Chapter 857: Chapter 461: Maiden Voyage with the Magpie_1

Owen Bertram shifted his main focus towards the Lord. The Lord was sitting with Sophia, hidden on the eastern coast of the Nanni Nation surrounded by an untouched dense forest. Several ancient villages were situated in the forest where the Nanni Nation’s rule was virtually nonexistent.

The Lord commanded Magpie to cleanse the forest of the demon beasts that frequently harassed the village, and the villagers worshipped the vicious Magpie as a "Divine Beast" and built a crude temple for its offerings.

But of course, the more malevolent the divine beast, the greater the sense of security it had brought to the believers in this primitive faith.

Under the protection of Magpie, the Lord was very safe here.

A subordinate knelt before the Lord, reporting various pieces of information about the "former Young Master". The Young Master was willing to submit to the Wood Dynasty, completely abandon the faith in "Fire of the Stars", and reenter the Wood Dynasty’s cultivation system.

His condition was that, as a first step, Wood would help him establish a small court in southeast Nanni Nation. The Young Master had many supporters in this region.

Owen Bertram pondered silently, feeling that the matter was promising!

The Lord waved his hand to let his subordinate exit, then discussed the matter with Sophia. Suddenly he said, "I have a granddaughter, you know about it, right?"

Sophia immediately floated her eyebrows and kicked him away!

As his unofficial woman, you had a granddaughter out of nowhere? What is going on?

The Lord hurriedly explained, "She isn’t biologically related, I just pitied her and kept her by my side. We need a strong protector for the things we are planning, that’s why I thought of calling her over."

Sophia was skeptical for a while, "A powerful person? Could she be stronger than us?" Both of them were at the Fifth Great Realm now, rare for anyone in the Nanni Nation to match such power.

After several days, the Mesmerizing Demon arrived at this place. Sophia was upset but dared not trouble the granddaughter.

Out of nowhere, she became a grand-aunt! It might seem a high-ranking role, yet no woman would desire such a position.

Besides, the granddaughter was from the Sixth Great Realm! She could not beat her, and when she tried to vent her anger on the Lord, the good granddaughter shielded him. Sophia’s fury subsided after some futile punches.

Magpie, the clumsy creature, comfortably sat on a tree nearby watching the fuss. Its large body bent the entire trunk. Its head tilted to the left, while Gregory Ryan, a little ghost, coming out from its neck, tilted its head to the right. Both of them enjoyed the show, while Gregory Ryan kept yelling, "Sophia, for the sake of our siblings, don’t bully the Mesmerizing Demon, will you?"

Sophia was furious to the point of feeling dizzy, you fool, at such a young age thinking such nonsense, you’re just lecherous for the little girl’s beauty! What do you mean I am bullying her? Can’t you see it’s clear as day that these two are ganging up to bully me?

However, after the Mesmerizing Demon’s arrival, the plan that Owen Bertram had been devising was set into motion.

The Lord, with the Mesmerizing Demon, went to a nearby city to liaise with the Young Master’s people, then engaged in tough negotiations. Eventually, the Lord and Mesmerizing Demon met the Young Master in person.

Short and thin, similar to other people from Nanni, looked like a monkey.

Once the parties reached an agreement, the Young Master left with his people, preparing to plot the split of Nanni Nation. The Lord assured him that the first batch of supplies from Wood Dynasty to support him would arrive within half a month.

The Young Master did find something strange: what was the young girl doing with a mirror when meeting me?

...

As the Young Master was planning to "establish a country", the Nanni Nation was in turmoil. "Young Masters" started appearing everywhere, rallying local troops, officials, and gentry to rise against the treacherous New National Lord!

When the Young Master himself got wind of the news, he was stunned! His subordinates recounted that there were more than thirty "Young Masters" who had made some noise nationwide! Not to mention some who were beheaded as soon as they showed up.

The Young Master had always been ambitious, nurturing power in secret, even stretching his influence into Wood Dynasty territory.

Therefore, there were many officials and commissioned officers across the regions who had seen the Young Master. They must be sure that the Young Master they met was real. What on earth was happening?!

[When the Nanni Nation became the "Six South Sea Counties" of Wood in the future, the two most favorite topics for discussion among numerous local historians are: which is the source of the River God faith between Susah Village and Yukou Town; and how did so many "Young Masters" suddenly appear after the late emperor usurped the throne, and each had believable records.]

The Mesmerizing Demon forcefully swung the Sun Illuminating Mirror, from which fell a series of Shadows of the Past, which just happened to be the "Young Master". The demon promptly dispatched them, replacing a fading "Shadow of the Past".

Since the Young Master’s cultivation was not high, the Sun Illuminating Mirror could maintain his images for over three days. That’s how all these "Young Masters" appearing all over the Nanni Nation came about.

The New National Lord was after all an illegitimate ruler. The Young Master had a strong appeal everywhere. Owen Bertram had no interest in the Young Master’s restoration of the country. Even if the Red Barbarians were defeated, he would fully annex the Nanni Nation into the Wood Dynasty.

Under the current circumstances, he wanted to stir up chaos all over the Nanni Nation, prevent them from fully fighting against the Wood Dynasty, and further deplete the power of Nanni Nation.
