Chapter 283: Chapter 187: The Rules of the Civilization of Fire Cannot be Violedent_1

Everyone stepped out of the ball and took in the sight in the distance. In the still of the night, a tremendous castle was erected next to the city of Madalena. It was clear that the castle was not something that low-ranking nobles could meddle with. With dome, spires, colonnades, arcs, the castle was brilliantly lit, filled with lit candles.

The whole castle was utterly magnificent, radiating a thin layer of light.

Boots Cat announced its masterpiece to everyone. "This is the castle I give to my master. It once belonged to an Earl who relished exploiting his own serfs. Now, that Earl has nowhere to go."

"Moreover..."

Green flames burst forth from Boots Cat’s eyes simultaneously setting the entire castle ablaze with green fire in a flash.

Under such a magnificent feat, Ivita gazed at the castle and noticed that Boots Cat seemed to have cast a powerful Expelling Curse on the castle.

Boots Cat said, "In the future, only those approved by my master can enter this castle."

"This castle will completely belong to my master!"

Boots Cat also handed a scroll to the chairman. Upon opening, the chairman found a letter of appointment certifying Maximilian as a lord, approved by the city council of Ambros.

The chairman, with trembling hands, looked at Boots Cat in disbelief, then turned to the lucky one, Maximilian.

With hands behind the back, Boots Cat asked the chairman, "Now, aren’t you willing to entrust your daughter to the man she loves?"

The chairman fell silent.

After more than three seconds of silence, someone in the crowd shouted, "My sister is also of marriageable age, and she is beautiful. Perhaps Lord Maximilian could marry my sister. I can guarantee that we won’t act pretentiously like someone else."

Upon hearing this, many people made similar proposals.

The chairman shivered, realizing that while his daughter was a sweet cake, Maximilian had undoubtedly become one too.

Though the Black Bear Man might be a bit ugly, he had a title, a castle, and gold.

He had everything.

In this era, looks aren’t of the utmost importance. Beauties and handsome men aren’t scarce. There are plenty.

Beauty could only be turned into a toy for the noble and wealthy. Wealth, status, and power are what underpin a noble’s existence.

Seeing his daughter so in love with the Black Bear Man, the chairman gasped and waved his hand at Boots Cat, saying, "Ah, forget it."

"So be it. I agree to betroth my daughter to Maximilian."

He glanced warily at the surrounding guests, particularly at the noble men who were looking to marry their sisters and daughters off.

"Many thanks, everyone."

"But what happened today is by no means a farce. It is proven that among the three who wanted to marry my daughter, Maximilian came out victorious. The three suitors of my daughter had fought fiercely today..."

As he spoke, he asked the surrounding soldiers to step down, pretending that all previous events were part of the ball to save face.

He droned on and on, "With the blessing of the God of All Things, my daughter, Jenny, finally found a husband to match her..."

"This man has defeated a formal Gladiator and a formal Knight, enabling him to be with my daughter..."

But people were no longer paying attention to him.

The focus had shifted elsewhere.

The chairman paused, turned and what he saw was his daughter and the Black Bear Man, Maximilian, passionately kissing each other in public. Amid the entanglement, they engaged in a French kiss, and golden red lights emanated from their bodies one after another.

The structure of the Black Bear Man’s face started to thin, the fur on his body started to shed, and the color of his pupils gradually changed from black to blue.

In this kiss, Maximilian gradually transformed from a Black Bear Man into a human being.

Upon witnessing this, everyone was in stunned silence.

Immediately recognizing it, Ivita said, "This is True Love’s Kiss."

From behind the Black Bear Man emerged an evil force, something Ivita had never seen before. After being forced out of the Black Bear Man’s body, the evil force lingered in the hall, took the form of a large-headed woman in a black fog.

The black fog yelled in anger, "Damn the true love, I’ll come back for you sooner or later, I’ll take your heads!"

The next moment, a beam of light shot out from Maximilian and Jenny, thoroughly cleansing this black magical power.

Ivita realized that the voice just now should probably belong to the Regent Queen of Saxon - Red Queen.

It seemed that she turned Maximilian into a Black Bear Man.

Maximilian, now returned to human form, held Jenny tightly, continuously expressing his gratitude to her.

And Jenny, looking at this young and handsome knight, fell even deeper in love.

As it seemed that a match made in heaven was taking place, the guests were applauding and extending their blessings. Seeing the man breaking the curse and turning back to human form, the chairman shook off his remaining resistance and accepted his future son-in-law.

However, Kristin, standing beside Ivita, was glaring at Maximilian murderously, ignoring Baron Taketick and said to Ivita, "Damn it, the True Love’s Kiss just now should have cleared the witch’s magic in him."

