Blessed by Abundance, Become a Scourge of Terra

"Don't be too nervous for your first time at the Royal Court meeting, everyone is quite easy to talk to."

"Warfarin, are you sure your Lord of the Royal Court is easy to talk to? I'm not so sure."

Dukare's combat record was legendary even in Sarkaz history, and it was clear from the story that he wasn't someone easy to deal with.

"Probably... Anyway, talk less and do less. It's best if you just go and come back." Warfarin straightened the collar of her man's clothes, instructing him with great care.

Although she still didn't know the secret contained within Huang Cao, she believed in her choice.

To change the entire Sarkaz for the better, in her eyes, Huang Cao was more capable of achieving it than Theresia.

"Don't worry, I'll go. If there's nothing for me to do, I'll just eat the fruit on the table. She probably just wants me there to make up the numbers."

Huang Cao's current identity meant he hadn't met Theresia yet. It wouldn't hurt to go and get acquainted this time.

His own strength might be a bit lacking against elite units, but they definitely wouldn't be able to do anything to him.

Even if he encountered danger, he could simply remove his physical limitations and go all out against them.

In short, the advantage is mine!

Anyway, if there's nothing to do there, I'll just gorge on the fruit platter, unless the Royal Court meeting doesn't even have a fruit platter...

"I know you're very capable, but you still need to be careful. I've lived for so long, and it was hard to find you..."

Warfarin didn't know how she felt now. She had a feeling this scene was very similar to the Feast at Hong Gate from Yan Country's stories.

Huang Cao comforted Warfarin and patted her head.

"If anything really happens, what you'll hear won't be news of me being held back."

"Then what will it be?"

"Heaven is dead, Yellow Heaven shall stand!"

"So why does Theresia want to pick me up in a Rhino Beast?"

After bidding farewell to Warfarin and Kaitian Cat, Huang Cao walked to the entrance of his territory.

Then he discovered a Rhino Beast carriage waiting for him.

Compared to the Rhino Beasts of Siergrag in the story, the Kazdel breed was more imposing and fierce.

"This is probably to show how much they value you. It's been a while, young Mr. Huang Cao."

At this moment, a gentle and sexy voice came from behind the carriage's curtain. Lamian gracefully emerged from the carriage, holding her black long dress with both hands.

There were also two Banshees driving the carriage.

"Sister Lamian, it's been a while."

Huang Cao looked at the stunning woman before him, and for a moment, he felt a sense of displacement.

Since leaving Banshee River Valley, Huang Cao and Lamian had only corresponded through letters and hadn't seen each other since.

"You've grown quite a bit taller since then." Lamian also felt a sense of emotion.

Ten years ago, when the boy accidentally stumbled into Banshee River Valley due to the snowstorm, he hadn't even reached her shoulder. Now, he was half a head taller than her.

Seeing that the young man hadn't suffered, Lamian's worried heart finally relaxed.

Actually, this carriage was sent by Theresia to pick him up. After all, they were good friends, and the proper courtesies were still in place.

Although the grain Theresia borrowed more than ten years ago still hadn't been returned.

Huang Cao's territory wasn't close to Banshee River Valley. If she took a detour, she could have visited him along the way.

Before heading to the Royal Court meeting, Lamian wondered if she could take a detour to see him.

As it turned out, just as she arrived near Huang Cao's territory and was about to announce her presence, he rushed out from within.

"There's a magic array at your territory's entrance. It seems Mr. Huang's Originium Arts are not simple either."

"Would you like to come in and take a look? Perhaps my territory is even more scenic than Banshee River Valley?"

Huang Cao said with a smile. The other party was clearly a little curious, but that feeling was quickly concealed.

"It's getting late. If we linger here any longer, we might not make it to the meeting on time."

"I've brought some food in the carriage. The journey to the Royal Court is long, it will take about two days."

Two days? So this Rhino Beast was that slow?

If he ran at full speed, it wouldn't even take two hours.

Huang Cao had originally wanted to arrive at Kazdel's capital early to see if he could poach some talent from Theresia.

However, since Lamian had already personally invited him and even made a detour specifically to see him.

Refusing her would be a waste of her kindness.

"Let's go. It's a good opportunity to ask my sisters from Banshee River Valley how they've been all these years."

"Also, I'd like to ask what I need to pay attention to for this kind of meeting. I've never attended one before."

Lamian and Huang Cao chatted and laughed all the way, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

It was just that for some reason, Lamian always felt a distance between herself and the young man in front of her.

He wouldn't even sit any closer.

Could it be that my appearance has aged so much in ten years? But I'm still young...

Lamian fell into deep suspicion, and her gaze towards him held a hint of resentment.

Knowing he might have been misunderstood, Huang Cao immediately explained.

Huang Cao didn't know what else to do. Besides, they were already quite close; any closer and their thighs would be touching, their shoulders bumping.

He couldn't control people who actively came onto him. After all, people's thoughts were strange and varied, and who knew what they were thinking.

But if one couldn't help but flirt around outside, everyone knew what happened to "Brother Cheng."

If he attracted too much romantic attention then, with his current recovery abilities, he wouldn't just be cut into five pieces when it was time to split up.

Hearing this, Lamian let out an aunt-like smile and gossipily inquired about the girl.

