Level Infinity Weakest King

Immediately after he said this he returned to his initial position and went back to a place which he was given by the people of beggars alley.

He rested and waited for next day.

"I'm coming... just 2 more days..."

Soon 2 days had passed in a blink of an eye and Rex left as early as he could after informing them about the remaining work.

All the people who were supposedly called the beggars were now looked upon as commoners. There was an improvement in their status.

Though this looked like a small step, it would bring big wonders to the kingdom which no one could have anticipated.

Rex had immeditely departed in order to meet Alex. It would not take more than a few hours for him to reach the heart of the kingdom, which had its name after the kingdom's name itself - RHINE.

Rhine was a prosperous city which was in fact the capital city of the kingdom of Rhone. The main castle and all of the imperial wealth was indeed located at this city.

It wasn't too far from the border areas so it wasn't much a problem. Rex decided to finally go home and rest and look at their family for some time.

He had completely sealed off his powers. It had been more than ten years since he last saw his status which was showing 'INFINITY' initially.

All he did was train with a normal body and gained power that was more than enough to rival the past CHRONOS.

While he was on his way he arrived at a city which was somewhat prosperous and in terms of peace could be easily comparable with Rhine.

There were many religious believers at that place and the largest church of the kingdom was located at that place.

Rex got down of the wagon and marched towards the area to take a look at the place. His heart was thrilled when he saw people smiling and living happily.

"Isn't this place wonderful Bandis?"

Bandis immediately answered with an Yes. They continued to look at the city a bit more. It was too eye catching for him since after a long time he had seen something that was so good.

"Haha, looks like you all are travelers...", an old man from a fruit shop looked at Rex and told this.

"Yes, you can say that...", Rex immediately replied with a smile.

The old man offered some native apples which were quite juicy and spectacular.

"Woah! Amazing! The taste is so awesome...!!"

The great Zormugand couldn't contain himself after having a single bite. He started to eat the whole apples available which shocked the old man quite a bit.

All his stocks of apples were vanished in a blink of an eye.

"Haha, sorry about that, he liked your fruits a lot so he ate everything! I will pay for it..."

The old man nodded his head while having the surprised expression all over his face.

"So how much is it?"

The old man thought for a bit and immeditely said, "Just 10 silvers is fine..."

Rex analyses the actual cost of all the fruits Zormugand ate. It was no more than 9 silvers and 50 coppers so 10 silvers was a reasonable amount when the old man's labour was also considered.

"Here you go.", while saying this, Rex handed out a gold coin to the old man.

The old man immediately got nervous and said, "T-this? This is too much! I can't accept it..."

But Rex didn't want to take it back. Both of them argued for no more than 2 minutes after which the old man accepted the coin even though he was a bit hesitant.

However he said something in return for the extra money.

"It would feel as if I am robbing you... so in return for the gold coin I'll guide you to a place where you can pray for good luck..."

Rex was also intruguied by the people's belief's so he immeditely followed the old man.

While they were walking the old man introduced himself.

"I'm Izaru Gorai, I'm just an ordinary fruit seller..."

Rex felt that the name was somewhat familiar but he wasn't able to tell the reason for that.

He didn't bother about thinking for too long and accompanied him even further.

"This is the place that I wanted to show you... if you pray here all your sins will be washed!"

Rex came forward and stood upright. He immediately looked towards the statue which was completely white. For some reason even that statue seemed to be somewhat familiar for him.

"Where have I seen this before...?"

Bandis and Zor were completely shocked when they saw the statue. They couldn't even speak anything properly.

"Oh! You might have seen this statue in the church too... this is the statue of one of the 12 great companions of the legendary hero... Izard Gorai!"

"Huh...?"

"..."

It was complete silence for a few moments and then suddenly Rex shouted out of the blue.

"IZARD GORAI!!!!!!????"

It was too sudden which made the old man Panick. He calmed down after a minute but after looking at Rex he was confused.

"Are you perhaps familiar with that name...?"

Rex answered immeditely, "He is my friend..."

"Oh, looks like some people have kept the guardian's name as their own name too..."

That was what Rex not trying to say. What he really wanted to convey was that the man in the statue was someone whom Rex knew very well.

He indeed was a companion of his who was an NPC in the game when he played. Though he didn't play a bigger role, he always emerged victorious in battles.

Rex was so tired by always winning the game and battles that he had decided to change his way of playing a bit and that was the time when he met Izard who was actually a farmer.

Rex trained him and turned him into one of his own generals!

Bandis and Zormugand also suffered the same shock as that of Rex. Never in their wildest dreams could they have imagined that they would see Izard's statue here.

Rex now understood why he felt that the old man's name was familiar. He immediately asked, "You too have Gorai as your family name... does that mean..."

The old man immeditely grinned and said, "I don't want to brag but yes! I am the direct descendant of IZARD GORAI... he was my great... great... great GRANDFATHER!"

"..."

"Wow... that's awesome..."

Rex was told many things by his 13 masters who taught him during his training but they never told anything in detail about the legendary hero and his 12 companions.

However Rex found a familiarity between them. There were totally 13 masters, and if the legendary hero was to be included then there would 13 on this side too.

"Is this a coincidence...?", Rex thought for sometime.

Then he immediately started to move back to the wagon.

"Huh..? That man left without praying?", the old man looked at Rex's back as he left and then he immediately looked at the statue again.

"Sigh, I guess some people don't believe that you can give them great luck..."

Rex immediately sat in the wagon and departed right away towards Rhine which was just three cities ahead.

Bandis and Zormugand were confused and worried at Rex's expression which was stiff all the time. He was thinking really hard about the changes that had occurred.

"I want to know more about the legendary hero and his 12 companions' tales...", he said it out subconsciously.

Bandis was confused when he said that so he immeditely asked, "Master, why would you try to know about your own tales?"

Rex replied immediately saying, "I know what I did... but I'm not sure how it was interpreted by the people..."

The one who was driven the wagon heard them and thought that they might have been a bunch of lunatics but he himself was a fan of Chronos, the legendary hero, so he immeditely said, "If you want to know more about them then it would be better if you visit the Royal Library... though it will be difficult for you to enter since only royals are allowed there..."

Rex heard it and immeditely asked the driver to turn the wagon towards the library before he could go to Rhine since the library was just before the castle.

It would save him the time and cost of coming back again.

"Didn't you hear? I said you won't be allowed unless you are royalty!"

Bandis immediately let out a tiny bit of killing intent and said, "Just do what Master has asked you to do..."

The man was suddenly frightened and replied instantly, "Y-yes! I will take you to the Royal Library!"

And after saying this he drove the wagon at a much faster rate towards the library.

"Finally, I think I will be able to know how all the 12 companions of mine lived, fought and died..."
