Lind was in excellent spirits after finding a new base and coming into a windfall.
Even the lingering displeasure as his honeymoon drew to a close had been swept away.
With their abundant haul, the three set off for home again, leaving the Magnetic Sea and heading toward Oran Island.
With two and a half years remaining before the battle at God Valley, Lind returned to his kingdom once more.
Before the Wanderer had even docked at Oran Island, Lind spotted Axel and the others waiting to welcome them from afar.
"Hahahaha! Axel, Zhang Liang, long time no see! Thanks for all your hard work while we were away!"
Seeing his familiar subordinates, Lind jumped straight off the Wanderer with the two women, flew over to the harbor, and greeted everyone.
"Haha, just doing our jobs, boss. Did you enjoy yourselves these past six months?"
"Yeah, boss! We were so jealous when we saw the reports the intelligence department sent back to Oran Island."
"And the Mokomo Dukedom and Elbaf! There are so many Mink Tribe and Giant warriors on Oran Island now. Talking to them every day has made me want to visit for ages."
"Boss, when I get married, can I take leave for a honeymoon trip around the world too?"
The moment the three landed at the harbor, the officers closest to Lind crowded around them, chattering away.
Speka's plan to travel around the world left Lind speechless. Sure, you can, but you need to consider the nature of your work.
If you just drop everything and go traveling, who's going to maintain all those Teleportation Gates? Unless you can come back every so often during your trip to maintain them.
Despite his inward grumbling, Lind kept a smile on his face and patiently answered his subordinates.
