Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 763 The First Guest of Armies

Yuri is a sensible and good kid; he would never go to a lady who is so irritable that she just wants to argue with someone to ask her anything important.

Or perhaps, it's only something serious for him.

"Then hurry up and arrange for Carlo to be put on the job! When he comes back from over there, he'll likely be a big shot on par with me," Leon said calmly. "If you want to use him again, you'll have to issue a letter of credentials!"
Every penny saved is a penny earned.

Intermittent laughter drifted from the large study.

Yuri responded with a smile.

The group of people were relaxed, as if the royal succession ceremony to be held a week later did not exist at all.

However, for Leon, who was determined to wear the same dress he wore when Travis ascended the throne and to hold the ceremony on the same scale as back then, it was really not a big deal.

After all, Yuri now holds most of the power in Al-Saran's hands. The royal officials in charge of the ceremony and the finance minister who provides the funding are all Travis's confidants.

Leon was quite open-minded. If even the coronation ceremony of His Majesty Travis, who had coerced his father, intimidated officials and nobles, and hastily ascended to the throne with everything done perfunctorily, was not given to him, then either Travis had done it on purpose, or His Majesty had also lost control of the situation.

So what can this new king, who came to power entirely at Travis's behest, do?

They probably couldn't even be a puppet.

It's better to let people think he's incompetent... that way it'll be easier to escape later.

Leon did want to be king, but not to the point of risking his own people's lives.

Everything they had experienced was simply part of the adventure they were bound to encounter.

His sole purpose had already been achieved before today... to make the families who abandoned them regret it to the point of despair, forced to watch them climb to the top while they themselves could not get a piece of the action.

Then, they torment each other with mutual resentment, and it would be best if they didn't die peacefully in their sleep.

They have actually already done that.

Leaving aside Leon's situation for the time being, the elderly clan elders who nearly drove Yuri to his death back then suddenly all passed away unexpectedly due to overwhelming guilt.

Furthermore, those who forced little Miriam to dig a dog hole to escape also disappeared from public view because of their 'constant fear'.

Then, they exiled their truly resentful children... back then, those vicious guys, it was for these people that they went so far as to kill Yuri and Milian... to the countryside that their families considered to have no future.

So far, Yuri and Milian are fairly satisfied.

After all, those pampered kids who have been spoiled for decades have no chance of breaking free.

As for whether any of their descendants will be able to forge their own path or even seek revenge, who cares?
It's best if you come.

Everyone wants to eradicate something completely, but there are too many reasons why it's impossible.

Even if they were no longer the rulers of the North at that time, no one would care.

Moreover, based on Yuri's assessment of those two families, it's uncertain who the children who manage to escape will ultimately hate... Those who kick someone when they're down are the ones who are the most ruthless.

Leon, and his brothers, are currently in a state of perfect contentment... whatever the future holds, they don't care.

Moreover, once they leave the North, they become the Tiger's Blade once again!
He might change his name to Tiger sometime.
-
No one knew what the future king of the North was thinking, and naturally no one cared.

The only one suffering was the finance minister, who had to handle everything related to the coronation ceremony.

As the highest-ranking official among His Majesty Travis's publicly known officials, the Minister of Finance is extremely busy.

He's always been a workaholic, but lately he's been having thoughts about whether he should resign... Even though the Finance Minister was quite happy at first when he was certain that Leon would continue to use him.

He suddenly realized that before Leon could get his team in order, he would have to personally handle everything related to money... whereas before, he could simply say, "The money is not enough, please redo the budget."

Even in the current capital, everyone feels that he, as His Majesty Travis's spokesperson, is arrogant... but the Minister of Finance himself knows how much pain he is in.
-
Unfortunately, in the eyes of the gods and those all-knowing powerful beings, Almes' journey was far more important.

Especially after he spent a day collecting stones, he watched as new guests began to appear one after another in the dark and desolate starry space.

If it weren't for the fact that he was sure how he got to this place, Armies would have thought he had arrived at the entrance to the labyrinth!
Even Katarina couldn't help but sigh at the relationship between acting skills and thick skin when the old mage, who floated over with a surprised yet cautious and polite expression, greeted her.

However, the old mage's gentle and kind smile, despite having heard Katarina's words, does indeed corroborate Gale Wolf's statement.

