Chapter 1592: Peace of Mind

Blaze was tasked with standing guard to ensure the safety of the alliance banquet at the highest point.

As a civilian in the Giant Kingdom, Blaze had an obligation to ensure the smooth progress of the kingdom's most important day, so he accepted the task without hesitation.

In previous years, such special events that gathered a large number of royal families would always result in some incidents to a greater or lesser extent.

For example, some villains who are extremely fascinated by [royal blood] and extremely persistently believe that royal blood has special powers will wait for an opportunity to abduct royal family members for evil research.

If it were a few hundred years ago, there might have been some scientific basis for it, but now it is complete nonsense.

Take the royal family of the Giant Kingdom for example. Although they are the royal family of the Giens, there is actually nothing special about them. They look taller and bigger but that is because they are born to shoulder important responsibilities and have received more rigorous education and training since childhood.

Even among the Arcadian people, the only difference is the degree of awakening of the Silver Blood. As the queen, Audrey has the highest degree of awakening.

Equality for all is the trend of the times, and those villains have lagged behind for too long.

In addition, there are some problems that cannot be solved with fists, that is, the friction between the royal families of the allied countries. Even within the same alliance, there are many frictions.

Fortunately, there is the [Hermes' Traveling Hat]. Twenty years, no, it should be twenty-one years ago that the [Hermes' Traveling Hat] emerged. Although it monopolized most of the kingdom's economy like the Invisible Kingdom, it also eased the economic friction between kingdoms.

As economic frictions ease, relations will naturally ease as well.

However, there have been some troubles recently. There is no way. When the transmission tower network of [Hermes's Traveling Hat] collapsed, many big capitalists took advantage of the situation and swooped in, encroaching on and replacing part of the [Hermes's Traveling Hat] market.

The big capitalists did not realize that they would also have to deal with friction between the allies, so they were quite busy and confused.

Just from what Blaze saw from the clock tower, there were four or five representatives of the Allied Powers clashing on the street, and the senior partner of [Hermes's Traveling Hat] appeared as if he happened to pass by and handled the conflict smoothly.

This is what Hermes's Travel Hat does when its market is being cannibalized and replaced. Instead of trying to take it back head-on, it's better to wait until the other party hasn't done well and misses its own market before it appears on the scene.

However, not all big capitalists have problems. Some big capitalists and lords, represented by the Maglen Consortium and Aarhus Territory, have handled the interest issues between the allies well.

This half day was not easy for Blazer. There were some disputes that he could not intervene in. Instead, he had to pay attention to whether anyone was taking advantage of the disputes to do something.

But Blaze doesn't care about these. This is his duty and he cares about other things.

"Instead of thanking me for keeping watch, you should praise the fish I caught. Didn't you see it? It was huge and amazing."

Blaze showed off to Marika excitedly. He took out the illustrated book of gourmet monsters and turned to the column of marine gourmet monsters.

"That's it! Did you see it?"

"Oh, I saw it." Marika bent down, moved closer to Blaze, and her eyes fell on the illustrated book that Blaze was pointing at.

"That one is very eye-catching. A royal chef was shocked and said that it is impossible to make food normally. It is a special thing that only food monsters can do."

The regional boss that Blazer fished out from the salty inland sea - [Salty Pudding Jellyfish Queen LV200]. It was an extremely huge translucent jellyfish, like a giant milk jelly, with tentacles like chewy pearl milk tea, and it would sprinkle colorful sweets such as icing sugar while floating.

Unfortunately, this is a dark gourmet monster from the salty inland sea, so the extremely sweet-looking jelly body is basically a huge salt ore in the shape of jelly. The [pearls] in the bubble tea tentacles, the sprinkled [icing sugar], etc. are also salt ore.

"It's hard to catch this guy. The broken tentacles will turn into small pudding jellyfish. In order not to destroy its [Super Pudding] shape, I was also restricted in fighting it. I had to use [Feast of the Goddess of Death] to subdue it."

Marika listened to Blaze's proud introduction of the process of fishing and catching the Queen Pudding Jellyfish, and she nodded in agreement from time to time.

Of course, Blaze didn't just talk about catching the Queen Pudding Jellyfish. His mission was to clear out the dark gourmet monsters in that area, and he fished out all the dark gourmet monsters in the inland sea.

As for Blaze's peculiar [fishing method], Marika told Blaze that the holes he left on each of the marine gourmet monsters were regarded by the royal chef as special marks left by the mysterious angler.

But this is not a good thing. The royal chef thinks that Blaze is a very arrogant person to leave such a conspicuous mark.

"You should aim at the gills of the fish, so that the mark left by the hook will not be so obvious." Marika gave serious advice and pulled out Surtur from behind to use as a fishing rod to demonstrate.

Blaze took Gungnir and learned from him in a very serious manner. Marika had the delicate control of strength that was unique to the people of Giens. In this regard, even Blaze could not match Marika for a while.

This is the power control training that the Giens people have been consciously conducting since childhood in order to get along with other ethnic groups and not harm other ethnic groups.

That was a very difficult period, like trying to curl up a huge body into a small box, it was the "growing pains" unique to the people of Giens.

But that also makes sense. Which Giens person would be willing to crush the palm of his childhood sweetheart? So when the Giens people feel their bodies starting to grow, they will try their best to control it.

Marika, who is a half-Dwarf and half-Giains, has been trying to control her power since she was very young, and she has worked much harder than other Giains.

Who made her childhood sweetheart so disappointing?

Blaze stretched out his left hand to Marika beside him. Marika was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and stretched out her right hand to hold Blaze's left hand.

Marika's fingers were long, but her hands were smaller than Blaze's, so the two hands were wrapped around each other.

"Hold it tight?" Blaze smiled and tilted his head.

"Hold tight."

"Really? My hands feel so loose, like they're going to fall out at any moment."

Marika said nothing, but she held on tightly, as if she was worried that Blaze would run away.

This was a force that made her feel reassured, enough to deform steel and shatter stone, and the fact that Blaze could now withstand this force made Marika feel reassured.
