Chapter 1071: Chapter 1041: The Turmoil of Building the Jialan King’s Residence

"Take me to the Rafam Continent, and I’ll tell you!"

When these words came out of Gong Chenyu’s mouth, a stranger, not only Lin Yi was stunned.

Even Pope Frederick in the Pope Hall of the Light Church in Jialan City, observing everything secretly, showed a playful smile:

"It’s getting more and more interesting."

When night finally fell over Jialan City, the city was still bustling.

Especially around the central square, where the surging crowd was overwhelmingly large.

Everyone was watching intently at the enormous magic image in the sky above the square.

In the image, a group of people were sitting around a bonfire, roasting a properly prepared demon beast over the fierce fire. Even from miles away, it seemed people could smell the aroma of meat.

The murmurs in the crowd rose and fell:

"It looks really delicious."

"Can it not be? That’s the meat of the Three-Eyed Lone Wolf King."

"I haven’t eaten demon beast meat above Tier Four in my entire life."

...

...

If it weren’t for witnessing it firsthand, probably no one would believe these proud sons of heaven would be leisurely relying on meat in the depths of the Demon Forest?

Similarly,

King Jialan was the center of everyone’s discussion across the continent.

Everyone knew clearly.

Who brought this ’stable’ environment. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

If it weren’t for King Jialan’s formidable force, such a scene would simply be an extravagant hope.

Especially those family forces later rescued by Lin Yi, they were full of gratitude towards Lin Yi, this King Jialan.

Wen Sentai, the Second Elder of the Jialan City Mage Guild, was one of them.

In a private room with an extremely open view, the Magic Apprentice Hillsey was walking towards an elder sitting by the window:

"Elder Wen, you called for me?"

The elder leaned on a rocking chair, gazing at the magic image of the square outside, suddenly said:

"Isn’t King Jialan going to build the Jialan King’s Mansion?"

"Go to the Construction Bureau immediately and say that all materials for building the Jialan King’s Mansion must be the best."

"I will personally bear the additional costs."

Upon hearing this, the elders seated around all chuckled:

"The Divine Son competition hasn’t even ended, and you, old second, are already trying to please King Jialan."

These elders were all high-level figures in the Jialan City Mage Guild.

Even the President of the Mage Guild, an elder with white hair and beard, couldn’t help but speak:

"How could we let Second Elder bear the cost of such matter."

Under Hillsey’s shocked gaze, the highest leader of the Magic Guild was now addressing him:

"The construction expenses for the Jialan King’s Mansion will be fully shouldered by our Mage Guild."

"All materials must be top-tier."

"Once construction is complete, our Mage Guild will build a defense and cultivation array for it."

Finished speaking, he waved to the Magic Apprentice Hillsey:

"Go ahead, act as I said."

Hillsey dared not ask further questions and immediately left.

After Hillsey left, Wen Sentai revealed a bitter smile:

"The President is indeed wise!"

The elder seemed to not catch the sarcasm in Wen Sentai’s tone and laughed heartily:

"Someone with Titan’s bloodline, a Giant Dragon Mount, Behemoth Contracted Beast, mastering the Power of Domain, and completed Celestial Tribulation Baptism at Tier Seven."

"Do you think he is really as simple as he appears to be now?"

These words left all the elders in the room astonished.

Kamo, gazing at the mirrored image on the square, suddenly sighed:

"Our Nine Nether Continent has been dormant for a thousand years; it’s time for change."

"The breaker has appeared, this will be a chance for our Mage Guild."

Kamo suddenly stood up, hands behind his back at the window, and an invisible overbearing aura suddenly enveloped his majestic silhouette:

"Our Mage Guild also needs to rise."

...

...

[Construction Bureau] is an official institution in the Jialan Empire responsible for building mansions for the nobility.

While Hillsey was just a magic apprentice of the Jialan City Mage Guild.

Due to limited talent.

Now in his late thirties, he remains at Tier Two Mage level.

However, because of his family’s connections with Second Elder Wen Sentai.

Thus he was able to stay and work at the Mage Guild.

Although just a handyman, no one dared to belittle him.

Because when he stepped out, he represented the entire Magic Guild, not merely a Tier Two Mage.

Today, he was originally in the square of Jialan City, witnessing the sons of heaven facing dangers in the Demon Forest.

His heart followed their experiences, experiencing ups and downs.

He was engrossed when suddenly called over by Wen Sentai.

When he heard Wen Sentai’s words, he wasn’t actually surprised.

Just because Wen Xu, once saved by King Jialan, was Second Elder’s son.

Now his actions undoubtedly expressed gratitude for King Jialan’s saving of Wen Xu, naturally reasonable.

But it was only when Hillsey heard the words from his Guild President that he was truly shocked.

