16 Objective

'Cavalry System?'

Hearing the system introduction when mentioning horses and the cavalry system reward, Makai was excited at the thought of all the mounts he had collected in the game and the thought that he could bring them into this world. For a Cavalry, their horses are indispensable and can even determine the winner in a direct confrontation. Clearly, an ordinary horse cannot be compared to a war horse, especially when it comes to horses of different types of bloodlines like the ones in the game World of Knights.

Just the thought that he could bring them into this world made him eager to check out his cavalry system, but before he took any action, Wagner accosted him, "Young Sir, it will be extremely dangerous to enter the Mystic Valley during winter. Even if I accompany you, as a Gold Knight, it will still be very dangerous. Isn't it better to wait for the winter to pass as your father decided?"

Seeing the worried expression on Wagner's face, Makai nodded, "Uncle Wagner, I understand your concerns. However, you have seen how mysterious my skill is. I am confident that, Mythic Valley will soon be our safe territory, and forbidden only for our enemies."

Makai looked very confident and Wagner didn't doubt after thinking of how mysterious the system is and his expression relaxed a little as he changed the subject.

"Young Lord, I'm your Sworn Knight now and it's weird to keep calling me uncle."

"Uncle Wagner, don't worry about it. You served alongside my father in the War of Kings and you're a veteran in our family. I'm the one who would feel awkward calling you just... Forget it."

"You should start preparations to escort our young comrades and their families. Although there are no bandits in our duchy on the surface, it is still not guaranteed that there are some very well hidden..."

"Also, when passing through the Straits of the Wandering Mountains, there may be attacks from magical beasts, especially the Hungry Wolves who are attracted to crowds..."

After talking to Wagner about the trip arrangements, Makai looked at Lionel and the six other young men who will be leaving with him, "You should go home..."

"If your parents are still working at this time, you can use my name so those in charge allow them to leave their duties. You must have everything ready for us to leave tomorrow at the first ray of sunlight."

Lionel and the others nodded, "Yes, Young Lord."

Seeing Makai leaving the pavilion, Wagner and all 1493 youths who remained had fascinated expressions. Everything that happened until Makai arrived and left was like a dream for them. If the outside world were to learn what had happened here inside this pavilion today, it would surely be news as shocking as Haoran's fall to the forces of darkness 200 years ago after they resisted for 100 years.

The fact that Wagner overcame his bottleneck and reached the realm of a Gold Knight could be seen as normal. However, what is the concept of 1,500 young men advancing into the Bronze Knight realm at the same time? Not only that, but there were also a lot of them who were in their 10s and 15s. When did Lazerorth see such a scene?

If an Apprentice Knight who advances to the Bronze Knight realm at age 16 is a genius among geniuses, there is no need to mention what category of talent a Bronze Knight at age 10 belongs.

Even the Sons of Fate of the royal family have never had such an ability to provide such a huge amount of talent bonus and vital energy bonus. They also believe that their Young Lord is the only one in the world.

All these youths were full of expectations for the future and eager to accompany their Young Lord Makai, but they knew that the distance from Crimson Fort to Mystic Valley is very long. Even for a single-family in a chariot traveling alone, it would take a long time to get to Mythic Valley, not to mention a large number of carriages with around 1,500 families.

It's only natural for Makai to take the lead by traveling first, and with that in mind, they've controlled their anxiety.

...

When Makai left the pavilion, he was surprised to find one of his father's 10 generals on guard and came to think that something had happened.

However, when he learned that the reason had been him, and the big scene that Aura King had caused, he couldn't help but frown at how naive he had been to continue accepting Sworn Knights. If anyone had walked in, they could have seen the even more shocking scene of 1,500 young men being promoted to the Bronze Knight's realm at the same time. He had neglected this point and forgot to ask someone to guard the gates.

Luckily, his father had taken care of it and no one bothered him, especially when he learned that his older brother had come to 'wish him' congratulations. He felt grateful and thanked Ashley who was still nonchalant as she escorted him to her father's study hall. At least he learned this as a lesson and will be more careful with his actions in the future.

