Chapter 154 - Do You Lack A Mount?
“President Audrey is dead?”
Everyone there was taken aback when they witnessed Audrey transform into a beam of light and vanish.
That was especially so for Envy and the others. They had seen it clearly. Watson had used a fusion spell on Audrey and fused her with the servant girl named Capella. That was even more terrifying than death because being fused was equivalent to becoming someone else’s nourishment.
While the high-ranking members of the former Demoness Bandit Gang felt sad about Audrey’s death, they were also trembling in their hearts.
If they had not chosen to submit to Watson and had instead gone against him, would the outcome have been equally miserable? They looked at Capella and then at Watson, but they did not say anything.
They suddenly felt that it was quite good to be a maid in Blackmoon Castle.
“President Audrey! D*mn it! He killed the President!”
“Fusing one person into another’s body. What kind of magic is that? That is very strange. That has to be sorcery.”
The people from the Mage Guild reacted; they all wailed and cried. Some people looked in disbelief. The one with the most sorrowful expression was Martin. He was kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face. He looked at the place where Audrey had disappeared and gritted his teeth.
“President Audrey, please rest in peace. May your soul enter the embrace of the gods. ”

He liked Audrey very much, but he did not dare to resist Watson, especially after he saw Watson’s methods of fusing humans; he did not dare to fight him. It would be one thing if Watson fused him with a human, but what if Watson became enraged and fused him with chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, and other animals?
It would be better to die.
“Anyone else like Audrey who wants to resist me?”
Watson turned his head and looked around. Everyone who met his eyes shook their heads.
What was there to resist? Unless, of course, they were crazy.
“Young Master Watson, I have something to say…”
Ron, who Watson had just beaten down, spread his combat aura wings on his back and flew rapidly in Watson’s direction.
However, before he could reach the young man, Capella’s eyes flashed, and she took a step forward. “Stop! Who allows you to be so close to Young Master Watson?”
As her voice echoed, her body glowed with an earthen yellow light. She opened and closed her lips and began to chant silently. In a short while, the earthen yellow light on her body gathered and flew into the air, turning into a sphere that emitted an intense pressure.
“Gold-tier earth-elemental spell, Super Gravity!”
Under the pressure of that super-gravity sphere, Ron’s body suddenly trembled. The combat aura wings on his back shattered, and he fell to the ground in a sorry state. The muscles on his body expanded before they turned into the form of an ice field wolf, but he was still pressed to the ground by gravity. Cracks appeared on the earth beneath him, but it was better than when he was in his human form. At least he could stick out his tongue, even though he could barely breathe.
After he cast the spell, Capella placed her hands on her lower abdomen and returned to Watson’s side with an elegant expression, as though she had done something insignificant.
Watson nodded in satisfaction at Capella. In the past, Capella was only a maid who could do all the housework and did not have much strength. After he fused her with Audrey, Capella had become a gold-tier combat maid. She could even suppress Ron, who was also a gold-tier warrior. That had something to do with Ron’s injury. Of course, what was more important was Capella’s strength.
[Gold-tier combat maid, Capella]
[Abilities: an all-purpose maid who could do all the housework, such as washing, cooking, and cleaning. She also has the strength of a gold-tier mage. She has mastered gold-tier earth-elemental spells, Super Gravity, Death Sandstorm, gold-tier Dark-elemental spells, Dark Mist, Death’s Grasp. In addition, she has dozens of silver and bronze-tier spells.
[Additional abilities: charisma (good at leading others and convincing others), intelligence, decision-making, and charm.]
The information about Capella that appeared in front of him indicated that she was a powerful maid and a qualified leader.
Most importantly, she had become better-looking. Her exquisite face and voluptuous figure made her look more like a shining princess than a maid at home.
Watson sighed as he swept his gaze across a face that was almost the same as Audrey’s. If he could, he would not have used such a method to deal with the enemy, but Audrey had infuriated him. In comparison to killing Audrey, he might as well have wasted her.
