341: Chapter 341: The Matter is Completely Settled 341: Chapter 341: The Matter is Completely Settled The entire first day of the Harvest Festival was in complete chaos. Of course, this chaos did not affect the commoners much, at most resulting in some thefts in people’s homes. Moreover, those who suffered thefts were not truly ordinary people but rather the wealthier sort. But for the nobles, this day was indeed a true chaos. Many great nobles were directly seized, and many of the rest were under investigation. With continuous implications coming out, here in the Imperial City, the power of the Royal Family was at its absolute peak. Following an assassination attempt, the King directly used this opportunity to conduct a massive sweep throughout the city. Some longstanding issues were also resolved completely with the help of this opportunity. This needed ongoing efforts and couldn’t be finished in a short amount of time. As one might expect, for the following month, the officials of the Imperial City would likely be under this busy state. But the current matters were still being handled very quickly. Merely the next day, some information had already been released through various channels. Ocoro came to Zhao Guang’s house and directly threw some documents at him. “Your achievements are significant this time. The court is discussing a promotion for your title. It seems you will surpass me soon,” Ocoro said, somewhat enviously. As a noble, even if one is a great artist like Ocoro, it’s impossible to be indifferent towards titles. The higher the rank, the more this holds true. Yesterday, Zhao Guang genuinely cooperated with Balola to protect the royal entourage. Even if the reward wasn’t much now, he would definitely rise through the ranks more easily than these great nobles in the future. “Is that so? I don’t really mind, as long as I can enhance my strength peacefully afterward,” Zhao Guang responded. After a whole day, Zhao Guang was continuously recalling the previous battle and eventually realized that he seemed to lack powerful combat methods. He had plenty of methods for self-preservation, as even the trump cards of Advanced Warriors hadn’t been able to harm him. But actual methods to decide the outcome of a fight were absent. He was relying mainly on his strong foundational abilities. Thus, even Ordinary Combat Skills appeared very strong. Then there was Magic Power. Because he had just reached the level of an intermediate Mage, he didn’t have intermediate Magic. In the elementary Magic, the only offensive magic was just a Fireball. This Fireball required a long time to condense, and during battle, he only used it a few times. Apart from the first time, the effectiveness of later uses wasn’t great, not even as good as a mere Mage’s Hand trick. It could be said that his Magic Power, which exceeded that of a normal Mage, wasn’t really showcased. Therefore, what he needed next was to continue to refine his magic, to have more suitable Magic for combat. Also, he needed Magic capable of handling some special situations, which he needed to strengthen. But the most crucial thing was still to enhance the strength of his subordinates. If his subordinates’ strength increased, then he wouldn’t need to take action himself. Although, with yesterday’s situation, none of his subordinates were beside him. Indeed, even the Wise Man is bound to miss something sometimes; the ancients truly do not deceive me. “So, this is their public claim, huh? It looks just the same,” he remarked. Zhao Guang observed and realized that both worlds tended to handle certain matters in the same way. “What else can be done? Only by using this method can some negative impacts be mitigated. In any case, we just need to know the specifics ourselves; we mustn’t talk carelessly outside,” Ocoro replied. “Don’t worry, I’m not foolish,” Zhao Guang said with a wave of his hand. Yesterday’s events had been thoroughly determined by the Royal Family, and the results of the investigation eventually revealed it as retaliation from the Klein Empire due to their previous loss in war. Although the war had been initiated by the Klein Empire, they still chose to retaliate. However, being able to plant so many people in the Imperial City was definitely not something that could be done in a short time; it must have been started a long time ago. Yesterday, taking advantage of the situation, these people were all exposed at once. As for who exactly was the insider, whose route helped transport so many people in, there was no news on that. All in all, a large number of nobles were found with issues due to this investigation. Either they were colluding with the Klein Empire or had other problems. In any case, they all received their punishment. Some people’s punishments seemed a bit mismatched with their actual crimes, probably because of internal reasons. The two who appeared to be the main culprits, the princes, didn’t have their involvement in any events revealed. No, it should be said that yesterday’s turmoil wasn’t made known to have any connection with the nobles. Also, if it became known that this incident was orchestrated by the nobles, then their reputation would be impacted. This would affect everyone, so no one would make such matters public. Anyway, the two princes were sent away to their lands this time. “So, now that these two have been sent away, can they come back later?” Zhao Guang wondered. “Who knows? After all, they are still princes. For an empire, a male king is somewhat more acceptable to people than a female,” Ocoro stated somewhat helplessly. Of course, this isn’t absolute. Given what happened this time, one can imagine the princes’ popularity. Even the Royal Family couldn’t ignore the opinions of the great nobles. All in all, this matter was thus determined. Coming up next was a list of people who made contributions during the attack. Unsurprisingly, Princess Balola topped the list, which was undisputed. As for Zhao Guang himself, he was ranked fifth, with the first three people’s actions unknown to him. But it could be certain that the first three had a higher status than him—two members of the Royal Family and one also of Earl origin. Indeed, sometimes doing the most isn’t equivalent to getting the greatest merit. However, all this didn’t matter to him; after all, he wouldn’t miss out on his own benefits. Speaking of which, if he hadn’t been on the high platform yesterday, he wouldn’t have wanted to stand out like that. Being in that position made him a target in the attackers’ eyes. If he didn’t kill the attackers, they would come to kill him. While looking through the documents, Zhao Guang somewhat boredly chatted with Ocoro. The reason for his boredom was because the topic of fine arts kept popping up sporadically, which truly didn’t interest him. Ocoro himself didn’t seem to understand why, but every time the arts were discussed, his mind seemed to dull, unable to see it through.
