Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill

Chapter 640 - 585: Peculiarity (Part 2)

It could even affect the entire Beixuan Kingdom.

This had to be taken seriously.

Otz and Gu Ze talked for a long time, and Otz finally learned the full story of where they came from.

Otz lowered his head in thought for a moment, then looked up at Gu Ze and asked, "So, what are your plans now?"

"Having so many Professionals gathered in Maple City is a huge destabilizing factor. And as you’ve said, these people survived a Hell-like environment. I’m afraid they might disrupt the normal peace and order of Maple City."

Gu Ze said, "We plan to let the survivors adapt to life here first. After that, where they go is up to them. We won’t restrict them too much."

Otz’s eyes flickered. He said, "If you don’t know what to do with these Professionals, why not hand them over to me?"

Gu Ze shook his head and said, "Not for now."

"Of course, if His Majesty the King can recruit them, I won’t stand in the way."

Being ordered to serve Otz and volunteering to serve him were two different things.

Right now, everyone had just arrived in Maple City, and their nerves were still raw.

If they were forced to join Otz’s army directly, it would likely arouse suspicion and resentment among the survivors, leading to trouble.

But if these people voluntarily chose to serve under Otz, then it would have nothing to do with Gu Ze.

Gu Ze, Gu Sewei, and Li Wei had already discussed this.

They would not restrict the survivors’ freedom to stay or leave.

Gu Sewei had no need for these people to bolster her own prestige.

She no longer wanted to be a person in power. She much preferred to focus wholeheartedly on her Cultivation to improve her strength and catch up to Li Wei.

To her, a faction was more of a burden and a hindrance.

Dealing with the daily affairs of her subordinates would consume a great deal of her time.

That time would be much better spent on her Cultivation.

As for Gu Ze, he had no desire for power.

Otherwise, with his relationship with Gu Sewei, he could easily take command of everyone.

Right now, he just wanted to live a good life in Maple City with his wife and children.

And Li Wei cared even less about such things.

Hearing this, Otz smiled and said, "In that case, that’s wonderful."

"However, what are the Legendary Mage’s thoughts on this?"

He still had some doubts.

After all, even if Gu Ze was Legendary Mage Gu Sewei’s older brother...

...he couldn’t make decisions on her behalf.

CREAK. The door opened.

Gu Sewei walked in and said, "It’s fine. My thoughts are the same as his."

Seeing her, Otz quickly stood up, bowed, and greeted her, "Your Excellency, the Legendary Mage, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I am Otz, the King of the Beixuan Kingdom."

Gu Sewei returned the courtesy and said, "Hello, my name is Gu Sewei."

Gu Ze stood up and offered his seat to Gu Sewei.

Gu Sewei did not sit down.

Rota brought over a new chair from the side and placed it before the two of them.

Gu Sewei looked at Otz and said, "Li Wei told me that King Otz has a way to help us handle the arrangements for the survivors."

Otz was slightly surprised to hear this.

’From Gu Sewei’s tone, it seems her relationship with Li Wei is quite good. It has the feel of two equals.’

Otz smiled and said, "Then I must thank Mage Li Wei for his trust in me. I will be sure to handle things properly."

"My main purpose in coming to the Mage Tower today was to pay a visit to Your Excellency, the Legendary Mage..."

Otz went on with a lot of pleasantries, mainly asking about Gu Sewei’s future plans and whether she was interested in becoming the National Master of the Beixuan Kingdom.

Gu Sewei politely declined Otz’s invitation, stating that she planned to remain in the Mage Tower for secluded Cultivation and had no intention of accepting the position of National Master.

She also made it clear that she did not want to get involved in any of the Beixuan Kingdom’s affairs.

Of course, she also showed some goodwill.

She indicated that if the Beixuan Kingdom were to face a crisis, she could offer appropriate assistance.

Although he failed to invite Gu Sewei to become the National Master of the Beixuan Kingdom...

...Otz was still very happy to have received her promise.

As he was about to leave, Otz announced that in three days, he would prepare a welcoming banquet for everyone from Fred City.

At that time, he would give Gu Sewei a grand welcome.

Otz said, "I hope that Your Excellency, the Legendary Mage, will be able to attend the banquet in three days."

