Meat from a platinum-tier magical beast?

Watson did not react to Ron's words, while Lophis had a look of disbelief on his face.

Lophis had only heard of and had never seen a platinum-tier magical beast. Such a powerful magical beast did not need to guard the house and was worshipped as one's ancestor. However, they had chosen to roast a platinum-tier beast's meat on the stove. Was that not a little extravagant? No, that was beyond the realms of luxury; one could say it was insane.

Lophis heard Anna's explanation before he could recover from the shock of Ron's words.

“Do not try that on me, Ron. We've prepared many things for Young Master Watson! We've used our wishes to upgrade some of the sun and moon gems we've chosen to platinum-tier. We also went to Master Antonio specifically to inquire about obtaining water from the Spring of Life, and we've also successfully extracted a small bottle with his assistance. You should be aware that exposing the Spring of Life to air for a few hours will cause it to lose its effect and turn into ordinary water. So, Young Master Watson, you must come with us.”

They were not only walking about platinum-tier magical beast meat but there was also the Spring of Life?

Lophis could not help but look around him. He heard that the Spring of Life was a mysterious stream of water in the elven kingdom in the south. If one were to drink from the Spring of Life, they would be immortal. However, that person's strength would be frozen to that moment for eternity. There were some side effects, but its benefits outweighed everything else.

Unfortunately, the elven kingdom was very protective of the Spring of Life. The King had sent people to the elven kingdom several times to request a bottle of water from the Spring of Life to extend his life, but they were all turned down. Only Antonio had drunk from the Spring of Life. He had no idea how Anna, the woman in front of him, had managed to get it.

That was something that not even the King could accomplish.

“If you do that, Anna, I will go all out. Worst case scenario, I will have just wasted the wishes I made today. When I return, I will make a wish to transform the platinum-tier meat into the meat from a dragon and a phoenix of equal level.”

“Okay, then the Mage Guild will forfeit all our wishes today. We will work hard to eliminate the side effects of the Spring of Life so that Young Master Watson can live an everlasting life without any curses.”

Ron and Anna stared at each other and fought incessantly, like when Emperor Cluck fought with the Golden Flash. Lophis was already perplexed during that process.

Even the dragons and phoenixes would want to rid themselves of the aftereffects of the Spring of Life. How would he not understand what they said?

“Okay, let's call it a day. I recommend combining the feasts. Whether they are mercenaries or mages, they are all part of Monte Town, part of Mount Creation. It makes no difference who invites me! I will be available around six in the evening. I will also take my family to the banquet that you have planned. Is that all right?” Watson motioned with his hand. He stood helplessly as Anna and Ron argued.

“Very well, we shall do as you wish, Young Master Watson.”

Anna's face was slightly dissatisfied, but she still spoke respectfully.

She had not seen Watson in a long time, ever since he sent her and Ron back to Monte Town to help with the transformation. Unlike the others, the Mage Guild had tried to harm Blackmoon Town. She had to pay more, and the only way she could improve her standing in Watson's eyes was to work harder. The banquet was an excellent opportunity for the nobles to get to know one another.

It was all Ron's fault that her plan had gone awry.

Anna snorted softly and walked out of the garden in a huff as she glared at Ron. No matter what she did, Ron always seemed to oppose her. She had planned to invite Watson to the banquet first, but Ron insisted on interfering, transforming a noble and elegant gathering of mages into a vulgar gathering of warriors.

“It is inappropriate for Miss Anna and Sir Ron to argue about who should treat Young Master Watson to a meal. If you can't decide who is better, perhaps you can give Torch Town a chance?”

The mayor of Torch Town, Lubin, and Gerant walked toward the garden together, accompanied by hearty laughter.

“Greetings, Lord Mayors.”

Anna and Ron bowed respectfully in the direction of the newcomers. Gerant adjusted the white flower he wore on his chest. With a slight sigh of dissatisfaction, he said, “Lubin, you have guts. Monte Town invited Young Master Watson to a banquet today; what does it have to do with Torch Town? Stay at the back of the queue.”

Then, Gerant approached Watson, took a stack of documents from his pocket, and handed them to the younger man. “This is Monte Town's income over the last few days. According to your plan, the town will primarily grow high-quality fruits, crops, and medicinal herbs. The majority of the medicinal herbs in Monte Town are now gold-tier, with only a small percentage remaining silver-tier. I estimate there are more than 100,000 medicinal herbs, with a total value of ten million gold coins!”

