Second World Novel

Chapter 1058 1058. Preparing For World Conquest



“You have been sitting on that throne doing God knows what for hours already. Care to explain what you’re doing to us, the low people?” Spring Crown was there by Master’s side with Linda.

The others had gone away to do other tasks.

“No,” Master replied.

“Give him a position as you did to me. Perhaps he can then see these screens,” Linda said.

“Oh, yes! Give me, please. I’m dying to see the screens. Whatever these screens are,” Spring Crown said.

Master didn’t give any response. Spring Crown thought the guy must have ignored him again when suddenly multiple screens materialized before him.

On the main screen right before Master, he saw his portrait on one of the boxes marked with the Councilor title. There were two empty boxes beside his portrait. Above him was Linda’s portrait marked with the title, High Councilor.

The High Councilor title was equivalent to the Royal Advisor rank in Themisphere.

“Holy cowโ€ฆ No wonder you spent so much time in this oversized chair,’ Spring Crown whistled.

“This is called the monarch system,” Linda informed him.

“This is very, very interesting. This is a country simulation gameโ€ฆ Hey! I know you are a genius but you are inexperienced in gaming matters. How about letting me play this simulation? I don’t get my number one gamer title just by playing a single type of game,” Spring Crown said to Master.

“Give me your council if you like, but only I touch these control panels,” Master replied.

“Tsk!” Spring Crown uttered.

“This is rather depressing,” Linda said. “More than half the officials have quit. We have lots of empty portraits here.”

“Hmph! We don’t need those officials. This country’s army is still intact for me to command,” Master said.

“An army still needs leaders to be effective,” Linda said. “Only one of the three High Marshalls remained. That is a huge decrease in our fighting power.”

“Our members’ levels continued to increase. They will soon rival these high-ranking military officers. The army will soon just be meat shields for us to make use of.”

“But then we won’t be able to go on the offensive as soon as we want to,” Linda argued. “We need time to organize people to fill up this post first. Otherwise, the command in the army will be a mess.”

“Pick players from our guild. We will put them in these empty slots. Get them to familiarize themselves with the troops so they can mobilize as soon as possible.”

“As you wish,” Linda said. “But this is a surprise. My intel in Themisphere tells me that the governing structure there is still mostly intact despite an outworlder becoming their king. I’ve expected a similar situation here.”

“Even though the basis of this world is a game system, it came into being by using the real world. So, the hole in the system was filled by copying the real world’s rules. The difference in our situation must be caused by reputation. He is hailed as that country’s hero and although once convicted as the prince’s murderer, his charge was dropped. I, on the other hand, truly murdered the ruler of this country to seize the throne. Not to mention, I also helped topple the previous ruler. This must be the reason why many discontented officials chose to quit their prestigious positions rather than continue to serve me.”

“That is truly fascinating, but one thing piqued my curiosity,” Spring Crown said. “I can’t help but notice that you seemed to be still learning thisโ€ฆ Monarch System. For one who claimed to have made this world, it is weird that the creator is studying the contents he made. It’s almost like, you have no idea this monarch system exists in the first place.”

Master didn’t give any response.

Spring Crown continued, “This also makes me notice that you only start usurping Igneos’ throne after you hear about that Storm Wind player becoming the King of Themisphere. Do you only realize that a player can become the sovereign of this world’s countries after hearing the news?”

“Careful, number one gamer. You are of use but it doesn’t mean you are indispensable,” Master said.

“Forgive me, my lord. It’s just my free-speaking mouth spouting nonsense. Please, don’t take it seriously,” Spring Crown said with an exaggerated bow.

“Well, anyway. There is much to do if we want to organize the army for world conquest,” Linda said, trying to change the subject. “Liguritudum has always been a militaristic country. Both previous rulers continued drafting the population regularly. Even with the loss from the civil war, we still have three and a half million troops. But this is hardly enough to defeat the other countries. I suggest for our first conquest, we need to play it smart. We can’t waste our troops before our attempt at conquest becomes public knowledge.”

“What do you propose?” Master asked.

“Give me some time to work with it,” Linda said.

“Don’t take too long. I dethroned Igneos because he is delaying me from my objective. I am not delaying it now that I hold the reins.”

“I’ll try my best,” Linda replied.

“What should I do?” Spring Crown asked. “Should I continue to travel around countries searching for where the other two divine treasures are located?”

“One,” Linda said.

“Oh?” Spring Crown turned to her questioningly.

“Only the Ice God Sphere is still missing. We already know where the Book of Creation is.”

“Really? Where?” Spring Crown asked.

“Inside Everlasting Heavenly Legend.”

“Storm Wind’s guild? How do you know?”

“From Mistress,” It was Master who answered. “They had a battle with Wicked Witches guild recently. In that battle, several magic players perform combination casting of the same mega spell.”

“I see. Considering the nasty probability of a mega spell dropping, it is impossible for one guild to get so many technique books of the same mega spell. That’s why you suspect they used the copying ability of the Book of Creation to make that happen?”

“That’s the only explanation,” Master said.

“Do we know who in that guild has it?”

“It is unlikely the divine treasure is held by a common member. It must be with one of the leaders. Since Storm Wind already had one divine treasure inside him, the Book of Creation has to be either with the player named Saint John, or the one called Jeanny,” Master answered. He made a short glance at Linda when saying. Spring Crown thought it was an odd glance.

“Okay, then I only have the Ice God Sphere to search for,” Spring Crown said.

“Halt the search. You will help Linda organize the army,” Master said. “Once we take over this world, we can search for it with ease.”

“I’m yours to command,” Spring Crown again made an exaggerated bow.
