章節 15: Abyssal Cavalry
Makai had no idea what was going on out there and he was now looking at his 1,501 Sworn Knights with a satisfied smile, 'Although I didn't receive a system reward for recruiting so many new Sworn Knights, it's still a good harvest. After all, what was supposed to be a facade recruitment, I ended up recruiting so many Bronze Knights... I even recruited a Gold Knight, a knight at the level of a General...'
As he looked at everyone who was now standing in formation looking at him with eyes filled with wonder and curiosity, a pleasant voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Young Lord, what is this Castle Lord System?"
While some youths believed that the Castle Lord System is a hidden ability of the Child of Fate, many other youths also had doubts.
Wagner also waited for the answer. He didn't have much knowledge about the mysteries of the Child of Fate, but he believed that the Knight's Aura should be the only ability, and this aura dramatically increases the strength, agility, and stamina of the entire cavalry.
He had never heard anything like a Castle Lord System.
When the system's cold voice popped into his mind, Wagner tried to reason with it, but there was no response and there was only a blue panel with green-colored words that he could see before his eyes.
As Makai continued to accept new Knights, Wagner closely watched this system panel and when he saw the status window, he was very surprised at the ability of this system to know so much and that it could even calculate their age and life expectancy.
Then he saw two icons just below his status.
The first icon is a black Castle and upon clicking on it, a new screen opened revealing the names he was very familiar with, these were all the young men who had just sworn allegiance to their Young Lord and who were still rising while Makai continued to accept new Sworn Knights.
While all these names were on the left side, there was an arrow on the right side that said, [Chat]. Curious, Wagner intended to click on it as before, but only now did he realize that he only needed his thought, so a new screen with a gray background seemed to be dragged from the right side to the left side over the list of names, and when he thought, 'What is this chat? Hmm? Why can I read what I'm thinking? That...'
After exploring his system, he understood that when he opened the chat window, everything he thought about would be written on the gray screen and he could communicate with everyone who was part of the system. It made him feel amazing, as he knew such a method of communication would be very useful, particularly for someone like him who served in the War of Kings. He saw many possibilities.
As for the second icon below the castle icon, there was a shop icon that said, Sworn Knight Shop.
His name seemed to be very explanatory, but he was still curious to see what was in this store when he opened it and several small slots appeared. These slots were all black with the word [Void] in their centers.
Also, there was a picture of a gold coin in the top corner with an image of a black dragon very similar to the black dragon he had seen in Makai's Aura, and next to that coin was a text box, [Eternal Coin: 0]
Wagner understood that his Young Lord was the one who had control of the entire store and that he would decide what would be sold in it, as it seemed to make sense and that was the only explanation he had.
Makai watched the small figure that made the question, "This Castle Lord System is a branch of my system and this is a unique ability of mine. As my new Sworn Knights, none of you can't reveal anything about the system..."
"Many of you may have already noticed, that there is a Chat where you can communicate with just a thought. The store is empty for now, but soon there will be many items that you can buy..."
After hearing a long explanation, everyone finally understood. At the same time, all were both curious and full of expectations.
"By the way. Tomorrow morning I will leave for the Mystic Valley with Lionel, Salazar, Arnold, Rayane, Alexia, Skar, and Dahlia."
"As for the rest of you, the journey is very long and, together with your families, you will need to prepare many carriages... In three days, I believe that will be enough to finish these preparations."
"Uncle Wagner will lead you on the journey. When I get there, I believe I will have a suitable place for your new abodes. After all, I don't intend to wait for the winter to pass..."
Hearing that Makai did not intend to wait for the winter to pass, they were all surprised, as they knew what it meant, but looking at your Young Lord, he seemed to have confidence in facing the dangers that lurk in the Mystic Valley.
Makai intended to close the matter as he had his own preparations to make and had yet to explore the system's new functions, but Dahlia asked a question that caught everyone's attention, "My Lord, now that there are so many Sworn Knights following the Lord, and as a Child of Fate, your Cavalry will not be ordinary and must have a distinguished name related to the Knight's Aura..."
"What will be the name of our cavalry?"
Makai didn't know what to say, as he hadn't thought of such a question yet and, looking at Dahlia who had bright eyes, seeming to be very interested in this matter, he laughed and seemed to understand her.
"Little girl, aren't you very smart for your age?"
The gleam in Dahlia's eyes was replaced by a proud look, "Young Lord, do not belittle my age, for I, Dahlia, am destined to be the youngest and most fearsome Knight this world has ever seen..."
Daliah looked around at everyone around her as her expression became solemn and her somewhat childish voice echoed throughout the pavilion, "Everyone, in the future, I will be Dahlia, The Rose of the Blood-Soaked Spear!"
This time, everyone who saw and heard her was solemn too, because even though she looked funny, the aura she was giving off at that moment made everyone take her seriously.
Makai was surprised by this. The reason he decided to take her with him on his trip tomorrow was that, after he finished recruiting everyone, he took a quick look at the records containing information about each and, in Dahlia's records, reports that she had been discovered last year on a mountain near Crimson Fort by Uncle Wagner and was being raised by him as she had no parents and had not reported her origins. So Wagner decided to train her, because that was the only way he would keep an eye on her.
'It seems that this little girl has a past...'
After his slight surprise, Makai felt interested, "Young Dahlia, you seem to like titles. Since you asked, you can decide."
Dahlia seemed to have already thought of a name and she replied as soon as Makai gave her permission, "As the Young Lord's Aura is a Black Dragon, naturally it must be related to him..."
"When his silhouette appeared and looked at us with contempt, he seemed to be the king among kings, so there will be the name Emperor..."
"Your aura was so majestic and at the same time it gave chills when the air got heavy and the feeling was suffocating and sinister, so there will be the name Abyssal..."
"Its scales were as black as the darkest night as if no light could penetrate it, so there will be the name Eternal Night..."
"Yes! The Young Lord's aura will be called Eternal Night Abyssal Emperor Dragon..."
"As this name is too big, then our cavalry will be called the Eternal Night Abyssal Cavalry. Once our enemies find us on the battlefield, they will be sent to rest in the eternal night!"
Hearing such words, everyone had eyes filled with wonder as they were fascinated. No one expected a little girl like Dahlia to be so eloquent.
Makai's heart was a little racing, 'That's a big coincidence, right?'
He couldn't help but think that it was a huge coincidence, after all, no one besides him and the system knew that his aura actually had that name.
Makai no longer had that amused look on his face when he looked at Dahlia, he now was taking her seriously, not seeing her as a little girl anymore.
He nodded, "Very well Dahlia, I like that name."
"Let that be our shout of war. When our enemies find us, it will be the day he rests in the eternal night before our, Eternal Night Abyssal Cavalry."
Everyone was excited and couldn't wait to debut on the battlefield and shock the world with his great name.
Wagner also had eyes full of expectation, and his blood, which had not boiled in a long time, seemed to be erupting.
Makai was very pleased with that name and with Dahlia's eloquence. He was about to say his last words before leaving, but the cold voice of the system echoed into his mind.
[Ding!]
[Like a Castle Lord who commands his own Cavalry, a Cavalry is not a Cavalry if there are no horses]
[Congratulations on creating your own Cavalry. The Cavalry System has been unlocked and the host has received 10,000 system points as a hidden reward for entrusting the name of your Cavalry to one of your Sworn Knights]
