"You're the East Sea Commissioner, right? But now you'll beco my personal assistant. We'll go to Pedan together. If there's anything in the Narrow Sea, I can imdiately connect with my contacts, and you can connect with Lostra."
Liszt thought that with this, the plan was foolproof, and he could start the greatest adventure of the 27th century as ntioned by the Mad Tiger-Man.
Celeste squinted her eyes.
This seed quite reasonable. As the East Sea Commissioner, she had to handle all matters concerning the East Sea for the country, while Liszt was the leader, allowing for imdiate responses.
After she had already led the drafting of proposals in Mulong Capital, the rest was left to her capable subordinates, ensuring nothing went awry.
At present, it's indeed sufficient to just keep an eye on Liszt.
But being called Agent Seventeen, a personal assistant, sounded a bit odd.
"I guess that's fine, but what do you an by Agent Seventeen?"
Celeste looked puzzled.
"You don't want to know."
Liszt felt the need to properly train this attractive young woman, assigning various tasks to not only have her help him woo others but perhaps woo her directly as well.
Liszt felt sowhat hurt.
His relationship with Sharon had finally broken down.
Rein, as the inheritor of the Will of Fire, had been working hard to make things difficult for Liszt. He had inford Sharon about Liszt's marriage and other ssy affairs.
Sharon naturally remained skeptical and demanded to confront Liszt face to face.
As a pure-hearted woman and passionate warrior of love, Sharon could not accept any harem nonsense, and that was the truth.
Even though their relationship was never formally established, nor formally ended, it had faded. Since they're adults, it wasn't a big deal.
They maintained a friendship. Sharon had grown tired of the precarious life in Aran and wanted to return to Heaven Port, expressing her desire to assist Mo Yutong.
Although the two won studied in different fields, they had taken the sa foreign language elective in the past and were acquaintances.
Caroso returned to Golden Palm Port to fetch Fafna. If no one protected Sharon, Liszt couldn't rest assured letting her embark on a long journey. He could only promise that after the great adventure was complete, he would compensate Sharon heavily and must unlock the CG of the Eternal Clock Tower!
"Why... can't I, like a protagonist in a galga, have my harem coexisting harmoniously?"
Liszt suddenly sighed.
Isis was rely a one-night stand, and Tani was a matter of being outclassed. But both won had already flown away: one returned to Ji Weng to get married, and the other went to work at the Tower Alliance, both being independent events with little conflict with other storyline characters.
Upon reflection, it was because Dreya was too much of a bug. Damn it, without considering Scissors Legs, Liszt realized a harsh fact: he had no harem at all!
"I must have Agent Seventeen's help!"
Liszt was tearful, with both hands resting on Celeste's shoulders.
"So... gross..."
Celeste felt relieved that Liszt planned to head to Pedan next, confirming he wouldn't go to Aran for an audience, as she feared he'd fall into Soloren's trap.
As a mber of the Intelligence Bureau, Celeste was aware of a secret report. Soloren had suffered an extrely potent curse poison in the duel, and despite the Alan Royal Court's full efforts to save him, his life was sustained precariously, with death or permanent disability being uncertain.
Gedre's identity had also been uncovered, sent by Rodrigo the Eleventh, and the source of the curse poison seed related to the Gate of Truth.
But as a Black Mage organization opposed to the Tower Alliance, the eleven "Truth Keys" corresponded to the Tower Masters, it was needless to say whom the Witch King countered. They could even be said to be the strongest of the underworld's Four Heavenly Kings, beyond the Emperor's control.
However, Celeste did not inform Liszt. Although their political views differed from the Emperor's, he was still the Emperor's eldest son, and his last words carried significant weight. It was a sha, as the duel, destined for history, should have secured his place as the heir, but such is the fate of heroes.
"Hurry up! My friend at the Tower of Winterless is waiting to see you."
Nashano urged Liszt.
He was an old Aran noble, having indulged in everything, sunk deep into an abyss of desires, and done all sorts of drugs but still found no satisfaction. Now, only the Junlin Sword elated him, saving the world was exhilarating!
"I'm impressed by you, always rushing like a prostitute, rush rush rush."
Liszt's ears were starting to callous. Ever since eting this Tiger-man in Aisnor Province, he hadn't ceased causing trouble, "At the latest, we'll set off the day after tomorrow, okay."
Having given Nashano so reassurance, he finally stopped pacing.
Celeste twitched an eyebrow. To be honest, traveling to Pedan with these two felt quite disgusting...
anwhile...
Morison, Archer, and Magnus were wandering around Golden Palm Port searching for soone.
"This ti... we're truly screwed! We're all heading to hell!"
Morison couldn't hold back anymore.
Fafna.
She had run away!
She left behind a letter saying she had gone ahead to Pedan to start a great adventure and had registered as a new adventurer at the adventurer's guild, stating that she'd wait for Liszt at Pedan Capital, but by then he should address her as Lady Fafna, for she would beco the most powerful adventurer, the Hall-level of Hall-levels.
"Bah, the kid won't last long without money, she'll be back soon enough."
Archer's face was flushed from drinking, not taking it seriously at all.
Morison wore a tactical scowl. Although Old Man was a remarkable person, the timing was totally off. The Black Sail's assets weren't entirely theirs; it involved multiple alliances, with Lostra, Holy Spirit Church, and Beima as facilitators, all getting worked up.
Fafna...
Truly inherited the Will of Black Sail!
Now that Rashomon had been handled, with nothing more intense to do, she'd make her own critical moves! Those antics should be left untouched.
"We have no choice but to notify everyone imdiately."
Morison made the most sensible decision.
Garscek, as Black Sail's largest shareholder, couldn't be left to take the fall; the approach had to be one step at a ti.
"Now Caroso is still clueless, and the Holy Spirit Church's Holy Daughter might throw a fit."
Archer took another swig of wine.
Having ford a partnership with the Holy Spirit Church, Caroso previously insisted on sending Fafna to Lostra. Under Liszt's persuasion, the Madman agreed to the fostering plan.
The Holy Spirit Church had established a church at Heaven Port too. Even at the start of the year, several Holy Spirit Sect experts couldn't determine what kind of Dragon Fafna was specifically.
This ti, the Holy Spirit Church sent a heavyweight to not only cultivate relationships with Fafna but also, as agreed, brought fragnts of the Netherworld Stele for sharing.
This was truly becoming a Netherworld affair.
Very soon, the news reached Liszt at Master Bae's municipal office.
"Great news!"
Nashano rubbed his hands, extrely excited, akin to an early release of GTA6.
"Such high class, my, dear, release?"
Originally, Liszt planned to depart the day after tomorrow, but it had beco urgent to set off imdiately, damn it!
"Also, Caroso and the others have arrived and learned of the sudden news. The Holy Spirit Church's Holy Daughter wants to et with you imdiately."
Ang Shan, who ran errands, inford Liszt.
"Agent Seventeen, Madman, let's go!"
Liszt felt overwheld.
Even though the Holy Spirit Church was weaker than the Eternal Sect by one notch nowadays, it remained a colossal religion on the Western Continent, unlike Black Sail.
Sister Faf's rebellious phase was becoming too tough to handle.
