I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 186: 182: The Future of the White Dove Chamber of Co

Chapter 186: Chapter 182: The Future of the White Dove Chamber of Comrce

Of course, Lis rely ntioned the White Dove Chamber of Comrce briefly before laughing and discussing other interesting affairs of Bright City with the three dukes.

Everyone present was clever, and such matters needed only a ntion for mutual understanding to occur.

This was not about playing charades or keeping people guessing.

This was also one way the elite nobles of the kingdom curated their circles of friends.

If one party failed to grasp the aning, the other might have to reconsider their relationship and the extent of their cooperation.

After all, a poor teammate was a disaster in any world.

...

Previously, Lis did not enjoy such social gatherings, having chosen to stay aside and quietly observe the nobles mingling in the ballroom at the Carl family’s party.

Lis did not believe that re acquaintance and conversation could determine anything.

More importantly, it was about personal strength and power!

Unlike before, Lis now completely controlled the initiative of the party, becoming the focal point of everyone present, even the three dukes, who opted for equal interaction.

Wasn’t this much better than wasting ti trying to curry favor?

Of course, even so, Lis began to feel sowhat bored once the novelty wore off.

With this ti, he might as well focus on studying the cute little Magic Elents!

Nevertheless, Lis patiently greeted the other guests.

The party tonight, aside from heralding the arrival of Marquis Kane, was also to cultivate business connections and market opportunities for the White Dove Chamber of Comrce’s civilian enchanted products.

Lis clearly saw Mora engaging animatedly among a group of young nobles, seemingly promoting sothing.

Mora’s eloquence was quite impressive, and curiosity shone in the eyes of the young people gathered around him.

This was exactly what Lis had instructed Mora to do beforehand.

Lis was well aware that it wasn’t easy for a new concept to be accepted by the general public.

The best approach was to start with the upper echelons.

In other words, to first introduce the nobles of Bright City and even the Feis Kingdom to the new concept of Magic Air Conditioning.

And gradually, through promotion, introduce it as a new trend to the lower classes.

After all, even though Lis had slightly inflated the costs, increasing the price of Magic Air Conditioning, it was still affordable for the middle strata of Bright City.

Imagine, if both the greater and lesser nobles began using the air conditioning from the White Dove Chamber of Comrce, would those who esteem themselves as upper-class or who are eager to join the noble ranks remain indifferent?

Lis was capturing this mindset.

Now, he was paving the way for the future of the White Dove Chamber of Comrce under his own na, that of Marquis Kane.

As for whether the lower-class people could afford it?

No, not currently at least.

Lis had not thought about fully deploying self-charging magic rune products just yet.

The White Dove Chamber of Comrce was only a fledgling child, thinking of soaring just yet?

It was too early.

Lis felt that if Mora didn’t make good use of this opportunity, it would be a waste of his efforts.

…

As the party passed its midpoint, the crowd around Lis finally began to disperse and started mingling.

Lis could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and taking a glass of golden champagne, he walked up to the balcony on the second floor of the mansion for a brief rest.

The October night breeze carried a hint of chill, but it was just right for Lis, who loosened his stiff formal collar and enjoyed a mont of leisure.

“You’ve worked hard today!”

A familiar voice called out. Today, Mora indeed appeared to have put in so effort; his black evening suit complented by simple short hair gave him a capable air.

Recently imrsed in Chamber of Comrce work, his complexion had improved — perhaps distancing from female distractions was beneficial?

“You too,”

Lis, leaning on the carved balcony railing, replied with a smile,

“But it seems you rather enjoyed yourself.”

“After all, it’s a rare opportunity, all thanks to our great chairman, Marquis Kane, Lord Lis.”

“Stop it! If you’re really grateful, just put more effort into the Guild,”

Lis lifted his glass and gently clinked it with Mora’s, and they both drank the rich golden champagne.

Setting the empty glass on the railing, Lis said with a smile,

“It seems your older brother is getting anxious too; he even ca to discuss a partnership with earlier.”

“That guy… though he’s clever, his perspective is too narrow.”

Mora nonchalantly said, but the inexplicable look in his eyes was crystal clear to Lis.

“So I’m really curious, your father, Baron Carl is quite an impressive figure, why does he value your older brother so much?”

Mora leaned next to Lis, raised his head to look at the star-filled night sky, and said:

“Who knows? Nobody understands the workings of father’s mind.”

“Enough about , what about you?”

“?”

Lis asked with so curiosity.

“It feels like you’ve changed a lot, almost like you’ve beco a completely different person.”

If it had been Lis who just arrived in this world, he might have been sowhat panicked, but having already anchored and escaped a death destined in his past life, Lis no longer cared about these things and counterasked:

“Aren’t you the sa?”

“Haha, indeed, I never thought I’d be so desperate to accomplish sothing before.”

“Should I congratulate you for finally growing up? Haha!”

Lis unapologetically teased.

“Go to hell!”

Mora retorted with a laugh.

…

“Are you planning to leave Bright City?”

After a mont of silence, Mora suddenly asked.

“Hmm?”

Lis turned his head to look at Mora, wondering how he suddenly beca so perceptive.

“I do have that plan, how did you guess?”

Lis asked, sowhat curiously.

Indeed, he was preparing to leave Bright City since after the Sacrificial Festival assassination case and the Blood Sacrifice Chaos, Bright City was unlikely to have any major events.

Given that it was still just version 1.0, the ga’s plot was not progressing rapidly, and players needed so ti to adapt to this world.

However, Lis could not wait any longer, knowing what kind of troubled tis he would face in the future, and he needed to enhance his strength by any ans possible.

Thus, Lis needed to step out of his comfort zone in Bright City to challenge himself, while also seeking out those treasures hidden in his mories.

“Because you’ve seed a bit anxious these past few days.”

Mora opened his mouth and laughed as he spoke:

“It’s like you’re planning to leave the future of the White Dove Chamber of Comrce in my hands.”

“Well, I do feel most at ease leaving it in your hands!”

Lis raised his hand towards the night sky, as if trying to grasp sothing.

“Instead of staying in Bright City, I need to train and gain greater strength.”

Mora nodded:

“I believe you can do it. Leave the White Dove Chamber of Comrce to ; I won’t let you down.”

“Or should I say, you’ve paved the way so well, if I ss it up, wouldn’t it make look incompetent?”

“Just do your best.”

Lis shook his head, not minding too much.

“Speaking of which, it looks like you’ve had quite the catch today!”

Lis pointed at the pink handkerchief peeking out from Mora’s upper pocket and laughed.

This was a tradition among the noble young ladies of the Feis Kingdom, who would give their handkerchief to a man they had taken a fancy to.

This gesture had also co to signify a willingness to deepen their acquaintance.

Mora’s face turned sowhat pale, but he shook his head.

“It’s not for , how boring.”

“I didn’t expect our charming young bachelor to beco so picky,” Lis said, laughing, but also sensing Mora’s commitnt to austerity for the sake of his career.

Just as Mora turned his head to retort, his eyes suddenly shone with admiration, and he nudged Lis, saying:

“Look who’s talking, this one’s definitely here for you.”
