Looking at the young soldier in front of him who spoke about his ideal dream, Timus could not help but open his mouth in shock.

Ideal dream?

This word was too far away and unrealistic for people like these in this world. In this world, the only thing that everyone thought about every day was how to survive, and how to live a better life.

During the war, the weaker civilians thought about how to live, the stronger soldiers thought about how to kill a few more enemies to get promoted.

When it comes to peace, there are no lofty ideals.

The merchants want to run their business better.

The farmers are concerned about whether the crops in the field will be better.

The craftsmen want to make their technology more sophisticated and better.

The powerful crave for power and connections to get better.

Many people thought about the most practical things.

It had been too long since anyone had said the word — ideal. So much so that people had almost forgotten about the word.

Timus was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled from his speech. The way he looked at Gilroy had changed from pure appreciation to a look of respect and admiration.

Compared to his new student, his daily considerations as a teacher were much simpler.

He was either on the path of becoming stronger or challenging the strong. Other than that, he had never done anything else.

Was what he decided on ideal?

“Elven queen, you should thank Lord Gilroy.”

Timus turned to Ulysses Sabrina as he spoke. When he turned towards the queen, the smile on his face had disappeared. He did not have much goodwill towards her.

Ulysses Sabrina was stunned.

It was resolved just like that?

She did not think that Gilroy would have such an important right to speak. She even thought that Timus would scold the young man next to him. Fortunately for her, none of this happened. The fact was that Timus agreed with the young man’s suggestion made this whole situation even more odd.

She could not help but only wonder in her heart.

“I don’t mean to offend you, but just in case, I still want to confirm…

“Our conversation today has the benefit of a contract, right?”

“Of course.” Timus grinned. “Although the king doesn’t know the content of this conversation, I will make him agree.”

After saying that, Timus seemed to be afraid that Ulysses Sabrina would have unnecessary worries, so he added on with further reassurance.

“If the king really doesn’t agree, I will help the human race change a king. For example, the young man beside me seems like a good potential candidate.”

Hearing this, Gilroy turned pale with fright and hurriedly lowered his head, “Teacher, please don’t say that. I’m just a soldier.”

Timus looked at Gilroy helplessly. This kid actually exposed his true identity so quickly. However, he disregarded what Gilroy had said and just laughed.

“From today onwards, you’re no longer a soldier, but a general of the human race. Don’t worry, I’ll get the king’s approval.”

After saying that, he turned to look at Ulysses Sabrina and said, “Remember about today’s agreement.”

Ulysses Sabrina hurriedly nodded, not daring to hesitate at all. She knew that this was the best result that she could obtain. Or to put it another way, this result was not obtained by her at all, but by that weak human, Gilroy.

Ulysses Sabrina silently etched the names of these two humans in her heart, never to be forgotten.

Gilroy, and… Timus!

She had a strong premonition that these two would be important figures in the human race for the future. Seeing the two of them leave the meeting room, Ulysses was still sitting in her original spot. She could vaguely hear the mentions of something called Violet Valley whispered in their words.
