Chapter 1004 - 597: Elder Bao Ascends Gold Coin (6k!)_3
The Feis Kingdom being able to stabilize the domestic situation is already very good.
"Lis, you’re so strong!"
Taya looked at Lis with bright eyes, not expecting that Lis not only broke through to Legend but also defeated a Legendary Strongman.
As expected of Lis, truly impressive!
Morton looked at Taya like this and shook his head helplessly.
He explained to Taya in vain; this child was smart but simply not interested in the kingdom’s matters.
Luckily, he prepared a lot, and with Lis helping her, there shouldn’t be any problem.
"Lis, you came to see me today; you must have other things as well?"
Morton looked at Lis and asked with a smile.
"Indeed, there is something."
Lis nodded, his expression slightly serious, and said:
"I recently need a batch of Extraordinary Resources, like Magic Metal, so I came to ask the kingdom for help."
"Well, of course, no problem..."
Morton was about to agree when he suddenly remembered something and stopped.
As a Legendary Strongman, Lis needing Extraordinary Resources and specifically coming to the kingdom for help.
Morton was very clear that Lis had the support of the Elf Kingdom and established the Extraordinary Organization [Nature’s Wrath].
If it were general resources, Lis wouldn’t have any pressure at all, and he wouldn’t need to come to Bright City to find him.
Could it be...
Morton asked cautiously:
"Lis, how much do you specifically need?"
"Just this amount."
Lis took out a prepared envelope from the storage ring and handed it to Taya.
Taya took it and, without even looking, placed it directly on the table in front of Morton.
As Morton picked it up, feeling the thickness of the envelope, he had a bad feeling.
When he opened the envelope, the long paper directly unfolded from Morton’s hand, dropping to the ground.
"This..."
Morton’s expression stiffened a bit, looking at the envelope in disbelief.
"These are the resources Lis needs, isn’t this a bit too exaggerated..."
Morton didn’t even continue reading, he just glanced at the quantity of Mithril and Refined Gold at the top of the paper and immediately felt his heart wasn’t doing well.
This dowry for marrying a daughter is too exaggerated, even emptying the Royal Palace’s treasure trove is far off!
"Indeed, Your Majesty."
Lis said with a smile:
"These are the resources I need now, of course I wouldn’t expect the kingdom to provide all of it, just hoping for some support."
What Lis handed to Morton was the extraordinary resources needed to repair the Floating City, indeed a staggering astronomical figure.
Taya noticed Morton’s somewhat strange expression, curiously moved to Morton’s side, and looked at the resource demands recorded on the paper, instantly widening her gray-purple eyes.
"Lis, isn’t this too much?"
"What are you planning to do?"
Taya raised her head, looking at Lis with surprise.
"Controlled a Floating City, though some places need refurbishment and construction, these are the extraordinary materials needed."
"A Floating City!!!"
Both Morton and Taya were shocked, even somewhat horrified, looking at Lis.
Floating City, it’s a magic creation that only appears in epic stories, although not many have seen a Floating City, its powerful and invincible impression remains deeply in everyone’s mind.
"Lis, you acquired a Floating City?"
"Can I go play?"
Taya came to Lis’s side and grabbed his arm, shaking as she asked.
"No problem."
Lis nodded without hesitation.
Informing the two about this was also part of his plan, originally this news couldn’t be hidden for long, he would soon make the Floating City rise again, standing in the sky above Danerluo Port.
By then, everyone would know that Lis has control over a Floating City, telling them in advance wouldn’t be an issue.
The old king and Taya were certainly his allies, he might as well take this opportunity to show some strength.
"This was originally discovered by an ancestor of the Kane family a century ago, but it wasn’t until now that I’ve successfully gained control over it."
Lis didn’t hide it, but spoke with a smile.
Morton’s eyes gleamed with insight, instantly understanding something.
After Lis’s rise, especially upon learning that Lis’s elder Joyce was a Legendary Assassin, Morton started focusing on the Kane family where Lis belonged.
He didn’t arrange for anyone to investigate Lis but rather retrieved earlier kingdom records to look over the Kane family’s history.
Back then, Morton noticed some anomalies, from multiple records it was evident that the two previous family heads of the Kane family had rather unusual strength.
But strangely, the family’s presence was quite low, neither befriending other Nobles to expand their influence nor attempting to earn Royal Palace merit to advance their rank, instead showing a kind of satisfaction with their own nobility.
Now it seems, the Kane family’s ambition was never within the Feis Kingdom but was focused on that Floating City.
No wonder a Legendary Assassin emerged from the family!
After Lis broke through to Legend, he could finally control that Floating City and fulfill the Kane family’s long-standing aim.
Therefore, Lis wasn’t hiding this information.
Conveying this crucial message to him was also Lis’s way of showing goodwill to the kingdom.
Given this, Morton couldn’t remain silent.
Looking at the paper in his hand, despite the great pressure, Morton still said:
"Lis, the Feis Kingdom will try its best to support you, including various extraordinary materials."
"Additionally, every year the kingdom will offer devotion to you as per the standard of the Legendary Crown, just like your teacher."
Morton said with a smile, regarding the annual supply of extraordinary materials to Lis as per the [Judgement Flame] standard, he had no psychological burden whatsoever.
