My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 443 – The All–powerful Genius

“Have you heard? Something big is going to happen at the Royal Academy today.”

“What is it? Tell me quickly.”

“I received news yesterday that the Dragon Clan has appeared in the royal city. They made an agreement with His Majesty, saying that they would come to the Royal Academy to choose recruits for the Dragon Knight Legion. I also heard that His Majesty had signed a new contract with the Dragon Clan. He was dissatisfied with ten Dragon Knights, so His Majesty decided to expand the Dragon Knight Legion to 100 people. The 90 recruits will be selected from the Royal Academy. I wonder who will be lucky enough to be part of the 90 recruits.”

“Are you serious? They want to expand the Dragon Knight Legion to a hundred people? Even if His Majesty agrees to it, will the Dragon Clan agree to it?”

“That's right. The father of my uncle's brother's nephew's sister is a guard in the royal palace. Just yesterday, he overheard the discussion between His Majesty and the Dragon Clan. Just as you said, the Dragon Clan did not agree at first, but later, His Majesty gave them 10 million gold coins, countless rare treasures, and fine wine. They decided to do it happily.”

“Whether it's true or not, we'll know when we see if anyone from the Royal Academy is doing recruitment for the Dragon Knights Legion.”

It was early in the morning; many exciting discussions had broken out in the Royal Academy. Many students were whispering among themselves, discussing the rumors circulating in the royal city.

Watson and Christina walked down the small path toward the direction of the warrior department.

Watson kept yawning. Due to King Landhar III's order and the long conversation with the three princes, he had stayed in the palace until very late. When he got home, he had to entertain his two masters.

Antonio and Reid interrogated him separately after returning home, asking if King Landhar III had done anything to him after being invited to the palace. Watson could only tell them everything that had happened in the royal palace. After hearing his words, both of them had ugly expressions on their faces. They said that King Landhar III must have done something terrible to the Dragon Clan.

By expanding the Dragon Knight Legion to 100 people, the strength of the Holy Dragon Kingdom would increase by leaps and bounds. One ordinary Dragon Knight was equivalent to an army of 10,000 people. A hundred Dragon Knights were enough to flatten the other four kingdoms on the continent. The most important thing was that King Landhar III's strength had become stronger. It would be difficult to overthrow his rule.

As Watson's staunch supporters, Reid and Antonio's heads ached when they thought about that. On the other hand, Watson was relatively calm. He felt like even if the number of Dragon Knights increased from 10 to 100 or even 1,000, it would not have any impact on him because those dragons could be fused whenever he wanted.

It was the same for the God-king's Throne of Commandment, a peak starlight-tier weapon that he had fused for King Landhar. The King might have thought that he had obtained a magnificent treasure, but what he did not know was that everything that Watson had fused remained as Watson's. With just a thought, he could use the God-king's Throne of Commandment to control King Landhar III.

'I wonder what kind of dragon Fafnir will give me? It's not impossible to become a Dragon Knight, but I already have the Golden Flash and the Death Omen Star Dragon on Mount Creation. If the dragon she gives me is not as strong as the Golden Flash and Charcoal, I might as well summon them to the capital and make them my mounts,' Watson thought to himself.

In his opinion, if the dragon he accepted were not strong enough, not only would they be useless, but the dragon would also monitor him. As for exposing the Golden Flash and Charcoal to King Landhar III, that was not a good thing either. Therefore, he weighed the pros and cons of those two points.

'I have to worry about becoming a Dragon Knight and the potion that King Landhar III asked me to develop to improve the fertility of the dragons. Both issues are very troublesome! Before I came to the academy, I gathered some fertility-enhancing potions through the Severed Fingers Gang. If I fuse them, creating a potion that's effective on the dragons won't be a problem. However, is it a good idea to do that?'

He had already displayed sufficient strength in front of King Landhar III, including creating starlight-tier weapons. As a result, the first person that King Landhar III thought of when he mentioned the creation of weapons was him. If he showed his talent in potion-making, King Landhar III would probably summon him to the palace more frequently in the future to manufacture all kinds of things. If that went on, not only would it waste his time, but he would also expose too many of his trump cards in front of King Landhar III.

“I should either create a potion that can increase the dragon's fertility at the lowest level or pretend to fail.”

Watson thought for a very long time but could not come up with a good idea. He took a deep breath and threw those worries to the back of his mind.

There was always a way out. It was useless to think so much. As for the task given to him by King Landhar III, even if he could not create the potion, King Landhar III would not blame him too much.

Watson relaxed and focused his attention elsewhere. At that moment, he was not far from the warrior department. The number of students around him had increased. They gathered in twos and threes to discuss matters related to the expansion of Dragon Knight Legion.

