What Ivy didn't know was that this very decision would change the trajectory of the entire world and accelerate events far beyond her expectations.
She returned to her room, lay down, stared at the ceiling, and fell asleep almost immediately. Exhaustion claimed her without mercy.
When she woke up again, two hours had already passed. A knock sounded at her door.
She opened it to find a soldier standing outside, carrying a huge bag filled with iron balls.
The moment Ivy saw them, she smiled softly.
"Put them inside."
After the soldier complied and left, Ivy looked at the iron with a thoughtful gaze. She had made a deal with Silas earlier.
Iron was something her temporal storage couldn't multiply since she wasn't the one who had picked it, making it one of its biggest limitations.
But now, with enough raw material, Silas could multiply it endlessly.
'An iron barrier around the base… that's doable,' she thought.