As for Ashley's indifference, Makai didn't mind that, as he knew she had always been aloof.

After Makai arrived at his father's study hall in the castle, naturally, by causing such a big scene and the fact that he had become a Child of Fate, his father had a lot to talk about with him and they both discussed many subjects.

The Duke wanted to increase the number of Elite Knights to accompany Makai on his journey, but he eventually gave up when he saw Makai's insistence in refusing, and when he learned that his son had recruited all 1,500 young men and even Instructor Wagner, he was wordless and could only think, 'Couldn't you have at least left the instructor? Why don't you also take the opportunity to carry the pavilion on your back?'

It should be known that the Apprentice Knights' military barracks are the base for the Knights who will serve the family. Each year, at least one or two graduate upon being promoted to Bronze Knight, so a new and rigorous recruitment process is opened to fill the vacancy of those who graduate or who are laid off after turning 21 years of age.

Never before has there been a case where the recruitment has exceeded 10 youths since the military barracks were established at Crimson Fort. However, in the next few days, he will be recruiting 1,500 young people to fill that hole. This will surely be happy news for the young people of the duchy who wish to serve the family. In addition, he will still have to look for a new reliable instructor, after all, not just anyone can become a military instructor, as they will take care of the young people who can become the future pillar of the family.

Even if the duke was a Legendary Knight now and had achieved a realm that could be placed above countless Knights, he could not claim to be invincible, after all, even an ant army can bring down an elephant. The overall strength of the army is the foundation of a strong family, the royal family themselves are where they are today primarily due to the strength their Elite Cavalry can wield under the command of a Child of Fate.

After thinking that Makai would find no danger waiting for the winter to pass and that Instructor Wagner now promoted to Gold Knight is his Sworn Knight, the duke relaxed and didn't press the matter further. So they both spent the time arguing about other matters.

Of course, Makai didn't mention that he didn't intend to wait for the winter to pass, otherwise, no matter what he said, the duke wouldn't allow such a decision, even more so now that he's a Child of Fate.

...

'So much happened today...'

Makai couldn't help but sigh heavily.

After a long conversation with his father, the butler Jonathan had already heated the water and, after taking a shower, Makai was now lying on his bed while gazing absently at the crimson rock ceiling smeared with black in his room.

It was only during his bath, in what appeared to be a large metal cauldron surrounded by a small square of stone with some wood still burning to heat the cauldron, that Makai relaxed as he inhaled the steam from the boiling roses. Only now did he realize how comfortable his solar-powered shower was and the comfort of his small apartment like his computer, his games, his moments when he used fake accounts to be an internet troll, the moments he spent watching hentai...

Makai still couldn't believe he had been reincarnated. As a librarian at a prestigious university, despite being considered a good citizen who fulfills his duties, he was always dissatisfied with his monotonous lifestyle where he had to wake up and work every day, but now that he is in this world, he realized how amazing the Earth is, especially when he had to use the toilets that are still latrines, his stomach turned.

This world is far behind when compared to the Earth at the beginning of the 23rd century in which it lived and it is not very easy to adapt to this sudden change.

Although this is just his first day of reincarnation, in his psyche, there was the thought that he could no longer regain his previous lifestyle.

'Unless...'

A sudden thought crossed his mind when the idea that he could develop in his territory the technologies that provide the comfort he wants.

'Why not?'

It looked like he had gained an objective in his life since coming into this world early this morning. Although he was a librarian and not a scientist, he had read many books, and after his predecessor's last soul fragment left for the soul world, his memory seemed to have become eidetic, meaning he had photographic memories and could recover in his subconscious all that he had read on Earth. His biggest regret was not having read enough.

After planning what he would do in the next few days, Makai relaxed and now decided to carefully observe the new functions of the system.

'If the system has all the technologies that are in the game, then I don't even have to worry about developing it...'

If he didn't forget anything, he has the Castle Lord System, the System Store, and the Cavalry System that have yet to be explored.

Furthermore, he has a total of 11,000 system points and needs to discover their true value by seeing their items in the store.
