Yinla made a mistake. In fact... he didn't need to go to the Kingdom himself, and neither did the support personnel who were called up to help.

Since the Three Towers were given enough funds to help find people, there's no need for these people to figure out how to go to the country themselves, as that would be too far away.

By the time reinforcements arrive, the various religious orders of the Theocracy will probably be in a state of chaos—the teleportation array of the Three Towers will send the reinforcements to the Theocracy in batches, and then teleport everyone back.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the Three Towers was not good.

...

It could even be said that this place was solemn... There were many mages and many professionals whose countries had suffered huge losses in the beast tide, some even perishing.

From that day on, they became homeless.

"They...looked really sad..."

Satan Ye, who was standing next to Yinla, said this, while Vera, who was standing beside her, simply nodded. Changing her usual lighthearted and playful style, she said rather seriously, "Yes, because the past has been denied, and the future is uncertain."

Yinla nodded at Vera's words, and added softly, "It's hard to understand the sorrow of an exile until someone is truly homeless, Satan Ye... You can imagine what it would be like to witness the destruction of the Demon King's territory."

"..."

In his imagination, Satan Ye shook his head decisively, looking as if he strongly rejected that future.

"It's painful, isn't it? Now imagine Selina dying, Mr. Rainbow Shell and the others. Including the scene of me dying in front of you, that's what these children might go through..."

Yinla said some very ominous things, rubbed Satan Ye's head, and looked at her... and then saw Satan Ye with a "Huh? I can't believe it" expression.

"Hmm, I can't imagine it."

As Satanye said this, she blinked at Yinla, then looked at Vera, and said with some hesitation, "To put it bluntly, only the weak and the weak nations would die and be destroyed by such beasts, right?"

"..."

Satan Ye's words drew angry stares from many people... Although it is indeed true that weakness is the original sin, whether one is a commoner or a king. The inability to become a noble or control one's subordinates is the biggest mistake.

But it shouldn't be said at a time like this.

Yinla stopped Satan Ye from continuing. He apologized to those around him on his behalf, saying, "I'm sorry... but please calm down quickly. Since you've accepted the commission, you need to do what's stipulated in the commission."

The others had already stopped being angry when they saw that the person speaking was Satan Ye and that Yinla was next to her... There was no need to argue with a child.

“Yes, I understand what you mean, Senior Yinla… My kingdom was destroyed, so we cannot let the Holy See suffer the same fate as my kingdom. That is why we need to be on our toes.”

A female mage said this, implying that many mages from the three towers would participate in this aid effort, and naturally, everyone from the Pure White Tower would participate as well…

But Yila didn't actually mean to say that. Deep down, he was a very cruel and indifferent person. The destroyed kingdom had no value to him, so it was something he could easily throw to the back of his mind.

"..."

But let's just say it is like this...

"Let's go, Your Highness Satan Ye and Yinla, let's go sit over there for a while."

As Vera said this, she led Ira and Satan to a bench not far away, where the botanical garden classrooms were located... but it seemed that no one was having classes there at the moment.

The potion class for the Battle Mage school seems to be tomorrow... Which school is it today? But it's probably in the afternoon, otherwise there wouldn't be no one here in the morning—although there are usually many students here who are interested in potions and are studying on their own.

Yes, self-taught (wasting materials while playing potions).

"Yinla, is that really what you think?"

When Vera asked this question, Yinla shook her head decisively, and then, seeing Vera's "I knew it" expression, said, "I'm not so saddened by the demise of other countries, especially small countries that I've never been to."

After all, Inra isn't a very empathetic person.

Vera raised an eyebrow as if she had thought of something, and asked, "What about the Demon King's territory? Or the Empire? Would you be sad if they were to perish?"

That hit the nail on the head, and Satan was also very curious about Illa's answer.

"No, I'll only feel annoyed and regretful."

Yinla answered simply, even with the Demon King right beside him, he was unwilling to say things like "I will live and die with the Demon King's territory". He said, "The ship that can carry my dreams, as it stands now... is the largest one in the Demon King's territory."

Under these words, Satan Ye's gaze noticeably softened.

“I don’t care, Mr. Yimra.”

As Satan Ye said this, she sat on the chair, swinging her legs in the air, and said, "As long as you like, the Demon King's territory can be any shape you like. If you think it's too small, you can make improvements at any time. I don't care if we have to give up some crew members."

Just as mentioned at the beginning, after Yinla boarded the boat... she could no longer control the oars and the rudder.

"But what kind of country is the Holy Kingdom?"

As always, Satan Ye, a country bumpkin with a curious mind, asked this question.

This is something that is difficult to summarize.

"Simply put, forbidden beliefs have given rise to more beliefs. Under the guise of 'forbidden gods,' countless bizarre sects have emerged. These highly autonomous religious groups have formed theocracies, nominally led by the Pope."

As Yinla said this, he looked at Satan Ye, who did not understand at all, thought carefully about how to describe it, and then said, "You can think of the Pope as the Demon King, and then make the Demon King's territory and Sirina disappear... and replace them with the leaders of various territories to assist you."

After hearing this, Satan Ye understood a little.

"Oh, I see..."

As she said this, Satanye nodded, then, as if remembering something, she looked up and asked, "Wait, if that's the case, and those territories (the religious orders) unite to rebel... wouldn't I have no way to stop them?"

Vera nodded seriously at Satan Ye's words, then disrespectfully reached out and ruffled Satan Ye's hair, marveling at how nice it felt, and said, "Yes, that's the problem, otherwise..."

Vera: "The Theocracy won't stoop so low as to need our help!"

Yinla: "Otherwise, the beast tide is just a joke with the concerted efforts of the Order."
