World Domination Sys Chapter 506 Uncovering Truths

In the quarters of the King in the Kingdom of Lanthanor, Daneel was sitting and staring at Drakos's heart while being pletely flummoxed.

Its rhythmic beating seemed to give a semblance of calm to his tumultuous mind, and as time passed, he finally took a deep breath and tried to voice his thoughts.

"So...In both Axelor and Arafell, Empire Spirits are in contact with the respective rulers, and they have deployed formations which will detect if anyone else at their level enters their borders. Did I get that right?"

After a pause, Drakos answered.

"It appears to be so, Young King. Even though the information and techniques contained in each of us is different, this formation is mon as it is something basic, but also undefeatable by anyone at that level, which makes it incredibly precious. All it does is detect if anyone at and below the level of a Hero is covertly entering the areas which have been designated. This was originally intended as a safeguard against the Church or other enemies in case of an attack, but clearly, it works against each other among us, too, especially in this age."

"So…why haven't we deployed one on the borders of my Kingdom?"

This was the first damn question that appeared in Daneel's mind.

Those two were aware of all of those who entered their Kingdoms. What about him?!

Drakos had been in his head for quite some time already, but he still hadn't mentioned something so crucial?

An awkward silence followed, during which Daneel could easily guess that Drakos was trying to form an answer that would address the frustration in Daneel's tone when he had asked.

"Err…the answer is that you haven't unlocked it yet, King Daneel. This is one of the formations that is explicitly locked behind the second layer. You don't have enough satisfaction level in your Kingdom for you to unlock it. You can, still, enlist my services as a Formation Master, just like you did before, but certain formations, techniques, and information cannot be given by me unless you unlock them. "

Oh.

Right.

But…How the hell had these two managed to do something which was taking him so long to acplish?!

Daneel couldn't believe it, but as he thought about it, he realized that he partly knew the answer.

This news actually wasn't that surprising in the case of the Kingdom of Arafell, as it was well known that the Queen was loved by all. Since as long as anyone could remember, not a single incident of someone showing discontent had bee known.

This was an almost eerily perfect record, and although Daneel had wondered about it before, he had just assumed that it might be that all incidents like those were being hidden away.

However, now, he realized that that might not be the case.

Maybe…the satisfaction level really was that high?

But how?

This was a question for which he would have loved to find the answer by going to Arafell using Drakos's Hero level spells, but obviously, that wasn't possible anymore.

Still, what about Axelor?

Everyone knew about the famous brainwashing regime of the Kings of Axelor. Rumors about horrific events called 'Purges' were also always abound in the continent.

How the hell could a Kingdom like that have such a high satisfaction level?!

As Daneel asked Drakos this, he got the answer.

"Young King, satisfaction level is a criterion which can be achieved in many ways. The best way, and the way that was intended by the Emperor, is what you are on. It is by doing good to the people and making them feel glad that they are being governed by you. The other way is to use forceful methods. You must be aware that there are different criteria for different Kingdoms. It might be that…whatever criteria was given to the Empire Spirit of Axelor, is being fulfilled very well by what their King is doing."

Right.

Taking another deep breath, Daneel tried to order his thoughts.

The old man in Elanev's head had mentioned this before, but in his shock from having all of his plans dashed, Daneel hadn't been able to remember it. Still, he couldn't have expected that an additional tier would have already been unlocked by that crazy man.

However it had happened, it was done.

Cursing at it would bring no results. Instead, all he could do was amend his plans to acmodate for this fact.

Initially, he was going to take the easy way: he would infiltrate them both using Drakos's spells before finding ways to usurp those leaders or bring them under his influence using something he might find by snooping around in their Kingdoms without their knowledge.

Clearly, that wasn't possible anymore.

So, it was time for a new plan.

Yet…he was blank.

He knew that his spies were practically ineffective in these Kingdoms, and going in by himself using a camouflage spell was out of the question, as there was quite a big risk that he might be spotted by the ruler and caught.

After all, even though covert ways of entry were being blocked, it didn't mean that the formation could check each and every person entering the Kingdom after obtaining proper permission.

After asking Drakos and finding out that this was true, Daneel heaved a sigh of relief before once again starting to consider what he was going to do.

If camouflage was out of the question…then what?

Normal means of concealment using physical props was also too risky, and he knew that he definitely did not want to get caught inside their Kingdom without Drakos. That would definitely be the worst thing that could happen, even if he was a Peak Exalted Warrior at the moment.

So, while Daneel pondered, he was quite surprised when he heard Drakos speak up.

"Young King, I think you are overlooking something."

Raising an eyebrow, Daneel wondered what he could have missed that the innocent Dragon hadn't.

"What's that?
