After completing the transaction, Velin had Raimondo send people to take over those properties.
At the same time, Velin instructed Raimondo to consolidate Governor Fisk's properties in the North City District and West City District, without telling him the specific reason.
Kyle would handle the next steps. Velin only needed to show himself during the final stage.
Not long after returning to Qixing Territory, Velin received news that the Fourth Battalion and Fifth Battalion had been formed. He immediately recalled Cassius, commander of Star Prayer Camp, from the underground world's Stone City and had him focus on training the six thousand soldiers of those two battalions.
In mid-September, the combined use of Multi-Flame Flowers and Glowing Wine produced thirty-five additional Silver Warriors and twelve Silver Knights in Qixing Territory, further strengthening Velin's forces.
October 1st, 9729 of the Radiant Calendar, was another special day.
That night, instead of remaining in his study as usual, Velin went to the griffon nest. He stroked the Mutated Griffon's feathers as he waited for the arrival of Guidance of Fate.
"You're truly strong. Your offspring certainly won't be lacking in the future." Leaning against the Mutated Griffon, Velin spoke happily.
"Siha—"
The Mutated Griffon used its call to convey its delight to Velin.
The other two smaller Mutated Griffons wanted to come closer, but their leader stopped them with a look.
Seeing this, Velin laughed and waved to the other two Mutated Griffons, beckoning them forward.
Seeing her master do this, the Mutated Griffon no longer stopped them. She closed her eyes and enjoyed Velin's caresses.
"What do you think your clan should be called in the future?" Surrounded by three griffons, Velin felt incredibly at ease.
Hearing this, the Mutated Griffon opened her eyes and wrote the words "Snow Wind" on the ground.