“Torch Town is roughly the same. You have assigned forging to us. Furthermore, you have distributed the Wish for the World ring to the entire world. We only need to make a wish during the forging process, so it is extremely convenient. We made a net profit of ten million gold coins in just a few days! A hundred thousand of those can be used as tax for the kingdom this year. As for the rest of the money—” He chuckled.

Lubin did not finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

After he had earned ten million gold coins in a few days, he would only give one percent of it to the kingdom, keeping the rest for himself. Lubin realized the kingdom's system was a fart after they became Blackmoon Town's ally. Although the kingdom did not have as much money as Blackmoon Town, it was more exploitable. They would demand a large amount of taxes from them every year, unlike in Blackmoon Town, where Watson would not take a single cent of their earnings as long as they spent them in Blackmoon Town.

Lubin's heart was overjoyed. Suddenly, he noticed a golden-haired guard next to Watson. He had not paid much attention to him at first because he assumed he was only a guard in the castle. Then he realized that person looked familiar to him. Furthermore, the armor on his body was not typical of the Blackmoon Knights.

“Young Master Watson, if I am not mistaken, the person beside you is a captain from Vermillion Town—Lophis!”

The mayors on the border were in contact to some extent. As Torch Town's mayor, he had been to Vermillion Town. Furthermore, Lophis was Adele's personal guard and a noble from the Saint Laurent family from the royal capital. So, he had a strong impression of him.

“Long time no see, Mayor Lubin.”

Lophis took a deep breath, his face a little awkward.

He did not want Lubin to meet him like that. Lubin, who had a platinum ring on his hand and a gold-tier suit, had talked about tens of millions of gold coins. Then he looked at himself—a mere guard who had just been appointed as the acting mayor. The gap was too big.

Lophis had believed that Vermillion Town was the best of the four towns. However, he had changed his mind; Vermillion Town was at the bottom. It had already pulled away from the other towns by a considerable distance.

“Are you also here to become a subsidiary of Blackmoon Town, Lophis? The border count gathered all the mayors a few days ago, but Vermillion Town did not attend. That was why your town was excluded from the border fusion team. Of course, it is not too late to join now. By the way, where is Miss Adele? Why isn't there any sign of her?”

Lubin looked around Lophis as if he was searching for Vermillion Town's mayor.

“Miss Adele went to the Royal City to attend to some matters. I am not sure when she will return. I am now the acting mayor in Vermillion Town.”

“What could be more important than becoming a member of Blackmoon Town? Adele should still be on her way to the Royal City. She is not very good at business. If this continues, it will be extremely difficult for Vermillion Town to establish itself on the border. But that's only my opinion.”

Lubin's heartfelt words broke Lophis' heart. He would have retorted angrily if he had heard someone disparage Adele, but he had nothing to say at the time.

“All right, everyone, let's get right to the point.”

Watson cut in and looked at Lophis. “Mister Lophis, As you can see, I am very busy. What is the purpose of your visit? Can you tell me now?”

“I would like to purchase some sun and moon gems that grow on the mountain,” Lophis stuttered.

If it had been when he first went up the mountain, he might have been very confident in confronting Watson and even asked why Watson was so wasteful. However, he learned that Mount Creation's strength was beyond his imagination. He could not say anything because Watson had the resources to spend.

Was it only that?

Watson remained silent for a brief moment before smiling. He motioned toward Lubin and Gerant. “I will have to bother you to send this gentleman from Vermillion Town on his way.”

“Young Master Watson, why are you driving me away? Don't you want to earn some money? Or do you believe that Vermillion Town can't afford to purchase the fruits?”

“It is not that I don't want to make money or that I think you are stupid. It is just that the sun and moon gems that you want to purchase are too cheap. They are simply wild fruits on Mount Creation. Even the farmers and servants can enjoy them as they please. If you want to buy them, then you can forget about that. I can't earn anything, and you'll be wasting your time.”

Who would pull weeds from the ground and sell them as a commodity? Those two fruits were like weeds to Watson.

Watson had considered those items to be valuable a few days ago. However, the situation had changed in those few days.

After they left Torch Town, he requested that the border count notify all of the manors at the border to tell them not to be afraid no matter what they saw. Then, with Blackmoon Town as the focal point, he fused the entire border, which resulted in Mount Creation.

Even though the border was small, it covered thousands of kilometers and contained a wealth of resources. One could only imagine the kind of changes that would occur if all of those resources were fused. There was a qualitative change when that happened, similar to how he created the Absolute Explosion spell when he merged all of his abilities. Mount Creation was a structure that had broken through diamond-tier and reached the starlight tier
