The state guest-level dinner, hosted by Reinhardt, the fourth prince of the empire, and Midi of the Falcon Regiment and the Marquis of Blue Gold and the Marquis of Black Feather of the Demon Realm as VIPs, ended successfully in an extremely pleasant and harmonious atmosphere.

And with the end of the dinner party attended by many important ministers and noble lords of the empire, coupled with the "retirement" of the second prince Philip and the "recuperation" of the sword emperor Yulun, the war between the Delos Empire and the Belmar Kingdom that lasted for more than a year finally came to an end.

The fourth prince, Reinhardt, with the support of Midi, rightfully ascended the throne and became the new emperor of the empire.

On the Belmar side, the Iron and Blood Grand Duke no longer lived in seclusion behind the scenes, but returned to the front of the stage and began to preside over affairs.

And now, the Grand Duke's energetic appearance has also reassured many people who are worried about his physical condition.

In addition, because the demon viscount Bo Fei was directly used as a scapegoat by the two marquises, therefore, a huge intelligence network that he had worked hard to arrange in the entire Arad continent in the past ten years directly fell into the hands of Midi.

And after some meticulous interrogation and sorting, Midi suddenly discovered that many of the enemies he had faced before were actually inextricably linked to this demon viscount.

For example, in the earliest days, when Midi and Fina and others were tested, the "Bloodblade Thieves" who came to assassinate them were part of the vast intelligence network under the command of the Demon Viscount.

During the civil war in the Duchy of Belmar, the "pretenders" who took the opportunity to occupy the royal capital were the direct subordinates of the demon viscount.

It can even be said that most of the demon essences in the body of the "pretender" were implanted by Bo Fei himself.

Not only that, but in addition to these organizations that are eyeing and infiltrating Belmar, there are also all kinds of foreshadowing planted by Bofi in other countries of the Arad continent.

It can be said that this demon viscount has stretched his tentacles to every corner in the past ten years.

Knowing this, Midi, who originally wanted to kill Bofei with one blow, felt a little pity.

After all, it was not the Empire's aggression that Midi was most angry about, but the Empire's harsh tyranny of the people after it had occupied part of Belmar's territory.

As a ruler, you should be like a ruler, not to oppress the people.

This is the most taboo point of Midi.

And this, on the contrary, has nothing to do with Porphy.

After all, he was only inciting the war and trying to open the demon channel, and as for the specifics of the war, the demon viscount was not very interested in it at all.

As long as the "Sword Emperor" Yu Lun can provide more resources, no matter what the current territory of the empire and the territory of Belmar are, in the end, they are not all demons?

That's what Porphy thought.

Of course, this beautiful idea has been directly shattered by Midi, and it has been shattered into slag.

However, even Midi, who is a genius commander, has to sigh with emotion after learning about what Bo Fei has done in the past ten years.

"It's either death, or it's a master-servant contract, you can think for yourself. ”

Midi finally gave Porphy such a choice.

There are three types of demon contracts, slave contracts, master-servant contracts, and retinue contracts.

The slave contract, Midi will not consider at all, because this kind of contract will directly brainwash the object of the contract.

And once the demon is brainwashed, it loses its sense of self and becomes a complete puppet, with neither growth nor its own ideas.

If he just wanted a guard who could fight, Midi had it on hand, so he didn't have any interest in this kind of puppet at all.

Therefore, he will only consider two forms: the "master-servant contract" and the "retinue contract".

However, after all, the demon viscount Bofei is the second apostle's subordinate of the "tear-eyed" Herder, and even if he is forced to cut off contact with the second apostle, it is impossible for Midi not to leave him alone.

Therefore, it is natural that such a loose "retinue contract" signed with Agareth is impossible.

If you want to sign a contract with Rafiti, there is only the kind of "master-servant contract" that forces the demon of contract to obey.

Once this kind of contract is signed, although Rafi will not be brainwashed into a puppet and can have his own mind, his every move, and most importantly, the demon soul, will all be in the hands of Midi.

As long as Midi has a thought, even if it is thousands of miles away, he can directly kill Rafite!

"I am willing to sign a master-servant contract!"

Rafi dared to hesitate at this time, and hurriedly replied.

He had already lost hope in frustration, but he didn't expect that there was still a way to live, so he was naturally full of promises.

However, just as Rafi was about to make a pact with Midi, Midi shook his head.

"The person you want to contract with is not me, but a powerful old man. ”

"Archduke Heydrich Hamilton?"

On the side, "Sword Demon" Agareth nodded thoughtfully.

Now, Midi has single-handedly brought peace to the continent of Arad.

