RISE OF EROS-Chapter 758 - 757

After a brief tour of the city, Andrew, Biacko, and the dragons looked for an inn to spend the night. The sun was already setting, and it wasn't the time to start their business. In fact, Andrew first had to assess the surroundings and see where and how he could establish his business.

He may not do this often, and lately it had been much more scarce, but Andrew is a merchant. His responsibilities had indeed grown, but this was a part of him he liked. This was how he started when he came into this world, and he liked reliving these simple moments that once held meaning.

Andrew now has so much money he can't spend. His business, along with Candice's and the other girls', has generated so much money that it's truly irrelevant. He also has subordinates who could do this much more quickly and efficiently, but he still enjoyed this process.

It's not widely discussed, but the business empire he and his wives have built is nothing to be taken lightly. Candice has been expanding, and he does business with her throughout almost the entire southern hemisphere.

Very few people know it, but they are the most commercially powerful family in the southern continent. Even the Emperor of Cannaris couldn't ignore him now and play with him as they had done a while ago.

It's true that, being so discreet, few knew Andrew was so wealthy and powerful, but that doesn't change the fact. If Andrew really wanted to, he would only have to reveal his identity, and the leaders of Comers would treat him like one of the most important figures ever to visit the city.

Andrew didn't do this, not only because he enjoyed the nostalgia of recreating what he did early in his career but also because it allowed him to observe his surroundings objectively. If everyone knew he was a VIP, they wouldn't treat him sincerely, and although he could see that with his Eros eyes, it's still not a bad thing to train his ability to discern people's intentions.

He knows that when he ascends, he will be surrounded by gods, divine beasts, and spirits, against whom his eyes would be useless, so he treats these spaces as a training ground. They quickly found a fairly comfortable inn.

Despite having the money to stay in one of the most luxurious and prestigious ones, Andrew chose to be discreet and chose a small but cozy one. It wasn't that it was cheap; in fact, it was a good inn.

It's just that, given his status and wealth, it was quite poor compared to what he could get if he showed off his wealth. Another thing that surprised not only him but also Biacko and the other dragons was that despite how magnificent and developed the city was, there was no demigod living there.

This puzzled them, as they couldn't understand how such a massive and dynamic city could survive without the protection of a higher being. At that moment, Fluffy appeared and said something that surprised everyone: "You don't need demigods when there are spirits."

For them, spirits aren't strange, as Andrew is a candidate for god, and almost nothing bothers him to the point of considering it incredible. Biacko and the dragons had seen several during the war against the fallen god.

What surprised them was the fact that spirits still existed in this world. Everyone believed that spirits had left with the gods and divine beasts after the war. In fact, in this world, the only known existence was the remnants of a water spirit who died in the war and is with Elidyr and his relatives in the land of Rivers.

Not only was this surprising, but the fact that they remained hidden for so many years was also surprising. Biacko was almost certain that not even Crhono knew this information, and it was no small thing.

Spirits are ethereal beings of pure energy. They are not very different from gods, so their existence is not simple. Even more so with all the threats the world faces, the fact that they exist and don't take part is strange.

"Fluffy, do you know where they are?" Andrew asked quickly. He knew Biacko wanted to know but didn't dare ask, so he went ahead. "I feel like there are five of them," Fluffy said.

Without letting anyone get a word in edgewise, he continued, "There are three sea spirits and two land spirits." After saying that, Fluffy spoke again, "I can't locate them, but I'm sure they can locate us."

"Dear lady, do you think they'll come visit us?" Biacko asked in a formal and respectful tone. He knew the existence Fluffy represented, so he didn't dare be disrespectful.

"You don't need to be so formal. Just call me Fluffy like Andrew does," he replied with a smile, to which Biacko could only smile bitterly and say, "I apologize, but I dare not be so familiar."

Andrew and Fluffy laughed at her answer. They could understand, as he's a dragon, and his path is the same as Fluffy's, a divine beast, so they couldn't help but bow down to her. "Fine, but being too formal is awkward. How about big sister?" Fluffy continued teasingly, but Biacko simply said, "I could call you Senior. Nothing less."

Defeated, Fluffy sighed and agreed. "Well, back to your question. Yes, I think they'll come, but they'll observe us first," Fluffy added, and without waiting for anyone, she simply went back inside Andrew.

They wanted to ask her more questions, but she simply said that the spirits showed no hostility, so they should just act normally, and there shouldn't be any problems. Although a little suspicious, they decided to believe Fluffy, as she wouldn't do anything to harm Andrew, and that was reason enough to trust her words, so they acted normally.

Andrew and the others toured the city over the next few days, trying to understand its surroundings and its powers. Being a massive port city connected to the entire world thanks to its harbor, many powers were established there.

Not just commercial organizations, but many dark organizations, assassins, and organizations of different races. There were wood elves, dark elves, dwarves, of course, humans, and even some liquid spirits.

The latter had no connections with Elidyr and the liquid spirits of the Rivers country, perhaps a branch separated after the war. Not all races lived together and lived with their counterparts, so it's not unusual to see a community separated from another race.

The city's power plays were complex, and while it wasn't difficult to understand the dynamics, they were quite complex. Each race had its own domain, and there were very strong and wealthy organizations.

There was no king or ruler because, being such a multiracial city, it was impossible for them to submit to a single person, much less one of a different race. The governing body of the city was the council.

This council is made up of a representative from each race in the city. There were seven in total and included a wood elf, a liquid spirit, a human, a dwarf, a dark elf, a beastman, and a demon.

Although humans are the largest race, they are not the most powerful; in fact, they are the weakest. This is in terms of strength, but when it comes to wealth, it's a different story.

While they rule this city, it is only the worldly aspects of its inhabitants, as the authority of the territory rests with the spirits Fluffy had discovered living here. The council is aware of the existence of these spirits and dares not offend them.

It could even be said that they are the true rulers of the city, but they interfere very little. After a week of gathering information, Andrew made his move. As usual, he bought a property in the city's red-light district to establish his Heavenly Palace.

He no longer needed to be stingy, as he had plenty of money, so he bought a high-status, large property. It wasn't as impressive as the Cannes Palace, but it wasn't far from that level.

The process wasn't wasteful, as with money, things can be accelerated, and Andrew had plenty of it. Now, inside the establishment they bought, Andrew didn't delay and established his temple.

The energy fluctuation generated was imperceptible to everyone but not to the spirits, who were surprised to sense this divinity. Crhono is believed to be the most knowledgeable in divine matters, but that isn't true.

The spirits come from the holy land of the gods, so there is no one more informed and knowledgeable than they are. So the moment Andrew established his Heavenly Palace as a temple, they understood what was happening.

It wasn't long before one of them visited. Unexpectedly, he entered the Heavenly Palace without a care, as if it were his own home, surprising everyone. It is true that they knew it was the temple of a candidate for god, but to enter like this, not even the most powerful experts dared, and this spirit was so casual that it left them astonished.
