Game Transmigration: Saving the World Again 1000 Years Later (ON-HOLD)

Chapter 41: Tower Guardian

Colt listened to the conversation between Vincent and William as beads of perspiration dripped down his forehead. He kept questioning himself if his choice of staying was right.

Although he didn’t understand much of their conversation, he could understand what William was saying about Vincent becoming the new ruler of the Blackwater Province.

He didn’t just understand it; he was horrified by what he heard.

Could the Blackwater Province’s Duke of Thorn be replaced just like that?

What was even more terrifying was that when the two of them were talking about this topic, they didn’t argue about the possibility. Instead, the discussion about whether they were willing or not and what meaning it had.

“I refuse…”

Vincent finally said. With that said, he raised the magical medium in his hand and assumed a combat pose.

William looked at the lightning on Vincent’s magical medium and assessed it inwardly.

The other party was probably at the level of a random high-level mage from the Mage Guild in the late stages of the game. Of course, he might have some trump cards, but in short, the battle would be over in seconds.

Therefore, he reminded him, “Are you sure you want to do this? You should know that you don’t stand a chance.”

Vincent knew that it was the truth. The other party could have treated him as target practice when he previously used Zero Entropy, giving him countless opportunities to kill him while time was stopped.

However, he retorted with a question, “I’m aware, but will you be kind enough to let me off alive after my rejection?”

“You can leave and take your time to think about it when you get back. There’s no hurry. I have plenty of patience,” William replied casually.

Vincent asked suspiciously, “Then, aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Duke Simon of your intentions?”

William shook his head. “You’ve misunderstood.”

Looking at Vincent’s puzzled expression, he continued, “First of all, what I just said isn’t an attempt, but a fact that’s destined to happen. Secondly, I don’t care if you or anyone else ultimately takes over. You are my choice simply because I think it’s more convenient; it might stabilize the situation faster and reduce the number of innocent casualties. That’s all.”

William paused and continued, “Of course, if there’s any other reason, it might be because your daughter is a kind person. I’ll feel a little bad killing her father.”

“Liliana…”

Vincent hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

“But!”

However, William raised his voice slightly and interrupted Vincent.

“But, my patience will remain until you attack me. I’m not magnanimous enough to let go of someone who tries to kill me. By the same logic, unless I find a better candidate than you, my suggestion that you control Thorn City will last until you stand opposite me.”

When the time comes, I won’t be so merciful.

Vincent understood the meaning in the other party’s eyes.

Therefore, the lightning on the magical medium dimmed. He bowed slightly to William in greeting before slowly turning around and leaving.

“I know there are some things you might find difficult to accept for the time being, but I hope you think through it carefully. Between a country controlled by the three Moon Realm goddesses and a country where humans don’t need gods, which is more in line with your expectations for the future?” William said to his departing back.
