The Rise Of True Magic

Roland decided it was about time he had payed a personal visit to the different projects, but the system had other Plans.

[The Quests Section has been unlocked]

Roland immediately halted misstep and check stared at the screen displaying the Quests Assigned by the system

[Quest 1: Assimilate Longsong Stronghold]

[Reward: 1000 Merit points, Territorial Expansion, Talented Merchant Summoning Scroll]

[Decription: The host has been infected with an unknown virus, undetectable by the system, therefore increasing the rate of expansion could finally lead to the discovery of a cure. The first should begin with the Assimilation of the neutral/hostile force.]

[Failure: A thousand Lashes, Attention of the church and King Wimbledon, Longsong counterattack]

[Quest 2: Recruit Talents]

[Reward: 500 Merit points]

[Decription: Fernandus has reported the presence of several witches near the Impassable Mountain Ranges. The host can use any methods to recruit them. The quest will be considered complete the moment they join the host.]

[Failure: Ten thousand lashes, hostile witches, Assassination, Attention of Tilly Wimbledon]

[Quest 3: Upgrade to City]

[Reward: 1000 Merit points, Territorial Expansion, Territory Summoning Scroll]

[Decription: If the territorial expansion and upgrade was left to the host the system fear it will take an eternity therefore the system has taken the matter into its own hands to lead the host towards success.]

[Failure: Lightening Tribulation]

Reading the reward of merit points left Roland in bliss but the moment he read the description he was furious, clearly the system didn't waste the slightest of opportunity to take a crack at him.

However, what had Roland cursing the system was the punishment of lashes. Did the system take him for a lowly thief, murderer, rapist or what to deliver such a punishment?

"What the hell is this? I can understand the counterattack and gaining the attention of others but why! Oh why! Do I have to get punished by such a large number of lashes?" Roland exploded.

[The system is impartial when delivering rewards and punishments, therefore, the host has nothing to be worried about.]

"Bullshit!!" Roland raged.

[If the host is unsatisfied then he can always unbind the system]

The systems prompt reply had Roland clenching his fists as his face turned Red from the anger.

Taking a deep breath Roland decided it was pointless to argue with the system therefore he asked the last question on his mind. "Lightening Tribulation? What kind of punishment is that?"

[The host will be eventually acquainted with it within 15 minutes of failing the Quest. Therefore the host needs to be patient.]

"Fine then I just won't accept the Quests." Roland goaded.

[The hosts speak as if the he has a choice in the matter. The three Quests issued are compulsory and must be completed within the time frame.]

"Wait! Time frame, What time frame." Roland inquired in panic.

[If the host has bothered to individually open the quest options, he would have seen the countdown.]

Roland immediately opened all three quests one by one and there it was the damn timer showing the count down in bright red letters. In sequence the quest needs to be completed within two days, three days and a week for the last one.

The system clearly had no intention of letting him of the hook therefore he had no choice put to complete the quest as fast as possible. Regardless of the consequences the matter of hiding magic from the towns former residences has lasted long enough. The time has come for them to completely integrate the whole town into a single unit.

Roland immediately called an Emergency meeting. After careful deliberation they had decided to carry out the plans after completing the first two missions assigned by his majesty.

Garen had been ordered to immediately lead the 20 level 1 magicians to longsong stronghold and bring it under his rule. Due to the harsh weather it was difficult to cross the distance between the border town and longsong stronghold without magic. Thus, the town would not be expecting a attack therefore they will not be vigilant. However, the best choice of action would be to use take advantage of their carelessness to take the nobles hostage and demand their surrender, but Garen has given full command of the mission therefore it is up to his discretion.

The second quest would have been a problem but Arnadus requested that he be allowed to handle that mission due his apprentices' ties with that group. Roland had no problem as long as he completes the Assigned mission within the designated time frame.

The third Quest was the one that caused him a headache according to barov they could not meet the population demand with their current ability, however, the situation could be solved if they completely migrate the citizens of longsong stronghold to border town. But they had neither the resources to feed, nor the necessary houses to support such a large migration within the time frame of a week.

The first two quest could be easily resolved but the last quest has very difficult to achieve within the necessary time frame however, Roland had no choice therefore he immediately ordered the immigration of the Longsong citizens to border town.

Allen has been ordered to immediately increase the agricultural productivity by any means necessary while Barov had to build temporary houses until the residential homes are completed. The construction workers have to work around the clock to meet the territories needs. The People of longsong will be immediately put to work the moment they arrive in order to speedup construction without wasting man power.

Fernandus had been given the task of uniting the entire town into a single unit while maintaining security. Will the arrival of the longsong citizens order will be harder to maintain due to the rats among them.

Receiving their orders everyone went their separate ways as the meeting was adjourned. Roland had originally planned to build a stable foundation for himself before expanding his territory, but the system has forced his hands therefore he had to deal with the consequences of his actions.

It is about time he stabilized the economy as well, Roland massaged his head as the among of work continued to pill up.
