Lord of the Truth

After the end of the battle of the Azil tribe, Caesar was appointed to accompany Richard and show him the lands of the vast Empire. Months had passed since that day, and Caesar had already completed his mission and dragged Richard behind him everywhere.

But one month ago, Caesar received a letter from a shadow sword informing him that His Excellency was beginning preparations for a huge war in Nihari and that he would be summoned at any time, so he cut the extended vacation short and accompanied Richard to the imperial capital.

The city mayor and the Burton elders came out to receive Caesar in a grand manner as Robin's adopted son and the supreme general of the Empire, but when they learned that Richard was with him, this reception turned into a festival.

His Majesty the Planetary Emperor's only son, Richard Burton, has returned!!

Celebrations swept the capital for seven full days, during which high-quality food, pearls, and even newly invented pills were distributed in the streets at the expense of the imperial treasury. Everyone important to the family came forward to get to know Richard, some of them even claimed to have seen Richard with his own eyes when he was young!

A pure smile appeared on Richard's face throughout his stay in the Imperial City, watching the family's boys training and the young girls playing. He felt true joy in the hearts of those people whom he had never seen before.

However, on the day that Caesar was summoned to command the army, Richard disappeared from the imperial city.

*CRACK* *CRACK*

Richard cut a few more wooden boards with his broken axe, then sat down, pulled one of the boards to his lap, and began moving a small knife up and down to smooth the boards by hand like a mortal.

The sound of crows was the most common here, followed by the sounds of hissing snakes, the scribbling of scorpions, the faint footsteps of spiders, centipedes, and anything that is harmful or poisonous!

The aura of doom and death surrounding this city had already been dense since the day of the massacre, and now, after thirty years, that ominous aura had become denser and more dangerous. Ordinary mortals could no longer enter here even if they wanted to.

Perhaps the reason is the amount of blood that the ground has drunk, or perhaps it is Robin's decision to turn the entire city into a cemetery, thus disconnecting it from the outside world. Whatever the reason, this place resembles more and more the dark ruins in which Theo was lost when he was young, slowly turning into a land of death forbidden to anyone who is weaker than a certain level.

The only thing that has not made the city a haven for all kinds of beasts until this moment are the guards, and rare visitors like Richard, but they cannot prevent these harmful insects and birds from entering...

After Richard finished smoothing a few boards, he raised his face towards the sun faintly appearing from behind the fog, took a deep breath of Jura's heavy air, then exhaled it, and looked at two adjacent graves with a smile, "Haaa- Peace, how beautiful...

Mother, Grandmother, you have a nice place here, you wouldn't mind me staying with you, right?"

In the face of complete silence from the two graves, Richard smiled and shook his head and then began to drag the boards one after the other towards a small, unfinished hut, and began to patiently hammer the nails with the back of his axe *baa* *baa*

Richard has already decided to stay here.

The journey with Caesar across 4 planets was truly educational, teaching him that he does not belong anywhere, has no desire for anything, and has no motivation to do anything...

Staying here in silence and peace, something he hadn't had for decades, would be a good chance at least.

'Let whoever fights to fight and whoever burns burn, I have nothing to do with anything after today.' Richard said these words when he came here a few days ago, immediately after that he took off his royal clothes that Caesar had brought him and put on a rag he found half-buried, it was barely large enough to surround his private parts. Then he found axes, weapons, and armor, which he cut and turned into nails. Then he began to build the hut in which he decided to spend the rest of his life.

But at this moment, Richard's ears were interrupted by words that broke the silence: "Haha, I told you, getting rid of the guards was the hard part, now it's only smooth sailing!"

"Yes, our next supposed target is in the inner city near that butcher's Palace."

"The specs are an enclosed metal warehouse large enough to hide a space portal. This won't be difficult hehe."

"Hmm?" Richard furrowed his eyebrows and then passed a green flame underground. After a while, Richard's face appeared on one of the buildings, only to see 5 people flying towards the middle of the city at high speed, all of them were Saints.

"Lieutenant, this is the last space portal, right? If there is one we don't know about, the worst could happen." One of the five saints expressed his doubts

"Haha, who do you think we are? Everything small and large on the five continents passes through us first, every ore that is transported, every Rune Master that leaves his family, every blacksmith closes his shop, everything passes before our eyes. How could they have prepared portals without us, the people, knowing?"

"We are the people!"

"We are the people!" The other four cheered behind the lieutenant

"Hmm? There it is! Hahaha, this is too easy." Someone pointed towards a huge metallic structure, slightly damaged but with clear features, and the space portal was visible inside it.

*swoosh**swoosh*

They all stopped in front of the building, and one of them pointed, "What now? We won't be able to destroy this Devil's Bow with our strength alone. The Butcher made it to be extremely

Durable."

"Hmph." The lieutenant smiled then took out an elliptical device from his pocket, and crushed it *bzzzz*

Minutes later, a gigantic flying ship shaped like a snake appeared over Jura City.
