Chapter 278: Dangerous systems
The queens sweet voice dripped with sarcasm. "Ah yes, do not worry my husband is not hiding around the corner. He is too busy with the hoards of horned rabbits. He needs to be ready to send off troops to wherever the worst hoards surface. He received a certain notification that threw him in to a rather strange mood." The queen looked like she was both happy and unhappy at the same time. Her face was almost impossible to properly read.
Pausing for a moment to let it all sink in, Can you explain how you managed to change your title from hero to true here?" This question was exactly what Walker was thinking she would be here about. If the king was occupied with the military the queen would need to be the one that had to deal with it. Naturally for her to be this unhappy about something so important for the kingdom she would have been busy with something important as well.
Walker did not hesitate to spill out the entire story and even their quests that they had completed. With every word he spoke the queens jaw seemed to drop lower. It may have been unbecoming of royalty to act in such a way but since the entire floor had been evacuated just for her there was no fear or reason to act as a perfect noble.
When he had finished telling her of every single detail and even reading some things directly from the system the queen looked much less satisfied than before. "There is so much that you just said that I believed to be impossible. Not only that but you have even said a few things that will change our relations with other kingdoms. Do you know what it means to have a dragon with a dragon champion blood line? Do you know what it means to have an arcane archer?" The queen emphasized these two systems over the others since they were systems that were very important to other kingdoms.
She looked at each and every person present in the room before speaking again. "On top of all that you somehow managed to upgrade a title to a true title. These titles are only ever found as ancient knowledge passed down from hundreds of years ago. That is just how rare they are. They Were thought to be a myth until just a few years ago when someone brought some ancient scrolls from across the sea that spoke of true titles. Then just like that we heard word than another continent across the sea that had such a title holder. However that is of no concern. You are now a true hero." The queen was very serious about this and how much this could affect the kingdom.
Ibis approached the party and gave them a look over. "It is unfortunate that your other two members are not here right now but with everything that happened I can understand why they would not be. You already know that your hero titles had the effect of widening the area of an emergency quest so much so that it even reached the king who sent the military academy students to assist. What do you think your true hero title can do?"
Ibis watched as Walker started to fully understand the weight of these upgraded titles. With this true hero title he may have the chance of sending out quests to an entire kingdom or more. It was a major development for every single ruling power on the continent. The waves this would make would not be stopping at any moment.
"Even more you did not notify us that there was even a possibility that you would all gain these from a quest. How do you think I reacted when I saw that the only party I manage suddenly changed to a completely different system description. A different title description. And even changed to such a drastically different level. Not to mention that you all received an emergency quest that when completed changed my own system interface because it somehow completed another main quest for you." Walker was feeling bad that he had not contacted Clara the second he woke up. It was plain to she had been stressed out about this. However when he wanted to apologize what she said last caught him.
"What do you mean your system interface changed?' He was curious how she was affected by all this too. As far as he knew she was not included in their titles quest and should not have received an upgrade. The system had also not notified him that Clara had received an upgrade either.
"Oh you want to know do you? Well now I have a second set of quests on my selection. They are divided up by the usual tiered quests that I could send to you then also organized by tier and a term of heroic quests. So now with your new level up system I can directly send you quests that would complete that level up requirement of yours. Do you think the system explained this or that it just showed up and I had to sit here confused waiting for you?" This made Walker and Su feel bad all at once. Midnight could feel this in the air as well and lowered her head trying to avoid Clara's looks.
"We are sorry...we got very caught up in trying to understand ourselves." Walker almost whispered the apology but was not greeted with more talking to. Instead Clara stepped back as she looked at the queen who was holding up a hand.
Clara had bowed slightly in apology for getting carried away with something that could wait until later. "You all still have the task the king assigned you. However now that your systems have changed I need to tell you a few things that may prove to be slightly troublesome. First since Midnight it here I will start with the blood line you unlocked." The queen looked at Midnight in the eyes who was now listening intently.
"You have a blood line that is specifically fostered by royal dragons. These are often ancient dragons that have the blood of the first dragon within them. They are the most powerful dragons and rarely come off the mountains. This would be fine but when they decide to battle they often choose to send a champion to battle for them. This champion will be a young royal with slightly more of the royal bloodline than others. They would be supported since birth to be a champion above all other dragons. Now if they fight that means some ancient dragons currently do not have a living champion. That means one ancient may come looking for a champion to fill the position."
This was a very scary possibility for them. Not even the entire army could stand up against and ancient dragon that had been alive for nearly a thousand years. They could be an extremely high leveled opponent with endless battle experience. Midnight was stepping back hearing this. She was definitely excited that she could become one of the most powerful dragons in the world. But hearing that a dragon more powerful than she was now, more powerful than any of them in the kingdom was, could now come looking for her and put her in to fight or flight mode.
"It will be fine, if they come we will try to reason with them first. Worst case we find a way to run." Walker had placed his hand on her back letting her know he was there. Midnight visibly calmed down after that. But was still acting slightly skittish.
"You understand that this alone is enough to cause many of our kingdom's nobles to fall in to panic, hence the abandoned floor and my personal guard being here to use their skills to block the sound from leaving this room." The queen pointed at the guard in the red and white armor who was still standing straight. Walker still couldn't get a read on them at all. "Secondly you have an arcane Marksman system holder now. This is a system that man of the elven kingdom has. However the problem with that is there has never been a moment in history where a human has ever had such a system. The elves are sure to try and take him so that he will not let any of their skills be analyzed by us or an enemy."
"So Gil will be at risk too. Aren't we on good terms with the elves? Can we negotiate with them somehow?' Walker did not want anything to happen to his party. He felt that the ancient dragon actually leaving the mountains was less likely than the elves sending someone to retrieve Gil.
"Oh we can, but we have nothing to use as leverage to stop them from saying that it is a catalyst for war. The only benefit we have is that the demons have them too occupied at the moment. There is also you, your title should be enough to make them hesitate. They are long lived species that have great respect for the way the world works. Systems are something that attract them to their very core, if you are willing to bargain with information they may let you keep your party member if he binds his soul to a promise not to give away the facts of their system. Of course it would bind all of you too since you already know some details I assume?"
