"You and I have the same power, but unfortunately, the power you control now is something I have never mastered, so I need your power to help me become stronger and more perfect."
Muria whispered, while the young officer Eric knelt in front of him and listened. He probably understood why he was acting strangely when facing the king, but after understanding the reason, he became even more confused.
Because he didn't know how to respond, his king clearly told him that he wanted to take away his power, and because he was too weak, he was asked to practice well now.
But even if he was extremely loyal and admired this king, there was still something strange in his heart. He was not a crazy fan, and he didn't want to lose his power. Living in troubled times, he knew very well what losing power meant.
"I don't ask if you are willing to dedicate your power to me, because this kind of question is meaningless, because whether you are willing or not, I will take your power away, and you have no choice."
Muria walked to Eric and patted him on the shoulder, "But you are not my enemy, you are a soldier fighting for me, and I will never treat you badly. I took your
Strength will give you more in return. So, is there anything you want?"
"I want to be made a marquis!" Eric said what he wanted immediately without much thinking.
"You're so rude." Muria also laughed when he heard the request made by the young officer, but there was no surprise. A normal man who grew up under the influence of the military merit conferment system would basically behave like this.
pursuit.
"I agree." Muria readily agreed to such conditions, "After you complete your ninth awakening, you will dedicate your power to me, and I will personally confer a title on you."
"Ninth awakening?" Eric raised his head in confusion and looked at Muria. For the first time, he saw another side of the king that he admired so much, shameless.
It is simply ridiculous to give him the power after nine awakenings and then be granted the title of marquis. With the power he possesses after nine awakenings, even a brainless pig can be granted the title of marquis.
"Do you think the difficulty is too high? Eight awakenings are enough. This is the lowest baseline and cannot be lowered any further."
Seeing the astonished expression on the young officer's face in front of him, Muria thought for a while and then lowered the conditions. Each time he awakened, the difficulty would be doubled compared to the last time.
"Eight times?" Eric's face became even weirder. If he has the power of nine awakenings and can be granted a title without using his brain, then after eight awakenings, he can be granted a title with his eyes closed.
"Do you still think the difficulty is too high? But this cannot be lowered. For practice, you can rest assured that all the resources you need are freely available. I will give you as much as you can use."
"No, Your Majesty, after I have the power of eight awakenings, I don't need to beg you to make me a marquis. I can kill it myself on the battlefield, so, that..."
After understanding some of the characteristics of his king, Eric relaxed a little and his mind became more active.
"Do you want another benefit?" Muria said with a smile. It was just him who tricked this little guy, but he didn't expect him to react so quickly.
"That's right." Eric nodded crazily. It was really stupid to exchange the power of eight awakenings for a title. With this power, he would be able to fight for the title on the battlefield.
"Okay, what do you want?"
"I want..." When the highest pursuit in life was separated from the benefits he wanted, Eric fell into confusion because he didn't know what he wanted.
In his understanding, having power means you can have everything. The titles sought after by countless soldiers of the Blazing Sky Kingdom are also within easy reach after reaching a certain level of power, not to mention others.
"..." Eric gradually fell into silence. He thought seriously, but he still couldn't think of anything else he wanted.
"In addition to becoming a marquis, there is nothing else you want?" Seeing this young officer's appearance, Muria burst into laughter.
At the same time, Muria also secretly lamented the horror of the farming system. People who grew up under this system were all bloodthirsty tigers and wolves who were keen on killing.
"No...no more." Eric really couldn't think of anything else he could propose to Muria.
"Really? In that case, let me tell you something." Muria walked slowly in Eric's small single dormitory, then turned around and stared at the young officer who was still kneeling on the ground.
, "Power, what do you think?"
"What?" Eric was a little confused.
"The power in you is what I need. I must get it. After you complete eight awakenings, I will deprive you of all the power, but I can give you another power. What do you think?"
"Is this okay?" Eric's face showed a look of surprise.
