The Vastness of Magical Destiny

"No, Lord, please allow me to express my respect for you in this manner. It’s precisely because of your and your friend’s assistance that my companions and I were able to avoid being enslaved by those brutal nobles again, and there is no such thing as going too far in expressing our gratitude for that."

It was clear that this Half-Beastman had a very straightforward character, but that didn’t mean he lacked intelligence. The fact that he had come to Muscat at such a time was enough to prove to Komer that the man’s vision and breadth of mind were extraordinary.

Komer had never believed in the stereotype that saw Half-Beastmen as dull-witted, slow-thinking, and of low intelligence, who managed to survive on the Continent solely because of their robust physical qualities. Perhaps the Half-Beastmen lacked the cunning of mortals, but that was due to habits formed over a long time. As their contact with mortals grew, and they became increasingly integrated into the mortal world, even Beastmen were gradually adopting mortal ways of life, which in turn subtly influenced their thinking.

The Half-Beastman who rose to his feet immediately gave Maha Gummi an extremely warm and intimate hug, making it evident that their relationship was profound. This was also one of the main reasons why Maha Gummi had recommended him to Komer.

"Please, take a seat, Mr. Dragumo. Welcome to Muscat, and also to Caucasus. However, for various reasons that both of us are aware of, we can only meet in this environment. I hope Mr. Dragumo can understand this limitation."

In dealing with the visiting Half-Beastman Armaments leader, Komer tried to display his civil and polite side. However, the terrifying aspect of a Mage had already deeply ingrained itself in the heart of the Half-Beastman before him, and it was something that could not be easily dispelled, leaving Dragumo with a constant sense of awe in his gaze.

"Lord, please forgive my bluntness, but why are you not willing to attend our consultation meeting? And why do you not wish the outside world to know about your support for us? Perhaps you were previously worried about pressure from Homer, but now that the Bruce Floating Bridge over the Nissai River has been burned down, the Homer People simply cannot cross over. We have already dispatched a troop to guard the Nissai River Bank, and anyone wanting to construct a Floating Bridge to cross the river must first obtain our permission. Leon has already declared independence, and of course, if you, Lord, are willing to join our meeting, I believe my companions and I would all support you as the new Lord of Leon!"
