Chapter 492: Foothold
Fieldsvae listed a long string of place names. Seeing Li Wei listening in astonishment, he explained, "These place names were all named by Various Factions in recent months. For example, the Locke Mountains were named by Lord Duke Will, who spent 50 points of World Reputation, as well as the Ness River, Gumodo Basin, and so on. Even the name Korndorf Fortress was named by Kahndorf, consuming 20 points of World Reputation."
"So even if we conquer it, unless we are willing to consume 40 points of World Reputation to rename it, this fortress will forever be called Kahndorf Fortress, unless the world undergoes a massive change."
"In short, as I see it, this war might be delayed due to the attention of Various Factions, but in two or three months, or within half a year, a larger-scale war will definitely break out. Neither Duke Will nor Duke Kaidel will give up Kahndorf Fortress."
"If it were before today, I would advise you not to make futile efforts. But after today, I must say a fair word for you. Li Wei, many people have underestimated you. To me, Poison Scorpion used to be Just a nobody on the roadside, but now, I actually really wish I had such an icy beauty under my command—capable on the battlefield, capable in the kitchen, and most importantly, exceedingly loyal. Ha, no offense intended. I have also heard of your fine reputation as General Wheel, and now I can only say I'm Green with Envy."
Speaking up to here, Fieldsvae hesitated for a moment. "Li Wei, to repay your life-saving grace, and also for our Faction, I am willing to request Lord Archmage Parker to help you build a Magic Power Mine. Of course, you have to offer sufficient benefits. What do you think?"
"Thank you, but I think we can still wait a bit longer. As you know, I also have a genius Spellcaster under my command, who is of course also my woman. Her name is Hathaway. In 45 days, she will return via Resurrection, and I believe she can solve this problem."
Li Wei somewhat arrogantly rejected the other party's good intentions.
He certainly couldn't say that he already had a Three-Star Mana Mine and was currently building a second one.
"Alright, that is your freedom."
