Chapter 366: Teresa’s Limited Return
A division took him home; only Karoso could make such a request.
Bringing an army here could be seen as declaring war, especially during this sensitive time. This is definitely not a good choice for Canglang Province.
However, to quietly keep an elite group, they can only use a division as cover.
"Do you know how much an elite group costs?" Osiris said seriously.
"Yes," Karoso sighed. "Real top-level equipment, all soldiers are professionals. Though they are low in rank, at least they can use magic and better control magical weapons. They even come with two armed helicopters; the bodies of the helicopters are mixed with Seastone materials, and the bullets used are Exorcist Bullets of sixth tier and above. The two missiles they carry can even break through eighth-tier defense Magic Cards."
"The cost and daily maintenance of such a group would be enough for two divisions in a year."
"If war breaks out, it will require even more."
"You’re asking for too much," Osiris said.
"I believe it is worth it. Aileen has a great reputation among the people, and she is the heir to the Sword in the Stone, which is the spirit of all those who still have chivalry," Karoso explained.
"At most one camp," Osiris rejected again.
"Okay," Karoso noticed Osiris was unwilling to pay such a high price and didn’t say more.
"You could try asking your good friend, Teresa," a rare smile appeared in Osiris’s eyes. "We can’t afford a whole group; she might be able to."
"This…," Karoso frowned slightly, "does my father want me to use her?"
"No, you two are already tied together," Osiris shook his head. "Even if it’s a bet, someone has to share the risk."
"How do you know they don’t want to bet? They just need a better reason."
"The Presea Empire is not like Canglang Province; they have strong foundations and can diversify their investments."
"If they send a group and we send a camp, it shows our respect for them."
Karoso suddenly understood and bowed, saying, "Father, I understand."
"Your political class, remember to make up for it for another month when you return."
"Yes!"
……
Presea, the royal palace.
"So weak, so weak. Do you think you are fit to be on my level?"
Bang, bang, bang…
The sound was like iron being hammered in an outdoor training ground.
Teresa held a big sword, and in front of her, a warrior wearing leather armor was struggling hard.
In contrast, Teresa was only wearing a black sports tank top and a pair of shorts, with sweat all over her body.
Her flowing long hair was messily tied up and had already become tangled.
Bang!
Teresa stepped down, and the last warrior fell to the ground.
The warriors in front of her were all fifth-tier, the same level as Teresa.
In theory, Teresa’s speed of leveling up was already quite extraordinary; she had gone through two dungeons while Karoso was at sea, experienced some adventures, and achieved fifth-tier status, with a solid foundation.
Unfortunately, Karoso was far from a normal person, and Teresa couldn’t compare at all; Karoso’s growth was beyond the explanation of mere talent.
As netizens say, Neymar was partly possessed by the God of Wisdom, Aileen received the heritage of her ancestors, Sophia had luck fall from the sky, and Teresa would only shine when she became a queen; usually, she and Karoso were both the steady types.
Now, many people’s advantages had gone to Karoso, causing him to leave Teresa behind.
"Your Highness…"
A maid handed Teresa a towel.
"Huff…" Teresa wiped the sweat off her body.
Even though they are both princesses, her status is not something Aileen can compare to.
Presea inherits the throne regardless of gender; only the strong are respected.
If Aileen does not pull out the Sword in the Stone, it is clear she does not even have the right to be the heir.
The most important thing is that Emperor Augustus has few children…
"Change to a new group," Teresa glanced at the people on the ground.
Six warriors in total, and after defeating these, Teresa surprisingly still had strength left.
"Yes, Your Highness…"
Before the maid could call anyone, a butler ran over, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you have a message."
"Me?" Teresa looked confused, wondering who would seek her out for no reason.
"It’s Karoso Colloa from Canglang Province… Huh? Where is he?" The butler looked puzzled as Teresa’s figure had already vanished.
Teresa quickly arrived at the communication room. Seeing Karoso looking drained, she pointed at him and laughed, "What have you done? You look so worn out!"
"I’ll be fine in a month," Karoso waved his hand, "It’s nothing serious."
"Oh, so you were blessed by the gods for a month?" Teresa said with a smile, "How was it, being the Flame War God?"
Even from afar, Teresa had a general understanding of what was happening at sea and with Laria.
There was no way around it; what Karoso had done made it to international news.
"What can I say? I have just reached the eighth tier, so I should have no pressure at all." Karoso replied seriously, "You only get stuck at the ninth tier when you need to understand your own rules."
Teresa: …
She felt like she had been shown off.
Breaking through from the third tier to the fourth tier, from the sixth tier to the seventh tier, and from the seventh tier to the eighth tier, these stages require understanding, not just gathering power.
The jump from three to four is a turning point; breaking through early gives an advantage. Some people might never break through. From four to six can be seen as a realm; as long as the magic power is sufficient, things will go smoothly. However, the leap from six to seven has stopped countless people. Once you reach the eighth tier, you are basically a guest of honor in a province, or a true key figure.
An eighth-tier Card Maker cannot be afforded, given the current situation where most of Canglang Province’s taxes are focused on the military. Alita still gets the treatment of a seventh-tier Card Maker…
The ninth tier? That means a moving nuclear weapon.
"As long as you fix your body, you will be almost an eighth-tier, right?" Teresa shot a glance at Karoso. "Why didn’t you bring me along for such an exciting thing? Come here quickly and tell me what happened to you. If you make me happy, I will lend you my Dust Pearl."
The Dust Pearl, a ninth-tier treasure, is a rare gem even for the Presea Empire, far more valuable than Karoso’s family treasure, Pandora’s Eye.
It is clear that Teresa still cares about Karoso’s health.
"Don’t worry, the Flame War God Church is already preparing." Karoso didn’t want to use Teresa’s things, after all, he didn’t feel much burden since he was possessed by himself…
One can only say that the Blackening Card is really powerful; everyone mistakenly thinks he is a god.
As for why the Flame War God became a man and changed his appearance? Maybe the Flame War God just wants to keep a low profile.
