The Greatest Assassin Trapped In The Novel World As An Antagonist
159.The Tomb of the Thousand Swords

Ares sat in front of Gerald who was looking at him with a meaningful smile, Ares could only avoid the look in his eyes that looked like a snake ready to pounce on its prey.

"So Ares what about the wounds you've suffered? is it healed?."Gerald asked with a smile.

Ares just frowned"Yes dad. I'm fine now, and now can you tell me what needs make you call me when I'm busy?.""He said with a meaningful smile.

To be honest, Ares is currently very busy, because he has to determine where the World Tree grows and the city he will build later. he was still looking for a strategic place for the world tree to grow and now Ares was looking for such a strategic place.

Although it takes a while as long as the strategic place is not a problem, plus the Dark elves of the Oakheart tribe also do not mind the time the city is built and the world tree grows.

Gerald certainly knows how busy Ares is at the moment but right now he's in a pretty desperate state, Gerald mendehem before speaking"Ares I won't say much, actually in the next month our family will hold a test attended by all branch families, the test is called the Thousand Sword Tomb Test or commonly known as the Tomb of the Thousand Swords. This exam is held regularly for 3 years to make children from branch families able to strengthen their talents, and this time some branch family heads are urging you to take the exam this time."tutur father while looking at Ares seriously.

Ares frowned while looking at his father strangely, he certainly knew the Thousand Sword Tomb Trials that were routinely conducted but the requirement to take the exam made Ares unable to participate.

"My father is a Master, making me take the exam this time is the same as breaking the rules of the Exam.You know a Master cannot take part in the Thousand Sword Tomb exam."He said as he stroked his forehead.

The reason he didn't take the Exam was because he was basically a Master where a master couldn't take the Exam, hence Ares didn't need to take the Exam.

"Dad knows it's hard for you but can you just take the time to take the exam this time? I promise you I'll cover all the construction costs of your city as long as we come."Father assured me.

Ares rubbed his chin, even though he had so many treasures he had to carefully wear all these treasures.and his father's offer looked tempting to him because it could save his expenses.

Ares rubbed his chin"Alright I'll come along, but don't blame me if one of the branch families dies, because I certainly know their true intentions."He was cold and pressed all his words.

The reason they forced Ares to come even in front of Gerald, was because they were curious about the true appearance and power of Ares. among them there must be people who think if the news of Ares killing the Frost King and the Ice Dragon Lord is just a nonsense that was raised to make Ares' name famous and make it easier for him to become the Head of the family.

And many of them can be ascertained Envy with the achievements he achieved so that it was like this.

Gerald let out a long sigh"The president should not hesitate to bring out your full strength later on because it will help you in the future, and neither will I mind if you kill one of them. you're the next head of the family."He shrugged both his shoulders.

"Well, when does the test begin?" asked Ares.

Gerald raised one eyebrow"It seems you didn't listen to my explanation earlier. Another month, the exam will be held in a month."Gerald said with a sigh.

Ares nodded slowly"Alright then, I leave all the preparations to Dad, no problem, right?."

Gerald shook his head, Ares then got up and said", Then I will take the time to take care of all my city building plans later, because I am very busy.then I resign myself."Ares saluted and left from there.

Gerald could only smile bitterly at Ares leaving just like that. He gripped the glass in his hand until it shattered"Bangs**! next time I cut off their heads, because of their request Ares became angry like this, Huh! I'll just kill them next time."Annoyed annoyed.

*****************************

Ares on the other hand made a lot of preparations for the construction of the city later, Ares and all his subordinates surveyed several places or regions that they thought were strategic enough to be a city but needed some more checking to ensure it.

For the material of making the city will be purchased from the best material traders in the kingdom and Gerald himself who ensure the quality of each material purchased. plans for a new major city were widespread throughout the North and quickly spread out of the North.

Plus the fact that the person who made the city is Ares made many people interested in living there, but their hopes were dashed once they knew the City had not been built even it was just a plan, a plan, but most people choose to move to the city that Ares made if the city is really so.

Meanwhile Ares was preoccupied with the Documents coming from his subordinates, which contained about the region or place they were surveying as well as the shortcomings and advantages of that region or place. many according to the place that according to suitable to be built from a city but Ares need to first see the shortcomings and advantages of each region or place ago compared to each other. after that he will grow the World Tree in a designated place or region.

Meetings continue to make the maximum results for the making of the city, the meeting was attended by the Chief of Tribes, the dark elves of the Oakheart tribe with and the Orc mountain tribe of Reibzhane. With Gerald, Catherine and Richard as mediators this time.

After a long meeting over several hours the votes taken were not very satisfactory, as many of them voiced different opinions as the meeting progressed. like Dark elves who want to live in dense forests filled with Trees and houses that come from the trees themselves or Orc mountain who want to live in the High Mountains filled with monsters that make them able to full of eating meat.

Because there are too many differences Ares ended the meeting this time by being forced because the situation there was already heated.

Even so Ares and his subordinates did not give up on it, they became even more excited about finding territories and places to live in many races other than humans, instead of humans, although because of that the process becomes more complicated but as long as it satisfies Ares does not mind at all.

*****************************

Not feeling so fast that the time passed until finally a month did not feel missed, Ares did not even realize it because it was too busy with the World Tree and City Development plan.

Ares breathed in the fresh air produced from the trees and the morning air was so refreshing, the Sun had not yet appeared but Ares, Gerald, Catherine and Richard were already preparing to set off for the Thousand Sword Graveyard Examination Pass, accompanied by the Elite Knights of their Heavenly Dragon Division preparing to depart.

"Woahhhh.I didn't know we had a Magic Train as big and luxurious as this."He said as he looked at the Magic Train in front of him with admiration.

With a height of almost three meters and a length of ten meters with black and gold colors and carvings on each side makes this magic train look so luxurious and beautiful.

Richard who was beside him snorted happily"This Magic Train has been around for a long time and there are dozens of them, but this magic train is only used at certain events because the operational costs are large enough for each trip. but since we are indeed basically a very rich family it is not a problem to use this magic carriage for daily travel, but because of its wide and wide-ranging magic train carriages, this magic train was so rarely used."Richard said proudly.

Ares only looked with amazed eyes while nodding"What are the facilities of grandfather? does this magic train have its own special features?."He said curiously.looking from his own magic carriage there is no way this thing does not have any specialties.

Richard rubbed his chin as he said"For his specialty, this object can go as fast as the wind and can reduce the impact or vibration on the road that is not flat and can accommodate dozens of people and seats in it can be changed as needed, as needed, plus this thing is protected by various kinds of defensive Magic that can protect the people inside from Mid Tier Magic and can counterattack if attacked."He said with pride.

Ares clapped his hands at the speciality of the objects in front of him, saw the speciality that can hold Mid Tier Magic and can fight back making this Object more like a flying Tank than a Magic Train.

"What are you waiting for?."Gerald came from behind accompanied by Lissa, Irine and Catherine who held Aisyah and Max in both arms.

Ares reflexively approached immediately while Richard responded to Gerald's question.

"We wait for your arrival, for you have come let's go."His words then entered the magic train one by one.

Because Aisyah and Max were sleeping they were put in a baby bed that was installed long ago and they set off followed by other magic trains that flew and followed them from behind.

Ares just smiled looking at the view of the Rising Sun on the side of his window.

"Hm...The Thousand Sword Tomb exam, yes, I became curious as to what I would face later."He muttered while smiling.
