155: Avril's status rises

Meanwhile, Mitchell also called Avril to his office that evening for a detailed inquiry.

"Elwin was here during the day, so it wasn't good for me to ask too much.

But I know that Elwin, as a Legendary Expert, could actually be persuaded by you to join the merchant guild. There must be something between you two that I don't know!

I wonder if you could tell me!"

Hearing this, Avril fell into deep thought.

Whether it was dumping Arthur's treasures worth billions or helping him establish a transnational merchant guild, both required the power of the Dawn Merchant Guild.

Especially the latter, which might even require transferring personnel from the Dawn Merchant Guild.

Since that was the case, these two matters would definitely not be hidden from Mitchell, the guild master, later on!

In this way, Avril might as well proactively inform him, which could also improve his impression of her.

Thinking this, Avril revealed her previous dealings with Arthur in full.

"I will help the Lionheart Kingdom dump treasures and establish a merchant guild, and they will send Legendary Experts to support me..."

After listening to Avril's narration, Mitchell also thought quietly for a while.

Although Avril did this out of her own selfish desire to gain greater power within the merchant guild.

However, the Continent of Gods was inherently a place where the strong preyed on the weak; how could one advance without striving?

Mitchell himself had to defeat several of his siblings to stand out and inherit the position of guild master.

Therefore, he was not repulsed by Avril's performance; he even admired it.

After this incident, he looked at this daughter, whom he had always ignored, with new eyes!

He then gave an affirmative answer.

"You did nothing wrong in this matter. Compared to the friendship of a Legendary, a little help is nothing!

Moreover, the Lionheart Kingdom behind Elwin openly has two more Legendary Experts!

Additionally, their ability to produce rare items like high-grade magic crystals and dragon blood as commodities indicates their profound heritage, which our Dawn Merchant Guild cannot compare to.

Presumably, there are other forces behind them, and befriending them is a wise choice!

So you must do well in what you promised them, and the merchant guild will fully support your actions!"

"Thank you, Father!"

That Mitchell would express his support surprised Avril at first, followed by joy.

After all, for her to become a high-ranking member of the merchant guild, or even the guild master, her father's support was indispensable.

Avril's joy was simply because she was one step closer to her goal of being a high-ranking member of the merchant guild, not because Mitchell, her so-called father, approved of her.

Mitchell had never given Avril a good look or paid attention to her since she was young.

Avril naturally had no deep feelings for this so-called father of hers.

Moreover, during the day, Mitchell had even tried to poach her subordinate, presumably playing the emotional card with Avril only after realizing he couldn't persuade Elwin.

On the other hand, unlike Avril, Mitchell, upon realizing Avril's extraordinary nature, first thought of his past shortcomings towards her.

So, a look of concern involuntarily appeared on his face:

"Speaking of which, your mother has always lived in the side room, without any proper status!

I've decided that tomorrow, I will officially confer upon your mother the title of main wife, and she can move into the main building of the mansion afterwards!

As for you, after the transaction with the Lionheart Kingdom is completed, I can consider promoting you to an Elder of the merchant guild.

The prerequisite is to achieve closer cooperation with the Lionheart Kingdom!"

Mitchell said so many things, but in summary, it was all about improving his relationship with Avril.

Avril knew that all of this came from her cooperation with Arthur, so at this moment, in her heart,

her gratitude towards Arthur and Elwin was even greater than towards Mitchell, her so-called father.

Although she felt no genuine gratitude internally, since Mitchell had said so much, Avril still had to give a proper response.

After all, Mitchell was not only her father but also the guild master and a Legendary Expert; she could not neglect him.

"Thank you, Father, I will definitely work hard to complete the cooperation with the Lionheart Kingdom and strive to further our relationship!"

"Hmm, I believe you can do it!"

...Thus, matters at the Dawn Merchant Guild headquarters came to a temporary close!

Three days later, in the Lionheart Kingdom.

After several days of discussion, Arthur and the others decided to adopt the most direct approach against the Orc Royal Court.

First, they would send Legendary Experts and Sky Knights to carry out a decapitation strike against the Orc Royal Court's Legendary Experts and other powerful individuals.

Then, the army would advance and seize everything.

The idea was good, but there was always one problem that couldn't be solved!

That was, due to the threat of the Demigod Expert from the Orc Empire on the Continent of Gods, Arthur dared not annihilate the orcs in the Orc Royal Court.

He could only expel most of them.

However, the Doreen Peninsula, where the Lionheart Kingdom and the Orc Royal Court were located, was separated from the Continent of Gods by a Desert of Death!

Thus, to expel the orcs, they couldn't go by land; they could only go by sea!

And the ocean was so wide that swimming was impossible; they could only be transported by ships.

But coincidentally, the Kate Kingdom, having been defeated by the Naga Clan before, no longer even had a fishing industry, so where would they get a navy and ships?

This led to a deadlock, making it difficult for Arthur to conquer the Orc Royal Court for a while!

But thinking about it, since there were no ships, they could build them. The current Lionheart Kingdom was not the Kate Kingdom of the past!

A navy was definitely necessary, as maritime trade was a lucrative business, and Arthur would certainly participate in it in the future.

Thus, ships were definitely needed, so why not build them now?

However, facts proved that Arthur thought too simply; hundreds of years of fishing prohibition meant that there were no shipbuilding talents in the Lionheart Kingdom at all.

So Arthur eventually abandoned the idea of building them himself, thinking that the next month was only a week away.

It would be better to buy a warship at a high price and then replicate it.

And Arthur obviously had no connections for buying warships.

So he could only send a message to Elwin via magic communicator, asking him to solve this problem through the Dawn Merchant Guild.

A week later, Arthur, who had just finished his daily dragon blood tempering and was Cultivating,

was suddenly informed by Victor that the warship Arthur had asked Elwin to purchase had arrived at the kingdom's newly reopened dock.

Speaking of which, Arthur's dragon blood tempering had been going on for four months, so his cultivation had also Broken through to the Middle Stage of Earth Knight.

He had advanced by a small rank!

Regarding the warship, Arthur heard that it was purchased by the Dawn Merchant Guild through connections from the Empire and was quite magnificent!

Since coming to this world, Arthur had never personally seen a warship from this world.

He was quite curious about it, so he quickly rode the Two-Headed Wyvern Andel and went with Victor to the kingdom's southern dock.
