My Fusion System: Fusing A Thousand Chickens At The Start Chapter 209 - The Pen Of Truth Or The Pen Of Disaster

Chapter 209: The Pen Of Truth Or The Pen Of Disaster

The Pen of Truth was one of the most famous platinum-tier items in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Even though it did not have a powerful attack, it was more useful in some aspects than an attack-elemental item.

For example, its ability to detect lies.

The Pen of Truth could detect and punish any liars in front of it. In addition, it was not the host who activated that power but the pen itself. It would have a sudden test when one was in a good mood.

Sometimes the Pen of Truth would force the host to a test, especially when someone made a significant declaration.

For example, Watson made a declaration that he would rule the kingdom in the future. Antonio knew about the Pen of Truth, but it was too late to stop Watson from saying that.

Unfortunately, the Pen of Truth had been triggered, and it was prepared to judge Watson.

“I am not only going to be the ruler of the border’s ruler, but I will rule the kingdom too.”

Pen of Truth wrote Watson’s words in the void. The s.h.i.+ning red words gleamed, then the words shattered. The Pen of Truth flew straight to his hand. Antonio’s face darkened, and Sylvan sighed.

Sylvan had also heard of the Pen of Truth. It belonged to the royal family and was used to judge criminals and corrupt n.o.bles. He guessed that Moriarty was one of the King’s men, and he knew that when he saw the Pen of Truth.

He thought that the pen would conclude Watson’s words as lies, and the young man would have his flesh dug out until he admitted that he was lying.

Even though he was a border count and had a deep hatred for the king, he was not sure that he could be the kingdom’s supreme. Watson was only a little over ten years old, and he only had Blackmoon Castle behind him. How could he fight against the empire?

Antonio thought the same, so he did not help. Firstly, the Pen of Truth was absolutely effective, and he could not stop it. Secondly, it was good to let Watson know how arrogant he had sounded. Even if Watson had mastered a mysterious spell that could fuse a platinum-tier elite, he should not have been overly confident.

Just as both of them thought about it, something unexpected happened.

The Pen of Truth flew to Watson’s side. It did not pierce his arm as the two had expected. Instead, the pen was slightly bent, like a cute kitten. It gently rubbed against Watson’s arm, and he snapped his hand backward.

“Stop rubbing against me; it’s itchy.”

What had happened?

Antonio and Sylvan’s eyes widened. The Pen of Truth did not suck Watson’s blood, which meant that it had agreed with Watson’s words. Could he really ascend as the kingdom’s supreme in the future? Would that really happen?

Perhaps the pen was wrong?

Sylvan had a thought in his mind and tentatively said, “I am making a statement. I will be the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s supreme in the future.”

Whoos.h.!.+

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the Pen of Truth turned into a straight arrow and left Watson’s arm. It landed on Sylvan’s palm and drilled into it like a drill. The blood and flesh splattered; the pain made him gasp. “I will make a statement again. I am lying. I will not become the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s Emperor.”

Then, the Pen of Truth left Sylvan’s palm. The tip had absorbed the blood before it returned to Watson. It used the blood to write a line of words in the air.

[My beloved master, you are the future ruler of this kingdom! Someone just lied to me and tried to infringe on my authority, so I punished him a little. Did I do the right thing?]

That pen was poisonous.

Sylvan cast a healing spell on his injured palm. He stared at the Pen of Truth with a face full of hatred. He did not mind if the pen wanted to judge him, but why did the Pen of Truth treat him and Watson so differently? That was unfair.

“What can you do?” Watson asked.

[If I judged something to be true, I could achieve it.]

“Wait, Watson.”

Antonio interrupted them. “The Pen of Truth has two abilities. One is to detect lies, and the other is to rewrite reality. The latter is one of the reasons why it has become a platinum-tier item. The other reason is that it is different from other platinum-tier items. It has self-awareness! The ability to rewrite reality is terrifying. It can also resurrect the dead and turn the poor into billionaires. However, you have to understand one thing. The Pen of Truth is only a platinum-tier item. It can not fulfill a strong wish. Therefore, if a wish exceeds a limit, it will be distorted.”

“I have the same opinion as Master. There was once a great n.o.ble in the kingdom who wanted to become richer. So, I asked His Majesty for that Pen of Truth to rewrite reality. In the end, he did become wealthy. The source of the money was the pension His Majesty gave him when his son was killed by bandits when he was out! There was also a person who cultivated slowly but wanted to achieve more, but he was merged into a monster in the end. He was strong, but he lost his sense of self.”

