Episode 50 – Leap
A large empty lot located on one side of Ruben.
Kwarrr!
There was a vibration and the ground turned upside down.
《Young Jugwan Lv.1 is under construction.》
《D-100 until construction completion》
It was none other than the construction of Yeongjugwan.
The scale of the construction of the Lord’s House Lv.
Is it because of that?
[Instant Completion Ticket] – 200,000 G
The price of the instant completion ticket was really exorbitant.
Xian, of course, did not intend to complete immediately.
It was because there was no reason to complete it right away by paying 200,000 gold.
Xian pressed the X button on the notification window.
That moment.
Tring!
《hahahaha! If you find it hard to wait, why not try the hyeonjil!!
The mobile lord very boldly reminded me of the notification window.
I don’t know if it’s because of his mood, but he seemed quite excited.
‘Who is really inside?’
Xian let out a hearty laugh.
anyway.
He had to wait 100 days for the Yeongju Hall to be completed.
period of more than 3 months.
During that time, Leah’s mana stones were uncontrollable.
So I wanted to do something.
Fortunately, there were no major worries.
Because of its large scale, we did not have to wait for everything to be completed.
To be precise, there was a function that could be constructed first.
Facilities that have been completed are available for use.
Of course, I couldn’t receive the effect of the permanent residence.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t use that feature.
And Xian could arbitrarily control what to build first.
Haeseo Yeongju Hall’s barrier stone.
And the room where Xian will stay.
If these two were given priority, two were completed in about five days.
-Is this our house?
“yes.”
Sian nodded at Leah’s question.
For some reason, the word ‘our’ house was meaningful, but…
Well, it wasn’t because I was wrong.
– Our house is really spacious. Compared to the place where you lived before, you don’t kneel at all?
Leah is none other than Charlotte’s younger sister.
The place where Leah lived before was none other than the imperial palace.
In simple terms, it means that it is not inferior at all even compared to the imperial palace.
And that’s what Xian acknowledged.
Size and magnificence, of course.
And considering the other facilities, of course the imperial palace was a landslide victory.
But when you look at the life side only.
He wasn’t pushed back by the imperial palace at all.
– But, only the two of us live here?
“hmm···.”
Come to think of it, it was too big for two people to live in.
Even if Hans was invited in, the manor house was still spacious.
‘Shall I ask Amelia to live here too?’
Even though he is now a young man in Ruben.
In the past, she was the daughter of the Brahe family that ruled the western part of the Empire.
Even if I didn’t say it, there must have been some uncomfortable things in many ways.
After all, it would be nice if Amelia lived here too.
– And who will manage this spacious house?
“uh···.”
I was thinking about this as well.
Of course, Yeongju-gwan had a function of living convenience like a ‘livable brick house’ where Yeongji people live.
There was no problem with basic things like cleaning when using mana stones.
However, he needed someone who would manage the Yeongju-gwan overall.
Simply put, a butler.
It’s perfect if Hans does it, but…
Hans was currently busy as an administrator.
If you throw in the work of the butler…
‘I really think I’ll do it tomorrow.’
Eventually we had to hire someone else.
‘Kerner, that bastard…’
Xian shook his head.
Even so, I couldn’t have an assassin as my butler.
Of course, it was Conner who completely surrendered after being robbed by Leah.
Also, since Leah lived with Yeongjugwan, there was no big worry.
But would it make sense to bring an assassin into the permanent residence?
More than anything, Kerner had a lot of things to do like a slave.
In the end, there was no one else to do.
no, not exactly.
‘Even if there are no people in the manor, there are too few.’
Even though the population was low, it was quite short.
Due to numerous factors, Ruben was now able to develop to the extent that mobile lords can recognize it as a ‘village’.
However, the resulting population was extremely insufficient.
Xi’an’s smart facilities.
It was still operating with a minimum number of people.
Honestly, it wasn’t even the least.
The level of almost grinding the beggars.
Now was the time to get a new territories.
And that could not be helped with the mobile lord’s skill.
Mobile lords did not sell territories.
“hmm···.”
That’s why Xi’an’s worries only deepened.
Who will try to come to Leuven.
Because it was hard to accept it blindly because it came again.
That’s also the loyalty and satisfaction of the local people.
The current Yeongji people were in a situation where their loyalty and satisfaction to Xian was at Max.
But the new territories were not like that.
It is obvious that there will be problems with this.
‘What to do…’
The moment I was so deeply troubled.
-If you don’t have me! I’ll do it!
