Chapter 444: Theos Progress (1/2)

After leaving, Theo began to search for new monsters to fight.

With Ava listening to their surroundings, there was no way Theo would meet other people in the surrounding area, let alone when the military assembled most of them.

At night, he visited Phyrill and discussed all the information they received from the military.

According to the military, the monsters planned to create a big war within a week. Hence, they planned to strike them to keep them busy in three days.

Considering how aggressive they were, this plan should be enough to give them one more week, allowing the reinforcement to take over and kill the enemies.

Theo also introduced himself to Phyrill's group as he planned to join their group for a while. Phyrill also told the rest not to bother him so much. Their relationship was mostly partnership after all.

The Hilbert Family obviously knew how people like Theo worked. By hiding his face alone, he could create a mysterious persona. Whether it was a bluff or not, they wouldn't really look down on people they didn't know.

After all, the Hilbert Family had one ironclad rule. ”Never mess with the unknown unless necessary.”

Theo also learned that the experts around them came from poor families or orphans. They were raised by the family to become experts.

For them, the Hilbert Family had given them a life-saving grace by giving them a new life in their family and they wanted to repay the family by staying loyal to them.

Theo didn't say anything because there was also another term for this method. Brainwashing.

If they just poured all the kindness of the Hilbert Family into their hearts, Phyrill's family could make them loyal.

This was something he was a bit sensitive about as he needed to prevent himself from becoming like them when he moved to another country. After all, he wanted to live freely, not bound by ruthless rules like the Griffith Family or some sort of tradition.

He appreciated the fact Phyrill shared it with him as he understood what kind of morale he could expect from this group.

Phyrill also invited him to be the advisor of the group, but Theo rejected it, especially since he was a newcomer. His subordinates obviously wouldn't trust him easily, resulting in a disrupted chain of command.

Theo also talked with Ellen from time to time, knowing about her progress. Ellen was slightly surprised that Theo's level almost surpassed her. Though, she was happy for Theo because this just meant Theo kept improving at speed beyond her imagination.

After that, Theo slept in his own tent, talking with Ava.

…

Three days later.

Theo returned to the camp that night as he heard the leader was going to coordinate the fight.

Phyrill came to him, who was sitting alone to recover his Magic Power, asking, ”Theo, come with me. There are limited people that will go there so as to make it more efficient. You're going there with me as my assistant.”

Theo opened his eyes and nodded. ”Okay, wait a minute.”
