Chapter 410: The Sword Saint Joined The Camp

Outside Watson and Samuel’s room.

Reid leaned against the wall and sighed. “I did not expect Samuel to do such a thing. Fortunately, Watson is here. Otherwise, I really don’t know how things would have turned out. It’s entirely my fault for not caring about that child back then. Otherwise, this might not have happened! What is even more unexpected is that His Majesty had come into contact with Samuel. What is His Majesty thinking? ”

Aside from heartache, Reid felt guilty.

Samuel was a humble and polite child. After Watson arrived, Samuel gradually changed. It was hard to imagine that Samuel had changed so much in such a short period. Someone must have misled him, and the person who misled him could only be His Majesty.

“It seems that after that matter is over, I need to have a good chat with His Majesty.”

“There’s no need to talk with His Majesty, Reid. It’s always difficult for us to understand his thoughts, but this time, I could,” Antonio said.

“Oh? Antonio, you said that you understood His Majesty’s thoughts. Then tell me, what is he thinking about?”

“It has to be something related to Watson.”

“What does that have to do with Watson?” Reid frowned as if he was not very satisfied with Antonio’s answer.

“If that were you, what would your first thought be if you saw a teenager become our disciples and had all kinds of strange abilities?” Antonio’s expression darkened. “Do you still remember the first time the King met Watson, and he prepared a tainted unicorn at the banquet? What if I told you that the unicorn was not tainted and that the unicorn was not released so that Watson could show off his strength to liven things up, but the King had deliberately done that, trying to use that unicorn to kill him?”

“Antonio, are you serious?”

Antonio’s words were too disrespectful, causing Reid to frown.

“When have I ever joked with you? In fact, the King already knew about Watson by then. Previously, at the border, his subordinate had destroyed the Dragonspine Snow Mountain. He must have feared Watson since then! I’m sure you know that the young man’s talent is better than ours. He will definitely become the strongest person in the world in the future. Even the King would be unable to control him. And how does the King usually treat those he can’t control?”

“Antonio, are you saying that the Demoness Church tragedy ten years ago will happen again?”

“It’s very possible. I brought Watson to the royal city so you can take him as your disciple so he can learn sword techniques from you. But that’s not the real reason. I didn’t bring him here to learn, but I’m guessing you already know that.”

Reid thought for a moment and suddenly revealed a shocked expression at Antonio’s question. “Antonio, since you did not bring Watson here to learn, could it be—”

“Did you bring him here to flirt with girls, then?”

As soon as Reid finished his words, Antonio, who had been looking forward to it, was instantly petrified. He looked like he was about to crack. “Reid, how did you come to such a conclusion? What did I say to make you think of that?”

“What else can a child of Watson’s age do besides study and flirt with girls? I thought you brought him here to pick a suitable wife in the royal city. Watson’s talent and his background at the border are disadvantageous to him. He can achieve more benefits if he can marry the daughter of a major noble family in the royal city. That way, His Majesty will not be able to make a move on Watson easily.”

Reid analyzed the situation thoughtfully as he stroked his chin. The more he explored it, the more proud he looked. “As expected, no wonder Watson always has a girl by his side when he strolls outside! If it’s a marriage alliance, I think that Tina is not bad. Even though she is a few years older than Watson, an older girl will take care of others. Furthermore, Tina is strong and good-looking. In short, she is quite suitable for Watson.”

“Father, really, what are you talking about?”

Christina, who had been quietly listening to Reid and Antonio’s conversation, was embarrassed when she heard that.

There was nothing between her and Watson—they were just friends. To be precise, after she received the knowledge from Watson, she became his believer. Under such circumstances, it was really difficult for her to like Watson.

“What’s wrong, Tina? Are you not satisfied with Watson? Watson is already a diamond-tier elite at such a young age. He will definitely become a starlight-tier elite and perhaps a living god that walks the earth in the future. Tina, you can benefit from being with him too. When that time comes, you will be the wife of a God! Furthermore, Watson is still very young right now, but he will definitely be a handsome man in the future. I don’t know how many girls will be charmed by him. If that time comes, it will be too late to make a move.”

“Father, stop talking. I won’t talk to you anymore.”

The more Reid said, the redder Christina’s face became. If she had a good impression of Watson, Christina could not say no. It was just that Watson was too young, and he repeatedly said things like how he was not interested in her. Why should she like him?

Unable to endure Reid’s teasing, Christina stomped her feet, turned around, and ran away while covering her face.

“A few years have passed, but Tina’s personality is still so bashful, just like her mother.”

Watching Christina’s back, Reid’s lips curled up slightly, and his expression was somewhat nostalgic. Then, he turned his head to look at Antonio. “Alright, Tina has left. There is no one nearby who can hear our conversation! Antonio, now you can tell me in detail about your purpose in coming to the royal city and the relationship between Watson and the King.”

“Reid, you said that just now to send Christina away, didn’t you?”

