Three days later.

Nashant City.

"There is no instant in sword training. Everything requires a process," Tobias said.

He maintained the pace of Theo's training so that the boy would not get tired while doing it. Like the training Tobias had done with his teacher, physical resistance is an important thing for a swordsman to survive long enough on the battlefield.

Tobias and Theo practised using the inn's backyard. Although Theo already had the black sword Tobias had given him, he still had not learned Tobias' Myurajin Moon technique.

"Why don't we practice the technique?" Theo asked.

"I could teach you, but you would get exhausted with every movement in the technique," Tobias replied, crossing his arms as he looked seriously at Theo.

The boy was still doing physical exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups, etc. Tobias doesn't hesitate to make Theo run around the backyard for a dozen laps.

Currently, Theo is jogging around the backyard. He continues to do it even though the boy starts br

    "Wait. Coming to Valestria? Don't you know how far the city is from here?" asked Tobias, surprised at Keira's statement. "I do, and I don't care. If it's something I can do to make friends, I'll do it!" said Keira. Tobias stepped softly near Giselle, whispering something into her left ear. The man thought something was wrong with Keira's head and asked her to leave the girl immediately. "You should not do that. You will get karma later," Giselle snapped. Giselle asked Keira to go home and talk to her parents first. They did not want Keira's trip to Valestria to cause new problems for Tobias and Giselle. "Go home and talk to your parents about this," Giselle said. Tobias looked at her like she was writing something down on paper. "If they allow you, come to this house, and you'll see us again," Giselle replied, smiling as she handed Keira a note with an address if she could go to Valestria. Keira was even more enthusiastic about going, especially when she had found a new purpose

    Tobias and Giselle walked outside the Viseryon house, waiting for Jake to arrive after delivering things to one of their brothels. Tobias still disagreed with Giselle's opinion. He could not possibly work in a place full of sin."Why don't we work somewhere else?" Tobias asked."Where? To whom? Do you have friends in this city?" asked Giselle."Didn't you come here with Father? You must know them, right?""I don't know either his name or where he lives. The most realistic thing for us is to accept Viseryon's offer," Giselle replied, dropping the conversation between her and Tobias."But working as an owner—"Tobias' words were interrupted by Giselle when the woman saw Jake arrive alone. She didn't greet him since she didn't know him very well.Jake stepped into the house, ignoring Tobias and Giselle. He met with Viseryon, where the white-haired old man immediately told Jake to go take Archibald's children to the brothel, located south of where the two would be working.The house door

    ***Tobias left the brothel with Marcela. He rode a horse with her behind him. Her body, which was previously only wearing a thin dress, was now completely covered by Tobias' coat.No one knew their destination, which gave Tobias and Marcela a sense of security. However, caution must still be in their hearts, especially Marcela. The pimp would not let her go so easily, especially after being paid only ten gold coins.Marcela saw Tobias' riding direction was indeed directed toward Valestria. It was not easy to work in the capital, especially as a prostitute. The dream of many prostitutes in other cities was to work in Valestria, and so was Marcela.The trip from Sarastrea to Valestria only took thirty minutes. Tobias and Marcela's eyes saw the city's southern gate, lined with merchants waiting to enter."What is your name, Lord?" asked Marcela."Tobias," Tobias replied briefly."All right. Is your office quite far away, Lord Tobias?" asked Marcela, being gentle as she had become one of

    "I have never heard the name before," the blonde-haired woman replied. To her, the Akihiko name was not popular in Equestria; perhaps no one would even name her that. Tobias' search for Akihiko's whereabouts would be difficult, including the possibility of Akihiko living in this world under a different name. "Who is Akihiko?" asked Giselle, who had never heard the name before. "I met her in a coma. Maybe she's living here, so I want to meet her," Tobias replied. "I'm not sure if she really exists or if it's just your imagination," said Giselle. "Forget about it. What's important is that I cannot accept your request," Tobias said, politely refusing the women's request. Although disappointed, they understood Tobias was going through puberty. Issues of love and loving were normal for them, as were the women of Giselle. The oldest of the seven Giselle women is Stephanie, aged 27, while the youngest is Marcela, 23. All seven women have felt love in their hearts but chose to keep it b

    "We don't know. We're just following orders from Lord Reich," said one of the criminals whose feet and hands were bound."There's no point in asking you," Tobias complained, looking to his left and seeing Giselle's women watching from their rooms.As Reich had said earlier, the traitor was one of those women. If Tobias could find her, this problem would not be any longer.Tobias did not say anything to them, preferring to wait for Giselle's arrival, who he believed could defeat Reich Gordon's army. Several people passing by on the main road suddenly turned their attention to the once-empty house, which now seemed full of people tied up in the front yard."What is this place?" asked one of the people, looking curious.The man walked over to the curious man. He explained the house to make them surprised."Brothel. We are not Gordon, but Heimer," Tobias replied."Heimer? Don't they rule over all the brothels in the east?" asked the townsman, a middle-aged man who appeared to be lifting a

