Reincarnated As A Wolf With Cheats - Chapter 189
When Shin announced that, Kerin was completely shocked. He never had any ambition of becoming a king. All he wanted was a post from where he could serve his own people and help them properly.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to tell that the current property of Loria in financial fields was thanks to Kerin and is wise thinking.
‘Yes, he would be the best one to rule for now.’
‘Rather than making him a foe or killing him, it would be best to pull him towards my side.’, was what Shin thinking.
Well, it was not that he just randomly decided this. Of course, the decision of leaving him to handle the kingdom, for now, was made instantly, the process of thinking wasn’t that simple.
Earlier when Shin was surprised to see that a human came forward to converse with him, he had analyzed and had taken a look at his profile.
While all the stats seemed quite normal when compared to other humans, there were two specific stats that surprised him and forced him to make such a decision.
[ Profile ]
[ Int: 185 || Max. Int: 205 ]
[Passive skills]
1] Blessing of Goddess of Fortune Lv.3
-> Fortune in terms of money and gold will double automatically when in possession.
-> Extreme luck is granted in financial cases.
No matter what, Shin couldn’t let the person go.
Even a dragon didn’t have the intelligence that Kerin had shown and the blessing made him extremely valuable.
‘Yes, he should become my subordinate.’
Having a way too smart person under you could be beneficial, however, it shouldn’t be overlooked that the said person is a double-edged sword!
Yes, he could strike back with a proper plan and trap escaping from which would be nearly impossible, so Shin had to think twice before making this judgment.
‘System, show the status effects and the personality which he has.’ – Shin made a rather tough and unreasonable request from the system.
However, the system had no problem whatsoever in showing those since it had advanced quite a lot since the last evolution.
Of course, there were tons of things that it couldn’t do, but there were many things that were possible thanks to the system – one of them was seeing other’s personalities apart from profile.
[ Status effect ]
-> Fear
-> Regret
-> Confusion
-> Astonishment
[ Personality ]
-> Hardworking
-> Selflessness
‘Haha, how can I ignore someone with such personality?’ – Shin smirked and made the decision.
Kerin thought for a few seconds before accepting. He wanted to know if it was for the best or not.
‘Yeah, even a beast like him can tell that I was foolish enough to give the kingdom to someone unknown.’
‘By ruling it, I can ensure its prosperity in a much better manner.’
Kerin realized that ruling it himself would be the best. At the same time, he realized that he had to hand over the kingdom to Shin someday.
But there was just one thing that he could not understand.
“If you did not come to rule this place, then why did you attack us in the first place?”, Kerin asked.
‘Uh, I can’t possibly tell him that it was because of the reward that the mission was offering me.’, Shin thought.
He looked at him with a stern expression and replied, “I did come to rule the kingdom, however, I am not ready yet.”
“After I gain my human form, I will surely return to rule.”
The moment he mentioned that all the eyes suddenly turned towards him.
‘Did…’
‘Did he just say that he will gain the human form?’, the shadow wolf general, who heard the entire conversation, was completely puzzled and shocked.
“As expected of master!”, Deoras just smiled as if it was nothing out of the ordinary!
Other than him, everyone present there was completely astonished and bewildered.
Especially, Argant and other shadow wolves.
‘So he wants to transform into a human?’
‘Well, with his strength, he might as well turn that impossible feat to possible.’, Argant smiled with thrill.
Yes, he was thrilled after hearing that.
‘It’s like I’m witnessing a legend.’, Deoras and Argant said to themselves simultaneously.
Kerin’s jaw dropped when he heard this. His eyes were left open and it felt as if they could pop out any moment.
“H-human form?”
“That’s…”
Since the past, only a few could transform into humans – A dragon, an elf, a dwarf, a demon, and a wolf – these were the only ones that could successfully transform into humans.
Well, transforming into a human doesn’t merely mean gaining the appearance of a human – it means every functioning and magic attribute and characteristic of a human.
Yes, many dragons have assumed the human form but that is nothing more than a mere illusion. When others look at them, they look like humans and that’s all, they aren’t in human form, to begin with.
The same is with many other races that blend with the human population by using advanced illusion magic.
Therefore when Shin said that, Kerin couldn’t help but be surprised.
He then nodded his head and said, “Yes, I will wait for you till that day.”
Then after a short pause because of the shock, Kerin continued.
“And yes, before you leave, you have to take down the king and other greedy nobles.”
“Huh?”
“Can’t you do that?”, Shin asked.
“Uh, no.”
“Actually…”, Kerin explained everything that had happened.
Shin understood and after that, he asked, “So you came here without even informing the King?”
“Yes…”, Kerin sighed.
“Then how did you give me the proposal of surrendering the kingdom when your king himself isn’t ready?”, Shin looked at Kerin with a fierce gaze.
“That…”, and Kerin tried to avoid looking into Shin’s eyes.
“Sigh, let’s leave what has happened and think of the next move.”
“Do something and get the king out.”
“I’ll handle the rest.” – Shin outrightly said that he was going to murder the king and tasked Kerin in bringing the King out of the castle.
‘Alright, now all I need to do is wait…’
And just when he thought that he looked at the timer that was going on.
[ 00:01:00:32 ]
Just one hour and thirty-two seconds were remaining and if Kerin were to delay, then the reward could be forgotten forever!
