I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Dan Port, Mercenary Guild.

Lis walked out from inside, followed by a pot-bellied middle-aged man.

"Mr. Lis, I will handle the items you requested immediately, please rest assured."

The middle-aged man's face was full of obsequiousness as he actively complimented Lis.

He had no choice, as the generous reward offered by this big shot was double the standard rate for similar jobs; the only requirement was that it had to be done quickly.

Yet he was confident he could complete it. Although equipping an ocean-going merchant ship with a crew was a large project, for him, a local tyrant of Dan Port, it was merely a little troublesome, not particularly difficult.

"Well, make it quick, notify me at the tavern where I am staying as soon as there is any news."

Lis nodded and then turned to leave.

After posting the job at the Mercenary Tavern, it did not take long for a local tyrant to approach him saying that it would take about a week to prepare the ship and sailors, and to load various supplies onboard.

Of course, it wasn't cheap!

Although Lis had carried over his good habit of being meticulous with money from his past life as a player, he did not hesitate when it was time to invest upfront.

Walking on the streets of Dan Port, Lis found himself with some free time after arranging everything.

Perhaps he should grab something to eat and bring some back for Helen and the others.

Thinking this, Lis headed towards the western side streets of Dan Port.

Having visited Dan Port in his previous life, Lis naturally knew where the restaurants were concentrated.

Seafood, particularly fresh fish and shellfish, dominates the cuisine in the coastal areas of the Boditch Kingdom.

In his previous life, Lis quite enjoyed the fried oysters and grilled fish while wandering in this region.

The weather in Dan Port was no longer chilly at all. Lis, having left the Dillon Kingdom, quite enjoyed the warmth of the sunlight on his skin.

The cold of the Dillon Kingdom's winters was something even Lis's constitution could not completely withstand; he always needed to be mindful of keeping warm.

While it was not a big problem for him, who doesn't prefer a warm and comfortable environment?

This was probably why the Dilon people so desperately desired the lands to the south!

Because Dan Port is adjacent to the sea and often faces the harsh weather of fierce storms, most of its buildings are relatively low and are mostly made of bricks and stones.

The pedestrians on the street were also in a hurry, and Lis even saw many merchants dressed in Feis Kingdom attire.

Logically, since the Feis Kingdom was currently invading the Boditch Kingdom, the civilians of the Boditch Kingdom should be hostile towards the people of Feis, but in Lis's view, many traders from the Feis Kingdom seemed to be getting along quite well with the Bodici.

It seems that aside from the Kingdom Nobles who hold the most interests, no one cares about the survival of the Boditch Kingdom.

It's just the nobles reaping what they sowed.

Lis shook his head; this also benefitted him by making it easier to rapidly take control of Danerluo Port.

Just as Lis was heading towards a restaurant he remembered, he suddenly heard several shouts of anger as well as the clear sound of clashing weapons.

"Stop struggling, Charles!"

"You can't escape, just come back with us!"

...

"You're dreaming! Think you can catch me? Maybe in your next life!"

"Three incompetents, only know how to ambush like cowards."

"Just wait, one day I'll twist your heads off and stuff them into your asses."

At that moment, a familiar voice swearing rang in Lis's ears.

Lis paused, looking in the direction the voice was coming from.

He saw several people tangled together, rushing towards his direction,

It appeared to be three people attacking one, with the fight being fiercely intense, their weapons repeatedly targeting each other's vital points, causing nearby pedestrians and merchants to hurriedly dodge out of the way.

Although there were many Extraordinary Professionals in Dan Port, such fierce battles in broad daylight were still rare.

Lis could tell that the three teaming up against one were two warriors and a hunter.

And the one being attacked was Charles, a mercenary from the Mermaid.

He was cursively managing to hold them off, no longer able to hide his true strength.

Charles was frustrated, Charles wanted to curse!

He just wanted to relax by taking a walk, how did he run into the people from the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Church?

Was his luck really that bad?

The three men attacking him were not weak, although none of them were as strong as he, but they were all silver-level professionals.

He had to remove the weights from his body and unleash all his strength just to survive the assault by the three of them.

Using a Short Sword, he blocked a Longsword slashing towards his body and swiftly aimed to slice at his opponent's right hand, but at that moment an arrow wrapped in blue light shooting towards him from not far away forced Charles to retreat, missing the opportunity he had barely seized.

Another warrior wielding a Long Spear ferociously smashed it towards his chest, and Charles no longer had time to bring back his Dagger to block; he could only raise his forearm in front of his chest, ready to take the hit head-on.

Bang!

Charles was thrown backwards, crashing into a house by the street and raising a cloud of dust.

"Give up, Charles."

"We have been waiting for you a long time, just talk about the Oak Council affairs and we'll let you die quickly."

"Otherwise, I'll chop you up and feed you to my pets!"
