Chapter 18 Arrangements Before Departure

The next day, early morning.

As dawn broke, a hazy white light shone through the window onto the four-meter-long bed.

Lister got out of bed naked, scratched his six-pack abs, and then stretched.

"Ah~~~"

"I had so much fun last night."

"Ugh?"

He suddenly saw three people sleeping next to him.

Why is there an extra one?

Oh, right, after Lena took him to the bathhouse, she came to the bedroom with him.

"Dong dong dong."

"My lord, it's time to get up."

Everyone in the room woke up at the sound of the knock.

Captain Reina, dog-eared maid Betty, and cat-eared maid Prie all crawled out of bed.

Betty and Prie first brought out Lister's noble clothes, and then helped Lister get dressed.

Lister cooperated skillfully; it was clear he was used to this kind of service.

What he liked most about nobles was their ability to legally and legitimately enjoy privileges.

Lister looked at his handsome self in the mirror and let the two maids groom him until every strand of hair and every inch of his clothes was straightened.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Betty and Priscilla smiled and began to put on their maid outfits, while Reina on the other side had already put on her leather armor.

"Lena, go to town and ask Morag to come over. Also, tell Cortini to come early and we'll meet at the training ground in the castle."

"Yes."

Lena left the room and headed towards the stables.

As for Liszt, he went into his office after tidying himself up.

Of course, the glass window behind his seat hadn't been repaired yet.

"Nadia, Elsa, good morning."

Good morning, Master.

The rabbit-eared maid Nadia and the fox-eared maid Elsa, who had already prepared breakfast, stood on either side of the desk.

When Lister sat down, Nadia took the initiative to massage the acupoints on Lister's head, while Elsa forked a small piece of sandwich and fed it to Lister's mouth.

hmm~

The temperature is just right.

What more could a man ask for than to be served by his beloved beast-eared maids every morning?

Lister picked up the hot milk and took a sip.

"Nadia, Elsa, go and call Betty and Prie, come with me to the training ground."

"Yes."x2

After breakfast, Lister prepared the materials he needed and then went to the training ground with four maids.

The training ground inside the castle was very large, but because Lister usually practiced in the Red Maple Forest, only the five members of the Royal Guard used the training ground.

When Lister arrived at the training ground, Lena, Cortini, and Morag had already ridden over.

Baron Red Maple, the Knight Commander, the Half-Elf Steward, four Half-Orc Maids, and five Royal Guards soldiers—a total of twelve people—gathered here.

"Today I want to talk about a mysterious power that can be cultivated by the people of Red Maple Territory."

Everyone was surprised but not unexpected.

Morag asked, "Do those two lords from another world have any requests? Is there a price to pay for cultivating their mysterious powers?"

Lister shook his head.

"There won't be any problems, you can rest assured."

"Morag, come on, let's spar with real swords."

Morag hesitated for a moment, then stood facing Lister, sword in hand.

"Sir, be careful."

"Morag".

Lister held his two-handed sword horizontally across his chest with one hand.

"You have to go all out this time so you don't lose badly."

The middle-aged, black-haired, tough man with a scar on the corner of his mouth gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

He had once instructed Liszt in swordsmanship, and had never lost a sparring match with him, but he did not believe that Liszt would boast.

Perhaps Liszt underwent a dramatic transformation after practicing for less than half a day?

The others watched from a distance, especially the members of the guard led by Lena. Once they had the opportunity to learn the mysterious power, they would definitely try to master it.

"Watch out! I'm using spiritual power now!"

Lister was radiating golden light, his spiritual energy emanating outwards and manifesting as spiritual pressure.

Golden spiritual pressure enveloped him like flames before spreading outwards.

Morag instinctively gripped the hilt of his sword, cold sweat breaking out on his back. Cortini, Rena, and the others standing some distance away were also somewhat affected.

"This is spiritual pressure, which can directly exert pressure on the soul. You can think of it as the blood evil within blood energy."

“A strong enough spiritual pressure can cause someone to faint and die.”

Looking at Liszt at this moment, Morag had the illusion of looking directly at a god.

No, Lord Lister is already the only god in this territory.

Morag's joy was palpable, and sweat beaded between his fingers.

"My lord! Please use your full strength!"

The next moment, the two charged forward simultaneously.

"clang!"

As their swords clashed, Morag, who usually had an easy advantage in a contest of strength, found himself struggling, and his knees gradually buckled.

Even though he had used all his magic power, and his strength had almost doubled due to the magic amplification, he still couldn't compare to Lord Lister.

It seems that the mysterious power called "spiritual power" may be able to rival "holy light".

"Morag, you've let your guard down."

As soon as he finished speaking, Morag saw a golden light emerge from Lister's sword blade.

Sword strike!

The golden crescent blasted Morag to the ground.

After regaining consciousness, Morag looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The gap is too big.

Just then, a hand reached out, and Morag grabbed it and was pulled up.

The moment he stood up, a green light enveloped the abrasions on his body, quickly healing all his injuries.

"I'll demonstrate next."

Lister smiled and demonstrated Kido and the Spirit Bow to everyone. Then, he converted his chakra and demonstrated ninjutsu and the fighting style of ninjas.

Both forces have been widely used.

There are four methods for cultivating spiritual power: swordsmanship, hand-to-hand combat, instant step, and demonic arts. There is also the spirit bow of the Quincy.

Chakra training includes taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu.

The former can nourish the soul and repair hidden injuries in the body, while the latter allows for faster cultivation, but excessive cultivation that depletes cells will shorten lifespan.

"I have already explained the characteristics of spiritual power and chakra."

"First of all, I have a special physique that allows me to switch between two powers, but you can only choose one."

"Tell me your choices, and I will guide you in your cultivation."

Without hesitation, Morag expressed his intention to learn spiritual power. So Lister took his hand and sent the seed of spiritual power he had created into his body.

In this world, cultivating mystical powers requires specific items or energy guidance, and the same applies to Morag and his companions' desire to cultivate spiritual power or chakra.

"correct."

Lister looked at Cortini and gave her some instructions.

"Cortini, find a few loyal subjects to learn chakra."

"Earth Release ninjutsu is very suitable for building roads and houses. First, select the candidates, and I will guide them after I have personally inspected them."

Kotini nodded in agreement.

"There's one more thing: prepare the horses and luggage."

"I want to go back."

Those present were immediately taken aback.

Kotini instinctively tried to dissuade her.

"No! We haven't even figured out the identities of those assassins yet!"

Lister rolled his eyes at her.

"Don't make such a fuss."
