After leaving his parents' courtyard, Ron returned to his residence.
Although Ron's primary motivation for this trip was to have fun, he still needed to think carefully about how to keep a low profile. ∠(′д｀)
But... ah! Never mind, we'll see when the time comes!
The thought of meeting the Carlo royal family tomorrow...
The protection provided by the territorial assassination organization was insufficient; orders were first issued by the lord, and other related matters were also addressed…
That evening, before leaving, Ron did his best to outline the direction of development within the territory.
Ron is confident in the talent pool within the territory. He'll see what changes Sandy Territory will undergo when he returns next time...
The following day, at noon, in a private room on the top floor of the Open Source Hotel.
Ron met His Highness Prince Woolley Caro here.
Upon first meeting the eldest prince of the Carlo Empire, Ron's initial impression was that he was a mage with a peaceful temperament and a scholarly air, and his appearance could be described as handsome. Although he did not have the same resolute feeling as a swordsman, Ron felt that he should be a wise prince.
Ron bowed respectfully to him, who was dressed in purple court attire.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"No need."
The eldest prince of the Carlo Empire naturally dared not fully accept the courtesy, but since Ron also held the status of a dual pope, it was actually quite reasonable for the eldest prince of Carlo to bow to Ron.
To avoid trouble, Ron decided to meet the prince as a viscount.
Prince Carlo's opening remarks confirmed Ron's suspicions about his scholarly demeanor: "You are Viscount Ron of Sandy Territory. I have long wished to meet you..."
"It's truly kind of you, Your Highness, to show your concern..."
"No need for such formalities. In fact, our relationship could be even closer."
"Why is that?" Ron asked, puzzled.
"Do you know why Her Majesty the Empress of my Empire sent me here?"
"Not because of the elves?"
“That’s part of the reason, but more importantly, you are the successor of Micah Morris,” Prince Woolley said with a smile.
It seems there's more to the story than meets the eye back then!
However, Ron didn't quite understand how the Empire knew about this successor's identity.
Seeing Ron's confusion, Prince Carlo took the initiative to speak: "You don't need to overthink it. The ancestral spirits of the elves were able to repel the invasion of dimensional forces and achieve unexpected results. You must have used the spatial magic of the legendary Micah Morris to launch a surprise attack..."
"This magic is recorded in the Carlo Magic Empire. It is a stacking magic. You don't need to reach the level of a great mage to use this magic. It just so happens that you, Viscount Ron, are in the dimensional abyss... and the illusions in your territory, etc. With a little speculation, the result is self-evident."
Ron's eyes flickered. So that spatial super-modification magic actually had an official name. It was rare that he had even given it a name back then.
Wait, does this mean the Carlo Magic Empire can help Ron further decipher the space magic book?
Thinking about it this way, it's not so important that the Carlo royal family had any arrangements for the Abyss.
One of Micah Morris's masterpieces, a grimoire of spatial magic, is something Ron can only understand in part at present, far from being fully proficient in.
The Carlo Empire, founded on magic, may have hope.
Especially those legendary spells, all of them are various spatial arrays, plus ancient and different languages... a celestial book, truly a celestial book.
At the very least, understanding the magical terminology of Micah Morris's era is crucial, as it can be used to reconstruct the magic, or even to modify spatial magic by applying the current world laws during the truce between the gods.
Okay, it's always good to know the situation first. So, going to the Carlo Magic Empire is more than just playing around.
Since others treated Ron with sincerity, Ron naturally wouldn't bother with superficial gestures anymore.
For the remainder of the conversation, Ron deliberately omitted the formalities; the pleasantries among nobles were truly tedious, especially in a world with a long history.
"Your Highness, what exactly was the relationship between Micah Morris and the Carlo Magic Empire back then?"
"Back then... Micah Morris, as the most outstanding space legend of the last thousand years, collaborated with the Carlo royal family to explore dimensions, gaining considerable benefits... After the era of Micah Morris passed, the Carlo Magic Empire was able to produce several more demigods to travel to the dimensional world, all because of that time..."
Upon hearing this, Ron understood that back then, Micah Morris's relationship with the Carol royal family was not merely a superficial dispute, but rather a mutually beneficial one.
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "In the world more than a hundred years from now, will the dimensional travelers from the Carlo Empire return? Or will only the demigods from the Duchy of Fekham remain?"
"This... I can't say for sure. Perhaps we'll return, perhaps we won't, but there's no need to worry. Given your relationship with my empire, we can take you with us..."
Ron replied, "No need, the two goddesses will take care of me."
"Viscount, you need not be angry. This prince will not force you."
"I'm not angry, I just appreciate the prince's kindness."
I almost got caught up in it. If I had said something wrong, who knows what my two goddess bosses would have done?
It seems that the bookish eldest prince of the Carlo Empire is actually quite cunning!
But is it worth offending two goddesses to acquire someone as talented as Ron?
Although the goddess wouldn't directly do anything to the Carlo royal family, it's still not a good thing.
Every empire is so vast, with multiple pantheons involved, that the gods cannot directly harm the royal family, a balance maintained over many years. Small kingdoms, however, are different…
If Prince Carlo wore glasses again, Ron would call him the cunning prince.
It's always good to be valued, but unfortunately, Ron is already on the pirate ship of his two superiors. These royals are really something...
Turning my thoughts back, why think about these things? It's pointless anyway, let's just have some fun first.
"Your Highness, do you have any recommendations for fun places to visit in your Carlo Empire?"
"Anyway, we have a very good relationship, Your Highness, what do you say?"
Prince Carol's eyelids twitched. This Ron really knows how to take advantage of a situation!
He had only mentioned their close historical ties when he immediately tried to get on their good side, directly acknowledging his status as a successor to the Micah Morris Space Legend.
That's for the best; it's certainly better for them to be closer. Prince Woolley was quick to understand: "Viscount Ron, listen to me, my Empire..."
"..."
"..."
"How was it? Was it fun?" e(*′???｀)3?
The two boys talked about fun places, just like ordinary friends!
Prince Woolley also found himself relaxed and at ease with Ron, because he increasingly felt that this guy... was perhaps just as indifferent and casual with everyone?
Shaking his head inwardly, Prince Wu Lai seemed lost in thought.
Ron has no self-awareness whatsoever, a person with no sense of hierarchy, which is perfectly normal. The rest of the people, on the other hand, love to overthink things. Those people must have a really tiring life.
"Alright, Your Highness, we've finished our discussion. Let's go back and pack our last few things before we set off!"
“Very well, Viscount Ron.”
Both parties left.
Ron went to the territory's research and development department to ride the latest version of the exclusive magic crystal vehicle. In addition, Greatsword Master Jeff also brought a little dragon, mainly just in case, since the current exclusive magic crystal vehicle has never really gone far.
On Prince Carlo's side, the same setup was used.
Another magic crystal vehicle made of dark red meteorite wood.
Wow, this is incredibly luxurious! It's worlds apart from the magic crystal carriage made of light rock wood. Dark red meteorite wood is even more high-end. This magic crystal carriage is the closest to the one exclusively owned by Lord Sandy.
There are currently four seats in the car: Ron, Vivian, Rita, Uncle Arno, and Little Ta sits on Rita's shoulders.
Flying through the air, the sound of the wind magic circle was almost inaudible; the technique was decent.
Facing his companions, Prince Wu Lai and his entourage.
"Your Highness, lead the way, let's go."
"Okay, you guys follow."
Two vehicles and two flying dragons escorted them, while the aerial formation flew by.