    After a long argument with Giselle about giving the noble envoy to Mira, Giselle finally relented and gave Archibald's noble plate to Tobias. However, she advised Tobias not to give a title higher than Baron.Tobias understood for sure. He ran quickly from Giselle's brothel to the Valestrian Academy of Magic. The man kept Archibald's gold plate in his pocket, which he would use to raise Mira as Baron for the procession.Although she was the Baron of the Archibald, her position was no more than a businessman noble. The position of a noble envoy is below the four tiers of nobility, but its status is higher than commoners.It didn't take long for Tobias to arrive at the Valestrian Academy of Magic. The academy guards no longer guided the man, as Tobias already knew the location of Orion's office.After about thirty minutes of waiting in Orion's office, the knock on the door was heard again. Orion told the person behind the door to come in.It was Tobias, arriving sweaty and clutching Arc

    The conversation between Tobias and Giselle was overheard by a man. He sat in the lobby waiting for his turn due to Giselle's brothel's reservation system.He looked at the two who happened to be talking in front of him. Tobias and Giselle seemed to discuss school preparations for Keira, Theo, and Mira."Sorry, I was listening to your conversation," the man replied.The man stood up, wearing a gray-black shirt that matched his body. Tobias's eyes were distracted, looking at the stranger beside him."I heard you were rejected to join the Valestrian Military Academy? Am I right?" the man asked.Tobias nodded. He glanced slowly at Giselle to confirm the man's identity before him, but the man preferred to introduce himself."My name is Dean Lithor. I am the commander of Mordor's noble family guard," replied the man named Dean."I'm Tobias," Tobias said briefly.Dean lightly patted Tobias' right shoulder with a smile, "I have a solution to your problem, Lord Tobias.""You just need to appl

    *** The next day "It seems like the head of the district gave the news too much credit." That's what Tobias said to Giselle when he realized the brothel's visitors on the second day were getting bigger. Because of the reservation system, people who had just arrived and wanted to get laid would not make it. He had to sign up at least in the morning or the day before. Giselle kept a record of the people who reserved the prostitutes for the next day, as all six were full for today. Although the gold coins spent were higher than Gordon's or the brothels in the eastern area, those rich people did not hesitate to spend it to feel those beautiful women. The woman turned to Tobias, standing near his desk, "Would you mind traveling around again? Find the best women and buy them off." She handed Tobias a gold coin bag totaling one hundred gold coins, and the man accepted without arguing. Since he had nothing else to do, he thought Giselle's offer was not bad. "Alright. Maybe I will bring

    Chapter 255. The Everlasting Promises

    Tobias looked faintly behind him, seeing thousands of human troops trying to chase Renna, who flew quickly to the east, back to the border area between the Forbidden Territory and the Human Territory.Tobias' right hand could be seen tightly grasped by Renna's left hand, while Aurora could be seen carried by the right. The two people left the place at high speed."I did exactly what you wanted. What's next?" asked Renna, curious.Renna continued flying with the help of her two black wings. Directed forward with the condition that she had left the troops of mankind.While flying freely, Renna occasionally glanced back, trying to ascertain Tobias' next plan.However, Tobias did not show any response, still silent, with both eyes directed forward to the rocky mountains rather than Renna's sights.As Renna flew over the rocky mountains, the lush green countryside with trees was clearly visible in Tobias' eyes. It indicated that Tobias was now in human territory."Where are you taking me,

    Aerith did not hesitate to attack Tobias with all the power she had, with the mana capacity the woman had not so much anymore, the impact of the previous use of the palace's protective magic."Akihiko! Listen to me," Tobias insisted, asking Aerith to talk to him."You killed my husband! I won't forgive you," Aerith cried.With two magic circles appearing in front of Aerith's palms, dark black magic balls with a reddish-black color rushed towards Tobias' body.Tobias was able to deflect them easily, using his katana sword as if he was playing a game of baseball with Aerith. The magic balls flew in random directions, then exploded with a significant blast.Aurora looked terrified, taking cover behind Aerith's back with both Aurora's eyes closed. Tobias occasionally looked at Aurora, the little girl shouldn't be in a place like this."You shouldn't let Aurora see this fight," Tobias pleaded.Aerith stopped her attack on Tobias, looked back and saw Aurora who was trembling in fear with bo

