My Kingdom Building Done Right!

"So, feeling better now?" Leone smirked. "Not only did I tell you my strategy to ensure my safety, but I am also doing my best to help Jason win the tournament. This is what you call hitting two birds with one stone."

"Yes," Tianna admitted. "I feel much better now. So, should I tell Vlad that you are looking for him?"

"Yes."

"Understood."

Leone wasn’t lying when he said that Vlad was his key to ensuring his safety on his trip to Eden.

He was already planning to spend 50,000 BP for a body double.

However, this body double wasn’t perfect. If Leone wished to have a perfect body double, he would need to spend 500,000 BP for it.

Frankly, this expenditure went beyond his budget.

Fortunately, he had managed to obtain a few things during this trip that would help him create a near-perfect body double.

After his talk with Tianna ended, the young lady once again donned her disguise before leaving the underground tunnels of the Aslan Tribe.

Several minutes later, an excited Vlad arrived at the cavern.

Tianna had passed Leone’s message onto him. Naturally, the teenager was more than happy to help his idol.

"I’m here, Leone," Vlad said in an excited tone. "Sister Natalia didn’t tell me all the details. But whatever you need my help for, I’ll do it without fail."

"Good." Leone nodded. "Because only you have the power to help me right now, Vlad."

With that, Leone took out his "body double" from his storage ring and showed it to Vlad.

The teenage boy blinked once, then twice, as he looked at the faceless mannequin in front of him.

Fortunately, Vlad was a very intelligent person, so he managed to quickly connect the dots.

"Leave it to me, Leone." Vlad patted his chest with confidence. "I’ll do my best."

And with that, the young chieftain became Vlad’s model for nearly two hours before the masterpiece was done.

"...Why does this thing not look like me?" Leone blinked.

"What do you mean?" Vlad tilted his head in confusion. "It looks exactly like you, Leone."

"Really?"

"Really!"

The body double looked at Leone in disdain before flipping its hair in arrogance. It was as if it was saying, "You’re right. I’m more handsome and more fabulous than you."

The young chieftain was half-tempted to kick the annoying bastard at the sight, but held back. Instead, he decided to call fair judges to determine whether the body double really looked like him or not.

Soon, Leone called out to Yuni, Aria, and Kael to judge whether the mannequin that Vlad had painted to look like him was indeed a perfect rendition of himself.

Vlad’s Dreamweaver Brush was a Legendary-Grade artifact that could make whatever Vlad painted to become real.

Although the effect only lasted for several minutes, it was without a doubt a very powerful artifact that had the power of "Creation".

"This..." Aria looked at Leone and the mannequin in shock. "They look exactly the same!"

The mannequin scoffed at those words, as if it had heard the worst insult that it had ever heard since it came to life.

It was then that Leone and the body double both looked in Yuni’s direction. They were planning to let her decide who the most handsome was between the two of them!

However, it didn’t take long for them to realize that the young lady wasn’t looking at their faces.

Instead, she was looking "down" there.

"H-Hey, Yuni. Where are you looking?" Leone noticed that the young lady was looking below the waist of the mannequin as if she wanted to confirm if they were indeed the same.

The mannequin also felt shy at that moment, so it covered that part with both hands. Although it was wearing pants, it couldn’t help but act like a real person.

"Nothing," Yuni replied innocently. Though the teasing smile on her face was enough for the body double to suddenly become conscious of his *ahem!*

While Leone did strip to allow Vlad to draw on the physique of the mannequin to become a near-perfect replica of his body, he only removed his upper clothes, keeping his pants on!

"This is without a doubt a good replica." Kael nodded. "But what do you plan to do with this, Great Chieftain?"

"Oh, right. I still haven’t told you about my plan." Leone scratched his head before telling Kael about his body double plan.

Upon hearing the full details, the shaman could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Leone’s words effectively tackled the main concern of all of his vassals.

"As expected of our Great Chieftain!" Kael said with praise. "With this, we will not have to worry about the schemes of those who wish to harm you at the Tribal Gathering. I, Kael, am truly impressed with your wisdom! However, I have a concern..."

The shaman was very curious about Vlad’s magical brush, having asked Leone about it when they were still spinning the Wheel of Fortune.

According to Leone’s explanation back then, the things Vlad brought to life could only exist for a short period of time.

Even if they could cut the traveling time by flying to their destination, the Tribal Gathering and the tournament would still last for several days.

With that in mind, Kael was afraid that Leone’s body double would once again return to being a lifeless mannequin after the effects of the Dreamweaver’s Brush ended.

If memory served him right, the brush’s ability only lasted for a few minutes at most.

Once Kael told Leone his worries, Vlad also realized that he was right.

Then, as if proving Kael’s worries were true, the body double soon reverted to being an ordinary mannequin.

Although it still looked like Leone, the fact that it stopped moving completely proved that the effect of the magic was gone.

"Worry not," Leone replied. "There is a way to overcome the Dreamweaver Brush’s shortcomings," Leone declared with confidence.

The mannequin that he had purchased from the Arcane Shop could be powered by Magic Crystals and Monster Cores.

Since he still had the Bronze Dragon Core with him, he planned to use that as the power source for his body double.

Daedalus had also applied special runes on the mannequin, which would allow Leone to take full control of its body within the safety of the Aslan Tribe.

With this, his safety was already guaranteed.

In fact, Leone was already looking forward to the Tribal Gathering and seeing the Fortress City of Eden with his own two eyes.

When his territory had been upgraded to Rank 2, it allowed him to place a second banner at a different location.

He and Daedalus had already planned to secretly establish Eden as Leone’s second territory, which would allow him and his people to instantly teleport to its location all the way from Grimjaw Mountain.

It was a very diabolical plan, and yet, both of them wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.

After all, if everything went according to plan, Leone could attend the Tribal Gathering without ever putting his real body in danger.

And if anyone tried to assassinate him, they would only end up killing a mannequin while the real Leone remained safe within his city in Grimjaw Mountain.

Most importantly, if things really took a turn for the worse, then he could simply mass teleport him and his people away from Eden, or...

He could teleport his army directly inside the city and teach those who thought that they could bully him a lesson that they would never forget.
