Mixed Blessing System



The Emperor's biggest concern about the Blood Crystal was Daemon getting his hands on a Platinum-grade weapon that would basically put him at the top of the empire.

But without that weapon, Daemon would still have to hide around places like this, and Leopoldine's stability would be guaranteed.

He would still prefer to have the Blood Crystal in his possession, but this item had already been used to form an extremely powerful weapon, and he could not take it from Lothur.

The emperor could only laugh at the situation and feel some relief.

Lothur, at least, was on the run, trying to escape the Seraphim Church, so he would not be staying in Leopoldine to bring chaos here.

As the emperor laughed, Daemon had an ugly expression on his face, having been hindered by his son at the last moment.

But with his fight against his father having been stopped, it didn't take him long to gather with his people and leave that place, fleeing.

As they did so without being pursued, he heard from one of his subordinates. "Chief, Lothur is now a Celestial Saint."

"What?" Daemon looked at that master of formations.

"It seems he has accepted his nature and is rapidly becoming stronger..." One of the men close to Daemon commented.

"The encounter with Fabienne must have been quite revealing for him..."

'So that's it...' Daemon sighed, understanding that he had no chance of stopping Lothur now. 'But what is he up to?'

...

By the next day, the Emperor of Leopoldine was back in his capital city.

With the teleportation formations around his empire, it had been easy for him to return to his home.

Upon reaching this place, he immediately received more news about the Ritter Motor Company, which at the moment was expanding its operations throughout the empire.

Hundreds of thousands of people were about to be hired by this company around the empire, something quite shocking.

"So they're going to use those coins to expand their operations..." Lothur's old grandfather commented to his assistant right after hearing all that Lothur's women were doing. "That's good. I don't see a problem with these cars driving around my empire.

I have heard that they are more efficient than wagons and chariots, so perhaps we can improve the performance of our state as a whole with this enterprise."

"Your Majesty is not concerned about the size of this company?" His secretary asked, narrowing her eyes. "There are foreign powers in the Ritter Motor Company."

"No." He smiled, but he wouldn't tell anyone other than those who already knew that Lothur was in the empire and now had a Platinum-grade weapon.

He had probably planned that whole auction days ago and left mechanisms for Viktoria and the others to keep control of the Ritter Motor Company.

As long as Lothur was in charge of that company, the emperor would not be worried about outside powers within the largest company in his state.

"The Ritter Motor Company could revolutionize our state in no time." The emperor muttered, thinking of Lothur's company's recently launched agricultural machines.

Several vehicles specially designed for working in the fields and even mining were already being sold in Peters Ctiy's store. With the expansion already started by Viktoria, more units of these special vehicles could soon be delivered to change agriculture and mining in the state.

This could generate more wealth and power for the empire!

"So don't hinder the operations of this company. It must be protected." The emperor commented before leaving that woman behind.

...

Meanwhile, on Leopoldine's border with Lenz...

At this instant, Lothur was flying through the vacuum of space, quickly moving toward the north.

However, not having the same possibilities as the emperor, such as teleportation formations, the young Ritter was still traveling through Leopoldine.

Fortunately, the border of that state with Lenz was just ahead of him, where he could already see several observers on both sides of the border.

Some of them were from the families behind these two states, powers interested in maintaining border control. But Lothur soon identified several men from the Seraphim Church over there.

'They are still watching the area to be prepared in case one of us returns...' He remembered what he had heard from his women about the disappearance of two other participants from the Secret Realm of Linn Province.

Thinking about this, he remembered his mother, who was supposed to be behind these disappearances.

'When I become stronger and learn a little more about the situation on the continent, I will activate my bloodline ability to indicate to her that I am no longer in the Imperial Prison. That will make her stop what she is doing.' Lothur made up his mind.

He had no feelings for Daemon and Fabienne because they were the parents of his predecessor. However, this demon Emperor had helped him significantly, and he had a lot of gratitude for her.

Lothur knew she was probably taking great risks moving those two young people across the continent, so he didn't intend to leave her in the dark forever.

He couldn't activate his bloodline ability for now since he didn't know what the situation on this continent looked like, much less the full powers of the Seraphim Church and other powers that might target him.

The Church was the one who was effectively pursuing him, but perhaps more powers, perhaps even stronger than the Church, were keeping an eye on this organization's pursuits!

Lothur would not immediately signal his position to his mother to avoid dying prematurely.

With this in mind, he crossed the border between those two states, having no difficulty in leaving Leopoldine.

As much as there were observers on both sides of that border, none of them had Saints watching the area. So he merely watched them for a moment and then entered Lenz, the homeland of Mabel, a powerful state neighboring Leopoldine.

Lenz was a bit stronger than Leopoldine to anyone looking at both states from afar. But due to the existence of stronger powers lurking in the shadows of Lothur's home state, both states had similar strengths.

In Lenz, powers with Saints in their leadership effectively ruled the state in daylight, but most of the local organizations had powers similar to those in Leopoldine.

Knowing this, Lothur flew on through this state with no intention of stopping to investigate or learn about the area. He was not a tourist, and hardly anyone in the kingdom could stop him from continuing his way.

His goal was the former Grapia Kingdom, a state that no longer existed but that the Koch family had managed to locate where this area was.

It was further north, where Rablus was today, where coincidentally, the Tyrannosaurus Rex projection had told him to look for the clues left by the demonic leaders!
