Chapter 641 You Have To Fail To Succeed



At the end of the day, it was a matter of fact that the dark energy blast had been powerful enough to cut through the walls and glasses of the skyscraper.

That meant the problems were either with the used materials, the defensive runic constellations which could be separated into the type of runic constellation and the combination in which they have been separated, or the runic solution that had been used.

"Maybe it\'s all three of them," Nial answered next to Master Crevian while pointing out something rather advantageous, "We didn\'t spend that much time trying to find out the perfect right materials, liquefied runic constellations, and runic solutions. I doubt that the Demihumans were that fast when they first created their Mega-cities.

As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to create a fortress that can even defend against the attacks of Ancient Gods!"

It was nice to know that someone was optimistic. In fact, Nial was the only one who should actually be discouraged.

Every single of his experiments cost him a vast fortune. Constructing a single Skyscraper made out of various rare materials, runic solutions and more couldn\'t be cheap.

As if that was not enough, Nial had to pay his workers as well. It was not as if he was in possession of slaves or anything like that. So, obviously, he had to pay everyone according to their experience of the job they did.

And that was not cheap either!

However, Nial seemed to be more worried about the motivation and determination of his workers than he worried about the money that had gone down the drain.

That kind of mindset was quite admirable, Master Crevian thought. Even if the Old Elf was not driven by money, it was very hard for him to ignore it when a fortune that was more than ten times higher than the gains he could make in a single year was set ablaze. It was very painful to look at.

"Maybe…you\'re right…" Master Crevian merely answered, feeling everything but motivated to continue to burn Nial\'s money. It was just too painful to look at.

"Don\'t act like that. Think of it as an investment in the future," The Royal Princess said all of a sudden. She didn\'t seem to think too much about the fortune that went down the drain whenever one of their experiments failed.

Princess Evalyne was right. The experiments could be considered an investment for a bright and prosperous future. It was not as if they wouldn\'t gain anything in the long run.

"In fact, Nial will probably earn much more from the experiments than anyone else," She pointed out as well. That attracted the attention of Sabrina, who was close to the Elves. Flying over to them, she pulled Mathias, whose hand she was holding, before joining the conversation as well.

"Why would he earn money from these experiments?" Sabrina asked, not sure how the explosions could help her brother earn a vast fortune. She was already shocked enough to see that Nial was able to throw his fortune around as if it was nothing worth mentioning. Thus, her brain was short-circuiting.

"It\'s pretty simple, really." The Royal Princess said, clearing her throat while looking around to make sure that everyone listened, "First, he can write reports where he mentions which types of experiments failed miserably. Releasing the reports online can bring him a small fortune by using the pay-to-read version for his theories.

However, there is something that allows him to earn much more!"

"What is it?" Sabrin asked, impatiently to hear what the Royal Princess had on her mind.

"Only Nial will clearly remember what types of runic constellations had been combined and which runic solutions were used. Everyone willing to join his experiments signed a Soul Contract that allows him to use his Dominion Ability to alter our minds and memories. He can temporarily seal our memories, and make us forget how we constructed the skyscrapers.

That way, only he knows what had been done, and he can sell his findings for an exorbitant price. After all, everyone wants to create stronger, settlements without losing out on too much land on small one-family houses and other places with two or three floors at most."

Everyone slowly nodded their head, roughly understanding what Nial could have in mind.

"A several-hundred-meter high skyscraper is indeed different from a small apartment complex…and Nial wants them to be EXTREMELY safe," Mathias pointed out, slowly getting to the next point.

"Wait a moment…if Nial provides the necessary safety, doesn\'t that mean he can increase the rent price for a room in the skyscrapers? If a skyscraper were to have ten thousand apartments, wouldn\'t that mean Nial could ask for a monthly rent of more than a thousand Origin Crystals of decent quality?" Sabrina noticed something the others had not even thought about.

Turning the land of a few households into a place that could give living space to ten thousand families meant that far more households could find a place to live in the Orion Shelter, and Nial could ask for enough rent to make up for the costs within a few years.

That was basically what Nial had planned even though he would rather see a prospering city than his wallets overflowing with a vast fortune.

He was not greedy for wealth anymore. His wealth was something that helped him experiment and upgrades the Orion Shelter. It was not that important for him anymore even for the cultivation process.

The only thing he had to take into consideration was probably to put aside some Origin crystals every now and then to use the stored energy to summon another Devil.

Nial was slowly summoning all of his devils using the Awakening of the Prymal technique. The technique was powerful and it helped him quite a lot. There was no need for him to go out and search for the places his devils had been sealed. That would be a vast of time, especially since Nial wouldn\'t be able to reach most of those places with his current strength either way.
