Chapter 991 Visiting the Old Capital

Name:Prime Originator Author:Pointbreak
Chapter 991 Visiting the Old Capital  Duke Flugerd felt humiliated, but he was at fault. And losers have no rights.

"Your Majesty, please allow a few of us to accompany you for security," the leader of the law-punishing force requested.

However, King Lutheran casually glanced back and said, "For security? Can any of you guard me better than myself? Leave. I will deal with this matter by myself."

The leader of the law-punishing force retreated awkwardly with his head lowered.



Sometime later, everyone besides Duke Flugerd and the law-punishing force arrived in New Capital.

King Lutheran and the others from the Geyser Kingdom were immediately awed by the grandness and majesty of the incomplete city.

Even the World Tree was more impressive up close.

Nevertheless, Leon went ahead and arranged the meeting between his father, Heinrich, and King Lutheran.

Then, he organized troops and disaster relief supplies to be sent back to the border city in Valaran to help the people in need.

Afterward, Leon returned and focused his attention on Marquis Raygor, the earls, and the few hundred Transcendent-level troops.

In his mind, Leon already had a plan on how to utilize the slaves.

But before that, there were still a few things he needed to do.

"Guard them. Don't let them leave this area," Leon instructed Rainshine and the Transcendent-level city guards to keep watch over the slaves before heading off again.

Shortly after, Leon got help from the officials to recruit 500 elves and set up a food supply chain for the Darkmoon Tribe.

The food supply chain would take time to prepare, but the 500 elves were quickly gathered.

Where there were contribution points to be earned, humans and elves alike would immediately flock at the opportunity.

Many elves regretted not being quick enough for the signup, but even more humans regretted not getting such a chance.

"These are the elves that applied for the job, Your Highness," an official reported after bringing the 500 elves to Leon.

Leon swept the elves a glance and nodded.

Most of them were around Rank 5 to Rank 8 Body Tempering, but that wasn't important. What he needed was their wood ability.

On that note, all of them were at least 3-Star Ranked Awakeners and above.

"I guess this will be the first time you'll be following me to the other continent," Leon mentioned to Faelyn, who stood beside him with her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

However, she quickly shook her head.

"I shouldn't. I better stay back and work on improving my alchemy," Faelyn thought.

She was late to the profession. Thus, she wanted to catch up to her peers quickly.

Leon smiled.

"It's great that you think that way, but how will you practice without spirit herbs?" Leon mentioned.

"Although the current spirit energy level in the atmosphere is enough to cultivate spirit herbs, they are still around tier-1 to tier-2. Given what I taught you, you will reach tier-3 proficiency in no time."

"It's better if you follow me. I'll provide all the spirit herbs you need to practice along the way," Leon stated.

"Mm, then I will listen to you," Faelyn lowered her head obediently.

Before long, Leon opened another Dark Passage to the Old Capital and transferred all the elves and slaves over.

Rainshine hopped back on Leon's shoulders as if it was her rightful place and followed him to the other side.

At first, Marquis Raygor and the other slaves thought it might not be so bad working as slaves in such a good environment like New Capital.

However, they were sorely mistaken.

Little did they know, they would be sent to another continent to toil hard for the prosperity of the Infertile Plains.



Old Capital, Old Royal Palace

Ever since Heinrich and Elizabeth moved to New Capital and built the new royal palace there, the old palace had been the new home of the Lancaster family.

At the same time, it was the most important mining city in the empire. Thus, a few Paragon-level Winter Cats were also designated to protect it.

After leaving the Winter Cats in charge of watching the slaves, Leon decided to drop by the old palace for a visit.

All the guards at the gates recognized the empire's crown prince. Thus, no one barred Leon's entry.



"My, what brings you here, Leon," Amelia Lancaster welcomed Leon, pleasantly surprised by Leon's sudden visit.

"I thought I should pay you a visit before going to the other continent, Mother-in-law. I also wanted to gift you a few things," Leon said with a smile.

However, Amelia could only respond with a forced smile after being called mother-in-law.

After all, her daughter and Leon hadn't been married yet. Furthermore, their relationship was estranged and seen no progress.

Even if Amelia and Ignis wanted to bring the two together, there was no opportunity.

One was always traveling, and the other was no longer home.

Nevertheless, Leon noticed Amelia's expression and also saw a few strands of grey hair on her head, which could have been due to stress.

"How are Father-in-law and Rachel? Are they not home?" Leon inquired.

"They've been quite fine, but none of them are home. Rachel entered secluded cultivation outside the Human Domain, and Ignis went to deliver some supplies and check up on her at the same time," Amelia replied.

"Outside the Human Domain…?" Leon uttered with surprise.

"Yes, but not in the west, though. Beyond the southern gate, there is a land of active volcanoes in the Wildlands that we found to be very good for cultivation. That's where they went to train," Amelia stated.

"Now that I think about it, it should roughly be quite close to the Grand Surya Desert. Heck, it might be on the other side of the mountain range that marks the Human Domain's borders."

"But speaking of the Grand Surya Desert, I heard Grandmaster Don was last seen entering that place with a child he accepted as his disciple. That was more than a month ago," Amelia suddenly recalled.

"I wonder if they are okay…"
