NOVEL NEXT Chapter 14: Chapter 14
Jon sighed tiredly as he walked around looking at the rest of the area, the sellswords split into two, Sam and five sellswords stayed with him, Sansa and Danny, while the others returned to Volantis with Grenn, in search of supplies.
Jon explored the yellow area and there didn't seem to be any monsters, but there were no defenses either. The computer's protections not only eliminate enemies, but also purify the air and heal nature, water, and land.
Jon presumed that there were several consoles for each place in Valyria, for example, the green area where they were previously, was an evacuation or escape zone.
Jon imagined there were consoles for markets, military outposts, medical centers, treasury, and agriculture.
However, I also thought that in the central area, the computer that would be used to control other computers was the area where I was, because it was the center of the city, and also where the magic fuel was stored.
Danny was walking beside him, watching everything. Sansa noticed that they were both walking side by side, quite close to each other, although they didn't notice.
The girl watched for a moment and her gaze fixed on something shiny.
" Jon there," she said.
Jon turned his gaze and finally saw the console, the boy smiled and walked over to it, touching it with a finger but it wasn't lighting up.
"What happened?" the girl asked.
Sansa frowned.
"Maybe it's out of power," Sam said.
Jon nodded.
"Supposedly, the magic fuel cellars are around here," he said.
The others started searching, although they didn't know what it would look like. Jon also searched on his own until Sam called him.
He reached Sam, the boy was looking at a large metal door.
"Maybe here, if the magic fuel is the only thing that makes the computers work, it must be protected," he said.
Jon nodded and tried to force the door open.
Nothing happened.
Sam and the mercenaries helped him, but still, the door didn't move.
"Dammed" muttered Jon.
"It must be all rusty," said a mercenary.
"It's made of Valyrian steel, that doesn't rust" another clarified.
"Perhaps a key?" Sansa asked.
Danny said something.
"What did you say?" Jon asked.
"Open," she said, but saw that the door didn't open.
"Does it say something there or is it just dirt?" He heard Sam and saw that he was referring to the center of the door where there were some stains.
Danny walked over and brushed it off.
The door suddenly started making sounds, Jon pulled Danny away from it and put her behind him out of danger.
But the only thing that happened was the door swinging open.
"How?" Sam muttered.
"Dragon's blood" Danny whispered.
Sansa smiled.
Jon saw that it was some kind of wine cellar, he had seen similar ones before, only this time the large wooden cellars were replaced by Valyrian steel.
They came closer and saw that in one place there was a kind of bottleneck-shaped tube, and at the other end there was a kind of golden cable.
" A computer? " Sam asked.
Jon turned and saw his friend approaching it in the middle of the room, Sam touched it.
The monitor lights came on.
"At least it has energy" he muttered.
Magic Fuel Cellar
Withdrawal
Delivery
Total
Back
Those were the options.
"Put the total, I want to know how much there is," Jon said.
Sam input what he said.
Total magic fuel
3,75 %
3750 liters
" Exactly as the previous console said" Jon muttered.
"Pickup or delivery?" Sam asked.
"Deliver" said Sansa.
Delivery
Last delivery: 453 years.
New delivery
Back
" So it's been so long" Danny muttered.
"Choose new delivery," Jon said.
Sam pressed the button.
There were some noises and they turned to see the golden cable moving on its own, the mercenaries moved away.
Jon looked curious and approached the cable, he grabbed it, and the boy noticed how the entire cable seemed to light up.
Sam watched as numbers appeared on the terminal.
"It's absorbing your magic, Jon, it gave me the option to stop, I pressed it" Sam clarified.
Jon nodded.
Sam stopped the mechanism.
Delivery completed.
"status" muttered Jon.
The boy looked at the attribute screen and saw that his mana was a little low.
" It absorbed about 15% of my mana" he muttered.
"Sam, go back to the totals screen, and see if the fuel level has gone up" Jon exclaimed.
Sam does what he's told.
Total magic fuel
3,75 %
3750 liters
New stock of material
24HS
" Same, but it says new stock, 24 hours," Sam said.
"Mh, so we'll have to wait and see" he muttered.
Sam turned and went back to the last option.
Withdrawal
Retail withdrawal
Wholesale withdrawal

Sam pressed the retailer.
Specify the number of liters to be removed.
00000
(Retail withdrawal less than 10,000 liters)
"Interesting," Sam muttered. Then he pressed wholesale withdrawal.
Wholesale withdrawal.
Specify the number to withdraw
00000
(Wholesale withdrawal greater than 10,000 liters)
"I see, it can be withdrawn wholesale or retail, apparently if my theory is correct, the fuel will come out through the pipe in the corner" Sam muttered.
"There are canisters here" Jon heard and turned around. The mercenaries had empty canisters, there were all kinds, from small liter ones to huge ones that would require all of them to lift.
"Let's try 4 liters," said Sam.
Jon nodded and a mercenary handed him a small jerrycan, which Jon placed under the bottleneck of the hold.
Sam pressed retail and typed 4 liters.
A dull sound was heard and they saw a golden liquid falling from the still life into the bottle.
"Let's see if it works" he muttered.
They quickly left the place and headed to the terminal outside, Jon pressed a button behind the terminal, this opened a small gate and he put the magic fuel through it.
Danny stared at everything in wonder and touched the terminal, nothing happened for a few seconds and then it lit up.

"Administrator," Jon said, Danny typed it. And the image changed, the Targaryen princess noticed that it was some kind of status page, asking for information, the girl shrugged and began to enter Jon's information.
New administrator admitted.
Jon Snow
A light flashed in Jon's eyes and he reached the white room.
" Level up? " he thought, somewhat confused.
He wondered if donating magic and upgrading gave him experience points, and remembered that he also improved his points with actions other than fighting.
He quickly walked over to the computer.

He obtained the title King of Valyria.

Jon left, and looked at Danny in front of him.
"Now leave it to me," said Jon.
Danny moved aside and Jon went to defense, and he put Basic in zone one.
Everyone heard a noise like metal bars hitting each other, and the earth shook.
Basic defenses have been restored.
The area will be in its yellow grade, until full defenses are activated.
XXXXXXXXX
Robb had a dead look in his eyes.
" Are you sure? " he said.
" I'm sorry, but yes, everything has been confirmed" Dacey murmured.
"I see, leave me," he said.
A few minutes later Talisa entered the room.
"Robb?" she asked, calling him that in private.
She saw him in his chair with his hands on his head.
"What happened?" she muttered.
She approached him.
The boy saw her and when he saw her face she hugged him.
"Theon killed my brothers" he muttered.
[Come on! 3 more stones!]
"Oh god," she murmured and hugged him tighter.
"It's my fault," he muttered.
" No, it isn't," she said and kissed him.
[T/N: That was interesting, I'm must say I'm hating these system-heavy chapters, next time we choose a book I'm checking if it's system-heavy or not. If you like this chapter then leave a comment, write a review, and drop some stones. If you want to read a few advanced chapters then check out the P@treon or the Ko-fi.]
