After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1857

Chapter 1857: Holt City Again

Others, like Holt City, had also recovered well after the fire plague. First of all, some of the formulas they already had. After all, Zenno was originally from their City and had used their resources to create several of the initial versions or prototypes of what were being used now.

They also had huge amounts of resources, so after they received the formulas, they had dozens of expert alchemists figure out the formula (which were presented as efficiently as possible, which impressed these alchemists).

After that, thousands of people were mobilized to make batches and batches of the inhibitors, the vaccines, and eventually, the cure.

Like this, next to Alterra, Holt City was the next to settle down the plague.

In fact, the average time was even faster if one considered the numbers, considering Holt City had millions of people within its walls, citizens or not.

This was an incredibly great achievement and, ultimately, won the Glen family a huge amount of favor from the entire City. Zenno, too, of course, but they were told he didn’t want to be bothered now, so they respected that.

That said, the royal family did have an idea where their nobles were frequenting, especially if they specifically investigated, but the royal family was so secure that they didn’t really care so much for worldly things.

For one, other than official decisions for the City, the King himself was focused on absorbing aether crystals, and well, doing leisurely things. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He was more than a hundred years old at level 88, and there were no monsters of that level anymore—at least not enough to give him experience to upgrade just by killing monsters.

Absorbing aether crystals had its cap, so the King had long accepted that his lifespan—which was still in the decades, anyway—also had a cap. When someone already accepted their eventual death and could see that his descendants weren’t bad, they generally had a lot less dependence on power and control. He had no problem giving credit where it was due.

The Glens had received family prestige. Like this, they climbed up to among the top families, receiving the aether crystals promised at that level.

Today was actually the Court of Honors, wherein a meritorious family would receive acknowledgement and rewards. It was a proper ball, and it was also the first one after the disasters had been settled.

Well, it was the first ball since the Cold Wave, but it was the first Court of Honors in the past two decades. Holt City was so old; there were naturally very few things that could be seen as deserving of this honor now.

And the reward? The Family’s official entry to the High Noble circle!

The entire family had their chins up high and smiles on their faces at the after-party when various nobles and accomplished individuals approached them.

"I am looking forward to your new store! I was part of the taste testers. I cannot forget the taste!"

"I heard that we have a new supplier for luxury cloth?" another asked.

"Yes, we’re still maintaining deals with the Cloth City, but it’s good to have more."

"Yes, more will mean we have more options!" For luxury items, like special cloth, the Glens just matched the price of the available luxury fabric and added a bit more.
