The Rise of the Black Plain

When they heard the voice of that level 81 man, those people native to the area and part of the Black Plain Army soon understood what this was all about.

Grant's stories had already become famous among the soldiers of this organization, considering that he was the imperial instructor and the teacher of hundreds of local experts. His stories also entertained many young army members who liked to dream of absurd things and potential revenge.

As such, when his name was mentioned, almost half of the people there looked in the direction of the headquarters, where that man was supposed to be.

"Grant Yates?" Minos said as he also understood what this was about. "What do you want with him? If it's not a problem, I'd like to know. Grant has been one of us for several years now and has had several deadly experiences on our side."

Grant had his spiritual cultivation crippled. But the body of a level 70 Spiritual Saint, as was his case when he was crippled, was stronger than that of a level 59 cultivator. Thus, after having his limbs regenerated by Dillian, this man battled a few times alongside the local forces.

The woman then said. "Your Majesty, we cannot give all the details since this is a Quinn family matter. But as you may already know, Grant was one of the emperor's subordinates. So this is about his responsibilities to our organization."

The man in front of the mercenary said. "Grant is not in trouble if that's what you want to know. But he has to return to the empire..."

"Now that we are here, I think his current situation will no longer be a problem to his return."

Minos already knew about the letter that Grant had sent by one of the mercenaries he had hired. So it was not a surprise to him that these people were there behind that old fellow and with knowledge regarding the imperial instructor's situation.

'Did he attract the attention of the imperial family of this state?' Minos frowned, a little uncertain about this, considering how unbelievable Grant's story could appear.

Minos himself had only believed it because of the prediction Henricus Longus had made in the remote past. Therefore, he judged that others without the same knowledge as him would hardly believe it.

But since he could not come up with anything to justify some unbelievable plot involving this family, Minos did not think the worst of these people.

"I see... Well, Grant is busy at the moment. So why don't you two accompany me while someone goes to get him? We can talk for a bit before we move on with your purpose here." He suggested as he showed the inside of his palace to these people with a gesture.

Considering that Minos was still a mystery to organizations outside the northern region, that woman accepted Emperor Stuart's invitation, even considering that she could 'pick up' Grant from where he was.

'Let's get to know this person a little before we leave.' She said to her companion while using a mental transmission, a form of communication of high-level cultivators.

'All right.'

The two walked away from that Spiritual Saint who had been serving as a guide to them and soon walked to where Minos was pointing.

The level 78 elder next to Minos then asked. "Your Majesty, what are we going to do? We won't be able to stop them from doing what they came to accomplish here."

"Hmm, that's right. We have no way to do anything." Minos smiled bitterly. "But Grant called these people on his own, so he can only regret the situation in case something he didn't plan to happen..."

"In any case, we won't do anything today. We will just accept what they have to offer."

That elder sighed in relief upon hearing that, soon beginning to walk alongside Minos and this fellow's wives near those Spiritual Sages.

"So, Your Majesty, where did you get the architect who developed this city? I feel at home here." The woman commented to Minos as she looked into his brown eyes.

Minos had heard questions like that from many people over the years and said. "I didn't copy either your state or the Eastern Empire, senior. I just dreamed about an ancient place, and such a thing inspired me to reproduce that in my city."

"But I haven't finished my work yet, haha."

'A dream?' The two looked at Minos with interest, not finding it impossible that this happened since there were all sorts of strange abilities in this world.

As the two looked at Minos, suddenly, a high-pitched, childish voice distracted the two. "Hey! Hey! Look at me!"

"Are you stronger than my dad?" Sarah asked as she ran to the side of the level 82 woman, interested in finding out about it.

She saw her father daily going about his business and sometimes even training. In addition, this young girl constantly heard rumors of how strong Minos was. Hence, she was curious about the strength of the people who interacted with her father.

"I have never met anyone stronger than my father. Are any of you like that?" She asked as she ignored the rest of the people there to look at the beautiful face of that blonde woman.

Gloria was about to run to get her daughter. Still, Minos held one of her wrists, indicating to let Sarah continue.

That woman looked at the little being less than a third of her height and smiled. "You've never met? But what about this old man? Isn't he stronger than your father?"

"No. Elder Theo claims to be stronger than my dad, but it is a lie. I saw it when dad showed him his weapons, and the elder was afraid." She said innocently. "Everyone gets scared when dad gets serious."

Some people in the surrounding area laughed as the elder Theo looked at Sarah, feeling that he had suffered a defeat for a child under 5 years old.

As he looked down at the ground in shame, those two experts looked at Sarah with interest, judging whether she was serious or making her father's accomplishments bigger.

"Sarah, you shouldn't keep bothering visitors like this." Gloria released herself from Minos and walked over to her daughter. "Haven't I told you not to keep asking these questions?"

"But mom..."

"That's fine." The level 82 woman said. "You're right, little Sarah. There is no one stronger than your father. You should be proud of him."

Sarah looked at that woman from her mother's arms and smiled happily, feeling that her father was the best.

With that, Minos nodded to that person, feeling that she had done something positive for Sarah, even without needing it.

Because of this, he felt much more comfortable with these people, knowing that Grant's trip would probably not be problematic.

'Well, when it is time for me to look at the North Sea, I can visit that state and see if he will still be interested in joining me on this journey...'
