“Of course not,” Megahead replied. “There'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.”
Upon hearing that, the eight Decani once again exchanged glances. “So? What's the big deal? The new guy toppled
you because he's strong. That's hardly surprising.”
“What if I told you the new guy has only been on Theos Island for two days?”
As expected, everyone stared at Megahead in disbelief. Huh? What the heck?
“Are you f*cking kidding us, Megahead? How can someone rob you of your position in just two days? That's unheard
of!”
“Exactly! 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!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Did 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.”
“You're all correct,” Megahead muttered. “But 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.”
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. “Do you swear by your words,
Megahead? Did the new guy really collect twenty drops of spiritual water in a day and a half?”
Megahead nodded. “Of course. I've never been one to lie, and all of you have the right to know about this.”
The eight Decani were so excited at the news that they could no longer sit still.
“Oh, this is wonderful! Our collection of spiritual water is far too slow, and there's usually only enough to exchange
for resources.”
“That's right. Without the assistance of spiritual water, I can't make any progress in my cultivation.”
“If 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!”
“Haha. The newcomer is a gem! I must have him!”
“That's not right! We discovered him together, so how can you keep him to yourself? We need spiritual water too.”
“We can take turns summoning him, can't we? Each Contubernium can use him for either a day or a week.”
“Oh, right! That's a brilliant idea!”
Before long, everyone else had agreed to the arrangement.
“All right, let's cut the crap. We'll head out now and take down the newcomer together!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing that, Megahead quickly stopped them. “Hold on! We can't go over now.”
“Huh? Why not?”
“That guy is a little creepy, and he's not as simple as he seems. Taking him on is anything but a piece of cake,”
Megahead hurriedly explained. “I 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.”
The other Decani fell into deep thought and nodded. “Hmm... You do have a point.”
“Very well, then. We'll get ourselves ready before launching the attack.”
“Come on. Let's head back and prepare our troops. We have to take this newcomer down no matter what.”
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!
