Amyrius

Kronos didn't speak, but simply nodded silently.

In this situation, either Amyrius is plotting something with him, or he simply has no interest in winning over the Argel Family.

"I have no interest in trying to win over your family." As expected, Amyrius stated this directly.

Amyrius continued, "If it weren't for my Earl Levett Levitt, repeatedly insisting that I come to win you over, I wouldn't even be attending this Banquet."

"Too many people think I'm trying to seize power from George, or that they're using this as an excuse to fight for power in my name, but I have little interest in any of that. The only reason I'm still in this position is because the family needs me to, and I want the family to be better."

Kronos knew this, not only in the original work, but even in the rumors about Amyrius, it was said that he valued his family extremely.

Amyrius turned to look at Kronos, then continued, "You might wonder why I value my family so much, and why winning you over would be of great benefit to my family, yet I haven't done so."

He didn't give Kronos a chance to respond, but continued, "Among all the nobles, there is no one who knows more about the Argel Family than I do, not even Negan."

These words truly shocked Kronos; for a Imperative Mage to utter such a statement carries a high degree of credibility.

"From a young age, I have never been interested in my family's titles. Power and status are not as important to me as military merit and personal strength. More than 70 percent of the nobles who still exist today rose to power in the White Rose War and the War of the Backstabber. They all have military achievements. But there is one family that is truly outstanding in military achievements."

At this point in Amyrius's speech, Kronos's gaze became somewhat strange, for he had guessed who Amyrius was referring to.

"It's your Argel Family. To those who don't understand military affairs, the White Rose War was led by the White Rose Prince, and the Oathbreaker War was the achievement of His Majesty and several princes at the time. But upon closer examination, one will know that if it weren't for Botu Argel Admiral off the Feysac Empire, these two battles would never have succeeded."

"That's why I developed a deep interest in your family. I've done some detailed research and concluded that your family prioritizes individual strength above all else. Unfortunately, the Royal Family family won't allow you to do that. So, no matter what, your family will not re-enter politics or the military."

"Actually, I've also been influenced by your family's way of doing things. I value individual strength more. I know that I'm able to hold this position because I'm Demigod, but I've reached my limit. The Royal Family won't allow an outsider to become Sequence 3."

"Whether it's you or me, we gained power because of the Royal Family Royal Family, and we were also bound by it for life." At this moment, Kronos saw desolation in Amyrius's eyes.

Kronos finally couldn't hold back and said Your Excellency, "It's different, Admiral. Our family is based on the extraordinary, so naturally we prioritize strength. But you don't have to be like that."

Amyrius was a decent person, and Kronos had a good impression of him, which is why he offered that piece of advice.

"The Argel Family could have easily entered politics and the military and regained control of the narrative if they had remained at Sequence 5 for their entire lives. But why hasn't anyone chosen that path all these years? And why did you set sail alone?"

A slight smile appeared on Amyrius's serious face, "In this world, after witnessing power, would you still care about that little bit of authority?"

That's true. Would a Demigod care about a title? Would an Angel care about the amount of power they can wield?

Seeing that Kronos remained silent, Amyrius continued, "Kid, keep it up. I also hope that the family I once admired can rise again, and it would be even better if it could rise before my eyes."

"I won't try to get you into any political party, but you can contact me if you need anything."

After saying this, Amyrius left like a gust of wind.

Only as he left did Kronos Consciousness that the hall had been completely silent during their conversation, but now it was noisy again.

"Did he invoke Decree just to speak to me without attracting attention?" Kronos murmured.

If Amyrius were someone who valued military power more, he would be extremely satisfied with his current situation. Unfortunately, he values personal strength more, which has effectively blocked his path to advancement.

He must have never given up searching for the Sequence 3 Potion Formula, but where are Potion Formula Demigod and above so easy to find? The Argel Family searched for over 1,300 years and still couldn't find the complete recipe for the Sequence 4 "Mysticologist" of the Mystery Pryer Pathway.

