Chapter 520: Return

"Karoso…" Kazan had his hands behind his back and felt a bit confused.

What would Karoso do in this situation?

Kazan’s thoughts were simple; he just wanted to maintain the people’s livelihoods in Canglang Province so it could grow healthy.

Both Saaya and Karoso were much more radical than Kazan.

"If it were Master Saaya, he would find ways to make connections," Red said. "If it were Master Karoso, he would probably have chosen a side to attack already."

"Canglang Province is a strong military province, but it is still just a provincial government. He is a ninth-tier powerhouse; of course, he can lead an attack, but I cannot…" Kazan shook his head. "Taking on this burden brings such heavy pressure, and I have only just broken through to seventh-tier. Besides, I fear I might stop at seventh-tier for the rest of my life."

"I am not talking about Master Karoso at the ninth tier; even if Master Karoso were only seventh-tier, he would still choose to take the initiative," Red said.

"Isn’t this like asking for trouble in front of a powerful kingdom?" Kazan frowned slightly. "Don’t be fooled by the Kingdom of Persia fighting; they are not to be underestimated."

"Also, war causes great suffering and waste…"

It was clear that Kazan’s thinking was very different from Karoso’s.

Red did not try to persuade him; each young master had their own style, and that was fine.

However, he personally felt that this era suited Young Master Karoso better.

In times of peace, both Young Master Saaya and Young Master Kazan could have been qualified dukes.

Kazan casually found a small tavern, the kind that was noisy and bustling, and sat down.

The large dance halls and singing places were now deserted, and even the mid-range taverns were starting to have fewer people, leaving only these small taverns still full of chatter.

This place was filled with low-level adventurers taking on cheap tasks, like clearing small monsters, exploring tiny dungeons, and even running errands like delivering letters.

Rich people use their own ways to go to places they think are safe.

Middle-class people, although not as well-off as the rich, can still find some places they consider safe.

Only those at the bottom cannot escape; wherever they go, it is the same.

In every age and every world, the poor suffer the most in wars. Those with power and influence have a much higher chance of survival compared to the poor.

"Hey, can we share a table?" A young adventurer, seeing there were no seats, approached Kazan with his girlfriend.

Kazan is over ten years older than Karoso; he is in his thirties now. With how worn out he has looked lately, it’s not surprising to be called "uncle."

"Please sit down," Kazan nodded.

The adventurer happily sat across from Kazan with four cheap drinks, and his girlfriend sat next to him.

It seemed the couple had just started dating and were acting very affectionately.

Seeing the two chatting carefree about dungeons, Kazan spoke up, "Are you happy living in this city?"

"Pretty happy," the young man paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "But I need to put some pressure on myself, I can’t let her live like this anymore."

As he said this, he wrapped his arm around his girlfriend.

His girlfriend looked at Kazan’s clothes, her eyes brightening a little, but she didn’t say much else.

The girl looked ordinary, with some freckles on her face, and she appeared quite young.

However, she clearly wanted to live a wealthy lifestyle.

Working hard all day was due to the struggles of life.

"What will you do if there’s a war?" Kazan asked.

"Isn’t war something for the front lines? We’ll just have to live as we do," the young man casually replied, "If it really gets here, we will run. I read in the newspaper that the international situation is quite complicated right now."

When the topic of international affairs came up, the young man’s eyes sparkled a bit, and he seemed eager to speak.

Clearly, he was the type who liked to talk about politics after having a drink.

"Oh? What do you think the international situation is like now?" Kazan asked with interest.

"Hey, right now in Presea, some people are causing a revolution in the capital and have safely escaped, supposedly with the help of the Sea Empress. Presea has really lost something important, and they can’t regain control. I think Presea is just like that," the young man said. "Those people have all fled to the Pande Empire. If Presea really had the ability, they would have sent someone to catch them back already."

"At this time, entering the Pande Empire’s territory is just like declaring war on them. You said it yourself, Presea has lost something important, and all the countries see Presea as weak, so they are trying to sneak in. Presea is too busy to handle its own problems, how can it go looking for trouble?" Kazan smiled and shook his head. "The Pande Empire is very sensitive right now. If they see a major power trying to capture people, they might feel other countries think they are weak and retaliate desperately."

"That’s why Presea is useless! They can’t even catch the troublemakers who ran away to another country? No matter how they escaped, in this situation, if they can’t get them back, they are useless! Just look at the Yggdrasil Empire; could they bring people back?" The young man said with admiration when mentioning the Yggdrasil Empire.

Kazan felt a bit helpless; this young man really didn’t understand. The Yggdrasil Empire might not go to the Pande Empire to catch people in this situation.

"Also, I think the Pande Empire is about to fall apart. What about the Kingdom of Knights? So many rebels, and the country doesn’t manage them; it all depends on the princess to take care of it." The young man said, "Yaleman isn’t doing any better; there are riots every day, and the empire can’t control it. To me, this world is about to change."

"So what do you think about the Kingdom of Persia?" Kazan asked.

"Persia?" The young man pondered for a moment, was about to speak, but a voice interrupted him.

Bang!

Suddenly, a tray of drinks was slammed onto the table, and a young man sat down next to the young adventurer.

Beside him was a female companion dressed in a white T-shirt and black pants, looking very casual, a bit like a city beauty.

When the young adventurer saw such a beautiful woman, his eyes lit up.

However, he only admired her and had no wrong thoughts.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

"I will pay for these drinks, Kingdom of Persia, let me tell you how it is, then you can see if I’m right." Karoso smiled at the young man.

"You…" Kazan’s eyes widened.

He never expected that Karoso would come back at this moment, and he never imagined he would arrive in this way!

Damn, doesn’t this guy know that he is causing a huge problem right now? If those Level Nine pursuers come after him, they might fight, and the whole Canglang Province could be turned upside down!

Kazan was about to speak, but Karoso raised his hand to stop him.

"Alright!" The young adventurer clapped his hands, "Thank you!"

After saying that, he quickly took two relatively expensive glasses of wine from Karoso’s plate.

"I think Persia is at its end, and Canglang Province can swallow Persia whole."