"Did she steal one of the young girls from my valley?"

After all, when Huang Cao first arrived in the valley, he was humble and polite, had a good appearance, and possessed excellent skills.

He was truly the most popular person in the valley. Of course, everyone knew Lamian was joking at this time.

After all, if someone was missing from the valley, how could she not know?

"Although the older sisters in the valley are all beautiful, I still like my Warfarin."

"Warfarin? That girl's name is quite nice. Where does she live? What race is she? If she's from Leithanian, then you must protect her well."

Lamian suggested happily, but with a hint of worry.

She wasn't a rigid woman; her suggestion was just out of goodwill. After all, among the coalition forces, only Leithanian was currently harassing Kazdel.

Huang Cao signaled her not to worry, "Warfarin is also Sarkaz, of the Blood Demon race."

Blood Demon...

It was acceptable, Lamian nodded.

Although the Blood Demon race had a poor reputation even among the Sarkaz themselves, this reputation wasn't due to their lifestyle but their combat prowess.

Based on Huang Cao's description, the girl's personality seemed alright. She wasn't a battle maniac and likely knew how to manage a household.

At least compared to other races, Blood Demons were truly the best choice for marriage.

Undead Spirits had no bodies at all, making communication difficult, let alone romance.

With the Shapeshifter Collective, dating one was equivalent to dating countless others; it was impossible to reach a consensus, and satisfying them after marriage would require satisfying countless individuals.

Corpse Eaters, it was said that the women of this race were difficult to pursue, comparable to Banshees.

There will be another update this afternoon. Please vote, thank you everyone!

Chapter 47: A Meeting Without a Fruit Platter is Incomplete!

The Rhino Beast pulled the vehicle, traveling intermittently for a day. After entering the city and traveling a bit further, the two companions finally arrived at the central area of Sarkaz.

Returning to the capital of Kazdel, Lamian was somewhat shocked.

"Why is this place still the same as it was ten years ago?"

Huang Cao didn't react much. After all, people died at any moment in this land, and the memories of the deceased returned to Originium, which he could then share.

Therefore, he was almost completely aware of the outside world, especially the development of Kazdel.

"The Royal Court Conference... Sister Lamian, I have a premonition that our trip this time will likely be a waste of time."

"So it's not just me who feels this way. How can national affairs be resolved by a single meeting? Moreover, I don't think Theresia can come up with a complete plan overnight," Lamian said.

However, as a member of Kazdel, Lamian knew that the Demon King's orders were absolute, and no one could resist them.

Unless there was a true divergence in ideology, but at that point, the Demon King would essentially be a figurehead.

"Huang Cao, what do you think is the way forward for Kazdel? The developing scenes along the way make me feel very sad."

Lamian looked at the ruins outside the vehicle's window.

After the war, when Theresia was awarding merits, she also convened a Royal Court Assembly.

It was at that assembly that the current Six Heroes were established, and she had seen these ruins then.

Ten years had passed, and the ruins were still there, only the scavengers were gone.

The war outside had ended, but the revival within had not yet begun.

Lamian knew how difficult Theresia's situation was. After all, if she were the Demon King, the country likely wouldn't fare any better.

It was like wanting the country to improve but lacking the ability to do so.

Having the will to serve the country but lacking the power to do so, how tragic was that?

Therefore, as long as Theresia didn't treat her people as tools in the upcoming Royal Court Conference and the policies weren't too outrageous, she was willing to support it.

Full cooperation was already doing all she could for the country.

"So, Huang Cao, what are your thoughts on Kazdel?"

"I don't have any particular opinions, but I firmly believe that the ability to change things is never solely the king's achievement. Similarly, the destruction of a nation isn't entirely due to one factor... after all, the surrounding environment is also a crucial element in a nation's operation."

If Theresia had possessed her own abilities, Kazdel's current situation could at least be described as well-fed and clothed, if not prosperous.

Huang Cao could indeed single-handedly reverse the hunger crisis in all of Kazdel.

But what good would that do? The Sarkaz race might not even listen to his commands; they'd likely just see him as a fool.

Moreover, the land of Terra is not like ancient times in his previous world. The people here generally have strong spiritual pursuits, which might be related to the Pre-Civilization.

In short, people are complex regardless of the world they inhabit; one cannot view humans as one would animals.

Currently, the only people who are absolutely loyal to him are probably the residents of his own territory.

Especially the new generation in Eden, who have had almost no contact with the Demon King since childhood.

Every day, they hear about their Lord's great achievements, and even the gifts they receive during festivals are personally distributed by their Lord.

The older generation might still have some reverence for the Demon King, but the new generation of Sarkaz only knows that a Demon King exists, without truly understanding what the Demon King has done.

Furthermore, almost everyone knows that the prosperity of the land they inhabit is entirely due to Huang Cao's efforts.

Huang Cao has always only restricted others from learning about his own affairs, never limiting his own territory's channels for understanding the outside world.

So, it's clear who has done a better job.

As they spoke, the imposing yet slightly dilapidated Demon King's Palace came into view.

Within this ancient and magnificent palace, countless Demon Kings had been crowned, and countless Demon Kings had died.

Theresia, will you be the next?

Huang Cao was very curious about what impact his arrival would have on this world.

Teresis, will you become my greatest enemy?
