Lathel couldn’t believe Akna’s reasoning ability. She’s just like Conan; no, she’s even more terrifying than Conan.
He began to feel worried about his future. He started wondering if Akna would be able to find out if he was flirting.
Lathel glanced at Akna; she was also looking at him. Suddenly, Akna burst out laughing: “Hahaha… Young master, you don’t need to worry so much. I’m not so arrogant that I won’t allow you to flirt with other women.”
“I’m just afraid that the women Young Master would like are not good people and will cause you a lot of trouble.”
Lathel hugged Akna: “Aww!! Akna, you are really kind…”
“Young master…” Akna smiled and said: “Master sent this to you.”
As she spoke, she took out a space bag, placed it in Lathel’s hand, and explained: “Inside there are 1,000 Rank C Thunder element stones. Although they are not too precious, she hopes they can help you increase his strength.”
Lathel received the space bag from Akna, nodded, and smiled: “Don’t say that; 1,000 lightning element stones can help me a lot. Akna, send my thanks to Ryne; I will definitely not disappoint her.”
“Uhm! Young master… master, and I both do not expect you to win the championship.” Akna said worriedly: “We just hope you are safe.”
“If you are in mortal danger and cannot resist, then run away. If master can let you live happily for the rest of your life, I can also protect you for the rest of your life.”
Hearing that, Lathel felt extremely warm in his heart: “Don’t worry, I’m a coward, and I’m very afraid of death. If there is danger, I will definitely be the first to run away.”
“Are not!” Akna shook his head: “Young master is not a coward; it’s just… if you don’t have enough ability to face danger without running away, that’s stupid.”
Lathel smiled, gently caressing Akna’s face, not knowing what she was thinking about.
…
Two days passed.
On the third day, Lathel wore a completely different outfit than usual.
He often wears a black and red robe like a magician, which is also extremely luxurious to radiate his aristocratic aura.
But today, he was wearing a neat battle outfit. Long pants with a hunter shirt. Of course, the material used to make this outfit is also extremely expensive and has an extremely high value.
Lathel was the one who requested that this outfit be made. Besides, he also put a lot of magic into his outfit.
In the past two days, he has been actively ‘dual cultivating’ with Iritellis to help himself, but in reality, he just wants to help Iritellis become stronger.
Of course, thanks to that, his strength also increased quite a lot; currently, his level has increased to 33.
…
Name: Lathel
Level: 33
Energy Points: 25,000/30,000
Talent: Earth (C), Thunder (B), Wood (D), Healing (B), Fire (B), Adaptation (B)
Job: Royal Chef (C), Sculpting Master (B)
Function: Simulated space (+); isolation; new functions (82%).
Harem points: Akna (300), Iritellis (750), Others (100).
Worship points: 2,744
…
When Lathel saw the harem points of Iritellis and the ‘Others’ increase, he understood the reason in his heart.
In the past, he has helped Iritellis level up, so her level is actually not much higher than his now.
However, because her level increased, the process of helping him level up also accelerated. Maybe… that’s why Iritellis’ Harem Points increased from 700 to 750.
That proves that Iritellis’ effect on him is great.
As for ‘Others’, perhaps he doesn’t need to explain; everyone understands what it means. Of course… There were five other maids sleeping with him.
As for Akna, her harem points did not increase, but thanks to her, he was able to prepare carefully for this ‘Genius Congress’.
Lathel took a deep breath, then walked to the living room.
At this time, in the living room, Ryne, Catheryne, Iritellis, and other maids were also waiting for him.
Lathel smiled and walked in front of them: “Everyone…”
Ryne moved her fat body like a monster; every step she took made the fatty flesh on her body vibrate violently like an earthquake.
She tried to move that chubby body in front of Lathel, reached out, and gently caressed his face: “Lathel… this time it will definitely be very dangerous; please protect yourself.”
“This is…” Ryne said as he took out a small piece of yellow jade and gave it to him: “There are some resources inside…”
“Mom, this…”
“If you call me mom, then accept it.” Ryne held Lathel’s hand tightly.
Lathel felt the warmth of her hand, and felt warm in his heart. It was the first time he was treated well and given this much attention.
“Thank you, mom.”
“Hahahaha… You are my son; why are you saying thank you?” Ryne patted his head and said softly: “This time, you and Iritellis have to try harder.”
“Uhm! We will… wait!” Lathel suddenly realised something was strange; he immediately frowned and said: “Iritellis and me? Mom, are you misunderstanding something? This time, I must not bring any servants or slaves with me.”
