As a villain, I really don't want to be pursued by the heroine.

"Yeah." Alice nodded indifferently in response.

In fact, she didn't quite understand why the saint had to wear a holy sword, but Roy and Theresa both excitedly said that they must get one, so she was a little looking forward to it.

It's like changing into a new little skirt and wanting to show it to the owner.

It must be said that Douglas's professional level is worthy of recognition. The content of the meeting progressed in an orderly manner and everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.

Only Jason couldn't get a word in and just sat in the corner with a frown on his face.

There were people at the table, each busy with their own things. Not to mention the Dragon Slayer Princess and the Saint of White Harbor, Douglas stood on the front line against the demons, and the Nightingale of the Emerald Council also made progress in personal strength. As for Roy Ironblood, he even killed the dragon himself, making a feat that would be recorded in history.

Only on his side, apart from the occasional sea monsters and cult disturbances, everything was almost calm and peaceful. He was so idle that he had nothing to talk about at the meeting!

"To have reached a high level at such a young age, Her Highness Charlotte and Lord Roy are truly worthy of the title of geniuses. Their talent makes me pale in comparison."

"You are too kind, Senior. It was just the right timing. Your Highness is very busy with government affairs and is burdened with the responsibility of guarding against the Western Demon Clan. The slight delay in the bloodline is understandable."

Listening to everyone bragging about their business, Jason silently adjusted his glasses, feeling that human joys and sorrows were not mutually exclusive and were very noisy.

"Oh, and Senior Jason has worked hard too."

Jason was stunned for a moment when Roy suddenly called out to him.

Roy said politely, "Thanks to the supplies and financial assistance from the South Sea Kingdom, the Lionheart Kingdom was able to rebuild quickly."

"Not only Lionheart, but I heard that you've also initiated a new round of economic cooperation with the Empire's borderlands, the Emerald Council, the Kingdom of the Golden Sands, and White Harbor. Having the South Sea Kingdom's support is a great blessing for all of us. I have to thank you on behalf of everyone."

When accepting valuables, a little courtesy is only natural. Along the way, Roy had seen numerous caravans sailing from the southernmost tip of the continent to support the kingdom. Despite his previous impulsiveness, Roy was still grateful to the Prince of the South Sea.

Especially since he sucked up other people's national treasure, which made Roy feel a little embarrassed.

"Haha, mutual benefit and win-win, working hand in hand, I still understand this principle." Jason said this, but inexplicably raised his back, and he looked a lot more energetic.

As expected, it’s Roy!

Even without actual achievements, these people know how to appreciate their own talents! Perhaps this is what they call geniuses being attracted to each other, naturally admiring each other!

Now that I think about it, I had wronged Douglas. He was not wrong. This black-haired boy was indeed a character!

Thinking of this, Jason was in a good mood and had already started to consider what further benefits he could offer Roy.

When the meeting was halfway through, Roy took the initiative and said, "If there are no other council members, I want to discuss something very important."

Regarding the [World-Destroying Natural Disaster] and the mastermind behind the disaster who is trying to use it to do something, this matter is closely related to all forces and even all of humanity.

This is what Roy really wanted to talk about in this meeting.

Roy informed everyone of his findings on Nidhogg's body, as well as the Dragon King and Theresa's speculations.

Jason and Douglas both had solemn expressions, and even the Sage, who had remained silent during the meeting, became a little serious.

"In short, I hope that while you're handling your own affairs, you can pay more attention to the targets behind the crisis. Perhaps behind these incidents involving cultists and demons, there are threats far more serious than they appear on the surface."

Douglas nodded vigorously: "I will pay attention."

"Me too. If there's any news, we'll contact each other right away." Jason also gave the same assurance, even more positive than the former.

The threat of [World-Destroying Disaster] was terrifying, but it also made the Prince of the South China Sea inexplicably excited.

If he could contribute to the benefit of all mankind, wouldn't that be a feat that would go down in history? Wasn't this the time for him to act?

After confirming that neither prince dared to take the matter lightly, Roy felt somewhat relieved.

He was confident that Charlotte and the others would not neglect this matter, but he was afraid that Douglas and the others would be taken advantage of.