He had attended the banquet in the palace the previous day. Other than the members of the royal family, only the dragons, Nia, and Sidi had participated in the feast. Nia and Sidi would not tell anyone about those matters, and the royal family members would definitely not tell anyone either. In other words, the information that those students knew was intentionally revealed by King Landhar III. He wanted to let people know about the expansion of Dragon Knight Legion.

'King Landhar III is really a resourceful king. Not only did he suppress the matter with the dead dragon last night, but he also signed new terms with the Dragon Clan to make the kingdom stronger. Thus, killing three birds with one stone.'

Watson could not help but sigh in his heart. King Landhar III did not contribute much to achieving such a result. On the contrary, he only relied on the sun fruit wine, gold coins, and a starlight-tier weapon that Watson had fused.

When Watson had fused those things, he only thought of using them to make money or weapons for his subordinates. He had not thought of using those things as bargaining chips, so he did not need to fight to make the enemy compromise. That was how a politician would think.

He reflected on that. In the future, when he was with King Landhar III, he could not just think of ways to bring him down. At the same time, he had to learn those useful aspects from King Landhar III as well. When he became the ruler, he would need those skills.

“Watson!”

While he was thinking, someone suddenly shouted his name. He stopped and turned around to see a girl running toward him.

It was Rose, whom he had saved yesterday. Soon, she arrived in front of him with a woman who looked similar to her. However, the woman was more mature, and her body was emitting the fluctuations of an elite.

At that moment, Rose Weiser was panting, and her head was sweaty. Her hands were propped up on her calves, and she could not say a word.

“Miss Rose Weiser, what's wrong?” Watson asked.

“Watson, I agreed to what you offered me yesterday. I'm willing to be your subordinate and help you make the potion.”

After taking two deep breaths, Rose adjusted her breathing. She said, “I have to apologize to you for what happened yesterday. I rejected your offer, but you changed my mind so quickly! There's one more thing. I hope you won't be angry. My sister accidentally ate the black-and-white bead you gave me yesterday.”

Rose looked apologetic and nervous as she spoke. She was worried that Watson would not agree to her request after hearing that. She was even more worried that Watson would be angry because she had lost a precious potion.

“So, you are Watson. Let me introduce myself. I am Rose's sister, and my name is Stella! Yesterday, I accidentally swallowed your bead. I am really sorry. This is not my sister's fault. If that bead is something very precious to you, I will compensate you, no matter the price. I only hope that you can agree to my sister's request to make the potion with you.”

Stella walked in front of Watson. Suddenly, she knelt on one knee toward Watson. That scene attracted the attention of many people in the surrounding area. They all turned their heads toward Watson and started whispering.

“Isn't that Stella and Rose from the Abedor Family? Why is Stella kneeling toward Watson? Did Watson do something to the Abedor Family?”

The Winter Nation had attacked Rose in the Royal Academy's dining hall, but Watson had saved her. Many people have seen it. After that, Watson even extended an invitation to Rose, but she had rejected him. That made many people suspect that Watson might have become angry out of humiliation and had done something to the Abedor family.

The discussions reached Stella, who was kneeling on the ground. She raised her head and looked around them. “Don't misunderstand. I'm kneeling not because Watson did anything to our Abedor family. On the contrary, Watson is the benefactor of our family! It's because of him that I was able to advance to platinum-tier and become an angel successfully.”

As the sound of her voice faded, six gigantic wings spread out from Stella's back. Pure white feathers encircled her as they slowly descended. The halo that appeared above her head also erupted with a dazzling radiance, making her look incomparably beautiful and filled with a holy aura. The aura of platinum-tier spread out in all directions without holding anything back.

That scene caused many onlookers to be stunned.

“Watson, you gave me this power. From now on, I will work for you until you are satisfied! Of course, if you are still not satisfied with that, you can kill me and take back my power.”

“Sister, what are you talking about? Is it necessary for you to do that? That is different from what we had agreed on!” Rose exclaimed.

Rose Weiser did not understand why her sister did that, but she had told Rose to apologize to Watson. She was also aware of the high value of the potion Watson had created. Apologies were not enough to compensate for losing such a precious thing.

“Watson, a solid-form potion is all it takes to make me this way. If we can mass-produce it, I believe that the number of platinum-tier elites in the Holy Dragon Kingdom will soar! If we have enough time and sufficient raw materials, everyone in the Holy Dragon Kingdom can turn into angels in the future.”

Watson's medicine had such high value. Stella was from a potion-making family, so she knew they could enter a brand new era with Watson's help. The status of the Abedor family would also rise along with the tide. Her sacrifice would not be a loss; it would be a huge profit for everyone.

