The Vastness of Magical Destiny

Komer sat absentmindedly in his study, deep in thought. Compared to the crises present in the territories of Caucasus and Homer, his own personal safety seemed in greater jeopardy. He did not believe that the Religious Court and Vazinsky’s faction could tolerate such humiliation, especially those fanatics from the Court. His public emergence was undoubtedly a challenge to their authority; a confrontation was only a matter of time, and that battle would largely determine his own existence.

Rebry must be rescued before that. Since an open confrontation was inevitable, there was no need for Komer to hold back. Overthinking would only hinder him. As long as he could rescue Rebry, Komer believed his own strength could greatly increase. Having a partner who knew everything about the Church of Light by his side, and with Rebry’s analytical and planning abilities, Komer was reassured that in the next fight, Rebry would not disappoint those men.

However, rescuing Rebry would have to wait for a definitive answer from the Salvation Society. As of now, those people had still not responded. Carreila might be a competent Administrative Officer, but his status within the Salvation Society was obviously not high enough to have a say in this matter. The long wait was making Komer impatient, but he had to continue waiting.

"Lord, you called for me?" Maha Gummi always appeared spirited, with the energetic traits of his Half-Beastmen lineage particularly pronounced in this hybrid. Komer even doubted that this man needed rest or sleep. Traveling between Jazair, Homer, and Caucasus, and occasionally personally visiting Poznan and Silesia, but whenever Komer needed him, he was always ready to heed the call.

"Hmm, I want to know about the beastmen’s performance during this period," Komer said without any pleasantries.

"No significant movements, but the migration behavior of the beastmen has been ongoing. As a large number of refugees from the North fled their homes, the beastmen’s takeover has spread from cities to the rural areas. If this continues, I’m afraid the entire northern part of the kingdom will truly become a new homeland for the beastmen, and it may be very difficult to get them to leave later," Maha Gummi knew exactly what his master was concerned about.

"Haven’t the beastmen always been co-opting and buying over the local mortals? Wouldn’t their actions infuriate the mortals?" Komer frowned slightly, noting a new trend.

"There are far too many fleeing refugees, and abandoned lands are everywhere. The beastmen have announced that those who do not return and register their lands within one month will lose their land ownership rights. With such a vast amount of land, they can not only meet the needs of the beastmen immigrants, but they have also portioned some to provide for those poor who stayed without leaving. This greatly alleviates the confrontational mood between mortals and beastmen. The beastmen’s move is quite astute; they are gradually learning the rules of the mortal world and attempting innovations," Maha Gummi unusually used several difficult terms.
