Chapter 2920: Pest Control
As Adrian was doing the core of the formation that is to be laid on Alfheim, Levin Cloud is currently looking for the perfect place to put the Grand Cathedral. The World Tree has given him exclusive permission into making the Grand Cathedral anywhere but it seems that he cannot decide on an exact place. He considered three areas to make it but cannot decide on which one which is why he is currently consulting the queen that is about to be coronated in a few days despite her busy schedule.
“Is it not better to have it attached to the World Tree?” Anastacia stated as she is currently checking all the proceedings for her coronation.
“If we do that, there might be some people that could sneak closer to the world tree itself and harm it. I do not want the event that happened to the world tree that we first saw in this world to happen to the world tree now.” Levin Cloud stated as the previous church of life became corrupted and had numerous shady people infiltrate the world tree.
The previous church of life was located just at the base of the world tree and it became a hot topic when the event called the Poisoning of the World Tree happened. The fact that the world tree could be killed and destroyed because of a poison from a dark god sent a wave of shock to the entire world. If Adrian and Levin Cloud were not there to get the inheritances then this world would not have had a world tree now.
“If that is what you are worried about then go for the place at the center. The clergy will still live in the cathedral anyways and they just need to walk towards the world tree if they need to commune with it. Having the Grand Cathedral be a bit far from the world tree is also ideal as the construction of the palace is still underway. We cannot have two megastructures present in the same location.” Anastacia stated.
“Thanks for the approval then. I also wanted it at the middle as it could also create a new entire market system there. Even the lower level priests need some ways to live after all.” Levin Cloud stated.
“Seriously, you just wanted it to come to my mouth so that no one would ever say that you placed it wrong.” Anastacia stated with a sigh.
“I need some strong backing if I am to do it after all. If they have anything bad or any dislike about the decision then I would just proudly tell them that this is the spot that the queen has decided on. After all, the use of authority is something that should be implemented as long as you are favored.” Levin Cloud stated as he vanished from the room by becoming vines.
“I am still quite envious of his ability to morph into vines and move through the root system or the ground. I can no longer do that since I have already turned into a demigod. Then again, elves are more versatile so there is no problem in that regard.” Anastacia stated as she started to dive deeper into the laws that she will need to implement in her newly acquired kingdom.
Anastacia wanted to ask the Fairy King and Fairy Queen to be her advisors as they are established monarchs of a race but they suddenly left after everything was settled. The elected Fairy member of the Triumvirate that was established is not one of them but an elder of the Fairies. It seems that the Fairy King and Fairy Queen will not stay in Alfheim permanently as they already have a place in Avalon that they reserved in advance.
Still, Anastacia was told that she could have them be called if there is any problem. She even got a special bracelet called the Fae Circlet that can call upon the powers of the Fairy King or Fairy Queen when she is in trouble. It can also act as an emergency communicator if the world tree is currently under attack.
“They must have been fed up being royalty and responsible for an entire race for numerous years that they want to retire. The Fairy Elder did tell me that the Fairy King established the Elder Council just to make his life easier. The Fairy King was ultimately just a figurehead that decides if the laws they create are good or not.” Anastacia muttered but she will soon know that managing the Faekin is not an easy task.

Adrian finally finished creating the core of the Barrier of Isolation which is why he immediately inspected the outskirts of the territory. Thankfully for him, the World Tree is actively helping him decide how long are the borders of Alfheim. The world tree created an imaginary boundary using illusion mist which helped Adrian have specific coordinates.
“Huh? What is that?” Adrian muttered as he suddenly saw that there were holes beneath some parts of the ground around Alfheim.
“Maybe there are mole monsters around that dug it. After all, mole monsters are said to be one of the few monsters that are not afraid to encroach on the territory of others as they usually stay underground. They will not attack unless they are not provoked but they are still monsters. I need to clear them out or else they might be tagged as non-hostile by the core.” Adrian added as he summoned his soulbounds that could attack the underground.
Adrian summoned Dodu, Charon, and Alix as the two will be the ones responsible for clearing monsters while Alix will be power leveled by the two. Alix also has a special perception of tunnels so she might be able to help the two older soulbounds. The three of them slipped inside the holes and the extermination of pests has started.
[Dodu has killed a Gigant Termite.]
[Charon has killed a Rock Scaled Worm.]
Numerous notifications stating that his soulbounds have started eradicating monsters popped up. Adrian thought that it was not strange for monsters to flock towards the world tree as its immense life energy is beneficial for them. In fact, the reason why the elves before were a powerful race is due to the fact that they are battle hardened from protecting the world tree from monsters it attracts.
“I will leave you guys to kill as much monsters as you can. We can even call it the Pest Control project. If Alix gets experience points to level then it is already a good thing.” Adrian stated but he did not know that he actually ignored one message that he should have focused his attention on.
[Alix has devoured a Strange Stone.]
Adrian ignored the message as he learned that Alix seems to have a habit of eating things with mana. She favors rocks that have mana in them the most which is why Adrian’s stock of mana stones are dwindling because of her. She is such a glutton that he needed to find alternative ways to feed her as feeding magic stones is a luxury for Adrian as Avalon needs as much as it could.
“I should set up the sigils here since the boundary has already been defined.” Adrian stated as he started to create the sigils that needed to be etched into the dimension itself.
A normal barrier would have used some catalyst to create a spot of focus. This focus would then become the edge of the barrier but doing such a thing makes it easy to destroy barriers. If the catalyst is destroyed then a breach would easily appear in the area. This is why the Daemos used a different approach and made sure that the dimension itself will be the catalyst.
Only those that are at least greater demon in Persona can do suc a thing but even they can fail. Adrian could easily do this as he currently has lots of permissions to do so. He has access to the dragon vein if the needs energy to create the barrier sections. He also has the permission of the world to tap into the world barrier as well.
The dimension in front of him shook as it took in the sigils that he placed perfectly. There was no disruption or tearing of space as this was rather easy for Adrian as he did the same for Avalon. He weaved the true essence of the energy of nature around him to create the boundaries. When he finished doing so, his soulbounds returned with the spoils of the hunt.
“Nice work guys! We should move to the next location as there are eight more points. Alfheim is so large that I think we would need two days to fully activate the barrier.” Adrian stated as he patted his soulbounds for doing good. What he did not know is that he actually destroyed monsters sent by the enemy that Levin Cloud faced. The secret monster horde that would have attacked Alfheim have been wiped by Adrian in a day.
