I Really Don’t Want to Be the Ruler of the Abyss! - Chapter 20

Ever since he read the ‘Intermediate Magic Collection’ last night, Rollin had learned how to meditate.

This was the first time he had learned about magic in more than a year. It turned out that the first thing one needed to do when learning magic was to meditate!

That night, with the support of the system, Rollin entered deep meditation.

Because the sin points and virtue points added together had reached 450 points, Rollin directly received the second tier title, ‘Shadow of Light and Darkness’.

It seemed to be just a title, but this title gave him a huge boost!

Shadow of Light and Darkness increased the amount of magic stored, and the speed of meditation increased by five times.

After reading the introduction in the system, Rollin could not help but exclaim, “If I continue like this, won’t I be able to surpass the amount of meditation of a Grand Mage in a year’s time!?”

“And this is under the condition of the title of the second rank!”

Thus, Rollin began to hesitate while obtaining virtue and sin points and meditating.

. 

After a long period of mental struggle, Rollin slapped his thigh and thought of a wonderful idea.

“Meditating at night does not affect sleep, so meditating at night and forging equipment during the day will do!”

But what Rollin didn’t know was that even a Grand Mage wouldn’t be able to meditate for more than eight hours.

After all, meditation required a high degree of concentration, and Rollin could enter this state as long as he sat on the bed.

If any of the Grand Mages knew that he had this ability…

This Grand Mage would definitely think of a way to peel off Rollin and see what his body’s structure was like!

After leaving his small house, he bought a sumptuous breakfast from the breakfast shop nearby and ate it while walking.

Thinking back to his days in the slums, he only ate once a day. Rollin instantly felt that the meat products in his hands were too extravagant!

After returning to the workshop, Rollin quickly started his work for the day. Not long after, Dupont came to the outside of the workshop to check out the situation inside.

Rollin was working harder than he had imagined. He already had the strength of a famous craftsman, but he was still repeating it every day.

“This child has an extraordinary will. Just like what Ward said, Rollin is born to do great things.”

Dupont could only feel pity for the future world of blacksmiths. He shook his head as he walked.

In this world, Master Craftsmen were not the most supreme existences.

There were also Quasi-Divine Craftsmen, Earth Divine Craftsmen, and Sky Divine Craftsmen who were above this level. There were no more than three Sky Divine Craftsmen in this world!

Because his strength had greatly increased, Rollin used the morning to finish all the work in his hands.

Then, he began to sit not far from the furnace and read.

Joshua’s High-Level Swordsmanship was one of the most advanced sword techniques in this continent.

It was divided into three stages. They were the initial stage, the integration of attack and defense, and the sanction of the high-level Holy Knight.

According to the literal meaning, as long as he practiced this sword technique to the high-level, Rollin would be able to have the strength of a high-level Holy Knight!

After watching the initial stage, Rollin followed behind and began to train.

In this spacious workshop, from the time he had lunch, Rollin had forgotten about his hunger and only completed five cycles when the sun had set.

These sword skills were quickly recorded in his head. With the support of magic waves, Rollin was already able to use this set of sword skills with familiarity.

Before the final move ended, the ordinary iron sword in Rollin’s hand could no longer support his strength and directly broke from his hand.

“F*ck! That was close.” The broken blade directly bounced off the wall and onto his arm, but the blade did not pierce through Rollin’s arm. It only left a white mark on his arm.

“This! When did my arm become so tough?”

As Rollin continuously brandished the sledgehammer, coupled with the blessing of the Ruler of the Abyss and his title, Rollin’s body was now even tougher than ordinary steel.

“Forget it, forget it. Bring that legendary longsword to training tomorrow!”

As he said that, he extinguished the fire in the furnace and left the workshop.

The Third Elder of the Elven race, who was hiding in the distance and observing Rollin’s every move, saw the entire process of training in the workshop. He could not help but be shocked by Rollin!

“This kid is amazing. In one afternoon, he has practiced the Joshua’s beginner-level moves five times!”

“If this goes on, it won’t be long before he can directly go to Joshua to be certified as a Holy Knight!”

This was because Joshua’s High-Level Swordsmanship required a very high level of overall quality. For ordinary people, not to mention practicing it five times, even learning and pondering it would take countless years.

This was what surprised the Third Elder of the Elven clan.

He had seen too many martial arts prodigies in his lifetime. Rollin was not a prodigy at all. He was simply a monster.

If he did not know Rollin, he would have long regarded Rollin as the Ruler of the Abyss!

Even though he thought so, the Third Elder was still a sensible person. When he reported the situation, he would record less of it.

It was precisely because of the Third Elder’s kindness that Rollin was labeled as the Ruler of the Abyss by the Elven Empress.

After leaving the forging workshop, Rollin immediately went to his favorite small restaurant because the people here were really too ridiculous.

Every day, he could hear some incredible news from these people. They were like know-it-alls.

After sitting in, Rollin ordered a barbecue set meal and then sat quietly in the corner.

Soon, the two men in front of him began to talk.

“Have you heard why Frances recently launched a war against our Empire?”

The person beside him rolled his eyes and explained, “It’s because the nobles here especially like the young children of the Asians. These pedophiles deserve to die!”

Hearing this, the person who asked the question immediately raised his finger. “Have you noticed that there are too many people in the two Empires recently!”

“Based on my experience, I feel that this war is the result of the joint discussion between the two countries’ senate!”

“That they should reduce the country’s overpopulation through war!”

The man who was drinking had an incredulous look on his face. “Is this for real? How could such a thing happen?!”

“Actually, we can confirm it here!”

“If the two Empires declare war at the same time, then there must be something fishy going on between them.”

The man opposite him thought for a moment. “That’s true! After all, war cannot be launched just like that. Even if one side declares war, the other side must definitely prepare for it!”

“If war is launched as soon as war is declared, isn’t this something that has already been premeditated?”

…

After listening to the words of the two of them, Rollin felt the same way and immediately understood some things.

He could not help but think of Hall, who had just left. Where had this man who had been with the Butcher gone to!?
