115: Family members participate in the management of the sub-plane
After solidifying his realm as a Fifth-level Mage.
Brian extended an invitation to his father, Lyle, who was located in the Jose Family's main territory.
The next moment, the Mage Tower's teleportation array glowed, and the figures of his father, Lyle, and mother, Judy, quietly appeared.
They had long grown accustomed to their son's Mage Tower, which was managed by Spirit Eye and could instantly connect to various locations.
Brian set the family meeting in the castle's main hall.
Besides Brian, Alice, Emily, Lucia, and the four slightly older children,
Lyle and Judy, who had just arrived, also sat down with smiles.
"Father, Mother, I invited you today to announce something crucial for the family's future."
Brian's gaze swept over every family member present, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.
"Our family now possesses a sub-plane entirely our own."
As soon as he finished speaking,
except for Alice, who was already aware,
Emily and Lucia, among others, showed expressions of pleasant surprise.
The steady Lyle's eyes also flashed with a sharp glint, and he straightened his posture.
Brian smiled slightly, and ripples appeared in the space beside him.
Spirit Eye's Number 1 clone—a young girl with blue-purple orchid patterns wrapped around her wrist—materialized.
With a wave of her small hand,
a light screen made of magical light and shadow instantly appeared in the hall.
"Spirit Eye,"
Brian motioned, "Show everyone the imperial capital's plan and the preliminary proposed management structure."
"Yes, Master!"
Spirit Eye's voice was clear.
On the light screen,
the grand blueprint of the sub-plane's imperial capital and its clear management hierarchy were displayed.
Brian began to explain in detail:
"Father, Mother, this plane is the foundation and future of our family. I hope you can participate and help me manage it."
He looked at Lyle, "Father, you are experienced and knowledgeable. I would like to ask you to oversee all affairs of the entire sub-plane and grasp the macroscopic strategy."
Upon hearing this, Lyle's expression became a little troubled: "Brian, I still need to manage the family territory!"
"Father, Desac is already a Second-level Mage. He can manage the family territory well. Compared to the family territory, the family's sub-plane is more important!"
Brian also understood Lyle's difficulty and offered a reason he had already thought of.
"Alright then! You're right, the family territory is also going smoothly, so let Desac and his wife manage it!"
Lyle pondered for a moment, then agreed.
Then,
he looked at his three wives, and the assignments were adjusted accordingly:
"Emily,"
he looked at his resolute and passionate second wife, "The plane's defense forces, internal security, and the daily garrison of the robot legion require your decisiveness to coordinate."
"Lucia,"
he turned to his gentle third wife, who specialized in Life Magic, "Your temperament is mild, and you are meticulous. I want to entrust you with the imperial capital's internal affairs, people's livelihood, and most importantly, the medical and education systems. This aligns perfectly with your magical path."
"Alice,"
Finally, he looked at his steady main wife, "You are meticulous and oversee the big picture. I am most at ease with you managing the family's finances, the allocation of resources within the plane, and personnel coordination."
After arranging these matters,
he looked at his fifth son, still in swaddling clothes, a gentle smile appearing on his face, and his gaze turned to Lyle.
"Father, there's one more thing. This child is a symbol of the family entering a new stage; his name should rightfully be bestowed by you."
Upon hearing this, Lyle's expression became solemn and gratified.
He pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over his son, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren, finally resting on the newborn's rosy little face.
"This child was born when our clan acquired an independent sub-plane and embarked on a new journey, carrying the future and hope of the Jose Family."
Lyle's voice was deep and full of power,
"Let him be named Aaron! Aaron Jose! In ancient common tongue, this name signifies a guiding light and a noble mountain. May he, in the future, guide the family's direction like light, and become the family's reliance like a mountain."
"Aaron, Aaron Jose."
Brian softly recited, then a satisfied smile blossomed on his face, "A good name! Thank you, Father."
Alice also gently stroked the child, softly calling out:
"Aaron, my little Aaron..."
In the warm family atmosphere, a closely united sub-plane management framework, with Brian at its core, was thus established.
The next day.
The warm afterglow of the family meeting had not yet faded.
Brian personally led all core members through the Mage Tower's teleportation array, stepping into the sub-plane belonging to the Jose Family.
As everyone passed through the stable space gate, the scene before their eyes instantly captivated everyone.
The teleportation gate was set within the imperial capital,
near the palace walls.
Brian had designed a large teleportation square here,
enclosed by city walls.
The square led in two directions: one towards the palace, and one into the imperial capital city.
The next day.
The warm afterglow of the family meeting had not yet faded.
Brian personally led all core members through the Mage Tower's teleportation array.
They stepped into the sub-plane belonging to the Jose Family—the Dawn Plane.
When the slight dizziness of spatial transition dissipated, and everyone stood firmly, seeing the scene before them, their breath was instantly taken away.
The place they appeared was not a barren wilderness, but a square of unimaginable grandeur.
The ground was paved with solid blocks of grayish-blue magic stone, smooth as a mirror, faintly glowing with the luster of reinforcing runes.
The square was extremely vast, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people for gatherings.
Most striking was the towering city wall that encircled the square.
It was not entirely enclosed, yet it clearly defined the boundaries of the place, demonstrating its importance and strictness as a planar transportation hub.
Brian's voice sounded at the opportune moment, introducing the layout of the place to his family:
"Where we are now is the imperial capital's Teleportation Square. Centered here."
He raised his hand and pointed to two massive arched gateways, one to the south and one to the north:
"To the south, through the Gate of Radiance, lies the Imperial Palace Forbidden Garden, the core and administrative center of the family; to the north, through the Arch of Triumph, you can directly reach the imperial capital's main urban area, which will be the future hub of commerce, livelihood, and vitality."
His words were like a key, opening up a vision for his still-shocked family to understand this new world.
The air was filled with rich and pure magical elements; taking a deep breath, one felt refreshed, and even one's mental power seemed to become more active.
Looking up, the sky was not purely blue, but tinged with faint, aurora-like iridescent colors, adding a dreamy hue to this new city.
In the distance, the outline of the imperial capital stretched across the skyline.
The magnificent city walls, hundreds of meters high, resembled the backbone of a mountain range. Within the city, buildings were densely packed, their style a fusion of the Mage World's gravitas and the unique colors and fluid lines of this plane.
Further away, the palace complex in the imperial district reflected the warm luster unique to crystal jade under the peculiar sky light.
"Is this... our new home?"
Emily showed an excited expression, scrutinizing the square's defensive structure and key passages.
Lucia gently gazed at this land, feeling the natural rhythm resonating with Life Magic, contemplating the locations for medical facilities and academies.
Alice's gaze was more macroscopic, evaluating the square's throughput and traffic efficiency, conceptualizing administrative and logistics systems.
Old Lyle stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the grandeur of the imperial capital, his eyes full of emotion and pride, as if seeing the family's thousand-year foundation being laid here.
Brian smiled as he watched his family's astonished expressions, and softly called out:
"Spirit Eye."
"I'm here, Master!"
Spirit Eye's Number 4 clone instantly appeared beside him, a sweet smile on her face.
"Next, you will serve as a guide and assistant, fully cooperating with Father and the ladies to familiarize yourselves with everything here and help them establish their respective management systems."
"Understood! Mission accomplished!"
Spirit Eye Number 4 happily responded.
She then skipped over to Lyle and the ladies.
She began to introduce the plane's detailed situation, resource distribution, and already-built core facilities as if they were her own treasures.
Watching his family gradually immerse themselves in discussing the new future under Spirit Eye's guidance, Brian smiled from the heart.
