1109: The King of Enlightenment

That night.

In the Imperial Palace of Vog Country, King Vog hosted a grand banquet to celebrate the Princess's rescue.

He also specially prepared a large amount of gold, silver, treasures, and beautiful women to give to Bloodcloth Old Ancestor, as a token of gratitude and respect.

From the mouths of his followers, King Vog of Vog Country learned that Lord Valentin, alone, had directly annihilated two terrifying Evil Dragons in just over ten minutes!

This kind of achievement directly elevated Vog's respect and admiration for Bloodcloth Old Ancestor to the peak!

However.

Despite all these preparations, Vog failed to keep Bloodcloth Old Ancestor.

The other party only left Su Liang by his side, saying that treating Su Liang as himself would suffice.

In fact, when Bloodcloth Old Ancestor saw Vog celebrating on such a large scale, he had already felt the urge to kill several times!

He wanted to be low-key, not to attract anyone's attention!

It was also fortunate that he had taken this kid Su Liang as his subordinate before; such matters could indeed be left for him to handle.

As for Bloodcloth Old Ancestor himself, he went off to search for the medicinal ingredients on the potion formula.

Of course, there was also a portion of the medicinal ingredients that he had Su Liang relay to King Vog Country, asking him to help search for them.

Just like now.

At the moment of dancing and singing in the grand hall, Su Liang handed a list of medicinal Materials to King Vog Country: "Your Majesty, these are the things our Lord needs. You must help us collect them."

After the list was handed out, the attendant nearby immediately passed it to the King seated at the head.

"These things... I can indeed help Lord find some of them, but there are still some that I have never even heard of. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them all."

"But please rest assured, young friend, since it is what Lord Valentin needs, then my Vog Country will definitely spare no effort!"

The King's tone towards Su Liang was respectful and kind.

Seeing this kind of behavior, the heavenly talents and followers in the seats below were all itching with hatred!

No matter how they calculated, they never expected that Lord Valentin would actually value this outsider!

And take him in as one of his own!

Just because this guy successfully climbed into a relationship with Lord Valentin, even the King's attitude towards him underwent a complete 180-degree turn!

Just a day ago, this guy was just a humble person who could only kneel and bow when facing the people around him!

"Now that the Evil Dragon has been eliminated, young friend, do you know what Lord Valentin plans to do next?" Vog's tone was still very kind.

"How could I know Lord Valentin's actions? However, I should always be by Lord Valentin's side from now on." Su Liang naturally sensed the reason for these people's change in attitude towards him. At this moment, his words even revealed the intimacy of his relationship with Bloodcloth Old Ancestor.

And as he spoke these words, the gazes of the people around him changed again.

Most of them changed from their original contempt and unwillingness to importance and fear!

The reason was none other than that this guy had firmly climbed onto the high branch of the big tree that is Valentin!

Vog, as the King, heard this, and the expression on his face also changed slightly: "Good, being able to work by Lord Valentin's side is a great thing!"

"Su Liang, I also heard that you contributed a lot to rescuing the Princess this time, and played a crucial role at many times!"

"You should be credited with the greatest achievement for rescuing the Princess!"

"From this moment on, you are the Marquis of my Vog Country!"

"Considering that you need to study by Valentin's side, I will not reward you with a fief and subordinates, but instead with gold, silver, treasures, and magic books. You will still enjoy the rights and status of a Marquis. What do you think?"

King Vog Country's decision was decisive and swift.

Now that Su Liang had attached himself to Lord Valentin, their utmost effort to win him over was the most correct policy!

In the future, once Vog Country faces any danger, they can completely rely on Su Liang to get in touch with Lord Valentin and seek help!

Sitting in the first seat below the King, Su Liang felt much more comfortable hearing these rewards.

For the past few days, a knot of frustration had been stuck in his heart.

It was as if all good things had been messed up, making him feel like a mess.

At this moment, after hearing the King's rewards, Su Liang finally realized that he had returned to his original position and obtained the status and treatment that belonged to him!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Liang stood up and bowed.

It was impossible to say he wasn't excited.

Marquis, this kind of status and position even surpassed that of the City Lord of Busen City!

Li Village, in his eyes, was now as insignificant as an ant!

He didn't even need that Old Ancestor to act; with his own strength alone, he was enough to eliminate the guys from Li Village!

"Hahaha, good, good, good!" Vog couldn't help but laugh heartily when he saw the other party so decisively accept his conferment.