"Of course no problem."
"Great!" The young officer waved his fist excitedly.
"It seems that you are satisfied. If so, then you should practice hard. Next, I will arrange for someone to contact you. You will provide him with all the cultivation resources you need, and he will satisfy you."
Muria patted the young man on the shoulder again, very satisfied with his attitude.
As a king, he naturally has to be grand in what he does. Although it would be unpleasant to spread the word about taking away the power of his subordinates, Muria still had to tell him clearly and give him corresponding compensation.
With his current status, there is no need to play the trick behind the scenes, it is too cheap.
"Hu" After seeing Muria disappear in front of him, Eric leaned back and sat on the ground, his whole body limp, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"What is this?" Eric smiled bitterly, because everything that had just happened was beyond his ability to bear. He never thought that one day his king would stand in front of him and tell him that I need your power.
. : :
This sudden change made Eric feel uneasy, because he could no longer predict what his future would be like, but he was full of expectations for this future.
Because the king said that he needs the power after he has completed eight awakenings. He has no confidence in whether he can complete the eight awakenings, but he has confidence in the king and the country. He believes that if the king wants to cultivate him
If so, then he will definitely be able to complete eight awakenings.
A few days later, as expected, a mysterious being shrouded in black robes and carrying an unknown aura visited his dormitory in the dead of night, and then inquired about his need for cultivation resources.
Then, after he told him the cultivation resources he wanted, this person who made him feel very uncomfortable sent them to him at a jaw-dropping speed.
Apart from communicating with this mysterious black-robed being and obtaining unlimited training resources, Eric found that his life had not changed much.
Because the being in black robes issued a gag order to him, strictly prohibiting him from telling any third party about anything related to him and the king, claiming that this was to protect his safety.
Therefore, the dream of getting rich overnight and becoming famous overnight did not happen, but his life today seems to be the same as before, but if you really observe carefully, you will find that it is different from before. Mobile version::
For example, no matter what he wants to do now, although he will experience some setbacks, he will definitely complete it successfully. His luck seems to be very good, just like the protagonist in folklore.
However, Eric knew very clearly that this halo of the protagonist was forcibly placed on him. Therefore, he attributed all these imperceptible changes in his life to Muria, and in fact it was true.
That's true.
Giving him a wonderful and perfect protagonist life can be regarded as a kind of alternative compensation for him.
…
The flames of war spread, the world was in turmoil, war, chaos, killing, death, plunder...the main theme of this world where epics once fell. However, with the passage of time, this main theme was gradually changed, and it was different from the previous one.
There is a difference.
Peace, stability, tranquility, chirping of birds, fragrance of flowers, cheers...these things that can only be found in peaceful and prosperous times also appear in this chaotic world, or to be more precise, the most powerful country in this world has appeared.
in.
The breath of peace is already hovering in this country called Blazing Sky, but the breath of war has not left.
Because the Blazing Sky Kingdom is the biggest initiator of war in this chaotic world, almost all the countries in the seven-disaster world have united to fight against the Blazing Sky Kingdom. This is an unprecedented sight.
In this war, which was basically a war between the Chitian Kingdom and the power of one country against the entire world, countless heroes emerged one after another like crucian carp crossing the river.
Among them, a being named Eric is the most dazzling. He is like the sun in the sky, blocking the light emitted by other geniuses.
At this time, this rising star, who was already known as the world's number one genius and was about to be crowned a prince, was at the center of power in the Kingdom of Blazing Sky, and countless people were eager to enter its imperial palace.
"See Your Majesty!" The tall general knelt on one knee and worshiped the unfathomable being sitting above him.
"It's been five years since I last saw you. You've made great progress! It's faster than I expected."
Muria stood up from the throne, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the calm and mature Lee below... the general sighed.
"Your Majesty is very complimentary. All the achievements I have achieved now are all due to your cultivation. Without you, I would be just an ordinary young officer."
