"A second-tier companion werewolf?"
A white man looked at his subordinate and said to the people next to him, "I want to resell him. How much are you willing to pay me?"
"Second-order bison subordinate".
"A level one Pokémon... Damn, why am I so unlucky?"
"A Tier 2 Big-Eared Monster! Damn, why are there people on the forum who get Tier 3 or even Tier 4 units right from the start?"
A young girl looked at the farmer beside her in despair and asked, "Are you sure it's a first-tier creature?"
The peasant, looking timid, said, "Master...Master, after I advance, I can become a thief...but, but a thief is still only a first-tier thief."
The forum was filled with cries of despair, because more than 90% of people could not obtain strong subordinate assistance from the very beginning of the Lord's Path. Therefore, those Tier 3 subordinates on the forum were regarded as the ultimate standard.
They are revered as the strong!
"A Tier 3 subordinate Oni mummy can kill the target and has a low probability of dropping gold coins!"
"Located in the Dragon Kingdom, Lu Dongqi, the vanguard captain of the Long Dragon Guild, has one Tier 3 Water Elemental, one Tier 3 Wind Elemental, and one Tier 3 Earth Elemental under his command! The Long Dragon Guild is recruiting. Talented individuals from all walks of life are welcome to contact us. Requirements include Tier 2 or above under your command, or a Lord talent class level of C+ or above."
People on the forum were incredibly envious of this post. Everyone else only had ordinary first-tier subordinates, and you had three third-tier subordinates? How could anyone possibly compete?
"A third-tier priestess..."
"A third-tier ghoul..."
"Haha, they say that although my dwarf gunslinger subordinate is only at the second tier, there's a chance he could be trained into a hero!"
"The foreign American professional gamer, Josiah, has obtained seven fourth-tier subordinates, Wood Spirit Venerables. That's awesome."
"There's a guy in Japan named Nami Amuro who obtained a fourth-tier Ghost Shadow Servant!"
Amidst a flurry of rumors and gossip.
In the game world of Turin, Tier 4 has been revered as a god.
Every player, filled with curiosity, explored this brand new world like a newborn.
Of course, there are also people who don't like lord battles and don't want to participate in this major shift in the tide of history. They spend their days in a daze, traveling and having fun. But such people are still a minority. Urban white-collar workers, former bosses of large companies, presidents and members of game guilds, students and teachers, hundreds of millions of people around the world—it can be said that everyone has been drawn into this game in the world of Turin.
We have no choice but to accept the rules here.
The populations of China, the United States, Japan, the United States... all these countries have poured into the world of Turin.
Against this backdrop, some have raised the question: "Are there any beings whose companions or subordinates are of the fifth rank or higher?"
"Impossible. No one's starting subordinate can be a fifth-tier or higher being."
"In the world of Turin, three deaths mean you're truly dead. Secondly, your subordinates will most likely not exceed the fifth rank. Subordinates above the fifth rank are simply a dream; they don't even exist in the game's forums. Just look at the search terms; nobody has ever obtained a subordinate above the fifth rank. The fourth rank is already godlike."
...
In the world of Turin, near a cliff, red maple trees grew everywhere. The fluttering red maple leaves enveloped a "sacred," "majestic," and "monarchical" man in the shadows of the trees.
What is my subordinate level?
He turned his head away.
A short, classically-looking nobleman dressed in black velvet and wearing a 90th-century bowler hat smiled and said:
"Greetings, Charles-Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte reporting for duty."
"Who do you say you are?"
Napoleon III.
"!!!"
Su Yue was shocked, when suddenly the person in front of him said, "Oh, wrong, I am actually Mr. Charles Hugo. Have you read my works, 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' and 'Les Misérables'? I am known as 'Francis's Shakespeare'... You can call me Mr. Hugo."
"You can also use a different title, like calling me Your Excellency, Member of the House of Lords."
The man possessed an innate aristocratic air, but his words were full of inconsistencies, and Su Yue couldn't stand it any longer: "Wait, what did you say your name was?"
"Charles Hugo".
"Charles Hugo is Victor's son!! You damned liar, and you even claim to be Napoleon III?!"
Su Yue was completely dumbfounded. What exactly was the situation with his subordinates? Why were they so frantically impersonating nobles from his previous life?
A male nobleman in 1990s aristocratic attire, a sword at his waist, with a small mustache, scratched his head and said, "Then I am Karl von Clausewitz of Prussia?"
Su Yue: "I'm sorry, I no longer want to believe you."
"Alright... then I'll have no choice but to introduce myself."
