The Golden Lord has a perverted SSS-rank summoning system!

"Ah..." Ethan rubbed his aching chest, a faint, weary smile crossing his face.

He’d thought about it. Quite a bit, actually. Erasing her ego entirely. Turning her into nothing more than a hollow shell of absolute loyalty.

But what would be the point?

Mireya was a formidable warrior, yes. But her true value lay in her ancestral knowledge.

She had mastered many of the great techniques that forged the Kingdom of Burning Ice, including the Vorhn family’s terrifying secret technique, the very one that gave the kingdom its name.

Ethan counted himself lucky. During their battle, Mireya had been too confident in her own victory to use that technique. Had she done so, his end would have been very grim.

Erasing her ego would give him a third-stage warrior with absolute loyalty, but one worth far less than Mireya with her mind fully intact.

[You have completed the mission: Taming a Princess of the Past

Rewards have been sent to the system inventory]

[You have received the passive skill: Touch of the God of Love

Touch of the God of Love will automatically activate on hostile women.]

Ethan nodded, a look of approval spreading across his face.

He hadn’t received any instructions on how to use the skill, so he’d already guessed it was passive.

"Now... there’s only one thing left." His eyes fell on the ten premium gacha tickets and twenty common gacha tickets sitting in his system inventory.

To his surprise, the common tickets actually yielded something worthwhile. Twenty Rank C Talent Enhancement Potions, each divisible into twenty individual doses. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Rank C talents might seem like a small thing on their own, but the sheer quantity made all the difference. Especially considering Goldenveil’s current size.

Two hundred new Rank C talents in total. Meanwhile, the current guard had only twenty Rank C talents and a single Rank B, Cain, who likely wouldn’t take long to reach the second stage.

An army of two hundred guards, all possessing Rank C talent and the potential to reach the second stage, would place Goldenveil far above any settlement of a similar size.

It wouldn’t even be wrong to say those potions were one of the best possible rewards from common tickets.

Even if they became insignificant down the line, for now, they would be a massive help.

Satisfaction settled across Ethan’s features. He picked up the ten premium gacha tickets, holding them between his fingers.

Now it was time for the real good stuff.

[You used 10x premium gacha tickets!

Spinning...]

The first thing to illuminate the room was an intense golden light. Ethan’s eyes widened, a sharp gleam catching in them.

An A-Rank item, right off the bat!

[Congratulations, you have received: Movement Skill: Golden Steps (Rank A)]

[Congratulations, you have received: Spatial Ring (Rank B)]

[Congratulations, you have received: Lost Dungeon Key (Rank B)]

[Congratulations, you have received: Shield of the Lost Wall (Rank D)]

[Congratulations, you have received: Blade of Dawn (Rank C)]

[Congratulations, you have received: 100x Low-Tier Pops Card (Rank D)]

[Congratulations, you have received: Lower-Tier Growth Bonus Card (Rank D)]

[Congratulations, you have received: 1x Large Healing Potion (Rank C)]

Ethan was already preparing to voice his disappointment at how sharply the quality had dropped after the first two pulls, but the words died in his throat.

A deep tremor engulfed all of Goldenveil. The ground vibrated beneath his feet, and his heart clenched tight.

He had obtained many powerful items from the system before, but never once had the world itself reacted this way.

Could it be? A legendary Rank SSS item?

[Congratulations, you have received: 1x Tree of Life Seed (Rank SSS)]

Ethan barely managed to contain himself as he opened the item’s information screen.

[Item: Seed of the Tree of Life

Description: A legendary tree, created as a blessing from the goddess of life and the goddess of beauty to their creations, the high elves.

It has the ability to designate an area around itself as a sacred zone, greatly increasing mana density, the health of all surrounding living beings, and the chance for greater talents to emerge, as well as boosting fertility, recovery speed, and much more.

Additional: Elven citizens may randomly arrive in Goldenveil after planting a Tree of Life.

Additional: The Tree of Life passively heals all diseases of living beings in its vicinity.

Additional: Trees of Life must be planted near magical veins.

Additional: Trees of Life require at least one high elf to maintain them. They will die without the care of a high elf.

Additional: The presence of a Tree of Life in your territory will raise your territory’s relationship with the Elven Confederation to ’Friendly’.]

The more Ethan read, the more amazed he became.

And the more disappointed also.

On one hand, having his capital designated as sacred territory would be extraordinary.

Even among all the human kingdoms, only three sacred areas existed, and all were inferior. None comparable to the one created by a Tree of Life.

A stronger population. Crops that grew with far greater vitality. Bonuses to fertility, talent, and raw power.

But the last requirement was the real problem.

High elves were rare. Even with the system, what were the real chances of receiving one?

From what he knew of the Elven Confederation, they likely wouldn’t hesitate to send a high elf to tend to his Tree of Life. But they would almost certainly try to seize political control of Goldenveil, developing it solely to benefit the tree.

Even in the entire Elven Confederation, there were probably no more than one to two hundred high elves, all dedicated to tending their three existing Trees of Life.

He held an incomparable treasure in his hands, but he couldn’t use it.

Even if he somehow acquired a high elf, external powers would move against Goldenveil without hesitation, seeking to conquer it and claim the Tree of Life for themselves.

[If the user establishes a barony in Goldenveil, a new luck feature of the system, which increases the chances of granting rewards desired by the user, will be unlocked.

Regarding the chances of the user being attacked by external forces, the Golden Lords are currently under a period of protection and can only be attacked by internal forces and other Golden Lords.]

That response from the system brought some measure of peace to Ethan, and his gaze shifted to the other two noteworthy items he had received.

A movement technique and a spatial ring.
