Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 327

Philip maintained his smile, aristocratic insincere one, and asked Roya, "How far can you go?"

"Which step?" Roya thought for a moment and said directly, "Restore your former glory? Weren't you demoted to this remote and impoverished place?"

Philip was quite remarkable in his youth, especially in the political arena.

However, who can truly understand the affairs between nobles and royalty? Judging from Philip's current state, it's clear he suffered a major setback, being kicked out of the power center of the Kingdom of Asura. In ancient China, this would be a typical case of demotion.

Philip is definitely not that old now; it's hard to say if he's even thirty. You have to understand that in this era, nobles usually got married and had children around fifteen or sixteen.

Yet, at such an age, he can only spend the rest of his life in this kind of place.

Any normal person would have some other thoughts.

The appearance of Roya showed Philippe many possibilities.

Philip picked up the black tea on the table, took a small sip, and enjoyed the bitterness and aroma of the tea.

Roya stared at Philip without saying a word, wanting to see what kind of request Philip would make.

"What are your plans? How far do you intend to go?"

He even started using honorifics, showing that Philip had become quite serious at this moment.

Luo Ya said directly, "Regarding the next heir, I think the current Second Princess is quite good."

"Oh? Is it Ariel Anemoi Asra? Your idea is quite bold. If I'm not mistaken, not many people, whether from the royal family or the nobility, are willing to support her."

Philip's expression remained unchanged, still bearing that same smiling look.

However, when Philip asked the question, Roya simply replied, "I support it, isn't that enough?"

"I see. So you want to control the entire Kingdom of Asura?"

Philip instantly understood Roya's intention.

He hesitated, a rare occurrence for him. Philip asked, "The water god is in the capital; they won't allow you to do this."

Roya didn't speak, but simply looked at Philip with a calm gaze.

Philip continued, "Whether it's the eldest prince or the second prince, they will both try to stop you."

Roya's expression remained unchanged. The so-called obstruction was nothing but a joke in front of a sword god who had stepped into the divine realm.

Philip understood the young man's meaning, and a smile returned to his face. Philip nodded and said, "Indeed, so what do you need me to do?"

"A title? I need a legitimate identity."

"Oh? I remember your father, Paul, was a nobleman. Why don't you look for him?"

Before Philip could finish speaking, Roya interrupted him, saying, "Paul is just a minor nobleman in the countryside now, let's not talk about that."

Philip nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "What do you think of my daughter? I can marry her to you, so you can act in my name."

Philip made a suggestion, which wasn't very good, at least it wasn't the optimal solution, but Philip still made it.

When Philip said those words, Alice, who had been sitting obediently on Roya's lap, froze instantly. Her muscles tensed, and her face turned bright red. Unlike other girls, Alice didn't flinch. Although she wanted to escape and blame her father for saying such things, her first instinct was to turn her head and look at Roya.

Roya smiled faintly, then reached out and pressed down on Alice's head, preventing her from turning it around.

Alice protested, but it didn't change anything; the boy's hand was still gripping Alice's head.

Philip smiled as he watched their actions, maintaining his usual nonchalant demeanor. He simply said, "My daughter likes you very much, doesn't she? You bring her happiness, and this incident just happened. Perhaps we could resolve both issues while we're at it?"

Rudius glanced at Alice beside him, then at Roya, and fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he really didn't expect things to turn out this way.

However, it was clear that Alice had an almost obsessive adoration for Roya, so this development wasn't surprising. He was just wondering why Philip would bring it up at this time.

Roya did not answer immediately, but instead asked Alice.

"What do you think, Alice?"

Alice's brain briefly went blank when she was suddenly called out. Although her brain didn't react in time, her mouth was faster than her brain, and she replied directly, "I think it's okay."

After the girl finished speaking, she fell into a long silence.

Even when Luo Ya let go this time, she didn't turn her head. She just gripped her cotton armor with both hands, and you could feel that the muscles all over her body were even more tense.

This is the kind of reaction a soldier would make only in the face of extreme danger.

However, the fact that Alice would turn into this state because of such a question left Roya feeling both amused and exasperated.

She was waiting for Roya's answer, as was Philip. Rudius raised an eyebrow, mentally calculating how many sisters-in-law he would have in the future. After a moment's thought, he too was waiting for Roya's answer.

As a result, everyone's attention was focused on Roya.

Philip thought that Roya might think about it for a long time, or even refuse, since there had been several attempts to test the waters before, and Roya had always been in a state of neither taking the initiative nor refusing.

However, this time Roya only thought about it for a moment before saying directly, "Okay, I also like Alice very much. I would feel a little sad if I saw Alice marry someone else."

Rudius's expression was starting to betray him; he wanted to laugh, but dared not.

