I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 83: 82: Making Money Plan

Chapter 83: Chapter 82: Making Money Plan

Leaving Angela outside to find her own place to sleep, Lis closed the door to the underground laboratory.

The breakthrough from the secret realm of McGwire’s Death Tomb greatly enhanced Lis’s abilities, not only did he advance to Silver Level, but he also gained the assistance of Angela, the Gold Level boss.

This ant that by the ti of the Sacrificial Festival assassination taking place in over a month, Lis was confident he could get through it safely.

With the strength of a Silver Level Arcanist, even if a Golden Assassin struck, it would be impossible to achieve a one-shot kill if Lis was on guard.

Not to ntion, Angela was there!

The biggest dilemma facing Lis right now was poverty!

...

Yes, that’s right. Lis was currently extrely poor.

With all the “foundation” of the Kane family squandered by his predecessor, Lis was in dire need of money.

After all, being a Mage was quite the “money-burner.”

Unlike most other professions that could increase their strength through physical training and honing their skills.

For Mages, in addition to the enhancent of Magic Power and improvents in combat skills, grasping more and stronger “Knowledge” was key.

For Mages, knowledge was the foundation of all strength.

And for that, financial backing was indispensable.

Casting materials, research equipnt, Magic Books, and the like all required Lis to spend actual silver and Gold.

Especially after advancing to Silver, Lis had many new ideas, but he lacked the conditions to realize them.

Theoretically, as a Mage, there were actually many ways for Lis to make money, whether it was becoming a Mage instructor or earning money by fulfilling rcenary commissions; however, both would take up a lot of Lis’s ti.

And now, ti was what Lis lacked the most.

Whether it was the assassination at the upcoming Sacrificial Festival or the major events following it, Lis felt an intense sense of urgency.

After careful consideration, Lis chose the route of comrcial Enchantnt products.

Lis had his own reasons:

Firstly, this approach was feasible and highly profitable.

A player from another life who innovated special Magic Runes had earned a fortune in Gold Coins, becoming the wealthiest player, far surpassing those professional guilds.

Once the market for comrcial Enchanted Products was initially developed, it would be worth millions of Gold Coins, and that was just within the Feis Kingdom, with similar demands from other countries.

However, what happened later on had little to do with that player.

Although Lis didn’t have the ans to monopolize such a vast market, he was confident that by allying with partners and sharing the benefits, he could retain his deserved share of the pie.

Secondly, it required relatively less of Lis’s ti.

While it initially demanded a significant effort from Lis, after the production and sales of comrcial Enchantnt products were on the right track, it wouldn’t occupy much of his ti, and his good friend Mora and others could manage the business.

Besides, researching Magic Runes was already part of Lis’s plans, an essential path in arcane studies.

It was perfect for practicing with simpler runes and gradually progressing towards more profound domains of knowledge.

Thirdly, it just so happened that Lis’s current connections could be very useful.

Mora was associated with the Golden Vine Flower Comrce, and Arsen’s house controlled the Radiant United Comrce. On the premise of establishing cooperation, they were adequate to ensure the sales channels for comrcial Enchantnt products and provide shelter.

As for the “technical support” in Magic Rune developnt, there was Bernie and his teacher, the Magic Rune Master Yousef Daher.

Lis had so new ideas that also required help from Yousef Daher.

Thinking this way, there were still many things waiting for Lis to do!

He crumpled up the roughly scribbled paper detailing the comrcial Enchantnt products plan and burned it.

Lis then took out a new piece of parchnt and began pondering again.

With the assassination at the Sacrificial Festival, he no longer had to worry about his personal safety, but the matter was far from over.

Without fully understanding Second Prince Yatean’s plan, Lis wouldn’t be at ease.

Why would Lord Yatean choose to attempt an assassination on Lis during the Sacrificial Festival, when all the nobles and ministers of the Royal Capital were present?

It couldn’t just be that he was extrely unlucky and happened to be chosen, could it?

Even if that were the case, Yatean had already arranged for Camus to test Lis multiple tis, and Lis would not tolerate threats to his existence.

Where could there be a breakthrough?

Lis was certain that Yatean had been secretly scheming for a long ti for this matter, and with just over a month left until the Sacrificial Festival, aside from actions like buying up food and weapons, other plans were likely already in place.

Lis reviewed the major events that had taken place in Bright City in the past months in his mory but found no opportunity to exploit.

Lis put down his pen and furrowed his brow.

Could he only wait for them to make a move against him now?

Camus had been “sent away” by himself, so Yatean probably would not give up directly and would send others to test him.

If all else failed, would he have to reveal Yatean’s plot during the Sacrificial Festival?

But Yatean, being a person of ticulous mind, would certainly not leave any evidence connected to that assassin.

Doing so would only cause troubles for himself, and he wouldn’t be able to explain how he ca by the information.

Army, Guild, manpower.

Lis wrote these words on the paper.

After a mont of contemplation, he circled the word Guild.

It seems that he could only try starting from there!

—————

Bright City, a certain secret base.

A man with a common appearance bowed, greeted the person in front of him, and said,

“Lord Robert, I have searched Camus’s ho and academy, but haven’t found him.”

According to his classmates at the academy, Camus hasn’t appeared there for many days.”

The person sitting in the chamber was naturally Robert, who had t with the Second Prince previously. He was frowning as he listened to the subordinate’s report, slightly troubled.

What exactly is Camus up to?

Playing disappearing acts at this ti?

Delaying Lord’s business, I wonder how he’s going to handle this!

Robert carefully asked his subordinate if there were any other findings, and after confirming that there were no other valuable pieces of information, he waved his hand and let the subordinate leave first.

Ever since the Second Prince had instructed Robert last ti, he had been focusing on the matter.

He had intended to talk to Camus about it at their next eting, but after missing two scheduled get-togethers in a row, Robert realized sothing was amiss and sent his subordinate to search for Camus.

Now Camus was nowhere to be found!

Robert was rather irritated. Could it be that Camus had fled because he feared failure in completing the mission?

That explanation made no sense!

Even if the mission were incomplete, at most, Lord Yatean would be disappointed in him. But to defect?

Or could he have t with an accident?

…

No matter! The task Lord Yatean entrusted to must be completed; it’s the foundation for all subsequent plans.

It seems I’ll have to make the arrangents personally!

Lis Kain?

I’m eager to see what you’re capable of!
