Chapter 451
Chapter 451: Just the beginning.
The next morning, Blake returned to his house with a slightly different plan. Instead of creating a chimney, Blake decided to go for a modern design.
The room and the roof truss would be imbued with cooling arrays that would cool the hot gases from the forging room and expel them through the flat vents he would make at the top and sides of the building.
Blake first started by carving out the holes for the vents before creating the ventilation channels.
Once the ventilation channels were complete Blake began inscribing arrays on them. Apart from the cooling arrays, Blake also adds detection and traps to prevent anything both small and big from getting in.
With the vent completed, Blake continued reinforcing the forging with arrays before installing the furnace, forge, array circle and other forging equipment.
This took him almost 6 hours of nonstop work and after that, he went straight to installing the power source.
The energy crystal he managed to get his hand on was a large chunk of a light green tier 2 crystal called estrium.
.....
There were countless types of energy crystals which also included elemental crystals, but they were all grouped into 5 tiers.
The grading was based on a lot of things like; the amount of energy in a size, the ability to regenerate itself, special features that they grant when used to make items, amplifications to arrays and so on.
estrium which was a tier 2 crystal was light years below thranium which was the only tier 5 crystal known to man.
The light green crystal couldn’t regenerate its lost energy like thranium, but Blake bought it because not only was it among the cheapest crystal but he was just using it as a backup in case the power being supplied by the city went out.
Besides if the house was to get attacked by a demigod he would be too busy trying to escape and wouldn’t be able to take the crystal with him. So this way it wouldn’t be a lose-lose situation.
“Only if I had a house in the void where I can just teleport to, I won’t be worried about losing everything in an attack.” Blake let out a sigh as he began working on the power core.
In the next 2 hours, Blake was done setting up the estrium crystal as the power core. All that was left for the interior were the furniture and decorations.
“I already know how I want to place everything in the rooms and the painting for the building. What I need to plan for is the yard itself.” Blake said as he activated all the arrays in the house before locking up and leaving.
...
On the morning of the 4th day, Blake went straight to the adventurer association to purchase paint, a bed and furniture. Also, he ordered a few golden humidifiers and lights from his company.
He waited for the ordered items at the adventurer association before getting back to his house and begin painting the walls.
With telekinesis Blake did not need to touch the paint brushes, but he was able to paint multiple walls at the same time. This drastically reduced the time he spent painting to 3 and a half hours.
After that Blake used the next hour to clean up the house and place everything in his desired location before moving to the exterior.
“Guess I would be late today.” Blake wanted to finish the renovation that day meaning he would be returning to the school late.
Without wasting time, he started painting the building’s exterior. That took him 2 hours to complete and another 2 hours for inscribing arrays on the walls and gates.
The arrays made sure that anyone coming in contact with any of them would alert him. The alert range of the arrays also stretched to the atmosphere of the compound in form of a dome.
“This was worth it!”
Blake wiped out the sweat on his forehead as he looked all around the living room which was lit by the colorful lights coming from the bulbs and RGB light strips.
“The best part of this is that even if I am to be investigated about how I could afford this, my payments from my time as an adventurer would be enough.” Blake said.
[It is advisable that you have a business that everyone can see. It would prevent being investigated in the first place.] The system said.
“I have already thought of that. I have something in mind, but I will need to discuss it with Castiel and Brian.” Blake said.
“Too bad I can’t enjoy it now. See you in 2 days.”
Once he confirmed that everything was in order, Blake boarded a carriage that took him back to school.
...
The last day of the week had arrived and it was now time for them to go their separate ways.
“Why are you guys acting as if most of us are not living in the same city.” Blake said when he saw that everyone’s mood except him, Damon, and Luciano was gloomy.
“We have been together for almost 3 years now. So it would be hard getting used to not seeing you guys during mealtime.” Tessie said as she began hugging everyone with tears in her eyes.
Her words made the 3 of them realize what was about to happen, making them emotional just like the rest.

“We can always set up a date for a reunion.” Castiel said as he hugged Tessie.
“That’s a nice idea! I have no problem with that.” Camilla said.
“Same here.” Damon said.
“I will surely be able to make time for you guys.” Luciano said.
After a few minutes of chatting, the group hugged themselves for the last time in a long while before boarding different carriages.
Damon and Luciano were heading to the palace in the center region to warp to the capital, Tessie and Camilla to their family mansions, and the trio to their new houses.
This was the official start of their life in the real world.
