Before the war, Caesar had undergone only six sessions to modify his foundation to be patible with new parts of the death law that was added to his heavenly law cultivation technique, and according to Rubin's initial estimates, he would need 14 additional sessions.
And if he managed to press a few sessions of them to be every 3 weeks instead of every month, this means that he would need a year to plete the adjustments to the entirety of Caesar's foundations
And now, in the same year, he has to collect nearly 30 million gold coins worth of resources and energy stones…
That is a lot!!
Only a Royal Family with thousands of years of accumulation could confidently say that they can spend this much money within one year, yet even they would definitely not use this much gold if not to stop some kingdom's crippling issue!
That night, after reading all the manuscripts and engraving them into his soul, Robin spent a few more hours sitting still with his eyes closed, trying to think of ways to raise that money, and most importantly, thinking of a way to collect all those resources.
Profits from selling talismans and classified weapons? ...no, impossible.
If he wanted to rely on these two, he would have to wait for at least five years, and during those five years he must allocate every single copper coin of the profit to purchasing the needed materials
And that's impossible for a growing family as the Burtons!
The family needs huge expenses in the ing period to consolidate its new borders, build new citadels and forts, mobilize and equip new armies, and establish more projects and factories in the new lands.
Relying on these two branches, which are the main source of ine for the family, means that he will need to wait about 15 years for the profits to accumulate in the treasury... and this of course will not work for him.
He already postponed his mission for nearly 4 years now, if he waited much more to go on such a mission, then he better not go at all!
After staying still and squishing his thoughts so much that he started to get headaches, he inserted his soul sense into his ring and sent, "Sage Albert, are you there? I need you for something important.."
After about five minutes the reply finally came, "Oh, Robin? Wele, I salute his magnificent the Burton Duke, or may I call you *Your Excellency* now like the rest of your family does?"
"Please don't make fun of me, Your Highness, how can this little boy earn any title out of your mouth? Simply calling me Robin is honor enough," Robin quickly replied.
"Oh? Your social skills have improved a lot, good, then tell me what's important you need me for.."
Robin paused for a few seconds and then sighed and replied, "Sigh~ Honestly, there's a big problem that I have faced and I can't find a solution except to ask you for a solution."
"Oh? And what could be this thing that troubles even our genius boy?" The Sage spoke earnestly
"Money... I want to ask you for money, lots of it..."
"Money? Hahaha," the sage burst out laughing, "I would be lying if I said that the royal family earns more per month than you do now, our treasury has only recently started to recover after the taxes you send us! You know how to joke, boy, no no honestly, what do you want? "
"Your Highness… I wasn't kidding, I know how precious your lordship's time is… I want 30 million gold coins within a year."