Gu Sewei nodded and said, "If nothing else comes up, I will definitely be there."

Otz said with a smile, "Then I shall look forward to Your Excellency’s presence."

Before leaving, he said, "If you need anything, you can ask me at any time. The Beixuan Kingdom will spare no effort to help solve any problems."

Otz left.

As he walked out of the Mage Tower and passed through the crowd again...

...seeing the Professionals around him, all reeking of hostility, Otz did not feel worried or nervous.

On the contrary, he felt invigorated.

’In the future, these people will all be my most capable generals.’

’Naturally, the fiercer and stronger they are, the better.’

Gu Sewei had already given him permission to freely recruit the surviving Professionals from Fred City.

Otz was confident he could get all of them to join him and become his subordinates.

He scanned the crowd and noticed that there were also Alien Races mixed in.

The Beastman Race, the Dwarf Race, the Goblin Race...

This wasn’t a major issue.

The Beixuan Kingdom once had a Beastman unit.

Otz had experience recruiting Professionals from the Alien Races.

He also held no discriminatory views against any race.

To him, whether they were of the Human Race or an Alien Race, as long as they were loyal to him and served him, they were good subordinates.

After Otz left, he quickly arranged for people to come to the Mage Tower to recruit Professionals.

However, most of the people were unfamiliar with Maple City and were very wary of the outside world.

Even though the terms Otz offered were very generous, it was difficult to recruit any Professionals for the time being.

But he wasn’t in a hurry.

He was sure there would be a world of change after the welcoming banquet in three days.

「In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.」

Gu Sewei had also been confirmed as the acting Tower Master of the Mage Tower.

Seeing this, Luosi and Luo Huafu had nothing to say.

The difference in strength was too great; not a single dissenting thought could even arise in their minds.

Besides, having a Legendary Mage presiding over the Mage Tower was of great benefit to them.

Even the Mage Association sent their congratulations to Gu Sewei for becoming the acting Tower Master.

Furthermore, they stated that with a Legendary Mage presiding over the Maple City Mage Tower, it had a chance to apply to become a High Level Mage Tower.

After becoming a High Level Mage Tower, it would be able to receive more resources from the Mage Association.

Besides having a Legendary Mage, there were many other conditions to become a High Level Mage Tower, the most important of which was the overall strength of the Mage Tower.

The overall strength of the Maple City Mage Tower was too weak; it couldn’t even meet the minimum requirements to apply.

However, after the news of Gu Sewei becoming the acting Tower Master spread like wildfire...

...people began arriving one after another to seek refuge with the Mage Tower.

They hoped to be able to join the Maple City Mage Tower.

The last time such a grand spectacle had occurred was when Otz founded the kingdom.

Gu Sewei looked at Li Wei and asked, "Li Wei, aren’t you going to the banquet? Otz even sent a special invitation for you."

After Otz learned of the relationship between Gu Sewei and Li Wei...

...he didn’t dare to slight Li Wei and quickly had someone deliver an invitation, asking Li Wei to attend the banquet as well.

Li Wei shook his head and said, "You can go. Things seem a little unsettled outside Maple City recently. I’m going to go check it out."

Seeing this, Gu Sewei could only nod and reply, "Alright, then. Be careful."

Li Wei smiled. "What danger could I possibly run into? Don’t worry."

Today, the Mage Tower was much emptier. Barely a soul could be seen in the main courtyard.

The Professionals from Fred City had all been invited to the banquet, for the most part.

It was a banquet the Beixuan Kingdom had prepared especially for them. As the guests of honor, it was only natural for all of them to attend.

Li Wei watched as Gu Sewei left for the Royal Palace to attend the banquet.

Then, he teleported to the location outside Maple City where he had sensed the anomaly.

’Dragon Fall Slope... has something changed in the Secret Realm?’

Li Wei arrived at the source of the anomalous aura.

He found that it was Dragon Fall Slope.

Last night, he had sensed an unusual aura outside Maple City.

He just hadn’t expected the source of the aura to be Dragon Fall Slope.

He consumed some Divine Power to open the Secret Realm Passage to Dragon Fall Slope.

Li Wei stepped into the Dragon Fall Slope Secret Realm and was stunned by the sight within.
