You were made to farm, and now you're the emperor of an empire?

Chapter 153 The Fifth Recruitment

"So you're scared?"

She hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

She was afraid of bringing him bad luck; she loved this man so much and didn't want to see him suffer from misfortune.

Otherwise, how will she face him in the future?
She had no face to stay here, so she fled to the deep mountains, to the far reaches of the world, to let the mountains collect her remains. Loneliness was the fate she deserved.

But humans can't understand each other, and Roman felt an urge to punch her.

This is a form of weakness, an act of escapism.

Roman didn't like that.

Anyone can be weak and can run away.

His apostles alone could not do it.

He was convinced that she would become his helper. How could a weak apostle face the storms to come?

Roman thought about it for a long time. He had ignored Gweil's thoughts in the past, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to them now.

So he said, "Do you want things to continue like this?"

The words sounded familiar. Gweil observed Roman's expression and found that he was indifferent, but she also inexplicably saw some sullen dissatisfaction in him.

The hidden expression wasn't obvious; she felt she had misread it.

Roman's attitude towards her was always warm and welcoming.

She just wants to maintain the status quo.

She was born in the Year of the Rabbit, so she's not easily angered or aggressive. She's also a bit like a deer, becoming timid and fearful after experiencing setbacks.

Roman guessed what she was thinking: being content with the status quo is something most people crave.

But the peace and tranquility are directly proportional to the burdens and hardships we bear.

They are all suffering, they are all enduring hardship, they are all waiting for his rule. What right do you have to enjoy this peaceful life?
Believe it or not, I'll slap you twice.
Therefore, his words were somewhat harsh.

“Gerva, you can’t expect to get away with everything by hiding your head in the sand!”
"If you refuse to face it, how can you bear the pain of loss in the future? Once you lose it, it will tear your heart apart, destroy your mind, and turn you into a slave to fate."

"There are no slaves in the land I rule. If you dare to become a slave, I will expel you. Do not doubt my resolve!"
"You must face it, resist it, and finally defeat it!"

He spoke these words in a tone that Gweill had never heard before, and his words were far from empty talk.

She could tell from his face, which looked like a completely different person, that he was telling the truth.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying…” Gweil said dejectedly.

My cultural knowledge is limited; I don't even know all the words, so I can't understand what Roman is saying. I just feel that it's very profound.

Roman said, "If I hadn't brought Sanna back, and she had died because of it, how would you face Kao?"

This question strikes at the heart.

Gweil fell silent as a result.

If Sanna dies, she will never make friends again in her life, and will grieve alone, becoming even more resistant to that force.

"Unleash your power, don't suppress it, it's your destiny, you must tread on it! Tame it! Restrain it with your will!"

"You must not waver, and you shouldn't waver!"
"You should remember this—I'm standing right behind you, and if your fate dares to turn against you, I'll give it a good punch!"

Roman shook his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, at Gweil.

He almost lost control and shoved it into Gweil's face.

She flinched slightly, remembering the rumor that Roman could kick someone to death, and began to believe him.

There's really nothing to be afraid of, since there's someone backing us up anyway.

She thought she could stay safe by hiding, but she almost killed Sanna. She couldn't hide anymore, so she had to stick her head out.

"Go check on Sanna, her foot injury hasn't fully healed yet..."

He watched as Gweil left his side and headed towards the door, then asked anxiously, "Gweil, will you answer my call?"

Gweil was puzzled and turned to look at Roman, only to see him looking serious. She gave a soft "hmm".

"I'll be standing right behind you," he said, still somewhat uneasy.

He only let Gweil go after she nodded repeatedly.

……

Roman sat in the hall for a long time, then stood up and paced back and forth, feeling uneasy.

He waited a long time. Finally, he made up his mind!

Ten draws in a row!
brush!
Ripples spread across the pool, and ten faint lights seemed to escape from the mist, rushing upwards and growing brighter and brighter. Roman's eyes widened!
His gaze was vacant, because one of the bursts of color was so intense that it completely obscured the other colors.

This is a sight that has never been seen before.

It's not white, not blue, and not purple...

It was a dazzling gold!

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Golden legend!

Roman couldn't contain his excitement and threw a powerful victory punch into the air!
Shipped!
But the next moment, as the golden light gradually faded, the card's original form was revealed.

Roman was dumbfounded.

It was a scene of a tanned, fit girl strolling freely on the beach.

……

Five-Star Sanna (can be given an Apostle codename)
Attack: E, Defense: E, Speed: E, Constitution: E, Energy: D+
Talent: Stand Out - Comprehensive Enhancement of Physical Attributes
First skill: Awaken the Five Senses - Enhance all senses

Second Skill: Focused Enhancement - Significantly enhances a specific physical ability.

……

Roman suffered cardiac arrest, had difficulty breathing, and leaned back tactically.

I didn't understand it, but I was deeply moved.

Good news! The first five-star apostle is a golden legend!

The bad news isn't about Gavier!
Roman has a strange feeling about a wedding night, like a wrong bride!

Unfortunately, both of them were wearing bright red wedding dresses, phoenix crowns, and face coverings.

Can't tell the difference!
I really can't tell the difference!

Could this five-star character actually be Gavial? Is Sanna a fake? Did she never exist in the first place?
Roman really couldn't understand why Sanna was a five-star!
She's a five-star?!
How could she be a five-star?!

Roman almost coughed up blood; he felt like a pauper had unearthed a piece of gold from his own home.

But what about Gweil, whom he longs for?
Immediately afterwards——

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Another burst of golden light nearly blinded Roman.

……

【Five-Star Gevel (Can be given an Apostle codename)】

Attack: E-, Defense: E-, Speed: E, Constitution: E, Energy: D++ (C-)

Talent: Hand of Fate – The power to manipulate destiny to an extreme degree
First skill: Turning misfortune into good fortune – transforming luck and bad luck.

Second Skill: Terrifying Curse - Curses arise from the heart.

……

"..."

Well, I was too emotional just now, but I'm not so excited now.

Roman's mood was strange.

He longs for a high-ranking apostle...

But he didn't expect to get two five-star apostles in ten consecutive runs—he was even mentally prepared for Gavial's ship to sink.

The reality far exceeded expectations.

This is a good thing, and a good omen!
Roman thought to himself.

He calmed down.

With so many residents in Sig Town now, it's only natural that someone will surprise him.

He waited for Gweil for a whole year, and shipping her was inevitable.

Sanna, on the other hand, was a pure surprise.

"Those brother and sister are truly gifted!" Roman thought to himself.

He thought Kao was invincible, but he never expected his sister to be even more valiant than him.

Coincidentally, both of them were his subordinates!

This is so exciting!!
