Chapter 661 - 661 661 Not Hiding This Time

661: Chapter 661: Not Hiding This Time 661: Chapter 661: Not Hiding This Time Having thought it through, Zhao Guang called Jeana over, “Prepare in the next few days, we’ll be going out in a bit.”

“What should I prepare for?” Jeana was somewhat puzzled as to why her master wanted to take her out.

Although Jeana’s body had grown, her mindset was still the same as before.

Even when she was with Zhao Guang, she didn’t have any other thoughts, or perhaps it was more accurate to say that she couldn’t quite understand those situations for the time being.

Of course, Zhao Guang didn’t either, given that the changes in Jeana had occurred over a relatively short period.

Even though the Fox Demon now looked very tempting, those eyes of hers made it difficult for anyone to entertain messy thoughts.

“It’s mainly about Lifebound Totem training, you must train it well.”

Priests can construct Lifebound Totems, but they can only have one, and not one for each stage.

Without the best materials, it’s basically impossible for priests to construct one.

Once constructed, it’s a commitment for life, so the choice must be made very carefully.

Even with Zhao Guang, he had never asked Jeana to construct one, simply because she had been too young before.

But now, her physical age had grown, and her strength was sufficient, after all, she had reached the Advanced level.

If she didn’t construct it now, it would be very troublesome to find better materials later on.

“Got it, I’ll go prepare right away.” Jeana hopped off cheerfully.

However, with such a large figure, her bouncing and hopping was quite eye-catching indeed.

Shaking his head, Zhao Guang didn’t dwell on it and continued to calmly research Totem-related matters.

In the following period, Zhao Guang made no secret of his plans to go out.

This was followed by a series of adjustments, and after many such changes, the rules of his territory had gradually become more formal.

The same people were still in important positions, but the number of officials in the territory had increased sharply.

A complete system had been perfected over this period through constant trial and error.

However, this time, with the pretext of having to go out, Zhao Guang took the opportunity to fully refine it.

At the same time, an organization similar to an internal cabinet, dealing with routine matters, was also established by Zhao Guang.

At the very least, it could ensure that nothing went amiss in his territory while he was away.

The members of the Cabinet had mostly signed slave contracts, so there was no need to worry about them causing trouble once they were in power.

Meanwhile, the news that he was going out had spread far and wide.

A group from the Temple was hiding in a newly-built church.

The church wasn’t big, and it was in a rather remote location, but they had no choice—they could see that the housing prices in Xuanwu Territory were skyrocketing.

If they didn’t buy a place quickly enough, their earnings wouldn’t keep up with the pace of the rising housing costs.

A concern that troubled many young people on Earth was now bearing down on them.

However, it didn’t affect the subjects of the territory since their houses had been allocated to them.

Regardless of quality or location, the initial allocation was relatively equal.

The prices were mainly aimed at ensuing merchants and others in need.

“There’s no problem with this news, right?

Could it be fake?”

“Impossible, to put it bluntly, that person doesn’t take us seriously at all.” The faces of the crowd looked somewhat gloomy because they knew this statement was no laughing matter.

Suddenly, a young priest said, “So, what does everyone think?

This is a good opportunity we shouldn’t miss.”

In their eyes, Zhao Guang was definitely not on their side.

Not only was he not with them, but he had also been targeting them the whole time.

Looking across all the territories of the Empire, it was only Zhao Guang who treated them most casually and with the least regard.

When compared to others, this man simply became their enemy.

“No, we can’t make a move on our own, that would break the rules.”

Zhao Guang was a Mage, and what’s more, he had backing—a Mage backed by Silver Tower.

Zhao Guang couldn’t casually move against the Temple, as the Temple was backed by formidable powers.

Similarly, the Temple wouldn’t dare to easily attack these powerful Mages, or it would certainly provoke their assault.

Those Mages didn’t care about the Divine.

If they went mad, it would be deadly.

Thinking about some of the past conflicts between Mages and the Temple made their heads ache.

“We can inform some people in the south about his departure, like Marquis Coruas, who doesn’t have a good relationship with him.

Once they know he’s gone, they will definitely make a move.”

“Coruas?

Do you think he would dare to do so?”

“It’s not a question of daring, but whether he will act, like, for instance, Prince Sikell.”

Thinking about that useless Sikell, everyone felt reassured.

They weren’t without contacts with the Prince; in fact, they had used his power before to accomplish many things without stirring up trouble.

That Prince, with just a little instigation, would surely take action against Zhao Guang.

Zhao Guang himself was powerful and not easy to handle, but once he was away from his territory, things would be different.

“Moreover, many people inside Xuanwu Territory are dissatisfied with him.

They will definitely make trouble when the time comes.”

The crowd nodded.

These dissatisfied people were not just from the Temple but also included those merchants.

Merchants didn’t care who helped them make more money.

Due to various regulations limiting them, those merchants were annoyed.

They wanted more, so some were always willing to take risks.

“Good, let’s start preparing now.

We’ll take action as soon as he leaves.”

“Exactly, we have to speed up.

We don’t know how long he’ll be away.

Maybe he has other plans for this departure.”

The crowd nodded solemnly.

After this period, they no longer saw Zhao Guang as just some naive country bumpkin.

Without even making a move, he had shut down their missionary work with his regular development strategies.

If this had happened before, they would have been absolutely shocked.

The people from the Temple started to take action in secrecy, and it must be said, the power of the Temple was indeed not simple.

Because of their covert operations, even Zhao Guang was unaware.

To think that he had such control over his territory, and yet these people were still able to keep their actions hidden, proved how frightening the influence of the Temple truly was.

Even Zhao Guang hadn’t anticipated the Temple making their move at this time; he was only wary of others.
