Arlesk had already finished his paperwork to the point where he has nothing to do already. With free time in his hands where the girls engaged to him are somewhat busy, we went towards Quisterion and met Ulysses and Pantheon discussing something serious. "Yo, I don't often see the two of you together." Arlesk laughed a little as he greeted the two heroes. "Ah Arlesk, we just got news that you're engaged with the Princess of Luventrion, congrats man." Ulysses quickly congratulated him without hesitation. "Ah damn, even here huh?" Pantheon simply laughed off his slight irritation. "Of course it would be! An engagement to an Archon is basically the same as getting the best possible life. Or that's what nobles think of it. The nobles in my country aren't opposed to when Matilda got engaged with Draxus. Due to how he fought against the men of Bovoyna, they were a bit skeptical at first, but after being shown that he can truly fight against one of the stronger heroes in this world, they had nothing else to say." Pantheon explained why their country isn't getting that much trouble recently, but he added the fact that due to Draxus's influence as an Archon, nobody dared to think about laying their hands on the royal family. "In my case, there was a bit of a scuffle at first because they were engaged when Drax was still recently summoned. But after that great battle with my party when even though he hasn't unlocked his full potential yet. It was truly amazing how powerful the archons are now. The reformation of the government here made it clear to the nobles that they can't just do whatever they wished. By the way, I heard about the battle recently where you tested your new equipment? I remember it had divinity in the reports." Ulysses had loosened up as he began asking Arlesk about the new equipment he's taken in. "Ah it's technically divinity, but it's assisted by cybernetics so I won't get compensated for using it. But technically, it just enables me to fight at perfect condition with a certain set of abilities. Anyways, that's not what I came here for." Arlesk quickly explained what he remembered as he brought out a piece of paper for both Pantheon and Ulysses to read. "A report about a deep crystal mine in the country of Bovoyna? This may be the first time I've heard of this." Ulysses quickly made comments where he had no idea about what was written in the report. "This was found by Jaquinn only recently in his surface expeditions. He said that he found a huge area that seemed to be like a mine that goes way too deep into the underground depths. And it was said that it was abandoned ever since an incident a couple thousand years ago. So my plan is to use the leverage as an investigation to this mine and what it could hold in it." Pantheon pondered slightly as to why Arlesk decided to tell them. He was somewhat unsure on whether this can be used as a leverage to form an alliance with a former enemy, but a path to World Peace is never an easy one. "Then why are you telling us this?" Upon hearing Pantheon's question, Arlesk slightly smiled as he offered something. "Wanna join this trip? It's dangerous, but it's gonna be fun as hell."
Back in the castle of Preeliance, Remuel finally had a chance to take a break as there were too many things to work on. "Yo Remuel." Dante entered the break area as he brought in drinks for the researchers to enjoy. "Seems like you're hard at work." Remuel sighed as he glanced over to Dante. "You haven't finished your research right? You're getting close to the deadline you set for yourself." Dante simply laughed off the questioning act of Remuel and slacked beside him. "You see, I kinda got into a slump right when I was about to start making the final experiment comparison, but I just found the breakthrough with the things that are mentioned in the books." Remuel felt slightly interested as he glance over to Victorina and Bethany working together. "First things first, the magic tools that help construction were finished, but I was slightly screwed over due to an overkill effect." Dante then proceeded to explain further about the research he had.
"Honestly, you can actually fix that by adding more regulators so that you can further stabilize the functions of each tool. We'll discuss it further on how to apply these tools to the construction group though." Remuel dismissed the topic with a small idea that could help Dante even further. Feeling relieved, Dante returned to his area to continue the research. "Great work Archon Remuel." Lynx came over and stood nearby Remuel after he finished his discussion with Dante. "Ah Lynx, come." Remuel urged her to sit beside him to which she complied immediately. "It's been a long time since I've come here. Despite not even a year had passed, it still felt like I was living here for eternity." Remuel loosened up as he spoke with Lynx about some sentimental matters. "Maybe life here has been too eventful for you, but every single day I will always await here to serve you." Remuel calmly smiled as he brushed Lynx's hair with his hand. "I'm glad to have everyone beside me, you, Noelle, Victorina, Bethany, despite trying to fix the world from its state of constant wars into world peace, it doesn't feel like a challenge when I'm in this castle. I feel more at home than back in my old world." Remuel then realized something as he felt like talking about it. "By the way, Draxus will be bringing his girls to the world where we came from. After his tour, I promise that I'll bring everyone for a tour back in my world."
Remuel was too busy for a vacation, but he was determined to at least keep his promise to his fiancés.