Fortunately, both princes were sensible enough and trusted his words enough.

In this way, even if the mastermind behind the incident cannot be caught in advance, if there is any trouble in the future, all parties can at least unite at the first time and deal with the threat in the most complete manner.

After the meeting, the Sage called Roy.

"I want to talk to you privately. Oh, Miss Nia, please stay as well. This matter has something to do with you as well."

Everyone tactfully left the room first to leave space for them.

No matter how angry the two princes were, they couldn't disturb the meeting of the Sages. As for Charlotte and Alice, Roy would go and tell them anything they needed to know, so they didn't care.

On the contrary, Nia's smile froze, and she looked a little listless. When there were only three people left in the room, the Sage took the lead in congratulating, "First of all, I must congratulate you on reaching the advanced level."

His old eyes held unconcealed admiration. "It seems you've already begun to embrace divinity. I can see that one-fifth of your blood and soul is already indistinguishable from that of a dragon."

"Even J.K. Rowling only went this far back then, and you will obviously go further than her."

Although he knew that the other party was praising him, Roy still felt something was strange.

"Not only that, a military alliance is also taking shape. Perhaps you won't need me to lead the charge. You can integrate them yourself."

Roy couldn't help laughing: "Dean, what are you talking about?"

"I'm just having a meeting with them. I'll still have to rely on you when it comes to alliances and such."

The old man just looked at him and smiled without saying anything.

As the saying goes, the beholder is clear.

Even if Roy himself did not have that awareness, Booker had already seen that all forces were unconsciously relying on him, following him, and uniting around him.

A true leader does not need a crown or power; he can attract followers even if he is alone.

It is precisely because he has done the same thing before that the [Sage] is certain that the young man in front of him will do better than he did back then.

"There's no rush for the alliance. I actually want to talk about something else."

The old man's gaze fell on the elf girl beside him, and his tone became serious: "The [Death of All Things] has been active recently, you must be careful."

Chapter 5: Mating Season

【Withering of All Things】, it is an ancient evil cult that originated from the Green Council and has long been threatening the descendants of the elves.

The cultists who believe in the [Fallen Mother Tree] are skilled in withering magic, and their methods are insidious and strange, but they are much more low-key than the [Evil Dragon Society] and the [School of the Undead], and rarely confront forces outside the Green Council head-on.

Until last year's Blue Trial.

Roy unconsciously glanced at the elf girl beside him.

The [Death of All Creatures] weren't cowardly or incompetent, nor were they peace-loving; they simply held onto the bloodline of the elven descendants. Nia, having awakened the golden bloodline of the [Forest Elves], was the very reason these cultists were driven to such a frenzy that they launched an attack on the Citadel.

"hiss......"

Nia also took a deep breath and felt unwell.

"No, why are these guys here again?"

"Actually, the previous cleanup operation has already destroyed the [Withering All Things] stronghold within the Citadel. It will be extremely difficult for them to infiltrate the Citadel again. The Red Mages have also cleared out all the cultists surrounding the Citadel. However..." Struck his beard, the old man said in a warning tone, "It's always better to be cautious."

"I can ensure the safety of the area surrounding the Citadel, but beyond that, I can't guarantee safety. Of all the cults, the [Death of All Things] is the most difficult to defend against. If you're planning to travel far away soon, please be careful."

"I understand." Roy nodded.

At least until the end of this semester, Nia will not leave the vicinity of the academy. In addition, she already has the strength of Sequence 5, so there is no need to worry too much.

Even if something really happened, with his strength at Sequence 4, he would not be afraid of any priest below the Chief.

The bloodline from the Dragon King is not vegetarian. Not to mention the cultists, even the descendants of the evil god have to think twice!

Unlike the "villain" who could only rely on the thighs of various forces, he is now capable of providing protection for those around him.

Thinking of this, Roy gave the girl beside him a reassuring smile and said comfortingly, "So..."

Nia was pleasantly surprised. "So, to prevent any danger during the journey, I don't have to go home?!"

After being stunned for a long time, Roy finally squeezed out a sentence: "As expected of you."

