Chapter 1359: Chapter 916: Handling After the Battle_2

"In summary, that’s all I can tell you."

"I see... But... We are also not very familiar with the Human Magic System..."

Algard was also frustrated, who asked Paretia to pick something as off-beat as Elf Magic?

"That’s no concern of mine now. In short, I’ve informed you of all the intelligence I have. How you use that information is your own affair and has nothing to do with me."

Originally, this planet had a united kingdom in its history, but it fragmented following the invasion of the Demon Clan. Currently, there are a few countries that maintain a feigned friendliness towards one another. Therefore, how and with whom the envoys of the Star Union will negotiate when they arrive is their own problem, and Duanmu Huai does not care or mind.

Ultimately, he had passed the intelligence to Algard, and now it was up to him, as the king, whether to use that intelligence as leverage to gain benefits or as a trump card to obtain the right to represent his kingdom in negotiations... That was up to Algard to figure out.

In any case, it was of no concern to Duanmu Huai.

After dumping this trouble on Algard, Duanmu Huai dusted off his hands and left, leaving Algard with a troubled expression. But that had nothing to do with Duanmu Huai. The Tribunal does not intervene in internal political disputes of humans, and providing some intelligence at no cost was about as far as he would go. He didn’t want to meddle too much in other matters.

Thus, Duanmu Huai’s main task for the following period was leading the Night Guard around the planet, hunting down the Demon Clan. It must be said, even though the Demon King was dead, those demons were stubbornly persistent. Fortunately, their breeding rate was slower than cockroaches; otherwise, they might have been impossible to exterminate.

While Duanmu Huai and the Night Guard were chasing down demons, the Star Union also received news about the planet from Zhenjiling. As Duanmu Huai had thought, faced with the sudden appearance of this planet and its relatively ancient civilization, the Star Union was greatly troubled.

But they couldn’t just ignore the situation, and eventually, the Star Union dispatched a delegation to this planet.

One could imagine that the arrival of the Star Union’s fleet brought considerable panic to the people of this world. Some even believed it was the army of the Demon King... while others proclaimed them to be envoys from the Goddess...

Well, let them say whatever they want.

Afterward, the delegation from the Star Union held a closed-door consultative meeting with the kings of several countries, including Paretia. Duanmu Huai didn’t care about the details of what was discussed, nor was he interested. Although Lumiaire mentioned she could hack into the Star Union’s communication lines to check the situation, Duanmu Huai outright declined. He wasn’t keen on meddling in political affairs. After all, it was a matter between the Star Union and the people of this planet, and the Tribunal was better off continuing their promising work of clearing out Aliens.

Naturally, the two parties eventually reached an agreement. Duanmu Huai glanced over it and found it to be acceptable. The Star Union would construct a space elevator near the planet’s equator and impose a 100-year quarantine on this world. During these 100 years, the Star Union would guide the civilization of this world step by step towards embracing the Universe. If they failed to do so, the quarantine would be extended.

At first glance, this might seem unreasonable, but on further thought, it’s not really that unreasonable.

Given the current level of civilization on this planet, they can’t even consider space flight, let alone traveling through the Universe.

The construction base for the space elevator will serve as a liaison office between the Star Union and the planet’s civilization. As a reward for providing this planet with the Human Magic System, the Star Union will also gradually release some of their civilization’s technological advancements that will not destroy this world’s society.

Of course, Duanmu Huai guessed that they perhaps did this for his sake, since the Star Union now possessed the Human Magic System, indicating that they were well aware of the situation on this planet and within the Star Union itself. Apart from the Star Union, only the Tribunal could have achieved this.

So, it was not unusual to offer some face to the Tribunal.

By the way, this news caused quite a stir within the Star Union. Given that the Star Union’s civilization is based on technology, magic and the like belong to the realm of fantasy literature. Suddenly, the actual existence of a magic world with a human civilization excited many residents of the Star Union, who even expressed interest in organizing a tour group to visit and see it all for themselves...

Meanwhile, on this planet, the situation had also changed. It was mentioned before that there used to be a united kingdom on this planet, which was destroyed in battles against the Demon Clan’s army. Everyone thought the current state of affairs was quite good, but with the appearance of the Star Union’s envoys, the kings realized they couldn’t continue in their disunited state. As a result, they began to discuss the mission to rebuild the "united kingdom."

After all, upon contact with the Star Union’s representatives, those in power astonishingly realized how vast the outside world was, and how petty and wasteful their squabbles over trivial matters had been. Now, the countries began negotiating how to re-establish a unified state to cope with negotiations with the Star Union.

Overall, the exchange between both parties has been smooth so far.

What happens next——that is no longer Duanmu Huai’s concern.

And now, he has other matters to tend to.

"Come here, Ann, let me show you the Destruction Magic I figured out by myself on that planet."

Standing on the training ground, Duanmu Huai summoned Ann over with a proud wag of his finger, and the latter also appeared to be in high spirits.

"Mr. Knight, I admit you’re stronger than me in battle, but when it comes to magic, that’s where I really shine! Magic isn’t a hammer—smashing isn’t all there is to it!"

"Heh, is that so? You won’t know until you try it."

"Alright, no problem!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai speak, Ann quickly pulled out her Magic Book from her waist and opened it.

"You just watch, Mr. Knight. I’ll show you that the power of magic isn’t the decisive factor in determining victory or defeat—take this! Fireball Technique!"

As Ann called out, a gigantic Magic Circle unfolded above her head, followed by a fiercely burning Fireball emerging into existence.

"Come on, Mr. Knight, let’s see what you’ve got!"

Watching the energetic Ann hopping around, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes, chick is usually so docile, but she gets all bouncy with magic.

Three days without a beating leads to a roof unstitched; time to straighten you out!

With this thought, Duanmu Huai raised his hand and clenched his fist towards Ann.

Destruction Magic!

"—————!"

In an instant, the giant Fireball that Ann had summoned directly shattered into nothingness, and the magic array in her hand also completely fractured.

"Huh? How is that possible?"

Staring dumbfounded at the Fireball above her head that was summoned only to be destroyed, Ann was left agape and startled.

"Wait, why is this happening? How can it be? My magic was actually...brr, it’s so cold, hold on, hey? Hey?"

Just then, Ann suddenly felt an icy chill all over her body, and when she looked down, her little face turned deathly pale.

"Wah, what on earth is going on!!!"

Screaming, Ann wrapped her arms around her body, crouching on the ground with her face beet-red, glaring furiously at Duanmu Huai. Under Ann’s angry gaze, however, he revealed a smug expression.

"How about that? This is my Destruction Magic. It can destroy not only magic but even your clothes, leaving not a single thread behind! How about it? Admit defeat? Hahahahaha!!"

"Mr. Knight you big pervert———————!!"
