Hikaru shook his head, not wanting to concern himself with that matter. Anyway, it was a matter that he could only consider when he reached King rank.
Right now, he just wanted to build the best territory possible. As for other things, he would wait until he reached the King level, before he could tackle them.
Hikaru began to explain the appearance of the Players and his surroundings to Narita. This is something Narita had to deal with anyway, so it was fine to tell him.
Narita felt as if he should return to his tomb.
During the time he was in the tomb, what the hell happened to this world?
Mist invaded this world for more than 10,000 years. A group of strangers calling themselves Player entered this world through something known as the System.
Players from other worlds were looking for a way to sneak into this world. Although Narita didn't know their intentions yet, he was sure their intentions were not good.
Narita shook his head, he felt that his time had indeed become part of the river of history. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't stand the test of time.
No, to be more precise, he couldn't resist the existences from the outer universe.
Even in this world, Saraya and Fellea were already two god-like existences, and he couldn't look down on them.
Narita took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled as if he was letting go of the thoughts that had popped into his head.
Narita now seemed to have accepted the fact that his era was gone, and that now was a new age. Perhaps… the young man in front of him would be the leader of the new era.
As soon as this thought appeared, Narita also felt extremely embarrassed. He always said that Hikaru was a weak person, but now what Hikaru was doing was braver than what he did.
Hikaru dared to go against the thoughts and prejudices that existed since the ancient times of this world.
What about Narita? He dared not do that.
Maybe… that's why Saraya and Fellea chose him as the one to usher in a new era.
Narita took a deep breath and said, "I got it!"
Hikaru nodded, he knew Narita's words had many meanings. Of course, what Narita meant was how he understood Hikaru's intentions and plans for the future.
Narita had also come to understand that this place was not like other places, this era was not like the era he used to live in.
"So… what are you going to do, lord?"
Hearing Narita's question, Hikaru nodded with a smile: "I will issue a quest, players who want to accept the quest will have to register an adventurer ID card."
"Thanks to that, I can track the progress of the quest completion as well as distribute the rewards to them."
"Specifically, we need more time to think and consider. Anyway, thanks to Runes, maybe these things won't be too difficult to do."
"Of course, in the process of searching for materials, besides the adventurers, there are also Dwarves and Mika with them."
"Dwarfs can be in charge of finding and inspecting the materials. Shala would be in charge of validating and guiding the search. Adventurers… I mean the Players will be in charge of keeping them safe."
"This is my first time using the Players, so I will let the Blood-Elfs watch over and protect them."
Narita listened and silently memorized everything. With his level, it was extremely simple to memorize a lot of information.
Hikaru continued, "As for the ID card, I'll let Tsuraguki and Anno take care of it."
"Wait! Did they learn about Runes?" Narita suddenly asked.
Because Narita had heard that the ID card would be designed into a Rune. However, this was the first time Hikaru and the people in this territory had come into contact with Runes.
In Narita's opinion, no matter how smart Selvih, Anno or Tsuraguki were, they would need at least 2 to 3 months to learn the basic Runes.
Now that Hikaru said that he would leave the design of the Runes to Tsuraguki and Anno, did they already learn the basic Runes?
"That's right. Tsuraguki has mastered Intermediate Runes, while Anno and Selvih have mastered Advanced Runes…"
"What?! Are you kidding me?" Narita startled, his voice filled with fear and surprise: "I just gave you the scroll in the morning, now you say they have mastered the runes?"
Hikaru sighed, feeling extremely tired and said, "That's right. You don't need to care much about that, you just need to know that they're well versed in Runes."
Yes, thanks to the Void Space, Hikaru shortened the time for Anno and Selvih to learn about Runes.
However, thanks to that, he felt he was really useless. Tsuraguki took 2 months to master intermediate runes. While Anno and Selvih were even more terrifying, as in just 3 months they mastered Advanced Runes.
It took Darnag, Shala and Mika more than 6 months to master Intermediate Runes.
Only he took more than 6 months but he still only completed the basic Rune. Was he the dumbest person here?
Hikaru glanced at Narita, he suddenly frowned and asked, "Narita, how long did it take you to complete the basic Rune?"
"Hm… about 3 months."
