“Commoners are foolish. If they were to gain power which they can’t control, they’ll have their heads in the clouds and become conceited. It’s only by letting them maintain the current status quo that they behave themselves and not step out of line.”
Just then, an official walked in and presented a document.
“Your Majesty, this is the report for the arbitration in the Great Western Region regarding the Rebirth Sword Technique.”
The figure in the light received the document. Not long later, his voice rang out,”Alright, I think this Rebirth Sword Technique is quite good. Let it be approved.”
Hearing the King’s words, the First Prince’s eyes opened wide, and he immediately wanted to persuade the King otherwise.”Your Majesty!”
“Alright, George. The one who reigns must have a broadminded heart. How can you not even be able to accept a mere sword technique? So what even if they were to cultivate the Rebirth Sword Technique? Is the Ancient Path of Hell not sufficient for you?
“Men from our Krieg Clan can still suppress and lead over the rest. If you don’t even have such boldness, how can you possibly become a King?”
The First Prince could only nod slightly, not refuting the King’s words. However, the viciousness in his eyes continued to surge. He clearly did not agree with what the King had said.
The Second Prince heaved a sigh of relief. With the King’s orders, this matter had finally came to a conclusion.
With that, most Knights and Knight apprentices would have the chance to cultivate the Rebirth Sword Technique, and all citizens would stand to gain from this.
…
A few days later, the moment Ferdinand opened the door, groups of people were waiting outside for him, smiling and greeting him.
“Lord Ferdinand.”
“Sir, you’ve woken up. This is the Seven Flames Grass I’ve specially bought.”
“Lord Ferdinand, what do you think of giving the rights to the sword technique to our Eastern Illumination Dojo…”
Ferdinand smiled with great satisfaction when he saw how the crowd was coming after him and trying to get into his good books, all in order to get the authorizations at a good price for the Rebirth Sword Technique.
Controlling money and influence, with countless Knights lying in prostrate before him… Was this not his dream? Although he was a still a little bit away from his goal, he was starting to get closer to it.
Just then, Anthony ran over while panting, his face full of elation.”Ferdinand, they’re sold out! They’re all sold out again! All 100,000 copies of the “The Secrets to Swords Training”! We’ve contacted quite a few printing houses, but there isn’t enough time.”
Ferdinand smiled. He could foresee that as the Rebirth Sword Technique was picked up by most of the Empire’s or even the northern academies and factions, Fang Xingjian’s “The Secrets to Swords Training” would become more and more popular.
However, thinking of this, Ferdinand shook his head in pity.”It’s a pity that pirated copies can only be forbidden within the Great Western Region.”
As if hearing his words, a representative from the Eastern Illumination Dojo smiled and said,”Sir, our Eastern Illumination Dojo can order 500 copies of it every year. We’ll make it a compulsory reading for everyone in our dojo.”
The others reacted very quickly as well,”Our Olivier Academy can order 1,000 copies.”
“Our Keta War Academy will order 1,500 copies.”
Ferdinand smiled and waved his hand.”Alright, alright. Everyone, please remain calm. We’ll take records of your interest one by one.” This feeling of having power, where any simple word of his could bring in countless gold. This feeling of being able to earn over 10,000 gold everyday… Ferdinand could not get enough of it.
…
In another place, deep under the Great Western Region Regional Academy, there was a cell which was pitch-black, humid, and filled with feelings of vengeance.
Sword Saint Sasa opened his eyes slowly. He struggled a little bit to discover that something had suppressed his body, preventing him from moving at all.
