Sword God in a World of Magic

Chapter 696

It wasn't completely as Shang expected, but it had been one of the options.

A Thunder.

Someone that controlled 10% of one Department.

Someone that directly worked beneath a Mage King.

Shang knew that he couldn't possibly ask to meet a Mage King, which meant that a Thunder was his next best option.

"Is that enough for you?" Lucin asked with a slight chuckle.

Shang remained silent for a while.

Based on Lucin's Aura, Shang believed that Lucin truly was a Thunder.

Shang had seen a couple of people working for an Empire before, and none of them had even come close to the grandness of Lucin's Aura.

A Thunder was probably the very person that people on Shang's level were raised to be since there could only be one true King Contender.

"You are planning on accepting me into the Lightning Manor, correct?" Shang asked.

"Of course," Lucin said with a chuckle.

"Then, there's no reason to kill me, correct?" Shang asked.

"As long as you don't actively go against the Lightning Manor, no," Lucin confirmed. "You're quite paranoid. You must really think that your secret is extremely important," he added with some humor.

Shang took a deep breath.

It was difficult to make Shang nervous, but not impossible.

At the moment, Shang was readying himself to do something he hated.

He was about to put his trust in someone more powerful than him.

Shang wanted to get the best kind of nurturing possible from the Lightning Manor, and for that, he needed to unveil a lot of his secrets, especially the true extent of his power.

If he kept all of that secret, Shang would most likely get fewer resources than everyone else, just based on the fact that he was a warrior and not a Mage.

From what Shang had guessed, the Lightning Manor was probably only putting Shang into this Department for show.

He was more of an oddity to them.

They probably didn't expect Shang to ever reach the power of a Thunder in the future.

They would give him more resources than a Boltling, which was why they were putting Shang into Lucin's Unit, but they probably wouldn't grant him the full benefits that someone from Lucin's Unit would receive.

That was why Shang was essentially forced to hand his life over again.
