122. gold vein
As I was riding alongside my older sister, I stopped talking at the chills that I felt running down my spine.
“sister.”
“why?”
“I think the capsule is broken.”
“broken?”
“It’s suddenly cold.”
“Oh no way… … .”
“is not it?”
“Of course. If the temperature is dangerous, a warning sign pops up right away.”
“It is, but… Sniff, I don’t know why it’s cold.”
“If you’re worried, go out for a second. The temperature sensor might be broken.”
“I should too. Take care of the avatar.”
“okay.”
After entrusting the avatar to my sister, I forced the shutdown as it was. How to do it is easy.
Open the options window and move your body in reality to remove the helmet on your head. However, the thing to avoid doing this is that once you leave and come back, the character becomes completely defenseless for about 5 minutes because it is loaded again.
After I shut it down and went outside, I blinked my eyes to dark adapt to the momentarily attacking darkness.
Although it is daytime, I prefer not to get light into the capsule as much as possible, so I completely block the windows.
“There is nothing wrong.”
When I checked the temperature, it was set at 22 degrees before entering.
I’m… Tidik.

Just in case, I raised the temperature by about 2 degrees and connected to the game.
“What do you think?”
“Nothing wrong.”
“okay? I’m glad. Maybe it’s because you always set your sensory settings to maximum.”
“is it.”
“yes. I also picked it up, but they say that if you set the senses to the maximum and play hard, the senses will be overloaded and you will have a sense of touch… … .”
“What is illusion?”
“It’s a fake feeling.”
“Aha… … .”
“I’d rather lower my senses for now. Wouldn’t it be scary to do it 100% every day?”
“I was 100% from the start. I tried lowering it the other day as a test, but my senses became dull, so it wasn’t good… … .”
At my answer, my sister shook her shoulders and said,
“I don’t think I can beat you to death.”
“I like it when we fight.”
“Well, it’s a small thing if you think of it as the opposite of that terrifying combat power.”
“hehehe, right.”
If you ask me if it hurts, honestly, it hurts terribly.
In particular, being stabbed by a cold weapon was the most painful, and the feeling of the weapon squeezing into the body was also very foul.
Why do I have to get used to the signal of pain while playing a game? Some hits come, but it’s not real pain, so it’s tolerable.
“By the way, sister.”
“why?”
“I don’t fit in well.”
“what?”
“They… … .”
I said while chinning the young people who were standing on either side of the road with their heads down until their necks were broken. Children sometimes glance at me on the horse, but whenever they do, I feel sorry for me patrolling morning and night whenever I see parents who violently press down on the child’s head. NPCs in other people’s neighborhoods could say that they’re sorry for that while slicing them as if they were harvesting wheat, but they’re the ones I rule over. sounds like mine
My sister glanced at the young people and said.
“You are the king in this town. I once saw a young lord smash his head with a horse’s paw for making eye contact with a serf.”
“Wow, crazy… … .”
“No kidding. Do you think right away you say, ‘I like him? Wash it well and put it in my bedroom tonight.’ … . The notorious Middle Ages, where the romance of very men lives and breathes.”
“No matter how medieval it is, the lord’s wife isn’t angry?”
“That’s it, Cavacagji. If the lord’s wife is a child of a powerful family, he’s having a temper, and if it’s just a flat-faced fallen nobleman, he’s shutting up. It is difficult for a commoner to become a government official.”
“Oh, then what will your sister do?”
“me? From the position of the lord’s wife?”
“Ugh.”
“Sangdo should tell my brother. My back was bent from eating your younger sister NPC X.”
“Ugh… … .”
“Ho-ho-ho. why? Do you have any kids you like? Well, if you have a heart, I’ll be generous and acknowledge a couple of concubines.”
“done. All five villages together have a population of less than 1,000, but what about concubines… … .”
“You don’t know how many thousand people there are. Shall we gather all the village girls together?”
“Ah, that’s okay… … .”
“Do you have a taste for married women?”
“… … .”
I was joking around once, but I was beaten without mercy. But if it wasn’t for my sister that I couldn’t say anything, I would have been very helpless by myself.
‘Viscount Kay Ironwood.’

