Chapter Sixty-Three: An Opportunity to Overturn Stereotypes

"buzzing"

In the town square of Stormwind Territory, mysterious magical runes suddenly appeared, instantly attracting the attention of the people who were working.

"What's going on? Could it be that a powerful mage has cast a teleportation spell to Stormlands?"

Soon, the villagers working in the town square reported the anomaly to the militia. Upon hearing of the magical reaction, the militia captain immediately led all the regular troops to the town square, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Wow, Uncle Akavi, are you bringing so many people to welcome me back?"

Soon, a bright light flashed, revealing Liu Tianyu and his group. Looking at the cautious militia captain, Liu Tianyu said half-jokingly.

"My lord? Everyone, put away your weapons."

Upon seeing that the leader was Liu Tianyu, the militia captain lowered the giant sword he was gripping tightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

"these are?"

Upon first glance at Liu Tianyu, he couldn't help but focus his attention on the suddenly appearing group of people, since Liu Tianyu hadn't initially brought this many people!

"This is the Archbishop of the Supreme Temple, the Sword Saintess! Thanks to the Sword Saintess's teleportation magic, we were able to instantly teleport back to Stormlands from the Water City."

Moreover, the merciful Sword Saintess has decided to help Stormlands resolve the storm calamities that have long hindered its development!

Upon hearing the militia captain's question, Liu Tianyu immediately introduced the Sword Saintess, who had a kind face. After all, no one present had a higher status than her, not to mention that she was his secret lover.

"What?! Your Excellency Sword Saintess, I am Akavi Northrend, the militia captain of Stormwind. I almost drew my sword against you upon our first meeting! Please forgive my sins!!!"

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu introduce the Sword Saintess, the militia captain was astonished and immediately knelt on one knee before her, hoping she would forgive his audacious act.

"Hehe, no need for that, militia captain. Doesn't this just demonstrate your dedication to your duty? Besides, this is actually the second time we've met you!"

The Sword Saintess smiled kindly, then raised her left hand, and the militia captain, who was kneeling on one knee, was pulled up by a strange force.

Hearing the Sword Saintess's meaningful words, the militia captain was full of doubts. However, he was relieved that the Sword Saintess did not pursue the matter. He had almost thought that he had brought annihilation upon Storm Territory.

"This is the Holy Maiden of the Supreme Temple, and this is the Priestess of the Supreme Temple. The Holy Maiden of the Sword has instructed them to take up residence in Storm Territory to spread the teachings of the Supreme God."

I remember there used to be a cathedral of the Supreme God in Stormwind Territory. Have the people renovate it and make room for the two of you!"

Liu Tianyu glanced at the Sword Saintess and the militia captain, then pointed to Tina and Aliya and continued his introduction.

The militia captain was stunned. The fact that the Sword Saintess was willing to help Storm Territory solve the Storm Calamity was like a dream come true.

But now that a saintess has taken up residence in the small Storm Territory, the militia captain is starting to wonder if he's dreaming.

Even ordinary priests wouldn't want to settle in such a remote and impoverished place as Stormwind Territory, but Liu Tianyu has returned with two saintesses and a priest after just one trip.

The militia captain felt that if his heart wasn't strong enough, he would probably faint on the spot.

After glancing at Tina and Aliya, the militia captain couldn't help but look again at the nearly completed God Emperor statue.

Shouldn't we cover the statue of the God Emperor with a cloth? Otherwise, he was really worried that his lord would be labeled a heretic.

Seeing the militia captain's gaze, Liu Tianyu's lips curled into a smirk, but he made no comment. If he didn't have that relationship with the Sword Saintess, he would definitely have to keep it a secret.

But now? Heh heh, I'm just playing around!

Finally, Liu Tianyu pointed to the last one, Elaine, and introduced her:

"This is Eleanor, a nobleman from another continent. He has been searching for a lord worthy of his loyalty, and it is clear that my charm and potential are worth the effort to win his loyalty!"

If it weren't for his help, frankly, I would have been in real danger.

Hearing Liu Tianyu's shameless words, Eleanor was speechless, but since he was a loyal 100% supporter, he simply nodded, which was considered an admission.

"My lord, since so many distinguished guests have come to visit, why not organize a grand welcome banquet?"

Seeing the once deserted Storm Territory suddenly filled with so many distinguished guests of high status and strength, the militia captain whispered a suggestion to Liu Tianyu.

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Perfect timing! Now that the goblins are mostly dealt with, it's a good time to hold a banquet to sweep away the bad luck. I'll go back to Stormwind Keep now and have Lucy prepare for the banquet."

Uncle Akavi, you should take these soldiers to the military camp, but the camp probably can't accommodate so many people. See if you have any extra houses to house them for now!

