20 Chapter 20 : Spoon

The man sat on the grass, his hands resting on his knees.

"If we want to start a town, we'll need, people and houses," Gyll said.

"He's right, people won't settle in an empty village," Razyl said.

"Kaber, what is your opinion on the topic?" Mi asked

"Well, what causes villages to develop?" Kaber asked.

"In other words, what do people gain from a place, such that it would make them wish to live there," Kaber pondered.

"Safety," Mi replied.

"So do we build guard towers or something?" asked Gyll.

"Not towers... how about a fort!" Razyl suggested.

"Yes, that sounds a little easier," Kaber replied.

"And the people could settle outside its walls!" Gyll exclaimed.

After some planning, they finalised a rough plan of the fort.

"Well, this is...ambitious," Gyll commented.

"Sure is." Mi agreed.

"Well, let's get to work!" Kaber said!

"Wait." Mi gestured the people towards her.

Mi pulled out 3 gems from her sleeve and handed them over to the people.

"What are these?" asked Kaber.

"Arcane Tools, just think of the tool you want and it will become a more durable version of the tool, it's reusable too," Mi explained.

"Well, isn't that convenient." Gyll laughed,

"Yep, as long as you have any magic in your body you can use them," Mi commented.

"Eh? magic...you mean.." Gyll looked at Mi

"Nope, but don't worry. I have something for you too." Gyll looked at Mi with hope in his eyes, "Really?" He asked.

"Yes." Mi gestured Gyll to come closer.

Mi extends her hand dropping a wooden spoon into the man's hand.

"Eh...what the hell is this?" asked Gyll with a glum look of disappointment on his face.

"Go get em' " Mi said before walking away and disappearing into a puff of smoke.

"What are you still doing over there, come help us!" Kaber called out to Gyll waving a shovel with a slight blue glow to it.

Gyll sighed, "Coming." He replied.
