"Lord Rayshui... Why did you go to such lengths for us?" Baluo's eyes were full of shock, and his tone was filled with emotion. He considered himself well-read, but he had never heard of a lord going to such lengths for the local people.

"Responsibility and dreams. Since I became the lord of East Tower City, it is my duty to improve your living standards." Rayshui said calmly.

In reality, Rayshui was under a great deal of pressure. He was only seventeen years old and had to be responsible for the entire East Tower City. The pressure made him feel suffocated. After all, this was not a game or a dream. If his decisions went wrong, it would be a disaster.

But despite the pressure, he was more excited because this was something he had never done before but always wanted to do.

To be honest, he was already tired of the days spent studying language, math, and English at school. He wanted to do something different. Of course, with the cheat codes, he could easily live a comfortable life as a businessman or use his knowledge from his previous life. He could have a happy life, a beautiful woman in his embrace, and sleep peacefully. That would be much easier than being a lord.

But Rayshui knew in his heart that he had to accomplish something significant in this world. His inner desires urged him to do so.

In his teenage years, he should have grand dreams. What if they came true?

"You are the most special noble I have ever seen..." Baluo bowed respectfully to Rayshui.

He had been to many cities, but he had never seen a noble like Lord Rayshui. At most, he had seen some nobles distribute thin porridge to the common people.

"Well, go and take care of the tasks I just assigned to you." Rayshui said.

"Yes! Lord Rayshui! I will take my leave now." Baluo nodded repeatedly and then left.

Baluo was already fifty years old, and his heart had cooled down long ago. But today, with the words of Lord Rayshui, his fighting spirit reignited.

Universal literacy!

Even the Imperial Capital couldn't achieve it.

If East Tower City could, it would surpass the Imperial Capital.

Perhaps his name could be remembered in history!

"Kaen, I need you to go on a mission." Rayshui said.

Since Alice couldn't go, Rayshui had to send Kaen.

The defense force of East Tower City was still vital.

"A mission...? A mission?" Kaen blinked his eyes forcefully and said dryly.

Indeed, Lord Rayshui was a cultured person. He couldn't understand his words at all.

In order to better understand Lord Rayshui's meaning, he had to learn to read at Baluo's school. He would go tonight!

"There is a task that requires you to travel to a distant place." Rayshui covered his face and changed his wording.

Indeed, there was some generation gap between him and the people of this world.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh." Kaen's expression showed enlightenment.

"Go to the Imperial Capital, to Count Ross's mansion, and offer him a bottle of fine wine. Ask him to help me train the troops." Rayshui summarized the matter simply.

"Lord Rayshui... He is a count..." Kaen's dry lips became nervous and he said stiffly.

Lord Rayshui actually requested a count to help with training the troops!

"Are you afraid?" Rayshui looked at Kaen's nervous appearance and asked.

"How could I be!" Kaen widened his eyes.

When had Kaen ever been afraid?

He was alone and had no family!

"That's good. You will leave with Mafai in a few days and reach the Imperial City by water. When you enter my baron's mansion, you just have to display your grandeur." Rayshui joked lightly.

"Yes!"

Normally, when people heard Rayshui's jokes, they would probably show an awkward expression. But Kaen, the straightforward guy, didn't. Instead, he responded seriously.

"Of course, bravery alone is not enough. The things I'll tell you next, make sure to remember them, okay?" Rayshui said earnestly.Many things cannot be accomplished solely with bravery; being only brave would make one a reckless fool. It is best to combine bravery with some clever strategies when necessary.

Rayshui did not expect Khan, who was not known for quick thinking, to rely on his on-the-spot reactions. It would be better to prepare some strategies in advance.

Should Rayshui give him three secret plans to open in case he encounters an unsolvable problem?

Hmm... that sounds good, but wait! Khan seems to be illiterate!

Forget it, let's just explain it verbally.

"Yes! Lord Rayshui!"
