Earl of the Ancestor Law Enforcement."
As Akash Tagar congratulated Haji Tea, they both heard the System's voice.
*beep*
[ Haji Tea has been appointed as an Earl of the Ancestor Law Enforcement. Haji Tea can use all of the privileges of an Earl at the store besides some exceptions that are forbidden for Earl Haji Tea as he will otherwise be sent to the punishment grounds called 'Prison Feared by True Gods' as a warning.
If he still decides to repeat it, then after the punishment his life will be taken by the now signed Blood Subordinate Contract. ]
Both Akash Tagar and Haji Tea were looking at each other but their reactions were different. Akash was grinning while Haji Tea's face was full of shock.
"Whose voice was that?"
Haji Tea inquired.
"You will know in due time."
Akash answered vaguely.
"May I ask, what are those forbidden things which I must not do?"
Haji Tea looked questioned the screen he was looking at.
[ There are 3 things a subordinate cannot do, no matter what.
1. A subordinate must not disobey the King.
2. A subordinate must not betray the King.
3. A subordinate must not share the secrets of the Ancestor Law Enforcement to anyone, even their own blood kin.
If a subordinate violates any of these rules, the punishment will be inevitable. ]
"May I ask, who is the King?"
Haji Tea asked yet again.
*beep*
[ The name of the King is Akash Tagar. He is the only king of this force and all the subordinates must serve him and fight for him until they die. ]
Haji Tea looked at Akash with awe and as he was swimming in a whirlpool of emotions. The System continued.
[ The host has gathered his 1st subordinate. Upgrade the HQ to unlock the Store feature and collect your Mythical Grade King's Cloak. Earl Haji Tea can also collect his Mythical Grade Earl's Cloak. ]
Both Akash and Haji were looking at System's screen with their mouths agape.
"Did you just hear what I heard?"
Akash Tagar asked Haji Tea.
"Yes, My Liege... Huh? Why did I say that?"
*beep*
[ All the subordinates have a restriction on their language, they cannot utter the name of the King while in his presence. They can only call him My Liege. ]
Akash Tagar facepalmed.
"What kind of stupid logic is this? Nobody can force anyone to respect another."
Haji Tea sighed and looked at Akash.
"My... Liege."
"It's okay, don't call me that. You can just call me Mr. Akash."
"I'm trying to, but I can't."
Haji Tea let out another sigh.
"My Liege, let's leave that for another time and upgrade the HQ. I want to see the Mythical Grade Item this screen mentioned."
"To upgrade the HQ, I need money and land. I only have 100 Square Feet and zero money on my name now."
Haji Tea looked at him and questioned him.
"How much money and land is required?"
"10,000 square feet around the current HQ and 1 million coins."
*beep*
[ The host hasn't paid the 1,000,00 coins of the first level of the HQ, thus combined with the fee of the second level of the HQ, it would be 1.1 million. ]
Akash's eyes twitched as he thought the 1st level would be free just like his first panda beast.
"My Liege, I'll arrange all of them."
Haji Tea stated to Akash. He wasn't someone who would chagrin about formalities in exchange for a Mythical Grade item. Haji Tea was even more curious about the power of this HQ.
Akash didn't inquire further on this and replied.
"Alright then, I will accept your humble help Earl Haji but in return, all of your taxes will be spared."
Haji Tea felt a strange warmth resembling pride in his heart. He was shocked, why do I feel so happy when Akash appreciated my help? Is this because of the contract? He pondered.
"Do you happen to have a bank account, My Liege?"
"Not yet. Please make one for me if possible."
"Leave it to me!"
After arranging everything Akash called for the System.
"System, everything is ready. 10,000 square feet, 1.1 million cosmic coins and an Earl. Now please upgrade the HQ to Lv 2."
*beep*
[ It will be ready in 1 minute, until then everyone has to vacate the HQ. ]
Both Akash Tagar and Haji Tea came out of the HQ promptly and a square spatial barrier surrounded the designated 10,000 area of the HQ. Following this 1 minute, the barrier vanished.
Akash and Haji were looking at the HQ awestruck. The small walls had turned into big walls of a mansion.
They all looked so beautiful, and they seemed to be made of some type of rare stone that gave a pleasant whitish light.
The silver door changed into a big gate with some intricate and seemingly ancient patterns engraved on it.
In the middle of the gate was a golden image of a majestic and gigantic turtle. Above that picture, the words 'Ancestor Law Enforcement' was written.
The first one to broke the silence was Haji Tea.
"Ho… how is this... possible?"
Akash understood the sudden shock of Haji Tea's. He tapped his shoulder and said.
"Earl Haji, I assure you that you won't be disappointed by your decision to join us. There is no force such as our Ancestor Law Enforcement. Now, calm yourself and let's check the inside."