    "So, you want to get in my way?" asked Tobias, pointing his sword forward."No one is allowed to come near our King and Queen!" groaned one of the werewolves.It leapt powerfully forward, both hands and feet full of claws. Tobias parried each of the werewolf's claws with his katana, the monster's attacks were powerful enough, but not enough to defeat Tobias.Not only by itself, but the werewolf seemed to be assisted by several people, two representatives of the superior races in the Mythological Kingdom. A centaur walked over with his right hand pulling out a large sword, swinging at Tobias' head.Tobias was pushed back, the blade of his katana was blocking the attack of the monster's claws before him, so he had nothing to do but put his faith in the golden armor he wore. Tobias spun around, seemingly turning his back to the werewolf without changing the grip of the sword in his right hand. Tobias' left hand stretched out to the side, blocking the centaur's sword strike with the fing

    Chapter 252. Battle Inside The Palace

    Tobias was still seated on his horse, focusing both eyes forward to the Mythology Kingdom palace where Aerith and the other officials were taking refuge.Liam was now near Tobias, focusing equally on the palace. Liam's eyes narrowed, never before had he seen people from different races in the Forbidden Territory come together to fight humanity."Are we going to fight them all?" Liam asked."If we don't want the chain of hatred between the two sides to grow again, then we must fight them," Tobias said firmly.He dismounted, stepping closer to the palace gates that seemed to be protected by something. The people inside the palace were on alert, especially after seeing the man in golden armor walking closer.Tobias' hand stretched forward, trying to touch the magic barrier. Just as his fingers made contact, a spark of electricity and fire was created that startled Tobias.Tobias' eyes squinted hard, seeing the white smoke from his finger's contact with the magic wall."Are you okay?" ask

    Chapter 251. Northern Gate Assault

    Hearing Tobias' impassioned cry made all the soldiers flare up with excitement. They shouted loudly, raising their swords, bows and spears in the hope that the war would end in this battle.Gunnar led the troops that would attack at the center gate. Their main goal was not to penetrate that place, but rather to distract the Mythology Kingdom's troops from the north gate.Just as Edgar led the troops to attack the southern gate. In this battle, three armies of humanity will besiege the capital from three entry points: north, center, and south.Gunnar led the army with Adrian and Karin, while Edgar was alone with Laura. However, Tobias had asked Laura to use her illusion magic. He wanted the mythology troops to know that Tobias was in the troops attacking the southern gate.The focus of the Mythology Kingdom troops will be on Tobias, because only he can determine the course of this war. If Laura managed to display Tobias' projection at the southern gate, then it was certain that the Myt

    Seeing that the banyan tree territory was completely controlled by the dwarves made Tobias' heart happy. The dwarves shouted with joy, some cried with emotion while hugging each other.One of the lead dwarves walked up to Tobias. He raised a hat similar to a magic cone and lowered it while bowing his head.Not only did he do this, but the other dwarves did the same. They paid their highest respects to Tobias, who was a human, in his attempt to reclaim the sacred place for them."Thank you, Mr. Tobias. We dwarves will always be indebted to humans," the dwarf replied.Tobias, who was still sitting upright on his mount, dismounted, stepped up to the dwarf and reached forward, asking both parties to shake hands."Welcome to your true home. Keep your promise not to participate in this war," Tobias said.The dwarf cast both eyes downward, looking at Tobias' right hand that was pointed forward. The dwarf in front of Tobias smiled widely with a nod of his head, shaking Tobias with both hands.

    Chapter 249. Battle under Tree

    In the end, Tobias agreed with the dwarves on a plan of attack. However, the dwarves wanted to give a special condition. They wanted when the attack on the Mythological Kingdom Capital happened, he wanted all the dwarves to have left their city.In short, they wanted Tobias to liberate the promised area immediately. Once the area was free of wild elves, then Tobias could freely attack the capital.Gunnar, who happened to still be beside Tobias, spontaneously asked about the requirement. Tobias turned his face to the side, staring intently at the man."We'll carry out the terms well," Tobias said."But with whom? It will take about half a day to mobilize the troops there," Gunnar replied.Tobias shook his head as his eyes star

    Chapter 248. Negotiate with Dwarves

    Tobias' head kept moving to the right and left, seeing how many Mythology troops were guarding the gate of the capital connected to the city of the dwarves.Not so much; there were probably only about 1000 people, in contrast to the gate in the center where there were probably about 5000 to 10,000 mythological troop soldiers.Liam and Gunnar did the same, looking around the surrounding area as Tobias had done. However, they were not paying attention to the soldiers above the gate but to the dwarves in that place."If the dwarves fight too, then we'll have a hard time," Liam replied softly."You're right. The dwarves are good at using magic. Their abilities are almost comparable to the elves," Renna added, turning her head to the side to look at Tobias.
