Chapter 493: Blind



"Hui, who is in charge of running the headquarters right now?" Robin shouted right after he walked out of the wrecked tent

*swoosh* A few seconds later a woman who looked to be in her thirties with black hair, wearing glasses, cradling a thick bundle of paper and metal tablets came in, "You Excellency, Emily at your command, shall we start repairing and cleaning the imperial tent now?"

Robin nodded toward the newcomer, This wasn't the first time he'd seen her. After all the great generals left for the war, management of the hill was handed over to a few trusted individuals at the top of Saghood, each of them would be given the opportunity to fully manage the hill, logistics, the space portal movements, and communication system for one week. This is in order to select the best administration talents and appoint them to fixed positions later... And this Emily Trent is considered one of the best 3 individuals in this regard until this moment.

Robin nodded affirmative, then stood aside and stood watching Emily giving dozens of orders in one minute, suddenly the quiet surroundings of the tent turned into what looked like an ant colony with a large number of blacksmiths!

Robin even opened his eyes a little when he saw the Rune Masters carrying ink barrels and heading toward the tent, so he looked from the corner of his eye at Emily, "Is this really necessary? The tent only needs a few light repairs..."

Emily turned towards Robin and gave a small nod while adjusting the position of her glasses in a gentle way, "Today I allowed a mouse to emerge from under the ground to harass your Excellency. I have to prevent such a phenomenon in the future."

"Hoffenheim knows this area as the back of his hand, and he studied the Soul Domain until he mastered everything possible at his level. His appearance like this did not surprise me at all. Secondly, the embodiment had no power. He could have spoken to me through the soul directly, but perhaps he wanted to confront me and We're talking about such important things, so you don't have to blame yourself for that." Robin shook his head, "And what exactly are the Rune  Masters going to do? I created the Underground Attack Protection Array earlier and they drew it on the mound already, what more are they going to do?"

"They will draw it again in a smaller size under the tent, and maybe draw it a third or fourth time! If one is weak, we have to strengthen it until it is impervious." Emily put her hand on her chest and spoke quickly, then looked towards the tent and shouted, "Isn't it, guys?"

"HOOOH!!" The workers all cheered back and then returned to work quickly, knowing that their time was short before the emperor would want to return to his tent again to continue his seclusion.

Robin shook his head with a smile as he saw the scene, but he suddenly felt a flashing alarm in his mind…

*Wait... It's been 4 years since we came here and I created the Earth Protection Array, and why did I assume that they didn't invent a new one? And it turns out I was right?! No, I can't just focus on the four years, it's been dozens of years since I taught the first batch of Rune Masters about talismans drawing, yet I'm sure none of them have invented anything new yet...*

Robin started to frown... But isn't that normal? Since he is the only one who sees the patterns in the Heavenly Laws, he is the only one who can make the Runes that in the form of talismans, arrays, and even divine tattoos, the rest can only learn to imitate him, the most they can do is try to rip a few Runes out of the talisman to see how it works without it, or perhaps combining two Runes to try what will happen... 

This method can, in trial and error, make variables close to the original after many years, for example, by making a talisman that ignites only instead of exploding like Rubin's Fire Explosion talisman. As for making complex arrays in this way, it requires hundreds of years, and for finding out completely new Runes it is basically impossible.

But doesn't this also mean that the Rune Masters system is entirely dependent on Him? They are like parrots that can do nothing but imitate. What will happen to this task if he dies or decides to go for a long seclusion? Or if he simply gets too busy with other things and doesn't have time to make new designs? The strength of the True Beginning Empire revolves around innovations, talismans, and even divine equipment, all of which have Runes in their core. How long can one person support the needs of an entire empire and billions of beings?

Robin raised his hand and started massaging his head vigorously... The number of existential problems running through his head suddenly increased by one.

Seeing him rub his head like this, Emily was worried and took a step forward nervously, "Please don't worry Your Excellency, everything will be over in a few minutes and your tent will be better than before!"

"Huh? No no, that's not what I'm thinking… Never mind." Robin gestured with his left hand, "I want you to send a message through the Sound Ring to all the generals and tell them to proceed very carefully from now on and start preparing for something that will happen a week from now, something to do with forces called the Wizards, tell them to be careful and do what they can to counter the attack, but they have to put the safety of the soldiers first and full back if they can't win… Oh, also tell them to bring me all the information they have gathered about those Wizards."

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will immediately send the alert to the Intelligence Department, and they will inform the generals and start preparing for the worst." Emily inserted her spiritual sense into one of the rings in her hand, then returned to speak to Robin after about a minute, "Done. As for the request for information, there is no need for this, here at the Headquarters we have copies of all the information that any general or any soldier found, As valuable information is rewarded with points so no one tries to hide them."

"points?" Robin raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't follow what was going on around him for the past years

"Ah! Haven't we notified your Excellency about the point system yet?! I'm so sorry, you never asked about the situation, so we didn't want to stuff useless things into your valuable head.." Emily got very worried and started wiping a few drops of sweat on her forehead.

Robin motioned her to calm down, "I don't blame you, it's my fault that I've been busy with other things, but apparently I'll have to cut my seclusion for now, at least until this week is over... Just tell me now what exactly is that point system?"

A small smile appeared on Emily's face, she seemed to be glad that her conversation with the Emperor would develop, so she made a slight movement to adjust her glasses and spoke quickly, "On the day of the declaration of war, Your Excellency asked to calculate the soldiers' contributions but you didn't say how to do it, so the generals intended to use the write of valuable contributions each soldier has made and used that in promotions or exchange for gold, as happens throughout our history, but His Highness Jabba recommended that the calculation be done in the form of points and that those points be used in ----" Then Emily continued, explaining all the stages of development that the points system went through in detail until reached its current state

"...Jabba again?" Robin raised his head to the sky and sighed, "...His keen insight sometimes makes me feel that he sees things that I don't see even though I am the one who has the eye of truth. Choosing him that day to be my disciple was not wrong, It is the Truth that was blind for not accepting him... What a loss, What a loss..."

"Did you say something, Your Excellency?"

Robin lowered his head and shook it gently, "No… Go on please, you said we have information about the Wizards' force, tell me what are those exactly."
