Novel Full 111 Chapter 111: Six's suggestion
“Rezen, I feel like I could shatter a boulder with a single punch!” Neil exclaimed while clenching his fist
Currently, the three of them; Rezen, Neil, and Six were strolling around the Greenwood City
They already finished turning both Maze and Neil into Tattoo Warriors with the latter definitely stronger than the former
After all, Maze is only a 2nd fusion rank mage and a 1st rank Tattoo Warrior. Even if Neil’s mage path is inferior, his brute strength as a 3rd rank Tattoo Warrior could definitely defeat someone like Maze
“That’s not an illusion, you definitely could shatter a boulder with a single punch” Rezen replied
Tattoo Warriors at that level can send a punch as strong or stronger than magic spells at their level
Shattering a boulder is nothing but a piece of cake
“Really?! Damn, you’re really amazing. And to think just months ago you were complaining about not having a golden finger. Wait, don’t tell me you actually have one? Be honest to me!”
Neil’s eyes were staring at Rezen eagerly as if he wouldn’t let him off without receiving an answer
“Y-you’re thinking too much. I-I just had some fortuitous encounter” Rezen answered awkwardly while looking at Neil incredulously
Neil definitely hit the bullseye to the point that Rezen wondered if this friend of his actually broken through the ‘fourth wall’
“Tsk… aside from you, who could have such a powerful and mysterious Master suddenly?” Neil sneered.
“A-anyway, I’m eager to watch you get your revenge from that asshole from the Ystantine Family. Where can we meet them?” Rezen said to change the topic and fortunately, he succeeded
“You’re right, thinking of it, I’m also eager to avenge myself. Hehehe, with my new powers, I definitely could avenge myself! But wait, he is from the Ystantine Family. Wouldn’t I be courting death if I offend them?”
In his family, Neil is the only one that is treading the path of mages yet he is only a 1st fusion rank mage
Compared to the Ystantine Family, he was like an ant. No matter how much he wants to avenge himself, there are still a lot of things to be considered
“How is the strength of the Ystantine Family? Do they have 6th fusion rank mages?”
“I don’t know if they have one but they have a lot of mages at the 5th fusion rank! More than what the Ceres Family has!”
Now, this is tricky. Rezen can only hope that there isn’t a peak powerhouse amongst the Ystantina Family
After all, even if Rezen has connections, 6th fusion rank mages are still at the top of the ‘secular world’
With Rezen’s current strength, even if he and his subordinates cannot kill 5th fusion rank mages they can still survive. But a mage above that rank… if they were angered then with their various means…
“Then I’ll ask Rain or Florine later. If they don’t have then don’t be afraid of them!”
The trio continued on their way when Rezen’s attention was caught by a part of the city where several houses in a row were utterly destroyed
“What happened here?” Rezen asks curiously while pointing at the demolished houses
“Oh, right, I almost forgot about this! Rezen, you don’t go inside the City often but the City is actually very dangerous these days!”
[0)ᴠʟ “There are many cases where civilians and weak mages are attacked by the terrorists, Twighlight Beasts!”
“Their battles resulted in the destructions of property. Sigh… these people are pitiful, they lost their valuables but the legendary mage didn’t appear again to fix things”
The legendary mage that Neil was pertaining to is most likely the mage that returned the infrastructures back to normal after Space Fox and the others attacked the Greenwood City
Neil doesn’t know who that mage was and even Rezen from his connections only learned that the mage was above the 6th fusion rank mage and with their mysterious power, they easily returned all the city’s infrastructure back to normal
After all, in that battle, the damage to properties was severe and would take a long time and a lot of money to restore everything back to normal
As for the small battles, it seems like it wasn’t enough for the legendary mage to make a move again
“Such power…” Rezen can’t help but admire that mage after he remembered them
With a wave of their hand, the severely damaged City was restored back to normal. How could they do such a thing?
“Wait… how about you and your parents? Don’t you want to move out considering the dangers?” Rezen said with a frown
He rarely went inside Greenwood City after acquiring his system and he is really clueless about what was happening inside. He didn’t expect that even the inside of the city is already dangerous
“Sigh… even if we want to move out, where? Other cities are also like this. No one expected that the power of the Twighlight Beast was already this terrifying!”
“I even feel bad for the parents that loses their children and the children that became orphans! There was a sudden large influx of orphans in the city!”
Without power, one’s life would be at the mercy of others. That is the truth of this world
“Indeed, they are pitiful…” Rezen agreed before Six joined the conversation
“Master, I have another suggestion. Can I speak?” Six said respectfully
No matter how many times Rezen tried to make his subordinates treat him like a friend, they are still overly polite
“Yeah, sure, what is it?”
“Master, why don’t you adopt the orphans?”
“Huh? Like a charity? Why the sudden suggestion? Do you feel bad for them? If you do then I can give you some money and you can donate it to the orphanage”
“Master, I don’t care about other people, I only care about you. I suggested for Master to adapt the orphans so that you could turn them into Tattoo Warriors and add them to your force”
At that, Rezen’s eyes twinkled. An Artificial Human is definitely superior to most humans whether it be their absorption or comprehension talent
These AH are all above average by human standards. Although they are not the cream of the crop, they are still considered elites
Moreover, they are all loyal to Rezen. The only downside was that growing each and every one of them was extremely expensive
However, if Rezen takes in more subordinates and turns them into Tattoo Warriors that don’t need to fear the side effects of the said path… wouldn’t Rezen’s dream of forming a powerful organization comes true?
Right now, that dream of his was halted considering that it would cost a lot of money. He can’t just plant one Artificial Human after another
But if it’s normal humans then things might be different
Rezen already had a taste of how convenient and awesome having subordinates was
Just look at the ‘Keito’ incident. Rezen wouldn’t be able to subdue him if not for Zero’s help. Not to mention subdue, Rezen might have died back then
“B-but adapting orphan ehem… isn’t that like child labor?” Rezen said awkwardly. He still has some humanity inside him and to make kids his subordinates and make them work their asses off…
“Master, those orphans would starve to death if they continue to increase. With their feeble strength, they also have a high chance of dying”
“If Master recruited them then Master could turn them into powerful warriors! Even if Master cannot mass produce 4th rank Tattoo Warriors, an army of 3rd rank Tattoo Warriors shouldn’t be a problem”
A single seed of quality 4 Spirit Plants costs tens of thousands of mana stones. If Rezen only needed one or two of them then there is no problem
But if he decided to form an army then he would definitely need millions of mana stones that he currently lacks
As such, Rezen could only form a small elite group of 4th rank Tattoo Warriors and a large army of 3rd rank Tattoo Warriors with his current finances
“Master, if you recruit them then you would be helping them greatly. Besides, doesn’t master like cute things? Just imagine an army of kids charging at your enemies”
In Rezen’s imagination, an army of ‘minions’ was attacking a mighty dragon. Instead of being cute, it looks funny but if that imagination is turned into reality then Rezen felt like he was abusing the kids
“Wow… I didn’t expect that Six could be this heartless” Neil unconsciously muttered while seeing Six in a new light
“I’m just trying to help my Master” Six justified
“Let’s forget about this now. But your suggestion sounds good just that instead of recruiting kids, I would like to recruit adults”
Rezen would definitely be frowned upon if he does Six’s suggestion. Since he wanted to form more connections while he was still weak then he can’t recruit those orphans
Still, Rezen is already considering mass-producing Tattoo Warriors that are adults
He doesn’t want to resort to child labor. But soon, without him knowing, whether he likes it or not, he would still decide to gather the orphans
