Chương 1136: If not me then you?

Eldrin's eyes sparkled as he laid out his plan, sensing that Liam was beginning to understand the gravity of what he was saying. 

"See, if we manage to get our champion to win the recruitment event, that would indeed grant us access to the system nexus and some influence within the royal court." 

"But what if I told you we could also be the recipient of the World Tree's blessing? Imagine the power and leverage that would provide us! I mean you! You!"

Eldrin cleared his throat awkwardly and continued, "My liege, I do not want the ancient's blessing. Honestly. It would make me powerful, yes but not by that much."

"They say that the guardian gives us what we need the most as a blessing. One is allowed only one blessing and cannot once again invoke the blessing the next cycle."

"Lord Liam-" Eldrin began to explain more.

"Just Liam will do."
