Summoned into a Magical World at Max Level

Chapter 20: Initial Fund

In the palace.

Lifa felt the fresh air coming in from the window. She had thought through it and accepted it, but there was now a new worry.

“Charles is indeed a bold minister, and a person that Lord Rennes thinks highly of. I naturally believe in Lord Rennes.

“However, what I’m worried about is the state of the kingdom’s treasury. It has been emptied due to the war. Local finances are also very tight.

“But fortunately, the Noah Kingdom is a large agricultural nation, so we have managed to accumulate a lot of food.

“That’s why I feel that we should rest for a few years and wait for the domestic economy to recover first before making other plans.”

“Your idea is good, but there is a problem – time!” Rennes stroked his blonde hair that had been blown into disarray by the wind and said while leaning against the windowsill.

“Right now, the various large kingdoms and duchies in the eastern region of Arnold are vigorously developing, especially the Raytheon Empire. We need to take this gamble!” Rennes looked into Lifa’s eyes and said.

“But, if we do that, the food we have now won’t be enough!” Lifa anxiously said.

“At present, how much is the yield per acre of the magical plants produced in the plantations of the Noah Kingdom?” Rennes suddenly asked a strange question.

“Magical plants? About 200 pounds. Why are you asking this, Lord Rennes?” Lifa was a little baffled.

Noticing Lifa’s confusion, Rennes clenched his fist, and a bunch of magic flowers appeared in his hand.

He continued, “After my “Introduction to Magic” spreads in the kingdom, it will eventually become popular on the entire Arnold Continent.

As more and more people awaken their magic power, the demand for magic power from those mages will also increase.”

As he spoke, Rennes blew on the flowers in his hand.

In an instant, the magic flowers turned into pure magic power. Along with the morning wind that blew in from outside the window, it surrounded Lifa.

In this moment, Lifa, who was surrounded by the magic airflow, felt like every cell in her body was cheering and jumping.

She took a deep breath. She felt as if the bottleneck that had kept her stuck at the level of Grandmage had loosened.

“This world is essentially a magical world!”

Rennes thought for a while and said with a smile, “What if the crop yield of magical plants in the Noah Kingdom can be increased to around 600 to 800 pounds per acre?”

“What! Lord Rennes, is that possible?”

Lifa’s eyes widened at Rennes’ words.

Then, she immediately realized the implications behind his words, and her gem-like eyes gleamed with disbelief and excitement.

Sensing Lifa’s joy, Rennes knew that the construction of the port was now all but set in stone.

In the game “Light of Glory”, the cultivation of magical plants was a specialty skill of a production class.

And now, he happened to have come to a real magical world.

Not only was the “Introduction to Magic” effective in this world, it could also set off a wave of revolution in the Arnold Continent, according to Lifa.

Therefore, focusing on the cultivation of magical plants was definitely a feasible plan.

Moreover, he had let Lifa experience the sensation firsthand.

Speaking of which, in the magical world where the Noah Kingdom was located, the inhabitants seemed to focus more on the development of combat magic.

Compared to the rich and varied combat spells, the amount of production-type magic spells was almost zero.

That was evident from the pitiful crop yield of wheat, not to mention the crop yield of magical plants that grew by absorbing magic power. Their crop yield per acre was only about 200 pounds.

Even if he just cast a simple spell like the one just now, he could easily surpass this amount.

The difference was especially glaring in comparison to the situation in the game “Light of Glory”.

After all, besides combat-class players, there were also a large number of production-class players in the game who were not inferior to combat-class players in the slightest, be it in quantity or quality.

In some situations, production-class players were even more important than combat-class players.

There were many types of production skills, such as gathering, alchemy, tailoring, forging, plant cultivation…

In his previous life, Rennes did not become the strongest player in the world just by being invincible in combat.

He had also reached max-level in production skills.

Now, Rennes was also in possession of this plant-cultivation magic.

Moreover, other than magical plants, Rennes had also discovered a type of magical food.

But he had come up with so many ideas over the past few days that it was unrealistic to implement them all at once.

It would be better to take things slowly.

“Lord Rennes, you’re simply amazing. With these magical plants, our Noah Kingdom will no longer lack magical resources.

“When the port is opened, we can even sell these magical plants to other nations at a high price.

“This way, we will have extra money to do other things.

“However, that is something that will only happen in the latter half of the year, maybe even next year. The most pressing matter now is to find the money to develop the port…” Thinking of the port, Lifa’s head suddenly hurt again.

Although they could sell food for gold coins, it was not realistic to sell all the food at once.

Therefore, it was very difficult to raise the initial fund for the port construction.

“The initial fund? Simple! I know where to get the gold from,” Rennes said with a mysterious smile.

“Where, Lord Rennes?” Lifa asked curiously.

“Let me keep that as a secret for now. But I’ll definitely get you the money within five days!” Rennes said with a faint smile. Then, he excused himself.

“I’m so curious. What exactly is Lord Rennes’ plan?”

It must be known that building a large port required a lot of manpower and material resources.

Even a conservative estimate amounted to hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

From ransacking the Lucas family’s residence in the past two days, they had confiscated close to 20,000 gold coins, but this was at most a-tenth of what they needed. It was far from enough!

Now, she could only choose to believe in Lord Rennes!

Looking at Rennes’ back, Lifa leaned her small head on her hand, deep in thought.

The development of the matter was beyond Lifa’s expectations. In less than two days – in fact, it only took a little more than one day – Lifa already knew what method Rennes had in mind.

It turned out that it had to do with “Introduction to Magic”.

Previously, Lifa had discussed with Rennes regarding the matter of spreading the “Introduction to Magic” to the public.

Rennes had agreed, but due to the importance of the matter, Lifa was still weighing the pros and cons.

Therefore, the “Introduction to Magic” manual was still a state secret for now.

If Rennes wanted to sell the book for money, Lifa definitely had no objection.

The book was written by Lord Rennes in the first place. Moreover, Lord Rennes was doing so for the sake of Noah Kingdom’s development.

And what did Noah Kingdom’s corrupt nobles wished for above anything?

They did not lack money nor women, nor almost anything else.

Even so, a lot of nobles were still not satisfied, because they did not have a talent for magic and could not obtain magic power.

So, they were eager to supplement this need of theirs in other ways.