He feared that if he smiled, he would face the righteous iron fist of his future sister-in-law.

He suppressed his laughter so hard he almost injured himself.

There are quite a few girls around Luo Ya. His former master, Luo Qixi, the girl who suddenly appeared, Kanroji Mitsuri, and Alice, there are at least three of them on the surface. Based on his understanding of Luo Ya, there must be many more behind him.

At that time, Alice wasn't facing a group of people vying for her affections.

For some reason, he just wanted to laugh in this situation.

Unlike Rudius, Alice was overjoyed. Her tense body slowly relaxed. Alice didn't say much. She lowered her head, jumped off Roya, and her shoes made a crisp sound on the floor. Alice took a deep breath and then ran away.

Alice got the answer she wanted, but that courage deflated like a punctured balloon the moment Roja uttered those words.

Alice didn't turn around and rushed into her room. A moment later, the sound of the door slamming shut could be heard.

Luo Ya shrugged, watching the girl who had already disappeared from sight, without stopping her.

Philip remarked with considerable emotion, "I never imagined my daughter could be shy."

Rudius chimed in, "Yes, I've never seen her blush."

Roya didn't linger on the topic of Alice, but instead asked directly, "So, shall I enter the city under your name? As for Alice's marriage, let's wait until she's a little older."

Philip nodded, indicating that he had little objection to the answer.

After the meeting concluded and he achieved the desired outcome, Luo Ya decided to set off.

Philip, unusually, tried to persuade him to stay, and the refined and easy-going young nobleman said earnestly, "Why don't we wait until winter is over before going? The situation in the capital is still relatively peaceful."

Luo Ya casually replied, "I'm just going to take a look. I'll come back if anything happens."

At this point, Roya extended his left hand, and on the index finger of his left hand was a magnificent ring that was shimmering with a blue light.

That was clearly the traveler's fantasy.

Ever since Roya turned the ring up to its maximum power and poured magic into this artifact, the ring began to show some changes.

The ring emitted a blue light. Roya infused it with magic, making the light softer and brighter. The blue luster filled the entire room, dispelling the chill of winter.

Philip watched Roya's actions curiously and asked, "What are you doing?"

Roya didn't hide anything and said directly, "I've marked a coordinate here. If needed, you can use magic to instantly return here."

Philip's eyes lit up, and the meaning of that was self-evident.

The territory of Fituia is secure; no one will dare to covet it anymore.

The sheer power of a swordsman who can appear at any time is self-evident, as it intimidates other nobles.

Unless Roya dies, or becomes too old to lift a knife, no one would want to offend such a person for no reason.

Roya glanced at Philip, who was secretly pleased, but didn't say anything.

Since they are Alice's family, we should help them if we can, so that when it comes time to settle scores, we don't end up wiping out all of Alice's family.

The azure glow emanating from the ring quickly dissipated. As Roya infused it with magic, three coordinates instantly appeared in his mind.

One of the coordinates isn't far away; it only takes a little magic power to reach it.

That was Paul's house.

The other is in the Holy Land of Swords, which is a bit far away, so it will naturally require more magic power and take longer to prepare.

The Traveler's Fantasy can be set to six locations, and even though it can only be used once a day, this kind of ultra-long-distance teleportation that ignores distance is already quite incredible.

Almost anywhere in the world Roya can appear whenever he wants.

After doing all this, Roya did not linger. He simply said a few words of farewell to the others and then left the territory of Fetoia.

Roya began its march toward the capital.

The Kingdom of Asra, the oldest human regime and the world's largest nation, consisted of the Asra Royal Territory, four major territories, and numerous territories of minor nobles. Due to the Laplace Wars, most human nations outside the Kingdom of Asra were destroyed, and the remaining surviving nations are mostly young, newly emerging states.

The royal capital, Ars, which is also the capital of the Kingdom of Asura, is named after the hero "Ars".

The main dojo of the Water God Sect is located there, and the current Water God also resides there.

The Water God and the Sword God have been vying for the Holy Land of Swords for many years. Although the Water God has never been a match for the Sword God style, this does not mean that the Water God style is weak. It is simply that the Water God style's sword moves are too obvious.

The philosophy of the Water God School is to counterattack. As long as the opponent makes a move and triggers a counterattack, the opponent's head can be cut off in an instant.

The Water God Style has both obvious advantages and disadvantages. Its advantage is that it can be used to defend against and counter both magic and swordsmanship.

The disadvantage is also very clear: if you are facing a master of the Water God style, as long as you do not take the initiative to attack, the Water God style's counterattack will not be triggered. This is why the Sword God repeatedly emphasized when teaching Alice and Roya that if the opponent is the Dragon God, you should never take the initiative to attack.
