CHAPTER 106 ARTIFACT SPIRIT

The old man snorts, he then mocks them "Such arrogance from a person that has not even started shedding their mortal shells!"

The expression of the two boys becomes furious, just as they are about to attack the old man, Shadow waves his hand and stops them.

"Bring it." He tells Shelia this, she nods and with her order, a couple of individuals enter the room, they bring with them a burly fellow, his figure can pass as an adult but his face is too much of a child.

The expression of the old man changes, he glares at Shadow but deep within him, he cannot help but feel despair.

"You have been acting quite tough, according to Shelia, artifact spirits are unique beings of this realm, they are not true spirits but a combination of both consciousness and heavenly law."

"They are practically immortal as long as the artifact that they inhabit will not get destroyed."

The child is afraid but when he sees Shadow smiling at him gently, he becomes less afraid but the pressure from the other three causes him to tremble in fear.

"This child has your true body, doesn't he?" Shadow asks in a teasing manner, the old man is in despair, he cannot believe that his true body was easily found.

"I told you, in this kingdom, I, alone, am the true ruler, your existence cannot be hidden from me but do not worry, submit to me and I can give you a greater future." He entices the old man.

The latter sighs, he wants to refuse but he knows that he will also harm his successor, he can only bind his soul with a heavenly oath.

After the oath ceremony, Shadow claps his hand with a big smile on his face, he then says "You are a cultivator in the past, you definitely have a lot of knowledge, that is why, I will let you create a sect inside our territory to nurture more warriors for this kingdom."

The old man wants to snort but since he had already swore an oath of loyalty, he does not want to piss off his new lord, he can only accept.

"If you are free, write some information that you know and I will send them into the library, our kingdom truly needs a lot of information regarding how things operate in this realm." He quickly says.

"I am going to build a sect in this kingdom? Will I be the head of the sect or just a teacher?" The old man asks in a rather casual manner, he already knows the answer for this.

"You are going to be the head of the sect, I will not interfere with how you operate, the prerequisites for this is that you will not threaten the kingdom." Shadow shocks everyone except the child.

What he does not tell them is that, his stead is capable of sensing any threat, if the old man dares to make any moves against the kingdom, he will destroy his true body.

"Child, Why don't you leave that ax here? Do not worry, the owner of the ax also believes that this is the best course of action." Hearing this, the burly child looks at the old man.

The old man can only sigh in helplessness, giving such a fake smile, full of bitterness, he nods at the burly child, without hesitation, the latter gives the ax to Shadow.

As the two leave after the discussion, Lou Yan cannot help but ask "Are you truly going to let that thing leave? I do not want to be that guy but are you sure that we can trust that old thing?"

Shadow chuckles, he turns to Shelia and says "Build the sect at a location that is quite close to this city, I can monitor the sect without any trouble if they are within the territory of this kingdom."

He raises the ax "Also, both you and Ban might not know this but an artifact spirit cannot be that far away from their real body."

Shelia nods her head "As long as this ax is in the possession of any of us, we can easily deal with that old man."

Shadow stares at the ax and gives it to Shelia, he is confident that she can deal with it, her strength is multiplied inside the kingdom.

"Please give me a constant report regarding the ongoing battle against the Centaurs, I have to wait for Vixen to return here in order to advance my plans regarding the situation on Cringe City."

Shelia smiles and says "I think that the situation on the lower realm is no longer a concern now that you have returned, actually, our progress is only so slow because we apply a rather mild and kind approach."

Shadow turns at her and asks "Since when did you become so ruthless?"

She sighs and says "The situation in the lower realm is less than desirable, if we can destroy the power controlling the territory, we will be able to help more people, I am confident that if it is our kingdom, their lives will definitely improve."

The two smiles when they hear this, they also believe the same, they have recruited a lot of indigenous groups that are either banished from their homes or victims of the Centaurs.

All of them said that living inside the Eligan Kingdom is ten times or even greater than their former home.

For this reason, many of these people that were rescued joined the military and are now trying to obtain as many contribution points as they can in order to increase their status.

The following days are rather dull for Shadow, he is forced to attend parades almost every day, this pacifies the heart of the people and helps everyone worship him, increasing his power of faith.

But also because of this, he had discovered multiple hidden dangers that were hiding inside their kingdom, there were spies and assassins that were all trying to enter the inner circle of the kingdom to increase their influence and the power behind him over this kingdom.