“yes? What are you talking about?”
– I mean the butler.
“Are you a butler?”
ah.
I was talking about that just a moment ago.
Eventually, Leah nodded and continued.
-huh! I’ve been wanting to do something like that for a long time.
Xian was dazed for a moment.
Leah wants to be a butler.
Leia was a member of the royal family no matter how she looked.
She is also Charlotte’s younger sister.
A butler didn’t suit Leah like that.
but.
-If you become a butler, you can meet a lot of people!
Is Ruben that good?
Leah said with a very excited face.
– Above all, Xian. While waiting on you, this and that…
“yes?”
-No, what… I’ll be the butler.
Leah taking off the pretentiousness.
Xian let out a small sigh.
I said that because he is Kyle’s successor.
Leah seemed to think that Xi’an was Kyle.
Kyle’s reincarnation?
He seemed to be thinking about this.
But Xian only shook his head.
Because there was absolutely no way that Sian was Kyle’s reincarnation.
Kyle is Exceed, a person who has reached the realm beyond that.
It was the strongest Arnaise, unique in the history of the continent.
If Cyan was Kyle’s reincarnation.
Xian’s talent could not have been so disastrous.
‘I don’t know why the mobile lord gave me the Mahonsura sword…’
anyway.
I understand why Leah has such a misunderstanding.
It wasn’t.
well, anyway.
I want to do that, but I can’t say no.
“Okay then.”
-really? Are we living together now?
Xian nodded.
#
Ruben returns to his original place.
Reuben, who continued to develop, was doing the landscape of the city before he knew it.
Of course, the mobile lord defined it as a ‘village’.
Still, it was enough to call it a city.
And in such a landscape of Ruben.
Quick!
Xian was performing assignments at the training center today as usual.
Wedge love!
A ghastly piercing sound cut through the air.
“This is the last…!”
And with the ensuing sword attack, iron puduk.
Xian collapsed to the floor.
Fluttering, trembling whole body.
“hahahaha…! hahahahaha…!”
Xian let out a heavy breath.
Even in the midst of being busy, Xi’an does it every single day.
He did not neglect to complete the task.
So many growth buffs and accumulated efforts.
Tring!
[Mahon Sura Sword (魔魂修羅劍) introductory progress rate 100% (+7.3%)]
Those efforts were finally able to bear fruit today.
“at las···!”
Xian stood up from his seat with an overwhelming feeling.
There were no significant changes in the body.
100% progress rate only shows the level of the current draft.
It means that you have reached that level.
It wasn’t like a sudden surge of strength.
There was just something to look forward to.
It is none other than the next step of the Mahonsura sword.
After completing the introductory level, the next level must be the beginner level.
that means that.
“Now I can learn Kyle’s true swordsmanship!”
Xian looked at the screen of his smartphone with excitement.
Then, soon! A new notification window popped up with a notification sound.
《Achievement ‘Beginner of Mahon Sura Sword’ achieved!》
《Additional special discount items are open!》
『[Lord Only] – Beginner Growth Support Advanced Package (100,000 G)
Component: Arnaise Beginner’s Martial Arts』
-This product can only be purchased once.
-This product is non-refundable when purchased as a super special discount product.
.
.
Tring!
《When you get stuck while proceeding, try the hyeonjil!》
“······ sh*t.”
Was this also wise?
Xian murmured involuntarily.
I wondered if I had somehow stopped at the ‘intermediate’ package.
Xian took a closer look at the package that came to mind.
Component Arnaise Beginner’s martial arts.
This time, he did not tell us what kind of Arnaise it was.
However, he did not know that it was Kyle’s martial art, the Mahonsura sword.
The problem is that the price is 100,000 gold.
Considering that the price of the intermediate package was 10,000 gold, it was a whopping 10 times the amount.
Well, if you can learn the true Mahon Sura sword, it couldn’t be said to be expensive.
However, it was an amount that could not be ignored.
Apparently, there was something else after the advanced package.
Top-notch package, something like this.
“Couldn’t it be… the next one won’t be 1 million gold?”
Enough… there was a possibility.
“ha···.”
Truly never-ending madness.
well, anyway.
Right now, I only had to pay 100,000 gold.
Xian checked the gold coins in his inventory.
[Owned Gold Coins – 270,000 G]
A total of 270,000 gold.
20,000 gold left over from the permanent residence.
200,000 gold obtained by robbing Kerner, the special assassin of Shadow Moon.
and.
