After David and Celia returned to River City, they flew straight to the Capital.
Since Old Master Stefani asked him to arrive at the Capital in three days, there must be something very important going on. After arriving at the Capital and sending Celia home, David calls Mason back and tells him that he has arrived at the Capital.
With that, Mason sends someone to pick up David. They met in the same large courtyard the last time. David pushed the door open and found Mason waiting for him in a chair in the yard with his eyes closed. The difference is, this time Mason's great-grandson, Julia, wasn't there, and only Mason was present.
“Old Master Stefani.” call David with respect.
David greatly admired the power of this legendary old man as well as his contribution to Somerland.
“You're already here.” Mason closed his eyes and replied.
“Ya.”
“Go and grab a bench inside the house so you can sit here.”
“Good.”
After David finished speaking, he went inside the house, brought the bench out, and sat down next to Mason.
“David, now that you have reached this level, there are a few things you should know.”
“Please tell me, Old Master Stefani.”
“What do you think about the situation in Somerland at the moment?” ask Mason.
David thought for a moment and said, “Somerland is one of the two great empires, so the situation in the country is naturally quite good.”
“It was only on the surface, but in fact, there was a great upheaval in Somerland, and the country is in a precarious state.”
“How is it possible?” David asked in surprise.
As one of the two great empires, Somerland was the only country that could fight Falconia alone. Could there be a major upheaval in Somerland? Could the country be in a precarious state?
If that was the case, would Falconia not have taken action earlier?
If a hegemonic kingdom like Falconia had the chance to overthrow Somerland, it would never be a good thing. Falconia had long wanted to be the boss of this world, but Somerland had always restricted them.
“Although I want to tell you that although it sounds impossible, but it is true. It's still peaceful because I'm not dead. Once I die, Falconia will try to pick up the pieces
the biggest Somerland cake. At the same time, the state and other powers also want to bite" Mason said in a low voice.
“Old Master Stefani, did you ..” David shuddered when he saw Mason.
Then, he carefully used the strength of his mind to sense the aura of the old man. Mason also doesn't stop him and lets David do it.
Shortly thereafter, David could feel Mason's body like the scorching sun. It was flaming and its aura was so strong that David, a master who had just surpassed the Peak Dragon Rank, trembled.
Even so, at the same time, David also felt the aura of Mason gradually fade away with time in the body that was burning like the scorching sun. Moreover, it was an irreversible decline.
Just like how everyone is going through birth, aging, disease, and death.
David looked at Mason with wide eyes. 'Was Somerland's legendary parents almost at the end of his life? No way!
David found it hard to accept. The old man had dedicated his life to Somerland. He guided Somerland from an oppressed country to the heights it is today. It has now become one of the two great empires in the world and has transformed from a prey into a predator.
It could be said that no one in the world had ever achieved such a feat. He's like a stabilizing force for Somerland. As long as he was there, no one, including Falconia, dared to have ill intentions towards Somerland. This was the deterrent power of this old man.
Now, the legendary life of this old man was about to end. David's eyes were slightly red. They had learned about the old man's heroic act since childhood. They learn about how he guided a small and weak country like Somerland into a big and powerful one step at a time.
“David, you don't have to be sad. Everyone will experience this. I have lived for 128 years, which is far beyond the lifespan of ordinary humans. I'm not afraid to die, but if I die, there will be no one in Somerland who can hinder and intimidate all parties, and this will put Somerland in a passive position. I don't want this to happen, so that's why I'm struggling on the brink of death.”
“Old Master Stefani, can't Somerland protect himself after years of developing?” ask David.
“If the magnetic field does not develop so quickly, of course, it is possible. Now the magnetic field is almost all over the country. This was not only a form of protection so that others could not threaten Somerland, but also a cage because Somerland could not threaten others as well. At this moment, we need the deterrence of the individual with the highest combat power. There are three Guardians in Somerland including me, namely, the masters in the God Rank who are above Dragon Rank, and there are seven people who are God Rank Partials like you. We all form the highest organisation of Somerland, the Parliament of Somerland. In addition, Somerland had a secret organization consisting of the top-ranked Dragon Rank, namely Team Dragon. These people represented the Somerland's top-class fighting force. Meanwhile, Falconia had four Guarrians on the surface, but there was actually another one in the darkness, so there were a total of five guards. The number of people they had in the Partial God Rank realm was more than double that of Somerland. This is a matter of history and background because in the end Somerland has just risen in the last few decades. They're just afraid to take action now that I'm alive. As soon as I leave, Falconia will move and the other troops will also want to bite as they smell the blood.
