I'm the King Of Technology

'Mommy'

(;>∆<;)

And so Penelope's brothers and their friends all faced the Devil head-on as if they were preparing for battle.

The days within the barracks were never boring for them no matter the weather.

Every week was filled with laughter, sorrow, success, failure and even some crazy stories about their instructors.

All in all, their family's plans to change their character seemed to be paying off as planned.

The 3 brothers wanted to go for a mission so bad, as they had heard of how glorious Baymardian missions were.

For sure, they knew that they could only be dispatched for Caronian missions..... As the Caronian empire would sometimes send the Caronian soldiers here in Baymard to go out and do one of two jobs for them.

This was to allow them to put their skills and knowledge to the task... Because the only way for them to advance was for them to have real-life experiences.

The 3 brothers really wanted to test out their skills and see how much they had improved physically, as well as mentally.

Because even something as simple as surviving in the wild was something that they wanted to do.

Sure!

Back then, they had stated out and called overnight most times.

Typically, they and their men had brought over food and other rations to and their journey.

So what would they do if they had to survive for 15 days with no civilization in sight or people?

What if they were thrown into the heart of the jungle and left there at the mercy of several ferocious beasts?

Here in Baymard, they had even learnt how to weave grass sandals and even knew what mushrooms could make one hallucinate.

In short, when they heard that some Baymardian soldiers had fought hand to hand with Hangols and had even broken their limbs... They couldn't help but want to see how strong they were too, although they wouldn't dare to start with such erroneous beasts like Hangols.

Most importantly, they wanted to prove their worth to their family.

With how disappointing their past behaviour was, they really wanted to wash their reputations white and become outstanding royals that would aid Carona in the future.

So they desperately wanted to go on missions and better themselves.

But they hadn't made up to 6 months in Baymard.

Hence they didn't even qualify to take up level 1 missions.

Nonetheless, they weren't too worried about that because after a month and a half... they would finally qualify for these missions.

And so just like that, the brothers spent their days striving to better themselves one step at a time.

Of course, they weren't the only ones who felt joy when it came to missions.

.

Currently, Beri was yet again out on another mission to Carona.

And what was his mission?

Well, this time, it involved the Church!

That's right!

It was mainly about charity.

Even though Carona's overall situation had improved, there were still places that hadn't fully enjoyed any benefits.

Sometimes, these places would be plagued with cults, evil gangs and even corrupt lords that would extort all that they made.

Change would definitely come to all parts of Carona, but that sometimes required Time.

For sure, one could see tiny traces of Baymard's influence in these places, but it wasn't as massive as some other regions.

Anyway, Baymard had been helping out to exterminate all routes of poverty and suffering within these places.

As for why they couldn't extend their charity to other empires, that was all for the safety of their men.

On the surface, even though Baymard and Terique seemed to be at peace... The moment these Baymardians landed on the shores of Terique, wouldn't several people attempt to give them trouble?

Even if they could handle it, all that was just added stress for nothing.

And when one looked at the other memories, they too weren't all that safe, as they would try to rob them a hundred times over.

Worse, who knew if they would be killed instead?

In Carona, even the robbers dared not mess with Baymardians.

That was how much respect they had for the place.

And so until all treaties were officially announced and peace was restored, then and only then would he send his men to such risky places.

'Gallop! Gallop! Gallop! Gallop!'

He, alongside 2 priests and at least 300 soldiers, all travelled along a specific route on the Caronian map.

They planned to travel through at least 15 villages and towns all in the same direction, before making a U-turn back to their ship.

Their wagons were filled with bags of money, clothes and other items that the Baymardians had donated in and out of the church.

The people in Baynard were actually very well-to-do, so they felt the need to spread their blessings and influence to those who didn't have anything at all.

After listening to the 'Gospel', they found it truly a waste to hoard stuff.

If their 3-year-old children were now 7 years old, why did they still need to keep all those clothes when someone else might be in dire need of them?

Charity, be it monetary or not, was now a way of life as well.

.

'Gallop! Gallop! Gallop! Gallop!'

'Creek! Creek!'

The sounds of horse hooves and wagon wheels thrusting into the ground could be heard amidst the chatter of the men.

They rode for a bit, before finally seeing some of their scouts make their way back to them.

Beri, who had just passed his military examinations and moved up a rank... Calmly stopped his horse and waited for the scouts to approach him.

"Major Beri, there are no major problems along the route to Fah village."

"Hmm... And what about bandits?"

"We asked some of the travellers about that, and they spoke about the Pure Evil Cult, which has it's base about 7 villages from here."

"Good job, we'll do what we have to do and advance steadily... Before finally taking care of that cult.

Everyone, don't forget our objectives... Especially the second objective.

Make sure to more down what you see and report back to me immediately!

Is that understood?"

"Yes, major Beri!"

"Excellent!

Since everyone knows their duties, then do your jobs well.

Now, let's continue on."

And with that, they were off!
