A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

However, in the current timeline, Hobra is not a kingdom, but a republic, a nation ruled by a large alliance of clans. In the animated version, the story hasn't reached this point yet, so from an anime perspective, Hobra could appear in any form.

The Republic of Hobra in this timeline is, in some ways, far stronger than its counterpart in the novel's timeline. Although this timeline doesn't have a character named Tact, it possesses a massive, modern army. If the Republic of Hobra harbors ambitions to conquer the world, other nations are doomed.

That's why Li Wei felt that McGrady's excessive pursuit of power was entirely self-inflicted. With a queen above him, even if the sky were to fall, the tallest person would be hit first. If he became the queen, there would be no way to escape.

Lisia said, "So, Your Excellency, how do you plan to handle relations with the royal family? I mean, with the Queen."

Li Wei said, "Of course I'm just watching the show. Anyway, my duty as a hero in this world is to fight against the tides. As for the internal strife within the royal families of different countries, I'm just a bystander watching the show."

Lisia didn't see anything wrong with Levi's choice. In fact, as long as he fulfilled his duty as a hero and repelled the waves, he was a qualified hero. After all, the people of this world summoned the Four Holy Heroes precisely because they hoped to gain their help and emerge victorious in this battle against the waves.

As long as the world can survive the War of the Waves, the hero's character and personality are minor issues. No matter how perfect the hero's personality is, it is meaningless if the war of the waves cannot be won.

Although Lisia is not a pragmatist, her aristocratic elite education from childhood and her long adventurous life have made her neither as naive and naive as other noble ladies, nor as morally fastidious.

In her view, if the kingdom continues on its current path, it might be destroyed by Hobra someday, or shattered into pieces, and the current royal family would become a puppet regime.

Lisia said, "々．If you choose to watch the show, then the Kingdom is probably doomed. Although as a citizen of the Kingdom, I should theoretically stand on the Kingdom's side, my choice is meaningless now."

Li Wei said, "The kingdom is indeed facing numerous crises, and I see no hope in the people of this country. In fact, your decision to immigrate to Hobra with your whole family is a sound one for at least the next year."

Hobray has followed in Ben's footsteps. Ben's expansion is like a viral infection; they will not stop their expansion for profit until they have a powerful enough enemy around them.

However, as the founder of this nation, Li Wei knew that such countries, due to their excessive pursuit of profit, were prone to economic crises; in fact, the two could be said to be mutually reinforcing. Therefore, for an empire like Hobra's, the greatest crisis often did not come from external sources, but from its own inherent weaknesses.

That's why Li Wei said there wouldn't be any problems within the year. After all, he had placed a puppet clone in Hobray, where Krauser had gathered a lot of intelligence. The identity of a councilor was quite useful.

At the current rate of development, Hobra will face a crisis in at most thirty years. Of course, such a crisis will only cause greater harm to ordinary people at the bottom. For those who hold a large amount of high-quality products, the crisis is also an opportunity, a good opportunity for mutual mergers and acquisitions.

Thanks to Krauss's protection, the Aiken family has established a firm foothold in Hobray and has now started a business selling cigarettes and lighters, earning far more than they would have here in the kingdom.

Now, Lishia can be considered the eldest daughter of the main family.

Chapter 4. The Birth of Philo

Li Wei sensed that the monster egg he had placed in the incubation room had begun to shake irregularly, and he knew that this was a sign that the little bird inside was about to hatch.

Li Wei said, "I need to go to the incubator; the eggs are about to hatch."

Lisia said, "Then I won't bother you any longer, sir."

Lisia knew that newly hatched monsters would regard the first thing they saw as their mother, so although she was very curious, she could not go to the hatching room with Li Weiqi.

Li Wei rushed into the incubation room. Inside the transparent glass box with a thermostat, there was a monster egg covered in purple cloud patterns. The eggshell had cracked and was tilted to one side. Li Wei could already see the tiny beak of the little creature inside.

