BXBX NOVEL Chapter 522 - 'Starting A War'
Chapter 522 - "Starting A War"
"I told you not to work anymore! If you want to do something, just leave it to us, okay?" Grandpa Yofan strode to the bed and immediately flicked the baby’s forehead.
Ainsley groaned a bit while rubbing her red forehead before pouting at Grandpa Yofan.
"But Gwandpa, I only instwuct our pweople to do twings for me..."
Ainsley looked at Grandpa Yofan with puppy-like eyes, trying to charm him, yet the old man didn’t budge.
"Hmph. Don’t try to escape using your charm ability. This old man is still angry at you."
Grandpa Yofan threw a tantrum as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"You should have told Grandpa what you wanted to do. Grandpa can help you..."
Seeing Grandpa Yofan like that, Ainsley could only pretend to obey.
"Owkay, owkay...Ain will ask Gwandpa next time." Ainsley grumbled and lamented over the fact that she couldn’t make Grandpa Yofan spoil her anymore.
After all, Grandpa Yofan was already somewhat immune to Ainsley’s cuteness after seeing her face and experiencing her charm ability several times.
This was another thing that Ainsley discovered.
The more she used her charm ability on a specific person, the more charm immunity the person would have.
For example, by now, the five buds were already numb to Ainsley’s charm ability but still adored her because they truly loved her.
The same went for Ainsley’s close people like Elliana, Axelle, and Cellino.
The momma raptor and the baby raptors were all immune too. Vallan was also somewhat immune now, but since Ainsley didn’t use too many charms on the dude, it was still effective.
’I have to be careful about using my charm ability on the same person over and over again. It might not be a good choice.’
However, the good thing was, as long as the person’s immunity toward her charm wasn’t that high, Ainsley could still use her charm, and it would be effective...
Even when the person was immune to another person’s charm.
It was like how someone could be immune toward Covid19 type A but might not be immune toward new variants.
Of course, there was always someone out there who would be naturally immune toward any kind of charms...but Ainsley had never seen anyone like this so far.
’If only there’s a way to tell a person’s immunity toward my charm...it will be more efficient.’
Ainsley sighed while listening to Grandpa Yofan’s long lecture. The old man only let go of Ainsley when it’s dinner time.
With a weary face after getting scolded for a whole hour, Ainsley went to eat before returning to bed early. Of course, it’s not to sleep...but to discuss the first chain quest...
Expanding the territory!
Ainsley sat on the bed with Cellino on her lap, Zev in front of her, and the Godfather spirit next to her.
Cellino couldn’t see Zev, but since he could see Godfather due to his contract with Ainsley, he was somewhat included in the secret meeting.
[So, guys. We will discuss territorial expansion. We need 5 more valuable territories that don’t have dirty businesses.]
Ainsley didn’t bother to use her cutesy language since she’s not trying to be cute to anyone in the room. Using cutesy language was only when she needed to lower others’ guard toward her.
At Ainsley’s serious tone and stern face, the other three also straightened their backs and nodded solemnly.
[Awooo, master, I think I know some areas with abundant monsters...for you, it can be considered valuable because you can tame them, awooo.]
Cellino tried to give his opinion, and Zev immediately showed the map of the area that Cellino was talking about.
[This, here. It’s xxroid valley, a place where many monsters lurk. It’s at the border of the Roane Region and the Crimson Lily Region.]
The Crimson Lily Region was a region near Roane, and it was famous for its flora. Many beasts and monsters would lurk there, especially herbivore-type beasts or monsters.
After all, the Crimson Lily region had abundant unique flora that even the alchemists sought after for their potion ingredients.
[However, this xxroid valley is under three high-ranked families’ management, awooo. They are affiliated with the 7 sacred families and the 7 great families.]
[How many are affiliated with the 7 sacred families?]
[Only one. The Dragzaval Family.]
[Hmm, the other two families...are they the Walter Family’s affiliated families?]
[No. One is affiliated with the Meridian Family of the 7 greatest, and the other one is affiliated with the Loiza Family, still from the 7 greatest.]
When Ainsley heard the word Loiza, she remembered the family she encountered before entering the capital. The butler that annoyed her came from the Loiza Family...
[Are Meridian and the Loiza Family close to the Walter Family?]
[Not really. But because they’re on the same side, they never fight each other. The affiliated families also never attack each other.]
[So...since we are the Walter Family’s ally, we shouldn’t attack the other two affiliated families, right?]
[Yep. But you can steal the portion belonging to the other family affiliated with the 7 sacred families.] Cellino winked at Ainsley.
In the end, that’s what he wanted, anyway.
[Good. That’s good. We will include this xxroid valley into our list of valuable territories...ah, the size of the territory doesn’t matter, right? Since we will only get ⅓ of the whole valley...]
[It doesn’t matter.] Zev immediately responded.
[If so...let’s start attacking xxroid valley as soon as we can...let’s bring some of our military forces there.]
[Good idea. When will you depart?] The Godfather licked the corner of his lips, already impatient to start this territorial war.
[We depart this week after my holiday is over!]
It’s time to start another war.
