Lord Protector Novel

The woman only felt the weight lifted off of her shoulders after running off into the distance.

Upon escaping, she muttered under her breath, “Ha! What a headstrong brat. Let's see how long he can maintain that behavior. Since he's only just arrived, he's still adapting to the environment. In two days' time, he'll be yearning for me!”

Hawkeye and Megahead smiled mischievously and exchanged glances. What a surprise! This man helped the woman for the sake of the unborn baby in her belly instead of her body. There aren't many kind souls like him left on Theos Island because most of them are already dead. This young man surely won't last long. On Theos Island, compassion for others means being cruel to yourself.

Zeke then turned to look at Megahead. “I would like to meet Theos. What do I need to do?”

Megahead was amused. You want to see Theos? You should consider yourself lucky if you can stay alive for a month. You must be dreaming!

Despite what was going on in his mind, Megahead answered, “If you want to see Theos, you have to become a Camp Master.”

“Hahaha!”

The crowd burst out laughing.

Everyone knew Megahead was making fun of Zeke.

There were only two Camp Masters on Theos Island, and no one had ever challenged their status in decades.

Needless to say, everyone thought it was a joke to suggest that Zeke could challenge those two Camp Masters.

“What's a Camp Master?” Zeke asked.

“Haven't Hawkeye filled you in on that? Theos Island is divided into two factions, namely the southern faction and the northern faction. We belong to the southern faction, and the leader of the southern faction is the Camp Master of Camp South. Meanwhile, the leader of the northern faction is the Camp Master of Camp North,” Megahead explained.

Zeke finally had a grasp on the situation. “How do I become a Camp Master?”

Megahead couldn't hold it in anymore. He ended up laughing out loud before saying, “Are you serious, young man? Do you really want to be a Camp Master?”

“Why can't I?” Zeke queried.

“You surely can! If you want to be a Camp Master, you need to replace me as a Decanus. After that, you'll need to become a Centurion and a Legatus before becoming a Camp Master,” Megahead revealed.

“Oh. How do I rank up, then?” Zeke asked.

“What do you think? You'll need to accumulate spiritual water, of course. The more spiritual water you have, the higher your rank,” Megahead answered.

“May I know how much spiritual water I need in order to replace you?” Zeke asked.

“You'll need twenty drops of spiritual water,” Megahead answered.

Zeke nodded in response.

Megahead then added, “Young man, it's not easy to accumulate twenty drops of spiritual water. Some people can't even get their hands on ten drops of spiritual water after spending their whole lives on Theos Island. Do you think Phagos relied on his own capability to gather two drops of spiritual water in a day? Ha! I'm sure this fellow had murdered people and robbed their spiritual water. Isn't that right, Phagos?”

Phagos' face went pale. Although he was embarrassed, he put on a tough front and retorted, “Megahead, please stop making fun of me. I relied on my own capability.”
