I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

116 Feis Street

At the entrance of the Carl family mansion.

Lis and Mora stepped down from the carriage while Bernie did not follow; these were not his areas of expertise. It was better to leave everything to Lis and Mora and return to the academy's workshop to work on the Combined Magic Pattern earlier.

Looking up at the luxurious villa before him, Lis felt somewhat emotional.

The last time he had been here, he had been just recently reborn as little Carami, and now he was respected as a Silver Mage, though only two short months had passed.

The return of the Dragon King?

Haha, Lis certainly did not entertain such thoughts; after all, he had come specifically to discuss a partnership with Mora's father, Vim Carl, so such an event should not occur.

The moment Mora got out of the carriage, he called over the family servants and asked,

"Where is Father now?"

Although the servant was curious as to why the second young master was returning home at this time, he still honestly replied:

"The master is currently on the second floor, probably discussing matters with young master Jon."

Hearing Jon's name, Mora's brow furrowed slightly, but he did not say much else and led Lis straight through the main gate.

Lis knew who this Jon was, Jon Karl, Mora's older brother and the heir to the Carl family.

However, the relationship between him and Mora was not very good, especially considering the issues of inheriting the great legacy of the Golden Vine Flower Commerce.

But their relationship was only somewhat stiff; it hadn't reached the point of a life-and-death struggle.

Mora had a servant take Lis to the parlor to rest for a while, as he went to the study first to explain the situation to his father.

Lis was not in a hurry, resting on the sofa in the parlor, sipping lightly from a white jade-colored tea cup, and enjoying the exquisite desserts on the small table in front of him.

Although Lis did not particularly like the bitter taste of the tea, it was quite nice when paired with the sweet treats.

Mora had been gone for half a day and had not returned; just as Lis thought something unexpected might have happened, the door to the parlor was gently pushed open by a servant.

The first to walk in was Mora's father, Baron Vim Karl.

Dressed in luxurious noble attire, his slightly graying hair neatly groomed, he had a strong presence but his face also bore a somewhat gentle smile.

Mora followed his father into the room, but he looked rather upset.

Soon, Lis understood why, as Mora's brother Jon Karl also followed them in, appearing to be a very astute young man. Though he wore a smile, there was a somewhat sharp sense about him.

Before Mora could speak, Jon stepped forward and extended his hand in a friendly manner towards Lis, saying,

"It's been a long time, Viscount Kane."

"Hello."

Lis shook Jon's hand, maintaining a neutral demeanor, as he was already aware of the tension between him and Mora.

Jon, unconcerned, walked over and sat down on a sofa nearby.

Baron Karl had already taken a seat on the central sofa, smiling and gesturing for Lis and Mora to sit beside him.

"I've heard you and Mora are looking to start a Guild together, is that right?"

Having visited Mora's house quite frequently, Vim Karl and Lis were already familiar with each other, naturally dispensing with many formalities.

"Yes, Uncle Vim, I have some ideas, but would still appreciate the help of you and the Golden Vine Flower Commerce."\\p>

Lis didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his visit today, and it was clear that he sought assistance from the top five guilds in the Kingdom, specifically the Golden Vine Flower Commerce, not just the Carl family.

The difference was significant!

Although the Carl family currently controlled the operations of the Golden Vine Flower Commerce, and Vim Carl was the chairman, the guild was not solely dictated by the Carl family.

From Bernie, it was known that the Carl family owned approximately thirty percent of the shareholding in the Golden Vine Flower Commerce.

Thus, Lis wanted to secure a commitment from Baron Carl to gain support from the Golden Vine Flower Commerce, not just the assistance of the Carl family.

This scenario was different from that of the Hade family. Radiant United Commerce also had many shareholders, but they were primarily Court Nobles from Feis Kingdom.

Duke Hade, as the representative of the Court Nobles and a confidant of His Majesty the King, had significant influence within Radiant United Commerce, and naturally, others wouldn't oppose Duke Hade's plans.

"Mora said you guys are planning to primarily deal in Master Daher's Enchanted Products?"

Vim said, smiling, as that was the reason for his interest.

As the most famous Magic Rune Master in Bright City, Yousef Daher's creations were naturally sought after by everyone.

Vim was not worried that Lis would deceive him in this matter.

However, he found it curious why Daher would entrust his Enchantment products to the new guild that Lis and his team were preparing to establish.

Lis glanced at Mora, realizing that the fellow had not yet informed Baron Carl about the specifics.

Gathering his thoughts, Lis seriously said,

"You are mistaken, we are not directly handling Master Daher's personal creations, but rather Enchanted Products made from new Magic Patterns created by the Master, ones that significantly reduce the Magic Power consumption of Elemental Crystals."

That was the plan for Lis and his team; with Bernie there as a legitimate disciple, they first pinned the credit for creating Magic Patterns on Daher, so it wouldn't be too surprising for others when they found out.

After all, for a Magic Rune Master like Daher, creating a new Magic Pattern wasn't considered something extraordinarily shocking.

"Oh, is that so?"

Hearing Lis say this, Vim's interest grew even stronger.

Although Master Daher's creations were valuable, the problem was that they were too scarce to serve as a main product for a guild; they were best used at auctions to attract popularity.

If it was a new Enchanted Product that could be mass-produced, that was much more intriguing.

"At the end of the day, I haven't seen your products yet, have I?"

Vim said to Lis, smiling, his words carrying a clear implication.

"Master Daher is still adjusting the Magic Patterns these days, so it might take some time before the products are ready."

"However, I can tell you that one of our planned products can adjust the indoor temperature, along with several other rather precious decorative items."

Jon, who had been listening all this time, became a bit restless, repeatedly looking towards Baron Carl.

Baron Carl remained composed and asked with a smile,

"I naturally trust Master Daher's flair, and I'm sure it will be a good business."

"But why establish a separate guild? It might be more efficient to just entrust these Enchanted Products to our Golden Vine Flower Commerce for production and sales; you'd save time, and assuredly not a fraction of the profits intended for you and Master Daher would be lost."

"No need, the three of us just wanted to start a little business on our own, and that's also why Master Daher supports us." Lis said, smiling.

Old man, thinking I would hand over the "Self-Charging" Magic Pattern products to you, dream on!