“Stella's appearance is the same as a legendary angel. Does such a potion exist? Turning a human into an angel and obtaining the strength of a platinum-tier elite? Most importantly, Watson had made that potion.”

Everyone turned their gazes toward Watson. The young man's previous performance in the competition was already very shocking. In addition, he had mastered special magic that could fuse weapons; one would already call him a monster. They did not expect that Watson would also have such profound attainments in the field of potions.

Had they ever had a talent who knew everything in the world?

Many people did not believe it, but they had seen Stella's angelic appearance. The powerful aura of a higher-tier life form pressed on their bodies, making them shudder. They had no choice but to believe it.

Stella was nervous when Watson remained quiet. “Watson, are you still not satisfied with what I've said? As long as you teach the Abedor family the formula for the potion that can turn people into angels, we will support you from here onward. I can also kill myself here. I've only taken the potion for one day, and the power still exists in my blood. If a potion-maker like you can refine the potion from my blood, it won't be too difficult.”

“Sister, that's enough.”

Rose could not take it anymore and said, “Watson, don't blame my sister for what happened yesterday. If you want to blame someone, blame me! If someone has to die, then it should be me.”

“Miss Rose, What are you doing? What is this about committing suicide and dying? I don't have such thoughts,” Watson said slowly, with a strange look on his face.

“Watson, the potion you gave me yesterday is gone now. Aren't you angry?” Stella and Rose looked at each other.

“It's not as serious as you think, Miss Rose. After all, the bead I gave you yesterday is not particularly important to me. It's just a product that I made casually! If it were something important, I would not have given it to you, would I?”

Watson's simple words were undoubtedly shocking to the ears of the people around him.

A potion that could turn a person into an angel in an instant? That should be significant. What was important to Watson then? Watson was deliberately showing off, right?

Stella, who was kneeling on the ground, looked a little lost. She mustered her courage to say that she would commit suicide in front of Watson. Who would have thought that Watson did not care at all about that potion? She was puzzled.

Christina, who was beside Watson, had not said anything. At that moment, she shook her head. Others might have thought that Watson was bluffing if they did not understand him. However, she knew that Watson was not bluffing. Instead, he was being a little modest. After all, Watson could raise a person to the platinum or even stronger tier without relying on potions. What was wrong with using potions to turn a person into an angel?

Why were they so surprised?

“I am happy that Miss Rose is willing to agree to my proposal to make potions with me. However, there is no need to keep saying things like dying! I wish we could make potions and money together, and I don't have any thoughts about killing anyone. Don't say such things in the future. Promise me, Miss Rose.”

Watson revealed a gentle smile and extended his right hand to Rose. “From now on, we are companions.”

At that moment, Watson's smile was as warm as the sun in Rose's eyes, making her excited. She nodded and extended her right hand. “Watson, no, Young Master Watson. From now on, I, Rose Weiser, will be one of your potion-maker. I will follow your orders and work hard to learn from you.”

Their hands met in mid-air; it was the start of a partnership.

“You flatter me. Regarding the recipe for the Blessings of the Gods that I gave you yesterday, I will pass it to you later, Miss Rose! As for Miss Stella, please put away your wings and get up. I didn't create the potion I gave you yesterday. Instead, it was an ancient formula that I accidentally obtained from some ruins. As long as you follow the formula, anyone can refine the potion to turn a person into an angel. Therefore, I'm not necessarily better than you in terms of potions.” Watson shook his head humbly.

There were so many people in the Royal Academy. If he were to announce that he could refine a potion that could turn people into angels, it would definitely reach the ears of King Landhar III. He already had an issue with a potion to increase the dragons' fertility rate. If they knew he had such achievements in potion-making, they would certainly make things difficult for him.

When he gave the bead to Rose Weiser, he wanted to test that girl. He did not expect that someone from the Abedor family would be so bold to swallow something when they did not know what it was.

“I see.” She loosened her grip on Watson's hand. Rose Weiser was a little disappointed. She thought that Watson created the potion, and she believed that Watson had already reached a godly tier in potion-making skills. Her thoughts were dispelled when she heard what Watson said.

“So, it wasn't a potion created by Watson. That scared me.”

“I knew it. How could there be a potion that could turn people into angels in this era? It would be reasonable if it were an ancient potion, but Watson is quite lucky to obtain such a precious potion formula.

The passersby around them also heaved a sigh of relief. Watson had not developed that magical potion, so they had been shocked for nothing. That young man had such a high level in different fields such as cultivation, forging, and potion-making. How could such an all-powerful genius exist in that world?
