This is why he likes Eris very much, but his relationship with Philip is very ordinary. Even if it weren't for Eris, it would be unknown whether Roa would take the initiative to help Philip this time.
Roa sat there, not exuding a trace of pressure, but the young man just sitting there gave people an extremely powerful sense of oppression.
Philip didn't speak, and the atmosphere became a little strange. Eris looked at Roa, then at Philip sitting opposite him. Roa touched Eris's forehead, his expression calm and unwavering.
Eris tilted her head, seeming not to understand why it had become like this.
Both of them are the most important people to her, but at the moment, the atmosphere between the two is very strange, so strange that even with Eris's brain, she understands that there may be some conflicts between the two at this time.
However, that's not actually the case.
For Philip, this matter is completely a good thing. For Roa, he is just a little unhappy, but it is only limited to unhappiness.
The relationship between the two is indeed not particularly good, but the current state is actually quite harmonious.
Eris's small face kept turning between Roa and Philip.
The girl is not smart, and the affairs between adults are too far away for her. Even if something suddenly happens in front of her, she doesn't know what to do.
But fortunately, the silence didn't last long, and Philip quickly broke the slightly awkward atmosphere.
Philip still had a smile on his face. This was a noble's fake smile. Philip said to Roa, "How far can you go?"
"How far?" Roa thought for a while and said directly, "Restore you to your former glory? Weren't you demoted to this remote place?"
Philip was actually quite powerful when he was young, of course, this refers to his political prowess.
However, who can say clearly about the affairs between nobles and the Royal family? Looking at Philip's current appearance, you can tell that he has experienced a Waterloo and was directly kicked out of the power center of the Asura Kingdom. In ancient China, that would be a typical demotion.
Philip's current age is definitely not too old, probably not even thirty. You must know that in this era, nobles get married and have children around the age of fifteen or sixteen.
However, it is at this age that he can only spend the rest of his life in this kind of place.
Anyone who is normal would have some other ideas.
Roa's appearance made Philip see many possibilities.
Philip picked up the black tea placed on the table, took a sip, the bitterness and tea fragrance in the teacup mixed together, which made Philip very enjoyable.
Roa stared at Philip without speaking. He wanted to see what kind of request Philip would make.
"What are you going to do? How far are you going to go?"
Even honorifics came out, it can be seen that Philip has become quite serious at this time.
Roa directly said: "Regarding the next heir, I think the current Second Princess is quite good."
"Oh? Is it Ariel Anemoi Asura? Your idea is very bold. If I'm not mistaken, not many people, whether Royal or noble, are willing to support her."
Philip's expression did not change, still with that smiling expression.
However, facing Philip's inquiry, Roa just casually said: "Isn't it enough if I support her?"
"So, you want to control the entire Asura Kingdom?"
Philip instantly understood Roa's intention.
He rarely hesitated, Philip asked: "The Water God is in the Royal capital, they will not allow you to do this."
Roa did not speak, just looked at Philip with a very calm gaze.
Philip continued to speak: "Whether it is the First Prince or the Second Prince, they will stop you."
Roa's expression did not change in any way. The so-called obstruction is just a joke in front of a Sword God who has stepped into the divine level.
Philip understood the young man's meaning, his face regained a smile, Philip nodded: "Indeed, then, what do you need me to do?"
"A title, I need a reasonable identity."
"Oh? I remember your father Paul is a nobleman, why don't you look for him?"
Before Philip could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Roa: "Paul is just a small nobleman in the countryside now, let's not talk about this."
Philip nodded, thought for a while and said: "What do you think of my daughter? I can marry my daughter to you, so you can act under my banner."
Philip made a suggestion, this suggestion is not very good, at least it is not the best solution, but Philip still put it forward.
When Philip said such words, Eris, who had been sitting obediently on Roa's lap, instantly froze, her muscles tightened, and the girl's expression became flushed. Eris did not dodge like other girls, although she wanted to escape, and also wanted to blame her father for suddenly saying such words, but her first reaction now was to turn her head to look at Roa.
Roa smiled noncommittally, he stretched out his hand and pressed Eris's head, preventing her from turning her head.
Eris made a dissatisfied protest, but this did not change anything, the young man's hand was still holding Eris's head.
Philip looked at the actions of the two and smiled, he was still that calm and breezy expression, Philip just simply said: "My daughter likes you very much, doesn't she? Presumably you will bring her happiness, and it just so happens that this happened, why not take the opportunity to solve both things?"
Rudeus looked at Eris next to him, and then looked at Roa, he fell into deep thought.
To be honest, he really didn't expect such a development to happen.
However, he could feel that Eris had an almost obsessive worship for Roa, so it didn't seem strange that such a development would happen, he just wondered why Philip would bring it up at this time.
Roa did not answer immediately, but asked Eris.
"What do you think? Eris."
Eris, who was suddenly named, had a brief brain freeze. Although her brain did not react, her mouth was faster than her brain, and she directly replied: "I think it's okay."
After the girl finished saying this, she fell into a long silence.
This time, even if Roa let go, she would no longer turn her head, just holding her cotton armor with both hands, she could feel that the muscles all over her body were tightening even more at this time.
This is the reaction that a warrior would make when encountering something extremely dangerous.
However, Eris would actually become like this because of such a question, which made Roa feel a little dumbfounded.
