Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 538 - 298: Sword Master’s Invitation to Battle, Louis’s Invincible Path
The schedule after the meeting was even busier than Louis had imagined.
The number of nobles coming to visit Mayer was endless. Louis could only choose some who were difficult to refuse to meet.
Things went more smoothly than he had imagined.
The status of Mayer’s identity rose to an incomprehensible height after a meeting.
But more than the rise of Mayer’s identity was the true identity of Louis.
Those who came to visit Mayer were at least still nobles, although they were basically high-ranking ones.
Uh... and a small number of lower-ranking nobles who wanted to promote their daughters to Mayer.
These were almost inevitably pulled back by high-ranking nobles before they even appeared on the scene.
And those who came to visit Louis were even more frightening.
High-ranking nobles?
No, they were basically the pillars of various nations.
Don’t be fooled by those Demigods who were arguing fiercely in the meeting about how to deal with the Curse Binding Legion, but in private, they were quite friendly.
They even proactively apologized to Louis, saying "the statement in principle was based on national positions, not because I have any issue with you."
Although he could understand their actions, Louis still wanted to laugh.
These representatives of Demigod forces were too genuine.
However, Louis also knew that the reason so many strong individuals came over was that after he made a pretentious statement in the guise of Mayer, these people shifted their attention from Mayer, where it should have been, onto himself.
Just think about it, controlling such a powerful legion, and being the emperor’s representative, it was clear that a power transition had taken place within the Ense Empire.
The soon-to-be-reigning Empress Beatrice, and her husband, Prince Louis, had already substantively completed more than half of the power transition.
It’s like everyone knows that a certain country’s crown prince will eventually become king, but without a crown, he is still just a crown prince.
And compared to nominal status changes, the actual significance generated by power transition is even more important.
After all, although the Ense Empire endorsed Mayer, it doesn’t mean that the Curse Binding Legion is part of a traditional military system.
This is a giant pie dropped from the sky, and the pie cannot be divided by other legions; it’s tied to Mayer, belongs to Prince Louis, and can serve Princess Beatrice at any time as an "exclusive giant pie."
The emperor did not react, and even showed support for this matter, pioneering alliances for the Giant Demon Tribe, which already explained a lot.
The subsequent public opinion impact caused by the Mad King was actually quite significant, significant enough that even the Prince of the Empire found it difficult to bear alone.
But the Giant Demon Tribe established a nation, clearly indicating a willingness to cooperate with the Ense Empire, while not restricting its citizens from joining the Curse Binding Legion after death...
This move was openly shielding Louis.
Before anyone stood up to become the breakthrough point, the measures in place to defend against the Curse Binding Legion seemed weak, but were still impenetrable.
But clearly, the Giant Demon Tribe established a nation, and directly became the breakthrough point, so although dense, the weak defense was like a balloon pricked by a needle, instantly bursting.
Coupled with Louis’ conscious guidance, who still doesn’t recognize who the real master of the Curse Binding Legion is?
On the night before Louis was about to return home, a legend whom he had been following but had not come to visit sent an invitation.
...
"This should be our first time meeting alone." A middle-aged man with a simple appearance sat on the sofa, smiling at Louis.
Louis received this middle-aged man in his capacity as a prince.
He stood up and extended his hand to this middle-aged man, saying, "Hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once. Before leaving Tunisia, how fortunate to meet the famed Sword Master."
Yes, the one visiting him tonight was exactly the Sword Master from the Lokeshi Empire.
"Just call me Cialdini."
The Sword Master showed a big set of white teeth, smiling gently.
Who would have thought that the Sword Master, known as a madman in the meeting, would be so gentle in private.
But Louis knew well that this was just an illusion.
The pride of this legend was merely concealed, or let’s say... because he met him.
The Sword Master calmly said, "I felt something was off before. Finally meeting Your Highness in person today has confirmed my doubts."
"Oh? How so?"
The Sword Master smiled cheerfully, saying, "I sensed an incredibly strong scent of sword from Mr. Mayer, that delicious scent that I haven’t smelled in a long time."
"That is the power named Sword Saint, a power that transcends the current level, a power like mine."
"But it’s impossible for a dragon to master such skills."
"The nature and physique of dragons, determine they won’t invest large amounts of time and effort in this aspect."
"So, I thought then that this power should come from someone very close to him."
"Aside from you, a Dragon Knight, I couldn’t think of a second person."
Louis’s smile deepened.
If before he had just put one foot into the Sword Saint realm, now after receiving meticulous guidance from the Kulin Sword Saint, perfecting the Bloodlust Blade, and absorbing the Great Sins of Wrath and awakening the new skill of Lust—
Who dares say he is not a Sword Saint? Let them take a sword first!
Very few people knew about this matter.
Only a few knew about his alias.
Logically speaking, as long as Louis doesn’t directly showcase his formidable fighting strength in front of others, normal people wouldn’t realize he became a Sword Saint.
