“Now that you know of my power, would you like to surrender?”
Tarrar sighed and all the runes floating around him dissipated.
“There’s no way I can win. I surrender.”
Aldred laughed. “Alright, I don’t ask for much. Just manage my business and territory within Paphia and Yevileria. In the anti, I will leave the golem army for you. Do whatever you can to obtain the most profit as possible. Of course, do it safely.”
“Those golems can be useful if we rent them as adventures or rcenaries.”
Aldred smiled. “I know you won’t disappoint . I have the sa thought as well. I will make more golems so you can start the business and handle it on your own.”
Tarrar raised an eyebrow. “You’re not staying?”
“The astrolabe has been activated. I need to start my journey again.”
“I see.”
Tarrar laughed inside. This man ca and wreaked havoc on the battlefield and then wanted to leave just like that. Well, that was good for him. No one would micromanage his movent, and he had a golem army under his command..
Of course Tarrar wasn’t stupid. If he did sothing that angered Aldred, the golems under his command would turn against him in a flash.
“I will stay here for a few days so I can set up the golem army, after that I will leave.”
Tarrar nodded, and prepared all the materials Aldred needed. Aldred imdiately went to work and modified the foren golem.
He wanted the foren golems to be able to create all types of golem. Currently, they could only create fighter golems and worker golems.
He experinted for a few hours, and found so success. Aldred put more than 5 mana crystals in each foren golem. This allowed him to put more spell construction within, and after a day or two, his creation ca into being.
The foren golems looked ordinary from outside, but it was now an artisan of golem creation.
It could use earth spell to shape the golems. It could also use other materials to create golems, and could even construct a spell within a mana crystal.
This enabled the foren golems to create the gunner golems and the artillery golems.
But there was a catch. Aldred had to supply the pure mana crystals. That wasn’t a problem for him. With his unlimited mana, he created tens of thousands mana crystals for them to use.
After 4 days, Aldred created 50 foren golems for Tarrar.
That would be enough for now.
“Use these golems to expand the business everywhere,” Aldred said.
“What about politics?” Tarrar asked. “Who will you side with? The winged-n or bugbear?”
Aldred smiled. “You’re my manager now, so you have to think like a businessman. It doesn’t matter which side we pick, what matters is what decision will give us the most profit. This war between the two sides is a good ti to milk their money. Prolong the war and give them our service.”
Tarrar widened his eyes. “So that’s how you want to play this ga. I understand.”
Aldred nodded. “Make sure you protect these 50 foren golem. They are the ones who will make more golems for you.”
“I will do that.”
“Good.” He stepped into the carriage and turned around. “If your performance pleases , I will let you manage my territory in other continents in the future.”
Tarrar was shocked when he heard that. So his ambition wasn’t confined to one or two countries, but the entire continent and even more!
Tarrar felt ashad that he simply wanted to be big enough in 2 or 3 regions. He had to think big and far.
“I also set up a teleportation point in this city.”
Aldred opened up the teleportation portal. This function was given by his divine dinsion. When he reached Gold Rank, the system gave him 3 teleportation points that he could place anywhere.
With this teleportation point, he could go to the designated spot anyti he wanted.
But he put the teleportation point here because he wanted easy access to send supplies of mana crystals when needed. Other than that, he wanted this place to be his golem factory, and so whenever he needed a golem army, he could open up a portal, and bring the golem army whenever he wanted.
“I will send you more mana crystals through this portal if you need more.”
“Thank you, master.”
“No need to call master. Just calling Aldred is fine.”
Aldred entered the carriaged and closed the door.
Mary hugged him as he sat down. “Is it wise trusting that man?”
Aldred shrugged. “If he tries sothing, my golems will kill him. He’s a wise man. He knew the risk and the reward I could give.”
Mareona hugged him from the side.
“What is this? You usually slap . Why the change of heart?”
“I cannot hug you now?”
“Of course you can.”
“Then nothing needs to be said.” She continued to hug him.
Aldred smiled and caressed both of their heads.
“So where are we going now?” Stella asked.
“We’re going back to Chanterre County.”
“Zafrina’s ho?” Stella asked.
“Yes. Since she cannot join us. We have to escort her ho before we begin our journey.”
Stella glanced at Zafrina. “Are you sure you want to stay ho?”
Zafrina sighed. “I cannot leave the estate alone. I have things to take care of.”
“That’s too bad. I started to like you,” Stella said.
“ too.” Zafrina smiled. “I like all of you already. Don’t forget to visit when you have the ti, okay?”
“Should I use my teleportation spell so we can arrive faster?” Stella asked.
“No need,” Aldred said. “I want this journey to be slower than usual.”
Zafrina blushed when she heard that. She wanted to be with Aldred as long as possible as well.
“Co here,” Aldred said.
“Un.” She pounced at him and sat on his lap before wrapping her hands around his neck.
