The Wise Lord chapter 28

Episode 28 – The wise lord (2)

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung…!!

The cataclysm that began in Leuven.

It wasn’t just Amelia who was amazed at the majestic sight.

“What is this…?”

“Three, my God…”

“What is all that…?”

All the villagers of Ruben raised their heads and looked at the same place.

The hand that was dismantling it stopped at some point.

There was no spirit to continue the dismantling work.

Buildings that are being built by myself.

Even after washing my eyes and searching, I couldn’t see any workers carrying materials.

Such spectacles were taking place all over Leuven.

The scenery is truly majestic.

“Grayson? Now, do you know what that is?”

“I-I don’t know…”

Grayson shook his head at Young Ji-min’s question.

and.

“Damn, boss. What is that… what is that?”

“What is going on…?”

Soldiers undergoing training at the Soldier Training Center were no exception.

All the soldiers stopped training and watched Ruben’s Cataclysm.

It was a situation where, normally, I would have heard shouts, telling me not to say unnecessary things.

“What is this…?”

But this time it wasn’t like that at all.

Lucas’ eyes were almost tearing open.

“Uh, what’s that…!”

I heard Hans’ voice right next to me.

There, Hans was watching Ruben’s cataclysm with a shocked expression.

Lucas was in charge of training the current soldiers, but

It was Hans who had been helping Lucas for a while because he still had something to take over.

“Don’t Hans even know?”

Hans nodded slowly.

It would be more accurate to say that he just nodded his head.

territories and soldiers.

Grayson and Hans and Lucas and even Amelia.

Literally everyone in Leuven came together as if possessed.

Then suddenly, while watching Ruben’s cataclysm.

looking at each other

“·······”

“·······”

“·······”

From nob le mt l. co m

Just like that, my mind went out.

Hey, ascending to heaven is a bonus.

only one person.

“see···.”

Only Xian gave a very satisfied smile.

Young Ji-min and the soldiers gathered together.

And Grayson and Hans and Lucas and even Amelia.

The eyes of everyone present in Ruben naturally turned to Xian.

Xian calmly looked around the scenery of Ruben.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung…!

Tick-tock.

charrr.

Farmland, smithy, treatment center, mine, beast ranch, restaurant, etc.

In the mobile lord, smart facilities were being built on their own.

“oh. It’s a bit young now.”

I was looking for the appearance of youngji.

To be precise, a town that is just about to develop?

Still, this was a great improvement from what was nothing but ruins.

Of course, it took time to build all of those facilities.

And again.

[Instant Completion Ticket] – 3,000 G

[Instant Completion Ticket] – 5,000 G

[Instant Completion Ticket] – 1,500 G

[Instant Completion Ticket] – 2,000 G

.

.

.

.

The mobile lord has been tempted with numerous instant completion rights.

However, Xian pressed the X button without hesitation.

The immediate completion right is literally used when in a hurry.

It is not urgent, but there is no need to complete it immediately.

Above all, there were facilities that did not require as much time as expected.

《Combination of a livable brick house!》

“The house will be built soon.”

A house where the young people will live.

The price was 2,000 gold in a bundle of 10, which was about 200 gold per unit.

Given that the monthly living expenses for a family of four were 30 gold.

200 gold per house was neither too expensive nor too cheap.

Xian entered the finished house and inspected the structure inside.

“oh!”

It was better than expected.

No, it was better than I thought.

The size is about 30 pyeong, with a large living room and 3 bedrooms.

It was large enough for a family of four to live in.

It was also built with bricks, so it was a house that gave a sense of coziness and stability.

Literally, it was a ‘good brick house to live in’.

“Oh… 200 gold is really cheap.”

Xian calmly examined the structure of the house.

“What is this?”

Then something I found.

There was a large groove dug into the pillar, which seemed to be inserting something.

“Could this be a mana stone?”

It seemed like that.

It seemed like there was something similar at the time of purchase.

Xian slowly came out of the house.

Then, the people of Ruben were looking this way with dazed expressions.

It seemed that all the floating faces hadn’t come back to their senses yet.

The ascended man had nothing to say.

Sian turned his head and saw a familiar face and called his name.

“Duras!”

Territory soldier, Duras.

“Yes, yes? ancient!”

At Xian’s call, Duras was startled.

Soon, he could recognize that Xian was calling him.

“Did you call!”

Duras gasped and ran in front of Xian.

“Hey, go to the mine and pick up one mana stone.”

“Mana stones… are you saying?”

