comes uses a similar scheme, but they will give one-third of their income to the orphanages."
"That"s a lot of money."
"Of course, it is. So, now can I get those approvals?"
"Yeah, one of my students will contact you for the paperwork, it will take two days for the approval, and you can give me the data then."
"Are you sure you don"t want it now?"
"I am not stupid enough to think that you would give it to me now."
