603 Arrangements Before Departure (2)

"I see..."

Elizabeth nodded in understanding before she suddenly frowned, "But if all the foul energy after concentrated into these four points, wouldn't these areas become dangerous?"

"Not at all, Mother," Leon shook his head before explaining, "The Demon Gathering Arrays are built to condense the gathered energy into solid forms."

"Thus, there will be no risks involved so long as no one touches the crystallized energy. However, these objects do need to be guarded against robbery and falling into the wrong hands."

"I see." Elizabeth nodded after understanding the whole picture before saying, "I will arrange for people to—"

"I have already arranged some city guards and palace guards for the task, Mother." Leon interrupted before adding, "I plan to inform father later to pay attention to these four locations."

"Since you have already settled everything, I have nothing to worry about. Let us talk about something else, instead." Elizabeth nodded before her expression suddenly turned stern.

Suddenly, Leon's heart became tense for some reason, not understanding why his mother looks so serious.

'Am I in trouble?' He thought for a moment before asking directly, "What do you want to talk about, Mother?"

Elizabeth gave Leon a solemn look before saying, "I know you've had a rough childhood, but it seems that I have been too lenient on you."

"What are you talking about, Mother?" Leon furrowed his brows in confusion.

"Hmph, as long as your feelings are serious, Mother doesn't mind how many women you bring home anymore..."

Elizabeth snorted before firmly stating, "However, it is not okay to play around with any women! I do not want any of this scandal in the family, you hear me? When you enter a relationship, you have to stay committed!"

"Ugh... I still don't understand, Mother." Leon scratched his head before asking with doubt, "When did I ever play around with women?"

"Hmph, still pretending?" Elizabeth snorted before saying, "Fine, let me tell you this; Duna has already told us about your casual relationship and experiences."

"You can't hide it from me. How can you make such a nice girl your f*ck buddy after she helped you out so much? Do you have a conscience? Because she's an evil spirit, she can't be your official lover?"

"Ugh…"

After listening to his mother finish speaking, Leon's expression clouded with a dark look.

"Duna is very mischievous, Mother. You should not listen to everything she says! We are not like that at all! We are not f*ck buddies!"

"Then let me ask you this simple question, what is your relationship with Duna?"

"We are… lovers, I guess?" Leon answered unconfidently while scratching his cheeks.

Elizabeth immediately narrowed her eyes dangerously before asking with a strict tone, "What the hell do you mean, you guess? So are you or are you not?"

"Well, it hasn't been made official, but I am working in that direction."

After Leon said this, Elizabeth sighed before shaking her head, "Haiz, whatever. Just remember what I said."

"Still, to think that you would also lay your hands on non-living entities. I must say, son, isn't your strike zone a little too wide? Are you going to bring home some random cats and dogs next time?" Elizabeth said with an exasperated expression.

Shortly after, she added, "You need to exercise some self-control, son. Seriously, Mother no longer knows if you are purposely trying to build a big harem or a goddamn zoo!"

Leon's expression gawked with awkwardness after being admonished by his mother before he said, "You can't blame me for this, Mother… some things can't be controlled…"

"Well, I suppose not. My son is simply too talented…" Elizabeth spoke with a bit of helplessness.

Leon was about to heave a sigh of relief when her expression suddenly turned fierce again before adding, "Still, no cats and dogs. You hear me?"

"Yes, Mother…" Leon's lips twitched slightly.

Shortly after, Leon managed to change the topic to a different matter. But at the same time, he made a mental note to punish Duna for her mischief.

Leon spent some time deploying one of the portable teleportation arrays in a secured location within the palace before teaching his mother its usage with clear instructions on switching destinations.

"Have you understood everything, Mother?" Leon asked shortly after.

"Un." Elizabeth nodded.

"The device might be complicated to make, but it looks pretty straightforward to use. It was not hard to understand, son."

"Right, this is for you, Mother."

Leon suddenly handed over another spare portable teleportation array along with its artificial Demon Cores before saying, "Once Mother set up this portable teleportation array in the Grassland Region, it'll be easy for us to travel back and forth between these locations."

After Elizabeth accepted the items from Leon and stored them in her interspatial ring, she nodded, "You can leave it to me, son. This will save us a lot of traveling time."

Leon smiled lightly.

Rather than saving traveling time, the teleportation array will practically erase any traveling time between these three locations; Western Frontier, the Capital, and Grassland Region.

Sometime later, Heinrich smiled upon noticing Leon and Elizabeth's return to the Inner Courtyard.

"You're both back."

"This is for you, father."

"Hm? What is this?"

After Heinrich accepted the few sheets of paper from Leon, he began reading through them with curiosity.

At the same time, Leon gave Duna a short glance while the person pretended not to notice before explaining to Heinrich, "These are Divine Cultivation Techniques."

"Oh?" Heinrich exclaimed before uttering, "More techniques?"

"These techniques aren't the same as the last ones. These cultivation techniques are for Energy Condensation Realm, Revolving Core Realm, Heaven Ascension Realm, and Void Realm."

"And what do you want to do with these, son?"

"Well, I've noticed that our people are beginning to reach the peak of Body Tempering while some have even managed to pave their own way into Energy Condensation. I didn't want our people's cultivation to be shackled by the lack of techniques, so I am handing these over to you, Father."

"As for the specifics of what to do with them, I will leave those decisions to father," Leon added shortly after.

"Fair enough."
