Chapter 342 Arthas: I am the Emperor's
He wanted to drool and his eyes wanted to turn into hearts, but his own cultivation said he couldn't do that. Arthas was really... too satisfied with this parchment contract that he checked over and over again!
After finishing his studies in his previous life, he finally touched the words "hard work is useful" again with his own hands. He couldn't help but burst into tears and loudly vent out the frustration of two lifetimes.
Whether workers work overtime voluntarily or involuntarily, they will receive generous overtime pay, and the salary and benefits are far beyond expectations, and there is no such thing as a kidney-kidnapping scam.
What is paid vacation? Is that something I, a useless person, could have had the chance to experience in my previous life? It is absolutely impossible. Among the millions of people who are destined to be successful, only a few can stand out.
……
In front of the great Emperor Denathrius, Arthas tried his best to show his calmness and composure, and his side that was not shaken by external things, and spontaneously entered this state.
Taking a deep breath, Arthas closed his eyes and said, "Emperor, is everything above true?"
"Of course, Knight. The contents of the contract between us cannot be false. I am the Eternal One."
Denathrius produced a wine glass filled with purple-red wine out of thin air and placed it in front of Arthas, leaving it floating in the air.
Quickly signing his name, Arthas took the wine glass, sniffed the aroma of the wine and said, "Emperor, what is the name of this wine?"
"It has no name, Arthas Menethil."
"I hope you can be my confidant, but I don't want you to be just my confidant."
In the blink of an eye, Denathrius took out the same glass of wine and clinked it with the glass in Arthas's hand.
After drinking a glass with the emperor, Alsaston felt his mind clear. He drank the grape-flavored red wine in one gulp, which was in stark contrast to Emperor Denathrius who took a sip and savored it carefully.
"A wine without a name... maybe you can give it a temporary name."
"But before that, Knight Arthas Menethil, would you like to become a baron?"
Holding the empty wine glass, Arthas said, "Emperor, I am willing. Please give me your instructions."
At this time, combining the memories of two lifetimes, Arthas' heart moved, and he typed a series of information in his personal memory log.
[There is a slight difference in the classification of nobility]
[Western nobility: king, duke, marquis, earl, viscount, baron, knight.]
〖Alliance nobility: king, lord, duke, earl, lord, baron, knight.
If one has a higher status than the other, a capital character can be added in front of the title, for example, Grand Duke Bolvar.
When a woman holds the title, the word "female" can be added when addressing her, for example, Countess Katrina.
Anyone with a title can be called Sir, for example, Sir Turalyon, which are all honorific titles.
Knights are not considered true nobles, only barons are. There are also differences among commoners, and different classes are spontaneously established.
Taking another sip of wine, Denathrius said to Arthas in his eager eyes: "No instructions, I am just standing from your perspective and doing this for your own good."
"Well, before we move on to the next topic, it's your turn to come up with a name, Honorary Knight."
Revealing his true nature, Arthas said with a comfortable look on his face: "Emperor, I would like to call this nameless wine the Eternal Emperor's Heart."
"It symbolizes your great spirit as vast as the universe. You even forgave me for my offenses many times."
"You are the Eternal One, the Eternal One in the universe. Nothing can affect you. Your power is eternal."
"And you are not only a ruler, but also a peaceful emperor. Talking to you, I feel as if..."
"Accidentally" looking up and seeing Denathrius, Arthas' body suddenly trembled and he stopped talking about this topic.
Picking up the signed contract, Arthas said, "As your honorary knight, I am deeply humbled to be able to serve you."
Hearing this, Denathrius drank the Eternal Emperor in one gulp and said, "You don't have the fear of a normal knight. You look at everyone equally."
"I guess you think you are no weaker than me."
"Your spirit can be called the heart of a great emperor, which is enough to support you to move forward."
After praising Arthas, Denathrius casually waved his hand, causing a bottle of wine to suddenly appear and refill both parties with red wine.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Arthas, who still had evil intentions, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists respectfully and said: "If the emperor does not forsake me, I, Arthas Menethil, will be your lord from now on."
"As long as your request does not exceed my bottom line, I am willing to let you drive me."
"If the emperor is worried about me, then I am willing to be here today and immediately worship you as..."
For some reason, Denathrius always felt something was wrong when he heard these words.
It's not impossible to have more sons, but Denathrius thinks that...
So he quickly helped Arthas up and said, "Future Emperor, how can you be so pretentious?"
Without waiting for Arthas to shed tears, Denathrius said: "I see that you have the qualities of an emperor. You deserve to be called an emperor with me."
"Arthas Menethil, the future Lich King, you have failed me."
