Igor nodded with partial understanding, but in truth, he had no idea why Dean Hoffman went around such a big circle to talk about these things. He felt like everyone was waiting for Stan’s discovery, so why suddenly delve into such profound topics? It was quite a leap!
Dean Hoffman’s words were really ant for Governor Rostov to hear.
At that mont, Governor Rostov’s face was ashen, as he pondered over so matters. Seeing the bewildered expressions of the young ones in the library, he couldn’t help but feel a bit moved. Everything he did indeed carried so selfish motives—he wanted to leave his na in the long river of history, but he also genuinely wished to protect his hotown.
He wanted powerful support but didn’t want to be reviled by future generations.
Governor Rostov was a bundle of contradictions; he strolled slowly: "Dean Hoffman, I won’t interfere in Yonder Travel Academy’s affairs from now on. Let the young people realize their potential. As for everything else, leave it to . I won’t let apparent enemies approach this academy. As for the unknown enemy, you must find him, so I can continue. Only then can all of Luona proceed along the right track."
"Rest assured, Lord Governor, we will notify you imdiately if we have news of the enemy."
"Good, I look forward to that day." With those words, Governor Rostov prepared to leave the library.
"Father!" Hustace followed closely behind, "You..."
"Don’t co out. Didn’t you want to beco a scholar? Look, the scholars here are what true scholars should be. Learn well from them."
"Yes, Father!" Although Hustace didn’t understand the finality in his father’s eyes, he seed to see a kind of faith—a commitnt to a cause.
"Godfather!" Perkins also trailed after Rostov.
"Do you still call Godfather? I’ve always regarded you as one of my own children, Perkins. Though you unhesitatingly wanted to go out in the past, I actually secretly tried to stop you."
"I know, I don’t bla you. I now understand why you opposed it. Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter; I’ve learned a lot now. We were too hurried before. Next, we’ll face the coming storm together."
"What do you plan to do? Continue to travel far and wide?"
"No, I will stay in Luona to help you. I will use what I’ve gained all these years to protect this place with you. Father!"
"Good, with your help, I believe Luona will weather the upcoming storm. Although the sky is clear now, danger can be anywhere. The Empire’s Guardian Army is too thinly spread; we need to have other preparations."
"Lord Governor, although I can’t understand what you’re discussing, I will do my best to find the real enemy behind it all, those shadows you ntioned."
"Those are just my suspicions. For now, you still need to explore further. All I can do is support you from behind. Here, Yonder Travel Academy will provide everything you need. As for Guru Mountain, I will also give it attention. Your friend there is a friend to all of Luona."
Igor couldn’t understand why Governor Rostov’s attitude changed so drastically. Perhaps Dean Hoffman’s words carried a certain weight.
What on earth did Dean Hoffman an? Igor began to ponder deeply.
"Sol, I hope you will continue to help , and those bastards who slaughtered your kin—I will surely drag them out. After all, these bastards have turned my League Guard into re shadows!"
"Lord Governor, the Sol Family will continue to serve you. We will avenge our grudges, and we will assist with avenging the League Guard!" Tobin Sol bowed to Governor Rostov.
"Thunder Army..."
"The Thunder Army was ford by you; the command is still yours. I am rely an instructor to train them!" Sol added.
"Good, with the Thunder Army, we have more confidence."
"I’ve already instructed our kin to co to Luona as soon as possible. We’ve decided to rebuild our ho here first," said Stan Sol.
"This way, Luona will have new assurance. The strength of the Sol Family can make the entire Empire tremble!" Perkins said excitedly.
Dean Hoffman stroked his beard. He didn’t want to intervene in anything, but he was pleased with the current state where everyone could unite, each doing what they were supposed to.
Stim and his group were organizing the Travelogue, and Dean Hoffman habitually dozed off again.
Igor and his group were escorting Governor Rostov back. Lord Governor had been away from the City Administrative Office for so ti, and it was probably in chaos now. That transportation minister, Aevernan, might not have the authority to keep Louvkat in line, so in any case, Governor Rostov had to return to the Administrative Office...
Governor Rostov originally wanted to clarify things before leaving, but Dean Hoffman’s words served as a reminder.
At any mont, one cannot seek quick success and instant benefits. The enemy has not truly arrived yet; if he loses his composure now, the consequences are unimaginable. There are many things he must do now, and the most important is to protect all of Luona, the entire Empire, and the entire world! So that the young people can explore and discover freely.
The real enemy has not yet revealed their hand, so they cannot show fear now. They need to continue what they’re doing.
Dean Hoffman’s words had many layers, which, as a politician, he could naturally understand!
Everything will co in ti; there’s no need to rush. Seeking quick success will only lead to self-destruction.
Sitting in the carriage back to the Imperial Capital, Governor Rostov gradually cald down.
Perkins was returning with him. Although his adopted son was not an Adventurer with Class, he had other talents. The things he brought back were very special, so those items also needed to return to the Imperial Capital. After moving all the strange items out of Yonder Travel Academy, Rostov felt his adopted son’s journey was not in vain.
Though it was already late, Rostov still chose to rush back overnight. He needed to implent new strategies; previous ones were too narrow and insufficiently broad. He wanted to extend the entire defensive line, to make everyone in Luona realize that Luona would only stand firm, never retreat.
Everyone in Luona must have a sense of protection, unlike the past when many nobles took their gold coins and families inland at the first sign of enemy invasion...
There was much to do, and now he had to be as down-to-earth as those young people in Yonder Travel Academy...
