Chapter 1544: Time to Meet
Chapter 1544: Time to Meet
After giving the mission to the Shadow Guards, Flora immediately returned home.
There were a lot of considerations before, but she believed Nathan would keep this secret just fine. She believed he needed to learn about their existence, considering he might have to help her with the reward.
“I see.” Nathan crossed his arms. There was no one else around, so this information was known only by them.
She couldn’t afford to even tell Selena or any other girls. After all, even her father was probably the only one who knew this information.
Letting Nathan know was already stretching the rules.
Nathan closed his eyes for a moment before saying, “I have brought back more than 200 books regarding the techniques. Most of them are quite low, like 12% absorption rate, but they are indeed something that can be taken away entirely.
“As for the medicine, I have a lot of medicine books, but there is no doctor who can make the medicine. Well, if we just follow the recipe, then maybe we can make the easy ones, but there will be another man, Gregory, coming into this continent soon. I plan to let him take in some apprentices to handle the medicine.”
“That’s perfect.” Flora. “There is also one more thing. Is it possible for you to use a contract to turn this into an artifact? Just make sure that it’s linked to the current possessor’s life by any means, and it will lose its power once the possessor passes away. I’m not going to say I will die, but this can be useful for future generations.”
“I can do that. Using blood as a medium or something, but that can wait.”
“That’ll be fine. Thanks.” Flora felt relieved. “I wonder if we should build our own force as well… I mean, our family has grown to the level that no one can underestimate anymore.
“For example, Luna is the strongest of us and most likely the strongest in this kingdom. Evelyn and you are probably at a similar level. There are also Vivian, Selena, and Noelle, who have become world class summoners. The rest of us are at the arcane level but very close to the next level.
“Just this kind of power alone has made us the strongest in the world. No, we might even possess a power rivaling that of a country.
“I’m not planning to establish a country or anything, but it’s probably a good idea to establish a small group of elites to handle all the miscellaneous tasks.”
Nathan closed his eyes for a moment before shrugging. “We can do that later. For now, I don’t plan to establish a force yet. We will be asking the Dragon King to take care of this place for now.”
“I understand your position. It’s only a suggestion.” Flora nodded in understanding. “So, what are we going to do next? I believe we will get enough results next week. Do you want to examine the records personally or…”
“Ask them to send the summary and the records here. I will return the records later, but I want to check them personally.”
“Got it.” Flora raised two fingers. “By the way, there are two things that you might want to know. First, when we become like this, we might end up getting treated the same as Elysion Aquamoon. Too much strength will make them think that we can conquer the world.
“It doesn’t matter whether we want to or not. Just possessing the ability has made them think that way.”
Nathan waved his hand. “About that. I’m planning to get even stronger at a very fast pace. This way, they have no time to even react. That’s why it won’t matter what they do.”
If Nathan grew fast enough, they would end up finding Nathan’s strength too scary by the time they decided to go against him. In the end, they would end up fearing Nathan and not do anything to displease him.
Of course, Nathan didn’t plan to use it as a way to oppress others. He had read enough cultivation stories to make him want to avoid that kind of future.
Flora continued, “The second matter is regarding our home. What are you going to do with it? Open it for everyone, or…”
“This mansion and the entire domain will be under me. I plan to seal off the area around the mountain range for our entire family. But I will still open the city. If there’s any need for us to make contact, it will be through that city. That should be fine, no?”
“Indeed.” She nodded. “Still, we need enough people to take care of the domain.”
“I’ve talked to Selena and Bella about that.”
“I don’t have anything to worry about then.”
“Yeah. For now, just focus on these so-called Shadow Guards. They should be pretty useful to us right now.” Nathan stood up. “I plan to move to the next phase of our plan.”
“The next phase?” Flora tilted her head in confusion.
“I’m going to visit Elysion Aquamoon. I think it’s about time for us to meet.”
“What?” Flora was surprised, but she soon looked down, falling into deep thought. It was true that Elysion Aquamoon had been quite mysterious.
Despite being the strongest, he remained in the north because he was exiled due to his overwhelming strength.
No one knew his current exact strength because there was no summoner who challenged him that was still alive.
“Are you going to challenge him?” Flora was worried that Nathan would suffer a loss if they were to fight.
Nathan shook his head. “No. I’m probably going to ask Luna and Evelyn to accompany me there. I just want to talk, but I still need to ensure my safety.”
“I see.” Flora felt a bit relieved. Since they had defeated the strongest person on another continent, they should be able to fight Elysion. “Well, don’t you think this is also an opportunity to ask him how he lives? After all, we might end up experiencing a life like his.”
“Well…” Nathan chuckled. “I might ask him that question. Well, since you’re back now, I should also get going.”
