My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 162 - A Planned Scheme

Chapter 162: A Planned Sche

The astrologer stood nearby as he kept a close eye on Watson’s every move. He did not say anything, and his expression was slightly moved.

When Watson said that he wanted to recruit those people as his subordinates, the old man had wanted to say sothing to remind them. Those people had been tricked so miserably by Watson, so they could not really surrender. They would only turn into moths after they were recruited into Blackmoon Castle.

However, Watson had recruited Anna, the only one who had stood up to resist him. That was beyond his expectations, so he did not make a move. Imdiately after that, Watson’s actions shocked him even more.

“The first round tested courage, the second round tested wisdom. After that round, those people from the Mage Guild lost their temper! And Watson had also successfully planted a seed in their hearts, a seed that ensured they would never resist. What a good thod!”

The astrologer sighed. He had a strange thought in his heart.

Was his disciple only ten years old? Why did he feel that he was even more shrewd than an adult?

Pure strength could only make people strong. If one had the strength and intelligence, they would beco the overlord of a region. The astrologer saw the shadow of a young overlord in Watson.

The astrologer laughed at himself. He was a little scared to see Watson. No one would believe that Watson could make an old monster like him, who had lived for hundreds of years, afraid. While he was terrified, he was also intrigued. He was curious about Watson’s parents; what kind of people were they to raise such a child.

“Capella, take those people to the castle to sign a contract and arrange a place for them to live.”

Watson waved his hand and gave Capella an order while the astrologer was thinking.

“Yes, Young Master Watson.”

Capella bowed respectfully as she led the remaining soldiers of the Mage Guild and the North Wind rcenary group toward Blackmoon Castle, her gaze fixed on Watson. Anna was one of them.

The expressions of those people were sowhat gloomy. No matter what their identities were in the past, whether it was the elder of the Mage Guild or the leader of the rcenary Corps, at that mont, they were all Watson’s slaves.

Those people’s expressions were a little gloomy. Regardless of their previous identities, whether it was a Mage Guild elder or the rcenary group leader, they were all Watson’s slaves.

“Master, let’s go.”

Watson turned around and walked in front of the astrologer, revealing a cute and sweet smile as he did so. “Oh, right! The Blackmoon Town has suffered significant damage, and Blackmoon Castle is on the verge of collapse! I could have arranged for you to stay in a luxurious room, but I am afraid I will not be able to do so now. Do you think you’d be alright?”

“You brat, you’ve just taken as your master, and now you’re asking for benefits?”

The astrologer scolded him jokingly.

“No, not at all. After all, you were the one who started the fight. You hard not only Blackmoon Castle but also my n! What if they bla you and refuse to recognize you as their master? Would not that be awful?” Watson placed his hand on his cheek. He made a face.

“As long as you do not acknowledge them, they will not acknowledge you.”

“That won’t do. My n are like my family. My master is also my family. It would be difficult for to do anything if there’s a conflict in my family. Can you please be more considerate?”

Watson stretched his hand and pulled the astrologer’s arm. He shook it gently, and his big eyes twinkled pitifully. “How about that, Master? You help repair Blackmoon Castle, and I’ll spread the news that you’ve beco my master.”

“Alright, you’re really smart. I give in.”

The astrologer replied helplessly and touched the beard on his face.

Ever since the battle ended, he had stopped using his magic. His handso face had gradually aged, causing wrinkles to appear on his face again, and his beard quickly grew out.

He had wanted to help with the reconstruction of Blackmoon Town. After all, he had taken a fancy to Watson’s ability. If he did not repair the town, it would not be good if Watson beca angry with him.

He did, however, want to take the initiative to repair the town, and Watson had requested his assistance. Watson also stated that he wished to publicize the fact that he had beco his master. He was clearly looking for protection for himself. If he made it known that he, a platinum-tier mage, had stayed at Blackmoon Castle, no one would dare to cross the border. What a brilliant strategy!

