I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 201: 195 Kuka City

Chapter 201: Chapter 195 Kuka City

Lukar, upon hearing this, did not calm down; instead, he grew even more agitated.

This is an opportunity!

It is a chance for the rise of the Dillon Kingdom!

There indeed seems to be a problem with the Church of the Gods!

They must have decided to abandon diation between the countries and are now just watching as the war unfolds.

Realizing this, Lukar could hardly contain himself and turned to his newly appointed minister, Anna, and said:

...

“First, continue to observe the attitudes of the Church of the Gods, especially those of our dostics. Find a ti to test them.”

“Second, hurry to investigate whether the Feis Kingdom really has declared war on the Boditch Kingdom and what the latest war situation is.”

“Third, send soone to investigate the situation in the northern part of the Feis Kingdom, including the movents of the nobles and the status of the armies, and gather as much detailed information as possible; this is very important.”

“Fourth, start collecting all sorts of supplies for warfare preparation now, regardless of the cost.”

“Fifth, find an excuse to stop the export of ores and weapons equipnt. Make it quick.”

…

King Lukar spoke quickly; his mind was very active. This was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity, and he would regret it for the rest of his life if he did not seize it.

However, since Anna was appointed as a close minister, he naturally had his exceptional qualities, and he took all of Lukar’s commands to heart.

“Hurry and arrange these matters, then gather all the ministers here. I need to hear their opinions.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Anna nodded in agreent and then hurried off to implent His Majesty the King’s orders.

Lukar walked in front of the window, looking out at the October scenery. Although it was still autumn, a bleak cold wind had already begun to blow, and most of the leaves had fallen from the trees.

Bits of white began to drift down from the sky, and Lukar caught a few pieces in his palm.

Watching the white snowflakes lt into transparency in his palm, Lukar clenched his fist tightly, as if trying to grasp sothing.

“Father, watch over !”

Lukar looked toward the gray sky and murmured softly:

“I will fulfill your last wish!”

…

anwhile, many human kingdoms on the Fanor Continent had received the news that the Feis Kingdom had declared war on the Boditch Kingdom, yet the frictions among many nations had all co to a halt.

It seed that everyone was watching the progression of the war between the Feis Kingdom and the Boditch Kingdom, waiting for this overture to conclude.

It was as eerily quiet as the sea before a storm.

—————–

The war involving the Feis Kingdom was currently unrelated to Lis, whose rchant caravan remained in the tranquil daily order of the Northern Territory as the news of the war had not yet spread there.

Today, the Feis rchant caravan arrived at Kuka City in the Northern Kingdom, the territory of Viscount Kuka, marking the official departure of the caravan from the heartlands of the kingdom into the northern lands of the kingdom.

After settling into their usual lodging at the inn, Lis waved goodbye to Fink and the others, quickly got ready, and then left.

Today, his destination was the rcenary Tavern of Kuka City.

This was also Lis’s first ti entering a city since he started his travels.

After all, the caravan had been delayed for a while and needed to hurry, especially since the winter in the Northern Territory could be quite troubleso.

Moreover, the goods carried by the caravan wouldn’t fetch much of a price in the heartland of the kingdom, so it was better not to waste ti there and head directly to the Northern Territory.

Now, the caravan was making a brief stop in Kuka City, resting for two days and resupplying before they would continue their journey northward.

However, Lis didn’t need to bother himself with these mundane tasks of the caravan, as he had so matters he wanted to attend to.

He was going to recruit players!

After entering the “Divine Revelation” ga, players couldn’t choose their birthplace; they were randomly born within a human kingdom on the Fanor continent, with other regions not yet open for exploration.

The more prosperous the area, the more players were born there, but that didn’t an other areas had no players.

Being born in a human city was still manageable, but being born in a small village was rather unlucky.

For players born in remote places, any opportunity to gather in the central cities of their regions was welcod.

It was relatively easy for them, but crossing regions to reach the capital, Bright City, was quite difficult.

Kuka City was one of such gathering places for the players in this region, and Lis went to check out the rcenary Tavern at the players’ quarters to see if there was any unexpected gain.

The rcenary Tavern in Kuka City was similar to the one in Bright City, housed in the sa building as the rcenary Guild.

But after all, it was just an ordinary city outpost in the Northern Territory, and here the rcenary Guild was only a small two-story building.

The black walls and the notably smaller windows already bore so marks of Northern architecture. Here, the rcenaries preferred spending their idle ti drinking in the tavern, especially since the winters were colder and strong liquor was a necessity for them.

Lis pushed open the sturdy wooden door and entered the rcenary Tavern.

The warm air and the noisy voices hit him as he entered, and a large fireplace along the wall was already lit with orange-red firewood.

Lis had visited the rcenary Guild in Kuka City once in his past life and had so recollection of it.

Unlike the rcenary Guild in Bright City, the entire first floor here was a tavern, with many rcenaries sitting around small round tables, enjoying beer and food, while the second floor was where they accepted commissions.

Squeezing through the rcenaries, Lis made his way to the tavern’s bar.

Just now, Lis had already noticed players among the patrons in the tavern.

It had to be said, if it weren’t for their displayed nas and noticeably younger faces, Lis couldn’t tell them apart from the old rcenaries, as they were dressed like old rcenaries and rowdily challenging each other in drinking competitions.

Apart from a few players with unique tastes, most players were relatively young and handso.

Oh?

Except for the one who got drunk, climbed onto the stage, and started a striptease act—that was simply eye-watering.

Even Lis, with his battle-hardened eyes, nearly couldn’t bear it; this scene would have been quite explosive even in his previous life.

However, the rcenaries around seed to be drunk too, gathered around that player and loudly cheering on, a case of like attracts like?

“A beer for , please,”

Lis said to the servant standing behind the bar.

“Right away, please wait a mont.”

The middle-aged man dressed as a servant said with a smile, and soon he handed Lis a wooden cup filled with deep yellow liquor.

Lis took the beer, sipped it lightly, and asked the servant while sitting at the bar:

“Has anything novel happened in the city recently?”

With the start of the 1.0 plot, the Feis Kingdom had also gradually begun to destabilize.

During his travels, Lis was keeping an eye on gathering intelligence; although he knew about major future events, he wasn’t clear about the side plots of various regions.

It would be good to gather any useful intelligence.
