Chapter 137 - Who Is Visiting?!



Chapter 137 – Who Is Visiting?!

"The Duchy of Evren…" Robin muttered in a low voice

Mila was silent for a few minutes to give him a chance to think, then spoke, "I know what you are thinking, it's easy to make the connection, those techniques are most likely taken by the Evren family, the patriarch thought the same when he heard the report as well, but it's hard to act, extremely hard…"

Robin nodded, "There is no evidence that they took the techniques, and even if there is evidence you can simply refuse to hand them over, even if we mess with that Baron family now we would gain nothing… 

I'm generally not worried about what they can do with those two booklets, they are worthless without putting them into use by crafting the talismans, but… I'm afraid they will go further after they have tasted their first success.

…Appoint a few men from the intelligence department to collect only information about the Duchy of Evren, watch their movements closely… the way they deal with our caravans that cross to the new lands, what they do at the auctions…Tell me if there are escalations on their part."

Mila shrugged, "I will do as you say…"

"thank you, sir!"

"I wish there were more benefactors like you!"

Robin nodded with a smile to the passersby, then spoke to Mila, "Is there something in the family that warrants my personal intervention?"

"Yeah, you made the 30 10-slots Oath tablets and handed them over to us a few months ago… Billy took only 20 of them to the new lands in case if new families wanted to join our panner 

After they all saw that the first four families that joined us started gaining knights, lands, etc.. they also came to take the oath and received the minor heavenly law technique… during these months we have been able to win 17 more families to be our nobles in the new lands!

As for me, I booked 10 tablets here in case new potential rune masters came while you were in seclusion. At first, everyone said 10 tablets were too many for that and I almost sent the rest to Billy, but the strangest thing happened… During the past 8 months, more than 300 cultivators that match the specifications came to work for us!"

"Wha-?! 300 of them?!" Robin was shocked by the number and stopped for a moment in the street, 

during his previous year of seclusion, they could barely gather 56 individuals!

Mila nodded, "This shocked us too… up till now we still don't know how that happened, I personally think it was the new enormous academy that is starting to gain fame for being *mysterious*, or maybe seeing that our Inscription Masters were treated with respect and really received what they were promised…

The important thing is that more than 300 individuals came to work, and because you were busy, I and Zara took over the task… We told them about the oath they had to say and about the benefits for them and the powers behind them if they joined us, etc… the whole process was easier with them because they already have knowledge about the Oath tablets as they are sold in auctions for a few months now…

  In the end, 149 individuals agreed to stay and work with us… 100 of them took the oath, 8 of them died because of trying to break the oath, then another 8 took their place… and the rest of the 41 are waiting until we provide them with tablets to swear upon and start their learning…"

"Does this mean… excluding you and Zara, there are 123 Rune masters that are working on the talismans now as we speak?!" Robin asked hesitantly.

"that is partially right… some of them are still in the training period though, the older Rune masters are still teaching the new ones what they know… but in general yes, we currently have 123 Rune masters" Mila nodded.

"This…" Even in Robin's wildest dreams, he didn't think the Rune Masters could reach that number, if each of them made one fire explosion talisman per day, then the total number at the end of each month would be….

"Hey.. where did you go in your mind…" Mila poked him a few times in the side of his head

"Uh, no, nothing.. you say there are 41 individuals waiting to take the oath? that means you need 5 oath tablets of ten slots, right?"

Mila nodded, "Billy sent 50 new tablets of the ten-slot size, they are all waiting for you…"

Robin rubbed his chin, at this rate he would still need to draw the ten-slot tablets in weekly biases alongside those single-slot he need to make for sale

After a few seconds, he sighed, "Forget it… I'm going to make the five tablets, for now, then I will leave the rest to you. You are a saint and Zara has a lot of experience with the Runes now. I will teach you how to make the oath tablets yourself, I wish one of you will catch it…"

"Excellent!!" Mila was very happy with Robin's statement, after the increase in the numbers of the masters of talismans, her role and Zara became much more limited, and with every new Rune the Rune masters start to produce, their role between them becomes less, it's about time they both specialize in something new…

After entering the administration area, Robin made a detour toward the guest house, but Mila stopped him, "Where do you think you're going…?"

"Emmm… home?" Robin was surprised by the question

"Hey, come on." Then she pulled his arm in the opposite direction

Soon, a heavily guarded luxurious palace with a nice frontal private garden appeared in front of them. 

The palace wasn't very big but it was undoubtedly one of the largest buildings in the administrative area, excluding the academy of course, after a few seconds Robin of looking around he understood something and gasped, "This…!"

"Right, it's our home…" Mila had a big smile, she had worked so hard to supervise every little thing in the palace, she made it a better version of her former mansion in Bradley Pearl City.

Robin looked at her out of the corner of his eye, "You mean my house?"

"Aren't we one, honey? hehe Come on, show me the house from the inside." Then I quickly pulled him inside

———————-

Robin took a vacation from training, research, and very much everything he used to do, as he fully focused on teaching Mila and Zara how to make the oath tablets…

After making the simple version of the sound talisman, he would draw the multi-use version only for money, But he now HAS to draw only two things… the third level of The spirit Revitalizing Pill, and the oath tablets…

if he can make them successfully draw the oath rune, then it will be only a matter of time for them to be able to draw The spirit Revitalizing rune as well!

As such, investing some time on them, for now, will surely pay in the future… but the *sometimes* took more than he expected

The subject was not easy for them, as this was the first time they drew something related to the soul, it was much more complex than the level they were accustomed to, it is like asking a kid in the first level of energy foundation to study the third stage of a heavenly law technique!

and the inevitable happened, after the first week of trying, the two failed miserably… 

But Robin didn't give up on them, he decided to change his strategy… 

he would spend a few hours daily trying to enhance their craftsmanship of the Runes as a whole by solidifying their foundation, after every rune they perfect, he would get to the next one then the next!

When he got to the point where he had to make them perfect the sound, fire explosion, and even the vitality Runes, Robin ordered to gather all 164 Rune Masters, the older and fresh ones, in a lecture hall and give them all a few lectures personally, and even passed by them one by one to see how fast and precise they were… 

He did it so that they could get their information straight from the source… and even remind them who the real boss is in here.

this process took him a full month, but in the end, it bore fruit… all the Rune master became at least 30% faster than they were before, as for Mila and Zara who were taking private lessons daily, they were able to finally make their first oath tablet each!

at that same week, The Patriarch also came out of his seclusion, officially becoming a level 26 Saint.

But the actual main event at the end of the month is when Mila one day came up to Robin and said, "My father is coming to Jura, he said he wanted you for something important and he is bringing another guest with him.."

"Guest? Who…?" Robin asked

"Duke Raymond Alton"
