“All the demiplane teleportation channels have been closed and disappeared without a trace? Is it only the four families? Is the demiplane teleportation channel in Lion Fort still intact?” Kant asked.
“Lord, Lion Fort didn’t send any relevant news. They just reported some ordinary news on time,” Dunde answered respectfully.
“If there is no news, then everything is fine! I got it, you can leave now! Go back to the Baron’s mansion in Stone Pass and wait for the news.”
“Yes, Lord!”
Dunde quickly mounted his warhorse and left.
This news did not waver Kant, because it had nothing to do with the current situation. Kant continued to stare at the depths of the Nahrin Desert, quietly waiting for the arrival of the remaining soldiers.
At this moment, a few lines of words suddenly popped up in his vision, and at the same time, he heard a ding.
“Ding… after an arduous battle, the main quest has been completed.”
“Main quest: ‘The beginning of the road of the emperor, the beginning of the conquest’ has been completed.”
“Reward: 1,000,000 Denar, 1,000,000 Reputation, 100 Honor Points.”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})“Comment: The strength of the Dukedom of Leo has exceeded the system’s expectations, causing the host to experience difficulties. Special Reward: Exclusive Building, ‘Absolute Estate’.”
Kant was overjoyed. It was not because of the completion of the main quest. The reward of the main quest was no longer in his eyes. What made Kant happy was that the system had resumed its normal operation. This meant that he could use battle to grow stronger. The key was that the cycle was extremely short, and the type 3 and type 4 soldiers that were trained from the East County would be able to gain enough experience to level up.
At the same time, a golden card appeared in Kant’s mind. On the card, there was only a circle, which was strange. It did not look like an estate at all.
“System, show me the properties of this building, ‘Absolute Estate’.”
“Absolute estate: an estate with a radius of 10 kilometers designated by the host. Circle it and turn it into an absolute estate that belongs solely to the host. In an absolute estate, the host can isolate the world will’s detection. This absolute estate does not exist in the world will’s eyes at all.”
Kant looked at the attributes of this absolute estate and suddenly felt his hair stand on end. A chill ran through his heart. Could it be that he had always been under the surveillance of the world will?
After the system “digested” this time, what information did it receive that gave him such a reward? Didn’t that mean that the system was already on guard against the world will just like him?
“Ding… Main Quest issued!”
“Main Quest: Establish an empire!”
“Reward: 1000,000 Denar, 100,000 Reputation, 100 Honor Points”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})“Description: The host is requested to officially establish an empire, establish the country’s name, at the same time establish the ruling system, and promulgate the empire’s constitution. Also, confirm the country’s flag, determine the territory’s scope, and determine the troop class to gather the people’s will.”
When Kant finished reading the main quest of the system, the caption on his retina suddenly rolled, and the system actually issued another quest.
“Ding… temporary quest issued!”
“Temporary quest: Side Quest of Strength!”
“Reward: Glory. Sword of the King”
“Description: there has never been an omniscient and omnipotent existence in the world, and this system is no exception. Due to past mistakes, the system guided the host onto a path of power that no one could return to — the path of the world’s noble. In order to make up for past mistakes, the system specially gave the host a chance to choose a new path of power. The host is requested to choose whether to change to a new path of power — the path of the commander. This mission is time-limited. The host only needs to decide ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ If the host does not choose, the default selection is ‘Yes’.”
“60”
“59”
…
Following the appearance of this temporary side quest, a number appeared on Kant’s retina at the same time. Every second displayed a change. Obviously, this quest was limited to one minute.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Kant was really shocked this time. The system actually said that he had made a mistake and led him onto a path of power that no one could return to — the path of the world’s noble. In Kant’s mind, the image of the silver-gray light ball of the world will Isai immediately appeared.
If the path of the world’s noble was really a path that could not be returned, Kant could be sure that there must be the existence of the world will Isai at the end of this path. The power of the world’s noble came from the rules, and the rules all came from the world will Isai. Kant did not know exactly how strong the world’s will was, but he had only vaguely felt it once before. It could only be described as unfathomable. However, the strength of his world’s Baron was nothing in front of the world’s will. He was like an ant.
Kant had already developed a resistance towards the world’s will, and he sincerely thanked the three South County’s world nobles for helping him to understand the terrifying power of the world’s will through the “World Noble and Divine Power Restriction Agreement”. He was willing to endure the power of the world noble families that had been sealed.
And now, the system actually said that this path was wrong, and it was a path of no return. Then Kant’s choice was unquestionable. He resolutely gave up on the path of the world noble families, even if the world noble families could live forever, the power of the world noble families far surpassed the power of a Grand Knight at the peak level.
Kant believed in the system because the system was originally one with him. If he lived, the system would exist. If he died, the system would also be finished.
The system’s loyalty to him did not need to be constant. Based on this alone, the system would not want anything to happen to Kant.
This so-called temporary side quest could be said to be the system giving Kant a chance to change the path of power and break free from the path of the world’s noble. However, from another perspective, wasn’t the system saving itself? In this world, the thing that didn’t want anything to happen to Kant the most was probably the system.
To this end, the system even specially created a so-called time-limited quest. As long as Kant didn’t choose, it would mean that he had decided to change the path of power.
“Yes!” Kant made his choice without hesitation.
The moment Kant made his choice, a heart-wrenching pain spread from Kant’s body. This pain came from every part of the body — because all parts of the body didn’t lack the circulation of blood. That’s right, this pain came from the deepest part of Kant’s bloodline, and Kant’s real name came from the real name of the rules of the world. It was integrated into the deepest part of Kant’s bloodline.
“Ah!” Kant could not help but roar angrily, but he could not faint because the pain had already exceeded the limit and was continuous.
“No need to worry!” Kant assured while he was experiencing intense pain when he saw the surrounding Swadian royal knights frantically pulling out their swords while he was painfully roaring.
