majesty in that same Courtyard Emperor
Wu tanii smiled and said Merchant iing
you are too courteous you are now our
Empire's right Minister a first grade
official you have performed admirably in
both of these tasks lynf was momentarily
stunned wait your majesty does this mean
that this reward is for both tasks
otherwise how would you jump from third
grade directly to first grade after all
compensating the families of Fallen
Soldiers was a significant task how
could there be no additional rewards
observing ly Fang's expression wuan
chuckled heartily of course I have
already verified that there are 3
million relatives and dependants of the
Fallen Soldiers this is a considerable
number since you have shown Merit in
compensation all 3 million are now
counted as yours ah what do you mean
from today onward the first city under
Heaven and Earth is your private domain
and you may establish an army without
the need to pay taxes hearing the
emperor's words Lyn fo was once again
left dumbfounded this Emperor had truly
lost his senses although the city housed
3 million people they were primarily the
elderly weak and women and children
managing their upkeep would already be a
headache and the idea of forming an army
was Preposterous moreover the first city
under Heaven and Earth was originally
his guilds territory with no ties to the
Empire whatsoever just as Lyn fo was at
a loss for words Wu Yin not far behind
him urged in a hushed voice Merchant
Lord you should hurry and express your
gratitude ly Fong Shrugged helplessly
benefits were better than none thank you
your majesty M off you go Wu yen see the
merchant Lord out yes Father in the Deep
corridors of the palace wuen exclaimed
excitedly
congratulations Merchant Lord no from
today onward you should be called
Minister ly Fong awkwardly smiled
despite the lack of substantial rewards
he felt somewhat disappointed it seemed
woo Yin sensed his thoughts and
astonished asked you can't possibly be
unsatisfied can you ah all blessings
from the emperor what more can I say the
reward is hardly worth as much as
transforming those several hundred
billion in compensation into something
tradable ah you fail to grasp the
significance consider this the first
city will soon be your domain with taxes
flowing into your coffers and the
ability to assemble your own private
Army you shall become a lord of the
Empire this may indeed be advantageous
for the NPCs lyong could only sigh after
all what was the point of waiting for
those children to grow up and form an
army does an army not require funding we
are not Rebels we are cultivators yet
whether there truly is any benefit ly
Fong still needed to explore upon his
return just as he was about to depart
someone approached him unexpectedly upon
seeing the newcomer the third Prince Wu
Yin wore an unpleasant expression the
individual approaching was none other
than the sixth Prince with a beaming
smile the sixth Prince exclaimed right
Chancellor congratulations you're too
courteous six Prince I have heard that
the right chancellor has become a lord
upon our first meeting I perceived the
chancellor to be a person of exceptional
Talent this Prince would not dare to
presume acquaintance yet today if I do
not Forge a connection it may be too
late hence I present you with a generous
gift as he spoke a young unic behind him
presented an exquisitely crafted box
right Chancellor please forgive the
haste of my preparations I hope you will
graciously accept this gift the sixth
Prince wor a face full of flattery ly
Fong however was somewhat perplexed was
this a hidden Quest it did not appear to
be so as the quest system showed no
reaction assuming ly foam was reluctant
to accept the sixth Prince quickly
clarified right Chancellor please do not
misunderstand this is not a bribe merely
