Enu

in the morning Alexander then went to one of the branches of Oumros to buy a clone spell, he will also try to gain some knowledge stars but it will not be easy ( knowledge stars : as said in previous chapters , when you exchange knowledge or information with oumros and if you come up with useful information , oumros can reward you with knowledge stars, ranked from 1 to 5, masters of a certain profession have 1 star , grand master 2 )

whether it is the flying ships or knowledge about teleportation oumros is already much more advanced than his ancient world ( 5 star knowledge )

the mages even have spaceships that can make long journeys, the only problem is that the worlds they invaded through the inter dimensional portal are several light years away and they don't have a way to speed up their space travel

Alexander wanted to gain star knowledge writing about the  technologies that were not developed yet like submarines, research on anti-matter, the creation of space bases, the different alloys for spaceships, etc.

but first Alexander had to use a little of his time to adapt his research to the knowledge of Oberon for example he cannot write the word ''steel '' because the word ''steel'' has a different name in Oberon, iron too and the properties of each material are different because of magic

there is also the presence of runes, all of which means that Alexander must first study the knowledge available on the ''internet'' and then write his thesis

all of this while concocting potions and overseeing the creation of his own spy group

lately , he wanted to use the different mages to try and conquer a new territory in the mountainous regions but it wasn't that simple, otherwise the heartofsteel family would have already done it

the mountainous regions had an almost infinite area with lots of different monsters that governed some regions, Alexander's bet was that in one of these territories there would be a place for a level 6 group

after several sacrifices and 97 years of searching, Alexander found what he was looking for, 500 miles east of Ugul was a territory with no family of level 7 or higher supervising it, all the regions nearby were made up of families of level 6 or branches of monster families of level 7 or higher but which were themselves at level 6

it was the equivalent of a small town, there were resources but not enough for a level 7 life form to  stay there permanently

the humans and monsters of the mountainous region were already at war and a level 7 mage was 100 times more powerful than a level 6 mage, Alexander took an extra measure of security and hired through the '' internal network'' of oumros a level 7- advanced mage

the contract specified that in the event that a level 7 mage attacked the camp, the mage had to defend it for 30 minutes, the time for Alexander to take all this stuff and  run away 

Alexander was not afraid that the level 7 mage would betray him seeing the riches he could extract from the mountainous regions because the Heartofsteel family always protected him

but hiring a level 7 mage had its price, 48 potions of strength per year

during the 100 years that Alexander had spent in ugul, he was not idle and 90 years ago he managed to assemble his 50 summons

he sent 2 of them to agartha and captured 2 level 5 master alchemists with no affiliation in the adjacent towns (since he was going to the center of Oberon where master alchemists are numerous and he was not going to sell his potions in Agartha where there were not many master alchemists he was not afraid of being caught) he then brought them back with germain to ugul 

with the 4 master alchemists working , he managed to generate 96 potions per year ( of wealth not the potion itself as only level 6 grandmaster alchemist car concoct them )

the level 6 grandmaster alchemist was unfortunately still to far away and alexander was not  good at potions making

he was now going to build a small base at the entrance of the forest, the region in question contained a level 6 fire-type elemental stone deposit

in addition he was going to plant herbs ( the majority of the herbs he owned were in the pocket dimension where the passage of time was altered (10 times slower or faster)) and Alexander had used this to his advantage , nearly 70% of the ingredients needed to concoct the strength potions were in his possession

Alexander had as neighbors a group of wild boars, orcs and a group of chimera with the head of a goat and the body of a horse with wings, they were unfortunately not herbivores and not friendly at all

the orcs had powerful mages who supported them but the chimeras and wild boars did not have any faction to back them up

he had barely settled down when the orc,the chimera and the boars attacked him, this saved him the effort of introducing himself, he thought.

he planned to attack the chimeras and the boars but did not want to have a conflict with the orcs but he was not going to flee the battlefield now not after all the efforts he put in 

the enemy group consisted of 10 level 6 mages, all at intermediate level

Alexander's summons were all level 5 pinnacle ( he recalled his summons from the red lotus to deal with the wild boars and chimera , he just didn't expect that they will come to him )

he detonated the majority of his summons to kill the level 6 mages 

it was a massacre, the orcs and wild boars were killed and  some of them were enslaved

the chimeras were forced to sign a contract where all their clans would work for Alexander for more than 100,000 years

chimeras made good mounts as they were fast and comfortable to ride on 

after the war, the boars' den was pillaged, many trinkets were found but also some precious stones and herbs putting the ingredients for the creation of the strength potion in Alexander's possession at 80%.

with the establishment of a territory alexander had become famous and several level 5 mages wanted to work for him

a team of level 5 combat mages joined Alexander but since he could not implant them with orbs of obedience he only trusted them moderately, they will be useful in expanding the base he thought 

the response of the orcs was quick and a level 7-beginner was called to uproot Alexander's camp

but this level 7 was a mage who had just advanced , feeling the fluctuations of an advanced level 7 mage ( the one Alexander hired ) , he ran away

following the disappearance of the level 7 mage , the army of nearly 1,000 mages who came with the level 7 orc ran away in panic Alexander obviously ordered the orcs to be captured, they would transform them into slaves or their families would try and buy them back, he did get 10 level 6 slaves from the war ( who could be implanted with an obedience orb) 

Alexander, learning his lesson from his previous mistakes, purchased fortifications from Oumros and now his level 7 mage could stand up to a level 7-pinnacle mage ( beginner , intermediate, advanced, pinnacle , 4 stages )

the days passed like this, after their first defeat and seeing the different fortifications built by Alexander the orc stopped harassing him , at least for now 

the camp was named Liberty and became a prosperous camp, a lots of mages from level 2 to level 6 were hunting in the forest, each mage who accessed the camp had to pay some stones of element, you had to pay to rent the land for you business , you had to pay for your own accommodation as it wasn't safe to camp outside the camp  ect …  Alexander made 50 potion a year ( 1 potion = 100 millions elemental stones of level 6 ) 

but the region was still unexplored and rich in resources, which was why so many mages went to camp liberty

obviously some mages came with bad intentions and a group of level 6 mage who wasn't willing to believe that Alexander had the support of the Heartofsteel family or that of a level 7 mage was guarding the camp attacked 

alexander could easily kill level 6 mages because he had 3 time their strenght plus the detonation of his invocation he didn't fear any mage or group of mage of level 6 or lower, the intruders were either  killed or enslaved, which brought free publicity to the camp

out of the 10 mages , 9 were killed 

the last one  was a 500,000 year old mage , level 6 pinnacle, with a white beard and eyebrows who was called enu

Enu was a stingy and a greedy mage, hence the fact that he attacked the camp but he had a developed business sense and had a lot of luck 

he never walked around without his shovel which he often used to dig up the treasures he found or without his bag which was reputed to be bottomless

after pitifully asking Alexander for his freedom, he agreed to work 100,000 years for the camp and on top of that, he would have an orb of obedience implanted

Alexander accepted a level 6 because he was simply understaffed and it took many mages to manage a camp of this size, his summons were in the different branches of red lotus

but what made Alexander validate Enu as the mage responsible for the camp is the fact that his family will live in Ugul near Alexander and that Enu, even if he was grumpy and stingy old man  loved his family dearly 

Alexander would therefore have a lever to control Enu if one day he rebelled
