Chapter 1120: Lowest Of All

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

“Step onto the testing machine.”

All of the mages who had come from the Five Kingdom Continents couldn’t help but gather together as they followed behind the lead envoy, they had finally arrived at the grading zone on the island, but many of them couldn’t help feeling nervous.

As they walked, the other three envoys then began to explain that each of them would be given a piece of land to govern, along with something called a Lord Token, and they would be responsible for taking care of the humans under their territory.

There were other concerns as well, such as having to worry about attacks from abyss lords, though they were told not to be overly concerned about that, since it was mostly the lords stationed at the edges of the wasteland regions who had to fight off such invasion almost all the time.

They were also told that in this realm, the Blood Moon War had become far more advanced, it happened on the last day of every month, but unlike the large-scale battles between countless armies back on the continent, this one had become a clash between lords.

They would all be taken into a special space filled with incredible resources and materials, and then the lords would have to fight one another for them, even the land before them looked far more prosperous, and the mana in the air was much richer than in the Five Kingdom Continents, which would make it far easier for a mage to achieve breakthroughs in a place like this.

So, bringing those resources back and planting them in their territories would only help their lands prosper further, and once they were able to attract an alchemist willing to settle in their territory and use their gathered resources, things like mental pills and cultivation pills could then be produced far more easily for their own use.

The envoys explained all of this, doing their best to make their new recruits understand just how much more advanced the alchemists of the Origin World were compared to where they came from.

They simply refused to mention that it wasn’t nearly as easy as they made it sound, getting an experienced alchemist, forger, or any profession-path mage to serve a lord, especially a newly appointed lord with nothing exceptional to offer, was incredibly difficult.

But the envoys didn’t care, they were fully expecting the kids to learn that the hard way, then they finally mentioned something that caused the group that had been sticking together to separate from each other, leaving people to remain only with those from the same academy as them.

It was the fact that, even though it wasn’t encouraged, human lords could also fight against one another in order to expand their small kingdoms.

And then by taking the lord token of another lord either abyss or human race, then they would use their own token to absorb it, there were then two choices they could make for the defeated lord.

They could force the defeated lord to submit to them, and grant them a military title by using what was left of the now-downgraded token to appoint them, or they could kill the lord outright , or send him free to roam about homeless while they appoint anyone under them with that same downgraded token.

The moment they heard that they could attack one another, many of them immediately began moving away from each other, the envoys laughed as they watched the paranoid expressions on the faces of the mages.

However, once they had had their fun, they stopped talking when it was finally time to present the students they had brought along, the head envoy walked toward one of the high tables where mages who seemed even stronger than him were seated, then placed a list before the man sitting in the middle.

At that table, there were three men seated there, just like in every other section of the place, mages from different worlds were being tested.

After going through the paper, they called out for Takeda, since he was first on the list, they asked him to step forward into the testing machine, which looked to Alec like something built with advanced technological knowledge.

That felt strange to him, since he had believed this world would be all about medieval things and that he would never see something like that here.

But now, he has.

Takeda stepped forward with a confident look on his face, and after a few minutes of scanning, he was given an S rank grading, which immediately caused an uproar among the head envoys.

Immediately, envoys from different human king regions began trying to offer him the chance to join their territories. However, they were far too late, as he had already come to an agreement with the lead envoy.

So all he did was collect his reward and move to the side, waiting for Shin to be tested as well, since they would be heading to the same region.

Dragov was next, and immediately those from the Northern Kingdom turned to see what grade he would receive.

They believed that since Takeda had gotten an S, then maybe Dragov would come close. However, he was given an A in his assessment, though this came as a shock to those mages from the Northern Kingdom, however; the envoys present felt that their minds would soon be blown even further.

Just the first two gradings had already produced incredibly high results, though many of the mages might have thought that S and A grades were not impossible to attain, but the envoys present were simply waiting for them to step forward and realize just how little they mattered in the grand scheme of things.

Many envoys from different locations could not help turning toward the head envoy that had gone to the five kingdoms continent with jealousy in their eyes.

Dragov also walked over to where Takeda stood, waiting for Damien, Carmilla and Connor to finish their gradings so they could all be teleported together, at that moment, Alec finally realized that the head envoy might have already made some kind of agreement with some of them.

Meanwhile, he had not received any such invitation, though he did not really mind since he didn’t like the man he just didn’t expect he was that under graded in the man’s eyes.

Then they called for the next person, and Alec walked up to the machine, then the scanning began. Immediately, Alec felt as though the machine was trying to peer deep into his mana pool, attempting to uncover even his deepest secrets.

It was something he found highly uncomfortable with, he literally has never liked people peering into his secrets.

[> System detected a foreign presence attempting to probe the host, all powers with any slight connection to the system have been concealed by the incognito function, including golems and all related entities. <]

The moment Alec saw that, he began to have a bad feeling rise in his chest, he could feel his connection to his golems and many of his abilities being hidden, even from the machine itself.

Though he could still forcefully summon them, he believed that would go against whatever the system intended for him, and sure enough, that uneasy feeling didn’t last long before the result appeared before him.