"Lord King, besides asking you to help collect those Materials, Lord Valentin also asked me to entrust you with one more thing." As Su Liang spoke, he got up and went to Vog's side, lowering his voice to say something.

When he finished speaking, Vog looked slightly puzzled: "Did Lord Valentin really say that?"

"That's all Lord asked me to convey to you. If you don't do it, I won't say anything, but Lord... that's not for sure." At this moment, Su Liang finally experienced the power of his current status.

He also felt less aversion to being Bloodcloth Old Ancestor's subordinate.

Just now, what he said to the King was to annihilate Li Village!

Bloodcloth Old Ancestor didn't actually tell him to tell the King about this, but the King didn't know that.

He now represented the Old Ancestor, so would the King dare not listen to what he said?

Moreover, Li Village was completely an insignificant small force for the entire Vog Country.

It was just an object that could be easily destroyed.

"This kind of matter is indeed not worth Lord Valentin personally handling. Please rest assured, Marquis Su, I will definitely help Lord complete this matter!" Vog nodded heavily.

Since it was Lord Valentin's intention, he had nothing to hesitate about.

Of course, even if it was Su Liang's own condition to satisfy himself, Vog would choose to turn a blind eye.

After all, it was just a small village, and it was completely acceptable to use a small village to win over Su Liang alone.

...

The banquet ended.

Bloodcloth Old Ancestor was not present throughout the entire banquet.

However, Su Liang, representing 'Valentin', became the object of everyone's pursuit.

And in this banquet, Su Liang gained all the benefits.

He accepted countless gifts from people congratulating him.

Just after one banquet, Su Liang's wealth instantly reached a level he had previously only been able to look up to!

"This is just being that guy's subordinate. If I replaced him, became him, then what kind of crazy pursuit would I receive?"

As Su Liang walked on the street, counting his gains, a hint of determination surged in his eyes.

In his heart, the potion formula for 'Human Servant' once again surfaced in his mind.

...

Vog Country Kingdom.

After King Vog returned to the imperial palace, he saw a General who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Lord King, your subordinate has found the source of light!" The General's tone carried a hidden excitement.

Obviously, beneath these words, he had witnessed the scene that had left him unable to calm down for a long time!

"Oh? Found it? Where? What kind of force is it? We must support it well and strengthen my Vog Country!" King Vog Country asked with a sense of curiosity after hearing the General's words.

"In the West, Busen City in the West!"

"Busen City? Did the City Lord of this City bring the light?" Vog's tone carried a hint of surprise and understanding.

That's right, the Darkness spread from the West, so according to what he heard when he first met Lord Valentin, it was enough to understand that the birth of light must be in that area!

"Light was indeed born in Busen City, but the one who brought the light was not the City Lord of Busen City."

"It was Li Village, a Village built by an outsider."

"According to your subordinate's investigation, Li Village invented an object called an electric lamp. The electric lamp can illuminate the Darkness, and while dispelling the Darkness, it can also cause damage to Dark monsters!"

"Compared to the spiritual lamp, the electric lamp's function is completely superior!"

"However, this Li Village, which invented the electric lamp, had a conflict with the higher-ups of Busen City during the time covered by Darkness. Finally, Li Village defeated the higher-ups of our Vog Country's Busen City and completely took over Busen City, renaming it Electric Light City!"

The General briefly narrated all the information he had gathered in general terms.

"Li Village?" Vog heard the name of this Village.

It sounded a little familiar.

And in the next breath, he suddenly remembered, wasn't this the Village that Su Liang had asked him to annihilate at the banquet just now?

Annihilating Li Village, Su Liang said it was Lord Valentin's intention.

But when he first met Lord Valentin, didn't his posture and words say that he needed to protect the light and let the light extend and expand, even covering the entire Magic Continent?

Since Li Village represented the light, then the object he definitely needed to protect was them!

Lord Valentin's words before and Su Liang's relayed words now seemed to directly conflict!

Scratching his head, Vog paced back and forth in the room.

Until a certain moment, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

"No, these two things don't seem to conflict!"

Vog's tone was slightly hurried, and then, realizing something, he clapped his hand: "That's right, it must be like this!"

"What Li Village or not Li Village, they don't represent the light at all, they just created the light."

"As long as I control Li Village's electric lamps, then Li Village is dispensable!"

"Lord Valentin's intention is for me to annihilate Li Village, take over Li Village's electric lamp technology, and thus let Vog Country promote the light!"

In an instant, combining the two matters, Vog felt enlightened as if being poured with wisdom!