“No, actually, I meant what I said. I really think that Watson and Tina are very suitable for each other! Right now, Watson is only my disciple, but our relationship is still a little distant. If I can become his father-in-law, then he can give me whatever he wants. I think he can probably build a house for me using starlight-tier materials.”

“B*stard Reid, don’t think about such things. If you want to build a house, Watson has to make it for you first! Besides, many people like Watson. Although your daughter is outstanding, Watson might not take a fancy to her.”

After retorting angrily, Antonio’s expression turned serious. He began to tell Reid about what happened at the border, including the situation with the king’s subordinate, who was his former disciple. After the man destroyed the Dragonspine Snow Mountain, they had fought with Watson. The main purpose of Watson’s being at the royal city was to overthrow the king’s rule.

Of course, Antonio did not tell Reid about Watson’s changes to Mount Creation and the border’s strength.

“Antonio, is there anyone else who knows about this besides you? Also, what are your thoughts on the subject? Are you on Watson’s side?”

After listening to Antonio’s words, deep wrinkles appeared on Reid’s face because of the tension. If Antonio had told him about that matter before, he would have thought that Antonio had gone crazy. Did he want to go against the entire kingdom for the sake of a disciple? What else could he be if not crazy?

However, after seeing Watson, Reid felt like it was normal for Antonio to make such a choice. He could not even create something at starlight-tier. What kind of an impact would it have on Watson if he was promoted to starlight-tier?

Watson was the most talented person he had ever seen in his life. He would bring endless possibilities to the future kingdom and even the world. Just the fact that Watson could become starlight-tier meant that he had to take a gamble.

“Of course, I have to stand on my disciple’s side. After all, you have seen what His Majesty has done in the past few years. Ever since Queen Avril died, His Majesty has become a completely different person! Ten years ago, the Demoness Cult massacre had caused rivers of blood to flow. Recently, the Dragonspine Snow Mountain had collapsed. Whether or not it indicates that His Majesty is going to war is still unclear. However, I feel a little uneasy.

“My mission is to protect the kingdom as commanded by the previous monarch, not to protect his descendants! Therefore, I will support whoever can bring benefits to the kingdom. Currently, it seems like Watson is the most suitable candidate.”

Watson was able to fuse the borders, turning them into a behemoth like Mount Creation, turning the borders from the poorest region of the kingdom into the wealthiest area in one go. If the entire kingdom was handed over to Watson, what kind of miracle could happen?

It was probably not a problem for them to merge into a ten-thousand-year-old immortal kingdom.

“As for the problem that you’re worried about, Reid, did I tell anyone else about that? Yes, I did tell someone.”

“You’re not saying it’s me, right? ”

“Of course not.”

“Antonio, are you crazy? If this matter is leaked, with Watson’s current strength and ability to contend with His Majesty, plus our strengths, it would be enough for His Majesty to kill us.” Reid’s expression immediately changed.

“The other person who knows about this is the border count, Sylvan.”

“Oh, it’s him. Then it’s fine.”

Everyone knew that the border count did not have a good relationship with the King. Since Watson had gotten close to Sylvan, it was not impossible for him to overthrow the kingdom’s ruler.

“Antonio, are you telling me so that I can join Watson’s camp? Even though the status of the Sword Saint family is quite high, it is only high on the threat of invasion. We don’t have any real power. My joining won’t be able to motivate other noblemen! Furthermore, the Sword Saint family has always been neutral. We are not suited to join anyone’s camp.”

“Reid, don’t tell me that it is useless. I will ask you again—will you join us? If you’re not joining, then you can’t be Watson’s teacher from now onward. Also, you have to return all the things that Watson had given you, including the starlight-tier Thread of Destiny.”

Antonio glanced at Reid and sneered.

“Who said I would remain neutral? Me? I’m sorry, Antonio. You might have heard that wrong. I’m joining you.”

When it came to the topic of the Thread of Destiny, Reid immediately changed his words resolutely.

It was fine to go against the king, but it was not enough to make him hand over a starlight-tier weapon. That might be the only time in his life that he had touched a starlight-tier item. As for agreeing to Antonio’s request, other than not wanting to hand over a starlight-tier weapon, Reed had another consideration—the King had used Samuel to target Watson.

That time it was Samuel, and the next time it might be Christina. To prevent such a thing from happening, he could only make up his mind to make the king abdicate.

“As for how to make Watson overthrow the King’s rule, that is not an easy matter. We have to secretly rope in some ministers and empty a part of the army. It will take at least five years to act.”

After making up his mind, Reid and Antonio began to discuss in detail how to help Watson. The best way to make King Landhar III abdicate was to rope in all the ministers and generals in the court. When the time came, the King would become an empty shell. It was impossible not to abdicate, but it would be very difficult to do so since many of the ministers in the kingdom were the king’s trusted aides. In addition, the King had spies all over the country. It was basically impossible not to leave any traces. If they revealed any flaws, they would be the first to lose their heads.

