Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 119, the expanded version of the Kingdom Weekly

Whenever the Kingdom Weekly goes on an extra edition, something big is bound to happen.

The newspaper was filled with dense, red text, spanning several pages. Each name was followed by its job title, age, and family background—a remarkably detailed account.

The Canadian edition of the newspaper was snapped up as soon as it was released. Every newsstand was surrounded by a dense crowd of people.

Despite major printing companies having prepared in advance and increased their printing volume several times over, current purchasing trends indicate that supply still falls far short of demand.

Yezi led her friends to queue up and, thanks to their good relationship with the newsstand owner, successfully obtained two large stacks of newspapers, totaling two hundred copies.

Each newspaper costs five pennies to buy and sells for ten pennies, earning a profit of 100% from the purchase and sale.

She organized people to queue up to buy newspapers while they sold them at nearby intersections, not minding if they bought even one more.

The inventory on hand can always be sold out easily, and there is no situation where there is any stock to be had.

In order to learn as soon as possible about the list of fallen nobles on the Canadian website, the normally extremely stingy lower class has become unusually generous today.

Ye Zi witnessed firsthand how some people were overjoyed, some gritted their teeth, and some danced wildly like madmen.

The white-haired old man wiped away his tears and cried out, "Retribution! You've all met your match!"

The young man, missing an arm, murmured absently, "Sister, the person who harmed you has already received his retribution. Rest in peace."

"Good riddance! Good riddance!"

Sister Zhu, who worked at the laundry, was once a renowned beauty in Gray Rat Lane. About ten years ago, she mysteriously disappeared for a long period of time. When she returned, she was completely broken, spending her days in tears.

When she saw a bright red name on the list, the woman's body suddenly trembled violently, and a surge of pleasure welled up in her numb and lifeless eyes.

"Ye Zi, you really have a knack for business..." The girl with pigtails and freckles on her face looked at him with admiration.

"I just seized the opportunity. If we hadn't taken turns helping sell newspapers every day, the boss wouldn't have agreed to give us newspapers!" Ye Zi counted the pennies in her hand and generously paid her sisters a good reward.

Through this impromptu operation, she deeply realized the importance of seizing opportunities and utilizing available resources.

When opportunity knocks, even a wild beast can take flight. If you have unique resources, you have the chance to earn profits that others cannot.

Of course, the most important thing is capital. Without the two gold coins in hand, all actions are just wishful thinking…

Ye Zi fell into thought. She wanted to go further, to earn more. Everything was inextricably linked to one name.

Blue Rose!

As the noble family that orchestrated this incident, their reputation had already spread far and wide, becoming the focus of much discussion.

Compared to the infamous corrupt noble forces, the Blue Rose family, far away in the North, has no disputes with the people of the capital and almost no negative rumors about them, making them a seemingly upright noble family in opposition to the corrupt ones.

Thinking of Gus's confident guarantee and demeanor, Ye Zi's impression of the Blue Rose family changed somewhat, but she was still more shocked.

The once high and mighty figures were as vulnerable as chickens and dogs in front of Blue Rose, and even if they joined forces, they would not have a chance of winning.

Guts has actually joined such a terrifyingly powerful force.

What can I possibly gain from Blue Rose...?

(Please remember the website 20 ...

Ye Zi keenly sensed an opportunity; how could she possibly miss a chance to take advantage of a powerful nobleman?

You only need to seize one opportunity in your life to turn your life around.

"Give me a Canadian edition of the Kingdom Weekly."

A young man wearing a black trench coat and a baseball cap handed over a brand-new silver dollar.

Ye Zi handed over the newspaper, then looked down and searched her bag for change. When she looked up again, the man had vanished.

"Sir! Your change..."

Looking around at the empty street, Ye Zi called out three times to confirm, muttering under her breath, "What a weirdo."

The Blue Rose family is a noble family of earldom in the North, whose territory borders the Orc Kingdom, the Misty Mountains, and the Red Maple Earldom.

Its territory is vast, far larger than that of a typical earldom. It is sparsely populated and has a relatively poor economic environment, but is renowned in the North for its formidable military strength.

Currently, the Blue Rose family has been granted the rank of Marquis six times consecutively by the Noble Council. They are expected to achieve promotion within six years.

The gaunt old man with a mustache and a middle parting read aloud the intelligence he was compiling, then looked up at the figure on the throne.

"Prime Minister Thatcher, what do you think?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is no doubt that Blue Rose's strength has reached a point where it needs to be won over; at the very least, it cannot be placed on the opposing side."

"Do you think it's necessary to arrange a marriage with a princess to win them over?"

"It's hard to say. The next heir of the Blue Rose family is already engaged to the Red Maple family. Forcing a princess into the marriage might provoke a backlash from both families, which would be counterproductive."

"You have a point. However, I have a daughter with spellcasting talent who is currently very close to the next heir of the Blue Rose, and their relationship seems to be quite good." King Alfred picked up a peeled apple from the fruit plate, put it in his mouth and chewed: "It's not a problem for a great nobleman to marry two wives! Anyway, the territory is vast, what harm is there in dividing it up? I will give them a generous dowry to make up for their losses."

"If the marriage alliance succeeds, the Blue Rose family might become an important ally for us. The four ducal families each have their own agendas. They possess rich territories and abundant resources, and it's difficult to sway them with ordinary prices and change their original stance. The cost of bribing the Blue Rose family would be much lower..." Chancellor Melo Thatcher added in a low voice from the side.

"Inform the Ninth Princess that Dorothy must come to see me as soon as possible!" Alfred summoned his servants and gave the order.

The Night Watchmen's quarters, on the rooftop of the office building.

The white-haired child, about eight or nine years old, stood with his hands behind his back, yet his eyes held a wisdom and vicissitude rarely seen in the elderly. His gaze was as indifferent as a god's, looking down at Lesser's departing figure, his voice cold as he muttered to himself.

"Foolish, rotten maggots are also part of this world, mortals! If you don't want to be oppressed by them, you must strive harder! Until you reach the pinnacle..."

"Lady Elaine, the information Lord Ulton entrusted to you last night."

The female watchwoman, her face hidden under her hood, bowed at a forty-five-degree angle and handed over the file folder.

The Blue Rose Family's Saint-level powerhouse strength assessment! S-rank top secret.

The white-haired boy casually took the file and tore open the seal: "Step down!"

"Yes!" The female watchwoman straightened up and quickly disappeared in a blur.

After everyone left, Elaine began to pick up the documents and look through them. Her mage hands held the files in front of her, and her calm expression gradually turned serious.