[We met under unfortunate circumstances, but our Shadow Moon Guild is Xian Ellandur. I have no ill feelings toward you. However, there was an obvious mistake on our part. As an apology and compensation, whenever you want…]
It was the sum of the 50,000 gold sent by Diana, the guild leader of the Shadow Moon.
It wasn’t exactly Diana’s, it was Kerner’s property.
Diana sent this along with a letter.
He seemed to think that Kerner was dead.
“But there is no ill feeling…”
Actually, it’s just words.
It meant to have a good time.
Empire’s best intelligence guild, Shadow Moon.
And the shadow moon guild leader, Diana.
Sian didn’t know who Diana was.
I single-handedly subdued the underworld teeming with beasts.
An existence that gave rules to the underworld filled with chaos.
In simple terms, it could be said that he was a criminal who could communicate.
“Well, he’s a criminal anyway.”
Xian shrugged once.
well, anyway.
“I will grant you anything you want.”
I don’t really want anything.
if there is only one
As expected, there was only ‘gold’ to be wise.
The Shadow Moon Guild was a guild that ruled the underworld.
A gigantic guild that manages the events unfolding in the underworld.
Of course, it was dealing with what is called black money, and the scale cannot be estimated.
It was almost like a blank check.
“Then would you give me 3 million gold?”
Xian burst into laughter.
“But what?”
Xian wrote 3 million gold on the blank check… no, as a reply to the letter.
“You will judge yourself.”
I didn’t write it down with the thought that it would be given.
I honestly thought I wouldn’t give it away.
Even so, it is said that it is the shadow moon that dominates the underworld.
There was no way he would spend 3 million gold just to get the favor of one Xian.
Still, it didn’t matter much.
If you don’t give it to us, we’ll just go our separate ways.
“Because there’s nothing good about getting involved with the Shadow Moon.”
Even though they could communicate, they were criminals of the underworld after all.
To be honest, I didn’t want to get more entangled than Aria.
Sian shook his head.
And the token of the shadow moon.
“I don’t think there’s much use for this, but…”
just in case.
Xian put the token in his inventory.
anyway.
Xian now had enough money to pay 100,000 gold.
What is there to worry about?
Xian bought the advanced package of growth support without hesitation.
Hold on.
《Purchased!》
With a light touch, a notification window popped up that the purchase was complete.
100,000 gold disappears from the inventory before long.
Right then.
Whoaaagh!
A bright beam of light burst out in front of Xian’s vision.
By the time the light has gone quiet.
Xian could see a man standing in front of him.
A handsome man with a cold impression that seems to flow coldly.
Silver hair that exudes a dreamy yet mysterious atmosphere.
thousand years ago.
It was Kyle, who was called the strongest Arnaise.
Of course, it wasn’t the real Kyle.
It’s just a virtual being created by the mobile lord.
Sian looked at Kyle quietly.
Kyle calmly drew his sword.
That moment.
The air flow has changed.
The pressure was so heavy that it was difficult to even breathe.
It’s obviously a virtual Kyle that can’t affect reality.
Sian couldn’t move at Kyle’s presence.
Whoops…!
A black current entangled Kyle’s sword.
Eventually, it became a huge blade.
Square -.
A monotonous sound was heard.
the sound of blowing air.
Kyle’s sword moves.
Kwajik-.
The space has been torn apart.
Of course, it was Xi’an’s mistake.
Because there was no way the virtual Kyle could affect the real space.
However, Xian could feel the distinct sensation of the space being torn apart.
Kyle’s sword dances.
It slipped and disappeared.
While shining, it dazzled my eyes again.
Even so, it had the monstrous power of tearing everything it touched.
Kyle’s sword was simple.
Slashing and thrusting that Xian learned.
Kyle’s sword now visible did not deviate much from it.
But on a different level.
It cannot be simply explained by the concept of cutting and stabbing.
In that simple and concise one sword attack.
Xian had no idea how many changes had taken place.
A realm beyond Exceed.
The strongest Arnaise.
Kyle’s swordsmanship.
I’m sorry-!
It contained a wonder that I dare not define.
Kyle’s sword stops.
and.
“Heo-euk…! Heo-eok…!”
It was only then that Xian was able to exhale.
My heart throbs and I deny the sight I have captured with my eyes.
Faced with an out-of-standard power, the spirit scatters in disarray.
and.
Tring!
《Beginning the beginner course of the Demon Soul Sword.》
《Tasks are given according to the level of the manager.》
Before long, ‘Loading…’ A window popped up.
