Mixed Blessing System

"Really?" Luis asked, probing Lothur's situation.

He knew Daemon and knew that if that man did not want Lothur to meet him at the moment or even know about him, it would be best to avoid giving information to this young man.

At the same time, as the academy principal and Lothur's partner in the Ritter Motor Company, this man was interested in keeping this young man out of trouble.

So he decided to keep Lothur in the dark about such a person, even though he knew who Daemon was to this young man. "Well, I don't know. He is a notorious criminal in our state, someone you should avoid all kinds of contact with, Lothur."

"If you didn't find him in that place, then I advise you not to seek information about him, or it might bring trouble for you." He made a serious expression. "Daemon is not his real name, so you will not be able to find his origins if you go after this person. You will only be marked by his enemies, people who might try to bring trouble to you."

"Not his real name?" Young Ritter frowned, a little disappointed by this.

He wanted to research such a person to find out what kind of trouble he would be dealing with. That is, he wanted to know who his grandfather was, the person who was after him, and how dangerous it would be to get involved with such an individual.

"So I won't be able to find my grandfather's identity through this man's name?" He asked Luis.

Luis swallowed his saliva, noticing that Lothur was already facing problems with that person. "Has someone from your grandfather gone after you? Tell me a little about that."

He knew who Lothur's grandfather was, Daemon's father, who held an extremely high position within Leopoldine. But first, he had to know how much this young man knew so he would not get into trouble by saying what he should not.

"Yes, the previous Transcendent who made me run away from the Finn Mountains was someone sent by him. He wanted to take me to that person." Lothur said, not knowing that his grandfather was Daemon's father, as he was still unsure if his progenitor was that person.

"Hmmm, I understand..." Luis said as he brought one of his hands to his chin. 'So he wants to meet with Lothur... How troublesome.'

'Well, you should be careful. Everyone involved with Daemon's group is powerful, capable of turning the heavens upside down." He said after a moment's thought. "So even though I don't know him, I can already tell you that you won't have a good time around this person."

"Is that so?" Lothur said, considering that such an individual should be at least level 17, or this level 16 man would not be so careful when talking about him.

"Anyway, those are big problems, but I believe you now have better tools to defend yourself, no?" Luis changed the subject. "You must have gotten stronger after days of traveling around that place, no? You even got yourself a 5th Revolution beast. That's no small thing."

"Hmm, I am a little stronger, but that fox is not mine. It's just accompanying me for a while until I get a chance to send it safely to that place." Lothur was sincere. "Anyway, I really am better prepared and now intend to use as much of the Ritter Motor Company as possible to keep me away from these threats."

"Hmm, that company has been growing quite a bit." Luis commented on some recent facts that he has received contact. "I heard that the factory is already over 50% complete, and it will be finished in another week so we can start our activities."

"Really? What about the paving company?"

"It is also developing. We have already bought the factory site and passed on the management of it to one of the associate families, House Christen." The principal said, showing a less worried expression as he talked about their business.

The business around the Ritter Motor Company had been developing smoothly, with each of the Lothur associates extremely pleased with their progress.

Each of them was given important roles that would become essential to Lothur's cars when they became popular in this world.

Some powers were focusing on formation, others on blacksmiths and carpenters. At the same time, some houses were looking after companies secondary to the Ritter Motor Company, as in the case of this paving company, and the driver training school.

That was a large project with many fronts, so however many partners there were, they were all managing operations that would become vital to the business.

It was crucial to keep the partners happy, and Lothur was doing well so far!

So Lothur listened to this and a few more details from Luis until this director had another appointment, and they said their goodbyes.

With that done, young Ritter returned to where he had left Ice, interested in going to Viktoria's faction to finish his entry into that group.

...

"Lothur!" Seeing her man leaving the mission hall, Annaliese immediately ran into his arms and hugged him tightly.

"Hmm, it's good to see you again, Anna. Did you miss me?" He smiled as he smelled the sweet scent of his sister-in-law.

"Yes, you have no idea how much..." She said, feeling bad that she could not kiss him in that place since there were still people in the vicinity of Ice.

"Don't worry, I'll spend a few hours with you today, and we'll work out any problems..." He whispered in one of her ears as he saw the beast tamer standing next to Ice.

"Who is that? Why is he near this fox?" He asked Annaliese after that woman calmed her heart a little and dried the tears that dripped from her eyes.

She answered him. "That beast tamer helped me talk to that beast."

"Oh? A beast tamer?" Lothur looked at that student and remembered that he needed to learn that profession to better deal with beasts.

That student saw Lothur looking at him and felt a little afraid, not liking his position. But before he could pull back from there, he heard. "What do I need to become a beast tamer?"

"Uh? Do you want to become a beast tamer? Don't you already have too many professions to learn one more?" He asked in surprise, knowing how difficult it was for someone to maintain more than one profession since he himself had two.

But in Lothur's case, as far as this beast tamer knew, he had three, and now he seemed to want to learn the fourth!

This was incredible!

But still, he responded after seeing Lothur nod in the affirmative. "To become a beast tamer, you must learn a soul technique that can communicate with beasts through mental waves. As for the rest of the training, this is like any other profession. You study the books and learn the characteristics of each beast..."

Hearing this, Lothur sighed in disappointment, knowing that, at least in the short term, he would not be able to learn this profession because he could not use soul techniques.

'It really is a shame...' He thought before thanking that person and leaving from there at Annaliese's side.
