Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 447: Second Aunt's Path as a Master Mage

Outside the Blazing Main City, on the massive empty clearing between the Divine Temple and the Mage Tower, a random Anywhere Door suddenly appeared. Second Aunt, who was busy inside the Mage Tower, immediately perceived it and connected to the Anywhere Door's signal. In the next moment, she rushed out in wild joy, and then saw a group of unkempt and grimy old beggars, young beggars, male beggars, and female beggars surging out in droves.

And at the very back of these beggars was Li Wei, similarly wearing casual clothes, but casual clothes that were just like beggar clothes.

"Little Wei! Little Wei!"

Second Aunt was so happy she hopped continuously, rapidly running over. Li Wei also took large strides to meet her. This departure of his had been nearly a year's time. Sigh, Second Aunt seemed to have gotten a few years younger again!

After giving a large hug, before Li Wei even opened his mouth, Second Aunt's words already sprayed over like a machine gun: "Little Wei ah, you nearly scared us to death! A few days ago, His Majesty the King had a Royal Decree transmitted down, ordering all Class Holders to end their missions and return to their territories to stand by. Xiao Yue, Xuanxuan, Thomas and the others all returned from Thorns Pass; only you had no news. You probably don't know yet, right? His Majesty the King claimed that he is a descendant of the Orson Empire! He will follow his ancestors' footsteps and reconstruct the Orson Empire! Right now, the entire kingdom is frantically preparing for war!"

"Aiyo-yo, Hathaway was so anxious she kept shedding tears. Thank goodness you've returned. You also don't want her to be a widow at such a young age, right? Aiyo, where did you scrape together all this little rubbish? However, their momentum is quite sufficient! Alright, I'll go send a letter to Hathaway right now. You busy yourself with your things..."

After saying a large pile of words, Second Aunt turned around and left bustling with activity. Only then did Li Wei have the time to look towards the others.

At this moment, those three hundred Royal Guards of his didn't have any panic. Or even if they were very panicked in their hearts, they could instinctively form up and stand, protecting the old and weak in the center. Standing behind him, looking like they were ready to launch an attack at any time. Not bad, not bad.

"Everyone, no need to panic, and no need to worry about anything. This is my territory, Blazing Fief. In the future, this will also be the hometown where you live and reside. Now, everyone dismiss. Next, there will be someone to arrange your residential places. Hm, just live in... the Southern Fortress. There happen to be sixty vacant houses there."

Li Wei's heart stirred, feeling that it would be better for him to arrange this matter personally.Because at this time, the Blazing Fief's Prestige system had already automatically connected with his return. But for some reason, it couldn't fuse with that Prestige Stone. So this matter needed to be cautious.

At this time, he was like holding two mobile phones, not delaying him in the slightest from understanding the changes in the Blazing Fief over the past year.

Speaking of which, the changes were quite significant.

Nowadays, the Commoners of the Blazing Fief were no longer that afraid of the outside world. So they were all enthusiastic about pioneering and occupying owner-less land, and then fencing off a piece of land to construct their own family's fortress. This was simply a trend; it was very blindly followed.

Three years ago, it was still crowded with people in the Blazing Main City, and everyone had to worry about housing. Nowadays, aside from various departments, various working groups and their family members, plus the family members of the Blazing Legion Soldiers, there were almost no other Commoners in the primary city.

The population of the entire Blazing Fief plus Hathaway's barony, counting the Mercenaries who naturalized subsequently, totaled less than seven thousand. As a result, they scattered like stars all over the sky.

Because the outside was truly safe now. Perhaps occasionally one could still see that kind of One-Star Mutated Creature, but Two-Star had all gone extinct, degenerated.

The Chaotic Magic Particles on this planet completely plummeted to 0. Currently, only the Blazing Main City still had abundant magic reserves.

Under these circumstances, many newly built fortress villages had no one living in them.

Next, Li Wei personally led the people to the Southern Fortress. Here, even the Southern Fortress was sitting idle. There was no danger, and it was covered by the Mage Tower; it fundamentally didn't need guarding.

Li Wei sighed deeply in his heart, but rapidly took family as a unit, distributing one residence to each family. They were all the kind with two rooms + a small courtyard. Square and upright, neither too big nor too small, very livable.

And in the process of arranging residences for them, Li Wei also tried once more to fuse the Prestige Stone into the Prestige Card system. The result: absolutely impossible.

Then forget it, Li Wei didn't force it either. He just had Nelson send over ordinary food sufficient for six months of consumption. Concurrently, he issued three sets of everyday clothes per person: one set for summer, one set for winter, and one set for spring/autumn.

Various daily living utensils, pots, bowls, ladles, and basins—one set per family.

However, Li Wei rejected the two Internal Affairs management members sent over by Nelson. The Prestige Stone couldn't even fuse into the Prestige Card; the officials sent wouldn't be easy to use either.

"From now on, this place will be called Riverside Village. You are the villagers here, and concurrently responsible for guarding this fortress. Chris, you serve as the Village Chief, responsible for related matters. If there is anything, directly go look for that guy named Nelson. However, you must also not forget: you are concurrently still my Royal Guard! Rest for today and tomorrow to adapt to the environment. Starting from the day after tomorrow, resume normal training!"

After Li Wei personally settled all matters big and small, he returned to the Blazing Main City. Waiting until he bathed, changed clothes, and ate and drank to his fill, Hathaway, Li Yue, and Thomas had already finished handling the matters on hand and hurried over via the Anywhere Door. Following that, Second Aunt and Zhao Xuanxuan also came.

