I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Early morning, Kane Mansion.

Lis, with the help of maid Rossi, dressed neatly and went downstairs with Angela to enjoy breakfast.

Upon entering the dining room, he saw Bernie already seated at the table, enjoying the breakfast prepared by Lis's family cook without any sense of unfamiliarity.

Lis didn't mind; Bernie and Mora often came to their house, and the servants were familiar with these two friends of the young master.

"You came so early today?"

Lis yawned, still not completely awake; research in magic had kept him up late again, easily immersing him.

"It's not early anymore. I haven't been here for a long time. How come your cook's skills have improved?"

Bernie methodically enjoyed the lotus seed and bird egg soup in front of him, giving it high praise.

"I taught him well; I'll prepare a feast for you next time."

Lis picked up a piece of white bread next to him, spread some jam on it, and began to relish it.

"Who would have thought our Lord Viscount could also cook meals?"

Bernie joked, relaxing slightly in the presence of Lis and Mora, unlike his usual serious demeanor.

The still-drowsy Angela also seemed to smell the aroma of the food and slowly climbed down from Lis's shoulder onto the table, wanting to eat.

Lis, somewhat helplessly, grabbed the confused little creature and placed her in front of the breakfast that had been specially prepared for her.

The cook in the house had now gotten used to preparing two extra portions of food for Little Bat, wondering why it was always so hungry.

Bernie curiously watched the white Little Bat, wondering if it was a Magic Beast kept by Lis?

"Speaking of which, hasn't Mora come over yet?"

Bernie finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth, and asked,

"I had someone notify Mora yesterday; he said he would come in the morning."

Lis paused, then continued,

"But you know him; who knows when he'll actually show up."

Bernie shrugged, saying,

"True."

After the two enjoyed breakfast, they spent half the day in the living room on the soft sofa sharing knowledge about Magic Rune until they finally saw Mora walk in, looking exhausted.

"Why so late? What have you been up to?"

Lis smiled at Mora and teased.

"Oh, don't even mention it!"

As soon as Mora entered, he flopped onto an empty sofa, complaining,

"Couldn't you have said something earlier? Just when your servant came to notify me, I was deeply involved with that lady!"

"So, I interrupted you?"

Lis unapologetically said, knowing you're always up to these things. How could you have any spare time?

"Not really, but the meal just wasn't great, you know. Still, I'm quite good at setting the mood."

Mora struck a handsome pose, which would have been perfect if he could take his hand off his waist.

"Alright, let's stop there; I called you here for something important."

"I guessed as much since Bernie is here; long time no see."

Mora greeted Bernie.

"Remember the gift I said I would prepare for you last time; it's regarding that."

"Oh?"

At that moment, Mora perked up with interest.

Lis didn't keep him in suspense, and revealed the entire plan of applying the "Self-Charging" Magic Rune to civilian enchanted products to Bernie.

Upon hearing half of it, Mora straightened up on the sofa, his eyes keenly fixed on Lis.

Being born into a wealthy merchant family, he naturally understood the enormous significance of the "Self-Charging" Magic Rune.

"Is this true?"

Mora looked to Bernie—not that he didn't trust Lis, but the news was so shocking that he couldn't help seeking confirmation elsewhere.

"It really is like this, I and my teacher have both seen the 'Self-Charging' Magic Rune, and there are no issues with its effectiveness."

"Moreover, Master Daher will help us improve this rune, combining it with the effects of the 'Hidden' rune, which will be more beneficial for us to protect this secret," Bernie said with certainty.

Reassured, Mora sighed deeply, leaning back on the sofa, and began to ponder something, his fingers twirling. At that moment, his shrewdness shone through, a stark contrast to his previous listless demeanor.

Lis and Bernie didn't disturb him, they didn't want to get too involved in business operations—it was best left to Mora.

Despite Mora's usual lazy, merry dissipation, both Lis and Bernie knew well his astonishing talent and savvy in business, not inferior to those who had been immersed in this field for much longer.

However, Mora had an elder brother overshadowing him, with most of the family's assets likely to be inherited by him, so Mora had previously contemplated utilizing the power of the Golden Vine Flower Guild to strike out on his own and even wanted to pull Lis and Bernie along with him.

But now, with the plan ready and the product advantage being tremendous, Mora became rather cautious.

After all, it involved the epoch-making "Self-Charging" Magic Rune, which was even more revolutionary than he had previously imagined.

If all went well, this guild founded by the trio could even become the largest in the Feis Kingdom, or even the entire Fanor Continent!

However, the pressure from all aspects would also be unprecedentedly enormous; Mora had to consider every detail meticulously.

After all, this was a venture invited by his close friend Lis, far more significant than any of his prior minor schemes.

It was obvious that Lis would involve him in such a major matter solely because of their friendship; otherwise, collaborating directly with the kingdom or those duke domains would be stronger, wouldn't it?

Moreover, with such favorable conditions and thorough preparation, if it failed, Mora wasn't sure if he could face Lis again.

"Don't feel too much pressure,"

Lis said casually, his relaxed demeanor showing that he understood his friend was overthinking.

"At the start, everything must be kept secret, especially the existence of the 'Self-Charging' Magic Rune and the whole product's cost."

"Besides us three and Master Daher, I don't plan on letting others know in the short term."

"As a disguise, let outsiders believe that Daher has developed an efficient magic-preserving rune, cheaper than using elemental crystals directly, and it's only us operating it."

"This way, it won't stir up much turmoil in the short term, and once we have built up enough strength, we can gradually expand into other areas."

"Hmm."

With Lis's analysis, Mora felt much less pressure. If things went as Lis proposed, indeed, there wouldn't be too much pressure.

"What do I need to do now?"

Mora proactively asked, unable to deny the excitement and fresh thrill he felt upon hearing the plan, trembling and sweating in anticipation, as if it were his very first time!

"There are many things that need your attention, Bernie and I aren't good at handling them,"

"But the most important thing right now..."

Lis said, smiling:

"Let's first visit your father, the president of the Golden Vine Flower Guild, Lord Baron Carl."
