The old king continued to speak.
"The Ice Crystal Kingdom has existed for nearly nine hundred years, and I have lived for over nine hundred years."
"Nine hundred years... that’s equivalent to the lifespan of twenty ordinary people..."
"I watched the Ice Crystal Kingdom move from disorder to order, and watched as commoners went from being displaced and insecure to having the right to survive; my heart is gratified."
"I know that nobles’ oppression of commoners still exists."
"But compared to those tis when people ate each other, it’s really much better. I also do not know how to completely eradicate these chronic issues."
"Lord Cao Xing, you co from another world. What is the situation like in your world?"
The old king asked curiously.
Cao Xing pondered for a mont, then replied: "In our world there is no distinction between commoners and nobles, nor individuals with enormous personal combat power."
"Although class still exists, people are more likely to cross classes through their own effort and talent."
"Everyone has the equal opportunity for education, and will not be buried or trampled because of humble beginnings."
"The barriers between classes are not rigid, instead there are many avenues for advancent, keeping society dynamic."
The old king listened, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
"Equal education, breaking down class barriers?"
"That is indeed a good thod, but it’s very difficult to implent..."
"After all, in this world, might makes right, it’s impossible to give fifth and sixth-tier experts the sa treatnt as commoners, nor can they abandon their might. That would be like a tiger without its fangs."
The old king, having governed a nation for many years, easily pinpointed the greatest differences between the two worlds.
At this mont, the old king’s eyes brightened.
"Oh? Perhaps there’s another way to achieve the equal society you ntioned."
A mont later, he shook his head, denying the idea.
"I shouldn’t be able to see that ti."
"After I die, it’s likely the Ice Crystal Kingdom will cease to exist."
Cao Xing asked: "Is it that serious?"
The king nodded slightly, "As you see, in our world, might makes right."
"And I am the only Legend of the Ice Crystal Kingdom."
"A nation without a Legendary Level expert cannot hold back other countries; to them, it’s just a piece of juicy at."
Cao Xing asked: "Has His Majesty the King ever thought of training a successor?"
The old king chuckled lightly: "Of course I have."
"But... breaking through to Legendary is too difficult."
"After so many years, there has been hardly any in the Royal Family reaching Heroic Level, let alone Legendary."
"Gal, whom you t last ti, that kid has decent talent. I originally planned to cultivate him as the next successor."
"But there isn’t enough ti..."
Cao Xing also understood the reason for the old king’s words about not enough ti.
At this mont, the king continued: "So, I have long been prepared."
"After I die, I will send Gal to the Youlan Kingdom, taking the Kingdom Holy Sword and handing it to the Youlan King."
"Then we’ll see if there is hope for restoration."
"Of course... provided we all survive the Bloody Army’s charge."
He spoke as if it were an ordinary affair.
On the eagle’s back, everyone fell into silence.
At this ti, Cao Xing switched the topic.
"By the way, Your Majesty the King."
"This ti, I killed many mbers of the Bright Church and seem to have gained quite a few Honor Points again."
"Can I perhaps redeem so rewards?"
He holds a total of 150,000 Honor Points!
Though the Bright Church has mostly been eradicated, these Honor Points shouldn’t be wasted.
Every gain counts.
The old king was slightly taken aback, glanced at him, and noticed the Honor Points on Cao Xing.
Then he smiled and shook his head: "I am indeed old and foolish, planning to wipe out the Bright Church but forgot to cancel this bounty."
"You’ve gotten a bargain..."
Cao Xing could only laugh awkwardly upon hearing this.
Of course, he’s not worried the old king will deny it.
After all, the Ice Crystal Kingdom is vast; they wouldn’t skim off even these 150,000 Honor Points.
The old king said: "Though you can redeem rewards with these Honor Points, I don’t have any new Legendary Equipnt for you."
Cao Xing replied: "It’s no big deal, I can trade for other items."
"For example, those Neros Cannons, give ten to eight of them."
The old king glanced at Cao Xing again.
"I almost forgot, you also have your own territory; these cannons are excellent warfare tools when in sufficient quantity."
"We also relied on Neros Cannons to defeat quite a few enemies on the border battlefield."
Here, the old king changed the subject.
"However, if you wish to possess more Neros Cannons, re redemption won’t get you many."
"I suggest you directly redeem our cannon blueprints, and produce them in your territory when you return. Are you willing?"
Cao Xing’s eyes instantly lit up, and he replied without hesitation: "Of course I am!"
Ultimately, the blueprint is much more important than the finished cannons!
Upon hearing this, the old king nodded slightly: "Since this is the case, the cannon blueprint will cost 100,000 Honor Points; with the remaining 50,000, what do you want to trade for?"
Cao Xing was delighted, he initially thought that with 150,000 Honor Points, he could at most redeem one blueprint, but he ended up with 50,000 to spare.