The fluffy little ball smashed the eggshell with force, and the short-legged chick, covered in down, rolled out of the broken shell and landed on the dry straw laid out inside the glass box.

"Chirp! Chirp chirp!" The fluffy creature, about the size of two adult fists, saw Li Wei and its eyes were filled with a human-like light.

Li Wei opened the top of the incubator, and the fluffy little bird nimbly jumped out of the incubator.

4. Most birds on Earth have only a few downy feathers on their bodies when they hatch, but this little guy in front of us already has a very complete set of downy feathers on his body to keep warm, right after he hatched.

Li Wei felt he needed to see an ophthalmologist because the little bird in front of him somehow gave him the impression of being quite handsome. Its eyes, like those of a young child, were full of curiosity about the world. This kind of gaze suggested that this Filo bird was naturally much more intelligent than its kind.

While Li Wei didn't care much for the most direct boost to combat power from the Four Sacred Weapons, the numerous auxiliary abilities they possessed gave him a new perspective. These abilities, which could make the monsters under the wielder's command more intelligent, were extremely useful.

The fluffy little bird has pale pinkish-yellow down and looks like a ball. However, it has a very distinctive forked crest, which at least tells people that it is a bird and not a fluffy ball.

“From now on, your name will be Philo,” Levi said with a smile.

Although Philo possesses an initial intelligence far exceeding that of its kind, it has only just hatched and therefore does not yet understand what Levi's words mean. As Didi grows, it will understand that the name Philo is being called to it.

Although Philo was not large in size, her jumping ability was quite excellent. With a light jump, she landed on top of Levi's head and made it her nest.

Li Wei didn't intend to say anything about Philo's naughtiness; after all, such a cute little guy had special privileges.

Philo scratched at Levi's head with her little paws, making his head look like a messy chicken coop before finally sitting down.

With Filo on his head, Levi entered the living room, where Licia and Raphtalia both looked on in surprise.

"This is a Filo bird, how can it be so cute?" Lisia covered her mouth, her eyes practically sparkling with stars.

Girls are much less resistant to cute things. The two girls quickly surrounded her, looking at Philo on Levi's head, wanting to reach out and touch her, but afraid that their actions would frighten Philo.

Philo, however, was not shy at all. She stared at the two girls with her big eyes, full of curiosity.

"May I touch it?" Raphtalia asked cautiously.

“Of course.” Li Wei squatted down.

Although Raphtalia's level has now reached a fairly high level, thanks to the spell Li Wei cast on her, she is still the same little girl she was at the beginning, and her body has not prematurely developed despite the increase in level.

That's why, even though Raphtalia is less than 4 centimeters tall, she can't touch Levi's head when she raises her hand. In order for her to be able to touch Filo, Levi has to squat down.

Li Wei crouched down so that Raphtalia could touch Filo. Raphtalia placed her hand on Filo's fluffy head. Filo was a little unaccustomed to this feeling and gently pecked at Raphtalia's hand with her beak, her face showing a human-like expression of confusion.

That chubby, fluffy face could actually make expressions similar to those of a human, just like a character from a Disney animation. It was comical yet playful, and looked quite adorable.

“It doesn’t seem to like us touching it. Is it because we’re not familiar with it yet?” Raphtalia said.

Raphtalia didn't dare touch Filo too much, afraid that the cute little bird would dislike her, so after feeling Filo's fluffy touch, she decisively let go.

Lisia said, "It's possible that most monsters will consider the first being they see after hatching as their mother. Right now, it's only close to Lord Livi. If he weren't here, we reckon it would run far away if we touched it."

Li Wei removed Philo from his head, and Philo was quite obedient, not struggling at all.

"It's so obedient!" Raphtalia exclaimed softly.

Lisia said, "The combat power of Filo birds fluctuates greatly. Unless they have a special bloodline or live long enough, they can only become powerful. But as it stands, this Filo bird doesn't seem to have anything special about it other than being cute. I wonder how far it will grow in the future."

