Duke Ethan Bernard, the head of the Bernard Family of Reju Kingdom.
That is the identity of the one in front of Jonathan.
Even though Jonathan can act like a person at the top in front of his family and Alex, in front of the chubby Bernard, he has to always remain polite.
That is because Jonathan's nobility is only that of a count.
Compared to a Duke who rules over a vast land, it was a few ranks apart.
Also, the Bernard Family is well-known in the whole Reju as a family that always produces great players.
That is to say, in their family, there are a lot of people who possess great power.
Jonathan knows that he can't go against them.
At the mont, Jonathan is trying to persuade the head of the Bernard Family, Ethan Bernard, to invest in one of his players with warrior class.
To recruit or raise mages all over the country to strengthen the force of the kingdom.
In other words, to build a magician unit.
You might be wondering, what's Jonathan's confidence to ask a Duke to invest in such a plan of building a magician unit.
Well, Jonathan actually possesses an Epic rank class, the [Archmage].
Thanks to that, Jonathan actually beca one of the most prominent people in Reju.
Jonathan was also granted nobility all because of his achievents in wars that was all because of his class, [Archmage].
That is why, in front of Duke Bernard, Jonathan is only polite.
It is also the reason why a Duke such as Bernard, ca to a Count's place personally.
Anyway, because of his [Archmage] class, Jonathan wants to build a force that purely consists of strong firepower or in other words, pure mages.
Jonathan looked at Ethan seriously and said, "Duke Bernard, please think about what benefits creating such a force will bring us."
"All I'm asking from you is to support and in exchange, I promise you that I will help you when you need my support."
Hearing that, a thoughtful look appeared on Ethan's face.
For a while, the room was dominated by silence.
Jonathan waited patiently for Ethan to respond, keeping his eyes focused on him.
Finally, after a few minutes passed, Ethan opened his mouth and said, "Okay, fine."
"However, I will only support you financially until the magical unit has been fully established. After that, there will be no more."
Instantly, a smile blood on Jonathan's face.
But before he even said anything, Ethan looked at him and said, "In exchange, you have to help with one thing."
Ethan moved closer to Jonathan and whispered sothing.
Imdiately, Jonathan was startled, he looked at Ethan with incredulous eyes and asked, "Are you serious?!"
…
Trial Tower.
Tenth floor.
It took Alex less than 10 minutes to arrive at the tenth from the first floor.
Along the way, the numbers of minotaurs increase with every floor.
But without exception, all of them only took one hit from Alex to die.
That's why, climbing up to the tenth was really nothing to Alex.
The real reason that it took Alex 10 minutes was because he was picking up and inspecting the loot that he got on every floor.
Anyway, thanks to 'Fortune', Alex got quite a bountiful harvest this ti.
His inventory is already packed with all kinds of things from those minotaur's item drops.
Anyway, Alex arrived at the tenth floor without any hassle.
Looking around, Alex noticed that the surroundings here are different from the past floors he's been to.
"Hmm, the walls are actually now brick walls."
"It looks quite similar to the walls I made on the labyrinth at Lucky dungeon."
Alex comnted.
While he was looking around, two consecutive notifications popped up in front of him.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, you have reached the top floor for Tier-1 advancent challengers.]
[Ding!]
[As you have stepped into the tenth floor, the Boss class monster, Minotaur King has awakened.]
[Please defeat the Minotaur King to advance to Tier-1.]
The next second, a monster that is twice as big as the previous minotaurs materialized in front of him.
The Minotaur King is a pretty huge monster.
It has a humanoid body, however, its head is that of a very fierce looking bull!
On its hand, a giant hamr with various unknown inscriptions written on it was being swung around by the Minotaur King like it was nothing.
As soon as it appeared, its eyes were already looking at Alex.
Opening its mouth that's full of vicious looking teeth, it let out a loud roar.
"ROOOAAAARRRR!"
The sound echoed all over the tenth floor.
However, because of the loud noise, a frown appeared on Alex's face.
Irritably, he said, "Aish, these bulls are really all loud creatures."
"They are loud but don't really amount to anything."
"How sad."
Alex shook his head with a disappointed look.
Then he looked at the intimidatingly huge minotaur in front of him and said, "Even using [Inspect] on you is just a waste of ti."
"I should just go ahead and beat you up!"
After his voice died down, Alex jumped towards the Minotaur King and in just a blink of an eye, he appeared above the 4-5 ters tall monster!
The Minotaur King was startled with Alex's sudden appearance above it.
Hurriedly, the Minotaur King raised its giant hamr and swung it at Alex.
"Oraaaaa!"
It yelled as it exerted strength with its muscular arms as it attacked Alex.
Alex didn't even bat an eye after seeing that and just punched the hamr lightly.
Boom!
A shockwave was generated when Alex's fist and the Minotaur King's hamr t.
Dust rose from the ground, covering the two of them from plain sight.
Once the dust disappeared, the figure of the two of them beca visible.
At this ti, Alex is already back on the ground, standing still.
On the other hand, the Minotaur King is now standing a few ters away from its original spot.
When Alex saw that, he whistled and said, "Wow, this is the first ti that soone managed to withstand one of my punches."
Then he smiled and said, "Well, let's see just how much of my strength can you handle!"
After saying that, Alex once again launched an attack.