Sylvan looked at Watson and said, “So you understand now. The Pen of Truth is not that convenient. Some people even call it the Pen of Disaster.”

“I understand.”

Watson nodded. He looked at the Pen of Truth that floated in front of him. “So, are you the Pen of Disaster?”

Sylvan almost fell. How could he ask such a straightforward question? Even the Pen of Truth could not admit it.

[Master, you have misunderstood me. I am not the Pen of Disaster. I am a pen of good luck that will bring happiness to you. My beloved master, is there anything you need me to do?]

“Help me deal with the goldbiter rats that are endangering the border.”

It was not that Watson did not believe Sylvan’s words. He just wanted to give it a try after he saw how respectful the Pen of Truth was.

[I’m sorry, Master. You seem to have misunderstood my ability. I can’t fulfill your wish. Whatever you want to do, you must do it yourself. If you want to rewrite reality, then you must start with a statement and specify the time and place of what you want to do—the more accurate, the better. I will let fate take the path that you have envisioned. If what you have said can’t be fulfilled, then you must restate it. If you do not elaborate, you must add a statement.]

“It’s so troublesome. I think I’ll pa.s.s.”

At first, Watson thought that the Pen of Truth’s ability to rewrite reality was similar to the Wish for the World ring, which could help him achieve his wish. It seemed like the two are different. The ring would satisfy his request directly. On the other hand, the Pen of Truth was to change the world and make the world meet his expectations.

[It’s no trouble. Master, you don’t have to say ritualistic words like the beginning of a statement. I will also help you rewrite reality.]

“Really? Then let me try.”

At that moment, Watson could sense that the Pen of Truth wanted to flatter him. He said, “Three months from now, when winter has ended, I will personally solve the problem with the goldbiter rats in front of Blackmoon Castle’s gate.”

He had wanted to make a wish and solve the problem with the goldbiter rats. However, Antonio and Sylvan said that the Pen of Truth was dangerous, and he could not make a wish that exceeded its scope. Therefore, he decided to be more prudent and extended the time.

[Of course, my master. Your words are entirely effective. The world in three months will be as you wis.h.!.+ As the price for fate, I need to draw a small amount of blood. That is also the way to maintain my operation. I believe you will not be stingy.”]

“Come.”

Watson presented his arm and generously let the Pen of Truth draw blood from it. It was not difficult to solve the problem with the goldbiter rats in three months. The Pen of Truth should not need to draw much blood.

“Then I won’t be courteous, Master.”

After it wrote those scarlet words in midair, the Pen of Truth did not land on Watson’s arm to draw his blood. Instead, it flew rapidly, landed on Lilith’s body not far away, and pierced her arm.

Lilith did not even have a chance to cry out in surprise before the Pen of Truth flew to Antonio and Sylvan’s side and pierced their bodies. It was not until the pen was soaked in blood that it burped and returned to Watson’s side.

“What’s going on?”

Lilith was confused. Antonio and Sylvan looked at each other in confusion. The Pen of Truth mentioned that it would absorb blood. They had thought that it would absorb Watson’s blood, but it did not.

[How can a lowly servant like me absorb the blood of a great master? You should feel honored to be able to help Master realize his wishes by offering your blood. Master, did I do it right?]

What the h.e.l.l?

How could a pen be so cheap?

Antonio widened his eyes in anger. As the greatest mage in the kingdom, was his blood not as precious as Watson’s?

The Pen of Truth did not respect the royal family even though it had belonged to them. However, it was very polite toward Watson. Even Lilith, the h.e.l.l Baron, had great respect for Watson. Was it because Watson had mastered fusion magic, or was he a natural king with a temperament that could make people submit to him?

Watson also thought that it was unbelievable. He could understand why Lilith respected him; it was most likely because it was his fusion magic. He did not know why the Pen of Truth liked him so much.

It was not the time to dwell on that. Watson waved his hand at his angry master and Sylvan. “Master, Lord Sylvan, let’s put the matter aside. Why don’t we meet up with Miss Nightingale and then go back to Blackmoon Castle to discuss our plans! In return for the Pen of Truth taking your blood, I will give you a hybrid Phoenix egg to help your recovery. Is that alright?”
