Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Just Spoil Him

"That’s really stingy, right?" Teresa was a little surprised.

"It’s okay, as long as the supplies they send can meet the basic needs for food," Karoso didn’t mind too much. "Their soldiers just need to put on a strong front, making people think we are not so easy to defeat."

"You have quite the idea," Teresa said with her hands raised.

[It seems they are all the same.]

[That’s normal; not just between countries, but even between people. Like when I saw online a little kitten needing ten thousand for treatment, all the cat lovers shouted that it must be saved, but no one donated. It’s easy to talk when you’re not the one in pain.]

[To put it another way, if our country used our taxes to donate to others, while we lived in a mess ourselves, wouldn’t that feel uncomfortable?]

[Cao Wang: I just love to donate.]

[The situations in the two worlds are different; here, the nobles act for their own benefits. They help Master Karoso because they can benefit from it.]

[If I were a noble, I wouldn’t donate. I would secretly follow along and make a fortune from the war; that’s much better than sending gifts to Master Karoso.]

[Well, maybe to slow down Master Karoso’s defeat, I would send some unwanted items.]

"By the way, did you bring the people I asked for?" Karoso asked a key question as the boat docked.

"Of course," Teresa waved her hand, "Come down!"

Just then, two figures fell from the sky.

When Karoso saw the newcomers, his face lit up with joy.

There was 『』, bringing Kirmin with her, as they both jumped off the boat.

This time, there were many dangers on Karoso’s way to Pande, so he didn’t bring these two people.

Now that they have passed the hardest challenge, it is safe for them to follow Teresa.

『』 never expected that, as an eighth-tier and Karoso’s teacher, she would be someone Karoso worried about.

『』 took a big risk by coming to find Karoso this time.

Normally, she is the royal card maker of the Kingdom of Persia, but Karoso and the entire Canglang Province have broken away from the Kingdom of Persia, which makes her a traitor.

However, the idea of countries in this world is not very strong. Only the former Pande Empire, which relied on the belief in knightly spirit, could unite most people. In the eyes of 『』, she and Persia only have a contract relationship related to cards.

As for how to persuade Null?

Um…

……

Marl Magic Academy, Alchemy Academy, the director’s alchemy workshop.

Null looked at the materials in front of him, lost in thought.

He kept a serious face as he walked to the door of 『』’s room.

He wanted to push the door open directly, but he felt he couldn’t show his older brother’s authority.

There was no way around it; 『』 was much better at card making than Null. After many experiments from the players, 『』’s experience and skill in card making were beyond what Null could understand.

The two had nearly the same talent, and 『』 was already one of the best Card Makers. With this opportunity, Null was left far behind.

However, no matter how great the talent, one cannot act like this.

Although this material was quite good and met the level of a skilled Eight-tier Card Maker, it was not up to 『』’s standards.

Knock, knock, knock…

Null knocked on the door.

"Cough, cough… I’m not feeling well…"

A voice that sounded almost exactly like 『』’s replied from inside, "The card making took too much energy."

Null sighed with relief and comforted, "Don’t overwork yourself."

"Hmm…" someone inside responded.

Null had just turned around when he suddenly felt something was off.

Although the sound was 『』’s, Null and 『』 shared a strange connection, and Null instinctively sensed there was a problem.

Bang!

Null pushed the door open and froze.

He saw Alita sitting in 『』’s spot, working on some materials.

When she saw Null enter, Alita looked surprised, "Did I reveal myself so quickly?"

After saying that, she awkwardly greeted him, "Hi, President Null, have you eaten?"

Damn, how does 『』 usually handle the materials?

Everyone is clearly an Eight-tier Card Maker. How can she do so much better than me? Are these two people strange?

"『』!"

Null’s loud shout echoed through the lab.

……

"Young Master!" Kirmin gave a bow to Karoso.

She is too scared to come to the battlefield, but when Karoso said there was a chance to make a fortune here, she came.

"Little kid, you’re hiding very well." 『』’s gaze landed on Karoso.

She wanted to pat his head, but she found it was a bit difficult to reach Karoso’s head.

Helplessly, she patted Karoso on the shoulder, "You’re only seventeen and already in the eighth tier. That’s impressive. Honestly, how long ago could you have entered?"

"Half a year ago," Karoso said, "but the teacher is right; it’s always good to settle for a while."

If he had broken through at the right moment, the current Karoso would only have copied the BOSS card, which is still a weaker version.

However, Karoso created something different based on the source of power from the Lord of Eternity.

He realized that following the BOSS card’s method of breaking through completely was actually a mistake, because doing so would stop progress at a certain point, and that limit is the limit of the Lord of Eternity.

Or rather, it is the weaker version of the Lord of Eternity.

To become a demi-god, how many people dream of that? But Karoso has big ambitions; he feels that this is not enough.

"Hmm, that’s good to know," 『』 nodded in satisfaction. "Now tell me, why did you call me?"

"I would like to ask the teacher to come with me to collect a material to create a card," Karoso said.

"Collect a material together? What material?" 『』 was taken aback for a moment.

What materials need Karoso to collect in person?

"Certificate of Immortality." Karoso said seriously, "I know there is a card. Once this card is used, even a normal eighth-tier cannot withstand it, unless it is someone like Celica who can create card effects through sword skills."

"Okay." 『』 didn’t ask what the card was, where the materials were, or how difficult it would be to obtain them.

Every time she made cards with Karoso, she always learned a lot.

Even if Null didn’t let her come, her thirst for knowledge drove her to come, even knowing there might be an abyss ahead.

Yes, it was an abyss because Null felt that Karoso was too dangerous.

Karoso was like a moving natural disaster, everywhere he went there was trouble; either he got into trouble or someone else did, even the whole country could be affected.

"Certificate of Immortality, how does that sound related to the Lord of Eternity?" Teresa touched her chin and asked, "Where will you go to get it?"

"It’s not just me and Teacher 『』; all four of us will go." Karoso pointed at 『』, then at Teresa, and then at Kirmin.

"Why is this still about me?" Kirmin was taken aback.

"Fighting is not just on the front lines," Karoso smiled and said, "A group of my friends taught me that putting everything into the front line is the silliest choice for winning a war."

"Our army is like a nail, it is our strength. What we need to do now is to go behind enemy lines and help the people of Pande."
