Casite laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"There's not always a Demon King to be vanquished, and besides, the Gana Continent has just freed itself from the Dragon God's Barrier... However, I have heard that the Gana Continent is a land of harsh mountains and treacherous waters, teeming with countless dangerous Demon Beasts and poisonous creatures, alongside Primitive Lizardman Tribes who live by hunting and raw sustenance. It seems that there ought to be no shortage of opportunities for training."

Todwen nodded in agreement with this statement.

Then, he withdrew his gaze from the terrace and turned his attention back to Casite, speaking with keen interest.

"You seem to know him quite well."

"I wouldn't say well, but compared to you all, I do indeed have more contact with him."

At this point, Casite smiled slightly, a genuine appreciation flickering in his eyes, and he said in a relaxed tone.

"Moreover, rather than his Extraordinary Power, I am more surprised by his artistic mastery. Just the other day, I learned from Baron Harvey Mitiya that he had a discussion about art techniques and styles with Prince Colin while painting for him. His understanding of abstract art... even Baron Mitiya found himself outshone."

"Even Baron Mitiya found himself outshone?!"

Todwen raised his eyebrows, showing an intrigued expression, continuing to say.

"This... This is indeed surprising."

Being a member of the Holy City's renowned scene, he might not often associate with artists, yet he had heard of Baron Mitiya's amazing painting skills.

According to the Pope's personal evaluation, Baron Mitiya is the only person capable of using pure painting techniques to bring a canvas to life like a Magic Photo.

That is art that reaches deep into the soul!

In this Domain, he stands alone!

"That's not the only thing that surprises me," Casite leisurely took a sip of wine, "In any case, both I and His Holiness the Pope are quite satisfied with him."

Art and religion are inseparable; both are reflections of the Human spiritual world, except one is projected onto the canvas, and the other onto scriptures.

Since before the First Epoch, the Holy Sis Church Court has been a patron of the Holy City's artists, and even up until two hundred years ago, the entire Holy City's artists were living by painting for the Church.

Including the Imperial Royal Art Academy.

Such a plethora of art techniques has only emerged in the past two hundred years; before that, most renowned painters were Priests or people associated with Priests.

Therefore, from the Church Court's perspective, a family that understands art and prioritizes family education inherently bears the attribute of piety.

In a word—his persona is as perfect as the textbook of the Imperial Royal Art Academy!

At least in his eyes, it is.

Todwen's smile gradually deepened, and he said with comprehension, "It seems that he is not only strong but also quite meticulous. Such a figure must be a worthy target for both the Council of Elders, the Imperial Army, and our Church Court."

Casite smiled slightly, his eyes concealed a secret and confident glow, "The adventurer guild must also be interested in this young Prince, isn't it?"

Todwen laughed heartily and said without reservation, "Exactly, Earl! I have always wished to discuss with Prince Colin about setting up an adventurer guild branch in the Gana Continent! The Colin family has a strong presence in the Gana Continent; with their support, our work would be much smoother… Would you be willing to help?"

Casite gently nodded, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Why not? I am happy to introduce you. I believe that with Prince Colin's piety towards the Holy Sis, he surely won't refuse such a matter."

The adventurer guild's expansion overseas is something the Church Court is keen to see, so he is definitely willing to act as a mediator between them.

Todwen was overjoyed upon hearing this, unable to hide the excitement in his eyes, gratefully raising his wine glass.

"Wonderful! With your mediation, it's certain to succeed!"

Casite smiled and clinked glasses with him, accepting this favor, everything goes unspoken.

Tonight seems sure to be a night of fruitful gains…

...

While the Church Court Faction's members pondered how to forge deeper ties with this promising young Prince, the Officer Faction of the Empire was not to be outdone.

At the courtyard entrance bustling with colorful and lively noble attire, stood two men of markedly different temperament.

They too wore noble garments, yet on them, these clothes took on sharp, blade-like contours, resembling unadorned military uniforms.

The middle-aged man with black hair and a stern face is the one referred to as the "Black Iron Eagle," Marshal Laco Aber. Standing next to him is the man with fiery red hair, Julian Keller Corps Commander, Chairman of the "Red Shield Brotherhood."

The so-called "Red Shield Brotherhood" is not an organization like the adventurer guild, but a non-official club organized by lower and middle-ranking officers, referencing the adventurer guild of the Church Court for organizational purposes and borrowing the invitation system of Saint City's various salons for its core.

Its initial founding purpose was to help retired veterans solve their livelihood issues in their later years, but as its numbers grew, it naturally evolved into a political entity for mutual assistance among civilian officers.
