I had to go to the Temple in the City of Shadows to find Lilian who was praying in front of an empty plinth with the name of the Blood Goddess Selene written on it.

I waited a few minutes until she finished praying to talk to her, then we walked to a meeting room that is here in the temple.

"What do you wish, Holy Son?"  (Lilian)

"For starters, would you please stop calling me Holy Son? Call me Zenos or master like the others, anything would be less shameful."  (I)

"There is no shame in being the youngest Son of the Great Goddess Selene, besides I don't know if I can stop addressing you as I have, it's an almost automatic reflex."  (Lilian)

Sigh

"..." (I)

"Master, I don't think you came to Lilian because of this, right?"  (Orion)

"Considering our current situation, I think I should cut to the chase."  (I)

"The port city a little further ahead is on fire, I used Layla to see what was happening and it looked like a battle was going on all over town."  (I)

"That was fast, I knew it wouldn't last, but it was still a lot faster than I expected."  (Lilian)

"Did you know this was going to happen?"  (I)

"The Dark Continent is not a very safe place, especially for people of weak will, the lesser Realms are always in the hands of greedy people with no true ability."  (Lilian)

"Even if there are suitable people to rule, if you are not capable enough, you will just be another dead King in history."  (Lilian)

"This port city is the only city in your Kingdom, in the last 100 years this Kingdom must have changed Kings dozens of times by my count, but the current King must have been very bad since he didn't stay on the throne even for 1 year."  (Lilian)

"You mean this is a coup d'etat to steal the throne?"  (I)

"I suppose so."  (Lilian)

"Did you see if they were people in the same armor fighting each other?"  (Lilian)

"Yea."  (I)

"That means it's definitely a civil war for the throne."  (Lilian)

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, she would normally give it away about something like this.

Erica has told me before that on the Morror Continent the small Kingdoms often get into wars, is this an inquiry that happens there too?

Now that I think about it, this explains why there were no civilians in the city, it also explains how they managed to evacuate the city to a safe place, they are already used to these things and are prepared to protect themselves if necessary.

"That explains the civilians I saw."  (I)

"Did you see people protecting themselves?"  (Lilian)

"If I'm not mistaken, it must be in a clearing near the city gates, there are also boats in the harbor that must be on the outskirts seeing everything from a safe distance."  (Lilian)

"Exactly."  (I)

"You don't have to worry, we'll just have to wait for the battle to end, it should take another 3 or 4 days."  (Lilian)

"Wouldn't it be better to go to a safer harbor?"  (I)

"Yes, but it would take more than a week to get to another one, that would be the best place for us to go, actually this could be a great opportunity."  (Lilian)

"Like this?"  (I)

"Afterwards they will be short of goods like weapons, potions, food, etc."  (Lilian)

"So first-timers will make a high profit selling everything at double the price, plus the losers' belongings will be confiscated and can be sold as well."  (Lilian)

"They will need money quickly to recover and strengthen before another Kingdom attacks or another greedy people try to take the throne."  (Lilian)

"I'm going to talk to Nira and Ivan about it, plus I'm going to ask Anton and Lyra to start making things that we're going to sell."  (I)

"Didn't you say we had too much money?"  (Orion)

"I do, but if we have an opportunity, then it would be a waste not to take it."  (I)

After talking to Lilian I went to talk to the others about it, Nira ran to Lilian to ask about things like market prices on that continent to have a basis for thinking about the prices I would put on the products we are thinking about of selling.

Lyra started the potions factory with the help of her two assistants and the other employees she hired, Anton was happy to hear that there is a place to sell the weapons and armor his employees have been making, it looks like he already had thousands of weapons in stock in storage items.

It seems like Anton has been leaving the normal weapons to others to do and has been focusing only on special weapons.

After we got close to the harbor we stopped the ship and waited like many other boats, I realized we were attracting attention but kept my mask in place.

Lilian came to me to talk to me.

"Holy Son, I know you're worried that your appearance or that of others will draw unwanted attention, which can cause some problems."  (Lilian)

But on this continent, sincerity has great value, that's because each person's actions and words say a lot about their pride." (Lilian)

"Hiding your appearance will make a bad first impression on people."  (Lilian)

"So you think showing our faces is going to be less trouble than wearing masks?"  (I)

"Yea."  (Lilian)

I reflect on what Lilian said, but I decide to follow her advice, that's because she knows this continent better than I do, she knows what she's talking about there.

I take off my mask and call the Fairies through the portal in my shadow and tell them to warn others not to wear masks.

As our trip was over I decided to stop wasting my time fishing and went back to training, there are many elements that I still don't know how to control, besides I have a lot to study about magic and spiritual runes.

I know I have a lot to do, but I also can't forget about my combat training in the morning.

With my training routine back on track, I still had other things about the City of Shadows to take care of, but for that, I decided to assign some people to government jobs.

I put Ivan as my advisor, I put Freya as my secretary, and I put Elsaris in charge of intelligence, in other words, espionage.

Now, all we have to do is wait a few days until this battle is over and enter the city to solve what we want before we start our journey through this new continent.
