The Legendary Mage (Alavin) novel Chapter 228

"It is done!" Alavin nodded, equally thrilled. After three days and nights of relentless effort, without rest, Alavin had tapped into his extraordinary capacity for understanding, mastering the third form of the Grand Arcanum of the Blade and the first two segments of True Thunder. However, it was the insights from Shadowbringer that brought him immense joy. He now felt a power within him like a surging river.

From Novice Mage to Advanced Mage, it was a complete transformation!

Balder gave a hearty thumbs up—what a prodigy!

"Alavin, what's done?" Dainis still radiated her soft, delicate composure, her demeanor elegant and calm.

"Good news," Alavin smiled.

"Still a secret from me, is it?"

At that moment, Felir approached quickly, his expression grave. "Trouble has come."

"What's amiss?"

"A host of a thousand stands at the city gates, claiming to be the Mollen family's troops; they demand entry."

"The Mollen family? What's that?"

"The greatest merchant guild of the Northlands, The Thousand Treasures Commerce!"

"How did they get here?" Dainis exclaimed in surprise. The Mollen family was somewhat unfamiliar, but the Thousand Treasures Commerce was as well-known. In the lands of the Northlands, aside from the Eight Orders and Five Lords, there were many important entities, such as the Warriors' Vale's family of Doramon, the Thousand Treasures Commerce, and the Amber Valley known for its assassination contracts, and even the Iron family, rumored to be transcendent of all factions!

The branches of the Thousand Treasures Commerce spread throughout the Northlands and even had close ties with organizations in other regions, including Cobalt Strike. It was said that even the Cobalt Strike Commander showed great courtesy to the chieftain of the Mollen family.

"The specifics are unclear, but father has already rushed to the city gates to negotiate."

"Let's go see what's happening." Dainis was puzzled. Could it be that the Mollen family had spotted a business opportunity in Stormcast's rebuilding? If they got involved, Golden Scorch would have a hard time refusing. After all, their status and power were on a completely different level.
