Now Zich understood.
This was not a simple competition.
This was putting himself in front of all the major powers and placing a price on him.
The risk was huge.
The reward was also huge.
The troublesome part was that he did not like being watched by too many people.
And even more troublesome was that many of his summons could not be revealed casually.
Tiamant absolutely could not be used. The moment a dragon appeared, every major faction would start investigating him.
Iron was safer, but only if he limited what it revealed.
Leech and Slimy could be used openly as well, yet overusing them carried its own risks.
The biggest problem was not winning.
It was winning while appearing ordinary.
Arthur looked at him.
"With your performance in the Gold Secret Realm, even if you do not actively register, your name will still appear on the candidate list."
"Can I refuse?"
"You can."
