Chapter 16 - Strongest Kingsguard in Existence (2/2)
”Marzia, my palace was built recently, and I have some slaves that I got recently currently staying there, I want to turn them into my subordinates, I need to get armor and clothing made for them, and some basic equipment for a place to work for them,” said Glaze looking towards Marzia
”Also, you can create an administrative division and a logistic division and any other supporting divisions that would help you in your work, I also need a trainer for training them for information gathering work, I don't care about the price I need the best you can find, pick any place you want, hire anyone you deem fit, and get this thing going as fast as possible , don't worry about money , I need the best , just let me know how much you need”
She appeared a little shook at such a demand, ”Uh, getting armors and clothing at Level 15 and basic equipment for 20 people would cost 1 Million Gold, creating an administrative and logistics division and an information gathering expert trainer, that would cost a huge amount of money as talent is rare and the training and equipment for all these people would also be very expensive” said she looking uncertain, not wanting to mess up her first job.
”How much do you need? I have no problem if you hire within your family” said Glaze as held the pouch in his hands.
”100 Million Gold,” she said as she gulped, not knowing what he was gonna say , she had work experience and knew quoting price was the hardest part of her job as most people don't realize how much things cost at a scale and thus she was worried this ruthless hero was gonna flip out.
Princess Charlotte on the side was struggling to control her laughter seeing this scene as Marzia misunderstood all of Glaze's reactions.
As Marzia looked down waiting for an eruption, Glaze threw a pouch towards her, ” Is this enough?” he asked as he looked at her.
She took a look inside and her mouth hung, it was 1 Billion Gold, even she had never seen such wealth before in her life, her hands were shaking as she spoke ” T-This is too much my Lord, I just need 100 Million”
”You can keep this with you, I trust you would make good use of it to help me handle all my tasks” said Glaze as he looked in her eyes with a cold smile , Marzia seeing those eyes felt a chill, of course, no one would betray the Hero's trust seeing the Aquilia family's example.
She gulped and bowed as she said” I'll get to work then, I will let you know when I am done” and walked out of the room.
The 10 Guards remained in the palace, as Glaze walked towards them he released a bit of Destruction God's Intimidation, the guards were scared as they looked at this ruthless hero, as he looked into their eyes he asked ”Do you want to be strong?”
”Yes,” they said instinctively as they were suppressed by him, ”I can give you strength, magic that can destroy all your foes, no one will ever look down on you, you will reach heights you never imagined,” said Glaze as he inched closer
The guards gulped, they knew how terrifying the hero was, they saw it with their own eyes. If they could gain such power they thought with temptation.
Glaze opened his right palm and a magic book appeared on his hand, it was a Master Stage Magic Book - Lava Magic, he opened his left palm and it shined with a red radiance as he channeled Divine Slave magic.
The 10 guards had their heads spinning , they were poor and didn't have much talent or resources , they were stuck at Level 10 even after training for years and still used Apprentice Magic at Novice stage as they could not afford stronger magic or get trained by an expert, and now in front of them was a Master Stage Magic Book , that was actually terrifyingly powerful as well.
To these people who had no hope of improving or getting a better life, this was something that could change their and their family's life and affect their entire future generations. In exchange, they were asked to submit to the Hero, with Slave Magic, and make him their King and thus making them traitors to the current King.
Their lives were at a risk every day anyway and they had not much to lose, seeing this opportunity in front of them was like seeing an exquisite wine when they had never even tasted grapes, this made them irresistible to this temptation as this was their chance to rise above being just another commoner.
One the guards got up and touched Glaze's left palm willing injecting himself with Divine Slave Magic as he took the Master Stage Lava Magic book from his right hand and then kneeled in front of Glaze and said ”I shall serve you in life and death, I shall be your sword and slay all that stand in your path and shield against all that dare harm you, I am honored to be your Kingsguard, my King”
Glaze smiled, this was just what he needed, as soon as one person gave in the rest of them quickly lined up and started injecting themselves with Divine Slave Magic and took the Master Stage Magic Book from his right hand.
All ten of them lined up and kneeled in front of him as the Divine Slave Magic pattern glowed on their ċhėst , ” We shall serve you in life and death , we shall be your sword and slay all that stand in your path and shield against all that dare harm you, we are honored to be your Kingsguard, my King”