Whether it is the Delos Empire or the Belmar Kingdom, the rulers of the two most powerful countries in the Arad continent today are inextricably linked with Midi.

It can be said that as long as Midi says a word, the two countries will definitely carry out this order without hesitation.

This is not only because Midi has a high enough prestige and has given enough favors, but also because Midi's strength has enough deterrent power!

However, Midi will not stay on the continent of Arad for long, on the contrary, now that the situation has stabilized, he will soon leave this place and go to the sky and clouds.

Therefore, the biggest issue is not whether the Arad continent will be peaceful when Midi is here, but whether this peaceful and beautiful situation can continue to be maintained after Midi leaves.

The previous year and three months had proved that once Midi left, there would be careerists ready to stir up, which would lead to war.

Therefore, the biggest key to maintaining peace after Midi's departure is "balance".

The reason why the empire launched an attack was not unrelated to Bofi's instigation, but the bigger factor was that the empire had the strength to crush the Belmar kingdom.

Even if Midi fought from Belmar to the Empire all the way, or annihilated a large number of Delos elite troops along the way, because Belmar was also hit hard, the actual strength was still dominated by the Empire.

Even if the current emperor is the fourth prince Reinhardt, there may not be a guarantee that such a huge empire will maintain a unified voice.

For this reason, Midi thought of asking the Demon Viscount Bofi and the Iron Blooded Grand Duke Heydrich to sign a "master-servant contract".

In this way, if the Belmar Kingdom had an intelligence network that spread throughout the Arad continent, and under this intelligence network, there were even many powerful organizations at its disposal, then the gap between the Kingdom and the Empire would be greatly reduced.

Coupled with the fact that Reinhardt himself is not the main battle faction, it can be said that in this way, Midi can ensure the "balance" between the two sides.

What can be sustained by the majesty and deterrence of the Midi alone is nothing more than a false peace, and only "balance" can bring true peace.

After Reinhardt's ascension to the throne, a few days later, after placing the demon Viscount Bofei and issuing a large number of high-grade potions and inheritances to the Falcon Regiment, Midi finally made a decision.

"I've been on the Arad continent for three weeks, and it's almost time to leave. ”

Looking at Huttonmar, the capital of the Belmar Kingdom and the bustling commercial capital of Huttonmar, Midi, who stood on the hill, was silent for a long time, and finally, he finally opened his mouth.

At this moment, it is early in the morning, and the golden morning sun casts a little light on the rows of buildings, which looks as if it were a golden sea made entirely of bricks and stones, which is particularly charming.

Midi watched quietly for a long time, without saying a word.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to them?"

On the side, Agareth asked lightly.

Although Midi told Sù Agareth that he could return to the Demon Realm and only respond to the call of the "Entourage Contract" when necessary, the "Sword Demon" himself was already determined to accompany Midi to the Heavenly Realm.

After all, he is not an ordinary demon, but a "sword demon", a demon who aims to pursue the strongest combat power.

Since following Midi can maximize his growth in the shortest possible time, then he naturally has to follow Midi's steps.

Sometimes, Agareth even secretly thinks to himself, can he sign this "retinue contract" with Midi, is it considered a turning point in his life?

However, in the demon's opinion, the environment of the Arad continent is too superior.

Although these humans came into contact with Midi earlier than him and followed Midi's side, they were eventually left behind by Midi.

Sooner or later, the level of the two sides will open up to an irreparable gap.

In fact, this disparity was already evident when Midi single-handedly defeated the entire Delos Empire.

Now the "Sword Demon" is not so much saying that Jian Yì Midi is going to say goodbye, but rather saying that he thinks it is time for Midi to part ways with ordinary mortals.

It's just that Midi laughed when he sensed Agares's thoughts.

"Agares, do you know what it takes to be truly powerful?"

Midi glanced at the "Sword Demon" beside him and said calmly.

"I want to hear about it. ”

Agareth replied immediately.

"Quite simply, no matter how strong you become, always maintain a humility to the world. ”

Midi said earnestly, word for word.

If you blindly rely on force, then one day, you will definitely be crushed by stronger force.

Both Agareth and Midi are more of a person who prefers psychological control, as both understand that there is no end to strength, at least, until they reach the level of the Supreme Strong.

So, since you know that you are not the strongest, why should you be different from mortals?

Always maintaining awe and humility in the world is the endless motivation to keep getting stronger.

What's more, Midi never thought of leaving her hometown.

"All in all, there is no need to say goodbye, because sooner or later, I will come back. ”

Moreover, it was back with Fina and Alice.

Midi said secretly in her heart.

In the next moment, a glow had risen from the ground, carrying Midi and Agareth through the air.

Like a bright shooting star.