Hearing this, Arthas couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his armored back and was shocked.
Climbing up the pole, I first saw Sire Denathrius like you.
You are in my heart... I wanted to recognize you as my father and climb up the ladder, but you actually recognized me as a brother of equal status.
Based on your flexible moral compass, I think...
The next second, Arthas said in a deep voice: "Emperor, the difference in status cannot be crossed. Excuse me, I have crossed the line."
Helping up the loyal knight, Denathrius said: "You have not overstepped your bounds. This is my permission, the honorary knight of Revendreth."
"I... don't want to chat any more, Honorary Knight. Isn't it time for you to leave?"
With his chest puffed out, Arthas saluted Denathrius and said, "Emperor, for your long-cherished wish."
"I will fulfill my mission and fight to the death... I will fight only for Emperor Denathrius!"
After finishing a large bottle of free wine, Arthas clasped his hands together again, his face serious and solemn, without any blush from the alcohol.
The Emperor's wine that increases spiritual power... a low-proof grape rice wine?!
Sweet and sweet, the unqualified old drunkard Alsace has no other taste at all.
He bowed again and said, "Emperor, so that I can better complete your mission."
Without further ado, Denathrius produced another bottle of wine and held up a sign, the last bottle.
After drinking the second bottle of wine in gulps, Arthas took the floating wine glass with one hand and finished his, leaving only a glass of wine for the emperor.
After drinking the free gift from the emperor, Arthas said, "Emperor, are there really some prices that cannot be changed?"
With a warm smile, Denathrius said, "Knight Arthas, there are some rules that even I cannot change by force."
"If you want me to show up and take action, then taking back my power is an essential step. This is unavoidable."
"Otherwise, with your current Holy Light power, you can only repay it by serving in Revendreth for 500 years, which is comparable to an ordinary blow from a demigod."
"But how can the Burning Legion that you are worried about be destroyed by a casual blow from a demigod?"
"So, if you want to reduce the cost, you can only succeed by increasing your power of death or improving yourself in all aspects."
After slowly finishing the remaining glass of wine, Denathrius said, "There is no side effect of forgetting memories, no side effect of transforming the body, no side effect of affecting the mind, no side effect of being controlled by others, and no side effect of falling into a trap."
"Many... There is no side effect of eternal imprisonment, and there is no side effect of sinking into sin."
"It's just that there is no side effect of some merchants benefiting from it, which stems from the rules of the operation of the Shadow Realm."
"The rules that the Eternals make for each other, the restrictions we impose on ourselves and on all the dead, are what make this place no different from the mortal world."
"Arthas Menethil, I have high hopes for you, which is why I have always followed your wishes and told you so many secrets."
Opening the door ahead of time to send the Honor Knight away, Denathrius said, "I don't want to inquire or know your secrets, mortal."
"I have reached the end of the Eternal. I have also seen a little of some secrets. You are just a leaf between heaven and earth."
“Even if there are leaves that look just like you, and I can glimpse a little bit of you, you are still you, and I am still me.”
At this moment, the parchment suddenly showed the name of Emperor Denathrius, flashing red light.
In just a moment, the contract between the Emperor and the Knight flew into Arthas' heart and became one with him.
Feeling the changes, Arthas' eyes dimmed, he no longer had the arrogance he had before, and his spirit declined.
Just because of one thing, the contract did not become his power, but was absorbed by his personal panel (system/gold finger) and became a new independent gold and red panel.
〖Systematized parchment contents (temporarily included)〗
[Arthas Menethil (meaning "fence-sitter" in some languages)]
[Status: Temporary Honorary Knight of Revendreth (temporary noble who is not a noble)]

You can talk to Emperor Denathrius (Original Realm) through appropriate means and at the appropriate time. The Emperor will not receive any communication at other times. 】
[2: The Great Emperor’s Dominant Power
Whatever power you want, you have to pay the corresponding price, but some prices cannot be forgiven no matter how good the emperor's mood is at the time, or how good your relationship with the emperor is. 】
[Three: The Knight's Path to Promotion]
[Reaper: Starting as one of the seven deadly sins, it will eventually become the Court of Reapers, one of the seven reapers.

[Nathrezim (Dreadlord): Wisdom is not enough, you need wit. 】
[Lich King (naming rights): If one day you become a true demigod, or a demigod warrior who can fight on par with a true demigod, you can discuss this with the Emperor, or make your own decision.]
After a few seconds of quick reading, Arthas looked up in horror and looked at Emperor Denathrius.
Seeing Arthas's frustrated look, Denathrius said, "Don't worry, I have no idea what you have in mind."