“okay. Because the mines haven’t been built yet. Pick up anything lying around on the ground.”

“Ah, I see.”

Duras gasped again and disappeared from sight.

So little time passed.

Duras returned with a mana stone.

A black mana stone.

The mana stone, which had demonic energy, exuded a sense of resentment to the surroundings.

Because of that, the impression of Duras was also not very, very good.

Xian took over the Mana Stone from Duras.

Then, he placed his hand on the mana stone and gently closed his eyes.

And Hans, Lucas, and Amelia who watched the scene.

“…?”

“…?”

“…?”

They wondered what Xian was doing.

That would be true, too, because that mana stone was none other than a mana stone with demonic energy.

If you accidentally touch it, you’ll be enveloped in demonic energy and your mind will go crazy.

Swoouuu!

In an instant, the mana stones began to flash.

Soon, a deep pitch-black light shimmered.

It was soon absorbed by Xian’s hand.

And soon after, the black mana stone began to take on a blue color.

“······!!!!!”

“······!!!!!”

“······!!!!!”

The eyes of Hans, Lucas, and Amelia were tearing open.

Did you just absorb the magic that dwells in the mana stone…?

That meant that Xian would soon be engulfed in demonic energy and go mad.

The faces of Hans and Lucas hardened for an instant.

however.

“Whoa…! Why, the more you do it, the harder it gets.”

Xian only shook his head once.

Then, he went back into the house.

sinking silence.

“What, what is it?”

“Um, what is that…”

“No, what is that…”

Their spirits, which had returned for a short while, were once again out of the way.

Whether you know their feelings or not.

Xian entered the house and inserted the mana stone into the groove.

Click. with a shout.

Woo woo woo…! Magical power spread throughout the house.

A form of drawing mana from a mana stone.

If you used a mana stone imbued with magic.

The whole house would have been encroached upon by Magi.

However, thanks to Xian’s purification of demonic energy, the power of demonic energy was not felt at all.

A long graph was created in the space where the mana stones were inserted.

From the looks of it, it seemed like it could be controlled by hand…

Xian raised the graph upward with his fingers.

Then the whole house is hot! It was hot.

On the contrary, let’s go all the way down.

In an instant, the house cooled down.

“oh. You can also adjust the temperature like this.”

You can even adjust the humidity.

In addition to this, various life convenience functions were installed.

“It’s better than using it at Ellandur’s mansion, right?”

Of course, in order to use all these features, a large amount of mana was required.

To be precise, he needed high-quality mana stones.

And even for the low-level mana stones, they needed a large amount of money, 200 gold per piece.

A feature that makes the belly button bigger than the stomach.

but.

“I don’t think there will be a problem for 10 years with one of these?”

The mana stones that Xian inserted were of the highest quality.

It was a mana stone that had condensed mana for at least a thousand years.

I thought I would have to replace it about once every 10 years.

So once every 10 years.

I thought I could go to the mine and pick up a mana stone.

“In this way, maintenance costs related to the house will not be large.”

Sian nodded his head very satisfied.

Various facilities that are prominent in Mobile Yeongju.

Building these facilities did not end there.

All facilities required maintenance and management,

Fortunately, this could also be solved with mobile lords.

And, as expected, he was also wise.

[Soldier Training Center Lv.1 Maintenance Cost] – 40 G (monthly).

Considering that the price of Soldier Training Center Lv.1 is 4,000 gold,

On average, about 1% of the purchase price was spent on maintenance each month.

On a single basis, it was not a very large amount.

However, this time, the facilities are as sophisticated as they replaced Ruben.

If you add up all the management costs of those countless facilities…

And if you think it goes out every month…

“How much will the management fee be?”

Because it is still under construction, the total management and maintenance costs have not been added.

I don’t know, but I’m sure it’s not that insignificant.

“Ah well, it’s because I can earn it again.”

But Xian didn’t care much.

As you say, you can earn that much again.

Now there are mana stone mines,

To be honest, the maintenance cost could have been covered by the revenue generated by the facility.

“It’s an initial investment.”

Xian went out of the house again.

Then, boom, the expressions of the floating people turned to Xian again.

Sian didn’t even bother looking for Amelia’s figure.

Eventually, Amelia found her eyes unfocused.

It seems as if the spirit has gone out of nowhere.

“Amelia? If you go to the training center, how many mana stones are there that I refined for practice? It was a little clumsy, so it seemed like it was an advanced level, perhaps because of the loss of magic power. Sell it.”

“······ hot!”

