News of the war has spread from the Empire, and the streets and alleys of the territory are now buzzing with discussion.
Soon, the promises of the military nobles of the Kingdom of Gil reached Sandy Territory. Even in Ron's territory, he didn't know how many powerful individuals would go to the Carlo Magic Empire—they were all talented people! However, Ron certainly wouldn't stop them; it was their own decision, and Ron would only provide financial assistance.
On the same day, Ron received several pieces of classified intelligence.
The two reports came from the two popes, and the third came from the Tulip Merchant Guild. The contents of the reports were different, but the key information was almost the same.
A demigod has appeared in the Underdark, hindering the joint operation of the major human empires. The internal pacification efforts of the Carlo Magic Empire have only yielded a contract signed by the demigod ancestors.
The contract stipulates that during the Empire's expedition, legendary-level and above powerhouses from all sides of the Underdark must not make any moves...
A contract is only possible with demigods! Without demigods, the internal pacification plan should be completely completed.
Multiple intelligence reports indicate that this unexpected demigod comes from the Shatian Palace. Indeed, the world-renowned top organization on the continent has long been more than just one legendary figure in charge.
If the opponent has a demigod-level expert, then what about the hidden legends? We must be wary.
Fortunately, Prince Wu Lai had considered things carefully. The younger one beat up the prince, and now the older one is coming. The Carlo Magic Empire won't let this go so easily.
Because of Prince Woolley's meddling.
After that test of Ron's assassination attempt, no legendary-level assassins were dispatched. There were still some master-level and lower-level assassins on missions.
If the legendary assassin had made a big move before the contract was signed, the internal peace agreement might not have gone so smoothly this time.
After Ron returned to Sandy Territory, even the probing assassinations temporarily lost their meaning, as angels had indeed intervened in Sandy Territory before, and the Dual God Cult was present.
It's hard to say whether the angels will come again in the near future!
Returning to the intelligence analysis, this time, if it were Ron, Ron thought he would definitely find a way to kill the demigod he knew was an enemy.
What a golden opportunity! It's rare that the Carlo Magic Empire has contacted so many imperial-level continental powers, and the intelligence even mentions that the Orc Empire is involved...
A rare opportunity only resulted in a time-limited internal pacification agreement... Everything points to one speculation: these well-connected individuals are all watching and waiting.
If the expedition is won, it will be worth fighting to the death with the demigods of the Underdark; if it is lost, these guys will have to abandon their home world!
The inevitable result of the defeat of the Creator God was nothing to lament, Ron thought about the rest.
It seems I should attend tomorrow's territory management meeting. Originally, Ron really intended to give up completely, but the sudden change in the situation on the continent has made it difficult for him to move towards becoming a lazy lord. Ron is having a really tough time!
Ron, instead, let out a long sigh. His vision of being a lazy lord! Ah! ?·°(???﹏???)°·?
That day, Ron had Rita write down several more things, just in case Ron missed anything later, so that some instructions could be recorded in writing first!
In his study, Ron powerfully channeled his high-level magic swordsmanship's mental energy, thinking and thinking. Then, Ron suddenly said something that Rita had to write down.
After a day of repeatedly studying my own ideas, I finally felt that there shouldn't be any problems.
How should Sandi Territory develop in response to the aid requests from distant empires?
After thinking all day, it's time to rest.
Ron had gotten used to it; he would meditate, take a nap, and upon waking, the first thing he saw was Vivian's pretty young face.
Think about it, Ron is already sixteen. As a maid, Vivian had to take care of Ron a little since he was little, so she was a little older than Ron when they were young. Vivian should be eighteen now!
The little maid from back then, magical girl raising!
Lord Ron quickly finished washing up under the care of his maid.
The man didn't have the time for dressing up like those aristocratic young ladies; Ron finished washing up and went out.
I was eager to finish my swordsmanship training so I could attend the first Sandy Consul Conference.
Plans often go awry, and there's still a lot going on in Ron's Sandy territory!
However, when Ron finished washing up and went outside, he saw a kind old man.
That's right, this... is my mentor, Will.
Mentor Will no longer appeared as frail and aged as he had in previous years. After not seeing Mentor Will for many days, Ron's sudden morning meeting confirmed his intuition.
Instructor Will shows signs of rejuvenation, though not as obvious as the description of rejuvenation. However, Ron currently feels that Instructor Will is more like a powerful middle-aged or elderly swordsman.
