Chapter 239 - 147: Advancing to Senior-tier Druid
With Abby Jackson as an example, the listed lords in the path of the Northern Expedition Legion flocked to the Points Shop to purchase "Territory Transfer Talismans."
If there was a merchant behind the Points Shop, they would surely be thanking the Northern Expedition Legion for boosting their sales so much.
However, not all the listed lords were able to purchase a "Territory Transfer Talisman."
Some of these lords had already spent a portion of their points, so they were now short and had to scramble to borrow points from others.
Unfortunately, a small number of listed lords were ultimately unable to scrape together the one hundred thousand points needed to afford a "Territory Transfer Talisman." They could only hurry to prepare their defenses and brace themselves against the Northern Expedition Legion.
The Northern Expedition Legion, meanwhile, moved north at an unhurried pace, collecting protection fees along the way.
The peripheral lords weren’t in a hurry at all. They were currently earning at least 1,000 points per day. By the end of the month, with 30,000 points in hand, it would be more than enough for them to return to Cuiwei Star and live comfortably.
When some of the Civilian Lords along the route heard about this income, many couldn’t resist joining them, becoming peripheral lords in the Northern Expedition Legion themselves.
Most of them, however, only brought a small contingent of troops, their primary objective being to collect protection fees.
Mei Yuan didn’t mind these hangers-on. His main objectives, besides digging for Space Stones and attacking the listed lords, now included converting the lords they encountered on their path to earn even greater merit for himself.
Regardless of these new lords’ motives, the ranks of the Northern Expedition Legion continued to swell.
...
Lin Yu began preparing for his Senior-tier Druid examination at the start of the month. After entrusting territorial affairs to Lin Chenxi and Phantom, he had stopped concerning himself with such matters.
Finally, after more than half a month, he successfully advanced to Senior-tier Druid. This was a bit faster than his teacher from the Jade Sanctuary, Renado, had predicted, a feat he owed to frequently immersing himself in the Territory Heart to learn through the World Tree over the past month.
