THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 262. Ceremony

Sam does not know that Watt is thinking about his needs and may be looking for a partner. He entered the divine dimension as soon as he entered the room.

He immediately started working on the panther. The first thing he had to do was make them consume scorpion fire poison and spider wind poison.

Then he had to use some refining techniques in order for the body and core of the beast to be stable.

He didn't have to do all the work himself, he could leave it to Yanwu and Sky who had inherently great elemental control.

He just needs to make sure that it is initially stable and there are no hiccups.

The next day, at dawn, the city was bustling with life and strength.

All the citizens and nobles celebrated. Although the war was won a few days ago, the celebration was held on this day as today was the official announcement day.

Sam and his friends attend the ceremony escorted by a Marshall in a special carriage dragged by a Level 6 Horse-type beast. Sam had to say that he was flattered.

He did not expect this level of acceptance.

They were led to their designated seats.

Ceremonies were held in the imperial palace grounds.

There's a big stage on the ground. The stage has a long horizontal table with seats for the Emperor, the empress and several important officials.

Under the stage, there were thousands of seats arranged in rows and behind the rows, there were many commoners present to watch the ceremony.

The chair is divided into two parts. On one side were invited guests such as nobles, merchants, people from the four professional towers and on the other there were soldiers, generals and many others who were great meritorious in the war.

There are several people associated with the deceased and they are arranged to sit in the same division.

Sam and his friends got first row seats in the second division.

Within five minutes, the emperor and empress arrived on the stage. Followed by two Marshall, the ministers and so on.

All the spectators stood up to show respect and after that, the ceremony began.

The standing arc spoke to the people after letting them sit down.

"Today, I am here to announce that Arian who has been divided into several kingdoms due to the actions of some foolish rebels has now reunited. I am proud to announce that the entire western continent is now an Arian kingdom.

Today, we are all here to celebrate this victory and appreciate the efforts of the people who contributed to this happening…

Shortly thereafter, the awarding began. Many people had gained merit in the war and were awarded the new land they conquered. Some were given new noble titles, some were given promotions, some were given honorary medals.

The awards ceremony lasted for hours and after more than five hours, it was Sam's turn.

Exactly right. Sam was also awarded and this was more of a transaction than an award.

This is the last part of the deal Sam made with Arc.

When Sam's name was called, most of them were shocked and confused. Few people know who Sam is and what contribution he made in the war.

He was the reason why the entire Orion collapsed that quickly. His military training methods, his contribution in destroying resource points, he even killed emperors.

Any contribution could earn him the title of War hero but he did it all.

Sam wore his black fur coat everyday and all his professional badges were pinned on his chest.

The Emperor stood beside him and spoke to the audience.

"He is Sam. An eighteen-year-old Great realm cultivator. Not many people know him. But he was the biggest contributor to the war.

He destroyed the mines, the herb fields, and so many Orion resources. He was the one who created our army training system and he was the one who killed Emperor Orion."

His words shocked the entire audience including the ministers who were on stage.

Only Marshall, a few generals and a few other soldiers knew of Sam's involvement. Ministers and even empresses were not involved because of the possibility they were using politics to disrupt the war.

No one wants a variable that can affect their position.

Now, that's impossible, because Sam's gift is something too attractive to give him without notice or words.

"For all the incredible contributions Sam has made, I rewarded him with a city and it was the former capital of the Orion empire.

From now on the city will be called Sam's city.

By bestowing the city, I do not intend to make him the ruler of the city. This city really belongs to him.

Including all land and property. Everything on the capital's wall now belongs to Sam."

His words completely silenced the uproar of the people. They're really dumbfounded.

A few ministers stood up from their seats and were about to say something, but a single glare from their emperor sat back as if it was instinct.

Sam picks up the scroll that was the deed for his town, while Arc slips something into Sam's hand and returns to his seat.

This is the deal. This was part of the transaction he had made with Ark.

The entire imperial capital.

This city will be the base he will build and at the same time, his new ATM machine. He would become the highest taxpayer of the empire based on this place.

The ceremony is over and everything is done. He came to his house and was getting ready to leave the capital, but before that he had to visit a professional tower to discuss some construction projects.

He had to redo everything in the imperial capital for his purposes and also discuss some deals they might be able to work on together.

But even before he could go and discuss someone came to his house and that person was the attendant of the Artisan tower.

He didn't know what this was about, but he had to leave no matter what.

That night he visited the Artisan Tower. The attendant who had invited him was already waiting for him at the entrance and escorted him to the meeting room and he was surprised to see the queue.

There were over twenty people in the room all seated and the thing was recognized by more than half. Because they're from Orion. The head of the tower tower of the imperial capital and some of the main staff were here, then the head of the south star tower and he even saw Chaya here.

He didn't know what was going on, but he was very sure that it was something big.

He sat on the designated chair and a middle-aged man who was sitting at one end of the long table stood up and said.

"Craftsman Sam, I am the head of the Arian tower.

Because, the kingdom of Orion no longer exists, there is a need to restructure the entire network and we are here to discuss matters regarding that. Because, you are an artist with the same rank as us and also a neutral party, I hope you will give your opinion on this matter without bias."

When Sam heard this, he was shocked. He did not think that he could have much of a say in the matter of the Artisan tower.

He thought for a moment and said.

"I will not interfere in the opinion of a higher level member of the imperial capital's tower. As for the former ducal tower chief of Orion, I have some impression of the way they work.

If you show me the details of the person who is the current head of the tower of the dukedoms and their counter parts who are competing for that seat, then, I can give my opinion on this matter as a third party.

Moreover, I think it is inappropriate for me to be the deciding factor as a person not involved in the work of the Artisan association."

The Artisans thought through these words deeply and felt that it made more sense. They cannot simply let outsiders decide their position, but considering the opinions of outsiders while considering their position is certainly a more acceptable alternative.

And soon the film began. Beyond his expectations, it turned out that there were even more qualified craftsmen who became the heads of the various levels of towers in Arian that he had imagined.

On the contrary, Orion was severely lacking many of these craftsmen.

The movie will likely last a long time. The data is like a bunch of resumes, with trades, characters, personal information, their specialties, there is even a lot of information about the amount of income they bring to the tower.

He suddenly stumbled upon this now and he had to deal with this long encounter that lasted for somehow long.

But he had to do it, because he had only thought of something after seeing the number of craftsmen that would be removed from some real authority in the association. They could still be inside the tower, but their titles were stripped away and now only a few normal elders or so in the tower, if he could use them, were he to be, his plan to obtain wealth would be a great success and could also save him many humans.

Please apologize profusely for the delay due to the busyness that cannot be left behind.
