THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE 133 Reason Behind The Respec

Manager asked, " You said that the weapon you forged has to be pure. But how could those constructs determine the purity of the weapon you forged?"

Jimmy said, " They have some kind of magical plate which could calculate the purity of a weapon. The purity will be displayed on the screen in terms of number."

Manager asked, " Number? What number?"

Arjun said, " That screen would determine the purity of your work. Then it will show a number on the screen. That number will be in between 1 to 100. The minimum number it should show is 40. If your weapon's purity level crosses 40, then you could be considered as pa.s.sed the trial. If you failed then you are doomed to die."

Manager nodded his head in agreement. He understood everything.

He then asked, " How many doors both of you have cleared so far?"

Jimmy shook his head and said, " Four. We felt lucky that we were alive. We didn't want to take any more risks. So, we decided to quit."

Manager asked, " What was the trial in the fourth door?"

Jimmy said, " Formations. You will be given a less powerful construct. You need to enhance it's power. Later that construct will be sent to fight against another group of constructs. If that construct wins, then you are considered winner. Or else you are determined loser. My friend here is fortunately a formation master. So we were able to clear it. Or else we would doom to die."

Jimmy continued, " We understood that even if we entered the fifth door, we not only has to face the constructs, but also another trial which is related to supporting occupation. We are only good at forging and formations. If we had to face a trial which is the like of painting, cooking, juice making or any other occupation, then we would die for sure. So we decided to quit."

Manager nodded his head in understanding. He felt whatever Jimmy said is convincing.

But he asked, " All these things doesn't take 10 years to complete. Why would you take 10 years to complete all this?"

Jimmy said, " Because after facing the constructs of the first door, we understood that the second door will be much more tougher than first door. So we were practising martial arts and were trying to improve our senses. We were working on our reflexes too. We are experienced combat masters. So we could imagine how strong our enemies would be. We thought that spending long period of time inside the maze palace and improving ourselves is better than dying in the hands of those constructs unprepared. So we took 10 years to clear all 4 doors."

Manager of the Adventure's a.s.sociation is an experienced person. He was a famous adventurer in his younger days. As an adventurer he knew that most of the adventurers are exited, hot blooded and very proud people. They never listen to anyone other than themselves. So most of the adventurers dies because of these qualities.

All the adventurers takes things hot bloodedly. The manager could imagine that it was same with all the people who entered the maze. That is also one of the reason why they died.

But Jimmy and d.i.c.k were patient with their work. They took things slowly. They brought a huge news from a place which was one of the most mysterious place in the history of the world.

Manager said, " Please wait for a moment. I'll come back in a moment."

Jimmy said with a smile on his face, " No problem. We could wait."

Manager nodded his head and got up from his chair. He came back after 5 minutes. There was something in his hands.

Manager said, " We always values the top cla.s.s adventurers like you two. For the top quality adventurers like you, our a.s.sociation gives much importance."

He then handed over the thing which he brought. Jimmy and d.i.c.k took it and found that it was a card. The card contains their names on it. There was a star that was printed below their names.

Manager said, " They are the members.h.i.+p cards. Please take it. You could see a star symbol on it. That star symbol represents your level as an adventurer. If you reached 1 star, then you will be given 20% extra bonus for all the quest that you clear. You will get 40% bonus if you reached 2 star. Just like that 60% for 3 stars, 80% for 4 star and 100% extra bonus if you reached 5 star. We do this to encourage the adventureers for their contribution. Please take it."

Jimmy smiled and said, " Thank you very much."

Manager said, " It's my pleasure to meet you."

d.i.c.k who was silent all this time asked, " Manager, could you tell us why people are so respectful towards Arjun? Isn't he just a grandson of former city lord of the Weissan City? "

Manager said, " That's what we all thought in the past. But 10 years ago a huge incident took place in the Bloom Kingdom....."

Manager told the story which happened on Kiera's wedding day. He told how Sitaram's true ident.i.ty was revealed as the former emperor of the Star Moon Empire.

Jimmy asked, " But he was just the former emperor's grandson. People could give him the respect of some high n.o.ble. But why would they treat him as if he is really the future emperor?"

Manager smiled and replied, " Actually after that incident, Nege who happens to be the Empress of the Star Moon Empire, was forced to leave the Star Moon Empire. Because it was revealed that she was the member of the a.s.sa.s.sins Organisation. She left the empire without leaving any trace behind. No one knows where she is right now."

Manager continued, " But the citizens of Star Moon Empire's Royal Capital, all big shots from the Royal Capital went to Weissan City and met Lord Sitaram. They requested him to return back and rule the empire once again. But Lord Sitaram declined it. He said that he is happy with the life he is living. Then they asked Lord Gnan to ascend the throne. But Lord Gnan who is Lord Sitaram's son also declined it. Then the citizens of the Royal Capital were trying to convince them to return. After some time Lord Sitaram gave a statement."

Jimmy asked, " What statement?"

Manager replied, " Lord Sitaram said that they don't have any interest in ascending the throne. But they will return if his grandson accepts to ascend the throne. Lord Arjun is Lord Sitaram's grandson. But Lord Arjun left the city to see the outside world. So all those people stayed in the Weissan City. They were waiting for Lord Arjun's return. Today he returned back to the city. That's why people were a respectful towards him. Afterall Lord Arjun is the rightful owner of the throne of the Star Moon Empire. Even though it's been 10 years, those people were very determined not to go without meeting Lord Arjun. They were waiting for his return for 10 years."

Jimmy and d.i.c.k looked at each other. They had no expression on their face at the moment.