She was waiting for Roa's answer, Philip was also waiting for Roa's answer, Rudeus raised his eyebrows, calculated in his heart how many sisters-in-law he would have in the future, and after thinking for a moment, he was also waiting for Roa's answer.
As a result, everyone's eyes were on Roa.
Philip thought that Roa might think for a long time, or even refuse, after all, there had been several previous attempts, and Roa was always in a state of not taking the initiative and not refusing.
However, this time Roa just thought for a while, and then directly said: "Okay, I also like Eris very much, I would feel a little uncomfortable if I watched Eris marry someone else."
The expression on Rudeus's face was already a little unsustainable, he wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh.
He was afraid that this laugh would face the righteous iron fist of his future sister-in-law.
He forcibly suppressed his laughter, and even almost suffered internal injuries.
There are really a lot of girls around Roa, his former master Roxy, Mitsuri Kanroji who popped up in the middle, plus an Eris, there are as many as three on the surface, and with his understanding of Roa, there must be many more behind him.
At that time, Eris was not facing a group of people fighting for jealousy.
For some reason, facing this situation, he just wanted to laugh.
Unlike Rudeus, Eris was overjoyed, and the tense body all over her body also slowly relaxed at this moment. Eris didn't say much, lowered her head, jumped off Roa's body, the shoes under her feet made a crisp sound on the floor, Eris took a deep breath, and then, ran away directly.
Eris got the answer she wanted, but that courage also leaked out like a deflated ball when Roa said that sentence.
Eris did not look back, and rushed directly into her room, and after a while, there was the sound of the room door closing heavily.
Roa shrugged, looking at the girl who had already run away, without stopping her.
Philip said with emotion: "I didn't expect my daughter to be shy."
Rudeus also echoed: "Yes, I have never seen her shy expression."
Roa did not dwell too much on the topic of Eris, but directly asked: "Let's just leave it at that, then, I will enter the city under your name? As for Eris's marriage, let's wait until she is older."
Philip nodded, indicating that he did not have much objection to this answer.
The meeting ended, and having obtained the result he wanted, Roa planned to set off.
Philip rarely retained him, this gentle and amiable young nobleman said seriously: "Why don't you wait until this winter is over before going, the situation in the Royal capital is still relatively peaceful now."
Roa casually said: "I'm just going to take a look, I will return if anything happens."
Speaking of this, Roa stretched out his left hand, and on the index finger of his left hand, there was a gorgeous ring flashing a blue luster.
That was the Traveler's Fantasy.
Since Roa turned the power of this ring to the maximum and filled this artifact with magic power, this ring began to undergo some changes.
The ring emitted a blue light, Roa injected magic power into it, and the light became softer and brighter, the blue luster filled the entire room, dispelling the chill brought by winter.
Philip looked curiously at Roa's actions and asked, "What are you doing?"
Roa did not hide anything and said directly: "I have engraved a coordinate here, if necessary, I can spend magic power to instantly return here."
Philip's eyes lit up, what this meant was self-evident.
The Fittoa Territory is stable, and no one will dare to target the Fittoa Territory in the future.
The appearance of a sword god who can manifest at any time is an undeniable deterrent to other nobles.
Unless Roa dies or becomes too old to wield a sword, no one would willingly offend such a person.
Roa glanced at Philip, who was secretly pleased, but said nothing.
Since they are Eris's family, he might as well help them, lest they all be purged during the eventual reckoning.
The azure glow of the ring quickly dissipated. Roa injected magic power, and three coordinates instantly appeared in his mind.
One of the coordinates was not far away, requiring only a small amount of magic power to reach.
It was none other than the Paul family's location.
Another was at the Holy Land of Swords, which was quite far and would require more magic power and preparation time.
The Traveler's Fantasy can set six locations, and even if it can only be used once a day, this ultra-long-distance teleportation that ignores distance is already quite heaven-defying.
Almost anywhere in the world, Roa can appear whenever he wants.
After completing all this, Roa didn't linger. He simply said a few words of farewell to the group and left the Fittoa Territory directly.
Roa began to advance towards the capital.
The Asura Kingdom, the oldest human political power and the largest country in the world, consists of the Asura King's territory, the Four Great Territories, and the territories of numerous minor nobles. Affected by the Laplace War, most human countries outside the Asura Kingdom were destroyed, and other existing countries are mostly young and emerging nations.
The Royal capital, Ars, is named after the hero "Ars," the capital of the Asura Kingdom.
It is the location of the main dojo of the Water God Style, where the current Water God also resides.
The Water God has been vying with the Sword God for the Holy Land of Swords for many years. Although the Water God has never been a match for the Sword God Style, this does not mean that the Water God Style is weak. It's simply that the Water God Style's sword moves are too obvious.
The philosophy of the Water God Style is counterattack. As long as the opponent attacks, triggering the defense and counter, they can instantly decapitate the opponent.
The advantages and disadvantages of the Water God Style are both obvious. The advantage is that both magic and swordsmanship can be the target of defense and counter.
The disadvantage is also very clear. If facing a master of the Water God Style, as long as you don't attack proactively, the Water God Style's counterattack will not be triggered. This is why the Sword God repeatedly emphasized when teaching Eris and Roa that if the opponent is the Dragon God, never attack proactively.
Once you attack proactively and fail to kill the Dragon God in one blow, Roa will face the Dragon God's terrifying slash.
In the final battle in the original story, the Dragon God tried to use words to anger Eris, inducing her to attack and directly end her.
