Chapter 272: Lord Era! Marriage Alliance Negotiated!
Dawnlight Town.
In the central position.
Inside the Intermediate Magic Tower.
Li Yue, Princess Er Sha, Princess Doris, General Gable, and the Royal Chief Mage Ellen.
The four took their seats as host and guest.
The interior of the Intermediate Magic Tower was naturally far superior to that of the Basic Magic Tower.
Some of the decorations possessed high artistic value.
Tables, chairs, potted plants, murals, wall cabinets, and so on.
All were crafted from precious magical materials, causing Princess Er Sha and the others to remain silent.
As high echelons of a kingdom.
They were well-traveled and had visited many magic towers.
But they had never seen one.
Any magic tower as luxurious as the one before their eyes.
Short-range teleportation arrays were present everywhere.
Every single item was made from magical materials.
The walls were also covered with numerous array patterns; clearly, this magic tower possessed astonishing various effects. "Lord Chenxi, your magic tower, '577', truly opens my eyes," sighed Ellen, the Royal Chief Mage of the Kingdom of Xine.
As a Diamond-rank mage and the Royal Chief Mage.
He held a very high status in the Kingdom of Xine.
Naturally, he possessed his own magic tower. But he felt that—his magic tower, compared to the one before their eyes, simply had too great a gap.
Short-range teleportation arrays.
In his magic tower, they existed only at the stairwell entrances of each floor.
Arranging short-range teleportation arrays everywhere was far too luxurious; he had never even imagined—there could be a magic tower arranged this way!
How many magical materials would it take to arrange short-range teleportation arrays everywhere throughout an entire magic tower?" Mage Ellen, you flatter me," Li Yue smiled.
He felt somewhat surprised in his heart. Who would have thought—a mere Intermediate Magic Tower would bring such shock to the people of the Kingdom of Xine?
Fortunately, he had not built a High-rank Magic Tower back then. If it were a High-rank Magic Tower—perhaps the few people before him would have been so shocked they could not speak. Or even—might have triggered the Kingdom of Xine's greed entirely, choosing to start a war directly. "The wealth of Lord Chenxi's domain also opens my eyes," Princess Er Sha said, her beautiful eyes fixed on Li Yue.
She was now quite curious about this Lord Chenxi.
According to the intelligence she had obtained. These domains—were not creatures of this world at all!
They had appeared in their world twelve days ago.
But in just twelve days.
Had this domain before them reached such a terrifying degree? Or did the other party bring a large number of powerful combat forces and resources from their own world?
Yesterday.
Their Kingdom of Xine had already officially controlled sixteen domains.
Whether it was her or her father, King Gales, they both felt that these magical domains were definitely the trend of the future!
Their Kingdom of Xine must place a large part of its focus on managing domains.
Of course.
Although they could control domains and become lords.
They could not see the World Channel, nor could they open the Trading Interface.
Lords also could not bind themselves completely to their domains to gain the benefit of improving their cultivation upon domain promotion.
These were the three differences between them and legitimate lords like Li Yue.
But even so.
Er Sha, who had just taken control of a domain yesterday, was extremely shocked.
Merely the ability to summon strange troop types from troop camps made her tremble with astonishment.
Without the Trading Interface.
It was undoubtedly much more difficult for them to obtain energy compared to legitimate lords. After all—except for the Trading Interface allowing energy trading.
There was no second method to trade energy.
At ordinary times, they could not even sense it, let alone trade it?
So they, who were not legitimate lords, could only obtain energy by killing monsters and opening treasure chests.
This was also the part that made Er Sha feel the most regrettable. Otherwise—with the foundation of their Kingdom of Xine.
They would be able to sell a large amount of resources in the shortest time to exchange for countless energy to develop their domains!
At the same time.
She also learned that the Dawnlight Domain before them was the strongest domain, ranked first among all domains!
This also made her breathe a sigh of relief.
The power of the Dawnlight Domain had once made them extremely wary of the other domains.
But upon discovering the other party was the First Domain, this wariness decreased considerably. After all—
The First Domain only possessed Diamond-rank experts, which was still inferior to their Kingdom of Xine.
It was not enough to fear.
Plus, their Kingdom of Xine had also begun to vigorously develop domains, so naturally, there was even less need to fear.
Even if they could only obtain energy by killing monsters and opening treasure chests.
A kingdom operating at full capacity would develop at a speed that absolutely surpassed most domains! "The power of the Kingdom of Xine also makes me admire," Li Yue smiled.
It is just mutual flattery, isn't it?
Simple!
The two exchanged more mutual flattery for quite some time...
Only then did Princess Er Sha sober her expression and begin to speak of serious matters: "Lord Chenxi, the Kingdom of Xine intends to marry into your family, forge an alliance, and look forward to mutual assistance in the coming Era of Lords. What is Lord Chenxi's opinion on this?" "The Era of Lords..."
Li Yue glanced at Princess Er Sha.
He was slightly surprised that the other party referred to the future as the 'Era of Lords'.
However, he also understood clearly.
The Kingdom of Xine must have already breached numerous territories and captured many Lords.
They must have already obtained vast amounts of data regarding territories. They might even have replaced them one by one, with many royal family members becoming Lords of their own regions!
It was just that he was not yet clear.
What difference there was between these native beings becoming Lords and themselves, these Lords. "To marry into the family of Her Highness Princess Er Sha, I naturally have no objection." He said with a smile.
As soon as this sentence was spoken.
Whether it was Princess Doris, or General Gaber, or Mage Ellen, all wore strange expressions. "Ahem, ahem."
Princess Er Sha quickly coughed, a vein throbbing on her forehead: "The Lingzhuwu Society misunderstood. The marriage partner is my younger sister, Doris."
"Then that is truly a pity. As for Princess Er Sha, I admire her greatly." "However, Princess Doris is lively and cute, so naturally I like her very much too." Li Yue smiled, with not a trace of embarrassment on his face.
He naturally knew who the marriage partner was.
In the two meetings with Er Sha, the other party had been the dominant one, with a status even above Diamond-level experts.
It was evident that this Eldest Princess held an extremely high status and would not possibly send 4.0 out to marry. Saying this was merely a tease.
Who else was to blame if the other party came and created such a grand spectacle?
If he had not prepared himself in advance, he would have been embarrassed.
"Since the Lord has agreed to this matter, let it be settled thus."
"As for the specific wedding date, I will leave Mage Ellen behind to negotiate with your side." Er Sha said.
To marry into the First Lord, the Kingdom of Xine would not lose out. "Agreed."
Li Yue nodded; he had no objection to this.
It was just a marriage alliance; a great man loses nothing, so what is there to fear? He looked at Princess Er Sha: "Since our two sides have formed an alliance, my Chenxi Territory wishes to purchase a batch of grain from the Kingdom of Xine."
