"..."
Hearing Kael speak, Enri Emmott fell silent. She was kind, but not foolish. If the first person she saved offered her money or possessions, it could be said to be simple gratitude, as she didn't actively ask for money or possessions when doing so. However, the second person who came to her on their own initiative was trying to promote the event's progress with a transactional mentality. That was already something that had been discussed, so how much gratitude could she truly feel towards it? A bitter, yet honest thought.
Kael saw that she was listening to his advice, so he smiled faintly and continued: "However, your suggestion isn't entirely without merit. Raising the dead is a miracle. As long as it's used correctly, we can indeed gain great fame in a short period."
"How about this? Go see Gazef Stronoff and tell him that tomorrow morning you'll hold a free aid event to help revive some of the victims in this city." Kael gave instructions, his voice calm yet full of authority. "But remember, let Gazef and his team choose the list of people to be resurrected. Also, remind them of the activity's limitations, such as the activity will be held for a certain number of days, the selection of those to be resurrected will be decided through a lottery based purely on luck, and the number of resurrection slots available each day."
"You should understand what I mean, right?" Kael looked at Enri, seeking confirmation.
"Yes!" Enri nodded happily, her eyes sparkling. Her tone was full of enthusiasm. "Rest assured, God. I will take care of this matter."
"Alright, then proceed."
"Yes, God, I'll take my leave now." After Enri bowed respectfully, she turned and left the room, her steps feeling lighter.
Kael watched her departing back and couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Perhaps there were some losses in the outcome of this matter, but it would certainly increase someone's fame. As for the extent to which it could be done, that depended on the actions of Enri and the others. He wasn't overly concerned about it.
After all, he had the power to back him up. If anyone dared to do anything malicious and secretly tarnish the reputation of the Church of Destiny, his magic would be unchallengeable.
"After this battle, the people in the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick should be able to keep quiet for a while. I just don't know what their next move will be," Kael leaned comfortably in the luxurious chair, staring at the ceiling and thinking to himself.
Although Nazarick suffered a defeat this time, considering the temperament of NPCs like Albedo, they would never give up their ambitions to conquer the world for the Supreme Being.
Not only that, as an enemy who had already delivered a heavy blow to them, I must be their main focus and could face their retaliation at any time.
However, in the current situation, Nazarick's development trajectory in the original work had almost no reference value, and Kael could not guess their next movements.
"Forget it. For now, the most important thing is to continue expanding my power. I don't need to think about what they'll do," Kael decided, his voice steady. He took out his notebook from his backpack and stopped after flipping through a few pages.
Most of the pages were blank, with only two circles drawn on them, with names inside each circle: 'Golden Princess' and 'Fluder Paradyne'.
The Golden Princess was the third princess of the Re-Estize Kingdom - Renner Theiere Chardelon Ryle Vaiself. Based on information in the original work, she could almost be said to be the smartest person in the entire New World, with an IQ comparable to Nazarick's military NPC Demiurge, the head guardian Albedo, and the treasury manager Pandora's Actor. If we could subjugate her, it would certainly help in developing our power.
However, her appeal to Kael was mediocre and far less important than Fluder Paradyne. There were two reasons for this.
The first was the Golden Princess's status and power in the kingdom. Although she had a good reputation among the populace, she actually had almost no subordinates or allies among the kingdom's nobles, and she was not on the list of potential heirs to the king's throne. Therefore, she had proposed many good policies to change the situation in the kingdom, but in the end, few of those policies were truly implemented, and most were rejected by the nobles.
The second was the issue of her personal strength, ability, and character. According to Kael, besides her wisdom, which was praised as a miracle in the original novel, there was nothing else interesting about the Golden Princess.
Because she had displayed rare talent since she was a child, but found that no one around her had reached the same level as her, her soul and mind gradually began to differ from ordinary people. Simply put, she felt something new, which was "everyone here is a loser" and "it's so suffocating to live among these fools," and she was born with a self-perception of being superior to others.
To deal with such a person, you can conquer them by force, but it's hard to make them genuinely submit. Therefore, the Golden Princess could be used as a tool, but in Kael's mind, she did not have much value in training.
Frankly speaking, in a world where violence is respected, wisdom is not a valuable thing. The Golden Princess was said to be the wisest person in the world, but in the end, she couldn't even change the kingdom's status quo. In the original work, Nazarick swept through the New World countries, and it was not based on any wisdom or bravery, but simply power so overwhelming that the people of the New World felt despair and could not resist.
Compared to the Golden Princess, the head court Magic Caster of the Baharuth Empire, Fluder Paradyne, was different. Not only was he the strongest Magic Caster in modern times who could use Sixth Tier magic, he also held a very high status in the Baharuth Empire. He was the sixth-generation minister of the empire and the grand teacher of the current emperor.
Furthermore, Fluder was also obsessed with studying magic. As long as your magic level was higher than his, he would even kneel and lick your feet to learn advanced magic. In terms of magic, this old man's achievements were also extraordinary.
Although he was not a Magic Caster specializing in spiritual magic, he was able to use the magical knowledge of the immortal spiritual profession's [Forbidden Arts] to create Sixth Tier longevity magic, allowing himself to live for over 200 years, and there were no signs of his lifespan ending.
Although Kael possessed a high-tier profession called [Grand Saint] and had long since obtained endless life through special skills, he did not need Fluder's longevity magic. However, he still highly valued the old man's ability to research magic.
He had discovered one thing from Enri and the others before, which was that his followers could learn the martial arts of the New World natives and create their own magic, and were not limited by their identity as Yggdrasil players like himself. As long as Fluder's level was raised, he might be able to develop powerful skills comparable to Super-Tier magic in the future.
When the time was right, it would be made into a magic scroll and inscribed in the [Ultimate Magic Codex]. Kael's own strength could also be expanded, which was also a way to continue getting stronger.
Therefore, Fluder Paradyne had to be brought into the fold.
