" Hahaha, I see, no wonder he's so strong, a hardworking man like himself is really hard to find these day's."

" Brother's there's no need for such, I'm sure the lot of you are equally as hardworking. It's not everyday I get to see a party as strong as your's." Su Ping spoke up.

" Hahaha, brother you really know what to say at the right time." An adventurer laughed.

" Its nothing, after all, a man must be open if he wants the world to open up to him."

" Not only are you strong but your wise as well, I think the name necrotic sage would be a great fit for one such as yourself." Said another adventurer.

" Hahaha, well said brother, I think your suggestion is a valid one. From now on, I shall be known as the necrotic sage in honor of this wonderful moment we've shared together." Su Ping said with a jolly laugh.

The more they conversed the more the adventurer liked the necromancer and demon duo.

Su Ping and Rugard continued on with their facade and with time, Su Ping continued to learn more and more about the Lion heart Kingdom. Rugard also gained some information as well, particularly those regarding the capital.

He also learned that his warrant had been made public throughout the kingdom, which was a deciding blow to him, after all, it meant that he had no other choice but to keep his identity hidden from now on, unless he wished to be captured.

' The Lion heart Kingdom is divided into 4 main region's, the north, south, east and west.'

' Each region is managed by the highest nobles, which are the 4 dukes, 2 are related to the royal family by blood while the other two aren't, and below the duke's are several other noble families who are ranked accordingly.' Su Ping was currently seated in a cart, alongside his wife and kids who were already asleep.

' The noble households are one of the strongest factions in the kingdom, although they're other organizations that can match them in terms of power, for example, the church, who's own influence has reached a formidable level that the noble households have begun to resist against them due to fear of their influence.'

' Another is the military who follow the orders of the Grand Marshall, below the grand Marshall are the generals and below them are the admirals and vice admirals.'

' The church holds control over most of the people while the military controls most of the kingdoms strength, then there's the merchant association that controls the kingdoms fund's, with their power, they can plunge the kingdom into an era of instability if they so choose.'

' The more I think about all this, the more I feel that the weakest faction in all this are the nobles. It seems the only ones with true power are the merchant association, military and the church, the royal family might just be figure heads without actual power, because if they possessed absolute control over the kingdom, they wouldn't allow the kingdom to be put in such disarray.'

' In the end, every faction seems to be vying for supremacy...wait a moment. ' Su Pings thoughts suddenly shifted as an idea came to mind.

' Could it be that the reason the kingdom is fractured into so many factions is due to the effects of other player's.' The more Su Ping thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense yet at the same time he was worried.

If there were really players, causing all this instability, wouldn't that mean that as a fellow player, in other to achieve his aim, he would have to face them head on, currently the possiblity of him wining were close to non, after all, he had no force to call his own, while they had more than enough.

' It's a good thing I decided to listen to Mel Mel... If i had just rushed in blindly, who knows if the same thing that happened back in the Abyss would've happened here. Instead of facing all of them directly, I should be more focused on tackling them all individually.' Su Ping let out a breath.

' This conquering job isn't as easy as I thought.'

' But no matter, Unlike them who were reincarnated into already prepared bodies, I have a better advantage. My bloodline.'

' All I need to do is keep upping my strength and I'll soon be able to beat them all without much effort, but first I'll need to meet the level up requirements for Lvl 2.' a status window emerged before Su Ping's eyes the instant the thought came to mind.

[Lvl UP Requirements]

• Amass a territory of 100km

• Amass an army of 100,000 Lvl 1 units and 1000 Lvl 2 units.

[System Note: Possessing 1 more Lvl 2 unit can make up for 10 Lvl 1 units. If the player is able to gather 11,000 Lvl 2 units, the requirement shall be wavered.]

Su Ping almost screamed in shock when he saw the requirements. It was basically a 100 fold increase in difficulty! But thinking back to it, He had already learned from Lucinda, that the Lion heart Kingdom had a territory of at least 38,000 sq kilometers, which was more than half the size of the earth along the equator.

Furthermore, Su Ping learned that although the kingdom was divided into regions, in a whole, it was also divided into districts as well, that housed parts of each region. The closer one was to the innermost district, the more changes they would see.

The inner most district was the district where only those of the Royal household were allowed to stay. It was also known as the golden district.

Just outside it is the white district, a place only those at the top of the kingdoms hierarchy or those who were greatly influential and wealthy could reside, The 4 dukes households, the churches pope and bishops as well as the leading figures in the military and Merchant association for example.

Below the white district is the blue district, where figures such as high ranking nobles, the wealthy and influencial would reside, such as Marquis's, Bishops, Admirals e.t.c
