"You summoned a female?" Maria raised her eyebrows at Dorian as she walked by his side.
They were both strolling along the streets, where people were repairing the roads and constructing homes alongside them.
Dorian folded his arms and cocked his head sideways. "No, I summoned a bat; she just so happens to have a human form."
"Uhn-ahn, and now she is sleeping inside of you?"
"Yes, since her human form zaps a lot of mana, she is best kept hidden until I have enough to maintain her. In the meantime, she stays where she is."
Maria sighed, "It's always one thing or the other with you, my lord."
"Yeah, well, get used to it."
After walking for a while, the two finally arrived at the mining ground.
Dorian could already see the enormous walls that had been erected around the entire area from a distance, enclosing it and making it a safe and isolated area of the barony that was closed off from the outside world.