Of course, this is largely because the Argel Family didn't know who had the formula and dared not approach the Moses Ascetic Order. Those who knew the formula were mostly Demigod, and unless a satisfactory reward was offered on a one-on-one basis, it would be very difficult to find it, like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Kronos wasn't worried. Once he reached Sequence 5, he could Admiral of Stars go find Cattleya. Kronos had a lot of Message that Bernadette was interested in; he was sure he could get it.

However, things are much more difficult for Amyrius. The Sequence 3 Potion Formula for the Justiciar Pathway is most likely in the hands of the Augustus Family and the Castiya Family. One is the Loen Royal Family, which does not want him to advance, and the other is the hostile Feynapotter Royal Family.

Of course, there might be others who saw the Second Blasphemy Slate, but those people are either dead or have become Angel or higher, so you can't find them.

That's why Kronos saw loneliness in Amyrius's expression.

Once the necessary social interactions were over, Governor George and Admiral Amyrius, bringing the Banquet to a close.

Kronos returned to the Inn in a carriage. On the way, he kept thinking about Amyrius's words, not because they were particularly profound, but mainly because they revealed Amyrius's attitude.

Perhaps Amyrius is unwilling to betray his country for a promotion, or to contact the Feynapotter Royal Family, but if he could obtain the Potion Formula, could Amyrius be made a staunch ally?

It is Amyrius, not the Levett Family, because in Kronos's eyes, he never saw politics, but power. Therefore, Amyrius's importance far exceeds that of the Levett Family.

Of course, Kronos doesn't have the ability to obtain the formula now, but he refuses to believe that once he ascends to Demigod, there won't be a trace of the formula left in the Timeline.

At that time, you will naturally have a Sequence 3 "Chaos Hunter" ally, which will be of great help.

Moreover, it would be best to report today's events to Marquis Argel, so after returning to his room, Kronos wrote another "mini-essay."

It only contains the specifics of today's situation, but doesn't involve Kronos's own plans.

Then he found a Inn waiter and asked him to deliver the "thesis" to the Telegraph, since it was getting late and Kronos didn't want to go out.

The next day, Kronos spent the whole morning in the house, experimenting with the last few materials remaining in his Mystic Pouch, but finally gave up, finding none of them useful.

The creation of Time Magic was incredibly difficult. He couldn't understand the nature of the power, had no idea how to create Symbol, and the materials were hard to find. Kronos was at his wits' end.

Logically speaking, since none of the materials we have are suitable, we should quickly find a place to buy some and then continue the experiment.

But no, Kronos has something to do this afternoon.

At Banquet yesterday, George Negan invited Kronos to his house this afternoon, saying he had something to tell him from Backlund.

Even if there's nothing else going on, you should drop everything and go when the Governor of the Rorsted Archipelago invites you.

So after the meal, Kronos, dressed in formal attire, boarded the carriage to George's Villa.

George Negan owns more than a dozen Manor of varying sizes around Bayam, but this Villa in town is remarkably understated.

If you didn't know better, you might mistake it for the Villa of an ordinary wealthy businessman.

George gave Kronos face and personally came out to greet him and bring Kronos into the house.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two began their conversation to the main topic.

George received orders from Backlund to transfer two spice plantations of considerable value to Kronos, one belonging to Philip personally and the other an additional gift from the Duke Negan.

Although it was a gift, the Marquis Argel insisted on paying for it. The Duke Negan knew that such a small favor would not make the Argel Family indebted to him, so he accepted it without hesitation.

But Philip insisted on refusing, saying it was a gift he was giving to his friend, and if he wanted a return gift, he would wait for Kronos to return it in person.

Since Philip had already said so, the Marquis Argel didn't insist any further, and simply asked the Negan to transfer the plantation to the Kronos family.

So that's how things came about today. Yesterday's Banquet was clearly not the right time to discuss this matter, so Governor George invited Kronos to his Villa today to discuss the transfer of ownership of the plantation.

With these two plantations, the Fleet's supply of goods was secured. Apart from the most precious spices, they could be self-sufficient in other mid- to high-grade spices.

The most precious spices were clearly still in the hands of the Governor in front of Kronos, and Kronos believed that Governor George would not make things difficult for him over such a small matter.
