Lord Wizard

Chapter 69 Mental Breakthrough

She knew that Lin Meng would one day leave the Frost Kingdom, and even leave the Continent of Constantine, to go to the wider Central Continent, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt powerless.

When Lin Meng was weak, she could protect him and participate in battles as a main force, fulfilling the responsibilities of a family knight. However, as the opponents grew stronger and the number of experts around her increased, she remained stuck at the level of a novice knight. Now, she can only continue to stay by his side in this way.

"Don't worry, just do it boldly and confidently. Don't worry about making any mistakes. No one is born with knowledge."

Lin Meng gently stroked her hair in comfort.

Eileen shifted shyly for a moment, then suddenly saw Goss walk in from outside the hall and immediately sat up straight.

"Cough cough..."

Seeing Lin Meng turn around, Goss coughed awkwardly twice and said, "My lord, Prince Nubia of the Duchy of Kess has entered Solent City. You instructed him to report to you immediately upon his arrival."

"Okay, I understand. Let's go greet them together."

As Lin Meng spoke, he walked past Goss toward the reception room.

"It seems I'll have to treat this master with more respect from now on."

Goss quickly caught up with Lin Meng, while glancing out of the corner of his eye at Eileen, who was still sitting in the head seat, and thought to himself.

If things go wrong, this female knight might become the mistress of the five major territories.

In the reception room, a group of more than twenty Nubians, whom he had met once before in Yuriel, were waiting.

Behind him were two Grand Knight-level experts, and Lin Meng could feel their powerful life force even from dozens of meters away.

"What a grand display."

Goss couldn't help but sigh when he saw this group of people.

With the strength of this team, as long as they don't fall into a deadly ambush, even a thousand-strong army wouldn't be able to stop them.

"Lord Leylin, I have arrived as promised. I wonder when I will be able to see what I request?"

Nubia couldn't wait to ask Lin Meng any questions as soon as he saw him, while the two great knights stayed by his side.

"Isn't Your Highness Nubia being a bit too cautious? You don't trust me that much?"

Seeing Nubia's cautiousness, Lin Meng smiled and said.

"I naturally trust Lord Leylin, but... that treasure is too important to me."

Lin Meng smiled and gestured, "Please!"

After saying that, he led Nubia to the reception room.

Having been notified in advance, Eileen was already waiting here with the heart of the carnivorous plant.

After receiving Lin Meng's approval, Eileen handed the heart of the man-eating flower to Nubia for inspection.

"It truly is the heart and stamen of a man-eating flower!"

Looking at the treasures inside the box, Nubia could hardly hide his excitement.

He had been stuck at the second-class apprentice level for more than half a year because his spirit was damaged and he was unable to make a spiritual leap, so he could not advance for a long time. If this dragged on, it would probably affect his chances of breaking through to the wizard level in the future. At this moment, seeing the treasure that could heal his spirit damage, he naturally lost his composure.

"Now that His Highness Nubia has confirmed the authenticity of the man-eating flower's core, we can discuss our terms. Your presence here indicates that you have already accepted the price I have quoted."

Lin Meng smiled.

"You sent someone to tell me before that you wanted ownership of the eastern part of the polar ice field of my Duchy of Kess. I wonder what you want it for?"

Nubia added, "The polar ice fields, which are all glaciers, are completely useless. They can't be cultivated or lived in, and the snow wolf tribe there is easy to deal with."

He simply couldn't fathom what Lin Meng's purpose was in wanting the polar ice field.

"If I said I wanted to bring the entire polar ice field under the jurisdiction of my Winter City, you probably wouldn't believe me. So, it's up to me personally, and the decision of whether to trade or not is yours."

Lin Meng said calmly.

He had analyzed multiple times to determine the acceptable price for the Principality of Kes to exchange the man-eating flower's stamen for ownership of 50,000 square kilometers of the eastern polar ice field. Coupled with Nubia's desire for this treasure, he was not worried that the deal would fall through.

"I agree."

Nubia readily agreed, "Since I offered double the price to acquire the heart of the man-eating flower, I was prepared to spend a fortune. Although the 50,000 square kilometers of polar ice field territory is incredibly valuable, I'm willing to pay it."

Compared to paying a large amount of gold coins and resources, the Principality of Kess was quite willing to exchange a piece of frozen soil that had been useless for many years for this treasure.

"Then we have reached an agreement. As for the formal signing and acceptance of the treaty, we can leave it to our subordinates. Your Highness Nubia can heal your injuries here first. Once the handover is complete, Your Highness can leave. I also wish Your Highness a speedy breakthrough to the third-class apprentice level."

"Of course! Thank you."

Lin Meng shook hands with him warmly.

After a brief exchange and a mutually satisfactory deal, Lin Meng had Goss arrange for them to stay at the lord's manor.

Besides preventing them from escaping, Lin Meng could also spar with the two great knights brought by Nubia.

Half a month later, Lin Meng suddenly sensed that a new map had appeared on the world fragment, which was the territory of the Duchy of Kess on the polar ice field.

"It's done."

A hint of joy appeared on Lin Meng's face.

Thus, Lin Meng brought another large territory, spanning over six million square kilometers of polar ice fields, under his control.

The white glow emanating from the map is the energy feedback that Lin Meng has been waiting for.

"My strength, attributes, and physique are sufficient for now. My focus for cultivation will be on the path of wizardry, which is directly related to my mental attributes. So..."

Lin Meng entered the cultivation room, quickly focused his mind, and guided the glowing light above the map to penetrate into his spiritual world.

After repeated meditations, his mental attribute had reached 2.8. As this layer of fluorescent light penetrated, his mental attribute immediately rose at an extremely rapid pace.

3.0!

3.5!

3.8!

A few minutes later, the mental attribute remained at a value of 3.8.

Compared to 2.8 a few minutes ago, the spirit has improved by a full 1 point.

At that moment, his mind became incredibly clear, as if the whole world had become bright.

This gave Lin Meng a feeling that his meditation on the Will Rune would become incredibly fast. What used to take about a week to meditate on a Will Rune could now be done in just one or two days.

Of course, this is based on him meditating for more than six hours every day. Even if an ordinary person has a spiritual level one level higher than the current cultivation level, it would take one or two weeks to achieve this through meditation.

That's not all...

"The connection to the physical body in the real world seems to have been slightly enhanced... It is said that those formal wizards with double-digit mental attributes can control their physical bodies in the real world while living in the wizarding world. If they control an avatar... once they reach that point, they won't need to log off every time they need to handle some trivial matters in the two worlds."
