Chapter 573 Neew updates at novel/bin(.)com

"I was going to say that even if your goal was world domination, I'd still support you. Guess I got it half right."

Only half right? The only commonality between saving the world and conquering it was that both concerned the world they lived in. It was a wildly audacious joke, but the individual it pertained to remained unfazed. Kishiar was as he always wasneither laughing at Yuder's words, nor particularly scrutinizing them.

After repeatedly observing Kishiar's demeanor, Yuder finally spoke, hesitating as if he couldn't find the right words.

"Do you not find what I said absurdly ambitious?"

"Why would I think that?"

Kishiar counter-questioned.

"If you're only saying that because it was me who said it"

"While it's true I'm prepared to believe whatever you say, that doesn't mean I don't have any basis for it," Kishiar replied decisively.

"If claiming an unseen goal is absurd, then wouldn't priests, who believe and follow an unseen God, be absurd in their very existence?"

"Isn't that different from this?"

"Depending on your perspective, not really. The existence of divine power as evidence of God has been a long-standing debate among mages. The logic was that the existence of magic power doesn't necessarily mean you should believe in magic. Priests weren't fond of the topic, to say the least."

Wasn't it more than just a topic priests weren't fond of? Wasn't it a taboo subject that could brand you as insane?

As Yuder pondered his response, Kishiar overlaid his hand atop Yuder's clenched fist. Slowly caressing the back of Yuder's hand, Kishiar continued.

"Wanting to prevent an impending calamity is different from vaguely clamoring for world peace or salvation. If the Yuder I know had the latter kind of aim, I imagine he would be in a temple, not with the Cavalry. Perhaps wearing priestly robes that would make someone like me uncomfortable."

Each soft-spoken word from Kishiar struck deeply into Yuder's ears and resonated in his mind.

"But you chose the Cavalry, not the temple. That signifies that you deemed your abilities as an Awakener more essential for your aims than prayers. Considering what you've been doing all this time, everything appears to be rooted in practical efforts, far removed from absurdity, don't you think?"

His long fingers wove between Yuder's, enumerating each of his past deeds.

"You've taught others to increase their chances of survival, without fear of envy or jealousy. You've faced dangers head-on, nipping problems in the bud, even saving lives destined for death. To anyone observing, this is closer to the attitude of a military leader preparing for war, rather than its opposite."

""

"Self-proclaimed prophets and madmen who cry that the end is near have always existed. However, those who only talk never provide evidence or prepare for anything. That's the difference between you and them. That alone is reason enough for me to believe in you."

No one.

No one had ever given Yuder such an answer before.

Quietly blinking, a whirlwind of memories from his past life swept through Yuder's mind.

'Yudrain, are you in your right mind? If you're going to spout nonsense, leave and go do what you were instructed to do.'

True. The disasters have worsened over the years. Last year's earthquakes and droughts were followed by a harsh winter. But to say these events and the appearance of monsters are omens of impending doom is laughable. Are we saying that it's the end of the world, like in the time of the First Emperor a thousand years ago?

Commander of the Cavalry, you wander the lands these days seeking to be a hero, don't you? Isn't what you've achieved so far enough? If you're that bored, get a wife. Ah, is it because your body is some sort of Omega that you can't?

Even if what you say is true, it's difficult to officially acknowledge. The King of Nelarn can only protect Nelarn; we can't afford to stretch our hands towards the Empire.

Well, Commander, I'm not so sure. Weren't the results from the last investigation of the cracks inconclusive? No unusual elements were found. Perhaps you're overthinking this because the last event was too taxing?

He began to travel the world to investigate matters related to this. He met experts from various countries to seek their advice and rushed to the scenes of unusual disasters to gather information.

However, people did not view his efforts as purely altruistic. Opinions abounded that the Cavalry Commander who ignored even the Emperor's orders to go around doing his own thing was harboring dangerous intentions.

Some mages and knights from other countries he met to convey his ideas also first suspected that there might be a hidden political motive behind Yuder's actions. If not, the mockery followed that he must be mad.

"It's easier on the conscience to proceed secretly when nobody believes me anyway," Yuder reasoned, ultimately making the dangerous decision to investigate the world's state on his own.

"In the end, I never got a chance to properly verify whether my thoughts were correct, but I'm not displeased with how things have turned out."

Since he had been executed, there was no way to know what had happened to the world afterward. All he resolved was not to repeat the same mistakes in this life.

"The things I need to accomplish my goal remain the same as before. If the Commander and His Majesty the Emperor maintain their health, and the Cavalry continues to hold its center, then that will be sufficient."

"..."

"Those are all the words I wish to offer."

Kishiar remained silent for a long time. Only when warmth returned to Yuder's hand, which he held, did he finally open his mouth.

"What should we do now?"
