"Most importantly, I won't have several limitations that I normally have, so I think everything will be fine." Lothur said what was not a lie but also hid part of his reality.
He knew he would probably have trouble on this mission because of his various enemies. But besides not having much to do to avoid these threats, he thought he could handle it.
On the other hand, he needed these people to at least leave to do the mission with him and Elke since the academy required a minimum number of members per team. So he would not scare these people with his complex reality just at this moment!
Anyway, the four young men listened to him and believed that Lothur must have his means, which the academy probably did not know about. After all, having cards up one's sleeve in such a world was crucial.
With that, after some conversation about minor details of this mission, they said their goodbyes, arranging to meet in an hour at the academy's exit.
Lothur and Elke went to say goodbye to Annaliese, who was still going about her own routine at the academy.
As for Viktoria, this fellow had already done that in the morning, so he would only see her again when he returned from this trip.
'Viktoria has advanced her body cultivation recently, and Annaliese has risen to level 11 of soul cultivation...' Lothur pondered this after seeing his sister-in-law.
He then noted his and Elke's status before going to meet his group.
[Name: Lothur Ritter]

'Very good. With these statuses, Elke will be safe against opponents and blows from people at the beginning of the 2nd stage.' He was pleased with this woman's progress because of their training and fun.
'And even if someone stronger than that comes along to threaten her, her armor and weapons will help her protect herself.' Lothur remembered the items he had given her after the last time he collected enemy spatial rings.
His eyes then shifted, and he watched in the direction of the many high-level observers in the surrounding area, and he clenched his fists. 'If you get in our way, I will show no mercy.'
After making several of his watchers shiver unconsciously, Lothur met up with his group.
With that, they quickly split into two groups, setting off in two carriages in the direction of the Finn Mountains, which were just over a night's ride away from Peters City.
Due to their situation, Lothur did not get a chance to have some fun with Elke during the trip. Instead, he was preparing to spend the night training and studying alchemy and medicine, those two professions he had less mastery of at the moment.
Julia had seen it all and noticed that Lothur was much more talented than the province's people thought.
'He seems so skilled in those two professions, but he didn't even show them when he competed at the Province Conference...' She tried to disguise her gaze at him, feeling that Lothur was terrific.
Elke noticed her groupmate's interest in her man. Still, she tried to concentrate on her own cultivation, which she needed to focus on to avoid becoming so distant from Annaliese and Viktoria.
'My physical strength will eventually be on the same level as those two because of our method to get stronger... But the soul power of the two is advancing at a rapid pace while I can't evolve due to my cultivation stage.' She pondered before managing to focus her attention on herself.
...
As Lothur's group moved through the narrow pools of land in Linn Province, their enemies were positioned not far from those two carriages.
After days since the incident on his estate, part of the powers that lost their people to Lothur's formations and brutality were finally acting!
The patience of some of the Peters City powers with Lothur had already ended with this young man's recent plots. With that, a large coalition had formed to act against him.
Because members of these powers were studying at the Morning Star Academy and had a way of finding out about Lothur's mission, these organizations had not attacked him before.
They wanted to use this opportunity to act vigorously against Lothur, putting several high-ranking men in the middle of such a person's path.
As planned by people like the Baier family leader, 40 2nd stage cultivators were waiting for Lothur's carriage about 50 kilometers from Peters City.
In that place, rocks as big as houses blocked the narrow dirt track, surrounded by the dense woods of this part of the side forests of Peters City.
On the outskirts, hidden in branches of the tallest trees in the area, were the various experts who wanted the end Lothur's life this night.
Among them, even level 15 patriarchs were there, each eager to finish off the young man who had already shown himself to be much worse than Viktoria.
But unlike Viktoria, Lothur could have no right to be so talented since he did not have the protection of the vengeful Rios family!
As such, they would not fail to act against this troublesome fellow, and since he was crazy enough to leave Peters City, they would use everything at their disposal on this day!
It was just a pity that the Duke of the Province, a Transcendent, had not agreed to join this group... But they had tried to convince such an expert!
"I'll finally be able to wash the hatred from my heart!" Patriarch Baier muttered to himself as he waited for the carriages of Lothur's group alongside his allies.
Hearing that, Patriarch Vogel could not help but agree. In addition to having caused several problems for his family, Lothur had still allied himself with a renegade like Elisabeth.
'Today, I will make him feel what a powerful poison is!' This man clenched his fists, feeling excited to finish this problem that was even distracting his family's attention from House Frost.
House Frost had been acting quietly of late, trying to make new partnerships to better leverage their gains at the Province Conference. Thus, even in this, Lothur was getting in the way of these organizations, and some of the experts there wished to kill him mainly for this.
'The second prince's faction is starting to pressure our group, so we have to get back in control of the situation as soon as possible!' Patriarch Frohberg thought to himself as he saw the lights of the carriages lighting formations of Lothur's group illuminating the path where they were waiting.
With that, it was finally time for these local leaders to deal with the most prominent recent threat to the local balance of the province!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