Just how long did he become a baron, he became a viscount and was granted five villages.
As for the names, they are Scople, Blagna, Morav, Trozen, and Velike villages, but they are located northwest of the border with the Chinna Empire. There is Mount Catarina, which serves as a border, and below it is the town of Bolanya. If you follow the road to the east from here, you will come to the village of Velike, and to the south of it there is the village of Scople, which can be said to be the center of the five villages, and finally to the southwest and southeast are the villages of Morab and Trozen.
For reference, the total population was 1,100, but except for the scople village where the permanent residence was located, it was a small town with less than 100 people. Count Podina lent 100 men as soldiers, but with this number, it seems difficult to keep the village safe, let alone subdue monsters. They say it’s huge for a gifted land… … .
“I wish I could get one article from Count Podina… … .”
“You speak so awkwardly.”
“It’s not because it’s not a turn, it’s because the most urgent thing is a knight.”
At my words, my older sister nodded her head with a slightly sullen expression.
“Don’t expect any more from that indecisive, salty count.”
“why?”
“Why why? He did the same thing to you even though he was beaten by the royal family.”
“Isn’t that because the border is safe only when I’m here?”
“Are you stupid? Even if it’s not you, all the thugs around you under Baron Camerson are ruined. Reorganize the army when you are busy paying reparations? What if you break your promise and come in? I didn’t even declare war before, but I broke down and smeared the name of the empire with shit. If you do that, the imperial family will probably subjugate you.
“Five… … .”
I’m going through each and every detail, but I have nothing to say.
“Then why did you put me here?”
“Why why? I sent you here because it was burdensome.”
“Am I a burden?”
“okay. Under normal circumstances, you would have to oxidize with 20,000 people, but since you survived and your name value went up endlessly, it became burdensome to hold you in your arms. Besides, did you get a lot this time? Especially honor points.”
“yes? Yes.”
At my sister’s words, I opened the status window.
[Status window]

Honor points were not only acquired through quests. It can also be obtained by killing NPCs or users of hostile countries, and if you make your name known through them, it will also be converted into honor points.
Fighting each other, defeating four enemy generals in a row, crushing three knights single-handedly, and killing 3,000 soldiers alone, so my honor score skyrocketed endlessly. In addition, the stats I saved with the Eater skill were almost level 2, and I took the loot to fill my hero-class bag with one legendary achievement.
“If you accumulate honor points at this rate, even if you push Count Podina out and sit there, will the people of the province support you?”
“That is too much of an interpretation.”
“There are cases like that.”
“really?”
“yes. The case is a bit different, but since the NPC lord did such an idiot that his honor points dropped, the NPCs under the lord kicked the lord away and appointed the user with the next highest honor score as the lord.”
“Hey, is that even possible?”
“okay.”
“Um… … .”
A high honor score in Podina is the same as a high reputation. As my older sister said, I could understand the fact that I had a higher honor score than Count Podina, so I felt burdened as a count.
“Anyway, we should only think about developing this territory. No matter what Count Podina had in mind, getting the estate meant getting a chance to make a leap forward.”
“The opportunity is great, but the problem is that I don’t know where to start developing.”
“Uh huh, you just have to trust your sister. The plan is already in my head!”
“What plan?”
At my question, my sister’s eyes curved into half moon shapes.
“It’s still a secret.”
“to? What’s the secret here?”
“There is such a thing. You just have to trust me.”
“Hmm… … .”
When I looked at my sister with suspicious eyes, my sister cleared her throat and said,
“If I could give you a hint, it would be that I put a lot of effort into adding five villages to your territory.”
“… … ?”
“You just need to know that far. now! Let’s go back and log out.”
“Grunt… uh.”
My sister and I headed to the manor house in the center of Scople Village. An old, unpretentious two-story building made of white brick. Originally used as a town hall, it was used as a permanent residence. Looking at the count’s castle and then seeing this small permanent residence, on the other hand, I feel that there is a very long way to go.
By the way, what does it mean to use force?
No matter how much I roll my head, nothing comes out. It’s been two days since I’ve been full of doubts about my sister’s words. I found out what my sister meant.
“What… Called?”
“gold mine!”
“gold mine? I hope that… A gold mine where gold comes out?”
“right!”
My sister answered my question with a proud expression.
“how?”
“As soon as I heard the rumor that you were receiving the estate, I immediately ran to Viscount Illen. First of all, I need to know which place you are receiving as a territory.”
“therefore?”
“At first, he was hesitant to tell me, but he told me that it was near the border, as if he was a little sorry. I immediately mobilized all of my information network in Podina and gathered all the specialties and rumors from the villages in the territory.”
“Five… … .”
It is the sound of my sister running around sweating on the soles of my feet while I was sleeping exhausted from stretching.
“Then I picked up a piece of information that was really good.”
“what is that?”
“You know the town of Bolanya near the border, right?”
“yes. know.”
“There is a creek that starts at Mount Catarina. But does gold come out of it?”
“gold dust?”
“yes. It’s near the border, so people don’t go around a lot, but among the users, it is said that they often found small gold nuggets there. So right away, among my acquaintances, I wanted someone with a skill to find veins and scoured the nearby mountains. Then!”
“Did you do that?!”
“The gold vein is voila~”
With those words, my sister handed out a document, which was a document guaranteeing the gold vein issued by the Mining Guild.
“After checking the vein, I immediately ran to Viscount Illen and tried to get this area as my territory. This older sister!”
