Chapter 36 Arriving At The Capital
After Roger finished speaking, if it weren’t for the fact that the three of them knew that Roger wasn’t crazy and that there was a contract to keep his words in check, they would have thought that Roger was making up a story.
For a moment, the three of them didn’t know how to respond to Roger’s words, which had crushed their worldviews.
Roger also knew that what he said was a little hard for the three of them to accept, so he didn’t rush them. Instead, he let the three of them think on their own and stay
clear-headed.
As Kasri’s personality was the calmest, after a moment of thought, she was the first to ask,
“Roger, according to what you said, what will happen when the two worlds merge in ten years? What kind of impact will it have on our world?”
Roger immediately gave an answer as soon as Kasri finished speaking.
“After the two worlds merge, all the resources, population, continents, and everything will be mutually beneficial.
At most, after the two worlds merge, the worlds’ ability to withstand their counterparts will increase, and the powerhouses who have reached the peak will have the possibility of advancing a step further.”
After hearing Roger’s explanation, Kasri fell into silence again.
According to Roger, after the two worlds merged, no harm would come to their world. Not only could they obtain resources that other worlds didn’t have, but they could also increase the strength of the strongest people in their world. There were simply no disadvantages at all.
“How big of an impact would it have on the other world?”
Roger looked at Lan Bingling in surprise and then gave the answer.
“It would be similar. However, that world does not have extraordinary powers, instead it has terrifying technology.
When the two worlds merge, the initial restrictions are greater. Only inanimate objects, along with the various extraordinary energies of your world, can pass through the world barrier.
With this buffer period, the powerful technology of that world combined with the extraordinary energy that was diverted from this world, they would be able to adapt and use it in an extremely short time.
In the later stages, when the two worlds are completely fused and the other world has completely adapted to the extraordinary energy, it will possess abilities that are not inferior to the mightiest in this world.”
After hearing Roger’s story, the three of them looked at each other. They didn’t know how to deal with this world fusion in ten years.
While looking at the three of them struggling, Roger comforted them,
it’s useless for you to worry about this now. Only by improving your strength as much as possible and expanding the forces behind you before the two worlds merge, can you safely survive the crisis in ten years.
Roger’s words were like a bright light that lit up the fog that troubled the three of them. No matter what would happen ten years later, it was not something they should consider now that they were all only at the Second-rank.
In the Empire, the strength of a Second-rank couldn’t even be compared to that of a footsoldier in the elite army. If they spent their time thinking about the problems of the ultimate powerhouses, wasn’t that just looking
for trouble?
What they should do now was to improve their strength and influence as much as possible in the next 10 years, just as Roger had said.
After thinking it through, the three of them
instantly let
go of the knots in their hearts. When he saw the three of them calming down Roger said,
“It seems that the three of you already know what our current goal is.
In that case, I won’t say anything more. I’ll just
warn you that even if the sky falls, only the
four of us will know this.
No one else must know of this, be it your
parents, friends, or even your confidantes. You should know the importance of this matter. Once it spreads, what will the consequences be?
So no matter what, you can’t reveal this. Do you understand?”
After Roger’s warning, the three of them
looked at each other and nodded in unison.
“We know, Roger.
We definitely won’t tell a fifth person about
this, so don’t worry.”
After getting the affirmation from Kasri and the other two, Roger continued,
“Since you now know my secret, then let’s put
this matter behind us. Let’s make preparations and return to the capital.
According to the introduction letter, we only have thirteen days at most.
If more assassins have been sent our way, we’ll
be very lucky to reach the capital in thirteen
days.”
As soon as Roger finished speaking, the three
of them looked embarrassed. Kasri then turned
to Roger and said in a soft tone, “I’m sorry, Roger.
I’ve given you much trouble during the
journey. I’ll definitely reward you handsomely when we return.”
Faced with the apology from Kasri and the other two, Roger casually teased her,
“The three of you have already given yourselves to me to be my wives. What kind of
generous reward are you going to give me to thank me?”
As soon as Roger said this, the three of them
blushed. They rolled their eyes at Roger and ran into the house. Roger’s mood immediately brightened up as he looked at the three of them, who were blushing
and didn’t dare to remain in the same place after being teased by him. He sat on the stone chair with a smile on his face and waited for
the three of them to pack up before setting off for the capital again.
As Kasri and the other two did not have many
items, they finished packing in about ten minutes.
While looking at the valiant Kasri and the other
two who were ready to set off, Roger casually
dispersed the Dark Moon Magic Array that covered the courtyard.
He would lead the three of them on a dangerous journey to the capital.
The journey to the capital was indeed as Roger had expected. Young Master Long, Lan Tiantian, and Klino had all set up ambushes to
kill Kasri’s group of three on the only way to
the imperial capital. However, these subordinates were nothing in front of Roger. Each time, Roger would discover their whereabouts in advance, and
then he would activate all sorts of spells from a long distance to capture and kill them all in one go.
As for Young Master Long’s group, after ten instances of all their assassins being killed by an unknown force, they understood that the three of them had experts helping each other.
Thus, they did not send any more people to kill the three of them.
However, even though he did not send anyone
to kill the three of them, he did send assassins
to poison them.
Fortunately, Roger’s light magic wasn’t to be
trifled with. Every time, he would discover the poison in advance and purify it.
Just like that, after a journey of killing and poisoning, Roger and the other three finally arrived at the capital the day before the Royal Academy’s assessment.
Due to the identity of Kasri and the other two, Roger separated from the three of them when he arrived at the gate of the imperial capital. He
found an Inn to stay in and prepared to rest up for the entrance examination of the Royal
Academy tomorrow.