"I’ve come across some records of similar situations. True Love’s Kiss indeed removes the curse of a witch. But if the person under the True Love’s Kiss wants to retain the power the curse brings him, the True Love’s Kiss may reconstruct the curse. Removing side effects, leaving positive effects, and providing him with the ability to transform anytime, anywhere."

"I think it’s highly likely that Maximilian still has the ability to turn into a Black Bear."

"Damn it."

"Under my watch... a new Dark Night Race has appeared — the Black Bear Man."

Ivita also reacted. "Since Maximilian wanted to retain the power to protect Jenny, it was inevitable that he would choose to keep the power of the Black Bear Man."

Kristin’s eyes were filled with a cold killer intent, as if she were looking at a mad dog infected with rabies. "We still don’t know the mechanism by which the Black Bear Man reproduces, but if we can kill the ancestor of the Black Bear Man early, we can annihilate this entire tragic bloodline."

Ivita remained silent.

He had no interest in the fate of the Black Bear Man, he was just here to stop the plans of the Graveyard Wizard.

Now it might have turned into waiting for Boots Cat to deliver his promise.

Boots Cat bypassed the guests who were blessing the newly married couple, came to Maximilian, took off his cowboy hat, and nodded to Maximilian, "The boy who was weak before, has become the knight who protects the princess today."

"So, you no longer need my protection."

"Now it’s your turn to protect others."

"I have to go, Maximilian, but this time I’m not disappearing for half an hour, but forever."

Maximilian, who was basking in joy, was thrown a bucket of cold water. He never expected Boots Cat to leave. He considered Boots Cat as his own brother and friend and thought he would always be with him.

"Can you... not go... "

Maximilian stammered, "At least wait until you witness the wedding between Jenny and me. I have long considered you as my family."

Boots Cat shook his head. "I disappeared for half an hour a while ago, left you alone to face everyone, it was actually a test. If you failed, I would have immediately returned to your side, but you successfully passed the test I set."

"Maximilian, you’ve grown up."

"Congratulations."

"Don’t cry, every person you are close to will leave you eventually, I’m just leaving a bit earlier."

"Growing up is a good thing, the person who will truly be with you forever is Jenny, your wife by your side, take good care of her."

Boots Cat also seemed a bit sad, keeping his head down, not letting anyone see his tears. "Maximilian, the rules of the elves are absolute. Boots Cat will only stay beside the weak and incompetent, my master can be of any identity, but will forever be a weakling."

"But you... are no longer weak."

For a moment Maximilian regretted, why did he pass the test?

But then, he suppressed his sadness, forcing a smile, "Thank you for taking care of me all this while."

"Although we can’t see each other ever again."

"But I don’t want to say please take care of yourself, because I might be dead, and you might still be alive."

Maximilian said, "But I hope, one day, Boots Cat, you can find personal value besides having a master. My last wish is that one day you won’t need a master anymore, Boots Cat, and can live for yourself."

Boots Cat looked at him in surprise.

Because this was the first time that a little devil he had helped, made such a wish.

But...

That’s impossible.

Boots Cat put on his cowboy hat, held the brim of his hat with his left hand, pretended to be cool and turned away. "That’s impossible."

"The rules of the elves are absolute. Although the Civilization of Fire has collapsed, their universal laws remain strong."

"Boots Cat will always be looking for a master who needs him."

"In fact, I, like rainfall and sunlight, simply offer more people my favour, while I can only help a few people by meeting them every hundred years. Yet, I think this is a good job."

"Goodbye, Maximilian."

"I will hear about your legend from others. Your story will continue, but we truly cannot meet again."

Maximilian watched Boots Cat’s retreating figure, lost in thought.

So, it was just a job?

It could hardly even be considered life.

Boots Cat walked up to Ivita. "I moved a Count’s castle to your territory. When you go back, you should be able to see it. After all, it stands out so much."

"It’s a nice castle. Every brick is made from precious blue stone material. It has a moat, inner and outer city, several torsion catapults, and crossbows, as well as stone towers. This sort of castle is quite good in Ambros City."

"And the promise I made to you. I will help you deal with the Graveyard problem. Just let these two Graveyard Wizards leave here."

"This way, I have effectively returned the favor to the people of the Graveyard because I saved their Wizard apprentices."

"But if you need my help in dealing with the Graveyard in critical moments, I will definitely appear."

Ivita paused for a moment, then nodded.

This could be considered an unexpected reward.

Then, Boots Cat turned into a ball of green flames, and left this place.