Su Yue said, "No need. You are my vassal, and as your lord, I am entitled to view your records."
Su Yue had no intention of wasting words with the sixth subordinate in front of him.
If someone tries to deceive themselves from the start, their loyalty is probably not very high.
but……
His rank must be very high, right?
Especially his 1990s French aristocratic attire.
Could he really be a special hero?
"Don't overthink it. Open the subordinate panel, and everything will be clear!"
Su Yue decisively opened his game panel. The world of Turin would teleport everyone to an unknown location. He might be next to a dragon's nest, a dragon lake containing an emerald dragon, a dangerous undead territory, or even the dark creatures of an underground castle, or the territory of a ghoul or vampire lord.
In short, you need to adapt to the environment as soon as possible and understand the dangers in the vicinity.
Only then can one gradually plot to establish territory.
In his previous life, Su Yue had also read the forums, so he naturally knew what they discussed on the forums when the server opened. That sense of novelty was something Su Yue didn't have, and he didn't want to waste his time.
Therefore, the plan is to resolve this quickly.
Opening the subordinate lord's panel reveals a variety of sections, including [Friends], [Trade], [Forum], [Equipment], and [Subordinates], all seamlessly integrated into the view.
The moment the "Subordinate" section opens.
Su Yue's face went numb.
"Ninth-tier 'Silver Palace' Demon Lord, Abraham von Heinrich Anatos, Attributes: ???, Skills: ???, Loyalty: 100?"
"—This unit is a hero creature."
"—Abraham, as the devil, enjoyed instigating purgatory and the great war between the lords of the abyss. Lies and deception were his specialties."
"Holy crap!!!!"
"hero?"
Su Yue didn't know whether to be happy or worried. He had looked at the subordinate panels of other players on the forum.
Those subordinates below the fourth rank, including the fourth rank subordinates, all have ordinary attribute panels. The elites' panels are green, and the stronger ones have more varied colors. However, the attribute panel of the demon lord Abraham in front of us is a dazzling bright silver, which is obviously very unusual and similar to the golden light of our god-level lord!
"Ninth rank?!"
"Didn't the forum say that no subordinate rank would exceed the fourth level...?"
What shocked Su Yue even more was the large number of question marks brought about by the hidden information within these panels. Didn't this mean that the strength gap between his subordinate and himself was too great? Was he unable to probe the other party's various attributes?
What does the question mark after 100 loyalty mean?
Will he turn on me?
Suddenly, just as Su Yue was feeling both worried and happy, the 90th-century nobleman in front of him suddenly drew his sword.
The gleaming noble sword was about to pierce Su Yue's throat before he could even react!
"Holy crap, it's devouring its master?"
"It's over... This isn't just an ordinary subordinate, it's a ninth-tier hero..."
Abraham von Heinrich Anatos, the ninth-tier "Silver Palace" demon lord, smiled slightly: "Since you summoned me to this material world, I'll reluctantly kill you, the summoner, and then enjoy my new life of deception and destruction in the material world! Haha! Thank you, esteemed lord, my beloved monarch."
Just as Abraham's sword was about to pierce Su Yue's throat, he discovered that the great lord before him was filled with divine majesty and an extremely repulsive aura.
His expression was indifferent, as if he had expected his assassination attempt.
His silver noble sword, about to pierce five millimeters from his neck, came to an abrupt halt, unable to get any closer!
"What!!!!!"
Su Yue suddenly thought of a possibility.
Despite his outward calm and collected demeanor, he was actually terrified inside. What if he were to suffer a backlash and be killed? Wouldn't that be a huge loss? And what if he were to allow a demon king to wreak havoc on the world of Turin?
But suddenly, at the moment of the attack, he was caught off guard.
The power of the Divine Ruler has been activated.
— "The heroes you recruit have 100% loyalty and cannot betray you."
Will this effect apply to the symbiotic subordinate Abraham?
"Would he be considered a hero I recruited?"
Is he a hero?
The moment the longsword touched his neck, Su Yue realized that he had made the right bet!
The other party can't hurt me at all!
Ha ha!
Abraham suddenly pressed his sword down, knelt on the ground, and said with a respectful expression, "Great Divine Sovereign Su Yue, you are the future ruler of the world. As your humble servant, I am willing to serve you forever beneath your throne and become an insignificant pawn in your rule of the multiverse. Please accept my loyalty to you!"
His assassination attempt was changed to holding the sword with both hands. His previous haughty demeanor and arrogant, mocking expression were transformed into a compassionate and loyal devotion.
"Damn it! That sixth brother!"