At Xian’s words that followed, Amelia suddenly came to her senses.

And he chewed over Xian’s words that he had just heard.

Xian’s request to sell mana stones.

Selling it wasn’t that difficult.

If it’s top-notch, it’ll be a bit of a problem, but

From what I heard, it seemed to be a high-level mana stone.

But I wondered if I had to sell it now.

He also didn’t bring about 100,000 gold a while ago.

No, I was embarrassed to even write the word a while ago.

It was just before.

Indeed, just before that, Amelia brought about 100,000 gold to Xian.

Then, all of a sudden, Xian starts to do things he can’t understand.

Wasn’t it just coming out after watching it?

100,000 gold is a huge amount indeed.

But why pay again… wait!

‘Stand, no way…!’

Suddenly, a crazy thought passed through Amelia’s mind.

It really, really made no sense.

No, it shouldn’t have made sense!

However, Amelia looked at Xian with unbelievable eyes.

Did he even read Amelia’s thoughts?

Xian slightly averted his gaze and said.

“That… I wrote it all down.”

ah.

With a small exclamation, Amelia’s mind went far away.

What are you really doing…

no, is it a person?

dump.

Amelia’s memory was momentarily cut off.

The cataclysm that began in Leuven.

Ruben changed a lot in an instant.

“Try this medicine for 3 days, and if it still doesn’t work, please visit me.”

“It’s the medicine Ellie prescribed, and it’s sure to get better! Thanks anyway!”

Those who were injured and sick recovered quickly at the treatment center.

“Hot hot! While hammering, suddenly sparks flew.”

“Be careful. Fortunately, there is a safety device in the smithy, so it’s a joke. You almost got into trouble.

A fire started to burn in the forge.

“Whoa…! But this place is full of demons, right?”

“So that is it. Even when digging for minerals, there is no dust.”

In the mine, I started digging for mana stones.

“Hmm… can’t we eat this crop too?”

“What, what? Didn’t you just plant that? By the way, sprouts have already sprouted?”

Crops were also grown on fertile farmland.

“Yosangta… If you run into them in the forest, they will attack you like they’re going to kill you. He’s strangely quiet here.”

“If these guys are properly tamed, they will be quite useful, right?”

Some monsters were being tamed at the Witchbeast Ranch.

“everyone! Eat and do it!”

“Come on, everyone, let’s eat! This is all about eating and living!”

At the restaurant, hot seaweed began to bloom.

Ruben develops from ruins to the appearance of a village.

“Hey! This is delicious!”

“Then? I live to eat a meal these days!”

“hahahaha!!”

The smiles did not leave the young people’s faces.

Reuben, the dead spirit territory that was no different from ruins.

Something called vitality began to circulate in Ruben.

And is it because of that?

《The satisfaction of the residents is starting to rise like crazy!!!》

There wasn’t a day when the mobile lord didn’t make a fuss.

A particularly livable brick house.

“yes···? Are you giving these houses to me, us…?”

When he said that he would distribute the livable brick house to the local people.

The young people were literally on the verge of crying.

“Uh, why…?”

“A house like this for us…?”

People who only wanted to survive in the dark forest.

However, it was a natural reaction to have such a wonderful house.

Not even a shabby shack,

A better house than most nobles live in.

“Seo, the reason you’ve been obsessed with money all these years…”

“All for us?”

“Other lords are busy filling their ships…”

In the end, Youngjimin really started to cry.

“Hyuk…! I will never doubt the lord anymore. never! Whoops…!”

“Me, me! It doesn’t matter if the lord is a demon! I want to be a devil worshiper!”

“Lord…!!!”

Tring!

《The residents of Yeongji are very satisfied! Extra wide! Super super wide! will increase!》

《The satisfaction level of the residents has reached the maximum level!》

And then

Tring!

《Achievement: ‘Our lord is really the best!!!’ Attainment!”

What an extraordinary feat, it was accomplished.

“Oh my God! Oh my gosh! What kind of magic did you use?!”

《The loyalty of the territories towards you has exceeded the measure of cause and effect!!》

“Hey, how on earth is this…!”

Tring!

《Achievement Completion Reward – ‘Our lord is the strongest in the universe!’》

《The villagers will now serve you almost like a god!》

《If you order them, they will even pretend to die!》

《The people of the territory will not betray you no matter what!》

《The people of the territory do not doubt anything you do!》

“······ What?”

Xian really wanted something like this.

In addition to the developing Ruben, the loyalty and motivation of the local people.

