Renner's Advance Arrangements, Zesshi Zetsumei's Thoughts

The conversation in the conference room continued until evening before it ended. With a soft click, the door was opened again.

Climb stood even straighter, turned slightly, and looked at the beautiful figure who first came into view, wearing a yellow gemstone pendant on her forehead.

She bowed respectfully. "Your Highness."

"Thank you for your hard work, Climb."

"I didn't expect our conversation to last so long, making you wait outside until now," Princess Renner said gently, her tone tinged with a hint of regret.

"It's what I should do!"

Climb was deeply moved, and raised his voice slightly as he responded earnestly.

He didn't find it a difficult task. Being able to protect the princess and stand by her side was the greatest honor he could have. Lainas, dressed in a loose-fitting outfit with her golden ponytail hanging down her back, looked calmly at Princess Renner, who was teasing Climb again.

Teasing?

That's right!

It's like those despicable, decadent aristocratic sons who display a feigned friendliness towards the lower classes.

That description isn't quite right either—it's not so much a pretense as a genuine expression, but more like a peculiar kind of "liking."

Beside Lainas stood an elderly man with slightly graying hair, wearing a magic robe, and with a serious demeanor.

This person is none other than Uldrin, the guild master of the Magic Caster's Guild headquarters in the Royal Capital!

The elderly man, who appeared serious, had noticeably smoothed out the wrinkles around his eyes, perhaps intentionally concealing them, but he seemed to be in a good mood.

As the president!

Uldrin personally escorted Princess Renner and the others to the gates of the Magic Guild.

The luxurious carriages rolled along the main street of the Royal Capital.

Inside the carriage, Climb sat upright, inhaling the two different fragrances in the air, his heart pounding.

"Your Highness, Guild Master Uldrin's attitude is unclear," Lainas said calmly, her arms crossed.

Princess Renner's sudden visit to the president of the Magic Caster's Guild was to add a squad of Magic Caster to the army that Lainas had formed. Lainas did not oppose this decision. As a former citizen of the Baharuth Empire, she understood the value of Magic Caster better than most people in the Kingdom.

The Kingdom reveres chivalry and pays no attention to Magic Caster. Some ignorant minor nobles even regard magic as a vulgar trick.

This insight made Lainas laugh, and at the same time she completely agreed with her master's assessment of the "Kingdom of Ri Yestize"—it was a country on the verge of decay!

only.

Ordinary Magic Caster cannot provide much assistance to the army, while powerful Magic Caster probably wouldn't choose to join the army either.

That's why I came to the Adventurers 'Magic Caster's Guild.

However, Lainas didn't think this would be accomplished easily.

While the Magic Caster's Guild doesn't have some of the rules of the Adventurer's Guild, it also doesn't intervene in wars between nations.

He'll be willing.

Princess Nana responded with elegance and gentleness, placing her delicate hands on her knees. Meeting Lainas's questioning gaze, a smile flickered in her blue eyes.

"The creation of magical items is generally handled by the Magic Caster's Guild, but they have an even more important responsibility."

"Responsibilities?"

"Yes, it's about training Magic Caster."

Princess Renner's gentle smile remained unchanged, "The nation looks down on magic because of tradition, so the Magic Caster's Guild receives no funding or assistance from the nation."

Lainas's eyes flickered; she seemed to understand Princess Renner's purpose.

"It seems you've already thought of that, Lainas."

Princess Renner's smile deepened. "If your Warrior Band can achieve victory on the battlefield against the Empire two months from now, it will demonstrate the value of Magic Caster."

"That will be a huge publicity boost for the neglected Magic Caster's Guild; it's a deal they can't resist."

"Just—" Lainas briefly, her eyebrows furrowing.

"You're worried about your father and those nobles, aren't you?"

Princess Renner gently shook her head. "You are originally from the Baharuth Empire, a place that values Magic Caster."

"If anyone else in the Kingdom had done this, they would have faced criticism, but you won't."

Is that so?

Lainas tapped her fingers lightly, feeling a slight headache; that wasn't actually what she cared about.

The real question is why Princess Renner is so certain that she will win the battle against the Empire in a few months.

