"I have no experience, but maybe boys will grow up if they are left to their own devices."

"Maybe."

The two beauties representing the West laughed. Senna leaned on Klein, while Zane slept on Eleanor's lap. Reed hugged Zane's chest tightly and fell asleep peacefully.

“Looks really exhausted.”

Ye Kai stretched his body and stood in the Purple rest area next to him, observing the situation.

“Isn’t that too harsh?”

"Cham is very gentle. She is much gentler than Master Klein's master."

“That woman…uh…”

Klein thought of his mother Nicole, but was speechless.

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

They continued westward from Suametzen, sending condolences to the border guards stationed on the main roads. Although some might question why there was a need for vigilance due to the Kingdom of Phrygia's alliance with this place, the border guards here were similar to the old border, more like a place to provide various assistance to those who came and went. Nevertheless, suspicious people such as thieves would still be stopped and questioned.

Then, continue driving the carriage along the border line slightly to the north. The afforestation in this area is the responsibility of the Border Guard. Although it is not yet completed, once it grows up, it will form a clear border line.

In this world, the border is basically formed by trees, called the "Border Forest". To be precise, the trees are actually planted on both sides of the actual border. There is a 2 rusten (about 24 meters) open space between the two, which is considered a neutral area and does not belong to any country.

Of course, there was a reason for this. Trees and their root cover could prevent the passage of an army. Still, trees and vegetation could be easily cut down or pruned. But once this was done, obvious signs of the passage of an army would be left. Therefore, it was impossible to secretly send an army to a bordering country.

The border guard patrols to monitor the actions of the other country and check the condition of the border forests. If they find any logging, they will report it as a suspected border violation.

However, these border forests are also formed by nature. Sometimes they wither or become damaged. Therefore, maintenance work is also necessary.

However, it is inappropriate to be suspected of violating the border when carrying out maintenance work. Therefore, the border forest between the two countries is tacitly regarded as a neutral zone.

The guardsmen who were planting trees cheered on the passers-by. Many of them were new recruits, and their salutes seemed a little stiff. The guards knights also smiled and returned the salute, as if to say that they had also experienced such a moment.

"Ah, here we go. So should we go over there?"

Ye Kai said this when they arrived at the place where trees had not yet been planted.

Indeed, although the tree planting work has not yet been completed, the boundary line has been clearly marked with short wooden stakes. He pointed there, as if he was about to cross it.

"Wait! This is a boundary violation! Even if you..."

"It's okay. We've already discussed it."

Although Heinz tried to stop it, Ye Kai said lightheartedly, this kind of behavior is usually a big problem.

However, after a while, two knights rode side by side and rushed over. Ye Kai seemed to have sensed their presence through search magic. For the knights, they might have monitored through search magic or vision magic.

"Welcome, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Klein Zem-Holzlein. Please come this way."

When they arrived near the wooden stake, the knights dismounted, bowed and knelt in welcome.

"What's going on, Ye Kai?"

"It's a secret picnic. You don't mind if the Phrygians come to pick us up?"

When the knights stood in front, Ye Kai spoke to Klein who opened the carriage door, looking relaxed.

"Well, no danger?"

"Probably not, but if there is, I will try my best to rule it out."

Although he wanted to answer the kneeling knight in his heart, he felt a little pity when he heard Ye Kai's words.

“Okay. Let’s go.”

With a modicum of courage, Klein ordered the troops to cross the border.

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

Although they were not without worries, the knights still drove the carriages forward firmly and confidently because it was a matter of national honor.

However, after about ten minutes, they saw a carriage with ten riders and a family laying out cloths to relax.

“Bartolo!!”

Tulio shouted loudly, and this voice was enough to dispel Klein and the others' anxiety.

"Hey, Tulio. Long time no see. Although I'd love to rekindle our friendship, shall I first greet the nobles?"

"Oh, sorry." Realizing his mistake, Tulio stepped back. Bartello continued forward and stood in front of Klein who got off the carriage.

"Nice to meet you. I am Bartolo Tesserante, the Minister of State of the Kingdom of Phrygia. Please take care of me."

"I know you. Duke Bartro, right-hand man of His Majesty Salum."

Klein replied as Bartello bowed in greeting, motioning for him to look up for a handshake.

"It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness Klein. I am glad to accept your invitation to come here as Magic Boxer."

"Were you seduced here too? It's not easy for both of us."

“No, I feel very grateful for the opportunity.”

He also gestured to Ye Kai.

"You seem very happy. I think this is a rare opportunity, so I decided to come here."

They placed mismatched chairs on the grassland, and the two men sat down. Bartro turned to Ye Kai who was standing nearby.

“You took advantage of me in the border agreement. I want some of it back.”

“Well said. Did you get what you wanted?”

“I was just attracted by the temptation in front of me. In the long run, this is a big loss.”

"Don't lie, ok? Phrygia also benefited from this, right?"

Facing Ye Kai's smile, Bartro felt a little uneasy.

“Although it is a bit exaggerated to claim that Emperor Lufan is the descendant of a divine messenger, in fact, there are indeed divine messengers in the West.”

According to Ye Kai, there were obvious traces in the north, such as the Immortal Bridge, and some other discoveries.

Whether they left or perished is unclear. But they could not have disappeared without a trace. So where is the stuff they left behind?

"Although I'm not sure whether they constitute a country, the oldest human territory should be in the Treba Empire, right?"

The remaining records or technologies should be in that center. In other words, they should be hidden deep inside the palace. Ye Kai believes that Phrygia has excavated it. It is very likely that it contains the magic of the God's Messenger Clan. In Phrygia, people are confused by the magic description of the ancient legendary device brought by Ye Kai, and think that this may be the technology of the God's Messenger.
