The First Magic World War-Chapter 622 - 587, illegitimate child!

Chapter 622: 587, illegitimate child!

Truly a headache-inducing problem.

Chapter 622: 587, illegitimate child!

Truly a headache-inducing problem.

Charles casually ordered some food and asked, “Herolf!

Why do you seem a bit down?”

The old Goat took a while before replying, “Do you think someone who was tricked into signing a magic contract should be happy?”

Charles rubbed his forehead and had to admit that Herolf’s unhappiness was utterly justified.

He smiled faintly and said, “Herolf!

...

You know, I hate a lot of things, for example, human trafficking.

Because of the magic contract, I often forget the bad things you did in the past.

If you think having a magic contract is unpleasant, I can release you from it—and then kill you!”

Charles stared at Herolf, enunciating each word, “You know, killing you now wouldn’t really be a problem for me.”

Although Charles was only at the Second Level, Herolf shivered and immediately cheered up, saying, “No, I think having a contract is great!

You know, in the entire Westwind Knights, only three people have this honor.”

Charles smirked and asked again, “Herolf!

Why do you seem a bit down?”

This old Goat had been bound by the contract for a long time; it couldn’t be the reason for his discontent.

Herolf sighed and said, “Agon has advanced!”

This time, even Charles was slightly surprised, asking, “How come I didn’t know?”

Herolf replied indifferently, “Because he didn’t tell anyone.”

Charles had a sudden realization and asked, “Not recently?”

The old Goat nodded.

Charles could understand Herolf’s feelings.

Among Charles’s subordinates, those at the Second Level were the most, while the low and top levels were fewer.

But when everyone was of equal strength, and suddenly one person secretly advanced, it would indeed cause discontent.

At this moment, the meals that Charles and Sophia Garanord had ordered were served, and they were even provided with “chopsticks.” Charles had promoted the use of chopsticks for a while, but to no great effect, so he had given up on the idea.

After all, he had no trouble using knife and fork.

However, the idea had still mildly become a trend, especially popular at Hot Spring Mountain and on the Holy Light Divine State Title, where many restaurants would offer a pair of chopsticks as an alternative to cutlery.

Charles picked up the chopsticks and expertly grabbed a slice of the cut steak, saying, “You’re getting older, you’ve exhausted your potential, and you can’t advance—it’s only natural.

Don’t let it get you down.

Think of happier things instead, like…”

“Having a few bastards, perhaps!”

Herolf’s old face turned red, and he said in a low voice, “How did you know?”

Charles hadn’t really paid attention to his subordinates’ marital status.

The old Goat wasn’t young, and he surely had his share of women and offspring.

But since Charles had taken him in, he had never seen his family and had gradually assumed the old Goat was a lifelong bachelor.

Well, poor, unmarried, a bachelor for life…

that’s pretty normal, right?

When passing by, you’d just want to walk around him.

Although the old Goat’s poverty was due to his own doing.

Charles pretended to have everything under control and smiled, “A trivial matter.”

Herolf took a deep breath and said, “I used to think these brats could fend for themselves, none of my concern.

But recently, I thought it might be fun to take care of them.

I know of more than a dozen kids so far; most are Beastman half-breeds, but there are two…”

He slapped the two Great Act Devils in his arms and said, “They were born by them!”

Charles was shocked and thought to himself, “Old Goat, you’ve indeed made a contribution to the grand integration of the races!”

He shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to discuss the issue any further.

Now, illegitimate children were his biggest headache.

Charles didn’t want to have illegitimate children; after all, he had made a promise to Antonio, and he felt he should remain loyal to Anne.

But setting aside Menilman, Princess May Guillermo, and Sophia Garanord, he still had several “non-human mothers,” “Evil God’s kinfolk”, and just thinking about Gareth…

Forget it!

This one was just a big guy with age on his side, but otherwise fairly normal.

He was really troubled by Amon and Emilia and didn’t know how to handle it.

Charles believed that if you added up all the illegitimate children of Herolf, it still might not be as wicked as one of Amon’s eyeballs.

As for Emilia…

Sometimes, Charles even felt that if Emilia went berserk, he might not have the power to keep her in check.

“Illegitimate children!

Truly a bothersome issue.”

Before Charles and Sophia’s dishes were fully served, Agon entered the café along with Qiudelo.

On spotting Charles and Herolf, both of them paused briefly before greeting them.

As soon as Agon sat down, Charles couldn’t help but ask, “Did you advance to the Twenty-Third Level?”

Agon’s long nose curled slightly as he replied with a hint of shyness, “I advanced a month ago.”

Charles nodded and said, “I’ve always heard that you have the Dragon Hammer!

Is it true?” Seeing a moment of hesitation on Agon’s face, he quickly added, “If you do have it, you’d better start using it soon!

I’m worried that if you don’t, the Dragon Hammer might get outdated.”

“I’ve recently acquired the Jade Scroll!

Perhaps before long, everyone will be able to have a Sacred Level Extraordinary Object of their own.”

Charles had made no secret about acquiring the Jade Scroll, although he didn’t mention the Great Emerald Library and the numerous alchemists a half-step from the Divine Level.

Nevertheless, the very mention of the Dragon Hammer possibly becoming outdated and the prospect of Sacred Level Extraordinary Objects being widely available was enough to shock everyone present.

Not just Agon!

Agon had always thought that the Dragon Hammer was a Sacred Object of the Beastmen and that he should take good care of it, which was why he had never used it publicly in battle.

Charles had never before inquired whether Agon possessed the Dragon Hammer, and Agon had always been secretly grateful.

He had even entertained thoughts of how to refuse Charles if he ever demanded the hammer, and had considered leaving the Westwind Knights and finding another way out for the Elephant-man race if push came to shove.

What Agon didn’t expect was that the first time Charles brought up the Dragon Hammer, it wasn’t to demand this Beastmen’s Sacred Object but to tell him to use it quickly as it might get outdated soon…

Agon suddenly remembered his initial acquaintance with Charles, which due to caution had resulted in an awkward position.

Upon reaching the Twenty-Third Level, he had once thought that he wouldn’t become the strongest warrior under Charles, but with a batch of powerhouses joining during the New World Conference, his status as a Twenty-Third Level didn’t seem so impressive anymore…

If even the Dragon Hammer was about to be outdated!

Agon suddenly felt a sense of “misfortune”.
