God of Tricksters

Chapter 1310 Plan

　　”It seems you have woken up. Congratulations.” Theo smiled, staring at Ruth in front of him. After waking up, the others also felt relieved and finally understood what had happened to Ruth.

”Thanks to you. But what should I do after this? You only told me about the requirements,” asked Ruth while placing her hand on the mark.

”To be honest, you first need to understand what kind of Order you have right now.”

”Eh?” Ruth tilted her head in confusion. “Can’t you just see what it is?”

”No.” Theo shook his head. “The mark is there, but we don’t know what kind of Order you’ve got. For example, I saw your mark yesterday. It was a crescent-shaped tattoo… What do you think it is?”

”A bow!” Ruth answered without hesitation. “I wished for that Order.”

”Even if you wish for it, there’s a chance it won’t be that Order. Of course, I will be happy if you get what you want, but I can’t immediately conclude that your Order is Bow.” Theo sighed.

”Why is that so?”

”From my understanding, Order itself is a kind to our dictionary. Just put a single word in it and add “Order” behind it. Right now, you think that mark is a bow, but how about a moon? It looks like a crescent moon, right?”

”That’s true…” Ruth gradually wavered.

”And even if it’s a bow, there’s a chance it can be a snipe or whatever words related to it. Although they’re similar or related, each of them has a different meaning. That’s why the power will vary.

”Hence, you need to do trials and errors to confirm your power. Besides, there’s a reason why I want you to find it out too… It will take six months before your Magic Power turns into another color.”

Theo started explaining about Order. He first mentioned the bridge, the person, and the world analogy.

From this explanation, she could understand the need to confirm her Order. If she didn’t confirm the Order, it was the same as her refusing to acknowledge the bridge despite having been built.

After that, he continued with a few more basic topics. Of course, he didn’t plan to tell her everything yet because he still couldn’t trust her fully.

The lesson took an hour at most, but Ruth felt satisfied with the lesson. Even if she had more lessons, she couldn’t do anything with them because it wasn’t at that stage yet.

Eventually, Ruth left the mansion and returned to the place Chris lent her.

Not long after, Felix came to him to bid him farewell since he planned to leave for training. Although it was sad to know that Felix wasn’t here anymore, he didn’t stop Felix. In fact, he was gratified by Felix’s initiative.

When he was in the room, he was looking at the map. The map was not a random map since there was a huge word on top of the map.

Genoa.

Genoa was a metropolitan city in Italy and the place where the Pata Corporation made their name.

Yes, Theo had started planning to deal with the Griffith Family.

He reckoned there would be three big influences that would be involved in this place. They were his own influence, the Skyward Mercenary, and the Griffith Family.

”This is going to be hard because I can’t really ask for the Wind Emperor’s help anymore. He has helped me so much during the fight against the Death Reaper, so I don’t want to burden him anymore.

”At the same time, the Skyward Mercenary and the Griffith Family have a total of fifty Mythical Rank Experts, in which two of them were a King and the other one was a Saint. It was impossible for me to fight against the Saint…

”Should I ask for Grandfather’s and the pope’s help? Grandfather aside, I don’t think the pope will agree to it since he’s just trying to keep everything neutral. Though, the military will be forced to make a move due to their land being invaded by a foreign power.

”And since I’m planning to make my base there, they will gladly help me to please me. Hence, I can at least ask the military to stop ten Mythical Rank Experts from the Griffith Family. That leaves another twenty…

”Well, there is the War God Family, but I can’t bring too many problems to the War God Family. They don’t owe me anything after all. Though, I can be sure that Grandfather will be willing to help. In other words, Grandfather will be the only person to help.

”Still, he won’t be enough to stop those twenty Mythical Rank Experts at once since their target is to get past him and attack me. Hence, we need more people to handle them… And the worst part is that the Griffith Monster is completely free. Even Grandfather won’t be able to fight against the 8th strongest person in the world… My other grandfather.

”So… I guess I’ll ask the favor from the Sword Saint to stop him. I don’t know about the negotiation, but I’ll need him in this plot. It’s sad that even though I’m a Mythical Rank Expert right now, it’s impossible for me to handle an Authority Level Figure.

”As for the Eilric Family, they won’t have enough time to make a move because they’re not aware of my current identity. Even if they know and move, they will be too late.

”That’s why those twenty Mythical Rank Experts… need to be stopped somehow since Grandfather can stop the Mind Elder. Well, I’ll leave this area for now and focus on the Skyward Mercenary, which will most likely appear at full force during the engagement.”

Theo subconsciously snapped the stick he used to move the pieces around. Just thinking about the Skyward Mercenary made him angry.

”Whatever. I’ll handle the Skyward Mercenary leader… and I should pick Ava up. I can handle the Skyward Mercenary leader by myself, allowing the others to focus on the rest of them. Well, Ava, Felix, and Ruth could handle several of them easily. I have some leeway in this battle.

”It’s better to send some to help on the battlefield then,” Theo muttered, moving one of his pieces to the battlefield between his grandfather and the Griffith Family.
