Chapter 226: Harvest After More Than Half a Year

Chapter 226 Harvest After More Than Half a Year

Li Wei returned to the Mage Tower.

"Teacher, Bishop Dicks said he completely failed to perceive the Evil God's curse."

"The ritual to expel the curse was also performed, but there was no reaction whatsoever."

He recounted what had happened to Torresta.

To see what opinion he might have.

Torresta said, "It seems the Evil God's curse upon you is not simple; perhaps you must make a trip to the Light Temple."

"In a few days you will go to the Element Tower; it is not far from the Light Temple, so you may pay a visit."

Li Wei nodded. "There is no other choice."

He felt somewhat worried. "What if we cannot find the problem even at the Light Temple?"

Torresta said, "Then I fear true deities would have to intervene."

"Do not worry too much. If the Light Temple finds no curse, perhaps the curse does not exist at all."

Li Wei trusted the panel more.

Torresta paused for a moment before speaking. "There is another possibility."

Li Wei raised his head, looking at him, waiting for him to speak.

Torresta said, "If what you received was not a curse, but a blessing, the expulsion ritual would produce no effect."

Li Wei: "..."

Would he really be unable to distinguish between a blessing and a curse?

Besides, why would an Evil God bestow a blessing upon him?

Could it be they took a liking to him, choosing him as an Evil God's favored servant?

That trouble would be even greater!

Li Wei said, "Then I shall not disturb you further, Teacher. I will take my leave first."

"Mm."

Night, inside the study.

Li Wei looked at the Shadow Servant and said, "Watch me. Wake me up in one minute, by any means necessary."

"Yes, Master."

Hiding away forever was not a solution.

The more one evades, the greater the fear becomes.

Li Wei intended to face the fear directly.

He cast the Great Dream Wandering Technique and arrived at the safety room within the dream.

He glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, the safety room had not yet shown any abnormalities.

He looked out the window; outside remained the boundless river of dreams.

A scarlet giant star sat at the end of the river of dreams.

As if all the dream river waters flowed into the scarlet giant star.

Li Wei looked up; suspended high in the sky were one hundred and seven stars of various colors.

There seemed to be no changes at all.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he stared at that purple-black star in the sky for a long time.

The purple-black star was the Star Demon Eye that had appeared on Green Maple High Slope.

Under his gaze, the purple-black star showed no change.

"So, is that truly Yubis?"

Li Wei was uncertain in his heart as well.

The fact that the dream held no abnormalities was good news.

Hah!

The safety room shook violently, and a sensation of being pulled away came.

Li Wei rode the momentum and returned to the real world.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the Shadow Servant shaking him incessantly.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

The Shadow Servant stopped.

"Put me down."

The Shadow Servant placed the lifted Li Wei onto the ground.

Li Wei looked at him speechlessly. "I asked you to wake me, not to lift me up and shake me!"

The Shadow Servant tilted its head, confusion in its eyes. "Did you not say to use any means to wake you?"

Li Wei sensed the question in the Shadow Servant's eyes.

He waved his hand and sat in the chair.

"Enough, go back."

The Shadow Servant dived into the shadow and vanished.

Knock knock knock!

Li Wei's fingers tapped lightly on the desk as he thought.

Although an Evil God's curse had been added to his body, currently it seemed to have no effect on him.

Who knew what would happen in the future.

This thing still needed to be resolved sooner rather than later.

Li Wei planned that before the Evil God's curse was resolved, entering the dream world would be limited to cultivating spells within the safety room.

Standing inside the safety room and seeing everything normal outside. It does not mean it is truly normal.

October Third.

Li Wei was invited by Jimmy to the Spark Literature Society.

"Couldn't you just bring the royalties over to me? Why insist on calling me here?"

Jimmy smiled, pushed open the door, and invited Li Wei inside.

"Mage Li Wei, you will know once you go in."

Li Wei walked in.

Bang!

Fireworks exploded.

Inside the Spark Literature Society, decorations made it festive.

A banner proclaimed celebration of the novel Dragon Knight's massive sales and huge profits.

Truly simple and straightforward.

Gus led the applause welcoming Levi, while others in the Spark Literature Society followed suit, smiling and clapping.

Levi was somewhat surprised, "Why make such a grand occasion?"

Gus laughed, "Naturally, there is tremendous good news."

"Jimmy, hurry and lead Levi inside."

"Mage Levi, come with me."

Several people headed toward the president's office of the Spark Literature Society.

Merson and Monis were waiting here.

Having heard the noise outside earlier, upon seeing the door open, they smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mage Levi."

Levi looked at the two in surprise, "Is there good news? To make such a stir."

Merson and Monis exchanged glances, each seizing a corner of the red cloth on the table.

Whoosh!

The red cloth was pulled back, revealing tables laden with shimmering gold coins.

Merson said with a smile, "These are all your royalties, Mage Levi."

Levi was somewhat stunned.

He quickly realized, "Have the wandering merchants of the Treasure Basin Guild returned?"

Monis said with a smile, "Mage Levi remains clever."

"September royalties 22 gold coins 53 silver coins, Treasure Basin Guild's share 586 gold coins 47 silver coins 66 copper coins."

"Here totals 609 gold coins!"

Levi was greatly surprised, not expecting the share brought by the Treasure Basin Guild to be so substantial.

Gus also remarked, "I too did not expect earning so much money."

"According to the Treasure Basin Guild, next year's income may be higher; they have already partnered with local guilds and literature societies in certain towns to stabilize sales channels."

"A few days prior, the Treasure Basin Guild also negotiated with the Flowing Sand Guild, who agreed to bring the novels to the Central Plains World for sale."

Levi knew the Flowing Sand Guild belonged to Bas.

He was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Treasure Basin Guild to possess such a vast appetite.

Even the Northern Regions could not satisfy his ambition.

They actually desired to encroach upon the Central Plains World.

Levi naturally felt expectation.

He said with a smile, "Then I certainly cannot abandon this money tree."

Upon hearing this, Merson, Monis, and Gus all laughed aloud.

"Hahaha."

They all knew Levi was about to depart Maple City.

The reason for creating such a spectacle for Levi was holding onto this intention.

They were even less willing to abandon Levi, this money tree.

The explosive success of the Dragon Knight novel spurred the development of novels within the Spark Literature Society considerably.

Many hot-selling novels have already emerged.

Surpassing Dragon Knight is still far off, yet the prospects are promising.

The Spark Literature Society's income this year compared to last year has increased tenfold.

No one wishes to abandon such a money tree.

Merson accordingly invited Levi to lunch.

After the group dined together, Levi returned to the Mage Tower.

He glanced at the contributions on his magic badge and found someone to exchange them for currency.

Contributions are only useful within the Magic Tower.

Leaving the Magic Tower and heading to the Element Tower, gold coins are still more practical.

After exchanging all contributions on hand, the gold coins in Levi's pocket jumped past four digits.

Levi counted briefly and found total assets reached 1,530 gold coins.

This time, he finally secured a wealthy beginning.
