Chapter 655 Returning to Barthmont
As the group came out of the first spatial gate Kolvar created, Evan turned to the man and his son before speaking.
"So, I'd be counting on you guys to help out, you know?"
"What?"
When David questioned what he was on about, Evan gestured to a much calmer Leviah and spoke.
"She was trapped in a Dungeon for millennia. If she's going to have to go to Tarse, she'd need support.
I can handle the funding part of things, but we'd need someone to bring her up to speed on the current state of the Continent, the countries around and stuff like that."
"I extracted information from some of that Dungeon's challengers, and I even collected some maps so I'm not so ignorant of how things are."
Leviah chipped in after Evan spoke, dangling a map she pulled from her Inventory in front of him.
"Good, that means less work for me.
But there's still the part where you have zero idea about the current state of the Tensions between the Tribes in Tarse.
That's where we'd need David's family's information gatherers to come into the picture."
What Evan needed was information, since despite knowing who was an 'Enemy' and not from the game, he didn't know their current state at this time.
Tarse wasn't talked about much at this time during the game so he had zero idea of how things were now.
"I'd also need to explain what timings you are to move, the Dungeons I want you to clear—both for the sake of strengthening yourself and because of the elimination targets who reside there."
When he said 'Elimination Targets', everyone was reminded that Evan's contract with Leviah was basically him ordering a hit on multiple powerful beings in another country.
"These 'Fallen Celestial Deities', you mentioned. Are they-?"
"They are the same ones you know of."
Evan answered Kolvar's question before the man could even complete it, and when the Beast King asked exactly what it was they were doing that made Evan want to eliminate them.
"I've told you guys all I can say regarding the Demonic Hand's plan in Tarse, and from the fact that the Master of Dragondune is a Target, it's clear as day that their plans for Tarse are BIG.
Imagine if this lot who want to drain people for power happen to interfere when we already have our hands full with the Demonic Hand."
"I see."
"I'd eventually have to go there myself since there are some things that can only be handled by me, but to be honest, I'd like my presence there to NOT be known until after I'm done.
If the Demonic Hand finds out I'm in Tarse, things are gonna get ugly."
For the Demonic Hand, Evan suddenly appearing in a place where they had plans for was basically him telling them he was there to disrupt their plans.
To prevent this, they might decide to kickstart the Disaster immediately, without Evan even having the chance to go around and lay his groundwork.
In that case, despite not to the extent they want, the Death Toll would still be in the tens of millions.
But in the end, these were all worries for the future. He was only worrying about it this much because of the Scale of Events.
Evan replied to her while twirling around a 3-D light projection in his palm. The light of remembrance flashed through his eyes and he turned to the woman and spoke once more.
"Also, Pride, I'm going to-."
He suddenly stopped midway, not just his speech but his physical movements stopped as well.
"Should I still be calling you that? I said this earlier but 'Roselia' is honestly a much better name choice than 'Pride', so I'm actually considering switching."
Kolvar created another spatial gate and they entered into it, emerging on the other side with Evan still looking at her and waiting for her answer.
After a moment's pause, the High Demon heaved a light sigh.
'It honestly doesn't matter anymore.'
"All right, I permit you."
"Haha, permit! That's so very much like you."
Evan chuckled when he heard her answer, before swinging his hand over both hers and her brother's shoulders as he continued his earlier statements.
"So, for Roselia and Nadarus over here; I'd be needing you guys to handle the Demons of the Ninth Division members."
More than the contents of his statement, the Demon of Greed was much more concerned about the sudden name switch.
"Dude, you didn't ask for my permission?"
"Huh? Why should I do that?"
Seeing Evan's genuinely confused gaze as he replied, Greed—
Nadarus, felt his brows twitch repeatedly.
"What is this obvious difference in treatment?"
"Don't sweat the small stuff."
Evan casually waved him off, but before the man could say anything again, Evan continued with a little Trivia about Maude Gilatryd.
"She's a Member of the Blealand National Parliament, AND the COO of the Thunder Mining Group."
"...so?"
When Nadarus questioned how this information had anything to do with him, the young Hero grinned and raised his hand, rubbing his thumb over the tip of his index finger and middle finger.
"She's Filthy rich."
"Count me in."
There was zero hesitation in Nadarus' reply, after all, for the man, Wealth was also a Source of Power.
"Haha! I've already Counted you in."
Evan replied right before they entered the Final Spatial gate and re-emerged back in the Barthmont Palace.nove(l)bi(n.)com
