So many resources, not using them would be a waste.
After a long and thorough conversation with Molly, Rod successfully entrusted her with the task of recruitment.
However, the usually astute and capable Molly seemed somewhat absent-minded at the moment.
"Master..."
"Just call me Rod..." Rod felt it was a bit strange for someone outside the Dream Realm to address him as master, except in certain special scenarios.
Molly paused for a moment, her delicate face still maintaining that serious and earnest expression. She was always like this; even in the most intense moments, she showed little change.
Rod used to find this a bit uncomfortable, but now, putting gold-rimmed glasses on her added a certain allure.
"You should find an appropriate partner and become an eternal companion under the Fire's vow."
Rod was taken aback for a second before realizing she was urging him to get married.
"Pfft, Molly, isn't now a bit premature? Once the Source Prophecy concludes, we'll be facing significant changes..."
Molly adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and said seriously, "No, now is precisely the right time... Ah, don't move, what I mean is, you could become the next king of Trolian, or its de facto ruler."
Rod widened his eyes, struggling to grasp her words.
"Why are you suddenly saying these things? I don't want to be king; I don't have the confidence to do better than the King. The current structure is the best..."
"Indeed."
Molly replied softly.
"Nothing is better than the present, but what if an unexpected event arises?"
Rod adamantly denied, "Impossible, why would you think that? You have no idea of the King's strength; they are the strongest human I've ever seen, stronger even than monsters who are no match for our King."
"But I've heard that the King's prophecy harbors a great crisis."
Rod scoffed, "Prophecies aren't always accurate, errors are plentiful; even if correct, we might misunderstand them, and even if understood correctly, it doesn't mean this crisis can threaten the King..."
"No."
This time, the usually compliant Molly outright disagreed with Rod's opinion.
"We cannot dismiss problems through luck; if the King encounters an accident, I believe you are the most suitable successor, so you should quickly unite with Ms. Qingyu. This way, you'll have both the King Candidate's and the Aligali family's support."
"Even if the King remains unscathed, you should establish your own power to strengthen your wings, ensuring we are not swayed by worms and Doomsday believers, so the Kingdom continuously follows the right path."
There was some validity to Molly's words, Rod contemplated and asked, "But the premise is Qingyu is willing; what if she's not?"
Molly softly replied, "She is willing; it's her suggestion. You will become her only king husband."
Rod was suddenly at a loss; he never expected the development of this matter to be so rapid, making him momentarily unable to think straight.
"But, but..."
He tried to argue.
"That's an extreme improbability, I..."
Molly looked at him seriously, speaking each word deliberately, "I also trust the King, but you know, even without the Holy Fire's blessing, the King is Trolian's top strongman."
"If you can help Qingyu become a Holy Fire resonator, then the King would no longer be bound by the Holy Fire... This way, Trolian would gain another super strong fighter, greatly benefiting our future."
These words moved Rod deeply, and the prospects described made his blood surge.
But once somewhat calmed, Rod identified the crux.
"Help Qingyu become a Holy Fire resonator?"
Rod frowned.
"How can I help? Qingyu surely lacks no resources; engaging in Eternal Burning Fire quantification and mastering Eternal Burning Fire's Source Law shouldn't be something outsiders can interfere with, right?"
