Chapter 502: Augustus’ Changes
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Everyone, don’t fight. Fighting hurts our unity! Go back and have a good talk with your masters. Tell them that I’ve accepted their invitations and that I’ll be there.”
Watson said that to all the people who had invited him. A ray of light appeared on his body and instantly split into many clones as he spoke.
Those clones were all created by him. They had the same appearance and thoughts as he did, and even their strength was similar to his.
After obtaining the human chess piece, he began to study the usage of the human chess piece. Could he use other humans to create himself?
The answer was yes. He had experimented many times to test his idea and finally succeeded. He could create up to ten clones with his strength, and each clone could share their thoughts with him. The only drawback was that maintaining so many bodies required a lot of energy. That ability saved him a lot of energy.
“Go.”
Watson waved his hand, and the clones nodded at him. Each of them walked to a different group. Some went to the Dragon Knights. Sebastian, the G.o.d-armed Dragon, let them stay on his body before he flew into the sky.
The rest of the clones went to the church’s people and the other families’ servants and followed them to meet various important figures.
Watson yawned and walked toward the Royal Academy. He wanted to make a trip to the Royal Academy. His clones could do some things, and there were some things that he had to do personally.
Along the way, Watson saw many residents in the capital. The residents bowed as they greeted him. The residents were respectful to him because he was about to become the King, and he possessed great strength. He had protected the royal city during the battle between the G.o.ds, preventing the city from being damaged by the G.o.ds.
As a hero who had protected the kingdom, he deserved to be treated with respect.
Watson returned their greetings. Very quickly, he arrived at the Royal Academy. Before he could enter the cla.s.sroom, he was surrounded by a group of students.
Those students were wandering around the various corners of the school. As soon as they saw him, they immediately rushed up, as if they were waiting for him.
“It’s Watson! He’s here!”
“Finally, he’s here! I’ve been waiting a long time!”
After rus.h.i.+ng in front of Watson, those students all looked at him with admiration. “Watson, I heard that you’re going to be the next king. Is it true?”
“The priests also said that we’d get some abilities from you if we believe in you. They said that our strength would improve significantly too. One of my older brothers is a priest. After believing in you, he broke through to the platinum tier. Even as a warrior-elemental genius, I do not possess such strength. I have come here to ask if I can change my belief to you.”
Some people wanted to curry favor with Watson, while others wanted to benefit from him. It was true that they were elites from the Royal Academy, but they also wanted to obtain great strength without cultivating. If they believed in Watson, their power would increase by at least two tiers. That would allow them to save decades of hard work. How could it not drive them crazy?
“Everyone, be quiet. Cla.s.s is about to start. What are you guys doing outside and not in cla.s.s right now?”
Just as everyone was talking, a person who looked like a teacher suddenly walked out of the academy. He came in front of Watson with a dignified expression. After looking around, he suddenly revealed a gentle smile. “Watson, I am one of the teachers from the warrior department’s potion-making cla.s.s. Currently, the warrior department has a potion-making cla.s.s. Everyone is waiting for you. Let’s hurry up, lest we make others wait anxiously.”
That was the first time they had to wait for anyone to start the cla.s.s. The academy had many students. If they did not attend the cla.s.s, they would be expelled. The academy did not lack geniuses, so they would expel anyone who did not appreciate their talent.
One could say that Watson had created a precedent for the Royal Academy.
After Watson nodded, a teacher took him away. The other students looked regretful. One of them was dissatisfied. “A potion-making cla.s.s?
She is not the same as us. I saw the cross she was wearing. There is a crown on it. That is a new accessory issued by the church after the conversion. It represents the unification of the royal authority and divine authority on Watson. That teacher must have gone to the church. ”
Even teachers are believers in Watson. So what if we believe in Watson and trap him? Seriously. ”
That young man’s words quickly caused a sensation among the students, and many of them nodded in agreement.
“Relying on faith to obtain strength? Such strength is nothing more than charity. Those who are complacent about charity are nothing more than pitiful worms! Get out of my way, you bunch of pitiful worms!”
The pride and despotic voices interrupted the crowd. Everyone turned around and saw Augustus, who had long red hair, walking past the academy gate with his hands in his pockets.
Unlike before, Augustus did not wear much that day. His bare arms did not have a trace of metallic l.u.s.ter. He was of human flesh.
“It’s Augustus. I didn’t expect him to come to school again.” A student had a puzzled look on her face as she retreated. Suddenly, she noticed Augustus’s arms. The doubt on her face turned into shock. “Didn’t Augustus transform into a puppet before? How did his arm become flesh and blood again? Or is that metal that looks like flesh? Has the Campbell family’s modification technology become so powerful?”
“I heard that that is not puppet modification technology, but real flesh and blood. There was a rumor that Augustus died while protecting His Majesty because of the battle between the G.o.ds. He became like that because Watson had cast a resurrection spell on him.
“Resurrection spell? Does such a spell really exist? ”
“Can’t exist? If someone can create such a spell, it must be Watson. He’s collaborating with the Abedor family to develop a potion that can allow people to advance to platinum-tier angels directly. It can also grant people eternal life. They are sold for 1,000 gold coins each, but they are already sold out from the very beginning. The n.o.blemen can buy several of them, and those smaller n.o.blemen would have to pool their money to buy one! It’s a pity that my family is not very rich. Otherwise, I would have bought one at any cost.”

“If I can develop a potion that can grant eternal life, then the resurrection spell would not seem to be a big deal! Compared to that potion, it’s more convenient to believe in Watson, even though the upgrade is not as big as that potion.”
“By the way, Augustus’ life was even given by Watson. What right does he have to be so proud? ”
While the students were whispering among themselves, Augustus snorted coldly and walked past the group of people toward the direction of the warrior department.
If he had been in the past and heard those people talking about him like that, he would have used a fire-elemental spell to turn those people into ashes. However, after being resurrected by Watson, his strength had remained in the diamond tier. An unknown life force appeared in his body, making him less irritable than before.
Even if he did not want to admit it, his character had changed a lot after the life-or-death battle.. Watson had given him that.