And after a while, a new notification window popped up again.
《Demonstrate Mahonsura sword in correct posture [0 / 1,000]》
[Mahon Sura Sword (魔魂修羅劍) Beginner Progression Rate 0%]
“crazy···.”
Xian muttered that.
That would be too.
“How do you do that?”
How am I supposed to follow that!
It made no sense.
It was even ‘correct’.
Looking at the previous introductory progress, if it wasn’t accurate, it wouldn’t even count.
It’s impossible to even comprehend what Kyle did just now.
How do you follow that with the correct posture!
A whopping 1,000 times!
“Never!”
can not do it.
never
That is impossible not only in Xian, but also in anyone on the continent.
Kai? Durac?
Don’t be funny!
In front of Kyle, the Master was really nothing more than ‘something like that’.
Even the same Arnaise, Charlotte, wouldn’t be able to do that!
‘Isn’t that it?’
anyway.
The Mahonsura sword that Kyle saw was just as amazing.
That’s why it was impossible to follow that.
“Should I…?”
Xian had to
“ha···.”
How much more do I have to go through hardships?
Fortunately, Charlotte’s perks have stacking growth buffs, so I’m going to try it.
I have to do it literally.
“But if you do it step by step, you will reach it again.”
because it has been so far
Xian made up his mind.
Right then.
“Younglord. You were here too.”
Amelia’s voice came from one side.
the place you looked at.
As expected, Amelia was approaching Xian.
It seems like something is going on.
Xian put the smartphone in his arms and said.
“What’s going on?”
“That’s about the troll treatment you talked about last time. This… I think it will be difficult to sell right now.”
“huh? why?”
Sian asked, and Amelia immediately spoke.
“Unlike other beasts, trolls have a lot of money to make. Not only the blood, but also the bones and skin of trolls. Fingernails and toenails are also quite expensive. So I have to dismantle and manage all of this…”
“however?”
“There is too little manpower.”
“ah.”
It was only then that Xian could nod his head.
“In the past, it was somehow possible, but as many facilities were built in the manor this time, each person had their own responsibility…”
“Can we mobilize for a moment?”
“It requires constant management, so it has to be mobilized for quite a while. The only manpower that can be mobilized is soldiers at most…”
Even those soldiers could not be fully recruited because they had to be trained.
Simply put, manpower.
In the end, what was to come had to come.
In the meantime, I’ve been holding up well.
Eventually it started to creak.
and.
“There’s no way right now…”
I had no idea what to do right now.
“It’s not a big problem. It’s just that it’s difficult to sell a corpse right now. But don’t worry too much because I can handle it as much as I can.”
Amelia smiled as if to trust her.
Amelia, the daughter of Brahe’s guild, the Grand Troupe of the Western Empire.
Again, this part was very reliable.
“No matter how much I think about it, you are much better than the saintess.”
“······ hot!”
Then Amelia took a deep breath.
And the way his face turned red and his eyes rolled around seemed to be broken again.
Right then.
“young master?”
Hans’ voice came from one side.
As expected, Hans was walking towards Xian.
And look at the expression…
Hans also seemed to have something going on.
I want something else this time.
Even though he was smart, he was a Ruben who did not cease to have incidents.
“What’s going on?
At Xian’s question, Hans cautiously opened his mouth.
“The Lucas and Graysons I mentioned last time.”
“ah. Are you back?”
Xian asked back with a bright smile.
The two of them left to investigate the mighty witch beast nestled in the depths of the forest.
It was a car that I was worried about because it never came.
I felt like I was back this time.
“Are you two okay?”
“That is···.”
Hans blurted out his words with a puzzled expression.
“What is it? Are you seriously hurt?”
“That’s it…”
As Hans continued to blur his words, Amelia’s broken expression turned white.
Lucas and Amelia.
Because the two have been together for a very long time.
“I think it would be quicker to see it in person.”
Hans’s answer continued.
Then Hans moved his steps.
Sian took Amelia and followed Hans.
Where I followed Hans like that.
Xian could immediately understand why Hans was flustered.
Lucas and Grayson were not there.
Instead, a being stood there.
“Oh oh···! Is this really a building made by humans? How could humans reach this level…!”
Quite different from the people of Leuven.
No, quite different from humans.
Small stature and strong impression.
An impressive presence with a shaggy beard.
“ah! Are you the lord of Ruben that Lucas and his human friend Grayson were talking about?”
A race of artisans.
mountain race.
“Dwarf…?”
He was none other than a dwarf.
