Capítulo 138: Incoming danger
"What do you think you're asking for!?" Simon burst out in rage as axes made of ice slashed towards Alchemist Xian without any forewarning.
The killing intent caused a tense atmosphere in the room and the axes seemed unstoppable in the eyes of those advisors, only then did they realise that their palace head was infinitely close to the firth transformation.
"Why must you be this foolish? You should the the hidden nickname of mine which has already been passed down for thousands of years." Stating calmly, Alchemist Xian released his aura which destroyed the axes and even pushed Simon back.
Alchemist Xian may only be an alchemist who's at the second divine realm in the eyes of others, but only those who know about his background will understand why even Simon fears him. He's the first person who formed the soul elixir which can provide him with boosts in battles and even assist him.
At this peak and last battle which was about two hundred years ago, his soul elixir had quadripled his combat strength in all aspects, his attack, defense, recovery speed and even spirit energy benefitted from it and the soul elixir possessed 110% of his strength.
That epic battle also made him the first Demigod at the fifth transformation to defeat someone who just stepped into the Overlord realm, he was crowned the dual king title as well ever since then and time had yet to erase his existence.
"Your cultivation! You're already at the Overlord realm?" Simon exclaimed in fear and stumbled backwards, but that didn't help as he stepped into the space portal and teleported to the front of Alchemist Xian.
"But the enchanted magical frost heart is just way too precious and even if you have it, there's no way that you can open that sealed ruin without thirty six of those fragments!" Simon stated as he tried to keep his last stand.
"And I already have the remaining thirty two fragments, seven of those legacy kingdoms may have been destroyed by my hands in the process, but that doesn't matter as long as the chosen one is found."
"You should know that we only have lesser than a hundred year worth of time until the great calamity comes. Are you expecting all of us here to wait for death with just the pathetic amount of weak Overlords we have? Even the strongest among them is only at the 74th star among the 108 stars and even with his heaven defying combat strength, just the average 77th star can defeat him."
Alchemist Xian started to explain about the current classified situation known to few and said "It might have been a cruel process, but who among us have made it to our current stage without facing any bloodshed. Face the truth Simon and assist me in opening the ancient ruins of the past, only the few chosen ones and the supporting characters can stop this calamity."
"But, you should know that if we open up the ancient ruins now, it would mean that my Ice palace would lose its greatest chance to cast the five magical fragments array." Simon explained with hesitation, but his voice was already starting to waver as he backed out.
The five magical fragments array was a forbidden array which increases the density of the ice element in the area by ten times and cultivation speed of ice cultivators by fifty percent in exchange of the destruction of nature.
"And then the cultivation universe will be destroyed by those outsiders and all of us would cease to exist once again. Do you want the cultivation civilization we have built up over these million year to perish because of your selfishness?" Alchemist Xian persuaded on and even took out a pill the colour of ice and said "This is the Divinity frost pill and it's the only one I have made after thousands of failed attempts."
Staring at the Divinity frost pill, Simon knows that this is the best offer he can fight for and it was exactly what he needed the most as well. If he has the pill, he was sure that he would only need the short time left to make it to the Demigod seventh transformation.
With a smile on his face, he took out what should be the four magical frost fragments and said "The offer is a deal."
In the meantime, Nightin had found the inn in the kingdom and arranged he room with the highest security measures just so that Cornelia would be save from those perverts.
It wouldn't be gentlemanly of him to leave a damsel in distress even though he didn't hold any responsibility, it was more of him not going against his personal character and morals.
Even though he didn't like Cornelia for her pestering attitude and how she made him the target for those archers, he couldn't fully pin the blame on her either.
Honestly speaking though, how did I melt the barrier in her heart through a battle? Nightin question within his heart before stepping out of the room and said to Robin who was waiting "Sir Robin, will you be arranging for me to enter the Evil Academy now?"
"No, your potential has made us sign another agreement with the Evil Academy." Robin replis calmly as Nightin chases on "What is it?"
"From today onwards, you will be a ninth grade Noble in the Voyager Kingdom and would be permitted to build up your personal army, but its manpower must be below ten thousand. You'll also receive ten thousand origin stones monthly and certain minor privileges."
"After a solemn discussion with the Evil Realm itself, we have agreed to let you serve both sides and once you enter reach the ranks of a Supreme Noble which no one has ever achieved in the Voyager Kingdom, you'll then be let in on the current dire straits of the world."
"But remember, you only have eighty years worth of time at most and we won't be providing you any assistance, you are to do everything by yourself."
After hearing to Robin's long speech, Nightin asked "Where can I recruit the manpower needed?"
"That would be up to you. You can also choose to recruit a thousand average soldiers from the Voyager Kingdom with your authority if you like to, but take note that they'll only he middle aged Martial Lords at best." Robin explained patiently, his quill pen vibrating at the side to rush its master as it drew a portal of its own accord.
"Alright, thank you Sir Robin for letting me in on all these information." Nightin bowed down to ninety degrees with his right fist thumped on his chest, that was the highest degree of respect in the Voyager Kingdom and even the subjects would rarely use it.
"Foolish child, go on and embark on your journey. I await the day your name resounds across the cultivation universe. You will become a legend which not only the younger generation looks up to, but a legendary figure whose name will be recorded with the highest prestige in the records." Robin muttered to himself after Nightin left the room.
After pondering for awhile, Nightin knows that it would be foolish of him if he didn't exploit the system's assistance now.
Heading towards the young recruitment camp where all the new blood and soldiers with lesser than three years of experience are, he then told the General "I believe that I am privileged to choose a thousand soldiers."
The General then turn around and saluted "That's right, Noble Nightin, you are of your free will to choose the thousand soldiers, but whether they are willing to serve you and their loyalty towards you would be dependent on yourself."
The general didn't hold any menacing intent towards Nightin though, he would rather deal with straightforward brats than those youths who beat around the bush and try to gain his favour.
Finishing what he had to say, the General turned around and left without even turning back, his solemn face calm as usual and his silent footsteps made him feel dangerous.
Walking up the the soldiers who had just entered the army, he said at a voice in which the soldiers can barely hear "I am a newly appointed ninth grade noble and I am here to recruit a thousand soldiers into my army."
Even though there were close to ten thousand soldiers at the moment, none of them responded to him except for a few in which a sharp glint flashed past their eyes for a moment.
Looking at those few, Nightin didn't jump to a decision and instead added on "Those who are interested can stand out, but do take note that I won't be providing you with any additional cultivation resources except the built-in facilities at my residence.
Nightin didn't boast off his facilities yet, he wasn't able to ensure their loyalty level yet at this point of time. Who knows how they would react after realising the ten times faster cultivation speed and the combat strength and laws assistance they can receive which exceeds that of life and death situations.
