Chapter 774 Preparation

774 Preparation

The chaos inside Menaki Kingdom is just another small episode for Firuman World. Things like a fight, war, or even one-sided annihilation are normal in this magical world. Furthermore, if it is carried by seventh-grade people, no one will find it strange and question it.

The World Alliance will also not sanction them since no one can stop seventh-grade people. Unless it is detrimental to the whole Firuman or affects many kingdoms, they will not care about it.

Even if they want to catch the seventh grade, they will need a lot of force, time, and effort. In other words, seventh-grade people are unstoppable and ordinary law couldn't judge them. Fortunately, all these conflicts will not affect Angus and his little family.

"Helping you forge a sword?" asked Kusibella, the female dwarf.

"Not exactly forging the sword. I have the latest advanced dwarf tools and need some help operating it while forging the sword." explained Angus clearly.

"Hmm... Certainly, if it is an advanced dwarf tool, it is hard to use for a single person. I am not sure how you managed to get it. But, sure. Bornja and I could help you. As for that madlad Groodin... Well, you need to ask him by yourself." said Kusibella.

"Don't agree too fast first. The forging location is quite secretive for our kingdom. So... You and Bornja need to sign a non-disclosure contract." said Angus without hiding things.

"Hmm... That's interesting. It must not be some ordinary mountain I assume. Sure. I will ask Bornja later. If she agrees, I will gladly sign the contract with her. We owe you so much for all those resources anyway." replied Kusibella.

The two female dwarves Kusibella and Bornja are the dwarves that stay with Angus during the Undermine Council and specialize in magic cannon. Most people don't notice two female dwarves among the group that teleported with Angus before.

The dwarf race is unique since 70% of the population is male while the other 30% are female. Because of their unique culture, the female dwarf is hard to distinguish from the male dwarf. They even have beards and plump bodies like any other dwarf race.

Only after Kusibella and Bornja remove their armor could Angus notice their more feminine faces contrast with the other male dwarves. Since the advanced dwarf tools are hard to operate by himself, he needs help from others.

Balrug and these dwarves are a good choice for Angus since he knows more about their characteristics. *BOOOM* Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard from nearby.

"Bella, Catch them!! They are back again!!" a loud voice heard from a distance.

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* A moment later, Angus and Kusibella find a magical broken golem running towards them while being pursued by a blackened female dwarf. The female dwarf has a charred face and a miserable appearance with a furious expression.

In contrast, a twin little girl sitting on the mechanical golem is smiling mischievously while holding some sort of hand cannon. Noticing the twin Gemini, Angus knows it is his time to go.

"Then, I will leave first. Just tell Pavlon if you and Bornja agreed to sign the contract." said Angus before bursting into flames.

Angus still couldn't find the solution for making his own Fire Mineral Pool, but he couldn't stay inside for long. There is still some work to do at the Research Center and preparation for the forging process.

During this time, Angus and his two beloved girls move back to the capital city for convenience. Most of his work and preparation must be done in the capital city. He also needs to keep an eye on the naughty Anna.

Therefore, they decide to return to the capital city and live like before. During this time, they often received invitations from the noble circle. As Jade started to gather a team, the news about the Undermine Council incident finally spread around the noble circle.

Moreover, some big merchants heard about this terrible incident and slowly passed it to the aristocratic class. With the news spreading, more noble families started paying attention to the new Baron Victory and Fourth Princess.

Since they are part of high-ranking nobles, only a few bad rumors about them are circulating through the kingdom. However, most noble families notice these two people will definitely become extraordinary in the future, especially for Angus.

The nobles also noticed Angus' closeness with King Leon and considered him as another candidate for the next throne. Even if Angus does not sit on the throne in the future, they also know he will become one of the future pillars just with his current qualifications.

For these two reasons, many nobles began to pay attention to this new baron and try to gain his favor. Unfortunately, they don't know about Angus's massive wealth. It will be hard for them to gain his favor with material and resources.

Even if they could, it must be something that couldn't be bought with money. Still, it didn't prevent these nobles from pestering Angus and his little family all day. Some stupid nobles even dare to deceive the innocent Anna with various things.

Fortunately, Anna is also a mischievous and wild child. She never listens to anyone who can't catch her punches. If she is interested in something, she will grab it directly while ignoring the nobles. They will get Anna's deadly punch if they protest to her later.

Many personal guards and knights already suffer from Anna's punch. Fortunately, Angus' forced training is not useless, as Anna can hold back her power and only use enough strength to knock off the people. Otherwise, there will be a bloodbath whenever Anna goes.

With Anna's wild and mischievous nature, Angus and Jayna couldn't make her stay near them all day. One moment, she is eating roasted pork happily. The next moment, she is already exploring the city with a group of running pigs and creating mess everywhere.

Entering the Victory Manor, "Young Master, there is another audience request from Lady Sunarm." said Pavlon, the manor head butler.

"Sunarm? Is it the Duchess?" asked Angus.

"No, It is Lady Lizbet Sunarm. She seems to insist on meeting with the Young Master." clarified Pavlon

"Lady Lizbet? If I am not wrong, she is the only daughter of Duchess Sunarm, right?" asked Angus.

"Yes, Young Master." said Pavlon.

"I wonder why she wants to meet me. But I am quite busy now. Send her away. I don't have any time for leisure chatting and noble political games." said Angus before entering his room.

"As you wish, Young Master." replied Pavlon before moving to the guest area.

Host: Angus Victory

11:33

Entering his room, Angus immediately checks his status panel as a habit before using his battle system.

Host: Angus Victory

Age: 18 Years Old

MP: 802/802

Chi: 1447 -> 2641

Heritage Chi: ???

Strength: 61 -> 61 (No Increase)

Dexterity: 60 -> 60 (No Increase)

Intelligence: 59 -> 60

Vitality: 60 -> 60 (No Increase)

Soul Point: 273.448 -> 287.698

Soul Reserve: 1689

(A/N: Time comparison is around three weeks.)

Seeing his status panel, Angus has a dilemma to increase his intelligence again or not. With his intelligence increase, his thinking process will be faster and he could use [Analyze] efficiently.

However, he increased his intelligence around a week ago, just after returning from Undermine Council. His body and mind are still not perfectly synchronized and have absolute control.

Still, it didn't prevent him from having the urge to increase it with the continued failed research about Fire Mineral Pool. Moreover, the Undermine Council incident also gave him a lot of Soul Points and Soul Reserve.

Previously, Angus knew he could get soul points by killing others. As for Soul Reserve, it would increase by one each time he killed high-grade beings. Still, he wasn't surprised by the sudden increment as he already killed a lot of dwarves during the incident.

Be it directly killing them or by stray spell attack, Angus had already lost count of how many high-grade dwarves died under his hand. Despite his prudent action to not kill dwarves at the start of the incident, he was still forced to kill many of them.

This suddenly increases, giving Angus a strange feeling. Some part of him is guilty of those fallen dwarves, while part of him is also excited about having more points. In the end, he could only set aside this matter and try to not overthink it.

Angus knows he is not a good person and can't just be bullied by others trying to harm him and his loved ones. Besides his Soul Point and Soul Reserve, his mana also increased a lot during the whole incident.

Angus dares to use his mana unscrupulously with his current absurd mana regeneration. This led to sudden growth in his mana pool. Angus's mana core is designed to increase his total mana when he uses his mana drastically.

At first, he created this feature for his customized mana core to save time refining mana. However, he didn't expect his mana to grow completely off-chart compared to other people. Not to mention refining mana. Angus almost forgot the last time he refined his mana to increase it.
