Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 504 Returning to the Castle

Min Wu's initiative to approach him was not a problem for him; similar things would only happen more often in the future, and the Lin family had set a good precedent.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng immediately replied with a simple message: "Lovers are fine, we can talk about the rest later."

There's no reason to turn away a woman who comes knocking on your door.

He didn't need to do anything obvious; he just needed to remove Min Xuan as the middleman. He couldn't let such a good cabbage go to waste before it had even had a couple of bites.

The remaining matter is for him and Min-oh to discuss it, and that's still a long way off.

That guy's real purpose was probably to eliminate his hostility, not just for the sake of the speakership contest.

Just like himself, he often presents a very deceptive purpose, making people mistakenly believe that's what it is.

As long as he accepts Min Xuan's offer, Min Wu will be in a virtually invincible position. This will eliminate any misunderstandings between them and ensure his safety.

Even if they don't help him then, he'll just be competing fairly with others. Even if he loses the competition, he'll still be the president of the Magic Association of the Magic City Base.

With Min Xuan present, the initial misunderstandings between the two sides were resolved, and a basis for cooperation and communication was established, which gave them a head start compared to their competitors.

After all, it's not something only Min Wu can do to win over allies. If the grudges between the two aren't eliminated, it's easy for competitors to discover and exploit them, putting him in an extremely passive position.

After replying to the other party, Wang Teng began to browse through the brief summaries of important international news that Leng Qing had sent him, which was part of her daily work.

The purpose is to allow him to know what major or important events are happening internationally when he has free time.

This will prevent us from going astray from international understanding and making unnecessary misjudgments.

In addition, Tang Yue regularly sent him a list of the family's assets, including what resources had been disposed of, what resources had been stockpiled, and daily expenses, etc.

This included discussions about the cooperative relationship with the Lingyin Tribunal, since there were still many resources left over that needed to be processed through this channel.

This is mainly led by the Tang family, which also has cooperation with the Dongfang family, so they are on the same chain of interests.

Jiang Shaoxu and Lin Yunxi jointly manage the castle's profits, since the Lin family wants to build a super-large safe zone for the wealthy based on his castle.

The interests involved are enormous, and the other party simply cannot handle it all by themselves; they will definitely try to involve him as well.

Otherwise, the other two forces would inevitably get involved, and with more people involved, the share would be less. Only when both sides take the lead can the interests be maximized.

This is the monopolistic landscape of foreign conglomerates: they take everything they can, and if they can't, they try to minimize the number of people at the table.

If they really can't reach an agreement, then everyone eats together, and whoever is in charge of cooking gets to eat more. That's how it was done with the original Magic Stone Mine development project.

After looking at the messages for a while, Wang Teng went through all the messages they sent before turning off his phone.

"Finished watching?"

Ding Yumin had already woken up and was lying on top of the other person, resting her chin on her hands and looking at that face with great interest.

"Hmm~ Don't move your legs!"

"Go take a bath, we'll head back to the castle this afternoon!"

"The trip to the school anniversary celebration has come to a successful conclusion!"

Wang Teng slowly got up and then took the other person's hand and walked towards the master bedroom bathroom.

But Ding Yumin didn't keep her legs properly wrapped around her waist; instead, she kept twisting and turning in his arms, and she was soon punished.

Two and a half hours later...

Wang Teng, along with Ding Yumin who had already tidied the room, opened the dimensional rift, and the two disappeared inside.

When they reappeared, the two had already traversed a long distance and arrived above Radiant Sun Castle, in the Cloud Realm!

"So beautiful~"

Ding Yumin looked down at the landscape below with great joy. From this expansive perspective, she felt a sense of vastness and freedom.

Moving the view northward, you can still see many snow scenes, with blue and white snow hanging on the mountain peaks.

Looking south, spring has arrived, and the earth is lush and green. Cities inhabited by humans are visibly fewer, while places where demons dwell are densely packed.

"If you like it, look at it a little longer~" Wang Teng didn't mind spending more time with her, as this kind of scenery in the cloud realm was not something that could be seen in general.

Airplanes generally can't fly that high. If they were to encounter a turbulent storm in the cyclone, even a slight gust of wind would be enough to kill them.

Therefore, the flight paths are set relatively low, and most flying demons are at this altitude, making it easier for mages to rescue them.

In the Cloud Realm, things are either peaceful or fraught with trouble; there are rarely any simple incidents. Even monarch-level feathered demons can appear between the Wind Realm and the Cloud Realm.

Wang Teng wasn't really interested in appreciating the scenery; he'd seen plenty of it during his cultivation journeys. His attention was more focused on the base city below.

Previously, it was just Seoul Base City, but now it also includes the newly established Yaoyang City!

This area is now entering a phase of expansion, with previously stalled cities such as Busan, a base city located near the island nation, now entering development plans.

This is Lin Jun's first series of long-term plans. Originally, this country didn't have much usable land, and in the past, it was occupied by demons because it lacked strength.

With him here now, he can easily cleanse a region of demon tribes at any time.

As long as they prepare a development plan, they can quickly build a base city with great development potential.

Small cities are no longer suitable for the current environment, especially in countries where magical power is insufficient; base cities are their preferred choice.

This requires considering not only demons but also the resources needed for mage awakening, since ordinary people cannot become mages without awakening stone mines.

For ordinary people in China, the chance of becoming a mage is barely more than half, and the process of becoming a mage involves filtering out many people.

Not to mention such a small country, the Awakening Stone vein is like a noose around its neck.

Without enough low-level mages to defend the city and fill the city with monsters, even if you clear out ten or eight cities, it will be useless, as ordinary people will all become food for the demons.

Low-level demons reproduce very quickly, so a large number of low-level mages are needed to defend against them. You can't expect high-level or super-level mages to defend the city, can you?

Without sufficient grassroots mage power, there is no need for small cities to develop.

Therefore, Yaoyang City, where he lives, is naturally sought after by the country's wealthy people. Power means safety and reliability!

What wealthy people like most is this sense of security.

Especially now that coastal cities are constantly being attacked and harassed by sea monsters, Seoul no longer feels safe enough, which will inevitably lead to wealthy residents gradually migrating to Yaoyang City.

Seoul and Busan are both coastal areas, while Yoyang City is located inland and in the area connecting the two, making its geographical location excellent.

The people currently in control of Yaoyang City are the Lin family, with Wang Teng at its core and Lin Jun as its representative. One can imagine how much profit is hidden within them.

It will gather nearly half of the country's wealth to this new city.

Even if Seoul and Busan become trade zones or even open up sea battlefields in the future, they will not be more attractive than Yaoyang City.