Li Wei just smiled and didn't say anything. Philo itself didn't have any noble bloodline. Its parents were two Philo birds of inferior bloodline, the kind that pull carts on the street. On Earth, they would be equivalent to donkeys. Its origins were quite lowly.

In the original storyline, Filo's later strength was due to a variety of reasons. In addition to the boost from the Holy Shield, there was also the gift from Queen Filo. Both of these were indispensable; without either one, Filo could not have grown to that level.

However, now that Philo's master is Levi, Levi has at least a hundred ways to improve Philo's strength. If he wants to, such a thing is not a problem at all.

Philo was placed on the floor by Levi. Curious, Philo began to explore the world around it with its short legs. However, Levi didn't provide it with a carriage, so its hobby couldn't be satisfied in this timeline.

It's said that a daughter in one's family has just come of age, but for Li Wei, it's more like a bird transforming into a human. Philo birds, as magical creatures, can take on human form when they reach a certain level. However, ordinary philo birds are limited by their own combat strength and are enslaved, unable to participate in battles, making it difficult for them to level up. Wild philo birds, after surviving their most dangerous period, can continuously grow stronger and stronger.

It's important to understand that Filo birds are mortal enemies of dragons. Without real skill, how could they possibly stand against a dragon? You could say that Filo birds are a special kind of monster with a very low minimum skill level but no upper limit. As long as they live long enough, slaying dragons is just commonplace for them.

Chapter 1. A Small Gathering of the Four Heroes

After Philo's birth, the Levi's people continued their journey. Even without using teleportation technology, the mobile fortress's speed was still much faster than that of ordinary horses.

Over the next few days, Li Wei stayed inside the mobile fortress, constantly moving between different regions. He did not focus on leveling up by fighting monsters, but instead observed the lives of ordinary people in the kingdom.

To be honest, the kingdom's current situation is worse than Li Wei had anticipated. Relying on the mobility of the mobile fortress, he passed through the territories of several nobles along the way. While passing through these territories, Li Wei also observed the lives of ordinary people within them, and their living conditions were quite poor.

Inadequate production technology, coupled with heavy taxes and levies, meant that ordinary people in noble territories could barely survive. Those slaves who lost their freedom for various reasons lived in even more miserable conditions. The kingdom's feudal system was built on the blood and tears of slaves, and such situations were visible everywhere within the kingdom.

After all, this is a world with extraordinary powers. Nobles generally possess extraordinary powers, while those who have become slaves either have no power to resist or, although they have the power to resist, they are marked with slave insignia and cannot resist their masters.

In such an environment, it was utterly wishful thinking for ordinary people and slaves to rebel against the nobles. The kingdom simply did not have the conditions for a revolution among the lower classes because the nobles' foundation was far too deep, far beyond what ordinary people could match.

As the start of the Battle of the Waves drew ever closer, Li Wei ordered the mobile fortress to change direction and head towards the capital.

........................

Inside the royal palace, the four holy warriors, who hadn't gathered for some time, reunited.

With less than four hours until the start of the Battle of the Waves, none of the four teams of warriors continued to wander around. Instead, they stayed obediently in the palace, using this time to carry out various preparations.

The four sat down around the round table. Li Wei looked at the other three. The Sword Hero, Tenki Ren, still had that aloof demeanor. The Bow Hero, Kawasumi Itsuki, still looked weak and submissive. The Spear Hero, Kitamura Motoyasu, had a gloomy look on his face. This gloom made Tenki Ren and Kawasumi Itsuki feel somewhat uncomfortable.

During this period, Li Wei did not bother Kitamura Motoyasu, but let him develop freely. However, Kitamura Motoyasu's development was not very smooth, which made his level the lowest among the four, which is one of the reasons why he was so gloomy.

