Merlin got information about the events transpiring within the kingdom of Ptolemy easily. He didn’t even have to place too much of an effort into this. He and Sylvie went into a nearby village, the nearest they can find that hasn’t been evacuated yet.The declaration of war as well as the state of the former Genesis city made it so that everyone living in villages near it evacuated to the cities. As such, it is a far way from this point that the next village is located. This also means another thing. That, the things transpiring within the kingdoms reach the ears of these villagers easier. All thanks to two things. The soldiers sent to guard these places and, the merchants that come back from the kingdoms as well.Both of these are tattletales that cannot hold their stories. The juicier the story, the easier it is for them to slip their tongue. Though Merlin and Sylvie didn’t rely on this at all. They went there in the guise of being merchants. Bringing fruits that are harvested from

“My lord, how did things go?” Dirth asked. He’s the only one who met up with the demon lord. Everyone else is away and busy with something else. A task left to them by Merlin of course. That’s why he’s welcomed by the goblin shaman. With this creature are three kobolds who have with them a couple of items that would’ve been useful if Merlin returned to the dungeon sustaining heavy damage.Thankfully, none of these are required because Merlin returned in top shape.

Everyone sat on a piece of ruin within the arena. It’s clear as day that all of them are annoyed about what just happened. Anyone would be if they lose to the same person over and over without any sign of getting close to victory at all. That’s the effect that Octavia has on them and, that’s why they all share the same brooding look. As if thinking how they’d win the next time around.Meanwhile, Octavia sat at the far end where everyone else are. She gazed at the fake sky created by Merlin’s skill. A cloudy one that didn’t allow a single ray of sunshine to penetrate through.“I’d say that all of you did well in the training but, that would be lying on my part.” Merlin began as he got close to his allies.“Right off the bat huh.” Sylvie said as she laid back on a piece of concrete. “Shouldn’t you have buttered us up with affirmations before moving on to something like that?”“That won’t do any of us any good.” Amused, Merlin said. “Anyway, you guys don’t have to worry about the next pa
