This Lord is Very Scientific

Azaenn Castle.

Madam Antova quickly walked through the corridor and then slowed her pace when she reached Fulon's bedroom door.

Standing at the door, she raised her hand to knock, but hesitated for a moment.

"Sister, come in!" Fulon's voice came from inside: "I heard your footsteps!"

Antova was not sure how her light footsteps could be heard by Fulon, but she opened the door nonetheless upon hearing this.

Inside, Fulon was teaching Little Nuomi to read, with two massive creatures lying at her feet.

One was a leopard, the other a deep blue tiger.

The two felines were resting, and upon seeing Antova enter, merely opened their eyes briefly, recognizing her as a familiar person before closing them again.

The servants of Azaenn Castle were accustomed to these two felines, as they were raised by Antova and Fulon since childhood.

"Mama, hug!"

Little Nuomi stretched out her chubby little hands with a cheerful smile upon seeing Antova enter.

Seeing Little Nuomi, Antova's previously tense expression softened, revealing a motherly smile, and she stepped forward to pick up Little Nuomi: "Have you been listening to your aunt today?"

"Yes, yes!" Little Nuomi's cheeks showed two small dimples: "Little Nuomi is the best, Aunt smells nice, I like."

"Good." Antova patted Little Nuomi's head, beaming with a smile.

"Sister, has something happened?" Fulon looked at Antova with a smile, seemingly as usual.

Antova hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister, don't go out lately. Stay in the castle... No, you should take Little Nuomi to stay at the Great Wilderness Tower for a while."

"What's going on, Sister? If we go, let's go together." Fulon's eyes were filled with confusion: "With the Mist Princess and the Marquis of Giant Sword watching over us, who would dare to target us?"

Although now over thirty, Fulon still looked youthful and tender, her skin as smooth as someone in their twenties.

Antova's skin seemed to show some signs of aging, but overall, she still retained her charm.

"These things are unpredictable..." Antova explained the recent events.

Fulon was aware of Lin Ke's race, which could produce Gold Essence, Mithril, and Iron Marrow.

However, Fulon was unaware of the recent findings by the Ministry of Agriculture.

Upon hearing what Antova said, Fulon understood the seriousness of the situation.

The eye of the storm!

Great Wilderness City was in the eye of the storm, as was Azaenn!

Races capable of producing Gold Essence, Mithril, and Iron Marrow were already very rare.

Yet, Great Wilderness City even managed to cultivate something like the Mark Tree.

Other past items might have been just novelties, but the Mark Tree was different.

This was a strategic resource!

Even legends and deities might make a move for such a thing.

After all, many legends had their own powers to sustain, let alone deities, as many sub-planes had countless believers as long as there was food.

"Sister, how about this, you go to Great Wilderness City, and I'll stay here." Fulon looked at Antova with determined eyes.

"What? No way, you need to go to Great Wilderness City." Antova seemed surprised but still shook her head to refuse: "If you fall into enemy hands, Little Lin Ke will be in a disadvantageous position."

"No, if I go to Great Wilderness City, then Great Wilderness City will be at a disadvantage." Fulon's eyes sparkled with a certain light: "Besides... Sister, Little Lin Ke left me some precautions. Even if a legend came, they might not leave."

"Precautions?" Antova was skeptical.

"Yes, Sister, I will stay and preside over Azaenn, while Great Wilderness City is in your hands." Fulon nodded slightly and added, "We cannot become a burden to Little Lin Ke."

Antova frowned thoughtfully, but soon formed a plan in her heart and said, "Okay, you stay here, and I will go to Great Wilderness City... I have some arrangements, and I'll have Little Ao Fei tell you later."

She picked up Little Nuomi and hurried out.

She planned to have Lady Heishan invite two legends back, since many of the forces in Great Wilderness City were overt, she needed to be prepared with a couple of hidden aces.

And now, she was heading to Great Wilderness City, then the Mist Princess could come to guard Azaenn Castle.

No one would expect the Mist Princess, who guarded Great Wilderness City, to come to Azaenn Castle.

After all, in the eyes of the people, Great Wilderness City was of utmost importance, Azaenn was just a small Viscount's domain.

However, there were many Kings of Magical Beasts in Great Wilderness City, making it hard to break through.

Though it was unpredictable.

Antova was now going to the city hall because it was leaderless at the moment.

Neither Watson from the Department of Industry, Bald Jack from the Department of Personnel, nor Lady Heshan, Xiangnai, and others could take control of the situation.

Antova's status barely sufficed to gain everyone's trust.

Leaving Fulon alone in Azaenn to draw all the attention to Great Wilderness City was also a good plan.

"Do you remember who you are?" Antova asked the maid beside her.

"I am Fulon, Sister." The maid replied.

"Good." Antova nodded and then led the maid downstairs.

During their descent, servants continuously packed things and moved out, leaving only a few to attend to Fulon.

At the doorway, Antova looked at a guard and said: "After Fulon and I leave, Azaenn Castle will be closed, and you should return to the village as soon as possible... Also, remember to inform the Azanen Legion to head to Great Wilderness City for orders."