"I never expected to encounter any humans here!" the old mage exclaimed with deep emotion. "It must have been a hundred thousand years since Miska was imprisoned here!"

"Didn't Karix say that many people came to dig for treasure?" Katarina promptly questioned.

"How could those people get into such a deep place?" The old mage stroked his white beard solemnly. "It sounds like you were sent in by the saboteurs."

"I never imagined he would ever look at humans differently." Armies didn't speak, but simply gave Pearl a look.

Pearl looked at the memory crystal in her brother's hand and instantly understood: "We were just lucky."

Karix was in a good mood because of Toril's great fun, and he was very friendly to those who had his tokens.

If you want to find Karix, now is the perfect time to go.

He just looked at it again…

“Pearl,” Armmus called out with a smile, “regarding Toril, I reckon every powerful individual with a bit of money has a copy of his memories, so there’s no need to go into such detail.”

He turned to look at the old monk: "Am I right? Master."

The monk did not want to answer this question.

But the reason he had to personally intervene was indeed because of this issue.

As expected, friends associated with Tahime are still troublesome even in their time of need.
He stopped smiling and replied expressionlessly, "Didn't you personally invite me here?"
Hel…

"That person isn't here! Only Armies is!"

The countess, who had been keeping her head down and not daring to speak since the old mage appeared, suddenly let out a roar.

“I am Armes.” Armes chuckled softly. “I can answer some of Hermes’ questions, but only after I have completely separated from him can he guide you.”

"Are you really willing to do that?" the old mage asked calmly. "Armes may only ever be a weak god, but Hermes, no matter where he goes, will start with a medium god, and it's not impossible for him to become a powerful god."

Almighty was too lazy to respond to such a dry and weak attempt to poach her, and coldly replied: "Only Apollo, Artemis, and Athena can go to Toril."

There are some gods sleeping in Mount Olympus who are neither good nor bad, but have principles and a kind heart; you can take your time to consider them.

If Hermes were to appear, he would only do one thing: stay by Zeus's side and protect his life.

The old mage shook his head sadly: "Toriel, what we lack now is not just a wise god, but also someone who is good-looking, has a background, and knows when to advance and retreat!"
I really think highly of you!

“Even if Hermes appears, Lansendell won’t react at all, so don’t overthink it.” Hermes laughed. “He acted particularly concerned back then just to get Taiji’s attention, hoping she would comfort him.”

"Taihime can't see him now, so why is he pretending to be a naive young boy?"

The old mage seemed to be momentarily confused, but he quickly regained his senses: "I value you, not because of Ransendall."

That guy has basically avoided getting into trouble for the past thousand years.

Toril has been eerily peaceful lately.

I'm not quite used to it, so I need some people who understand.

Your knowledge of business and law, even music and agriculture, and your exceptional management skills perfectly match my needs.

“Apollo and Athena can do these things,” Armes replied calmly.

“I can understand Athena. But Apollo?” the old mage hesitated. “He’s so impulsive, can he really manage matters involving the undead?”

"Wow, what a great performance!" Katarina exclaimed sincerely.

The old monk couldn't help but look at her: "Sometimes, asking questions is just to give others a way to speak or to introduce yourself, little wolf, do you understand?"

"Oh...you want Armies to write Apollo's job application!" Katarina exclaimed, suddenly realizing. "But you have to ask Apollo first if he'd be willing to go to that big... Toril..."

"He's willing! He's definitely very willing!"

Although it's unclear why Lori let Katharina do as she pleased, Armies, as the person involved, certainly couldn't let her say anything unpleasant.

He had been waiting for this day for a very long time.

What's the difference between Zeus of Mount Olympus and a living dead?
If it weren't for the need to protect Apollo and his companions who were forced to remain in Mount Olympus, Hermes would have already given his beloved god a quick death!

If Hermes initially thought that the divine thunder of Mount Paradise would grant Zeus, who controlled thunder, a new life, after watching for 100,000 years, he had already understood the truth... If one day Zeus truly opened his eyes, then he would no longer be himself.

Rather than describing it as a thunderbolt that destroyed the evil aura surrounding Zeus, it was more like a treacherous act that turned this Greek god into a blank slate and inscribed upon him an absolute loyalty to the gods of order.

Zeus would never accept such a consequence.