By then, Somerland will be in great danger.”
“So what should we do?” ask David.
He was a bit at a loss for words. This great empire was actually supported by an old man who was over a hundred years old. Once the old man died, the foundation could collapse. When the time comes, the whole of Somerland will be destroyed by many forces, with Falconia taking the lead.
Maybe Somerland will be the next Chaos Land. This was because Chaos Land used to be an empire called the East River Empire. It had become fragmented and destroyed due to Falconia, becoming what is now known as Chaos Land.
Meanwhile, the remaining royal family of the East River Empire became the largest mercenary group currently in the world, the Black Dragon Mercenaries. Although their bloodline could be saved, it was painful for them to witness their homeland being attacked and the people of their country being tortured and killed.
No. gabe. This can't happen. David's family, lovers and friends are all here. He's not gonna let this happen.
“Before I die, I need someone to replace me in Somerland and become a stabilizing force to prevent all forces from touching Somerland. You're the person I'm most looking forward to, David.”
David shuddered. He did not expect Old Master Stefani to be so optimistic about him. Granted, he has the confidence to do that, but that's because he knows he has a system that supports him. As long as he had a system, he only needed to spend money when others needed to rely on their talent and hard work.
He only needed enough luxury points to reach the plateau that others would need for years or even ten years to break through.
Furthermore, East League Capitals would spread throughout the world. When that happens, he will be able to spend money faster and faster, so his luxury points will also continue to grow wildly. It didn't take long for him to raise his physical and mental strength to the god level. Even so, he could still continue to grow.
He will also eventually surpass Mason. It's just that he doesn't understand how Mason is so sure he can do this. After all, it shouldn't be his turn.
“Old Master Stefani, you must be kidding me, right? What can I do to get this? Now I am only a God Rank Partial, and I don't know when I can break through to that level. Plus, aren't there two more Guardian God Rank in Somerland? It shouldn't be my turn no matter how I look at it" David said seriously.
“David, you don't have to underestimate yourself. I know about your achievements and you are indeed the most talented person I have ever seen. It is truly a miracle to have such power at your age. You may have been born for this era, but I hope you don't slack off and continue to create miracles. Abraham had reached his peak, so his talent could only support him at that level. Meanwhile, if Dirk is given another ten years, he might have a chance to grow to my stage, but I can't last that long. I can still last for a year for you, but in a year, my life will reach its end. Back then, Somerland had to rely on you.” Mason opened his eyes and looked at David.
David could feel hope and supplication in Mason's eyes. He did not want to disappoint the old man who had dedicated his life to Somerland and made him leave this world with regret.
“Old Master Stefani, don't worry. Somerland is my homeland, and my relatives and friends are here. Therefore, I will continue to work hard and I will not allow anyone to occupy an inch of land here.” replied David also seriously.
“Alright, ha ha ha ha ha. Somerland finally has a successor. From now on, you are the eleventh member of the Somerland Parliament. You have the right to decide the direction of Somerland. I will prepare everything, and for the procedure of joining Parliament, I think for the time being there is no need. After all, you are too young now, and it is the trees that are higher in the forest that make their shoots blow in the wind. So, it is better to keep a low profile so that you will not be targeted.”
“I understand, Old Master Stefani.” replied David respectfully.
This is exactly what he wanted. Right now, he felt it was not yet time to expose himself. David was still not strong enough to fight the Guardians of the God Rank.
However, he will soon be able to reach it. He already had over 6000 luxury points. It would not be long before he could step into the God Rank and become the guard of Somerland.
“David, this world is not as simple as you think, and those two kingdoms are not the most powerful forces. There are several large families with deep roots that have been hidden in the world for hundreds of years. They hide in secret to control dozens of small and medium-sized countries. Even some of the larger countries are their dolls.”
‘What?’ David looked at Mason in shock.
He received too much information today. He didn't know how to react to some of those things. A family that controls dozens of small countries and even some medium-sized countries? Even the great nations are their puppets?
‘How can it happen?’
This information was completely beyond his comprehension. He always believed that the state was the greatest power and that a family could only be under the state. However, now Old Master Stefani has told him that there is one family that can control dozens of countries.
Furthermore, from what Old Master Stefani had said, there was more than one such family.
