My legendary class is Husband Of Deathwill Sisters?!

Chapter 224: The Authority's power

"Authority… She has been born with such a power," Thanas spoke in his casual voice, which sounded rough and cold.

However, it was his usual tone, so everyone who knew him wouldn't think too much about it.

Alex was at first nervous, but as Thanas started explaining Celia's importance, he realized that the Dullahan King was thinking objectively.

"Elias Deathwill left a unique existence in the castle's treasury. She told me that Celia can become the queen," Alex said.

Thanas could only agree, "The authority has been the thing of the past until now… I have heard and seen it in the Ancestral Grounds. But that was still an experience of the past, a dream.

Every race with a long history has had such an existence at least once. And with them on the throne, such a race was fated to prosper for generations. There weren't more than three authorities in one era in the past.

But I fear that the authorities will become candies with the system and players in our world," Thanas stoically explained.

Alex inquired further, "What exactly is The Authority?"

"It comes in many forms, depending on the holder. It can be power to boost or order the army, use people to raise his own strength, and more.

The Authority holders still share the same perks, no matter what race. Once properly tamed, the person with this power can sense all his race members' lives. In other words, he knows the exact number of his people.

And worse, he can locate them without any problems. He also can see the last moments before his people's death, learning the truth behind their fall. You can expect such a person to have pure charisma and a selfless heart; at least more of his heart should be altruistic…

The Authority also purifies the bloodline like nothing in the world, bringing the holder closer to the origins. Loyal followers get a little of that blessing, depending on their contribution to the king. Since they can pass information upon their death, nothing ever escapes the eyes of the authority holder. Loyal subjects can expect the king to take an act of revenge for them.

There can be only benefits in following such a person unless you plan to snatch that power," Thanas explained.

He then added, "The Dullahan King's Sword turned you into a dullahan because she believes and trusts you. I don't think this sword holds enough power to turn you into a dullahan on its own.

Or perhaps, Celia upped that sword for your sake," Thanas coolly thought aloud.

Alex felt sweet as Celia did so much for him. She did it for her mother and her family, too, believing that they would return home, and they did.

He smiled as he enjoyed the talk about his daughter. His initial goal was to confirm his theory and learn more about hungry demons.

But now, it was all about his family.

Alex shared casual bits about Celia with her grandpa. Although Thanas kept a stoic face without any emotion slipping into his countenance, Alex had a feeling that he was getting fond of the little dullahan.

The importance of the authority and that it could be snatched didn't even matter in the eyes of these two guys.

Alex would never let someone hurt his daughter. He wouldn't let the authority control her future, too. If Celia wanted to become the queen, he would support her. But if she had different plans, he would help her tame or maybe even erase that power.

"Celia always could find me easily… Is it because of her power, even though I am not dullahan?" Alex asked casually, "It might become a problem when she starts seeing the deaths of dullahans."

"You will be by her side…" Thanas whispered as if praying that Alex wouldn't commit the same or at least similar mistakes as he had done in the past.

Alex couldn't tell what had happened in the past, but it was easy to infer that Thanas had spent more time as a king rather than the father.

While work naturally took the majority of people's time, there still should be some balance and breaks. Alex could see that Thanas didn't have any of those.

"You gonna have plenty of breaks, grandpa," Alex half-jested, his words causing Thanas' eyes to twitch, "After I bring Celia and Sara to this world, you will have to take them to a theme park."

Thanas didn't reply; at least he didn't disagree.

And then, the third voice rang out from the side, "What do I see? What a scene! Haha!"

That laughing and clearly, the exuberant voice belonged to the soul grave-keeper, returning from his work. He noticed Alexander and Thanas together, his smile widening as he had a suspicion that Alex finally saw through their plight.

He took a seat, then apologized, "Sorry for my good mood. I might sound too annoying, but you have to understand that I have managed to send the police at that bastard Gavriel."

Thanas nodded with approval.

"Your enemy from another world," Alex squinted his eyes, finding the soul grave-keeper quite childish.

The old man didn't miss that, "Since we can't even use those precious seconds of our power here, I need to use modern ways to deal with my enemies.

Don't worry, though, Alexander… Gavriel is going to have a blast in the court explaining his god and belief! Haha!" he laughed maniacally.

Alex could only accept this old man's ways. If he met one of his enemies here, it was indeed a good thing that he couldn't summon undead to fight and cause havoc. That would break the world's balance.

Something piqued Alex's interest, though, "You said precious seconds… So you can use your power, but something stops you?"

"Not something but someone," the old man corrected Alex, then added, "There's a hungry demon in the vicinity that keeps people in check. He stopped us from using our fantasy strength."

Alex's expression turned into confusion, "…In the Avander World, they are the enemies who plot in every land… And here, they are like… heroes or guardians?

I don't understand…" he shook his head.

"Welcome to the club," the old man grinned.