“No…” Ryne shook his head: “She will also participate in the genius convention with you.”
“Heh?!” Lathel shouted: “But… she..”
“Hahaha…” Ryne smiled and explained: “I know what you’re going to talk about. Even though she is over 200 years old, that is in the elf race.”
“For humans, Iritellis is only about 20 years old. Therefore, she still meets the conditions to participate in the ‘Genius Congress’.”
“But…” Lathel wanted to say something, but Ryne interrupted him.
“She possesses the ‘Eyes of Lust’, which is a natural talent that is Rank B or higher. Besides, her level is already 40. Therefore, she has satisfied all the necessary conditions to participate in the ‘Genius Congress’.”
Lathel opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say. After a while, he tried to explain: “But… Mom, you also know that the ‘Genius Congress’ is very dangerous; I’m afraid I can’t even guarantee my safety, so how can I protect her?
Hearing that, Iritellis bowed her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
“Don’t worry.” Ryne smiled and said: “Of course I have given her a plan.”
“She will help you a lot in this genius convention.”
Although Lathel felt confused, if Ryne said so, he didn’t want to ask any more. He trusted Ryne and Akna as if they were truly his relatives.
“Uhm! So… Iritellis.”
“Heh?! Ah.. I… I will definitely protect you well, master.”
“Uhm!” Seeing Iritellis hesitate, he smiled and said: “I will also protect you, because you are my woman.”
Iritellis was startled when she heard that, but she immediately looked worriedly towards Akna and Ryne. But when she saw them also smiling at her, she felt much more reassured.
Suddenly, a kind of warm feeling appeared in her heart, making her feel much more comfortable.
“Young master, let’s go.” Akna now spoke up.
Ryne also nodded and said: “Let’s go, Lathel. No matter what your achievements are, you will always be my pride.”
“I know.” Lathel smiled, then took Iritellis out and into the waiting carriage room.
After entering the carriage, Iritellis sat next to Akna. Both of them were conversing, but he didn’t care as he was focusing on seeing what was inside the space gem that Ryne gave him.
“This…” Lathel was startled; there were many magic scrolls inside, all of them of the ‘single use’ type.
There was an explosive scroll, equivalent to Rank C fireball magic. A mist scroll that could be used to create fog to help him escape.
There was also a scroll of desire that could help him… Okay, he doesn’t want to say more about the use of this scroll.
However, he could see that inside this space gem there were more than 200 scrolls, all of which were ‘single use’.
Although these scrolls can only be used once, their value is extremely high.
For such a scroll, Lathel could guess that its price would be at least 10,000–50,000 gold coins. With more than 200 scrolls, their value can be said to be very huge.
Although they can only be used once and then disappear, in the most difficult situations, they are what can help him escape death.
There were many other things inside, however, he also saw something that caught his attention.
“That is…”
“Young master…”
“Heh?!” Suddenly, Akna spoke up, interrupting his thoughts: “Akna, is something wrong?”
“No, it’s just… I wanted to say something.” Akna said seriously.
Lathel saw that and didn’t think too much, silently listening to what she had to say.
“Young master, this time there will be many extremely powerful people participating. Among them, there are a few figures you need to pay attention to… the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of the Lumiere Church.”
“Even though their level is only around level 40, most magicians that are level 60 or higher are no match for them.”
“Especially the Holy Son, according to our intelligence, we only know that he has two types of Rank A talents. It can be said that everyone believes that he is the strongest genius of this generation.”
“The Holy Son has only been around for less than 3 years. He went from being a normal teenager and follower of the church to becoming a Holy Son in less than 3 years; you have to be really careful with him.”
“I know.” Lathel nodded. Although he felt that the Holy Son was very scary, he needed to win this competition.
That’s why he chose to face the Holy Son instead of running away.
“Next are the members of ancient families. Among them, the most special are Doran and a mysterious woman named Dorothy.”
“And there are a few others; however, the information we have is incomplete. Young master, you must be especially careful. If they come looking for you, you can run away.”
“Don’t risk your life; don’t let your emotions overwhelm your reason; your life is the most important thing.”
Hearing that, Lathel smiled. He gently stroked Akna’s head: “Of course I know that. If I die, surely my Akna will be very heartbroken, right?”
Akna smiled, her face turned red, and she nodded slightly.
“Owner.” Iritellis then spoke: “I will also be very sad and miserable if you die.”
“Ah! Yes…” He reached out his other hand and patted Iritellis’ head: “That’s why… I promise, I will definitely not die.”
