Lord Of The People: I Have Countless Territorial Traits

Chapter 205-207

Chapter 205: A Wealth of Gems! The Threat of the Five Kingdoms!

In Sentinel Town, Mayor Charlotte sat in his office, peacefully painting flowers. With the arrival of the Chaos Black Mist Legion, tensions between the Zeen Kingdom and the Goblin Kingdom had eased, leaving their border town in a rare, calm state. Charlotte finally felt at ease.

"I wonder how Lord Qingdi is doing," he murmured, setting down his brush.

"He must be handling the Chaos Black Mist Legion now."

Suddenly, his friend list flashed with a new message. When he saw that it was from Qingdi, his heart raced. Reading Qingdi's inquiry about gems, his excitement grew.

"This lord Qingdi, even under siege from the Chaos Black Mist Legion, still has time to secure occupation inheritance books?" Charlotte marveled, typing back quickly.

"I have 5 platinum-grade gems, 15 gold, 124 silver, 500 bronze, and 5,000 black iron gems. Are you interested?"

Qingdi responded immediately: "I want them all."

Charlotte’s excitement soared, though curiosity got the better of him.

"Lord Qingdi, how many occupation inheritance books do you have right now? If you have more, I can apply for more gems from the kingdom or buy more from other sources."

Qingdi replied with characteristic calm: "Isn’t it safe for you there? Why the need for so many books?"

Charlotte paused, his admiration for Qingdi’s intelligence growing. "In the Origin Continent, who wouldn’t want more strength?" he typed back.

After a moment, Qingdi replied, "Not much, just over 600,000 copies."

Charlotte was stunned. This lord Qingdi had a way of making the monumental sound trivial. His doubts about Qingdi’s resources vanished. After all, he had pulled every string to amass these gems, but it barely compared to the trove of 600,000 occupation inheritance books Qingdi was offering.

Regaining his composure, Charlotte specified his needs. "I’m looking for basic arms occupation books for human forces."

"Done," came Qingdi’s reply.

The two completed the exchange, with Charlotte transferring his entire stockpile of gems to Qingdi in exchange for an impressive 349,600 occupation inheritance books. Holding the books, Charlotte’s mind buzzed with new plans. He messaged Qingdi eagerly, "I’ll work to gather more gems, and if necessary, I’ll reach out to other kingdoms."

Qingdi: "The more gems, the better. If gems are scarce, you could also gather skilled talents from the kingdom. I’d exchange military books for life occupation or special occupation talents. Fair deals only."

"And, if you have any regional territory promotion licenses, I’d trade 100,000 basic occupation books or 25,000 rare ones for each."

Charlotte’s mind raced. "A regional territory promotion permit for that many books?” He recalled hearing rumors of such permits and noted to investigate further.

Before ending the exchange, Charlotte remembered something else and typed, "Lord Qingdi, there’s talk that the One-Eyed Kingdom, Blood Ghost Kingdom, Heart Wolf Kingdom, Goblin Kingdom, and Zeen Kingdom nearly lost their forces in the Temple of Wisdom’s Dark Mist realm. They’re reportedly looking to take revenge. Be cautious."

In Qingdi City, Lu Qing read the message without concern. After his recent trials in the Black Mist realm, his strength had grown so much that the alliance of the five kingdoms was barely a threat. With a simple reply of thanks, he ended the conversation and laid out the newly-acquired gems in his villa’s living room.