Perhaps because she was optimistic or magnanimous, after learning that [Withering of All Things] had reappeared, Nia was not frightened at all. Instead, she was as happy as if she had taken a long vacation.

As soon as the meeting ended, she happily took Alice shopping.

Roy accompanied Charlotte to the stable where the Warcraft mounts were placed.

"Actually, I think there's something wrong with the appearance of [the cake]."

"Something's wrong?"

"You'll know just by looking at it."

Since Charlotte looked worried, Roy couldn't help but feel a little worried as well.

This area is specially designed for Warcraft to play and play, with woods, earth slopes, and even a large artificial lake.

Along the way, you can see various kinds of magical beasts, tumbling around freely, playing in the woods, in the lake, and in the sky.

There are special trainers responsible for taking care of them, so there is no need to worry about these mounts getting out of control.

Among the numerous beasts, the figures of Golden Wing and Golden Red walking side by side can be described as the brightest red among the colorful crowd.

Two graceful griffins strolled leisurely in the blue sky and white clouds, and sailed past the lake together, as beautiful as a quiet painting.

"What's wrong with this?" Roy asked curiously.

Isn’t that right!

Any magical beast has the habit of following the strong, let alone the griffin with a rebellious nature?

After the dragon-slaying battle, Cheese became a true admirer among the griffins. Roy never heard any griffin laugh at the pair of golden wings again.

And [Cake] is getting closer and closer to it.

After all, that guy seemed to have been interested in cheese for a long time.

Now it seems that the good brothers are completely on the right track, and it is just around the corner for them to win the [cake]!

"No, wait a little longer." Charlotte was a little helpless.

Roy waited patiently for a few seconds.

He watched as the two griffins played like cats, rolling around, licking each other, and then rolling into the grass.

Then came a burst of ambiguous cry that was like an electric shock and a gentle breeze.

The animal trainers scratched their heads, but no one stepped forward to stop it.

It was only then that Roy realized that there were similar sounds everywhere around him.

It is summer.

This was the perfect stage for the mating and breeding of Warcraft mounts, so it was no wonder so many mounts were able to unleash their true natures here. After all, Warcraft mounts only had a limited time to be kept out of the wind, and unless they were originally paired, they would generally be placed individually in the stables.

No wonder this place is so spacious. Did the academy arrange this place not only for them to play, but also for outdoor parties?!

Roy couldn't wait to stay here when he thought about the magical beasts living in harmony everywhere.

Even though there wasn't anything unsightly around her, Charlotte still lowered her eyes, feeling a bit unsure where to look. "Do you think they're getting too close?"

After going through hardships, the relationship between the good brothers finally took a step forward. Roy was so happy that he couldn't contain himself, but of course he couldn't let Charlotte ruin his good fortune.

"Griffins also need to be free to fall in love. Why not give them some space?"

"But according to the rules, the bloodline of the Royal Griffin cannot be passed on to outsiders."

"Didn't I say this before? The bloodline of the Golden-Winged Griffin is no weaker than that of the Royal Griffin. For example, the inheritance of a powerful bloodline will actually bring more benefits to future generations."

[Cake] After all, it is Charlotte's pet, so Roy can't say too much.

Brother, I can only help you so far!

After a moment, Charlotte finally had an answer: "Then let's do as you say."

"You are mine anyway. If anything happens, I will hold you responsible." Charlotte smiled with a twinkle in her eyes.

"?"

"But no matter what, you can't do that in public. Is that even a sign of the Wang family? I'll go get someone to get them a private room."

So, that night, the two griffins, who had been facing each other through the door for a long time, finally lived in the same pen.

"Really? You've only known each other for a short time and you're already taken over? You're a royal griffin after all." Charlotte was quite amused as she stroked Cake's head. "How lame."

On the other side, the golden-winged griffin was quacking excitedly and was about to jump into Roy's arms.

"Brother! I didn't follow you wrongly! From now on, I can have sex with Miss [Cake] every day!"

"Haha, no big deal. It's my duty to help my brother."

"But..." Roy was a little curious, "How did you end up together?"

I remember the last time I saw them was at a celebration party. At that time, [cheese] and [cake] were far from being ambiguous. How come they have become a fait accompli now?
