Chapter 637: Chapter 584: A Show of Force
Rota was stunned by Li Wei’s extravagance.
He carefully carried the Spatial Ring, worth several million Gold Coins, and headed out.
He didn’t trust anyone else to handle these items.
He was afraid someone might be overcome with greed.
As for himself, he was getting on in years and no longer had much ambition or desire.
He just wanted to live out his final years in peace.
Of course, it would be even better if he could still be of some use in his old age.
He could leave behind a bit of a legacy.
Rota personally went to procure all the necessary supplies.
For Rota, who had served as the Mage Tower’s logistics administrator for many years, this was second nature.
It was like returning to his old trade.
The various factions took this opportunity to repeatedly ask Rota about the origins of the nearly one thousand Professionals in the Mage Tower.
It was already nighttime when Rota returned from procuring the supplies.
The various factions had also learned a little about the situation inside the Mage Tower.
They learned that everyone came from a city in the Extreme North Icefield.
They had never even heard the name Fred City.
In fact, most of them had never even heard of the Extreme North Icefield.
All they knew was that there was a vast snowfield at the northernmost edge of the world.
They had no real concept of the Extreme North Icefield.
They didn’t know it was an immense land of ice, as vast as a continent.
Luosi and Luo Huafu finally learned about Li Wei and Gu Sewei’s relationship.
They were both utterly shocked to discover that Gu Sewei was actually Li Wei’s wife.
They never would have imagined that Li Wei could marry a Legendary Level Mage.
The news that Gu Sewei was a Legendary Mage spread like wildfire.
Soon, Otz also learned that a Legendary Mage had arrived at the Mage Tower.
He, too, was greatly astonished.
After pacing back and forth in his study several times, he decided to visit the Legendary Mage first thing the next morning.
To date, the Beixuan Kingdom had never had a Legendary Powerhouse of its own.
The sudden appearance of a Legendary Powerhouse was an overwhelming blow to all the factions within the Beixuan Kingdom.
A Legendary Powerhouse stood above the entire Beixuan Kingdom.
What’s more, this was a Legendary Mage.
Other Legendary Professionals, no matter how strong, were only powerful as individuals.
The power of a Legendary Mage lay in their terrifying destructive capabilities.
A single Legendary Mage could easily destroy an entire city.
This made them fundamentally different from other Legendary Professionals.
If it weren’t so late, he would have rushed to the Mage Tower to meet the Legendary Mage immediately.
Later, he also heard news about Li Wei.
However, unaware of Li Wei’s true strength, he paid him little mind, focusing instead on Gu Sewei, who was confirmed to be a Legendary Mage.
Only Gu Sewei and Gu Ze knew that Li Wei had already advanced to the Demigod Level.
Neither of them had told anyone else.
And Li Wei certainly wasn’t about to advertise the fact that he had reached the Demigod Level.
Unless they were an expert of the same level, not even a Legendary Level master could necessarily discern his realm.
Those who had not reached the Demigod Level simply couldn’t comprehend Li Wei’s power.
Li Wei brought Gu Sewei to the Sixth Floor of the Mage Tower.
Under the night sky, the view from the Sixth Floor of the Mage Tower overlooked the entirety of Maple City’s nightscape.
The main streets were brightly lit.
The lights grew sparse toward the city’s edge, creating a different kind of beauty.
Gu Sewei stood at the edge of the Sixth Floor, gazing toward the massive palace complex in the center of Maple City.
"Is that the Royal Palace of the Beixuan Kingdom?" Gu Sewei asked.
Li Wei nodded. "That area used to be the City Lord’s Mansion of Maple City. It’s gotten so big without me realizing. It looks like Otz has spent a small fortune on building his Imperial Palace over the years."
He gazed toward the Imperial Palace, his sight penetrating the structure to see Otz pacing and pondering within his study.
An amused expression crossed Li Wei’s face.
Gu Sewei tilted her head, looking at him curiously. "Why the sudden smile? What’s so funny?"
Li Wei chuckled. "Hehe, it looks like our very own Ice Queen has caused the King of the Beixuan Kingdom no small amount of trouble. He probably won’t be able to sleep a wink tonight."
Hearing this, Gu Sewei lightly punched his shoulder. "Don’t call me the Ice Queen..."
Li Wei swept Gu Sewei into his arms, carrying her bridal style as he walked toward the Seventh Floor.
"Nope. Tonight, you’re the queen. Come, Her Majesty the Queen, the night is late. Allow me to attend to you in your chambers."
Li Wei grinned, looking down at Gu Sewei.
Gu Sewei’s face instantly turned bright red. She shyly turned her head away, not daring to meet his gaze.
The Seventh Floor of the Mage Tower was originally a prison used to confine a Dragon Soul.
After Li Wei’s last return, he had converted the Seventh Floor into his new living quarters.
His own private residence.
Not even Rota had ever been to the Seventh Floor.
When Rota returned from his procurement trip, he looked everywhere for Li Wei but couldn’t find him.
He only managed to find Gu Ze.
"Where is Mage Li Wei?" Rota asked.
Gu Ze asked, a bit puzzled, "What do you need him for?"
Rota presented the Spatial Ring Li Wei had given him. "I’ve already procured all the supplies. This is the money that’s left over. I didn’t even spend one percent of it. I need to return this to Mage Li Wei."
Gu Ze chuckled. "There’s no need. Li Wei said that if there’s anything left over, it should be kept as funds for the Mage Tower. You don’t have to give it back to him."
Rota was taken aback. "But this is far too much..."
Gu Ze shook his head. "To Li Wei, things like this are useless now."
