章節 8: Returning Home
"Your Majesty!"
"At ease!" Magnus, the King of Faerie Kingdom, commanded.
Looking at all the nobles who attended, Magnus began to make his speech, praising the kingdom's harvest, peace, and prosperity.
"Let the banquet commence!"
"Cheers, Your Majesty!"
"Cheers to all my ministers and fellow nobles."
"Your Majesty, this is my gift," Duke Charles presented the gift.
"Oh, what good thing did the duke get me?"
"It's a Tier 3 Spirit Tea. I was fortunate to acquire this during my travels."
"Tier 3 Spirit Tea!"
"Duke Charles is truly wealthy, casually gifting a Tier 3 spirit tea as if it were nothing."
A group of nobles whispered to each other as they gazed at the tea with envy.
Spirit tea is known for calming the mind and nourishing the spirit.
It can also hasten magic cultivation.
"You have heart, Duke Charles. I appreciate this gift very much."
Soon, others also began to present their gifts until it was Maximus's turn.
"Your Majesty, this is my gift."
"Oh, I've heard of you. Your father was truly a great man."
"It's a pity he encountered cults. Don't worry; I have been gathering manpower to track them down."
"I cannot allow such a black sheep to run rampant in my kingdom."
"I thank you, Your Majesty,"
Nodding, Magnus took a look at his gift, not expecting much.
"A Tier 3 Blood Thorn Vine?!"
The Blood Thorn Vine is a tonic comparable to a Tier 3 healing potion.
But considering his injuries, a mere Tier 3 tonic wouldn't be enough to heal him.
"Hmm, the gift is quite impressive." Although it was useless to him, it was still quite valuable.
Soon, all the nobles presented their gifts as the banquet continued.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door swung open as a messenger rushed in.
"Your Majesty, this is bad!"
"Calm down and tell me," Magnus said, soothing the messenger.
"It's the Jade Kingdom! They have suddenly declared war!"
"What?!"
Everyone in the room was shocked.
The Faerie Kingdom was a powerful force, housing two Tier 4 Sky Knights.
In comparison, the Jade Kingdom only has one such power, yet how dare they attack them?
"Presumptuous!"
Magnus had been peacefully developing his kingdom without provoking anyone.
He even chose a barren part of the Sunburnt Plateau so as not to arouse jealousy.
Yet, there was still someone bored to challenge him?!
"Hmph, the audacity of the Jade Kingdom."
"Prepare for war. I will show them the might of the Faerie Kingdom,"
Hearing this, Maximus smiled wryly.
He had just stabilized his territory, and now another problem had arisen.
Fortunately, he would soon have two Tier 3 Earth Knight generals.

A week later, Maximus returned to the Moonshadow City.
This time, he returned with two generals and two young women, which could be considered a fruitful harvest.
Soon, as he dismounted at the castle, Hazel and Erica jumped on him in an embrace.
"Husband, you're back~"
"Husband!"
"Careful," Maximus said softly, reminding them they were pregnant.
"Oh~"
"Did you miss me?"
"Hmm, we missed our husband."
"Hahaha, then I'll treat you later."
"I-" Erica and Hazel blushed.
The "treat" Maximus mentioned involved using their hands and mouths.
They didn't know where Maximus learned these crooked things.
---
The next day, Maximus woke up in a state of bliss.
However, thinking a war was about to happen, Maximus sighed.
Since there was still a lot to do, he didn't linger in bed and got up.
"Good morning,"
"Hmm, good morning, Husband," they responded sleepily.
"I'll be going out for a while; you take care of the castle."
"Leave it to us."
---
At the military camp near the castle.
"How are the soldiers?"
"They are barely usable, my lord," Johnson replied, looking at the ragtag group of soldiers.
After pledging allegiance to Maximus, Johnson and Smith received a tier 4 blood rejuvenation potion.
Now, they were back to their peak strength as if nothing had happened.
"We have various cultivation manuals, but resources are still lacking," General Smith stated.
"Do you have a solution?"
"We could hunt in the Death Forest; it should provide plenty of resources."
"Furthermore, it can also serve as training,"
"That's indeed a feasible idea."
"Rest assured, Lord, we will train these soldiers to perfection."
"Good. Also, here are supplies to reduce casualties."
"Healing potions?"
This potion cost 300 gold in the Imperial City.
Even in Berrun City, it cost 100 gold.
Yet, there were now at least a thousand in the storage bag.
"This is too much!"
"It's all right, you can use them without worry. I still have plenty,"
Potions were too cheap in the system, as if they were mass-produced products.
There were 1,500 healing potions in the storage bag, costing him only 15,000 gold.
"Then I'll thank you on behalf of the soldiers."
With about a thousand soldiers present, they could each have a healing potion.
"Hmm," Maximus didn't worry that the two generals would suspect him.
After pledging their allegiance, they signed a more stringent soul-bound contract.
Unless they reached the tier 7 realm, their thoughts and lives were in his hands.

In the castle.
"Hello, you two," Erica greeted as she saw the two girls Maximus had brought home.
Despite their scars, their body shapes revealed their inherent beauty.
"Hello," Luna responded politely.
After Maximus had intervened previously, he hadn't bothered them further.
However, even so, they still hadn't taken the tier 3 scar potion.
"I heard from my husband that you were once nobles."
"Could you tell me about it?"
"Uh, sure."
With nothing else to do, Luna opened up to them.
Hazel and Livia remained silent, listening to the conversation.
The servants also brought some snacks.
"That's it! That noble was truly inhuman," Hazel empathized.
The reason Luna and Livia had become slaves was due to a greedy noble.
He had coveted the two sisters, ruthlessly raiding their estate like a bandit.
Without the support of their father, they could only fight back.
Fortunately, with their strength and the treasure their father had left them, the noble stood no chance and eventually died.
However, their misfortune didn't end there; while weakened from using their father's treasure, they were captured by a third party.
"It's hard for the two of you…"
"Thank you," Luna said, finally feeling heard.
Livia, on the other hand, teared up, recalling their hardships.
"It's all right; you're safe here now,"
That night, Luna and Livia finally decided to use the potion to restore their beauty.
Upon witnessing this, Maximus could only sigh at the system's fit criteria, which were spot on.
The twins were indeed world-shaking beauties.
