For half an hour, the pain that came from the depths of his bloodline assaulted him like an endless tide.
In the end, Kant’s eyes spat out a large number of pitch-black data chains. These data chains were mixed with an extremely complicated crimson pattern. Kant understood that it was his real name — Isai. Lannister Tolia, which was a part of the rules of war. To be able to absorb the power of the rules of war from these chains, this was the source of the power of the world’s noble families.
“Kacha!”
Suddenly, a large number of pitch-black data chains that had already been spat out from Kant’s eyes broke apart. Following that, the dark red real name was enveloped and exploded. Kant was shocked to see an incomparably terrifying data stream. They continued to wash away the dark red real name, knowing that the dark red real name had directly disintegrated into nothingness.
This was the first time Kant had seen the data chain that the system sent out self-destruct, using a form of partial self-destruction to destroy another existence.
At the moment when the real name was completely destroyed by the system’s data stream, Kant felt an indescribable sense of ease, as if he had broken free from an invisible chain.
“Ding… temporary side quest completed.”
“Ding… the system has entered a state of self-repair. Please wait patiently for the system to complete its repair.”
“48:00:00”
“47:59:59”
Kant was speechless. He had thought that the system would finally come in handy after digesting the information, but he did not expect it to be “injured” now. It even set a countdown to repair, a total of 48 hours.
Kant was really curious. After the system digested the guy in the Crown of Darkness, what information did it get that caused it to react so intensely. It was the “Absolute estate” and it did not hesitate to self-destruct a part of itself. Kant understood that the form of the system’s existence was the data chain.
Chirp chirp chirp chirp.
Suddenly, in the sky, six goshawks cried out in dissatisfaction. They circled around Kant.
Kant could still communicate with their minds. He understood that the six goshawks were shouting, “Give me strength! Give me strength!”
These six goshawks were cute.
Unfortunately, Kant was no longer a noble of the world. His real name was directly extracted from the depths of his bloodline by the system. Without his real name, he would be unable to continuously absorb the power of the rules of war from the rules of war. He would also be unable to continuously provide strength to the six goshawks. The six goshawks had submitted to him because of power. At this moment, he could not give them power. Perhaps they would betray him.
However, Kant could not bear to retaliate against the upcoming betrayal of the six goshawks.
Because they were simple and direct. These six goshawks did not owe Kant anything. At the moment of submission, they had obtained the power they wanted, and they had conscientiously fulfilled any request Kant had given them. At this moment, Kant could no longer satisfy their thirst for power. If they really wanted to argue, Kant had let them down.
“You can go. I have lost my real name, and I can no longer provide you with the power of the rules of war. I can no longer allow you to maintain the power of a peak Grand Knight,” Kant said softly to the six goshawks in his mind.
Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.
The six goshawks kept circling around. When they heard the words in Kant’s mind, their cries became anxious. The six goshawks seemed to be quarreling at this moment.
Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.
After about three minutes of each other’s cries, the six goshawks were divided into two teams, one team with three goshawks.
One of the teams flew directly to the south. They came from the South County territory, which was their home. Obviously, they were going home. Kant’s connection with their minds was also rapidly fading, which meant that they had quickly broken away from their status of submitting to Kant — one could imagine how neat and decisive they were.
After flying south for a while, the three goshawks suddenly flew north and back to Kant. They circled over Kant’s head for a while, chirping for a while, then flew south again, this time for real.
The other three goshawks, however, were circling over Kant’s head. Kant was connected to their minds, which meant that after Kant lost his position as the world’s noble, they chose to continue to submit to Kant, even if Kant could no longer provide them with power at this time.
They did not cry out to show their love, nor did they tell Kant through their minds how unjust the departure of the other three was, thus complementing how rare and difficult it was for them to stay together. They just silently hovered above Kant, just like in the past.
These three goshawks were, after all, just three big birds. They were simple, direct, and childish.
“Those three goshawks just now, what did they call out before they left?” Kant asked the three goshawks who chose to stay behind and continue to serve him in his mind. The three other goshawks had already severed their mental connection with Kant, so Kant did not know what they had said when they returned.
Birds spoke bird language. Kant did not understand, but their own kind did.
“They said, ‘we’re leaving, remember to come and play with us when you go to the south.’”
“Oh,” Kant replied with a smile.
Of the three goshawks that stayed behind, the first goshawk that submitted to Kant was still among them. Kant understood that these three goshawks did not submit to him for power and he did not know why. However, he had a strange feeling that these three goshawks would never leave after submitting to him.
“From now on, the two of you are called Greeny and Blacky.”
Kant said to the two goshawks that did not have names. The two goshawks immediately began to chirp happily.
“My name is Greeny! My name is Greeny!”
“My name is Blacky! My name is Blacky!”
Blitz was also unwilling to be lonely and chirped along.
“My name is Blitz! My name is Blitz!”
The wings of the goshawks were greenish-black, so Kant named the two goshawks based on those colors.
Although the goshawks were very simple, they were happy to have their own names. This was because they also understood that the existence of a name meant that they were unique and different. This was something that all living beings who could think yearned for.
Kant felt the four extraordinary powers lurking deep within his body, he muttered to himself in surprise, “I thought that after my real name was stripped away, my Power of War would disappear and it would still exist. But now, I’m really a Grand Knight and not an Extraordinary Knight. I don’t know if the new path of power given by the system, the path of the commander, will be able to become an Extraordinary Knight. If it’s possible, I hope that the power will belong to me.”
