Lord of the Oasis

It was the light that was formed by pairs of eyes.

Kant looked over. On the wall on the right, there was an ancient warrior carved in the rock layer. The two eyes that were originally inlaid with gemstones had a faint golden light, emitting a faint light that illuminated the path.

From the entrance of the cave, it extended all the way to the deepest part of the ancient passage. Perhaps it was even possible to reach the underground city of the karst cave.

Or even further, the river that Kant had explored in his sense!

“What a strange experience.”

Kant muttered to himself.

He could clearly recall the scene where he was flying through the ancient passage along with the golden light and data flow.

He could also recall the underground city of the karst cave. The golden light struggled around the temple twice, and finally rushed out of another ancient passage, until it broke through the blocked mountain rocks and rushed to the sunny outside world.

It was a river. In the distance, there were flat plains and fertile fields.

There were also Sarrandian Horsemen.

When Kant thought of this, he instantly frowned. “Something is wrong!”

This was very wrong. How could he sense his soldiers in a strange place, and there were still ten Sarrandan Horseman? After all, in this world, other than the Sarrandians in “Drondheim” Castle, and the Sarrandian Horsmen that garrisoned at the central posthouse, there was no troop class from the Continent of Caradia in other places!

However, Kant was slightly stunned. A thought instantly appeared in his mind. This was the spy that he had placed earlier. Although Kant did not have many expectations on him, it could be considered as someone he had arranged.

“Borg, the young heir of the bankrupt merchant family in the East County!”

Kant instantly recalled.

His eyes widened as he looked at the ancient passage to the south. His heart was beating faster, but his thoughts were becoming clearer. “If I can see the Sarrandian Horsemen in other places, it must be them!”

That’s right, it was Borg, the young man from the East County.

Borg, who had luckily escaped from the patrol route of the desert bandits at the central posthouse and was captured near the Oasis Lookout, was praised by Kant. Instead of dying, he had obtained a sum of investment!

Kant gave him 5,000 great silver coins.

He also had 10 Sarrandian Horsemen to protect him!

They were also meant to monitor him.

He did not expect that due to his busy schedule, Kant had no time to care about the spy he had set up.

Now that he had accidentally discovered the spy, they actually appeared in a place that should not have appeared. This really surprised Kant. At the same time, he was puzzled as to why the Sarrandian Horsemeen would appear there.

“They should be in the East County.”

Kant was deep in thought.

However, he suddenly raised his head. “Could it be… could it be…”, a conclusion appeared in Kant’s mind, causing his breathing to become even more rapid. Finally, he highlighted the most famous geographical term in the dukedom of Leo: “The Resniston River!”

It was the Resniston River!

The important artery of the Dukedom of Leo, the long river that ran from east to west.

Sails were everywhere. Countless merchant ships and transport ships brought goods from other kingdoms. It carried away the Dukedom of Leo’s grain, crafts, and all kinds of furs and goods. The river also nourished the fertile soil on both sides of the river, giving birth to fertile land and lush farmland.

It could be said that it was precisely because of the existence of this river that the Dukedom of Leo became more prosperous!

“That’s right.”

Kant had already confirmed his own conclusion.

It was the Resniston River. At that time, Borg, who had taken away Kant’s 5,000 great silver coins as investments, was the young heir of the bankrupt family of the East County. It was very normal for him to appear near the Resniston River that flowed through the East County!

Perhaps the golden light had broken through the collapsed mountain rock barrier and was located at the mouth of the Resniston River.

This allowed Kant to sense his 10 Sarrandian Horsemen.

One had to know that the ancient passage from the temple ruins went from east to west. After reaching the underground city of the karst cave, the ancient passage turned from south to north at a right angle of 90 degrees.

If the direction was correct, it was indeed the river!

And the final destination of this ancient passage was the mouth of the Resninston River!

“Very good.”

Kant took a deep breath and smiled.

It was perfect.

Originally, the only way to conquer the Dukedom of Leo was through the Stone Pass. Although Kant had already controlled it, this pass was located at the East County. The barren area was still controlled and sealed by the other noble families.

Kant had opened the door, and the path was still under the control of others. In reality, it was not free.

Now, this unexpected news was really perfect.

If this ancient passage could really lead to the East County territory and the river, then Kant would obtain a new route. Not only the Dukedom of Leo, but he would able to trade with the Silver Platter Kingdom and other kingdoms. After all, this river was an extremely important trading river that flowed through several human kingdoms!

As long as Kant had goods, soldiers, and power, he would be able to build a new estuary force on the river. Even if he built a new town, he would be able to obtain the hegemony he deserved!

