"Talisman.. talisman.. not bad. This talisman of yours will change the course of future wars. young man, You have every right to be proud of yourself." Galan patted his shoulder.
"It's only the beginning," Robin smiled. "I have a small request, I hope everything between us remains a secret, at least temporarily."
"that's normal, don't worry, no one will utter a word, I promise you this... But what about your family and the Duchy of Alton? I don't want a headache from them."
"That's easy, I'll just announce that I'm comfortable here at your institution and don't want to leave, as long as I'm being seen in public healthy and kicking they won't have an excuse to attack you, but..Ahem, I'll keep a good relationship with my family in case you decide to play any tricks on me."
Everyone was surprised by Robin's response, he was talking to the Duke like he was his old classmate! "Haha, as usual, honest to the point of rudeness, well then.. so be it!
Also, you don't need to worry about revenge from Marquess Rufus after what Caesar did to his son, I'll talk to him and end the quarrel once and for all."
"Excellent! Oh, one more thing.. I expect you to raise our allowance to 1000 gold coins per month, this will help me do more research freely."
"argh... alright!"
Robin nodded then moved to leave, Caesar followed tightly behind.
while everyone was busy in his thoughts, Mila was busy looking towards the back of the teenager walking in front of her.. he is neither an ancient sage nor a supernatural being...
he is a young man of her age, but he has already contributed to their army far more than she did, and contributed to the progress of the whole world more than all her predecessors combined...
------------
"Big brother, why did you tell them it was the red rabbit's hide? Can't they now bring similar hides and try to re-draw that flame pattern on it? They will surely try to steal your invention," Caesar mentioned worriedly after they got out of Mila's mansion.
"Haha, you mean that flame drawing? let them do as they please, what makes the talisman special is invisible to the naked eye! that flame drawing was randomly drawn.. just a distraction to waste their time on it, and also to differentiate between the types of talismans."
"…invisible? Can the real pattern ever be discovered?!"
"It could... Maybe the Flame Emperor or someone of his bloodline could break the code If he worked on it for some time, but then I'd have moved on to invent something better hehe."
Caesar sighed in relief, he was overthinking. How could he have thought of something that his big brother hadn't thought of?
-----------
When Robin returned, he found Peon has finished cleaning house 208, so he ordered Caesar and Peon to move there...
Theo will move when he comes out of his isolation.
And that Zara stays with him to continue practicing her drawing, but goes to sleep at house 208 with her brother every evening.
after he eventually had some peace in the house he sat down and started planning his course for the next period.
Today's events compressed his schedule a lot, and his previous plan of staying low key is no longer available, especially after the talismans appear in the first battle.
After thinking for a while and getting his subjects in order, he decided to start drawing the talismans required of him for this month.
Although the work of the talismans seemed complicated to the Duke and everyone that was present there, it was actually quite simple.. All Robin had to do was draw a part of the fire pattern - the part responsible for causing the explosions - then use a trick he devised based on the perfect law of fire to make the pattern disappear inside a piece of skin.
The whole process barely requires a few minutes!
So, in practice, Robin could make the 100 talismans in two or three days, but he refused to increase the number he sold to the Duke in order to keep him hungry for more, as long as possible.
--------
The next few days saw new news spread like wildfire throughout the Duchy, and quickly found its way all over the kingdom..
*A super young man named Caesar Burton, thirteen years old and at level eight, can jump levels to defeat those at the tenth level easily*
the age combined with the high level and the formidable combat power gave Caesar an aura of mystery and prestige.. this is the number one genius of the kingdom's young generation!
No... he is the best in the past two centuries at least! surpassing even the famous lady Mila Bradley!
Then another piece of information that shook the whole kingdom was released... it was confirmed that Caesar was just a mortal a year and a half ago.
If his first characteristics were enough to make him an absolute genius, this piece of information made him a living legend!
Strange rumors and legends began about him, while he was sleeping snoring in House No. 208,
as it was happening at this moment at the Alton duchy...
"You know? I heard that Caesar Burton's mother was a goddess and his father was a demon."
"Stop your nonsense, there is no such thing! I heard his mother carried him for 5 years and feed him the blood of beasts instead of milk."
"Wow really?!"
"Hey, who mentioned Burton? What are you talking about?"
"Didn't you hear, brother? There's a guy named Caesar Burton that showed up in the Duchy of Bradley, he's legendary! you know? Someone at the tenth level provoked him while he's just a little stronger than a mortal, and what was his response? he set a date for the fight in one year.. just one year!!
In the fight he displayed his crazy cultivation speed and unrivaled combat ability, he defeated his opponent in a ferocious manner then shoved a damn iron staff in his ass in front of everyone!! Haha, he's amazing!" everyone got fired up again, they won't get bored of this story until a very long time,
No one noticed that the man who asked for Burton's name just now has vanished...
That man's name is Jule Burton.
And what he just heard was tremendous news that must be conveyed to the elders of the family immediately!
