The latter rolled his eyes and wrapped his coat tighter around himself.

Damn it! I forgot to close the bottle cap again!

Thirty-one Valkyries from the village ultimately decided to sail south with Todd.

After several days of sailing, their arrival in Muxi Town caused a sensation.

The residents were seeing the legendary Valkyrie for the first time, and while they were amazed, they were also very curious. The unruly North Islanders, while respecting Todd, began to fear his mystery.

After dealing with Brunhilde's question of "how to rebuild Asgard" for the fiftieth time, Todd summoned Harkins and asked him to arrange food and lodging for these Valkyries whose looks, height, and strength were proportional, before convening the Knights' Assembly.

At the meeting, Joe spoke first. This monk, whose emotional intelligence was quite impressive, expressed his concerns about the Valkyries' arrival after outlining the development plan: "There are more than forty pirate prisoners in Muxi Town. What if these women, who are regarded as demigods, have a negative impact on the residents' faith?"

Todd shut the monk down with a single sentence: "Those who truly have a firm faith in God the Father will not care about the temptations of these heresies; if they change their faith so easily because of heresies, it means that they are not qualified to believe in God the Father."

Queen Mary spoke second, outlining the construction progress of Mursey College, the Cathedral, the Mursey Library, and the Theater, and pointing out the town's financial deficit. Finally, to Todd's surprise, he mentioned Dion, who had been suspended, hoping the Grand Master would reinstate this talented knight.

Although he didn't know why she was willing to plead for Dion, Todd gave a positive answer that he would consider the offer.

Next, Cumberland, who was in charge of military affairs, Kendi, who was in charge of technology, and Alfonso, who was in charge of defense, all reported and requested instructions.

In processing and making decisions, Todd overlooked a woman who remained silent throughout—Ratchet.

After the meeting, Todd, back in the director's office, met with Rachel, who was wearing a loose-fitting nun's robe.

The woman didn't say much, but simply took out a letter from her bosom, the cover of which was embossed with the image of the "Crown of Thorns".

"Chief, the Relief Society would like to meet with you."