The several major shareholders and Advisors of the Blazing Territory officially gathered together after a gap of two years.

After exchanging greetings, Li Wei then asked: "What do you guys think of this Royal Guard I brought back?"

"Royal Guard? It's better not to randomly say these words. His Majesty the King has a Royal Guard; a Duke is only allowed to have fifty royal guards. Little Wei, it's better for you to change it to personal guards, just call them Viscount's Personal Guard. Otherwise it doesn't conform to regulations and is easily punished!"

Second Aunt solemnly said at this time. She had wanted to say it a long time ago, but these words couldn't be said outside.

Hathaway also immediately continued: "That's right, Li Wei, it indeed is like this. In other kingdoms, it wouldn't matter if you called them Royal Guard. But the Locke Kingdom's Royal Guard has an ancient Legacy. Just like the names of the three provinces. Speaking of it largely, this easily makes His Majesty the King displeased. Speaking of it on a small scale, it's called Monkey in a Crown; you can't suppress it. If we have children in the future, and I name them Li Yuanba, Li Keyong, and Li Cunxiao, presumably you definitely wouldn't be willing either."

"Cough cough!"

Li Wei was almost choked by Hathaway's words. Smiling, he also didn't entangle on this. "Then merge them into the Blazing Legion. We'll talk about the title matter later. Now, talk about your situations. This time, His Majesty the King's 'Reconstruct the Orson Empire' mission will probably be extremely perilous and difficult. Right now there are still six months of time; we must make foolproof preparations. Second Aunt, you speak first!"

At this time, hearing Li Wei inquire like this, everyone couldn't help but sit up straight. Earlier they could talk and laugh, but now it was equivalent to the big boss of the territory inquiring about performance.

To tell the truth, Li Wei treated everyone generously. He gave dividends and various care. Previously, he even spent a huge price to purchase a Six-Star Dimension Ascension Card, exempting them from the qualification to participate in Cross-Border Missions.

Under these circumstances, if everyone was still dawdling around without any progress, that definitely couldn't be justified.

"Little Wei, I... I still haven't been able to advance to Rank 3 Caster. Perhaps me choosing this path back then was a mistake."

Second Aunt lowered her head, very embarrassed. It had been three years! It had been three years since the Pioneering Mission ended. She had taken the best resources and the greatest trust, even having a Mage Tower, yet in the end she still couldn't advance to a Rank 3 Caster.

In the past, she was still unconvinced by Night Owl, but now she was truly convinced. This path of a Spellcaster was truly not something a normal person could play around with! To tell the truth, Chekhov and the other three people were all Second-Tier Casters now. She had nowhere to put this face of hers.

As for Hathaway, although she similarly failed to become a Rank 3 Caster, she completely relied on her own solitary strength to construct a One-Star Mage Tower! This fundamentally couldn't be compared. Moreover, in Hathaway's research and comprehension of Sequence 3 Magic, compared to three years ago, it was a massive improvement! Nowadays, Sequence Two magic was all instant-cast!

The scene was a bit silent. Second Aunt's path as a master mage had always been unbearable. Even Li Yue held her forehead, speechless.

This older sister had always been willful like this. She was clearly doing perfectly fine as a magic potion maker; after suffering a setback, she slapped her thigh and chose another path. This would have been fine; stubbornly crashing headfirst into the south wall wasn't impossible either. Night Owl even gave her all her Magic Notes—you should properly delve into them! No, she then felt that Magic Potions were her true love.

This was also just good luck encountering Li Wei...

"Actually, becoming a Rank 3 Caster is very difficult. Li Wei, you might not know..." Hathaway couldn't help but speak.

"Of course I know. The Alliance of Myriad Heavens Lords itself built its fortune on the Chaotic Magic Origin; Spellcasters are the biological sons, while the other few professional paths were raised by stepmothers. So the advancement of a Spellcaster is inherently very difficult. I'm also not trying to blame Second Aunt, just wanting to understand the specific situation. For example, the preparation of Magic Potions. I feel that Second Aunt can completely walk this path of an Alchemist in the future!"

Li Wei smiled slightly. Of course he wouldn't harshly criticize Second Aunt. Second Aunt's positioning in his team was precisely a home-guarding elder. She didn't need to go to the front lines to fight; doing a bit of Logistics at home was quite good.

Furthermore, the advancement of a Spellcaster was truly different from other Professions. Don't look at how he used seven years of time to break through All-Attribute Level 3 Awakening and personally forge a Dawn Ranger Card; but for a Spellcaster, they would only just be starting out.

This was a major late-game—or at the very least, a mid-to-late-game Profession.

"Don't even think about Alchemist. This is a professional system that only exists over at the Royal Capital. Additionally, it's 'Warlock Master', not Warlock. There is a very huge difference between the two."

Second Aunt gave Li Wei a deflated look, then looked at Li Yue with a guilty conscience, continuing: "Of course, I indeed have thought about when I would continue to class-change to an Alchemist. But it is highly probable to be impossible. I have already invested a full five years into this area of Spellcaster. Little Wei ah, we've also known each other for five years. Rest assured, Second Aunt won't hold you back. From now on, I will honestly guard the house for you and prepare Magic Potions. When I have free time, I'll research Arcane Lore."

"Perhaps I have no way to create a Mage Card after All-Attribute Level 3 Awakening, but creating a Pharmacist Card is still absolutely no problem."

"In the future, when you and Hathaway have children, I'll Enjoy Grandchildren and sit back and enjoy the happiness of family life."
