Chapter 2513
Lord Protector Novel
âOf course not,â Megahead replied. âThere's no need to tap into the alliance agreement to get my Decanus position back. I just wanted to inform everyone that the person who brought me down is a newcomer.â
Upon hearing that, the eight Decani once again exchanged glances. âSo? What's the big deal? The new guy toppled you because he's strong. That's hardly surprising.â
âWhat if I told you the new guy has only been on Theos Island for two days?â
As expected, everyone stared at Megahead in disbelief. Huh? What the heck?
âAre you f*cking kidding us, Megahead? How can someone rob you of your position in just two days?
That's unheard of!â
âExactly! The first prerequisite to becoming a Decanus is to collect twenty drops of spiritual water. How can a new guy achieve that in two short days? No one is capable of that!â
âDid he rob you of your position before collecting all twenty drops? If so, he has broken the rule, and you can bring it up to the chieftain. He'll stand up for you.â
âYou're all correct,â Megahead muttered. âBut it's also true that he collected twenty drops of spiritual water in two days. To be more exact, he did it in just a day and a half. Whenever he ventured out, he'd always be able to get at least six drops of water.â
Everyone was even more stunned than when they first heard about Megahead losing his position.
What? How did the newcomer collect twenty drops of spiritual water in less than two days? He's a real gem!
With their hearts still racing, everyone turned their attention to Megahead. âDo you swear by your words, Megahead? Did the new guy really collect twenty drops of spiritual water in a day and a half?â
Megahead nodded. âOf course. I've never been one to lie, and all of you have the right to know about this.â
The eight Decani were so excited at the news that they could no longer sit still.
âOh, this is wonderful! Our collection of spiritual water is far too slow, and there's usually only enough to exchange for resources.â
âThat's right. Without the assistance of spiritual water, I can't make any progress in my cultivation.â
âIf we can speed up with the collection of spiritual water and spare some for our cultivation, my powers will definitely increase by leaps and bounds! By then, I can be a Centurion, Legatus, or even a Camp Master!â
âHaha. The newcomer is a gem! I must have him!â
âThat's not right! We discovered him together, so how can you keep him to yourself? We need spiritual water too.â
âWe can take turns summoning him, can't we? Each Contubernium can use him for either a day or a week.â
âOh, right! That's a brilliant idea!â
Before long, everyone else had agreed to the arrangement.
âAll right, let's cut the crap. We'll head out now and take down the newcomer together!â
Upon hearing that, Megahead quickly stopped them. âHold on! We can't go over now.â
âHuh? Why not?â
âThat guy is a little creepy, and he's not as simple as he seems. Taking him on is anything but a piece of cake,â Megahead hurriedly explained. âI think we should spend a few days preparing ourselves. We can strike once we're sure that everything is in place. Otherwise, our recklessness might alert the new guy and foil our plan of capturing him alive.â
The other Decani fell into deep thought and nodded. âHmm... You do have a point.â
âVery well, then. We'll get ourselves ready before launching the attack.â
âCome on. Let's head back and prepare our troops. We have to take this newcomer down no matter what.â
Meanwhile, life had been fun and peaceful for Zeke, and he enjoyed every moment thoroughly.
Not only had he collected between twenty to thirty drops of spiritual water every day, but he had also smashed various records.
He'd exchange the spiritual water for just enough resources to feed his Contubernium daily and made sure to store the excess.
Minerva, of course, was delighted. Master has finally learned how to be prudent!