Upon hearing the militia captain's suggestion, Liu Tianyu didn't say anything. He could take advantage of the banquet to enhance his reputation.

The Sword Saintess has come to visit Stormwind Territory; a strong promotional campaign from her will surely change the stereotypical image of Stormwind Territory as a poor and desolate place.

At that time, many immigrants will surely come, which will be a great thing for the development and expansion of Storm Territory.

Seeing that Liu Tianyu seemed to understand the deeper issues, the militia captain nodded and then turned to call out to the soldiers.

Liu Tianyu, on the surface, respectfully invited the Sword Saintess and the others to attend a banquet at Stormwind Keep.

"Viscount Storm, let's postpone the banquet. Let's wait until I've dealt with the storm that has been troubling Storm Territory."

Faced with Liu Tianyu's invitation, the Sword Saintess seemed somewhat hesitant.

After arriving in Stormlands, through the perception blessed by the Supreme God, she sensed the long-standing suffering of the Stormlands, which made her, who had always presented herself as gentle and loving, feel unbearable pain.

"Sword Saintess, you are right, but it's important to balance work and rest!"

You must be quite tired after unleashing such a large-scale teleportation spell. Attending a banquet would be a good way to relieve your fatigue.

The long-suffering people of Stormwind will surely be overjoyed to see your benevolent arrival!

Although Liu Tianyu also wanted to resolve the Storm Calamity as soon as possible, he knew that Rome wasn't built in a day, and he believed that the Sword Saintess could definitely solve it, but it would certainly take a considerable amount of time.

As the archbishop of the supreme god, she is extremely busy. Once the storm disaster is resolved, even if she is reluctant, she will definitely have to return to the supreme temple. Then she won't have such a good opportunity to promote herself!

"All right!"

Seeing the pleading look in Liu Tianyu's large, obsidian-like eyes, the Sword Saintess finally nodded gently.

Then, led by Liu Tianyu, she moved gracefully and followed him to Stormwind Keep.

Chapter Sixty-Four: The Jealous Head Maid

"Ouch, Lucy, be gentle!"

Inside the lord's room in Stormhold, Liu Tianyu leaned against the corner of the wall, his hands on Lucy's shoulders, his teeth clenched.

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's voice, Lucy beneath him didn't speak, but instead gave him a charmingly coquettish glare.

Then, her jade-like hands, clad in black lace gloves, tightly embraced Liu Tianyu's thighs. She lowered her head further, opened her bright red lips, and took the playful Niu Niu into her mouth.

Liu Tianyu, who had finally gotten a chance to catch his breath, narrowed his eyes again after Lucy lowered her head to suckle his penis once more, meeting Lucy's alluring gaze.

Twenty minutes later, accompanied by the sound of running water and a man's barely suppressed voice, the commotion in the lord's room finally subsided.

"Hmm, thank you for the hospitality. Now, Master, can you tell me about your relationship with that Sword Saintess?"

Lucy gently stood up from her kneeling position, her beautiful black-stockinged legs rising slightly. Then, she licked the milk off her red lips with her small, fragrant tongue, gently embraced Liu Tianyu, and asked in an incredibly gentle voice.

"Huh? Would you believe me if I said I have nothing to do with her?"

Liu Tianyu, his head buried in Lucy's delicate, rounded breasts, whispered.

"It truly breaks my heart. So that's how it is. In your heart, Master, I am ultimately just a lowly maid? Indeed, as a maid, to inquire into your private affairs is a grave offense. I beg you, Master, to punish me!"

Upon hearing Liu Tianyu's words, Lucy immediately put on a tearful act, a look that would definitely arouse the protective instincts of any normal man.

"Um, I, I didn't mean that, it's just that..."

Seeing Lucy, who was like an older sister and a mother to him, with tears streaming down her face, Liu Tianyu couldn't help but feel a little flustered, even though he knew she was faking it.

"Pfft! Master, you did the same thing to the Sword Saintess as I did, didn't you? Don't deny it!"

Although it was very faint, it did have a subtle fragrance, like dandelion, which was the natural scent of that Sword Saintess. The only way to get that scent was through close contact!

And that Sword Saintess's walking posture is a bit off, just like mine the first time I walked like that!

Seeing Liu Tianyu's flustered state, Lucy suddenly burst into laughter through her tears, then said with a serious expression.

Seeing that Lucy had exposed him, Liu Tianyu fell silent. He had originally planned to hide their relationship, but Lucy had only glanced at him before discovering the truth and forcibly dragged him into the room to question him.

"..."

Liu Tianyu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Master! Do you know what you're doing? That's the Sword Saintess! The Archbishop of the Supreme God Church, a figure renowned not only in the kingdom but throughout the entire continent, and you're with her..."

