Mixed Blessing System



After dealing with Utrary and ensuring that the leadership of that state would no longer be a problem for Leopoldine and the Ritter Motor Company's plans, Lothur returned to the Three Great Lakes Region.

In the meantime, he communicated with his women around Linn Province on Leopoldine's borders with Lenz and Ashen.

With everything settled regarding the enemies who had started the recent war against Leopoldine, Lothur called them back to the Three Great Lakes Region to prepare for their journey across the continent.

They would still pass through Peter's City to take care of a few things, but that wouldn't take long, and soon, they would embark on the most dangerous and decisive journey of their lives!

Before they left, they would take advantage of the temporary peace around them to rest a bit and enjoy each other's company.

...

A few days later...

Lothur and his women were still in the Three Great Lakes Region, taking a 'vacation' as they prepared to head north to Concordia.

But after a few days in this place, they had already talked about all their recent exploits but also had a lot of sex, from which they all benefited greatly.

Meanwhile, they took time out every day to train, something they hadn't done for a while since they started fleeing their enemies or preparing for war.

Amid this, they received daily reports on their forces, which were stabilizing after the recent opportunities for advancement provided by Lothur and the end of the war.

Lothur had already released the three Sages of the Jansen family to move around the state as they pleased, but at least one of them should keep an eye on the local situation to ensure the best for his family's interests.

On the other hand, the partner families of the Ritter Motor Company were stronger than ever, and now virtually all the powers associated with the Ritter family had Saints in their forces.

Leopoldine's own imperial family had strengthened and gained new allies within the state, opening the way for Lothur's company to grow smoothly throughout the empire.

Anyway, as the days went by, more and more positive information reached them, and they felt more and more ready to act again and strengthen themselves.

On the 8th day of their vacation, Daemon returned from his demon hunt with some of the beasts of that area.

...

Seeing his father in front of him, but also some of the strongest beasts of the area, Lothur continued to cut logs for the fireplace in his house in the forest area.

Daemon had recently advanced to the 4th stage after working for his son and was currently at level 20.

The beasts there couldn't benefit from Soul Bones, but with the resources Lothur had given some of them, more than 5 creatures of this area had also managed to reach the 4th stage and become Saints.

All of these recently advanced beasts were there with Daemon, several of them thanking Lothur for the opportunities he had given them.

"... Lothur, we'll do our best to keep an eye on Leopoldine. If demons appear here, we will act together with the local forces and take their bones to the Ritter family to decide who they will go to." A sizeable red-furred monkey, level 20, said while kneeling before Lothur.

After seeing Lothur waving to these creatures, Daemon, his silver hair and beard swaying in the wind, asked. "What are you going to do now? Hunting low-level demons or human enemies won't do you much good at your level. You'd have to slaughter many of them to get good results, but that would attract a lot of attention."

"Yes, I won't go after large groups of low-level beings. In fact, I only did it recently because it was a war, and I had a justification for doing so without attracting so much attention." Lothur said as he chopped wood with an axe.

It was common for those who were sent to war to die. He had found an excellent situation in Leopoldine before and had taken the opportunity to strengthen himself.

But Lothur had no interest in decimating cities and states to become stronger.

Then he continued. "In a few days, I'm going to stop by Peters City and give the people there some orders. The Ritter Motor Company is mature enough, and I want it to raise more funds to enter the neighboring states of the empire.

With the provincial families becoming my subordinates, even if I reduce my stake in this company, I'll still have control over it."

"Would you like to order a new auction? Sounds like a good idea. With more resources, your company will quickly leave Leopoldine and become a continental company." Daemon said, already aware that his son had plans to use this company to dominate the continent.

"After that, I'll head north. I have a friend waiting for me so we can hunt high-level demons. I'll take Anna, Victoria, Becca, and Elke with me and begin my crusade.

I won't stop until I've completed every one of their Spirit Bodies and my own as well." He said, showing the beasts and his father his goal.

Having expected Lothur to do such a thing, Daemon wasn't surprised. But he advised him.

"Be careful on your journey to Demon Island. I know you will go there sooner or later, but don't underestimate the demons. I know you have powerful abilities, and you may feel invincible. But there are special demons.

Remember, not all Emperor demons are the same. Some only carry out missions outside of their country. But some actually lead their forces.

The terror level of their abilities is completely different... Have you ever wondered why the demonic threat still exists even though there are powerful humans on the continent, even humans with full Spirit Bodies?" Daemon asked him seriously.

Lothur stopped what he was doing to look at his father, who knew more about demons than he did because of the years he had lived at Fabienne's side.

"I'll be careful." He said. "Thank you for your concern. But I know how terrible they can be. So much so that I do not intend to go to Demon Island until my women and I have added at least one more bone to each of our bodies."

"Good. That's good. But before you go, find your mother. Even though she and I aren't together anymore, she cares a lot about you, so you should go see her and help her." Daemon said. "She will also be able to help you with information, maps and much more. Fabienne is much more capable than her level alone would suggest."

Lothur heard this and kept it in his head.

Soon, he would say goodbye to his father and those beasts to join his women and return to Peter's City!
