Chapter 914: Territory Meeting
Taking in Angelina was just a surprise for Rhode and what happened next was the main show.
As the refugees entered the Void Territory, the various facilities and structures were beginning to be perfected. At the same time, the surrounding territories and countries attempted to approach the Void Territory, with hopes to gain some benefits. Opening up the land of Chaos wasn’t as simple as just adding a new territory. Due to millennia of Chaos wreaking havoc, the entire land of Chaos was filled with strong magical powers. It was due to the influence of the magical powers that almost every newly opened land of Chaos was filled with countless high-purity minerals and crystals. Not only that, but there were also all sorts of rare magical plants. As Order slowly recovered, the ruins shattered by Chaos showed themselves and revealed mysterious, ancient treasures, which attracted strong adventurers. In the game, many players would try their luck whenever a new land of Chaos was opened up. Although mercenaries didn’t roam about like the fearless players, it was still absolutely possible that some would visit the Void Territory for adventures.
The most favorable evidence was that after the refugees settled down, the Land of Atonement received applications from the Church, Alchemist Association, Mercenary Association, and Mage Association. They were seeking permission from Rhode to branch out their organizations in the Void Territory. The Church valued followers while the Alchemist Association valued the various rare magic herbs. On the other hand, the Mercenary Association’s main goal was naturally the ancient ruins. The Mage Association was highly interested in the crystal mines. All in all, in this new territory, there were just too many factors that attracted them here.
These applications were from non-official organizations. Although the various countries and territories had also dispatched their men, they hadn’t immediately started formal diplomatic dealings. The reason was simple; they weren’t sure of Rhode’s position within the Munn Kingdom.
Rhode’s identity had become the dragon soul heir now. Under such circumstances, formal diplomatic relations with him had to be extremely cautious. Non-official organizations like the Mercenary Association and Mage Association didn’t need to be mindful because no matter what identity he had, he was the only ruler in this place. Therefore, as long as he didn’t object to them establishing a presence here, they weren’t concerned. But the rulers were different. They had to respond differently to his identity, be it economic, military, or diplomatic. An overlord definitely couldn’t be compared to the ruler of a country and vice-versa.
Based on Gillian’s intelligence network, Rhode heard rumors that the internal Country of Light was beginning to ridicule Lydia. They mocked her for being weaker than her subject as an Archangel. It was apparent that the Country of Light was sowing discord between Rhode and Lydia. But now… Rhode felt like he didn’t need to care much about external relationships anymore.
Because an ‘internal battle’ was erupting before his eyes right now.
And it was only due to one reason—money.
As refugees swarmed into his territory, the various systems were integrated and this was where the problem stood out.
