Lord of the Truth

"This is your loss!" The sage said with a chuckle, then continued, "SO...? why did you contact me and asked to meet here today? You have a bride waiting for you on your bed, why do you want to meet with an old man like me right after your wedding?"

"... There is no need to hide it, Actually soon I'll be gone for a long time, I'll definitely be back, but I don't know when…" Robin spoke in a low voice.

"Oh, really... and...?" an expression of surprise appeared on the sage's face, but they quickly disappeared

"I remember that you promised me earlier to do one thing for me, whatever it is.. and the time has come." Rubin spoke earnestly, "I want the Royal Family to protect the Burton family during my absence from any danger, both internal and external."

The sage raised his eyebrows, "That's easy, I really don't think your family needs protection, in fact, some families are talking to me about protecting them from you haha."

"No one knows what might happen tomorrow. If you think my request is easy, that's better for you, right? Promise me you will do it."

The sage didn't reply directly and remained silent for a few minutes, "You know the politics of the royal family, we can't go and fight with your family if someone attacks your lands, but… I can promise you that no one will touch Jura City in your absence, is that good enough?"

Robin's serious face turned into a smile, "Good.. very good!"

The sage nodded and turned to leave, but he stopped abruptly as if he remembered something, "By the way, the ancestor of the kingdom of Garia noticed the age of your body and asked for a way to return his body to a young man like you, he said he would offer you half of his fortune if you did this for him, And believe me when I say that his fortune is massive! What do you think?"

Robin furrowed his eyebrows and then sighed, "Your Highness, if I told you directly that I refuse to help him, will this affect our relationship?"

Sage Albert shook his head, "No, it has nothing to do with us, but ancestor Noah would not like this response very much, our transactions with the kingdom of Garia will surely be affected, especially those involving the Burton family, a big chunk of the resources you requested has come form there after all..."

"As long as it does not affect the relationship between us and you, there is no problem, as for that trade, there are always alternatives to take... But in order not to put you in a bad situation, let me give you an official response. What happened to me was a phenomenal event that I could NOT repeat even if I wanted to, please send my sorry to that ancestor Noah."

"Oh? The ancestor of our royal family died a hundred years ago, and now I am the oldest person in the royal family and my age is slowly coming to an end as well... If I asked you to do something similar one day, you would also refuse?" Albert narrowed his eyes.

"Don't say that Your Highness, you still have a long life ahead of you, who knows what will happen during those years? everything is possible with a bit of time..." Robin Hinted and went quiet, he did not promise him help and did not refuse outright either...

it would be stupid if he won the enmity of Albert now on something he will face hundreds of years later!

"Hmm, well I can live with that answer, now go get that 160-year-old virgin of yours! Hahaha" said the sage and disappeared.

"Silver Ice Lotus Ink with Giant Forest Worm Sap, and one Broadbrush!"  Robin spoke in a hurry, he was hanged from his waist with a rope to a point on the left side of the portal

"Yes!" Mila responded and quickly flew to Robin's side

This is how their honeymoon was from the second night after the wedding...

After a long night of bed wrestling that ended with Robin raising his ancestors' head again, he came straight to work on the portal, but this time his new wife followed him to be his new assistant as well.

And who better than to be an assistant to Robin, other than the head of the Rune Academy?

Robin's work became more efficient and faster with her presence, during the 3 weeks he completed work equivalent to approximately 2 months when he was alone!

He didn't know if it was because of the good and quick help, or because of his recent high spirits... but the answer didn't matter much, in both cases Mila improved his productivity and he was pleased with it.

With this, their days passed quickly.. all day long working on the portal inscriptions, and all night working to determine who was the controlling party in the relationship.

Of course, Mila came out victorious every time.

After another 6 weeks from the wedding ceremony...

"Good... That's good enough... Mila, bring me the ink jar number 34 and brush number 7.." Robin spoke in sweat, looking excitedly up at the Rune that was almost on the floor.

"there you go.." Mila quickly brought the things and passed them nervously

Robin grabbed the brush and dipped it into the jar and then, *whoosh*, drew straight across over the last Rune.

*Bbbzzzzzzzzzzzz*

All the Runes on the metal gate glowed for a moment as if they had been resurrected before dimming again.

"Hahahahaha!! We did it!!!" Robin laughed hysterically when he realized what had just happened.

The Space Portal.. has been completed!

All he needs now is to provide it with energy stones and enter the coordinates into the control board and the space portal will be ready to move him wherever he wants!!

"So... are you leaving...?" Mila asked in a hesitant voice, not showing any enthusiasm or happiness.

"haha... Hh.." Robin's laugh was cut off midway when he heard the question, the smile fading away, until suddenly a few moments later, "I'm not leaving now of course! Caesar still needs an extra session in two weeks, have you forgotten?"

"And after the two weeks..." Mila asked again

"We'll see then!"  replied Robin, annoyed, then gave a dirty laugh and moved forward and leaned into his lap, "Don't you think this achievement deserves a special celebration?"

"Oh, are you sure? The last time you said you were going to punish me by sleeping alone for two days?" A smile full of meanings looked on Mila's face

"It's because you provoked me! At least cooperate with me more, I'm doing my best here!!" Robin was annoyed

"Hehe No, quickly increase your cultivation level and listen to the little voices and moans you like with your own power, wouldn't it sound even better then?"

"Tsk~just shut up and let's go, you know what, we will do it standing today, to bed for you tonight!!" Robin found nothing more to say, so he slapped her in the buttocks and started walking towards a special corner of the warehouse.

His cultivation level and even his body that was weaker than those who are at his level made it difficult for him to handle a level 26 saint!

He had to squish even an ounce of energy and experience every day to gain some face!

Actually, he finally started thinking of ways to strengthen his body for the first time just because of this!

-------------------------

For the next two weeks with no urgent work and nothing to do, Robin was back in training to increase his strength.

after the first week of trying he came to make sure that strengthening his body with alternatives was much easier said than done, and even if there is room to make it happen he will need months and maybe years to even begin, so he just brushed it aside, and went to raise his cultivation level.

Although he knows that increasing his level does not increase his actual strength by much, every small amount of strength can benefit him wherever he goes...

And indeed, after fifteen days of seclusion, he managed to break through to level 16 of Knighthood without problems and even made a few preparations for the next level...

Today is the date of the last foundation modification session for Caesar...

Today is the date of the last thing that binds him to this world...
