The First Magic World War

Chapter 142 140. Silver Pigeon Fort Maze-ification Complete

Belisa couldn't believe her own ears and added, "Really?"Charles shrugged his shoulders and answered, "Of course, it's true."

Belisa jumped up excitedly and hurriedly ran out; after all, she was still a young girl, not some seasoned politician. When she was happy, she couldn't hide it.

Charles gently touched the diary in his arms, feeling very pleased.

Two days ago, Silver Pigeon Fort had completed its maze-ification, and he no longer needed to stay confined here.

Having completed the maze-ification, Charles had received his deserved rewards. A secret passage had formed between Machu Picchu and Silver Pigeon Fort, though not in the literal sense, but more as an "overlap" between the two cities.

Any corner of Machu Picchu could lead to Silver Pigeon Fort, and residents of Silver Pigeon Fort could find themselves in Machu Picchu through any street.

Over the past few days, Charles had sent all of Baron Philedrica's assets, including gold from Aegeus, Fu Er's paper money, and extraordinary objects, to Machu Picchu, hidden inside a second-layer maze. Without his guidance or permission, no one could find these treasures, not even if they

Charles felt somewhat helpless but could understand the situation.

Being able to receive his first reward during the war, rather than being promoted for his merits years after the war, was already the result of the efforts of capable individuals.

Although Mama Karen did not explicitly say it, Charles believed that Earl Brittany's power must have played a role.

Yes, perhaps Menilman's senior's influence was there too.

Although he was born in the Behemoth Duchy, he was now considered a genuine person of Fars, even working and living in the capital, Strasbourg. Hence, Charles could refuse the duke's messenger and disregard the duchess's maid, but he could not turn away the empire's envoy who came to present the awards. They would definitely make him go to rescue the duke, and Charles could only go with the flow.

Charles stood on the terrace, enjoying the breeze for a while, when another lady came to visit.

Upon seeing Charles, Miss Philedrica, the beastwoman, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "How did you become even more formidable?"

"How does hiding in your bedroom every day make you stronger? What kind of logic is that?"

Charles had been dueling with Cyrus in the Dreamscape every day, which dramatically increased his strength, making him far more powerful after just a few days of absence. No wonder Philedrica was astonished.

Charles smiled and said, "If you wish, you can also train in your bedroom."

Philedrica showed a wary expression and said, "Please do not consider me for this!"

"I do not intend to give up my career as an assassin."

Charles shrugged his shoulders and asked, "What brings you here?"

Philedrica's expression darkened slightly as she said, "You might not know yet, but the southern Orc tribes have joined Byron's side. Now, Byron Empire, Black Phoenix Dynasty, the southern Orcs, and Southern Seraph Territory have formed the New Order International Alliance to oppose the Fars Empire."

"As a beastwoman, I might not be able to stay in Fars anymore, so I came to say goodbye in advance."

Charles felt a bit sad too. Although their first meeting had been a life-or-death affair, and they could not yet be considered true friends, they had fought side by side after all. He said softly, "I wish you a safe journey. Here are twenty Aegeus as my personal gift to you."

Philedrica didn't stand on ceremony with Charles and, after taking the money, she turned and left.

A little while later, Taoles also came to visit. She was much closer to Charles, undoubtedly because of the connection through Menierman Sumei. Taoles came because, before leaving, Philedrica handed over her directly commanded combat squad to her. Taoles came to ask how she should handle this situation.

Without much hesitation, Charles said, "I'm going to perform another expansion. Take Philedrica's team for now; I'll have further arrangements soon."

The day passed uneventfully.

Early the next morning, Charles did not wait for Cyrus's siege; in fact, he no longer needed Cyrus to attack Silver Pigeon Fort. However, he did receive a troop from Strasbourg.

To Charles's surprise, Louis Simi and Ross Bard were also in the group.

He had almost forgotten about the two businessmen.
