Lord of the Truth

The guards went and told the intelligence department about Robin's orders, then returned to the house of the fourth corpse and stood behind Robin silently.

As for Robin himself, he acted as if they did not exist...

He sat in that house for two hours, thinking about what had happened, the possible consequences, and how to prevent this in the future.

How to prevent this in the future... Another research road opened up, AGAIN!

Whenever Robin finishes long research seclusion and thinks he deserves an extended vacation, ten other urgent research roads arise for him that require his attention.

In the end, he sighed and ordered the body to be sent to the patriarch's office also with the other three...

He ordered them to tell the patriarch to send these corpses to the families they came from, that is if they had any... or to burn them if they were unknown.

He really didn't care about if they had families, they all wrote a letter and signed it that if they died without harm done to the body then they are the sole ones responsible for it... so even if they had families they wouldn't bother the Burtons

he even didn't care about their names... except that last guy who lost the two soul booklets, that one he must know his entire history...

After he arranged everything with the guards he went home... lowering his head, looking at the ground, arching his eyebrows all the way.

On that same day, guards, including a few knights, were sent to the conference hall and waited outside for a few hours..

when the new Rune Masters finished their first lecture and came out, the guards escorted them to their residences and took the two booklets from them, then brought them all back to Robin's guest house.

later on that day the initial investigation came out that those four said they were unaffiliated cultivators when they first came and refused to say in which family they were born

This was good and unfortunate news at the same time that they did not find families for the four dead...

It is good that there will be no problems at all, the other three can just be forgotten...

and it is unfortunate that now the investigation into who took the two booklets will take much longer than expected...

they can only have a painting of the dead man and search for him like a lost child, and even do so with secrecy to not raise questions.

When Robin found out, he didn't give the subject any more attention, there was no point in thinking about something endlessly, so he decided to forget about it temporarily and go back to his first plan...

The only thing that benefited him from the betrayal of the four is that he examined the tablets they swore on, and found that 4 more slots had been released, and this means that death does not damage the tablets, but rather makes it usable again, and this made Robin a little happier...

But now it's time to go to the next plan, and the plan is... Relax and train!

A year and six months have passed since Robin came back to Jura city, but since the first day, he has been in seclusion after seclusion none stop.

even in his cave, he was never this pressed in time and never exhausted himself to such a degree

he has only come out of his cramped room about three or four times, and the total time does not exceed an hour or two!

and now the matter of the two booklets came up which taken away a large part of his inner piece even if he doesn't want to admit it...

Stress and nervousness don't do any good, so Robin decided to take an extended break from any major research, and start preparing for actually a more important issue...

Raising the knighthood pillars!

Robin has already mastered the path of truth so he did not have any hope that a particular qualitative change will happen after he becomes a knight...

but surely the amount of time he will need to finish his research will decrease by a considerable margin, what could he ask for more than that?

And also... Raising the pillars from the path of truth was not an easy walk either, the three boys were able to get to the knighthood with relative ease because Robin discovered their way for them and wrote them the methods of building the pillars inside the huge law technique book and handed it to them on a plate of gold

As for him, he still has to find his own way down one of the most difficult paths in existence.

a month passed quickly...

Busy as ever, Zara is still teaching the 23 potential rune masters in the conference hall for a few hours straight every day...

Tired and weak... but at the same time, she was excited that she has finally found a group to share this life with, she finally found a few girls that can understand her struggles and discuss with them the difficulties they face while drawing the Runes.

Everyone who knew how old was she and what burdens on her little shoulders she was handling every day, would only have a reference for her in their heart

Although she is the youngest and weakest of them all, she has earned the respect of everyone with her knowledge and talent and her hard working attitude, and none of them treated her with arrogance, even the old knights called us with all the respect they deserve.

As for Robin, although he has been busy with the path of truth and has come a long way in it, he has time available and is not as pressured as before, so he has found himself a new habit of going out for walks with Mila every day, and their relationship has become much stronger because of it...

Today was also a day like any other, Robin finished his daily meditation on the Truth then took Mila for a walk around the city, then they went to visit his mother's grave, but the day did not come to an end at the same old pace...

"Robin, I finally found you!"

A voice came from behind Robin and Mila standing in front of a grave, when Robin turned and found Billy coming towards him smiling, "Oh, you have come at last from the new lands?"

When he reached them, he bowed towards his mother Robin's grave, and then looked at Robin again, "I just came a few minutes ago and since I came I have been looking for you, in the end, one of the guards told me that he saw you heading here... We need to have a little talk, the patriarch is waiting for us in his office."

Robin nodded, then looked at Mila, "I'm going now, do whatever you want but then obediently return to your husband's house."

"I will do as you say, my love," Mila replied with a smile, then hit Robin on the side of the head and left with a *humph*, not feeling good after being shooed away.

"Argh, I will tame this tigress with my own strength one day... I guess haha.. let's go in our way too..." Robin laughed loudly as he rubbed the spot then started moving toward the patriarch's office, dragging behind him Billy who was still amazed at the strange relationship of these two...

------------------

"Hi Uncle Brian, I haven't seen you in a while." Robin entered directly into the patriarch with Billy

"Haha, I'm busy and can't get out of this office and you don't come to ask about this old man's health, how can we see each other then?" The patriarch laughed

Robin chuckled, "It's not fair, I'm busier than you! haha, You seem to be in a good mood, at least there doesn't seem to be much trouble today... What do you want us to talk about then?"

"No problems, no problems at all haha, today is a beautiful day! We just want to talk a little about some things that would shape our lands for the coming period.. but before we start our talk, come take a look here." The Patriarch pointed towards a large chest next to his desk

Robin took a few steps towards the chest and began examining it, soon he found 30 tablets similar to those he used to make the oath tablets, and also found ordinary-looking swords about a meter long, but they all seemed to be stronger and sharper than what he sees with the guards every day... And one sword of them, in particular, seemed to be stronger than the rest in one way or another...

"This is..?" Robin muttered and reached out for that sword

"Hahaha, even not being a warrior yourself you still can identify quality when you see it, you are now holding the first medium-categorized weapon produced by our factories!!" The Patriarch laughed proudly