Hearing this, Hikaru was once again certain that his thinking was correct. He really was the dumbest guy here.
"You still haven't answered me." Narita suddenly shouted, "How can they finish the Rune in such a short time? They knew about Runes before, didn't they?"
That's right, Narita didn't believe that they could finish learning about Runes so quickly. It must be known that Narita took 3 months to learn the basic Runes.
Even in those 3 months, he did not eat or sleep, as he studied continuously to complete the basic Rune.
Hikaru sighed and shook his head: "No, I have a spell that can help people shorten their learning time. A day in that magic is only 1 second in reality."
"What?! Is there such magic in this world?" Startled Narita, he had spent more than 10,000 years living and studying magic, but this was the first time he had heard of such a strange magic.
"Yes, but there are also limitations. I also can't use that magic indefinitely, the cost is too great."
Of course, Hikaru didn't reveal the secret of the Void Space. Anyway, he didn't know if Narita was his ally.
What would happen in the future, he did not know.
Even though Fellea was here, and he wasn't afraid of Narita's betrayal, he didn't want to reveal too much of his own information to Narita.
Hearing that, Narita knew that Hikaru also had no intention of telling what the magic was, he also knew that everyone had their own secret so he didn't ask further.
It just felt like Hikaru was becoming more mysterious now. Narita shook his head, he felt that his thoughts about Hikaru were constantly changing everyday.
From negative to unbelievable, then to mystical and awe-inspiring.
"Wait!" Narita suddenly remembered something and asked: "You... you already have a core Rune?"
Hikaru smiled and nodded, "That's right."
"Do you guarantee the quality and energy of the Core Rune will be enough for everyone to use?"
"Enough to be used by 1 million people for 100,000 years."
Narita took a deep breath, 1 million people was a huge number, more than the number of people living in the Sanctuary when he was alive.
According to his memory, if we only counted the number of people in the Sanctuary and the surrounding areas, it was only about 800,000 people. That number could be larger, but not by as much as 1 million.
The energy was enough to power 1 million people for 100,000 years, which is a huge amount of energy.
Of course, the material to create a Core Rune that was sturdy enough to hold that huge amount of energy inside couldn't be an ordinary material.
Narita suspected that the material Hikaru used to make the Core Rune is more terrifying than the 5-Colored Elemental Stones.
Of course, Narita won't ask much, he just needed to know that he now had a Core Rune.
"So… who is controlling the Core Rune?"
Hearing Narita's question, Hikaru simply replied, "it is someone I trust the most, of course she also possesses much higher Rune abilities than you."
Narita felt a bit annoyed, although he was not the best rune master in the world, at this point, he could say that he was the best rune master alive to this day.
Now, Hikaru said that there was someone better at Runes than him, this caused his pride to be trampled once again.
Wait! Hikaru said "she"... Ah! Another girl. Maybe it's Hikaru's trump card, maybe that's why he won't let me see that girl.
Huh! Men are indeed a species that only thinks with the head below.
The more Narita looked at Hikaru, the more annoyed he became. His gaze made Hikaru also feel that Narita was very upset.
Hikaru was confused, did he do something wrong?
"You… there are quite a few women around you, do you know how amazing they are?"
Hikaru sighed and said, "I know, it's all my fault. It's because I'm so perfect that they surround me like this."
Narita: "..."
"It's my first time meeting a narcissist like you. If it had been in ancient times, I would have taken off all of your clothes and hung you in front of the city gates for people to spit on your dirty body."
Hikaru didn't get angry when he heard that, he just shrugged and smiled: "Fortunately, I don't live in ancient times."
"Huh! The other problems, how are you going to solve them?"
"Is there any other problem?"
Narita took out the scroll, looked at it for a while, and said, "The matter of the royal soldiers. A kingdom or territory requires an army."
"There are two types of armies: the ordinary army and the royal army."
"The royal army is for nobles or those who possess the ability to use magic. The ordinary army is an army for the common people or the mixed blood."
"Heh?! You recruited mixed-bloods into the army?"
"No…" Narita shook his head: "When there is war, we will gather a group of mixed-bloods who are capable of fighting and let them become the vanguard."
"If the opponent has a trap or uses magic with a large range, then that group of mixed-bloods can become a wall of flesh to block the damage from such magic."
