Chapter 31

n

nThe notification letters reached the provincial capitals and were posted on the bulletin boards. They attracted the attention of many people.

nThe populace’s enthusiasm for joining the army was very high at the moment.

n

n

nElders and women in the family were encouraging the young men to join the army.

nThe enlistment offices in various places became crowded with people.

nThis was the largest enlistment drive in the history of the Noah Kingdom. The whole process would probably last for at least a month.

nBased on all the signs, a lot of people had a premonition that a huge storm was coming to the Noah Kingdom in the near future.

n

n

nAlthough the world outside had been turned upside down, the inside of the palace was calm and solemn.

nLifa was sitting upright and looking at Rennes with a solemn expression.

n“Please speak, Lord Rennes!”

nRennes’ eyes flashed with admiration at Lifa’s serious attitude.

n

n

nWhether it was a man or a woman, a person was indeed the most attractive when they were serious.

nUnder Lifa’s gaze, Rennes started speaking.

n..

nHalf an hour later.

n“Okay, I’ll remember everything that you said. But Lifa is very curious. Has Lord Rennes ever managed a country before?” Lifa’s eyes were filled with surprise.

n“Nope!” Rennes shook his head. Although he had a company in his previous life, he was basically just a figurehead.

n

n

n“Then it must mean you’re a natural-born leader, Lord Rennes. The plans you proposed are all very useful. The Noah Kingdom will definitely become stronger under your guidance. Lifa will just be your assistant from now on!”

nRennes did not say anything in response to Lifa’s praise. He only smiled.

nThe proposals he made were just things that he had seen from the news in the past that had left some impression in him.

nAs for whether they were practical in this world, that was not something for him to consider.

nAfter all, the perfect policy did not exist.

nMoreover, as long as he was still in Noah Kingdom, no big trouble would befall the kingdom.

nAs long as he could obtain more mysterious light spots, it did not matter to him what happened to the rest of the Arnold Continent.

nAfter listening to Rennes’ suggestions, Lifa fell into deep thought, her eyes filled with agreement.

n

n

nShe took out a quill and paper to write down the important points.

nThe first point was about the enlistment drive. The logistics and supply problem was very important. They would need to feed, cloth, and mobilize hundreds of thousands of people.

nThis was a very heavy task. In order to form an elite force, the entire Noah Kingdom, from the south to the north, had to help.

nThe second point was about family planning. Due to the war with the Raytheon Empire, the Noah Kingdom had lost a large number of people.

nIf a country wanted to become strong, they could not have a small population. The only problem was the reaction of the populace towards this policy. It still required further investigation.

nThe third point was about the construction of the port. It was one of the most important plans in the Noah Kingdom’s development strategy in the eastern region of the continent.

nAfter writing down these three points, Lifa committed them to memory and would implement them one by one after this.

nThey had pretty much finished their discussion at this point, so Rennes got up to leave. He still had something to do.

nIt had been some time since he taught Tracy the advanced magic extraction spell. During this period of time, the little girl had been working very hard, so she had improved very quickly.

nJust a few days ago, Tracy had successfully broken through the rank of a Grandmage to become a Newmoon mage. She could now learn more advanced magic.

nConsidering Tracy’s personality, she would definitely be more concerned about her magic rank now that the kingdom had a large number of mage apprentices.

nAfter all, as Rennes maid, she could not be too weak.

nThere were magic academies in the kingdom that would teach all kinds of magic knowledge, and the libraries also stored various kinds of magic books.

n

n

nWhen it came to basic magic, the magic academies had even more magic books than what Rennes had memorized.

nTherefore, Rennes did not need to worry about the problem of spreading magic among the populace.

nIt was more important for him to fulfill his promise to Trish.

nRennes returned to his residence.

nTrish’s figure now gave off a more mature feeling, slowly getting rid of a young girl’s naivety.

nIt seemed now that Trish had become a Newmoon mage and her magic power had increased, her body had also developed a lot more.

nTrish had become more confident. The noble temperament of a dragon was slowly showing in her.

nIn the kitchen.

nSeeing the returning Rennes, Trish put down the kitchen knife in her hand and gave him a sweet smile. “Lord Rennes, you’re back!”

nHaving watched Rennes cook a big potato feast the last time, Trish had also began to experiment by herself.

nAfter many failed attempts, her potato dishes had now become decent.

nNow, she would cook a big potato meal for Rennes before Rennes come home. Occasionally, she would stealthily eat some of them herself while in the kitchen.

nAt this moment, she placed a plate of golden potato chips on the table.

nRennes smiled looking at the food on the table.

nHe knew that Trish was a single-element mage. A single-element mage would face many restrictions in the future and were destined to not have as much growth potential as multi-element mages, but if a single-element mage honed the power of one element to the extreme, they could destroy heaven and earth too.

nIn the classification system of magic spells, there were basic spells, advanced spells, rare spells, S-class spells, SS-class spells, and finally SSS-class spells.

nIn this world, the highest spell level was only S-class. They were known as forbidden spells.

nTrish was already at the level of a Newmoon mage. She could already learn higher-level spells, especially some rare spells that were not too complicated!

nUnder Trish’s expectant gaze, Rennes picked up a piece of potato chip with his chopsticks and tasted it. “Wow, it’s not too bad!”

n“Trish will make it even tastier in the future!” Trish smiled from ear to ear, because this was the first time that Rennes had praised her potato chip.

n“Come, follow me outside to the garden. I’ll teach you some magic!” Rennes laughed.

nThe two of them stood in the garden.

nFacing the cold winter wind, Rennes conjured a composite spell consisting of the ice element and the wind element.

nTo Trish’s surprise, she felt as if all the snowflakes in the world seemed to have become one with him.

nThe next moment, a whirlwind lifted her up. She was surrounded by wind and snow, making her look like an ice queen.

nBut Trish could not hang on for long.

n“Ah! My lord, please put me down!”

n“Trish is… scared!”

n…

nTrish was really scared when she felt herself flying up into the sky. She was afraid that she would accidentally fall down.

nFalling from such a high altitude, she would definitely die.

n“Haha!”

nAmidst Rennes’ carefree laughter, Trish quickly approached the ground and landed steadily.

nShe sat on the ground, scared silly. Her hair was disheveled, her pupils were constricted, and she was panting heavily.

n“My lord, please don’t do that again, alright?”

nAfter a while, Trish recovered and said to Rennes.

n“That won’t do. You’re a Newmoon mage now. You must have guts. The spell just now is called the Eye of the Snow Tornado. It’s a rare composite spell. Do you want to learn it?” Rennes asked with a laugh.

n
