Chapter 147 Infighting
Chapter 147 Infighting
?
Tyler had a fair understanding of history.
Roman law, originating from the ancient Roman period, had a profound influence on Western jurisprudence.
Historically, it stemmed from the Twelve Tables of 450 BC and was later compiled into the Corpus Juris Civilis by Emperor Justinian. Its core principle was "all are equal before the law."
Under the influence of Roman law, the Roman Empire's economy rapidly developed, and its military prowess grew, ultimately becoming the wealthiest and most powerful nation of the time.
Roman law provided the foundation for an abundant supply of provisions, strong soldiers, and well-crafted weapons.
And then the "blitzkrieg".
During World War II, Nazi German General Heinz Wilhelm Guderian pioneered a tactic called "blitzkrieg."
The strategy utilized the speed advantages of aircraft, tanks, and mechanized units to win battles through surprise attacks.
Denmark was conquered in just one day, the Netherlands in five, and even the powerful France surrendered after only 39 days.
Tyler saw parallels between the strict legal system promoted by "The Eternal Winter Lord" and the Roman law.
The so-called Steel Rhino Corps and Soaring Dragon Squadron were strikingly similar to the tanks and aircraft of World War II.
Tyler wasn't suggesting that the indigenous people of the Prison Star world lacked the ability to innovate new development methods.
However, the simultaneous occurrence of the "birth of Roman law" and "blitzkrieg," both seemingly orchestrated by the same person, was too much of a coincidence.
(Could it be that "The Eternal Winter Lord" is also a traveler like me?)
Tyler had previously speculated that he might not be the only traveler, and now he found new evidence.

"Banning?"
"Ban—ning—?"
Emilia's voice pulled Tyler back to reality, and he realized they had arrived at her doorstep.
"Teacher Emilia, you explained it so well that I was deeply immersed in understanding what you said. I got lost in thought."
"Oh…"
Emilia pouted, reluctantly accepting his excuse.
Then, struck by an idea, she hesitated, shyly asking, "So…if you haven't finished understanding…would you like to…come in for some tea…and sit down to understand better?"
Upon hearing this, Tyler was fully aware that if he entered Emilia's house, he might not need to return to his hotel tonight. ?? ( ????? ) ??
That would not do.
Tyler needed to hunt on the outskirts at night to gain experience as a "Hunter" and improve magic skill proficiency. Staying at Emilia's place would thwart these plans.
"Maybe next time."
Tyler patted Emilia's head and left nonchalantly (frightened, actually).
Emilia wanted to keep him, but she feared appearing immodest, so she reluctantly watched him leave.
·
On his way to the outskirts, Tyler contemplated what Emilia had said earlier.
Perhaps in some less challenging worlds, a so-called demon king could be defeated by a hero gathering a few people, forming a team, and vanquishing the enemy together.
However, in this 'Difficulty: Impossible' Prison Star world, under the command of the "Singular Demon God - The Unutterable Name," there existed a vast force like the Abyssal Empire and a formal evilkinds army.
Although he didn't rule out the possibility of assassination, confronting the Singular Demon God directly would be tantamount to winning a full-fledged war.
Realizing this, Tyler felt his ultimate goal to be incredibly distant.
In such moments, Tyler would glance at the "T" character etched on his palm, finding the motivation to keep striving.
.
Upon reaching the outskirts, Tyler spent an hour hunting and successfully captured a Baralawang tusked boar (a type of wild boar) and a floral-tailed hazel grouse (splendidly appetizing), reaping bountiful rewards.

Ever since partnering with Moto-chan, Tyler's hunting efficiency has significantly improved.
On the other hand, although there is no relevant data in the Status Information, Tyler's archery and swordsmanship have both seen substantial advancements, which is another crucial factor.

?Prison Star Calendar?
?Year 187, June 21?

?Countdown to Confession Death: 28 days?

For Tyler, each new day begins with the awakening call of the stupid loli alarm clock.
As long as he has the stupid loli, Tyler will not squander even a speck of magical power.
—?Production Occupation Skill 'Calculation Boost - Lv5' has been activated and remains in effect...?
Two minutes later, Tyler expended approximately 1000 points of magic power, raising the Calculation Boost skill to level 6 and retaining 600 points of magic power for emergencies.

Subsequently, Tyler mass-produced 200 bottles of antidote, maintaining a 50% success rate, which is a temporarily insurmountable bottleneck at his current level.

If there were any differences this morning compared to previous ones, it would be Emilia's absence in knocking on the door.
Starting today, Emilia would be immersed in a tremendously busy work schedule.
Tyler empathized with her hardship, temporarily relieving her of the "duty" of delivering potion books daily.
·
After breakfast, Tyler first took a stroll around the perimeter of The Quest Guild, finding no one causing trouble for Emilia.
Then, he sauntered around the Adventurers Guild vicinity, experiencing tranquility; it seems the disappearance of Mayor Gideon's son, Keven, had yet to be discovered.
However, Tyler did not become complacent; on the contrary, the underlying issue with The Quest Guild remained unresolved.
Tyler was acutely aware of the severity of Oleg's burn injuries, fearing that his strength would be significantly diminished upon recovery.
Consequently, the pressure from the mayor's faction on The Quest Guild would only intensify, with no possibility of a harmonious, mutually beneficial future.
To prevent the mayor's faction from committing irreparable atrocities against Emilia, Tyler planned to take action against Mayor Gideon.
If they dare to commit evil deeds, they must be prepared to pay the price.
·
Tyler's vigilance was already heightened, but he was unaware that Mayor Gideon's actions were equally swift.
Last night, Mayor Gideon waited until midnight with no sign of Keven's return and report.
Considering Keven's usual debauchery and that causing trouble at The Quest Guild was not a high-risk endeavor, the mayor did not entertain any negative thoughts, simply assuming his worthless son was fooling around again.
The mayor was frustrated, but what could he do about his own son?
Thus, the mayor sent people to the Emerald City overnight, spending a considerable sum to hire a second-tier specialized combat professional.
He intended to send Oleg to "enjoy his twilight years" in heaven while the branch chief was still recovering from his severe injuries.
Once Oleg was dealt with, Mayor Gideon planned to eliminate every single employee loyal to Oleg within The Quest Guild, including Emilia, the foxkin, and her colleagues, without leaving a single one behind.
