Chapter 597 - 597 597 Status Has Been Raised Again

597: Chapter 597: Status Has Been Raised Again 597: Chapter 597: Status Has Been Raised Again Xi Fei noted Zhao Guang’s disinterest, and although puzzled, she decided not to continue the topic.

“There is another matter, which is about our sniper rifle orders.

Both sides are urging us.”

Zhao Guang thought for a moment, then said, “Ship to both sides, but send the Beastmen their order first, and after a few days, when the Royal Family presses for theirs, ship to the Royal Family.” That way, he could stagger the delivery times.

Later, even if there were an investigation, he would have a way to explain.

“The last matter is about the Magic Nodes.

We have discovered sixteen Magic Nodes within the territory, with the largest one near the Ruin River in the North.”

“The largest one?

How big is it?” He had already constructed a seven-story Mage Tower on his side.

In a while, once the main city’s construction was finished, he would move there.

After that, when he returned to the study of various magic-related knowledge, he would go back to the Mage Tower.

After all, with the Mage Tower’s various capabilities, his research would be easier.

Because of his elemental simulation, Zhao Guang had to study Elemental Magic in depth.

“The one by the Ruin River, based on the assessment, could probably support the construction of a nine-story Mage Tower.”

A nine-story one, that’s truly fearsome, Zhao Guang silently thought.

Because a nine-story Mage Tower represented a Legendary Mage Tower, not something just anyone could build.

Even with all the materials, he shouldn’t bother, for without the level of a Legendary Mage, it would be impossible to successfully construct one.

And materials, moreover, were probably not so easy to come by.

What a hassle, such a hassle, he hadn’t expected to have such a place within his own territory.

He hoped it wouldn’t attract the attention of the Undead Mages; otherwise, he would truly have to relinquish that area.

However, by the Ruin River, it must be gathering due to the water vein, most suitable for the water element.

“Seal the news for now, and let no one know.”

Whether or not to use that place in the future would depend on the circumstances.

For now, the Mage Tower network would center around his location.

“Also, accelerate the final adjustments of the Mage Tower; our Demon Summoning Ceremony needs to be conducted here.”

The reason why the Mage Tower wasn’t in use right now was partly because it was too far from him, as Zhao Guang was waiting for the main city to be completed.

On the other hand, there were some final adjustments to be made, which were quite tedious and included various interior decorations.

Zhao Guang didn’t want to deal with these himself, so he left it to the Magic Users he had recruited.

His team of Magic Users was no longer limited to just Mokli but had grown considerably.

This was also because his reputation was not very high; otherwise, even Advanced Mages could be recruited.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Guang had Xi Fei go to handle the matters.

Zhao Guang stayed behind to continue his research on where to start with his next Lifebound Battle Skill.

His previous focus had been survival, and at the next level, it naturally remained survival oriented.

As for combat, he mainly employed Mage tactics rather than those of a warrior.

However, obtaining the materials would probably not be so easy.

A few days later, Zhao Guang had to interrupt his cultivation and research once again, with reluctance, because the Empire’s people had come.

This time, it was someone coming to receive the sniper rifle, but due to their special status, I had no choice but to come out myself.

Indeed, the visitor was an old acquaintance, the Empire’s Third Princess Caris.

Seeing the little princess bouncing around as if she were the girl next door, Zhao Guang felt a profound sense of speechlessness.

Initially, when we first met and then again at our second meeting, this little princess had behaved with great dignity, but now it seems she’s not bothering with that pretense.

It makes sense, my side is bustling with activity and is filled with novel things, and there’s nobody here demanding she adhere to so much etiquette.

But to behave like this, aren’t you afraid the King will find out?

Forget it, after all, she is just a child, and she will eventually come to understand these things as she grows up.

“I’ve met with the Princess,” I said, “I really did not expect that a mere alchemical weapon would disturb Your Highness.”

Caris raised her hand slightly, “You are too kind, but that is no ordinary alchemy weapon, it is a powerful weapon capable of changing the course of battles.” They had known of this thing for quite some time already.

The ability to kill from an extreme distance is truly terrifying on the battlefield.

“Moreover, the reason I have come this time is not solely for these weapons.”

Zhao Guang was somewhat curious: “Then what other requests might you have this time?.”

It seemed like there hadn’t been any issues since my last visit, and as for the matter of title elevation, it hasn’t been long since the last promotion; even if I made a breakthrough, I couldn’t possibly be arranged for another one so quickly, as the Royal Family also has its dignity to consider.

Who knew, Caris directly stated: “This time, I am here for your title appointment.

Because Zhao Guang, as an Earl of the second rank, has governed his land very well, significantly increased the defensive power of the frontier, and has been meritorious to the Empire, it has been decided to promote him specially.”

Zhao Guang was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected to be further promoted so soon.

Doing this would surely bring a great deal of pressure to the Noble Management Office, as many nobles wouldn’t consider one’s merits or strengths at all, and to them, my rise has been too rapid, causing much dissatisfaction.

“From now on, you are the Empire’s Marquis of the third rank.”

Zhao Guang wasn’t too shocked; after all, if it wasn’t for an elevation to Marquis, the little Princess wouldn’t have needed to come in person.

Although Zhao Guang suspected the little Princess’s visit was more for leisure than business.

But to advance two ranks at once, every time, leading up to the status of Marquis.

At this rank, one becomes among the Great Nobles within the Empire.

I certainly never expected the King to have such boldness.

“I thank His Majesty for his generosity.

I will do my utmost and continue to contribute to the Empire,” Zhao Guang thought to himself while swiftly expressing his loyalty.

Caris, on the other hand, gave a slight smile; their efforts to court Zhao Guang were becoming somewhat unscrupulous.

After all, Zhao Guang was so young and his promotion had been so rapid, who could tell how high his future achievements might soar.

Anyway, an old Great Mage could exert a very formidable influence.

Once the ceremony was over, the little Princess immediately reverted to her lively demeanor.

“I’ve heard that many new cities have been built here; are there any fun places?”

“It’s still the same as before; we have built some small towns.

If you would like to go anywhere, I’ll have someone accompany you,” Zhao Guang would not allow the little Princess to wander around alone; it was far too dangerous.

Nowadays, many refugees had come to my territory, and although the management was still quite good, there were always people who might take risks and stir up trouble.