He put aside his messy thoughts; Watson looked at Ron, who was lying on the ground. “Why did you rush forward? Why? Do you want to resist me?”
“Young Master Watson, you’ve misunderstood me!”
Ron explained hurriedly, “I did not come here to resist you but to submit to you! Audrey planned the attack on Blackmoon Castle, Young Master Watson. I was also deceived into coming here. I hope that you can forgive us. In return, I will hand over all the forces of the North Wind mercenary group in Monte Town to you. So, Young Master Watson, do you lack a mount?”
A mount?
Watson’s eyebrows shot up.
Ron, who had transformed into a giant wolf, stuck out his long tongue with a fawning look on his face. “Usually, the great nobles would equip their children with powerful magical beasts. That is a symbol of their status. For a great figure like Young Master Watson, of course, he would have his personal mount when he travels! I see that most of the magical beasts in our family are silver-tier. They are not worthy of your status. As for the dragon and the hybrid Phoenix, riding them would be too ostentatious. Why don’t you ride me instead? I am a gold-tier warrior. I can transform into a gold-tier Ice Field Wolf. ”
Shameless.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a wave of disdainful boos from the crowd around him. The dignified leader of the North Wind mercenary group, a gold-tier warrior, wanted to become someone else’s pet.
Ron was unmoved by the boos. After he saw Watson’s methods, he was not willing to become Watson’s son, let alone a pet. Even though he had a demihuman bloodline, he had already reached the gold tier at a young age. However, there was still a long way to go before he could enter into the platinum tier. It was different with Watson’s help. Watson could help people to improve their strength through fusion. Perhaps if he performed well, Watson could also help him to fuse to make him stronger.

Since he had to submit to Blackmoon Castle, why not get his master to treat him better and get more benefits?
Watson had a strange look on his face when he heard Ron’s words. He waved his hand and motioned for Capella to cancel the Super Gravity Spell and let Ron stand up. “That is not a terrible suggestion. You can forget about becoming a mount! From now on, you will be a member of Blackmoon Castle. You must do your best to work for us. ”
“Yes, Young Master Watson. I will not let you down,” Ron replied respectfully.
“Ron, the first task I have for you is to dispose of the astrologer’s corpse.” At that time, not only did he destroy the Mage Guild, but he had also killed the mage who had lived the longest in the kingdom. He believed that the king would not let him off easily after he found out about that, but Walter was not afraid. For the sake of his family and friends, no matter what kind of enemy he faced, he would defeat them.
“Young Master Watson, I don’t dare to do that! Don’t worry; we won’t say anything about the astrologer. Why don’t you do it yourself?”
As Ron spoke, Watson glanced at him, his eyes filled with a coldness that did not match his age. Ron’s body trembled, but he still said respectfully, “Understood.” He quickly walked to the spot where the astrologer had fallen as he complained in his heart.
Watson had asked him to dispose of the astrologer’s body because he feared he would go out and tell on him. That way, he would become Blackmoon Castle’s accomplice. He would not be able to say anything.
After he gave the order to Ron, Watson turned his head to look at the survivors from the Mage Guild and the North Wind mercenary group, who were all kneeling on the ground.
“Astrologer? What astrologer? I have never seen such a person today. ”
“Who is the astrologer? I seem to have lost my memory!”
The group of survivors had blank expressions on their faces. They looked at each other and pretended to be in a discussion.
“Those guys are even more shameless than me!” Ron glanced at the crowd and complained to himself. He walked to the spot where the astrologer’s head had been snapped off. Just as he was about to get the body, he suddenly froze.
There was only a pool of blood on the ground. The astrologer’s body had disappeared without a trace, and a familiar old voice echoed from somewhere behind him.
“It’s only been a short while, and you’ve already forgotten me. That saddens me!” He did not expect that Audrey would die there in the end. Although she was Pride, she was still the Mage Guild’s president and a subordinate of the king. It would be hard for the astrologer to explain if she had died there. It seemed like the astrologer had no choice but to take things seriously.
