Chapter 235: Live Well

"Yes, I get along very well with Her Royal Highness Princess Teresa, we both focus on bettering ourselves." When Karoso heard Easley say that, a look of helplessness appeared on his face, "My father wants to put the heavy burden of Canglang Province on my shoulders, but I don’t want that. I just want to better myself."

"Managing a province is too tiring for me."

"It’s not that I don’t understand politics, I just simply don’t like it."

"Oh?" Easley said without showing any emotion, "You are the hope of Canglang Province."

"I can find other ways to fulfill this hope, like… becoming a Ninth Rank." A spark of brilliance appeared in Karoso’s eyes. "I believe that becoming a Ninth Rank would be the greatest help to Canglang Province, much more than being a leader that any of us three brothers could be. Even the whole Kingdom of Persia doesn’t have a Ninth Rank."

[Hahaha, Master Karoso started to persuade Easley to cooperate with him.]

[Everything about Second Brother is gone.]

[Well, to be honest, I think what Master Karoso said is true.]

[Yeah, from the story, you can tell that Master Karoso doesn’t want to be the emperor; he wants to become a god.]

[Otherwise, he wouldn’t be following the path of the Lord of Eternity.]

[His path to becoming a god needs a foundation of blood, so he can only be the ruler of Canglang Province, then start a world war.]

[We are also unsure how Master Karoso will choose now.]

[Don’t say "we"; Master Karoso himself hasn’t figured it out.]

[Doesn’t he want to make life better for everyone at the bottom? Simply put, this means overthrowing the nobles’ rule and achieving a change to capitalism.]

[To accomplish this, isn’t having strength more important than being a king?]

[It’s hard to say; that Messiah is very strong and can show up, but I have never seen her do anything significant.]

[Right, she hasn’t really fought; with her strength, she could probably sweep everyone away, right?]

[This world should have restrictions for those above level nine.]

Listening to Karoso, a flicker of joy appeared in Easley’s heart.

What he needs is a Karoso who longs to become stronger, not one who desires power.

Only then can he have better control.

As for becoming a ninth-tier…

Don’t be fooled by Karoso being the strongest in mental strength for three hundred years; how difficult is it to reach ninth-tier? There are only a few ninth-tier individuals in the world.

Let alone ninth-tier, even when Karoso is at seventh-tier or eighth-tier, the old man might not be able to do anything. By then, when I ascend to the throne, I can naturally deal with him and crush the hopes of Canglang Province.

Canglang Province has always wandered between major forces, always wanting to be independent…

A province, and a province that owes us so much money, who do they think they are?

Although the emperor said that Canglang Province’s debts would be forgiven, the condition is for Neymar to become a god.

The status of Neymar as a deity has not been confirmed, and the emperor will not announce this matter.

"Well, I believe in your potential. You are Teresa’s friend, which means you are my friend too," Easley said. "If there is a place you want to go to practice, or if you need a teacher, just tell me, and I will help you."

"Those political courses are indeed very boring. They will only slow down your journey to become stronger."

"I believe the Duke will understand you."

"Now the world is at peace, and Kazan is a very good successor. That is enough."

"It’s not too late to be ambitious when you reach the ninth level."

"Don’t forget, the Empire will always support Canglang Province."

"No matter what hope you from Canglang Province want to pursue, the Empire can support you."

"What I say about these matters doesn’t matter right now." Karoso raised his glass and clinked it with Easley’s. "It depends on my father’s decision."

"Karoso, you should live for yourself, not to become what your father wants you to be." Easley said seriously. "We live in this world, not to become someone else’s shadow."

[Darn, why do I feel like what this Second Prince is saying makes some sense? He is a villain to Master Karoso!]

[Because none of us want to walk the path our parents have laid out for us; it’s normal to feel this way.]

[Master Karoso is different; he has said that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.]

[Actually, Master Karoso is doing pretty well on this path, as long as he protects the Duke, this Second Prince won’t cause any trouble.]

[Yes, Canglang Province is already much stronger than it was in history.]

[Not enough.]

[What about having Neymar, the living goddess, on our side?]

[The Duke using Neymar is definitely much better than the old woman.]

[Right, the old woman and Neymar are, to put it simply, in a cooperative relationship, and Neymar does not want to kill Master Karoso.]

"I will." Karoso raised his glass and drank it all in one go.

"Cheers to you." Easley also drank it all in one go.

Bang!

Easley put down his glass and said to Karoso, "This Emperor Goufuh card is very important; it seems I need to end this journey early."

"Oh?" Karoso raised an eyebrow.

"I have already arranged for a helicopter to pick me up," Easley said with a wry smile. "You and Teresa like to train, but I’m different; I have many problems to worry about. You might not know what kind of changes this Emperor Goufuh card will bring to the world."

"To put it simply, this card is not something everyone can afford; after all, it is a Golden Card." Karoso shook his head. "Ninety percent of professionals rely on blue and white cards, and only a few can use purple and Golden Cards."

"But this will make many people who lean towards the Wizard Association turn to the Nature Mage Association. The choices of those who hold wealth are the most important," Easley said seriously. "Karoso, stay safe. I believe, because of this card, you in Canglang Province will face a lot of pressure, especially from the Wizard Association."

"If you need anything, you can find me, or even… you can ask Grand Duke Osiris to come to see me."

"I understand, thank you," Karoso replied.

Looking for you?

At that time, I didn’t know what a big price I would have to pay.

Working with the Nature Mage Association would naturally offend the Wizard Association, which Karoso knew from the start.

But life is always full of choices.

Compared to the Wizard Association, which is small in number but very wealthy, Karoso prefers the more down-to-earth Nature Mage Association.

The netizen’s wish is to help the ordinary people, not the upper class.

……

What was the old woman, mentioned by the netizen, doing at that moment?

In fact, she is also on this ship.

Merlin is in Celica’s room, and the two of them have already drunk a lot of tea.

Celica’s two followers stand behind her, and none of them have left the room yet. They do not know that Karoso has caused a lot of trouble with Goufuh.

"Master Celica, can’t I just meet Sophia? I’ve known about the girl’s condition for a long time, but this time, she accidentally ran off to the City of Freedom." Merlin said helplessly, holding his magic wand.

"No, until the church finishes their examination, no one can have a deep conversation with Sophia and Neymar."
