283: Chapter 283: Preparing to go to the Imperial City 283: Chapter 283: Preparing to go to the Imperial City After arranging for Xu Mo to depart, Zhao Guang had barely spent two days at ho and hadn’t completed his new spell when he received a communication from Yars.
With no other choice, Zhao Guang had to stop once again, reluctantly looking at his research materials.
If it hadn’t been for these interruptions, perhaps he would have completed his new spell by now.
He made his way to where Yars was located, and as usual, how could Zhao Guang co empty-handed?
He still brought a large amount of supplies for trade with Yars.
Of course, most of these were seasonings and beverages, since the war had temporarily ended.
Military supplies couldn’t be sold in large quantities all the ti, the prices were too high, and they couldn’t be used for production.
The most crucial point was, if it wasn’t warti, nobles purchasing large amounts of military supplies would be held accountable.
The Empire was very lenient towards its lords, but there were still so rules to follow.
“The royal rewards have been issued, you need to go to the Imperial City to et the King for your ennoblent ceremony,” Yars said.
It was finally happening.
It seed that the south was essentially stabilized; otherwise, this wouldn’t be happening.
While thinking this, Zhao Guang asked, “What about you?
Are you going too?”
Yars shook his head.
“No, I only indirectly participated this ti, and since my title is already quite high, I didn’t achieve enough rit to be promoted further.”
Before becoming an Earl, promotion could be achieved with sufficient military rits.
After becoming an Earl, the criteria for promotion were not just rits; it involved a lot of special considerations.
And usually, the country wouldn’t give them too many chances to earn the rits necessary for promotion.
Officially, it was to give opportunities for the younger generation to excel, but in reality, it also served to keep them in check.
“Then who else is going this ti?” Zhao Guang didn’t want to travel alone.
He was aware of his own strength; although it was decent, who knew how it compared nationwide?
And even regarding highway robbers, weren’t there especially powerful professionals among them?
Yars, unaware of Zhao Guang’s thoughts, considered Zhao Guang’s strength to be quite good.
With such strength, one would usually not encounter any danger within the country.
Moreover, he was a practitioner of a Defense Type Lifebound Battle Skill, which made it even less likely for him to die.
As a noble awaiting his ceremony, Zhao Guang had the right to mobilize local guards for his protection.
Unfortunately, Zhao Guang was completely unaware of the rights he should have as a noble, nor had he ever thought about learning them.
After all, if it were before, he wouldn’t be able to move his Space Gate and might have refused the ennoblent since he couldn’t leave this place.
The re title was inconsequential compared to his own affairs.
“Ocoro will also be ennobled, bringing his Wild Chicken Team along.
With more people, there will be fewer troubles.”
“The Wild Chicken Team?
Oh, you an the Gorgeous Team.
They do indeed resemble wild chickens,” Zhao Guang gave Yars a thumbs-up.
Great minds think alike, finally soone who shared his sentint.
“That’s the one; although they are a bit odd, their fighting power is not bad.
This ti, most people have already acquired the Breathing Technique, and a few might even manage to cultivate Combat Energy, making them an elite force even within the country.”
All this fuss?
If they hadn’t controlled access to these cultivation thods, there wouldn’t be such a scarcity.
But that was normal; if everyone beca powerful, what if soone rebelled and they couldn’t suppress it?
Even so, noble families often had mbers who disappointed; if the commoners beca powerful, how would they command respect?
“Since that’s the case, then I have no issues,” Zhao Guang said.
Thinking it over, Zhao Guang spoke again, “Do you need anything else?
If I leave, how will we continue our trade?” Their trade had always been conducted here.
Yars had clearly considered this issue as well: “Your journey to the Imperial City will take about a month, possibly longer if you slow down, but I suppose you won’t.”
“Because of the Harvest Festival?”
“Yes, the Harvest Festival, the most important festival of the year and a common ti for ennoblent ceremonies.
Missing out on a ceremony during this period might leave a bad impression in so people’s minds.”
Alright, so it had to be within a month.
It seed that was the deal.
“So you prepare a month’s worth of goods for ; the rest can be taken care of after I reach the destination, as soone from the Sibar Family will contact you,” Zhao Guang said, learning Yars’s surna for the first ti.
“The Sibar Family, understood,” Zhao Guang noted.
“Also, the King is very interested in your microscope; he has ordered ten additional units.
As for the telescopes, I need a thousand more, and the dairy cows—the quantity is still too low.”
Dairy cows in this world had indeed beco sowhat enhanced by the stimulation of Magic Elents.
However, this slight enhancent led to a decrease in their reproductive abilities, which was the main issue.
Because of reduced fertility, mass breeding beca much harder, leaving the fastest solution to simply purchase stock from Zhao Guang.
Zhao Guang nodded slightly, then jotted this down in his notebook: “Alright, noted.
If there’s nothing else, then I’ll go prepare.”
“Please do; you’re quite busy now, and there won’t be a banquet today.
Before you leave, I’ll host a farewell feast for you,” Yars said.
Zhao Guang nodded, took his leave from Yars, and didn’t leave right away.
Instead, he went to the surreptitious Ocoro.
The real items he wanted could only be provided by Ocoro for now.
“You know about the trip to the Imperial City, right?” Ocoro whispered.
“I’ve heard, and I don’t have any issues with it.”
“What about your Teleportation Gate?
If you leave, it might attract attention.”
Zhao Guang’s brow furrowed; this was indeed a valid concern: “Don’t worry, I’ve upgraded the permissions before.
I can now carry it with , so no need to fear their investigation.”
Ocoro gave Zhao Guang a aningful look.
He knew that Zhao Guang’s teleportation destinations hadn’t changed recently.
It seed his friend had his secrets as well, and so things were understood without needing to be stated.
“That’s good.
When we leave, you should bring your two slaves with you; it’s not safe to leave them here,” Ocoro suggested.
Zhao Guang understood; after all, the two were slaves, and without their master around, they would indeed be targets, especially given their beauty.
Plus, Xi Fei had Enchantress blood, which made fighting demons politically correct.