She and Gazef each formed their own legions, their purpose obvious; she didn't believe the Blood Emperor of the Baharuth Empire was completely unaware.

This confrontation between the two countries will certainly be different from the past. Even Lainas herself is not entirely confident, yet she cannot say it out loud.

Princess Renner's beautiful eyes curved slightly like crescent moons, and she smiled radiantly, knowing Lainas's concerns.

But they didn't really care.

Because the outcome was already decided, that man wouldn't let Lainas lose.

Judging from the worried look on Lainas's face, she didn't seem to have a clear understanding of that man's strength.

Able to guide Abelion Hills Incident!

Under the combined influence of the Slane Theocracy, the Holy Kingdom, and the [Zurrernorn], they were able to escape unscathed and even scheme for some benefit.

Princess Renner vaguely speculated that his strength was no weaker than that of the guardian deity of the Baharuth Empire.

In fact.

The real purpose of contacting the Magic Caster's Guild is not these trivial matters; these are merely incidental.

In previous exchanges.

Princess Renner noticed that the man seemed somewhat interested in the Magic Caster's Guild and planned to wait until the conflict with the Baharuth Kingdom ended before making contact with him.

Now that we know what that man is thinking...

Princess Renner naturally wanted to make arrangements in advance to prove her worth, and a smile flashed in her beautiful, crescent-shaped eyes as she thought of this.

Your Highness.

Seeing that the princess and Lady Lainas had finished their conversation, Climb hesitated for a moment before respectfully speaking.

A sound that suddenly rang out.

Princess Renner and Lainas both looked over at the same time, but Lainas remained expressionless.

"Climb, is something the matter?"

Princess Renner, her face full of tenderness, blinked her innocent and pure eyes and asked in a gentle, questioning tone.

"I want to... I want to join the legion formed by Lady Lainas and participate in the upcoming war against the Empire."

Climb mustered his courage and spoke loudly.

He didn't know why he suddenly had this idea, but he felt that it might be able to help the princess.

Upon hearing this,

Lainas glanced at Climb with a strange look, while her eyes darted to Princess Renner beside her.

Could you explain why?

A soft voice sounded.

"It's like this---" Climb raised his head, wanting to explain to Princess Renner, but the next moment his voice caught in his throat, and he instantly became flustered and at a loss, his face full of panic.

And there it was!

Princess Renner's face was full of sadness, and glistening tears welled up in her blue eyes, making her look as if she might cry at any moment.

"Princess, princess, that--·"

Climb suddenly became more flustered than ever before, abruptly standing up and nearly hitting the roof of the carriage, completely in a state of panic.

Didn't you promise me you'd protect me forever?

Princess Renner sobbed softly, a tear sliding down her fair and delicate cheek from the corner of her eye.

"Yes!"

Climb responded, his voice hoarse and panicked. He felt his heart breaking and quickly knelt down on the ground.

Lainas glanced at the flustered Climb, then at Princess Renner was sobbing softly, her shoulders shrank back, and her eyes twitched slightly.

Slane Theocracy.

Theocracy Capital.

The "Four Elements" walked silently out of the church, holding their Magic Staff, a hint of weariness in their eyes.

He was the representative of the Theocracy to conduct the first transaction with Tang, the captain of the "Free Will" adventurer team.

He was the one who went to Abelion Hills to conduct the transaction of "Assimilation Potion".

This was a memorable yet unpleasant trip!

The Abelion Hills were once the territory of the Demi-Human, and even a powerful figure like him had to be careful when entering such a place.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad.

Such a crucial transaction, concerning the very survival of humankind, was never attended by that Mr. Tang.

What's even more infuriating and worrying!

The entire transaction was carried out by that Demi-Human named "Cuiye," which was truly unsettling.

"Yo."

An impatient, yawning greeting rang out from ahead.

The "Four Elements" raised their heads, looking in the direction of the voice, their eyes narrowing almost imperceptibly. "Clementine?"

"Your report took a long time; we've been waiting for you for ages."

Clementine greeted him with a grin, then, with a slight effort, rose from the corner of the wall she had been leaning against. The child walked briskly ahead, waving.