Okay, I have to admire you, you great lover. You've only been away for two days and you've already gotten involved with the Sword Saintess.

But do you realize that you are merely a viscount? Having a relationship with her could very well bring you immense trouble, even annihilation!

Lucy's beautiful face was filled with anxiety. She might have been a little jealous at first, but what mattered most to her was Liu Tianyu's safety!

"Don't worry, Sister Lucy, I know you're worried. But my relationship with the Sword Saintess is still hidden. I will absolutely not reveal our relationship until I achieve an equal status with her!"

Seeing Lucy's anxious face, Liu Tianyu smiled, gently patted her back, and gestured for her to calm down.

"Sigh! You've grown up and have your own ideas now. Whatever you plan to do, I will support you! But you must be very careful about ideas that might put you in danger!"

Looking at Liu Tianyu's indifferent face, Lucy shook her head helplessly.

"Alright, I'll think about it. Okay, it's time to go. After all, it would be impolite for the lord and head maid to linger too long!"

Liu Tianyu lowered his head and gently kissed Lucy's red lips, then led Lucy to open the door and return to the banquet hall in the lord's hall.

The banquet was already in a lively atmosphere, with people drinking and competing with each other everywhere, looking quite heroic.

The very few people who don't drink alcohol sit in their seats, sip their drinks, and then smile and greet the others.

"Oh! The noble young man is back. Come, come, quickly drink this cup of mare's milk wine. As the host of the banquet, how can you not drink?"

Upon seeing Liu Tianyu, the miner-Taoist, who was sparring with the fairy archer, quickly called out to Liu Tianyu, wanting him to have a drink as well.

"I really can't refuse your kind invitation! But Odek, I really don't drink. After all, drinking affects my thinking and brings a whole host of problems..."

"Oh well, never mind, I'll just go find that guy for a drink!"

Looking at Liu Tianyu's long-winded speech, the mineman Taoist felt overwhelmed and then fixed his gaze on Eleanor.

"Hahaha, come on, the merciful sir doesn't want to drink, but I haven't met my match in a long time. Today we must drink until we drop!"

Eleanor was already flushed from drinking, but to save face, he accepted the miner-man's invitation without hesitation and started playing drinking games with him.

"Sword Saintess, what do you think? It's just simple food, I hope you don't mind!"

Liu Tianyu sat down next to the most esteemed Sword Saintess present and spoke softly.

"No, Lord Viscount Stormwind. Rather, I'm quite surprised. Despite the constant 'wailing' of Stormwind Territory, the produce here is unexpectedly abundant."

The Sword Saintess gently shook her head, then looked at the dining table, where there was white bread, fresh beef, sausages... mostly meat, with a lack of vegetables.

This reflects that life in Stormlands may not be wealthy, but it is certainly not poor, yet the population is so sparse.

"Alas! The Storm Steppe is abundant in resources and vast, yet the population of Storm Territory has never been able to increase."

The most important reason is that every winter, a severe storm sweeps across most of the Storm Plains, uprooting everything in its path.

Secondly, there is the rampage of goblins. Goblins are creatures that love to build nests and abduct women. Every winter, after the storm, the goblins of the Storm Steppe will unite and go to Storm Territory to plunder.

A blizzard could wipe out a year's hard work, goblin rampages would make merchants waver, agriculture would be unstable, commerce would stagnate, and Stormlands would naturally be unable to develop.

However, the number of goblins in the Stormy Plains has decreased significantly since the Adventurers' Guild issued the bounty notice. Perhaps soon, the goblins will disappear completely from the Stormy Plains.

As for the calamity of the storm, I believe that with your help, it will surely vanish without a trace. At that time, I believe Stormlands will definitely transform from a dreaded wasteland into a true treasure trove!

As Liu Tianyu spoke, he became more and more excited, seemingly already imagining how prosperous Storm Realm would be without the natural disasters of Stormy Weather and the man-made calamities of the Goblins.

Seeing Liu Tianyu becoming increasingly agitated, the Sword Saintess listened attentively without speaking, her expression growing more and more loving.

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Culprit of the Storm Disaster

"This is it, the place with the loudest wails in the entire Storm Steppe!"

Early the next morning, Liu Tianyu, along with Eleanor, his Vaegir archers, and the Swadian knights, followed in the footsteps of the Sword Maiden to find the cause of the raging storm.

Of course, the Goblin Slayer Squad also followed, since who knows if there are still goblins in the Stormy Plains? With them around, the goblins have nowhere to hide.

After all, the Sword Saintess's weakness is goblins, who could have imagined that?

However, to Liu Tianyu's surprise, the witch also came along. Her reason was that being able to see a gold-level adventurer cast magic would be of great help to her.

Moreover, as a magic advisor, he can better help him analyze magic.