Tianmu Lian said, "It seems that everyone has had a very fulfilling time recently, and their levels have also improved quite a bit. Of course, Mr. Li Wei is an exception; the speed at which he has improved his level is simply too exaggerated."

Kawasumi Itsuki, who was standing nearby, said, "I heard that Mr. Li Wei demolished the church's cathedral. Is there some misunderstanding here?"

As the Hero of the Bow and a beneficiary of the Church's actions, Kawasumi Itsuki was understandably upset by the Church's humiliation. However, given Li Wei's strength, he couldn't intervene on behalf of the Church. Therefore, he could only try to understand the situation and find out what had happened.

Li Wei laughed and said, "What misunderstanding could there be? The Three Heroes Cult has always disliked me, the Shield Hero. I wanted to use the Dragon Carved Hourglass to perform an advancement ceremony for my companion, but they wouldn't let me use it, so I taught them a lesson. It's that simple."

Kawasumi Itsuki said with a wry smile, "Isn't it a bit too much to tear down the entire cathedral just for this reason?"

Li Wei raised an eyebrow, a playful smile on his face, and said, "What do you mean by 'just for this reason'?"

Kawasumi was somewhat embarrassed. He knew he had spoken out of turn and didn't know how to respond to Li Wei.

Tianmu Lian, who was standing nearby, noticed the unusual atmosphere and said, "Indeed, the church went too far in this matter. Although Mr. Li Wei's behavior was a bit excessive, the reason for it is that the church does not allow Mr. Li Wei to use the Dragon Carving Hourglass."

Although Tenki Ren was a bit of a novice, he still had at least some insight. As the strongest of the four heroes, Li Wei was someone the others couldn't control. So, he had to instinctively interrupt this conversation, which was likely to cause conflict, and act as a peacemaker.

In Amaki Ren's view, Kawasumi Itsuki was someone who was easily flattered and became arrogant. He suspected that the Church was behind Kawasumi Itsuki's words. He couldn't control Li Wei on his own, so he needed the presence of Kawasumi Itsuki and Kitamura Motoyasu; otherwise, the Four Holy Heroes would become Li Wei's platform for discourse.

··· ·Requesting flowers···· ·

Li Wei laughed and said, "Isn't there still someone reasonable? The malice the Three Courages Sect has shown me is hard for you, as those who enjoy their offerings, to imagine. Now, even if I were to stay at an inn by the roadside, the innkeeper wouldn't rent me a room. This is all the work of the Three Courages Sect."

Tianmu Lian felt his scalp tingle. In his opinion, the people of the Three Courages Sect did not know how to write the word "death" and dared to do such a thing. If Li Wei really took it seriously, the Kingdom would definitely be in big trouble.

..... .... ...

From this perspective, Li Wei's temper can be considered quite good. If he were in such a situation, he would definitely not let it go. After learning what had happened, Tianmu Lianxin's doubts completely disappeared. Moreover, he had some suspicions about the Three Heroes Sect. During this time, he had been investigating the secrets of the Three Heroes Sect, and he found that the Three Heroes Sect was not as glamorous as it appeared on the surface.

Amaki Ren said, "I will try to negotiate with the church about this matter and make them stop doing such foolish things. The church's prejudice against the Shield Hero group is too strong. To defeat the Tide, all four heroes must work together, but what the church is doing now can be said to be a hindrance."

Excluding Li Wei, among the remaining three heroes, Tianmu Lian is not the oldest, but he is the most mature of the three and understands the current situation, which prevents the church from continuing its reckless actions.

Li Wei said, "What the church does is their business. I just need to fulfill my duty as a hero."

What Li Wei wanted to complain about was that there were spies everywhere in the kingdom now, and with this wave of attacks, McGrady's side was up to their old tricks again.

Maddie also wields considerable influence within the Kingdom Knights. She intends to use the Kingdom Knights to achieve her goal of gathering refugees and plundering as many residents from other territories of the Kingdom as possible to her own land.
