His smile grew wider and wider until the door was opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white streak came from within the sacred hall. Asher squatted, allowing it to hit his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With smiles, he ran his fingers through the creature's white fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How have you been?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The response he got from Sirius made him chuckle. In this size, Sirius looked like the pup he was when he was chosen as Asher's pet beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has there been any disturbance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some. Sirius took care of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher rubbed Sirius's head. \"You've been doing your job quite well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He has. He protected Nimrim, Nineveh, and Silverleaf in your absence. Every stray beast has been slain before anyone could sight them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher lifted up his right eyebrow. \"Then how did you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While he does kill the beasts, he leaves their corpses and the surroundings stained with blood. We have to clean up the mess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelvin smiled wryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher suddenly got to his feet. \"So... You mentioned something about a graveyard below the Ashbourne graveyard. Is that true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed. It's a tomb for the butlers who served the house loyally. They're called Salvatores.\" \"Salvatore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher sat on his throne. His eyes flickered as he searched his memory, trying to figure out if he knew about it from his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he discovered he had never heard of the Salvatores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why haven't we seen a record of them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is. It's right next to the Ashbourne records. It's called the Salva records.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kelvin coughed. \"I found it yesterday, my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind. At least seeing how vibrant you are, you'll surely live longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelvin's lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I forgot to send a letter, but I need recruitment posters all over Nineveh, Goshen, and Ashkelon. We need recruits for the Frontline Legion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll do that immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a week, 8,000 willing recruits joined the army. Since the barrack was in Ashkelon, all of them were sent there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5,000 joined the Frontline Light Infantry, and 3,000 became Bladebreaker cavaliers, finally boosting the heavy cavalry to a staggering number of 4,000 strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period of time, Asher was busy with paperwork and meeting high-class people in his domain. As his domain increased, classes of people were slowly forming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman who once stood in the farms with coarse clothing was now garbed in a luxurious silk garment, and her skin glistened like that of a youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was amongst the highest class of civilians as she was the head of the agricultural department of the dominion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that her daughter was the lord's personal maid and also the female version of Butler Kelvin made others revere her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there was a probability that Cynthia would bear one of the lord's sons, legitimately or illegitimately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this week, Asher got to know about the progress of the Evergreen olive oil and Westfall Restaurant. These two were magnets for gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it was high time Goshen was called the city of wealth, luxury, and gold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The treasury had millions of gold coins, waiting for the new year's projects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a count, he was truly wealthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, during this same week, Sapphira fully recovered but refused to leave her temple; neither was anyone allowed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tapk! Tapk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two men were walking in the hallway of the grand castle. It was Asher and Kelvin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Candles lit up the hall as it was already late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, won't you visit the grand priestess? The people are concerned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head toward Kelvin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many want to see her, and her temple is one of the most visited places in the domain. Since it's on lockdown, the people are not able to see her; even most of the priests and the priestesses are not available.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher's eyes flickered. \"Kelvin, send a report... The Olive Expanse is on lockdown. Those who are not natives should leave in the next three days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelvin's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make sure everyone knows of her deeds in battle. I can't force her to come out because of some people who are there for their gains. I've also given Nero leave. Those that faced death would have to choose to return; I won't force them. Enforce my orders and make sure the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>people know the reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelvin sighed. \"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hours later, when the night was deep and the streets silent as a graveyard and the cold wind of the northern mountains blew, causing people to wrap themselves with fur quilts, footsteps\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rang in a silent hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock! Knock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of golden eyes snapped open upon hearing the knocks on his door. His eyes first went to Euodia's before veering back to the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left the bed, calmly walked to the door, and swung it open. Standing outside the door was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelvin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have a problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher, along with 50 King Swordsmen, rode through the snowy plains. Asher could remember\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>something similar a year ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They kept riding until they arrived at a plain close to the Ash Mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My god. What happened here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex exclaimed as he gazed at the corpses of Abyss creatures. Hundreds of them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them were slaughtered by an unknown creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What could have done this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A King Swordsman gasped as he placed his on his sword's handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them followed their lord into the bloodstained scene. Ahead of them stood Asher,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>looking at the corpse of an Abyss worshiper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sunk into the ground. It was almost as if a mighty hammer slammed him into the ground,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>breaking his bones in the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asher squatted, examining the scene from a closer view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What killed them was a beast... a large beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-06-06T11:24:07.077Z",1,"novelbin.me","0a3b7e9b0cb9ee56fcb2b2c329c700a03217aeb36c1ee9b4abe76f5be0332fdd","reincarnated-lord-i-can-upgrade-everything-chapter-217","reincarnated-lord-i-can-upgrade-everything-chapter-215",536,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-lord-i-can-upgrade-everything-cover.jpg"]
