Chapter 1112 Hint
"I accept your oath."
Theo finally finished recruiting Jeffrey. However, both of them turned silent, with no one planning to move.
They stayed quiet for two minutes before Jeffrey stuttered, "I-I'm sorry… for making you fulfill my childhood dream."
"Can we stay quiet for a bit more? It would feel good when you're a kid, but a young man is doing it with a middle-aged man right now, and we're not actors… I'm almost dying from cringes…" Theo looked away as he wanted to bite his tongue.
The atmosphere became awkward for a bit longer until Theo finally put the sword away. After stopping pouring his Magic Power, the sword gradually disappeared, proving Theo's theory.
This was the difference between his Reality Order and Creation Order. His Reality Order could bring something to reality, but it would only last until the supply, which in this case, the Magic Power, ran out. On the contrary, the Creation Order would create something without this weakness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was why the Creator God was an omnipotent existence who needed to wield all thirteen big Orders to create this world. Even he couldn't see how much power the Creator God had to do something like that.
Since Theo had retracted the sword, Jeffrey rose from the floor and asked, "By the way, how should I call you? It's true that you consider me as a comrade instead of your follower or subordinate, but we have a huge difference in age. Well, I don't really mind being called similar to that assassin earlier."
"Yeah. I personally don't mind about our age. I'll just call you with your name, and you will do the same. That is if you are fine with it."
"That's perfectly fine. Just call me Jeff to simplify my name, and I'll call you Joker."
"OK." Theo nodded in agreement.
"Then, Joker. I have a few things to ask. Should I move my base right now? I know that you're living in the Star Group's living quarters, but I don't think it's appropriate for me to move in with you. Do you have a base or something?"
"No. You can stay here if you like. For now, I'm not planning to make a big movement, so you can continue your daily life like normal."
"I see." Jeff nodded and contemplated for a moment. "In that case, you said you want me to paint a world. What do you mean by that? And it seems that this 'world' is related to that Golden Magic Power. To be honest, I don't know my role here."
"I'm planning to make a base sooner or later. I don't know when and where right now because I'm still searching for people. I want you to paint something like that… like scenery or something. What kind of building will look good? I don't care about the building's design since it's the architect's job. I just want the outer appearance.
"This power of mine allows me to create a territory, so it's easy to build it from scratch. And I'm still too weak, so I can't do much right now. In fact, you have the potential to gain a similar power of mine." Theo hinted about the Order.
According to his observation, Jeff's mastery was even higher than Felix's. Although Felix would be stronger in one on one fights, it was due to Felix's nature being an assassin.
So, hinting to him about Order would probably do something good in the future. The group would be much more powerful if there was another person having an Order in his group.
Theo hesitated at first, but the Dark King seemed to pay no mind about showing this power. It might be due to him being a monster, but he might have overestimated the Order.
"A similar power?" Jeff widened his eyes in surprise before getting confused. That Golden Magic Power was out of the norm. Nothing in his mind could figure out this power. Yet, Theo hinted that he had the potential to gain this extraordinary power.
"Well, I'll just give you a hint. I won't explain it to you in detail until you achieve it." Theo contemplated for a moment and found the simple hint that could make Jeff gain an Order. "You have two art styles, right?"
"Yes," Jeff admitted without hesitation.

"…" Jeff looked down as if he couldn't answer him. However, this was enough for Theo to know the answer.
"Be true to yourself even to the end of time. That's the hint." Theo patted his shoulders before turning around, planning to leave. Since he had given him a hint, the rest would be up to him.
Jeff could throw away one of them or do nothing. Even Theo didn't know which answer would allow Jeff to attain his Order since the only person who knew Jeff the best was himself.
Jeff looked down before grabbing Theo's hand. He then took out a business card containing his number. "This is my personal number. The people who know this number can be counted with fingers. If you have any requests, you can call this number. I'll also mark your number."
"OK, thanks." Theo took the card and said, "I am sure you know about this, but don't tell anyone about my power."
"I understand." Jeff nodded with a serious expression.
"That's good. Well, it's time for me to leave." Theo waved his hand and walked toward the door. On the way, he was thinking about the pianist. 'Wait a minute. The Queen of Destiny indirectly implied that I would only get one person during this trip. Since I've gotten Jeff, does it mean it's impossible for me to get the pianist? Having an Enchanter can boost the overall stability of my team…
'Just like the assassination or the dragon, the Queen of Destiny can predict something correctly, which means her power is genuine. In that case, does it mean I have no possibility to get this pianist guy?'
Theo looked down, starting to feel disappointed. However, he remembered what God of Mischief said about him breaking everyone's expectations.
'Right? Screw that. If the future wants me to die, I'm going to replace that reality. If the future wants me to only get Jeff, screw the future! I choose both!' Theo smirked as he left the room with an excited smile.
