...
Sitting in the reception room, Lin Ke looked deeply at the nobles of Azanen.
It was evident that these nobles were highly opposed to Lin Ke’s recent proposal, but were intimidated by his decisiveness and ferocity, none of them dared to speak up.
As for Lin Ke, although he was watching, he was also slowly pondering internally.
The urgent task’s description was too vague, preventing him from accurately understanding and thoroughly analyzing its meaning.
But he grasped the general idea.
The implication was that a devotee of some deity seeks revenge, and the first stop of vengeance seems to be here at Azanen.
For this war, Lin Ke must use one of three methods to fend it off.
The first is to become the so-called lord, using some means to achieve the goals, such as marrying Rica, and forming alliances with other nobles to resist.
This choice seems to completely forsake self-development in strength, and it can be seen from the reward that this is a political advancement.
The second is to become a noble, originally meaning those who are noble in origin, speech, demeanor, etc., but deeper meaning refers to those with noble morals and outstanding qualities.
This choice seems to be molding Lin Ke into an existence like an emperor, as generally speaking, the emperor is the greatest noble.
The third, becoming a general, should be developing in terms of martial might, reaching an apex of combat power where he is invincible on the battlefield.
"It’s a difficult choice..." Lin Ke silently mulled over it internally, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the armrest, making a "thud, thud" sound.
And finally, someone among the Azanen couldn’t hold back.
A young man suddenly stepped forward, furrowing his brow as he spoke: "Young Master Lin Ke, I have no intention of meddling in your dispute with the Clan Council, but I want to ask, why are our guards being confiscated? As far as I know, you don’t have that right."
Lin Ke ended his reverie, casting his gaze toward the young man.
It was a regular noble youth, clad in fire-red Azanen attire interspersed with a few blue-green noble coat of arms.
Apparently a lord, but his maternal family should be similar to Azanen, a viscount clan, hence his attire carried blue-green noble coat of arms.
This noble youth seemed not to be threatening, merely putting forth a proper inquiry, so Lin Ke’s tone wasn’t that cold: "Because, trouble is coming to our Azanen."
Saying this, Lin Ke pointed behind him, continuing:
"Those great nobles, ever since Garoce was trapped in a sub-plane, each and every one couldn’t wait to devour Azanen whole, if not for my teacher, would those old mutts still come out so calmly, snatching food?"
Lin Ke disdainfully glanced at those so-called clan council members.
"But... what does that have to do with taking away our military authority?" The youth still furrowed his brow.
Hearing this, Lin Ke stood up directly, then stood on his seat, loudly stating: "Because I got news, war is approaching! Threatening our Azanen! We need to gather our strength!"
His words were not just directed at this young man, but also at those hesitant Azanen.
"How is that possible?!"
"This is the Gula Kingdom! Which noble would rashly wage war against us?"
"As long as the Insomnia Emperor is around, other countries won’t attack us!"
"A conspiracy! Lin Ke, this is your conspiracy!"
The crowd burst into an uproar.
Some scoffed, even thinking Lin Ke had some scheme.
Some reacted instinctively to believe Lin Ke’s words because his words were confident, but they were somewhat incredulous.
And the questioning youth instinctively said: "Impossible! Nobles wouldn’t do such a thing unless..."
"Beast tide!"
"The Swamp!"
Lin Ke and the youth spoke simultaneously, causing the reception room to suddenly quiet down.
Lin Ke gave the youth an appreciative glance, then continued: "That’s right, the threat of war comes from the magical beast of the Lava Swamp!"
No sooner were the words out than the nobles’ expressions began to change.
Panic, worry, doubt, fear, urgency...
Including those barons and a bunch of lords, all lost their arrogance from earlier.
"Where did you get this news from!!"
"Impossible! The Lava Swamp is always guarded by the Lady of Tides, how could it be?"
"That’s Gula territory, Gula’s Southern Border!"
"Where exactly did your information come from!"
One by one, nobles, no longer cautious, began questioning Lin Ke.
However, just then, the door that Butler Billy had closed while exiting with the Great Elder, opened with a "bang".
A short figure rushed in, catching everyone off guard, but Lin Ke instantly erected a pressure shield defense.
But upon seeing the person clearly, Lin Ke immediately jumped from his chair, delighted: "Knicks! You’re back?"
The visitor was none other than Lin Ke’s rabbitman follower Knicks!
"Mr. Lin Ke! The magical beasts are coming!"
Knicks’ ears stood tall, slightly red, apparently due to recent intense activity causing blood to rush to them, panting with an exceptionally serious expression.
Knicks bent over, ignoring others, and prepared to kneel on one knee, but Lin Ke quickly stepped forward and gave him a strong bear hug, then said: "Don’t rush, speak as we walk."
Lin Ke pulled the moved and anxious Knicks outside, calling Fulon and Baron Puxin along, then looked back at the reception room’s crowd and spoke again:
"I give you two days to regroup, by seven on the third day, I want to see your troops, or else when I’m done dealing with those beasts, I’ll come back and clear out Azanen’s beasts!"
With that, he strode out.
Meanwhile, a decision was made within him regarding the [Urgent Task].
The great nations of past ages often resisted the oppression of fate, whether it be opening up the world, Hou Yi shooting the suns, Dayu controlling the flood, or even Yu Gong moving the mountains...
Lin Ke’s core now was not Naseng, but Yan Huang.
Hence, when thinking, he wouldn’t search for answers from given options.
The system presents what looks like multiple-choice, but it’s not a choice question.
The answer, is self-created.
And as some ideas formed in Lin Ke’s mind, the original task screen indeed changed.
The three choices blurred and finally merged into one.
[Choice: Vast World, Immortal]
