After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1870

Chapter 1870: Sending a Letter from Holt

Holt City

Inside the Royal Palace

"Thank you so much, sir!" Milo bowed to Cauis, who was currently visiting the Prince’s palace. At this time, there was a letter in front of him.

He stared at it for a while before sighing. "Very well. I will send this along with my letter," he said, then his eyes met with Prince Alain, who nodded, as if quite proud of helping his page.

First of all, Cauis had no idea that the ’slave’ he bought on a whim and brought here to curry favor was now so bold as to ask a Prince a favour.

However, as much as he wanted to reprimand him, he didn’t. The Prince didn’t seem offended for some reason, which was impressive in its own way.

Not to mention, when he confirmed that Milo was from the same place as the Alterrans, it kind of made sense.

Those people didn’t quite look at nobility here the same way as they (the locals) did, so he shouldn’t be surprised that the boy—as meek as he was when they met—found a bit of confidence to ask nobles for things.

The meek kid who couldn’t even look at him in the eye. Now he seemed to be quite close with some of the more powerful people, at least in terms of status, in the human realm.

That said, Cauis knew their movements of rescuing and consolidating their people, the Terrans, so there wasn’t anything wrong with doing this for the boy. He sent letters to Alterra’s side every two or three weeks, anyway.

Quite a few letters, too. He had frequent exchanges with his old friend, Orion, his business partners, the Cooke brothers, and even the people from the Intelligence Department.

As long as it wouldn’t put Holt at a disadvantage, Cauis was perfectly willing (and was allowed) to gain contribution points in exchange for information.

Further, because this region was so far away from Alterra, he pretty much had the monopoly on the news here.

Of course, he also gave reports about Alterra’s progress to the King. Only to him, though, as to protect his family’s interests as a trader. This was something both sides tacitly agreed with, though it was mostly based on trust.

Cauis felt very honored to have inexplicably become the bridge. He also gained a bit of contribution points just for establishing relations between the two territories.

Soon enough, Cauis was fairly certain his contribution points would enter the Overall Top 100.

Although it was not publicized, he knew through Orion that there was a record of accumulated contribution points kept in the administration department.

No one knew what that list would be used for, if ever at all, but if they did decide to use it, then it would only mean good things for those listed. His instincts told him so.

And he was right, of course.

By the time Alterra reached City level, the amount of prestige one had in this ranking meant a lot more, not just in Alterra, but all over the world.

This was something for the future, of course.

At this time, he was literally just sending letters for others. He, the heir of the Glen Family, the latest addition to high-noble families in Holt—

Travel from Holt to Alterra by beast cart would take months, and using the teleportation array also required at least level 10, not to mention its use was closely monitored, so no one could use them to sneak around.