While the two of them were distressed, the door to Samuel’s room suddenly opened. Watson walked out slowly, followed by Samuel. He had a strange expression on his face, one mixed with excitement and confusion.

“Master Antonio, Master Reid, I have solved Samuel’s problem. From now on, Samuel will not target me. Please take back the punishment you gave him previously.”

“Master, what happened before was my fault. I sincerely apologize to you for troubling you and everyone else.”

As soon as Watson’s voice fell, Samuel immediately walked toward Reid and knelt on one knee respectfully, apologizing in a low voice.

“Since Watson won’t pursue this, then I have nothing more to say. But you have to remember that that will only happen once. If something like that happens again, I will cripple all of your cultivation and expel you from the sect.”

“Don’t worry, Master. I will remember this. Something like this will not happen again! If you want to ask why—” Samuel, who was kneeling on the ground, opened his arms and revealed a fanatical and devout look at Watson. “Because Junior Brother Watson has already bestowed me with great power and countless knowledge. That knowledge is comparable to the accumulation of hundreds of years of experience in the kingdom. That power far surpasses my understanding. Junior Brother Watson is like the sun to me, illuminating the haze in my heart. Ah, praise the gods, praise Junior Brother Watson.”

What was going on?

Antonio and Reid looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes. How did Samuel become like that in such a short time? The contrast was too great. Samuel had planned to kill Watson just a few minutes ago.

“Watson, you didn’t fuse Samuel with magic, did you?” Antonio frowned. He knew that Watson could fuse his enemies and make them listen to him. It was one thing to fuse Samuel. After all, he had done that kind of thing, but the people in the courtyard were innocent.

“No, Master Antonio, Junior Brother Watson didn’t do anything to me. He only gave me knowledge and power. My respect for him came from the bottom of my heart.”

Samuel quickly waved his hand to stop Antonio’s speculation.

“What kind of power could make you like that?” Reid asked curiously.

“Junior Brother Watson, can I show them the power you gave me?”

“Of course.”

Sensing Samuel’s inquisitive look, Watson nodded. Samuel immediately turned around and extended his right hand to Reid. The rules in his hand twisted and twined, and a divine kingdom formed by a huge sword instantly appeared. The sword aura shot up to the sky.

“It’s the Kingdom of the Sword! How did you learn that?”

Reid was shocked. He looked up and down at the huge sword-shaped kingdom in Samuel’s hand in disbelief. After repeated confirmation, he realized that it was the Kingdom of the Sword. Even though Samuel only had platinum-tier strength, the Kingdom of the Sword was less than 1% of the true divine kingdom’s strength. It could still crush ordinary diamond-tier elites.

“The divine Kingdom of the Sword is one of the abilities Junior Brother Watson gave me. Apart from that, I also learned about another divine kingdom.” Samuel opened his other palm, and dense black toxic threads appeared. Those threads wriggled to form another highly toxic kingdom. Jagged fangs could be vaguely seen on the kingdom’s walls.

Samuel, who had released two divine kingdoms, had a complicated expression on his face. There was no longer any backlash when he released the highly toxic divine kingdom. After becoming Watson’s follower, he had obtained a power that was several times stronger than what the king had bestowed it on him. However, it was difficult for him to be happy because that power was only a part of Watson. No matter how strong he became, he would never be a match for Watson.

He would be Watson’s subordinate for the rest of his life. He would only become stronger if Watson grew stronger. Just because of that, he would never be able to leave Watson again.

“Watson, how did you do that?” Reid was dumbfounded.

In a short period, his disciple had gone from an ordinary platinum-tier elite to a genius who had mastered two types of divine kingdoms. Could Watson have other magical abilities other than fusing with magic?

“It’s very simple. I just need Samuel to believe in me like he believes in a god. After establishing a connection with me, I’ll be able to impart my power to him.”

“Is it possible to treat yourself as a god?” Reid muttered to himself in shock.

He was at the peak of the diamond tier and firmly believed that he would be able to enter the starlight tier one day. He had thought that his goal was already quite far-reaching, but he did not expect that he would be nothing compared to Watson. The young man had just entered the diamond tier and had already begun to treat himself as a god. If he knew that Watson had started doing that when he was in the platinum-tier, he would definitely be even more surprised.

“Of course, gods are only slightly stronger people. Since they can obtain the humans’ faith, then I can naturally do the same. If Master Reid doesn’t believe me, I can teach you the method. You can find some time to try it,” Watson said matter-of-factly.

In the past, giving one’s own ability to others was a miracle that only the gods could do. It was also a way for the gods to show their uniqueness. Watson’s words were blasphemous. Fortunately, no one there was such a person.

“There’s no need to wait. Let’s do it now! Watson, teach me that method right now.”

Reid was wondering how he could help Watson to overthrow the king’s rule. After seeing Watson and Samuel’s appearance, he suddenly had an idea. If Watson’s method was effective, then as long as he distributed his faith to others, he could build an invincible Sword Saint Army. No matter what he faced, there was no need to be afraid.
