Hail the King

Chapter 964: The Tenth Gold Saint (Part One)

Many things that seemed insignificant and trivial thoroughly demonstrated this young king’s charisma.

Outside Chambord, many people believed that the source of the King of Chambord’s unparalleled reputation and control inside his kingdom came from his insanely powerful strength. They were all wrong.

Fei’s indescribable charisma was the reason why so many geniuses and masters were willing to follow the king and serve him until death.

“Since your strength has reached the requirement that I set before, I can coronate you and make you a Gold Saint.” Fei looked at Brook and said to him with a smile.

Then, the king activated one of the three miraculous skills – [Give].

Fei’s voice suddenly became sacred and majestic, sounding like a giant bell that echoed on its own. “As the King of Chambord, I now coronate you and make you the Gold Saint of Libra, and you will represent justice and fairness, becoming the figure that other Gold Saints should look up to. Like a scale, you will weigh the actions of all officials of Chambord and determine their promotions and demotions!”

Now, Brook finally understood the king’s good intentions.

The 12 spots for the Gold Saints were already announced long ago, and many warriors of Chambord worked toward them and wanted to become one. Seeing his peers all becoming Gold Saints, Brook was a little envious even though he didn’t show it.

However, for a long time, he had to spend most of his energy on managing the kingdom and taking care of things for Chambord. Unlike people such as Pierce and Drogba who could focus all their time on cultivation, Brook’s available time for cultivation was greatly suppressed. As a result, he wasn’t able to reach Moon-Class after several years.

To Brook’s surprise, the king saw all this and granted his wish today.

In the next moment, a golden chest that was engraved with the constellation symbol of Libra descended from the sky and landed before Brook.

At this moment, Brook felt a blood connection to the chest. Next, the sky outside the palace suddenly dimmed and became dark. Then, many stars brightened up in the nightly sky, forming a large image of Constellation Libra. Every single star in the constellation shot down a streak of starlight, and they all merged into Brook’s body.

The spot for the Gold Saint of Libra was finally claimed, and one of the empty Gold Saint Mountains got an owner.

As if it were corresponding to this, the Gold Saint Mountain of Libra behind Chambord suddenly shot out tens of thousands of streaks of light, looking like it was welcoming its master.

After the quick phenomenon, the sky returned to normal. The sun reappeared in the sky, and everything was bright again.

…

After Brook left, Fei finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Helping Brook achieve Moon-Class also accomplished one of Fei’s goals.

Out of the 12 Gold Saints, ten of them were already in place; there were Taurus Drogba, Leo Lampard, Aries Dessler, Gemini Inzagi, Sagittarius Torres, Scorpio Cech, Libra Brook, Aquarius Robbin, and Pisces Akinfeev. Among them, Lampard who seemed to have a bug of his own had already reached low-tier Sun-Class, and the others were all at peak Half Moon. These ten people represented the top-level combat force of Chambord excluding Fei, Elena, Hazel Bank, and the people of [Black-Cloth Shrine].

[TL Note: In the raw, the author said that Dessler is now the Gold Saint of Virgo. I changed it back to Aries so that it is in line with the previous assignment.]

Now, only Cancer Constellation and Virgo Constellation weren’t assigned, but Fei had already found suitable candidates. Once these two people reached Moon-Class, they would be coronated.

By then, all 12 Gold Saints would be complete, and it would satisfy Fei’s biggest hidden joke since he came to this world.

Chapter 964: The Tenth Gold Saint (Part Two)

After helping Brook, Fei only had to worry about Head Minister Bast.

Unfortunately, Fei’s father-in-law wasn’t passionate about cultivation and the spots of Gold Saints. Also, Fei didn’t want his father-in-law to become someone who would fight on the frontline, so he didn’t use the same trick.

According to plan, Fei would now try to figure out ways to help his father-in-law to prolong his lifespan and maintain his good health. This classic old noble was most interested in these two things.

…

In the next ten days or so, Fei stayed in Chambord City.

During this time, since the latest military operation, the expedition to the Anji Empire, had succeeded, the Royal Family of Zenit sent dozens of envoys to Chambord and rewarded Fei with a lot of money and many titles, showing the Royal Family’s great trust in this Imperial Martial Saint. Now, Fei’s status and fame inside the Zenit Empire were above everyone else except Emperor Yassin.

However, Fei didn’t care about these intangible titles.

Despite all this, the largest trees in the forest will still be blown harder on by the wind. This idiom held true in every world.

It was heard that quite a few people attacked Fei’s character in St. Petersburg. They stated that the Chambord Kingdom’s strength was growing too fast and far surpassed the limit that Zenit imposed on affiliated kingdoms. Others said that Fei’s ‘self-proclaimed’ title of Human Emperor of the North showed his wild ambition and desire for treason. These people asked the Royal Family to restrict Chambord’s power and be on guard.

For a moment, the request for Fei to drop the title as the King of Chambord and solely function as the Imperial Martial Saint appeared again, and many nobles now supported it.

Fei only laughed when he heard these attacks.

Why would dragons listen to and mind the insults of ants?

Of course, if some people were determined to realize this request and started to cause real trouble and step over the line, Fei didn’t mind running another bloody cleaning operation.

Right now, Fei was already a demi-god through two of his seven characters, and no one in Zenit could suppress him. Although he had no intention of rebelling, he wouldn’t allow clowns to insult him with accusations that were over the line.

At the same time, information came from the direction of the Capital of Anji.

Cain and Akara didn’t encounter any danger in the sealed space, but their research progress wasn’t that fast. The godly blood chains weren’t an issue anymore, and the two had some preliminary thoughts about how to strengthen the seals. In addition, they decoded most of the laws of time inside the giant stone eggs.

However, they couldn’t reverse the laws of time and create a small world with an inverse ratio where time passed slower in the small world compared to the real world.

Fei didn’t urge these two mad scientists. He was sure that the crazy obsession these two old monsters had toward difficult problems was enough to make them neither sleep nor eat.

The good thing was that these two old monsters from Diablo World seemed to have unlimited stamina and didn’t know anything about fatigue. If not, Fei would have captured them every day and forced them to rest.

This time, Cain and Akara seemed to be more understanding.

Perhaps they guessed that Fei was feeling anxious inside, they sent about a dozen of their most trusted apprentices to start the preliminary process of the Mystical Gold Armor Creation Project in Chambord’s arsenal. Although these apprentices couldn’t complete this insane project, they could engrave the runes on the inside of the armor, saving a lot of time and shortening the manufacturing process.

Like a precise, well-oiled machine, Chambord was working day and night.

Fei was doing the same.