“Because I’m smart, how come things are going smoothly?”

It was truly omnipotent.

Of course, everything was still clumsy and lacking.

The treatment center lacked the necessary medicines.

The blacksmiths in the forge were immature,

The beasts went crazy when they left the ranch,

Mines, farmlands, and restaurants were in short supply of manpower.

Here, even the soldiers who will stop the monsters that attack without even trying.

In a word, the talent and manpower necessary for Ruben were sorely lacking.

Territory is, after all, a place where people gather and live

People are essential for development.

However, the population of Leuven was no more than that of a large village.

Gradually, Ruben also needed to receive new territories.

But who will try to come to Ruben, located in this dark forest,

More than anything, I didn’t know if the locals were trustworthy.

Recklessly receiving it when I needed it was worse than not receiving it.

And this is a part that cannot be solved with the mobile lord’s skill alone.

It was a problem that Xian had to step in and solve.

‘It’s still a long way.’

That’s why Ruben was still lacking in everything.

“Lord! Lord, why don’t you come and eat!”

as much as this moment.

Warm warmth was rising from Ruben.

#

The capital of the empire, Darkhan.

And the imperial palace located in Darkan.

“majesty. We wrote all the invitations prior to the National Foundation Day event.”

Conrad accepted the invitation from the chamberlain.

Conrad von Charlotte.

He was a member of the imperial family, as evidenced by his surname ‘Charlotte’.

On the continent, the only beings who could use the surname Charlotte were members of the imperial family of the Charlotte Empire.

And Conrad was not just a member of the imperial family.

Being a member of the imperial family was not simple, but

Conrad, among others, was also not a simple being.

Crown Prince of the Empire.

As the next emperor, he was a noble being responsible for the future of the next empire.

Conrad went through the invitations one by one.

Above the invitation was written information about the recipient.

Rechnar, Moltke, Berg, Bello…

They were prestigious families whose names alone were well known.

Below that, it contained the content of inviting the children of the family to the founding day event.

Talented people who will lead the empire in the future.

And Conrad, who will be in charge of the empire in the future.

In addition to them, there were also invitations to neighboring kingdoms and holy empires.

Conrad read the invitations one by one.

Then all of a sudden

Conrad’s hand stopped and trembled.

“hmm?”

Eventually, Conrad’s head tilted slightly.

Conrad checked the invitation several times and asked the chamberlain.

“I think one invitation is missing?”

Then the chief chamberlain made an expression that said it couldn’t be so.

“May I check for a moment?”

With Conrad’s permission, the chamberlain calmly examined the invitation.

An invitation to countless families.

However, the head of the chief chamberlain contained information about all the families.

“I have all of them without exception…”

Again, there was no problem.

Conrad, however, showed a look that could not have happened.

Before long, Conrad picked up three invitations.

An invitation to none other than Ellandur.

Conrad opened his mouth slowly.

“Aren’t there four sons of Elandur?”

By the way, Conrad had three invitations in his hand.

1 piece was missing.

“·······”

The chamberlain was momentarily speechless.

I couldn’t decide how to answer this.

That would be the case, because I purposely only made 3 invitations to Ellandur.

The chamberlain also knew that there were 4 children of Elandur.

Even so, only 3 invitations from Elandur were made.

“that···.”

The chamberlain could not easily open his mouth.

Conrad looked at the chamberlain silently.

He wouldn’t have known it was Conrad.

Because Elandur was a very famous family in the Empire.

Even if I didn’t want to know, I had no choice but to know.

“Is he not the son of Ellandur? I must have said I wanted to see the children of Ellandur.”

Even so, it means one thing.

“I will rewrite one invitation.”

“No. This is how it happened. Let me write one myself.”

Seeing Conrad like that, the chamberlain slightly raised his eyes in surprise.

An invitation handwritten by Conrad himself.

It was because, unlike a general invitation, the weight of the invitation was very different.

So, the chief chamberlain had no choice but to be concerned.

‘I’d rather not be able to sing…’

National Foundation Day events are not only for talented people across the empire,

It was a place of harmony where numerous kingdoms on the continent and distinguished guests from the Holy Empire gathered.

And Ellandur’s youngest child, Xian Ellandur.

He wasn’t the right person to be in this position.

Only last name is Elandur.

It was because it was really incompetent beyond imagination.

There were no rumors about him.

It was clear that he would just go back to shame and go back.

That’s why it’s better not to invite Xian.

I don’t know if I know the feelings of such a chief chamberlain.

Conrad slowly raised his quill.
