Chapter 6 Audience with the King (II)

Kej smiled and said: "Master Sean need not take it to heart; you are concerned and thus flustered. I was almost deceived by him as well. He spoke with such detail that it seemed there truly was such a place. From my estimation, a portion of what he said must be factual; otherwise, he could not have conjured such a finely crafted lie in such a short time. However, he does not reside in the depths of the wilderness but rather in another place unknown to us. The continent is indeed vast, with many areas we are unaware of. Nevertheless, he did save my life, holds no hostility towards my Holy Dragon Empire, and judging by his calm demeanor while lying just now, I find him rather admirable.

In any case, the Haisen Empire lacks the resources to manage it, so let him give it a try. Whether it turns out well or poorly will depend on his abilities. If successful, he will become the king of a vassal state of our Holy Dragon Empire; if he fails, whether he lives or dies will be up to fate.

If successful, he will become the king of a vassal state of our Holy Dragon Empire; if he fails, whether he lives or dies will be up to fate. As for that estate and the five hundred thousand purple gold coins, let them be a reward for saving my life. The baron title is also meant to be seen by the subjects of other empires, to let them know that I am a person who rewards and punishes clearly, so that I am not seen as stingy. Moreover, my life is quite valuable."

At that moment, I thought this emperor was quite acceptable; as long as he did not provoke me, I would not bring him down in the future. When Li Jiawang heard the emperor ask if he had any other requests, he immediately looked at Kaiji with eager eyes, adhering to the principle of taking advantage of a good deal, and said: "Your Majesty, I am currently penniless; could you spare me some money to spend?"

Seeing that Li Jiawang had nothing more to say, Kaiji waved his hand and said, "You may leave now. Take up residence in the baronial estate I have granted you. In a few days, I will officially confer upon you the title of Baron of Haishen. At that time, you will be able to set off to take up your post in the territory."

As Li Jiawang was racking his brains and was about to run out of things to say, Cage finally ceased his inquiries, and Master Sean also closed his eyes

Because he knows how terrifying the purchasing power of purple gold coins is on the continent, the currency exchange on the continent is as follows: 1 purple crystal coin = 100 purple gold coins, 1 purple gold coin = 100 gold coins, 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins, 1 silver coin = 100 copper coins. One copper coin is equivalent to one dime on Earth, and an average civilian spends only a few dozen silver coins a month. Thus, it is evident how immense the purchasing power of 500,000 purple gold coins is.

They possess a variety of special abilities; however, most of them are vassals or slaves of my clan. Only a few prodigies are accepted as disciples by the prominent figures of my clan, joining us to become members of the Hua clan, enjoying all the rights that our clan possesses, such as free access to our foundational cultivation techniques and training resources

Li Jiawang felt immediately delighted upon hearing Kaiqi say he could give him 500,000. He originally thought that Kaiqi would give him at most 100,000, so he never expected to receive 500,000. How could he not be happy? As for his mention of wanting several million, that was just a casual remark; he had never truly considered it himself

Upon hearing this, Cage was taken aback and thought to himself: "How ungrateful! I was just being polite, and now you are making demands and even asking me for money. Is there something wrong? I only ask others for money; I never give money to anyone else." However, since the words had already been spoken, it would be inappropriate to refuse. He unhappily asked, "So how much do you want?" At the same time, he thought that he would find an opportunity another day to make you repay it all.

Li Jiawang said proudly, without a hint of embarrassment or anxiety: "The barrier where we reside and the - map - book is extremely vast, housing nearly one million people from my Huazhu ethnicity, and there are also some other races present, totaling around one hundred million people!"

After Li Jiawang left, Master Sean opened his eyes and smiled at Kaiji, saying, "Your Majesty, are you really planning to let him go to the Haisen Territory? When he mentioned coming from the depths of the wilderness, I was quite surprised, thinking I could learn more about the wilderness from him! I didn't expect that everything he said was a lie. I truly don't know where he is from; he has quite the audacity to lie in front of us. It's really beyond comprehension, and I almost fell for his trick."

We established a vast empire, and I am the heir of a minor noble within this empire. I was supposed to inherit my title in due time and enjoy a comfortable life, but unexpectedly, due to accidentally entering a forbidden area of my family, I was unexpectedly transported here.

Li Jiawang, having not yet thought things through, could only brace himself to respond. Although his face remained impassive, his mind was fervently praying to somehow get through this. At the same time, he thought, "Damn it, I must take control of my own destiny in the future; I can no longer leave my life in the hands of others. Once I get through today, I will quickly find a place to develop my own power and establish my own armed force to protect my safety. To hell with that dog emperor; I saved your life, yet you question me as if I were a criminal. Once I become strong, I will pull you down from your throne and taste the flavor of being an emperor myself." If Cage were to know that Li Jiawang was thinking these thoughts while speaking to him, would he immediately decide to eliminate him?

Cage immediately shook his head and said, "That is impossible"

Li Jiawang glanced at Kaiji's unfriendly expression, lowered his head, and muttered softly about being stingy. He then weakly asked, "So how much can you give?"

Upon hearing that he was granted a piece of land, Li Jiawang was immediately overjoyed, truly a case of finding a treasure after much searching, effortlessly obtained. He had been contemplating how to find a safe territory for development when the emperor conferred upon him the title of baron and bestowed a piece of land. It was indeed like a pie falling from the sky; he never expected to have such a stroke of luck. Although the title of baron is not high, he is still a noble and possesses a vast territory of his own, which is far better than being an unsuccessful common university student on Earth.

The plains within the barrier are vast and boundless, with extremely fertile land where a large quantity of grain crops is cultivated. In areas rich in magical elements, numerous magical plants are also planted. At the same time, our clan has raised a significant number of herbivorous magical beasts for our consumption

Upon hearing this, Kaiji's expression changed repeatedly, and then he inquired with Li Jiawang about some specific details of his life in the wilderness.

After a moment, Cage calmly said to Li Jiawang, "Since you are awake, it is no longer appropriate for you to stay in the palace. I will gift you a manor in the suburbs of the imperial capital as your foothold in the capital. At the same time, I will confer upon you the title of Baron of the Empire and grant you a piece of territory. I wonder if you have any other requests"

Cage considered for a moment and said, "I can give you a maximum of 500,000 purple gold coins"

Li Jiawang thought for a moment and said, "I don't need too much, just a few million purple gold coins will suffice." Upon hearing Li Jiawang's casual remark, Kaiji was infuriated. The way he mentioned a few million purple gold coins sounded so easy, as if they were just a pile of worthless paper. Yet, that amount represented one-twentieth of the empire's annual tax revenue! Even a grand duke does not earn several million purple gold coins in a year!

Master Sean smiled and shook his head, choosing not to speak further
