Chapter 160: Chapter 121: Searching for Other Sources of Magic and Becoming the Guild Leader of the Blacksmith Guild_2

But everyone knew about the strength of the sailor on that ship.

Besides, risking offending a power for a nebulous treasure map, when the whereabouts of the treasure were unknown, appeared too costly a move.

Ivita carefully stored the treasure map, likewise placing the Bronze Prophetic Dagger he obtained from the Fire Sacrifice Square he passed by on the road.

The Prophecy Dagger prophesied that a thousand years later the spirit of Republic of the Ancient Civilization would revive, yet who knew if it had already revived or not.

It seemed the Republic spirit existed in different forms; some were like the guild-style Republic of Florcana, but apparently there was other versions of the Republic spirit.

He would research these in due course.

"My Lightning Curse is already quite proficient. If I could acquire a Source of Magic with lightning attributes, that’d be great," sighed Ivita.

At this moment, a skinhead man he didn’t recognize, walked into the courtyard.

The man dared not meet Ivita’s eyes, but with slight downcast eyes spoke to Ivita, he said respectfully and reverently, "Honorable Lord Ivita, Lady Alice, Parviga’s best friend, invites you to visit the Blacksmith Guild."

"You intended to sell a cartload of cast iron, didn’t you? Lady Alice decided to put aside all her affairs, to address your issues first."

Ivita raised his eyebrows, "The main priority now is to purge the city of traitors, right?"

The skinhead man hesitated, "Indeed that’s the case, but Lady Alice said she can’t keep her friend waiting too long as that wouldn’t be good hospitality. Therefore, she wants to discuss about the cast iron business first."

Ivita nodded his head in agreement.

He called out to the Old Witch at his residence, instructing the four apprentices he brought along to drive the iron cart, following the man to the Blacksmith Guild.

A row of buildings in the Blacksmith guildhouse, with lion flags implanted, bustled with many buildings already back at work, the blacksmiths had lit up their furnaces and began forging.

The entire Blacksmith Guild echoed again with the bustling noise of smithing.

When the blacksmiths saw Ivita, they all greeted him.

Ivita’s performance in the town hall on that day had impress them all.

After Ivita and the Old Witch entered a room, Lady Alice welcomed them first, saying to Ivita, "Last night, almost all the Blacksmith Guild’s masters, helpers, and apprentices, were discussing your bravery and wisdom at the Town Hall."

"If it weren’t for the fact that you’re not a native of Parviga, you could easily become the mayor."

"Once you become mayor, if you want to be the king of Parviga, I’m sure these hardy blacksmiths will willingly go along with it."

Seeing the astonished look on Ivita, Lady Alice continued while inviting him to sit, "As you know, these craftsmen, along with other small vendors and farmers are easily impressed with a person of excellence."

"Noble upbringing, powerful prowess, rescuing them, speaking up for them, when all these qualities gather in a person, they will worship that person for no reason, even treat them as divine."

Lady Alice said, "I heard it from Florcana’s merchant in the south, it is just for this reason that Florcana believes that the virtue of Republic is mediocrity, and excellent people will make common people worship them extremely, eventually leading to the breakdown of the Republican spirit."

"At first, I didn’t believe it."

"But now, it seems there is no mistake."

Ivita lightened up and joked, "As I am not from Parviga, the situation you described will never occurred."

"On the contrary, it’s your reputation that saw a huge raise."

The two looked at each other, tacitly ending the conversation there.

There is always a point when some things should be stopped.

Lady Alice was the largest beneficiary of this political change, her reputation had practically surpassed everyone else in the city.

As Ivita was invited by her, the higher Ivita’s reputation was, the higher her reputation would be.

For a long period of time, Lady Alice’s position in Parviga’s political circle was tied with Ivita.

Lady Alice revealed a slight smile. "After this incident, the present mayor had thoughts of resigning."

"Congratulations", Ivita, although he did not know exactly what had happened, there might have been complex exchanges of interest behind it. Anyway, Lady Alice might soon be the mayor of Parviga.

But this could be considered as good news.

Lady Alice was a decent business partner.

The more stable her position in Parviga, the better she could protect his business with Parviga.

There were more people in the room, and Lady Alice wanted to introduce them to Ivita.

Ivita guessed that those people must be Guild Leaders of the Blacksmith Guild, so he preempted her and said, "Lady Alice, Mayor had granted me the status of honorary citizen the other day."

"So, I wanted to ask you a favor."

Astonished, Alice turned back, "Dear Ivita, just call me Alice."

"Is there anything I can help you with? Please, feel free to ask."

Ivita cleared his throat. "I’ve heard that an honorary citizen of Parviga can join any guild within the City."

"I wonder if I could join your guild and become your Guild Leader."

The four middle-aged men behind Lady Alice, upon hearing Ivita’s words, immediately began whispering and arguing amongst themselves.

Lady Alice was taken aback.

As a businesswoman, she has a keen business sense and she instantly grasped Ivita’s intention.
