Chapter 436: 434

Chapter 434: Heading Out

“The Seraph Kingdom’s war for the throne?” Hearing that phrase come out of Aurus’s mouth, all four could not help but raise their eyebrows in response. After all, it wasn’t often would they hear something like this, even more so that they’ve lived for a very long time already.

Then again, the main reason why all of them had their eyebrows raised was due to the fact that all four of them had been keeping tabs on this specific piece of news, wondering how it would eventually turn out. After all, the outcome of something like that would shift in a massive power balance, which might affect the state of their inheritances. However, as they’re not affiliated with any of the kingdoms, they did not have to care about it that much.

Though that did not mean they had no interest in the matter.

Nevertheless, the four of them could not help but think of Aurus’s plan from a different perspective. After all, to incorporate such a massive event into something like that would only be done by people with high confidence and belief that they would be able to pull it off.

As for Aurus, he could not help but think twice as to whether it would be fine to add this part into his plan as he did not have that much information on it. Then again, with the information network he had formed back then updating him news of where the actual Aurus was every minute, there was bound to be some times where it was at a lull, so he asked them to bring back information regarding important news related to the Seraph Kingdom.

Among the pieces of news he had received from the network was related to the war for the throne. Though, once he received them, he could not help but feel like there was something missing, as if a part of it was shrouded. However, what he did not realize was that he had actually obtained far more information than any layperson would in the kingdom, even more so when compared to organizations that normally collated information regarding things like these.

Of course, he would only realize this in the future, but that’s for another time.

Turning silent for a bit as he mulled over the thought, a sudden train of thought appeared in Aurus’s mind that seemed to connect very well with what he had to say, eventually telling the others, “Indeed, I’ll be using the opportunity given by the Seraph Kingdom’s war for the throne to obtain some of the priceless resources that I and the other two would need along the way. Though, you might be wondering, how would we be able to join the war for the throne in the first place?”

Taking in a deep breath, he continued, “What we’ll do is join the most prestigious academy in Seraph Kingdom, the Thymesis Institute for Combat and Magic Arts. Of course, we can’t head there straight away, so we’d have to enter a city-level academy first, then head up to a provincial-level academy. Only with that kind of background would we be able to that academy.”

“In any case, once everything goes well and the plan related to the war for the throne succeeds, we’ll basically be hitting two birds with one stone. On one hand, I would be able to obtain precious resources that would normally takes months or even years to find, and on the other, I would be able to have the backing of a prince behind me, allowing me to expand the town without much problems. If I get lucky, the prince that’s backing me might even become a king, allowing the town to expand even further and perhaps even reach the size of a province.”

“Then again, I’ve heard rumors that there’s a chance of death once one joins the war for the throne, so only I would actually join the war for the throne. As for Horell and Herellia, they would only accompany me up to the part where we join the top academy,” he concluded.

After Aurus was finished talking, the four could not help but become silent. They were silent because according to what Aurus had told them, there were pieces of news that they hadn’t even obtained before!

Letting out a light sigh, Felix could not help but ask him, “How is the most prestigious academy of the Seraph Kingdom related to the war for the throne? What was it again? The Time something…”

“The Thymesis Institute for Combat and Magic Arts,” Aurus clarified. “According to the information I’ve collated in my spare time back then, a few of the princes participating in the war for the throne are planning to have some of the top performing students join their teams in preparation for the war for the throne.”

He then added, “However, as there’s still a little bit over half a year until the war for the throne actually starts, they’re only waiting for the approval of the king of the Seraph Kingdom, which told that they would be able to grab students from that academy around one to two months before it actually begins.”

“I see…” was all that Felix could muster out. As for the remaining three, they could not even say anything at all. At most, the information they had regarding the war for the throne only extended to the fact that it would happen in about half a year from now. Then again, as inheritance owners, it wasn’t a surprise that they only needed that much information.

Eventually, the four of them came to the conclusion that they wouldn’t be able to help out Aurus in this plan of his, deciding to change the topic as Rosalia said, “Well, we don’t see any problem with that plan of yours… however, after the war for the throne, what will you do?”

“At that point in time, I would have probably become a Super Animate, so I would probably take a short break from becoming stronger and use that break time to help Verdant Breeze Town expand to Verdant Breeze City,” Aurus replied, only to recall something else as he told them, “Ah, right. I almost forgot that I’m planning to build an academy for the town to make them more knowledgeable. Well, it’s also preparation for the expansion of the town, but that’s not important.”

“What’s important are the instructors in the academy,” he continued. “If I remember correctly, I asked Felix and Eleanor to find some mages that would be willing to teach in the academy.”

Focusing his attention onto Helios and Rosalia, he then told him, “If it’s possible, I would like you two to find combat instructors, scholars, as well as skilled workers that would be able to teach in the academy. With that, there would be four divisions in the academy: a magic division, a combat division, a literature division, and a skilled craft division.”

“I think I can find you some skilled workers willing to teach,” Helios said in response after a bit of silence.

“I can find some willing scholars. Just give me a bit of time.” Soon after, Rosalia responded to Aurus’s request.

“Well, you only asked Felix to find some mages. With that, let me be the one to find combat instructors for the academy,” Eleanor said not long after, prompting Aurus to nod as he said, “It would be great if they would also be willing to teach the military a thing or two.”

“You got it!” Eleanor replied, letting out a light chuckle as she said to herself, “Off to an adventure I go!”

Hearing those words could not help but make Aurus and the other three shudder for some reason. However, after discussing a few more things, the meeting between the five of them was finished as they talked about a lot of things related not only to the town’s improvement, but Aurus’s own improvement as well.

Standing up to look out of the window, he noticed that a couple of hours had passed since he started talking with the four. After that, he stretched his body for a bit as he went outside the manor, heading to where Herellia and Horell were. “It’s time for me to proceed with the very first step of the plan.”

With the assistance of his movement speed boosting spells and skills, it did not take that long for him to arrive at where they were, which was the same place they were at before Aurus left to head to the Origin Pantheon.

Seeing Aurus appear in front of them once more, the two could not help but look at him as Horell asked, “So, how did it go?”

“It went well, I think,” Aurus replied, scratching his head as he chuckled. “I also talked to the four before coming here.”

“Well, that sounds nice,” Herellia said with a nod. “So, what’s the great town leader doing here? Is he that bored to leave the manor and converse with us?”

“Naturally, there’s that part, but I’m here to ask you something,” Aurus said in response, soon asking them, “Would you like to accompany me on a journey just like the old times?”

“Oh?” Hearing that they were going to head out of town, the two of them could not help but raise their eyebrows in interest. Noticing this, Aurus continued, “The goal of this journey is for us to gain enough combat experience, as well as push myself to the peak of Grand-grade in order for me to transition into an Animate.”

He then looked at Horell before continuing with a light smile, “Of course, we’re also going to make Horell reach the peak of Grand-grade as well.”

“So, how about it? Would you like to join me?”

For a moment, Horell and Herellia looked at each other in silence, then at Aurus. Just as Aurus thought that he was going to have to this solo, a grin appeared on both of their faces as they replied in unison.

“Have you ever thought of us saying no to that?”

Chuckling at their words, he replied with full sincerity, “Not even one bit.”