The astrologer gave his disciple a thoughtful look. On the surface, his disciple appeared to be a harmless child. However, after what had just happened, he had already seen Watson’s true nature. Underneath the child’s exterior was a heart as cunning as a fox.

He appeared to be aware of the astrologer’s gaze. Watson pretended to be cute by saying, “Do not be concerned, Master. I am not going to let you down. How about I announce to the public that you’re my master? Not now, but a long ti ago, you beca my master. I can beco a gold mage and warrior, all thanks to you! You are not here to attack Blackmoon Castle. Instead, you are putting to the test through the Mage Guild. That way, the family will not hold it against you. You will also gain a reputation as a good teacher.”

The astrologer sighed, unable to defeat Watson’s blinking eyes. “I see what you an. I’ll listen to you.”

Watson, he suspected, had devised a plot against him.

Phew.

Watson exhaled a long sigh. He had long asked the astrologer to pose as his master. On the one hand, it might help to resolve the conflict between the astrologer and his family. On the other hand, he could conceal the fact that he had the system. He had lied to his family, claiming to have learned the fusion system from a master. He had not allowed that master to appear after all that ti. His family would most likely be suspicious.

It was enough to assuage their suspicions since he had the astrologer.

After he discusses it with the astrologer, they walk toward Blackmoon Castle. Just as they entered the castle gate, a figure rushed forward and hugged him tightly. “Watson, it’s great that you’re okay.”

“Fifth Brother, what’s wrong?”

Watson realized who was hugging him when he felt the warmth of his embrace. It was his fifth brother, Peter. Unlike his previous sluggish appearance, his fifth brother appeared to be very energetic. His arms were brimming with power. He must have taken the Phoenix Egg.

“I heard there was a battle going on outside. I was really worried that you wouldn’t be able to co back! It is a sha I have been bedridden all year and know nothing about fighting. Otherwise, I might be able to assist you. I am so useless.” Peter’s face was stricken with self-pity. Watson patted him on the back and comforted him. “Do not be like that, Fifth Brother. I am relieved to see you here in good health.”

“Young Master Watson, Young Master Peter had insisted on running outside. We almost couldn’t stop him! He even carried so of us, and he had so knowledge about herbs. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have been able to recover so quickly. Not only Young Master Peter, the other young masters and ladies also did what they could.”

An injured Blackmoon Knight walked forward and said with a smile.

Watson had fought desperately to protect his family. His family had also racked their brains about how to protect him. They were very kind. It was their honor to be able to work for such a family.

“You flatter . I did not do anything.” Peter scratched his head in embarrassnt after they praised him. He had been ill and in bed for a long ti, so he had so understanding of the dicine that he usually took. One could almost beco a doctor when one was ill for such a long ti.

“Watson, thank you for your hard work.”

The master of the castle, Edward and Catherine, also walked outside, followed by all his brothers and sisters in the house. Watson was surprised to find that his sixth sister, Margaret, who had been staying in the room and refused to go out, was also there. He held a thick stack of paper in her hand. She kept sizing him up and recording sothing on it.

After greeting Watson, Edward’s expression turned serious. He walked up to the astrologer and knelt on one knee respectfully. “Edward Gehry, greetings to the senior astrologer. Thank you for sparing our Blackmoon Castle.”

Edward’s face turned solemn after he greeted Watson. He approached the astrologer and knelt respectfully on one knee. “Hello, I am Edward Garry; good day to you, Lord Astrologer. Thank you for protecting Blackmoon Castle.”

“Edward Garry? Edward Garry Saint Laurent! You’re that brat who defected from the Saint Laurent family back then. I know you!”

After a few seconds of assessing Edward, the astrologer had an epiphany. His eyes glowed. “I haven’t seen you in so many years; I almost did not recognize you. My mory has deteriorated as well. It is no surprise that Watson is so good. So he is your son. I would not have attacked if I had not known that Blackmoon Castle is yours! Let us get started. I have a question for you. Let us go sowhere private to talk.”
