Chapter 1425: Chapter 605: Metamorphosis_2

Encountered an elderly man with mobility issues and offered him a helping hand.

This simple act of giving and compassion made Laine feel thoroughly fulfilled.

Upon reaching the destination, it’s uncertain whether it was Laine’s imposing presence or the allure of the Holy Grail Knight Commander’s Badge on his chest, making the Holy Grail Knight seem like a benevolent soul.

The old man suddenly clutched his chest, grabbing Laine’s hand, refusing to let him leave at any rate.

Soon after, seven or eight members of the old man’s family suddenly rushed out, surrounding Laine and his wife, asking for five hundred gold crowns.

Seeing this, Laine couldn’t help but smile.

The Emperor taught him early on that money does not solve the fundamental problems.

He quickly issued an order, immediately summoning Fugen’s subordinates, who were recruiting in Brunswick, including the Kislev Winged Cavalry Legion General "Steel Felix."

The stern, impartial Winged Cavalry General Felix swiftly arranged a one-way ticket for the old man to Lustria, covering food and accommodation.

Perhaps the old man never dared to dream that while he was still performing on the streets this morning, he would soon be boarding a ship to enjoy the finest medical care Lustria has to offer.

But Laine worriedly thought that maybe the old man’s family couldn’t even afford the fare to Lustria.

The Duke of Musillon couldn’t hold back his compassion, decisively arranging for the old man’s family to serve as sailors and workers in the Knightly Holy War Army’s expedition to Arabi, with a monthly salary twice what they’d earn now, and the chance to reunite with the old man in Lustria.

No longer needing to eke out a living at the docks, they expressed inexpressible gratitude towards Laine, kneeling in thanks on the spot, tears streaming down their faces.

Seeing that the old man’s family was well arranged, Laine smiled like an iris blossom.

Ah, the joy of a Holy Grail Knight Commander is often simple and unadorned.

And monotonous.

For some reason, when Laine later rode past the street with Surya on pure-blooded elf warhorses, there were no old men performing anymore.

"Hahaha!" Sitting on Richter, Surya, splendidly dressed and regal, a knight of national beauty and noble grace, wore a dreamily gray-blue unicorn velvet long coat outside, and beneath it, a pure snow-white silk shirt dress with black velvet tights and high-heeled boots under her long legs. She sat sideways on the pure-blooded elf warhorse, laughing uncontrollably, her silver bell-like laughter ringing incessantly: "So amusing! Truly amusing, Laine, I never thought you could handle these people this way! I’ve learned something new today."

"To deal with different people, you have to have different ways to deal with them." Laine’s mouth curled into a wide grin: "Don’t forget, I ultimately rose from the bottom, even Emperor Carl Franz couldn’t say anything about how I handled this."

Surya burst into laughter again at the thought of the old man’s expression when he heard he’d go to Lustria for treatment; she didn’t even touch the reins, yet her pure-blooded elf warhorse seemed to follow a clear path, keeping parallel with Laine’s pure-blooded elf warhorse Grapes.

The female knight seemed exceptionally lively today, but after laughing for a while, finally stopped. Surya reached out to slightly tidy her waterfall-like golden curls, then excitedly said: "Laine, Laine, where shall we visit next? What other fun places are there in Brunswick? Ah, seeing this city emerge, to build, to rise, and to reach its current glory, I’ve never felt so happy here. Truly amusing, surely being with you makes everything amusing!"

Upon hearing this, Laine laughed bitterly, shaking his head.

Only he knew that the Surya before him was not Surya at all, but "Surya."

A certain goddess was occupying, and controlling his wife’s body, enjoying this time of wandering the Imperial Capital with Laine. Of course, the real Surya’s self-will was observing as a bystander, enjoying double the happiness.

It’s practically a transformation tale.

The Lake Fairy’s Divine Chosen Champion thought to himself.

He suddenly understood why Little Devenshill called both the Lake Fairy and Surya mom—this goddess had intended this for a long time, yet Laine was thoroughly captivated by her.

It can only be said that Laine was still too young at the time, just in his twenties, a bit too na?ve.

"Interested in visiting the Temple University District? Brunswick University? Justice Cathedral, Death God Moore Temple, Divine Hall of the Justice Goddess Valenna, Divine Hall of the Merciful Goddess... want to take a look at these places?" Laine thought the dock district was already visited, as for the slums, it really wasn’t suitable to go there, he asked casually: "The dock district is like you see, one or two streets packed with thousands, reportedly twenty thousand people crowding the whole area."

"How many people do you plan to relocate from Brunswick?" The Lake Fairy controlling Surya’s body didn’t answer Laine’s question but frowned: "I think Emperor Carl won’t easily compromise."

"Twenty thousand to thirty thousand." Laine nodded: "Regarding the proportion of young and strong individuals, it’s already under negotiation."

"So many, are you planning to move all the dock workers from the entire dock district?" The Lake Fairy said with interest: "Will the Emperor be so generous?"

"Population has become a very heavy burden for Brunswick." Laine said softly: "Dealing with some of it is good for the Emperor and for us."
