Chapter 87

Taylor nodded as he noted down the details, "Okay, I will immediately inform them about the importance of this meeting, are there any other orders?"

John thought and asked, "Hmm . . . When are the tests going to take place exactly?"

Taylor replied, "It will be 4 days later in the afternoon, we had also decided to relay the news about new laws and the police force which will be implemented . It was decided earlier by all the officials as they thought it will give a bigger impact among the populace,"

John thought a bit and spoke, "Hmm . . . Okay, no need for any changes, bring me Tornwall and Jake later on . "

****

Both Tornwall and Jake arrived at John’s chamber,

John spoke to them, "As you know, this is an important meeting so I will get straight on the topic of discussion, As you know we have already offended a lot of people and watching our weakness the Royal family will likely make a move on us sooner or later . For such a situation I had already made a lot of preparations . This book in front of you is the latest weapon which I designed . I didn’t take it out earlier as there was no need to bring it out and there was a problem of secrecy . No one apart from both of you knows about the existence of this weapon . First, Tornwall I want you to make this weapon into multiple parts from which people will not be able to tell about the usage of this weapon . Everyone will only be involved in a single process which would reduce the leakage of all the information about this weapon . Second, Jake, I want you to create a force that would work directly under me, you will head the force and their most important task would be to collect information, internally as well as externally from both our enemies and allies . As for the funds, you can ask for them directly from Taylor, this weapon will first be introduced to your force, I hope you do a good job when you hire people for this force . Both of you can ask your questions now . "

John signaled as Tornwall asked him,

Tornwall asked hesitatingly, "Lord when you said no one, did that include Bluesea family and your Masters Melanie and Vlad as well?"

John nodded and smiled as he spoke to both of them, "Yes no one knows about this weapon fully, only you both know about it, I tried to divide the weapon and have George and Ron make the guns but they were unable to make it because of technological hurdles . However, you don’t need to worry as they don’t know about the formula of gunpowder to use this weapon . And because of the chances of leakage by the elders of Bluesea family, I preferred to keep this a secret as long as we can . So what do you think about this weapon?"

Tornwall watched the designs very carefully as he gave his thoughts, "I don’t know about other things but these designs are very precise . As for other things we would have to test the gunpowder mentioned in the design . I had seen such a formula in Dwarf kingdom but it was different from what I know . A lot of our guys were experimenting on that thing . "

John looked seriously at both of them, "Quite true as you haven’t tested this gunpowder, however, this would be one of the biggest military secrets of North-frontier town so I prefer it to be classified . What is the progress of the machines in the brewery? I want you to focus on building these guns, Ballistas and Runic shells of Ballistas . "

Tornwall understood as they needed to be prepared, "No worries Lord, it is already built, I wanted to make its announcement 2 days later after running more tests however it can start working if we want to proceed and focus more on weapons from now on . I have already given most of the work for wheelbarrows, Bicycles and Snowboards to the main workshop in the town and other small shops of Ron and George in the town . They were quite happy after getting the order of Wheelbarrows as this increased their income . Recently George wanted to meet you but as you were busy, he wanted to pass on a message . "

John laughed after some good news, "Hahaha, Okay, I will meet him later on since it is important, it is good that we are ahead of schedule . You guys can go after having lunch since it is already late, Taylor, lead them both to the dining hall, I will be attending other matters, bring me George’s letter next time when you come with reports . "

John used all the experience points this time around to increase his authority in the system .

Sarah replied in a cold voice, "Congratulations to host for upgrading the system to the 3rd level . There will be increased features from now on . You have also received a free gift box . "

"Congratulations to Host by successfully acquiring North-frontier with the formation of various administrations in your domain . To encourage the host to make more transactio . . . I meant to develop his domain faster, from now on there will be a new feature called reputations and there will be goals which would give the host more access to the resources of the system .

Reputation points will be divided into two parts,

1 . Internal reputation points, this will only include your domain, Your current reputation is 74/100 . People are happy with your policies however they are still worried about the winter . (A tip of reminder, some people are collecting money in case you don’t have any after spending it all) and

2 . External Reputation points . this will only include the Aelius kingdom for now . (excluding your own domain,) your current reputation is 14/100 among the outside masses . Most people (this includes commoners) only take you as an upstart without any real power . From now on, you can acquire certain premium items after reaching a certain amount of reputation points .

Your current goals are 1 . Expand your territory successfully in the wilds . (Awards would be upgrading Authority level from now on . The Next authority upgrade will cost you 10 million exp points so transact more . . ahem I mean achieve my goals . . . I meant your goals, Due to the increased amount of transactions and successfully acquiring your own domain . From now on, you will gain experiences by developing your own town, this includes all the things, economic, social, cultural, political and military developments, instead of transactions so don’t nag as it was only the beginners offer, haha, you should have bought the blueprints earlier when you had the chance . )

2 . There is danger looming in the east, successfully invade the eastern port to the north or acquire Lands North of the eastern city to reveal the hidden danger . "

John thought in anger as he heard the new notifications, ’Did this bitch just jack up the prices so I spend more acquiring her expensive blueprints . I can’t get free gifts from system Upgrade?

And what do you mean my goals? it’s her goal obviously . The heck, no exp from transactions from now on? Damn, I hate it, more work from now on .

Well thinking calmly, Something is brewing up in east? Well, I still got some useful information, it might be related to that arrogant noble, Evan . I better increase my surveillance in the east sea town from now on . ’