In previous years, Instructor Will only gave Ron the image of an old, decrepit swordsman.
The changes are truly remarkable; even the wrinkles on Professor Will's face have diminished considerably.
The changes were becoming somewhat obvious, and Ron naturally began his first words upon meeting: "Mentor, have you successfully broken through to demigodhood? Have you begun the path to godhood!"
Unexpectedly, the mentor, Legendary Will, shook his head silently and spoke in his usual lecturing tone: "Boy, demigod, you're not as simple as you think. This time, you'll come with me!"
Not a demigod yet?
Ron sighed inwardly. Alas, his backing was still not enough, especially after learning that the Underdark indeed harbored demigods.
It's likely that all imperial-level powers have demigods stationed there!
Even if the demigod ancestor had to become a dimensional traveler for some reason, an imperial-level being should still have means such as demigod artifacts or forbidden magic scrolls.
Ron's strongest allies right now are Rita and Mentor Will, while Elder Chris is generally unreliable, leaving him feeling insecure.
Or perhaps I should try to build better relationships with my two immediate supervisors. By the way, that's something to think about after I get back.
Ron pondered deeply the request from his mentor, Will.
The mentor asked Ron to leave as soon as he arrived. Perhaps there was some kind of opportunity, or perhaps he was just in a bit of a hurry! Ron couldn't say anything else, and he tried to postpone things whenever possible.
Having made up his mind, Ron replied to his mentor: "Mentor, please listen to your disciple Ron. Could you give me a day? I'm..."
Before Ron could elaborate on his other difficulties, Instructor Will interrupted him, saying, "Alright, just one day. We'll set off immediately at this time tomorrow."
"Understood, Mentor Will." Ron bowed respectfully as a disciple.
Mentor Will nodded slightly in respect to his disciple, and then disappeared from the spot in the short time it took Ron to look up.
It was too fast; Ron didn't even have a chance to react.
When I looked up, my tutor was gone.
Ron really thought that his mentor hadn't returned and that what he had imagined was just a hallucination. Unfortunately, it was just a self-deceiving thought.
Even with so many things to do, Ron could only give a formal explanation.
She asked Vivian, who was standing nearby, "Has the mentor been here?"
"Yes, young master."
"It's nothing, let's go back inside first."
Unfortunately, things are always unpredictable. Ron returned to his study and once again had to exert his mental power to try to explain the general development of Sandy Territory in the future.
With many things to do, Rita kept taking notes. Ron's thoughts also included some precautions to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, such as Lord Ron's suggestions in case things went wrong.
The proposal is a dead end; please consider the specific circumstances, Manager Nika.
The text is lengthy, in which Ron also has Rita record the magic of two modified spellbooks.
He earned these two divine-modified spells from the Goddess of Magic. Ron planned to place them at Sandy Magic Academy. The contents of the divine-modified spellbook were far more than just two divine-modified spells, but Ron only felt that these two divine-modified spells were suitable.
Even if these two spells were used against Ron, Ron would still have a backup plan. It was because of this backup plan that he knew he couldn't let his apprentice starve him.
If he had the time, Ron would have gradually revealed parts of the God-modified magic, but unfortunately, that will have to wait.
At one point, Ron also prepared a speech for Nika.
Ron had originally planned to go to Sandy Magic Academy to boost his loyalty, but he'd given that opportunity to Nika, the head steward.
Fortunately, Steward Nika is also a high-level mage, so we'll see how she performs then.
The drawbacks of spell slot magic have been largely resolved to the best of our ability, but the powerful aspects of spell slot magic remain to be seen.
Ron had planned ahead and secretly made all the arrangements, but unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes.
When it comes to boosting loyalty in big battles, Ron would normally announce a new order, adding a hidden bonus for War Mages.
Only when students have reached a certain level in all currently common magic systems—war magic, magical magic, and life magic—can the academy award them three times the credits, including access to content on miracle magic.
In other words, all those who receive the final reward will be in war magic, while students in the magic course will have to consider whether to take additional war magic courses.
However, if war magic is added, the extra credits for the magic course will be cancelled, as this is for pure magic mages.
The key is miracle magic, and the students should be very eager to witness it!
What is magic that is called a miracle?
Just imagine the scene at Sandy Magic Academy back then.
Well, from now on it's up to Nika.
This time, I've given Manager Nika quite a few instructions, my dear manager! Thank you for your hard work.
After giving her explanations, Rita included them in the written record, and Ron went out again.