Because since Hillsey could remember, he had never seen this group of proud mages treat anyone so well, aside from the Church.

Don’t underestimate the construction of a mansion, which for the Magic Guild is as insignificant as a drop in the ocean, hardly worth mentioning.

But in reality?

Indeed, apart from the Church, the Magic Guild had never actively shown favor to anyone like this.

And they even proactively bore the costs of constructing the mansion and setting up the Magic Array.

Just as Hillsey found his President’s sudden decision to be inconceivable, he had unknowingly arrived outside the gates of the Construction Bureau.

Unlike the coldness along the way, at the moment the entrance of the Construction Bureau was lively with groups of people gathered.

These people seemed to be discussing something at the entrance, making it impossible for Hillsey to approach the gate.

As Hillsey appeared somewhat baffled, the door of the Construction Bureau suddenly opened.

The crowd instantly became excited:

"Here he comes, here he comes."

"May I ask what the Construction Master has to say?"

"We’ve come with sincerity, please let the Construction Master meet with us."

"Yes, yes, please let us in."

Kohen, the manager of the Construction Bureau, looked at the crowd of people in front of him, whom he usually could never offend, and showed a helpless, bitter smile:

"Everyone, please calm down and listen to what I have to say."

As the crowd’s discussions gradually quieted, Kohen continued:

"The Construction Master has spoken."

"The costs of building the residence for His Highness King Jialan will be borne by the Jialan Royal Family."

"You don’t have to worry about the Jialan Royal Family treating His Highness King Jialan poorly."

"Furthermore, the Construction Master asked me to convey his gratitude to all of you for your kindness on behalf of His Highness King Jialan."

"However, everyone please return home."

Once these words were spoken, the crowd instantly became discontented.

Each person scrambled to come forward to Kohen and said:

"Duke Clayton wishes to see the Construction Master, please inform him on behalf of the manager."

"Besides construction, there must be something we can help with."

"Exactly, exactly."

"We all hope to do something for King Jialan, please give us a chance, Construction Master."

...

Seeing the enthusiastic crowd in front of him, Kohen suddenly felt an incredibly surreal feeling.

When did such a small department like theirs, responsible for constructing mansions, suddenly become so popular?

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly:

"The Jia Commander’s Mansion has a top-grade piece of Elf Wood."

"This Elf Wood carries a natural fragrance and has benefits for sleep and mental clarity."

"For this construction of King Jialan’s residence, the Jia Mansion is willing to offer this Elf Wood to make a bed for King Jialan, providing what little help we can."

Upon hearing this, Kohen couldn’t help but brighten up.

This Elf Wood is the kind of rarity that is hard to come by!

Even though the Construction Bureau was backed by the Jialan Empire, it’s not easy to acquire such rare materials.

Hearing this offer, he immediately lit up with delight and said:

"May I ask who you are?"

The man replied with some pride:

"I am the steward of the Jia Mansion, sent here under orders from the master to report."

Upon hearing this, Kohen was overjoyed:

"Great, great, great!"

"The Jia Commander certainly has a heart."

Then he pushed open the door and said:

"Please step inside; the Construction Master will certainly be very pleased."

The man laughed and said:

"Thank you for the trouble."

With that, he disappeared behind the doors of the Construction Bureau under the surprised gaze of everyone.

Only then did the crowd suddenly react, and immediately someone else shouted out:

"I’m the steward of the Marquis’ Mansion."

"Our mansion possesses several top-grade Beast Pearls that only appear once in a millennium; they can maintain brilliance for a thousand years, as bright as daylight at night."

"Our mansion willingly offers these to assist with the construction of King Jialan’s residence, please don’t refuse, Construction Master."

"I’m the steward of Prince Chong’s Mansion, Prince Chong has ordered me to present a million gold coins and bring the finest craftsmen from Ao Sheng Empire, please accept to help build King Jialan’s residence."

"I’m the representative of Bauhinia Flower Commerce, currently gathering the finest building materials from various empires, they can arrive in Jialan City within three days to offer more options for the Construction Master."

"Viscount Jarvis voluntarily offers financial support of five million gold coins for the construction of King Jialan’s residence."

"Also from Earl Nelt’s Mansion..."

Seeing each one eagerly naming themselves, who would have thought that they all seemed fearful that their gifts wouldn’t be accepted?

Since when did ’gift-giving’ become so competitive?

Hillsey watched the crowd at the door, almost crazed, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say.

Initially, he thought his President’s actions were already exaggerated enough.

But now, witnessing it with his own eyes, he deeply understood.

The influence brought by King Jialan might far exceed anyone in the Jialan Empire, including that lofty Emperor.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the doors of the Construction Bureau and turned around, urgently departing along the path he came.
