Old Holt had stars coming out of his eyes as he said: "I knew you were special!!! You are the have the greatest talent that ever existed in the history of this empire!!"
Old Nel with a proud look on his face said: "HMPH!!! He has the greatest talent in the world. Even those from the continent central aren't as talented as him!!"
Hearing them bragging about my talent, I roll my eyes. They just called me a monster…. Whatever, I want to see what my new summons!!! I have to send these old men away, but let's give them a little punishment for insulting me….
I looked at them as I said: " Thank you for your compliments. But, don't you think that you have work to do? What happened to the report I asked for about the gold mines and herb fields? What happened to the report about the demi-humans, elfes, and dwarves tribes in Secluded State? Did you manage to make a successful connection with them? What about Limore Kingdom, did you arrange for trade deal meetings? You still have a lot of unfinished work to do!!"
The three old men had sweat cover their pale faces. They have been forced to work for 2 years without a day to rest. The word work became a trauma to them.
Old Nel said: " We are still finalizing the report it should be ready tomorrow. But, we can't find the reason behind the restoration of the gold mines and herbs fields. For the others, we still need more time.... We will take our leave." All the three old men took their leave afraid I will ask them to do more work.
After arriving at my room, I said: "Shadow 1, clear the area. No one allowed here not even shadow guards."
A man dressed in black armor appeared from the shadow of the room while kneeling, he said: "Yes, my lord. Not a single soul will be here." and disappeared into the shadows again.
Thinking about the new mission assigned by the system. They are not difficult but require a lot of time and effort. Becoming a master artist is going to take a lot of time from me. But the rewards are going to be satisfying. For the knowledge mission, it looks like I already know 4 subjects except for war studies. Hmm… I will have Thor come and teach me later.
For the Empress Dowager mission, I think it's too early to go and meet her now. Also, I would require the help of a treasure to cure her illness and purify the poison in her body. The solution is quite simple, I can let Veldora go and get it anytime I want to. But, I need the best opportunity to help her. If I went to her without any reason or invitation, I think she might not support me, because she would be suspicious of my intentions.
While I was thinking, Kurma told me the area is clear. Looking around with the golden mask, I found no one around me. So, I opened my inventory and see two tickets one is white and the other is silver.
[ Mid Level Summon Ticket: Summon one mid-rank loyal servant or several low levels loyal servant squad.

Then I clicked on the Start Summon on both of the screens. White and silver fog covered the room while the wind started to rage around.
After a while, the fog started to disappear showing the shadow of 11 people.

After the fog disappeared, I can see 10 old people with different races and a beautiful woman with golden hair and sky blue eyes wearing a maid dress. The 10 old men were looking around with happy faces some of them whispering "rich qi.... a lot of qi!!!".
The moment they noticed me, all of them knelt for me while saying: "Greetings, my lord."
I replied : "Hello, nice to meet you. You can stand up. My name is Liam Von Vermilion. It's my pleasure to meet you. Could you tell me about yourself?"
An old dwarf came forward and said: " I am Elder 1, the leader of this brilliant group, my lord. We are smart people who have different skills. We can make anything you can dream of, my lord! We hold great knowledge! We don't have a name, please name us anything you like."
I nod my head at the old dwarf and said: " Since I don't know a lot about you, I will call you based on your numbers for now. You called yourself Elder 1, so the others must have a rank or a number in your group. ….….. Hmm, What about you?" I give my focus to the beauty wearing maid dress and asked her.
She came forward as she said: "Greetings, my lord. I can be your personal maid. I am also very knowledgeable in arts. I used to be a princess and a queen before I became a personal maid. Please name anything you would like my lord." While smiling brightly.
She will be very helpful for me in learning arts. Also, I need a personal maid that can help me. The maids prepared by Thor are…. Hmmm How do I say it...They are too manly? They are making me feel like I am living inside a military base. They keep giving military salutes every time they see me. Also, the food is very bad!!! They are making normal military food for every meal. Not to mansion their morning training which is too annoying.
The three old men kept beginning me to bring other cute maids especially Old Nel he kept crying nonstop for some reason. Old Nel said that they are beautiful but their personality is ugly and not cute. According to Thor, these maids used to be working in the red light district and running a small gang there to steal rich people. After subduing them, he trained them and sent them here.
Thinking for a while I said: " Your name will be Lucy. You will be my personal maid from now on."
Lucy smiled as she said: "Thank you, my lord. I will help you to the best of my abilities."
I look at Elder 1 again and told him the current situation of the Secluded State. After the explanation, I said: " The three old men are good with politics and management. But, they can't help me much with developing the Secluded State and having more races to come and coexist in one place. Since you are a mixed-race group and hold great knowledge. I want you to start improving the Secluded State. I want this state to be able to rival this empire in 6 years! Can you do it?"
An Elf woman came forward saying: " Greetings, my lord. I am Elder 2. It's an issue to improve this state. Me, Elder 4 and Elder 5 are capable to help you with the current situation of the State. My specialty is agriculture and herbal science. Elder 4's specialties are business management and economics engineering. Elder 5's specialty is architect building. The others won't help as much with the current situation. "
Elder 1 came forward as he said: "The improvement of the State would require multiple stages. First, establishing stable foundations. Second, cultural agreements and social gathering to combine different races. Third, improving the schooling system! These are our priorities for now. We other elders could be of more help to you for example building advance armors and strong weapons. We have mastered the formations and seals science! If you can provide us with a place with rich qi we are able to create more strong weapons for you."
I nodded my head then I turned my head as I said to Veldora who was standing behind me: " Veldora, take the other 7 to the mansion at the corner of the city. After that go to the Rich Spiritual Land I told you about. It's time to take it!"
Veldora had his eyes shining, he said full of greed: " So, it's time to move there, my lord. Hehheee. I will do it right now!!!"
