Chapter 527: Chapter 432, Magic Scroll Inscription Room_1
Upon seeing two recruitment notifications appear at the same time, Fang Hao was stunned.
He reassured himself of the disappearing recruitment scroll, certain he didn’t use it incorrectly.
He had only used one scroll, so why were there two names?
The array outside the door shone brighter and brighter.
The contours of the hero became increasingly clear.
When the light faded, a man and a horse stood before Fang Hao.
Upon seeing this, Fang Hao understood why there were two names—one of them must have been the horse.
The recruitment scroll was quite powerful.
Be it Nelson, Demitrija or the hero recruited today.
Upon successful recruitment, the hero would appear with their equipment. So, for a gallant white horse to appear wasn’t surprising.
The horse was dressed in black armor, and a crossbow was hung on the left-hand side of its back.
The hero, Aseti, was dressed in black armor with golden patterns, holding the horse’s reins in his left hand, and leaning on a long, slender longsword with his right.
The tip of the sword touched the ground, and the height of the sword was almost 1.7 meters.
Based on the height of the sword, it was even taller than some of the maids in the territory.
Aseti wore a helmet, quickly looking around.
Upon seeing that a large number of skeleton undead were cleaning behind him, he twisted the longsword in his right hand, immediately entering a state of readiness for battle.
Fang Hao was startled and quickly said, “Aseti, these are our territory’s soldiers.”
Aseti, whose sword already emitted a glow, heard Fang Hao’s shout and barely managed to stop his impending action.
Through the gap in his helmet, his gaze met Fang Hao standing in front of the manor.
“Did you awaken me?” a neutral voice asked from within the armor.
Fang Hao temporarily was unable to discern Aseti’s gender.
“Yes, Aseti, welcome to our team. Our territory is a bit special. I’ll explain it to you in detail later. There’s no danger here,” whispered Fang Hao.
Aseti reassured himself about the skeleton behind him.
After confirming that the undead only worked and did not attack him, he finally dropped his guard.
He took off his helmet, revealing short blonde hair, and with one knee on the ground, he said, “Your majesty, please accept my apologies for my previous rudeness. Aseti, the Glory of the Kingdom, pays respects to the King.”
The moment he took off his helmet, Fang Hao confirmed Aseti’s female identity.
But she wasn’t young anymore. The contours of her face and the wrinkles around her eyes suggested that Aseti was no longer young.
Excluding the effects of rank power and special bloodline, she appeared to be between 40 and 45 years old.
But Aseti was close to 1.8 meters tall and had an heroic aura.
“Hmmm, welcome to the team, Aseti, please get up, let’s talk inside,” Fang Hao said with a smile.
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Aseti replied, standing up.
She hung her sword on the side of the horse and walked into the hall with Fang Hao.
As Fang Hao sat down on the White Bone Throne, Aseti took a seat just below him.
A maid hurried down from the second floor and offered the two a cup of fruit wine each, showing her alertness.
And then, she rushed back upstairs.
She and other maids hid around the corner of the staircase, secretly looking down.
Fang Hao had instructed them to rest upstairs, but in light of tonight’s events, anyone would have had difficulty falling asleep.
So, despite it being late at night, the maids were all quite alert.
As soon as Aseti came in, she began looking around the hall.
The décor here was a bit unusual.
The chandelier seemed orcish, the wall lights seemed like the Blood Clan’s, the throne Fang Hao was sitting on was made of bone, but her chair seemed like it belonged to the Blood Clan as well.
This mix of styles was uncommon for a king’s residence.
“Aseti, our kingdom is somewhat unique; I need to explain a few things to you,” Fang Hao said directly.
“You may speak, Your Majesty,” Aseti replied with a nod.
“Our kingdom hasn’t been established for very long. The territory is home to humans, orcs, the undead, trolls, lizardmen, the Blood Clan, and dwarves. Currently, all races live together peacefully, drawing on their own strengths to contribute to the kingdom,” Fang Hao explained, looking at Aseti.
As the number of races Fang Hao mentioned increased, Aseti’s brows furrowed deeper.
She was surprised to see the undead and orc maids here.
She did not expect the young king before her to rule so many races.
“This…this is impossible!” Aseti instinctively doubted, finding it hard to believe.
How could so many races agree to human rule?
How could the living and the undead live together?
This was simply not possible.
“The reality is such. I guarantee them a stable life, they abide by my rules. So when you encounter other races within the territory later, refrain from acting rashly to avoid hurting our own people,” explained Fang Hao, seemingly accustomed to such looks of surprise.
Aseti remained silent for quite a while before accepting this fact.
Fang Hao had no reason to lie to her. Moreover, she had indeed seen the undead and orcs with her own eyes. The presence of trolls and the Blood Clan probably wasn’t made up either.
“Alright, I understand, Your Majesty.”
Aseti seemed to have accepted it.
She had just joined the territory, so there was no need to fret about these things for now.
She would do her job first and gradually learn what the kingdom she swore allegiance to really looked like.
