After receiving Aiken's thanks, Lothur tried to see if he could get anything more from the family treasury. Still, the Frost patriarch only promised to indicate his name in the future.
Unfortunately, the Memory Crystal needed time to give new prize rights to people who contributed to the family. Since Lothur had just gotten three, which was rarely given to people like him, he would be unable to receive approval for some time.
After finding this out, Lothur told Aiken that he did not need anything since Viktoria was his wife and he had acted for himself in and out of the Frost family treasury.
He, of course, reminded this patriarch that he would soon be presenting his project, but he did not want to ask for financial help.
Lothur was proud and would not borrow coins from such a person or anyone else. He had his business and skills. Then he would do his best to carry out his plans, obtain resources and develop himself without asking for help.
In this way, it was not long before he and Viktoria returned to this woman's house within the Frost estate. There, they would quickly go back to sleep, secure in the knowledge that they would not be surprised for some time.
...
Two days later...
After the previous situation, nothing else had arisen to threaten Lothur and Viktoria for the remaining time she needed to regain her strength.
Meanwhile, Lothur had taken the time to form much of his vehicle, having completed about 80% of it by now.
But he did not just do this in these two days. On Sunday, he spent the day working on his professions, studying a little more alchemy and training his techniques.
He also took care of Elke and Annaliese, as he had done with Viktoria during this period, helping them get closer to advancing levels.
At the same time, Lothur had helped the Becker family with the formation of the workshop that would produce his special gloves, having trained some of the tailors in that organization.
With that, after finishing another day at the Morning Star Academy, Lothur looked at his status as he was going to settle the matter of the event he would be presenting his vehicle.
[Name: Lothur Ritter]
[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]
[Bloodline: Life Devourer]
[Cultivation: level 9]
[STR: 30.6 -> 32.6]
[CON: 100.3 -> 101]
[DEX: 31.3 -> 33.1]
[AGI: 35 -> 37]
[INT: 93.4]
[PER: 105.5]
[WIL: 79.3 -> 80]
[EVF: 623]
'When will I advance to the 2nd stage? My average physical attributes are already above 50...' He pondered this, having no idea when this would happen since he could not see the status of Spiritual Warriors.
Lothur had already concluded that he could only see the status of people of the same stage as him, so for now, he could only wait for his advancement.
But this young man felt he was getting close to the long-awaited moment to become a 2nd stage cultivator.
He then decided to check the status of Elke and Annaliese, the two accompanying him on this appointment, later this afternoon.
[Name: Annaliese Frost]
[Cultivation: level 9]
[STR: 35.7 -> 37.5]
[CON: 55.3 -> 65.5]
[DEX: 38.3 -> 40.1]
[AGI: 36.6 -> 38.4]
...
[Name: Elke Becker]
[Cultivation: level 6 -> 7]
[STR: 10 -> 13]
[CON: 39.5 -> 53.3]
[DEX: 12.5 -> 15.4]
[AGI: 12.7 -> 15.6]
'Elke is almost advancing to level 8...' He smiled as he looked at the slender body of this young redhead while lamenting that he could not see the mental attributes.
If he could observe such a thing, he would probably notice some improvement in Annaliese's soul cultivation due to the eye patch.
But there was nothing for him to do in that situation but sigh. He had no idea what he would have to do to be able to decipher that kind of information.
"Lothur, what will the presentation of your vehicle be like? For that matter, when will we be able to see it?" Elke asked, causing this man to lose his train of thought and smile at her.
"You will find out about that the day after tomorrow, hehe." He said as he commented on presenting his vehicle to potential investors.
Lothur had gotten Annaliese's help to find a place in this city where he could present his unique vehicle.
Such a place was at the local racetrack, where nobles usually went to place bets on horse races or races with similar beasts.
Lothur had paid over 100,000 bronze coins to rent the place for a day. Still, considering the area's security, quality, and characteristics, he thought it was worth it.
So he already had the place and the date when his vehicle would be presented to the public. That would be at noon the day after tomorrow.
After hearing this, Elke pouted at him, feeling it was a shame that he was so annoying and did not want to show them his vehicle.
The three arrived at a local store that sent out unique invitations. Lothur intended to pay for this establishment to send the letters to the potential investors he wanted to invite.
"Hello, good afternoon. How can I help you?" A young man recognized the distinguished figure of Lothur and promptly went to attend to this famous prodigy.
"Hmm, good afternoon. I want to hire this store's services to send out invitations for a certain event I will be hosting." Lothur went straight to the point, ignoring the stares of the women in the area.
"I see. How many people are we talking about here?"
Lothur then handed a list of names and addresses to that young man.
On that list were the names of several patriarchs of organizations in Linn Province, some local bourgeois, all very important individuals.
There were the names of Gomeric, Aiken, August Klossner, the patriarch of the Christen family, but also the names of Frederik, Johann, the two families Lothur had met in Lewerenz, etc.
Each invitation was extended not only to the people these letters would be addressed to but to up to five people from the family of the invited individual.
It was in Lothur's interest to attract as many investors as possible, so, of course, he would not turn down the coins of smaller organizations.
That is, he was not trying to get the support of Johann's family, for example. But if House Teusen wanted to participate by contributing coins, who would he be to refuse such generosity?
Hence, Lothur was not being too restrictive in his orders, intending to attract a relatively sizeable group of people to his presentation.
But of course, he was not inviting any families with hostility towards the Frost family or who had already acted against him.
The young attendant of that store read the names and addresses on that list, finding it impressive that Lothur wanted to invite so many important people to something.
He then said. "We can send the invitations, but since some of these organizations are not in Peters City, it will cost a bit to do the service."
"How much are we talking about?"
"Fifteen thousand bronze coins."
"That's not a problem." Lothur placed the coins in front of that individual, quickly settling the matter and leaving that store with the promise that his guests would receive their invitations in time.
Thus, he returned alongside those two women to his estate, where he intended to finish his vehicle!