"That person wants to see you."

The "Four Elements" suddenly changed their expressions, their eyes flashing with a dark and uncertain light, before they lifted their feet and followed in silence.

We walked through the long corridor and arrived deep inside the Theocracy Capital.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

A blur of speed moved swiftly across the training ground in the distance. The cross-shaped scythe swung, its black blade flashing through the air like a shadow, emitting a sharp, piercing sound!

The two, "The Four Elements" Clementine, stood at the outermost edge of the training field, their breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

It was just simple training.

The oppressive aura emanating from that figure caused a fine layer of cold sweat to break out on the foreheads of the two "Hero" without them even realizing it.

That's terrifying!

The stronger one is, the more one can sense the terrifying power contained within that figure who casually wields a weapon and moves swiftly.

Faced with such a powerful opponent, he would probably be defeated in a single encounter!

Clementine composed herself, her mind involuntarily comparing him to the man, but she couldn't come to a conclusion.

Compared to the two of them.

The difference in their strength is too great, like an ant trying to comprehend the power of an elephant no matter how hard it tries.

The "Four Elements" turned somewhat pale; he was puzzled as to why this person had suddenly summoned him.

A deep-seated fear.

The "Four Elements" were lost in thought when suddenly, the commotion in the training ground stopped, and he couldn't help but subconsciously lower his head.

Like an ostrich burying its head in the sand to avoid being spotted by a fearsome beast, the exposed half of its body actually becomes more conspicuous and ridiculous.

Zesshi Zetsumei lightly touched the ground with both feet, and his agile figure leaped into the air like a spring, landing in front of Clementine and the other two.

"You've arrived."

Zesshi Zetsumei casually raised his cross-shaped scythe and slung it over his shoulder. "Want to stretch a bit?"

We just finished a training session.

She wasn't sweating at all, and she couldn't even feel her breathing. The level of training she was in was so the Unassailable even warm up.

Let's have some fun?

Clementine and the "Four Elements" tensed up suddenly, their eyes revealing fear and tension.

Joke!

If they respond, all they'll get is a good beating. Even if they have Healing Magic to heal their injuries, the pain of the process is unforgettable.

"Never mind."

Seeing the two's performance, Zesshi Zetsumei remained indifferent and uninterested, but tightened his grip on the cross-shaped scythe.

It's painful to have no truly strong opponents.

Perhaps that guy deserves to go all out. Father. What a ridiculous title.

"Is this the start of a sentimental phase?" Zesshi Zetsumei didn't mind the two people in front of her, and heard herself talking to herself.

Clementine and the "Four Elements" remained expressionless, their heads bowed obediently.

"By the way, why did they send you there?" Zesshi Zetsumei suddenly asked.

The "Four Elements" naturally understood that this was a question directed at him. Although they were puzzled as to why Zesshi Zetsumei would care about this matter, they still answered truthfully.

"I think I know some inside information."

The "Four Elements" spoke respectfully, "Furthermore, the ' Assimilation Potion ' is extremely valuable. Just in case, it's safer for our [Black Scripture] members to handle it."

"Among the entire Sunlight Scripture team, only I and ' Infinite Magic ' possess Teleportation magic, and you are also familiar with ' Infinite Magic's' character."

The speaker paused here.

The "Four Elements" breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed this wasn't something that worried him.

This time, I deliberately left coordinates on my trip to Abelion Hills so that I could use the "Teleportation" Assimilation Potion to move around and ensure safety in the future.

"Tell me what you saw?" Zesshi Zetsumei asked lazily, as if he were just asking out of boredom.

He dared not answer casually about the "Four Elements," even though the Cardinal had forbidden him from revealing any related matters.

However, Zesshi Zetsumei held a very special position in the entire Theocracy, and moreover, he didn't want to be beaten up for no reason, so he honestly responded to the whole process.

Zesshi Zetsumei nods, then waves his hand and says, "I understand. Let me know next time you go to the Abelion Hills."

"Yes!"

"The Four Elements | A little different," she nodded Zesshi Zetsumei in response. She turned and returned to the training ground, letting out a soft snort as she recalled Tang Zheng slipping away from her last time.