Moreover, Kant also had two buildings, [ Village ] and [ Water bandit lair ] .

A village could randomly produce a village.

The water bandit lair was even more useful. It could directly allow Kant to produce the most useful water army in the early and middle stages!

“This is a new opportunity!”

Kant instantly came back to his senses.

The smile at the corner of his mouth could not be hidden. He turned his head to look at the coffin that had disappeared beside him. He took a deep breath and secretly rejoiced, “I really did not come here in vain!”

Not only did I not come in vain, I also gained a lot!

Not to mention the discovery of the new route.

Even the reward of honor, reputation, and denar from the system was extremely valuable.

100 honor points, 10,000 reputation points, and 100,000 denars!

This was a bountiful reward that had never been seen before. Just these 100 reputation points alone were enough for Kant to draw 110 times from the system mall. Even if there were trash items, the items obtained could be considered quite profitable for Kant!

As for the reputation points that could increase the speed of construction, recruitment, and training, as well as the crucial denars, they were considered as icing on the cake. They were not as attractive as these 100 reputation points.

Honor was the most popular reward!

All of this was already in his bag!

And at this moment, Kant’s body began to throb.

It was not a sense of danger. Instead, it was a power that was about to engulf his entire body. It was spreading out from the depths of his soul. Before Kant could react, he felt like he was instantly engulfed by this power.

The Sword of King by his waist was emitting golden rays of light. The might of the king of glory was spreading out.

“What strong positive energy!”

The mages on the side spoke in astonishment.

A breeze with a faint heat wave appeared in the void, brushing past their faces like a breeze.

Everyone was suddenly startled awake.

They immediately knelt on the ground.

Including the Sarleon Lion Knights, the Rhodok civilians, as well as the Rhodok Sergeant, Crossbowmen, and Ravenstern Rangers and Wardens across the river, they all knelt on the ground with extreme respect.

Everyone seemed to be facing the most majestic king, not even daring to raise their heads.

[ Ding… Extraordinary loading… ]

[ You have received: King’s Power (leader), Divine Power (light and darkness)]

[ Remark: Please check the details yourself. ]

A dialog box popped up on Kant’s retina.

It was the real reward of this special quest, the so-called extraordinary that had evolved into extraordinary power!

[ King’s Power: A power that can only be used by a natural king. It is the orthodox symbol of leading an entire country.1) King’s Spirit: Any negative effects will be reduced by 50%. 2) King’s Aura: Anyone who sees you will feel fear. 3) King’s Power: Increases physical attributes by 200%. ]

[ Divine Power: a power of justice that can only be used by a natural king. It is the supreme incarnation of all holy justice.1) Holy Light: Can release Holy Light to heal injuries. 2) Divine Domain: Any injuries within the domain can be healed faster. 3) Divine Incarnation: As a divine being, your attacks will have additional holy damage. ]

Two kinds of extraordinary powers.

Kant took a deep breath, his expression extremely solemn.

After sweeping through the two kinds of extraordinary powers, although the introduction was simple, the effect of the explanation was extremely powerful!

Whether it was the King’s Power that could directly go into battle or the Divine Power that could protect itself after dealing with the aftermath, they were both extremely terrifying extraordinary powers. They were practically tailor-made for Kant!

It could be used in advancing and fight on the battlefield.

It could be used while retreating to protect oneself.

Combining the two extraordinary powers of battle and healing, Kant’s own strength soared even more!

This had already surpassed the power that could be obtained with his peak status of Body of Knight. If Kant wanted to, he could explode out the extraordinary power within and directly defeat any enemy.

With the help of the system, it was as if he had immersed himself in these two extraordinary powers for decades.

He could completely use them with ease!

He opened his eyes.

A faint golden light appeared in his eyes.

Kant looked at the people kneeling on the ground around him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He slowly raised his hand and said, “All of you, stand up.”

“Thank you for your kindness!”

Everyone responded respectfully before slowly standing up.

However, from their expressions, their respect for Kant deepened, as if they were fanatical worship!

Kant shook his head and was still not used to this. He arranged for the mages and civilians, “First, study these sun disks. It doesn’t matter even if we remove them. It seems that the positive energy here has been partially replenished.”

He raised his head and looked at the top of his head. A bright light had already appeared on the rock layer above him.

It was not simply refracted by the two sun disks.

It should be that when the golden light rushed out, it was like the faint golden light emitted by the eyes of the stone statue of warriors in the ancient passage. It activated some kind of ancient mechanism and was mysteriously replenished. Finally, it was able to carry out the lighting work.

Even though it was still very dark, it was more than just a little bit brighter than before.

“Yes!”

Everyone responded and started to get busy.
