Episode 81 – A Feast of Strings!(2)
Inside the carriage heading to Leuven.
Amelia sat alone in the rattling carriage.
Now that we have been running non-stop in the West.
The time has come to arrive in Leuven.
Amelia gently opened the window in the carriage.
Then, the scenery of the forest passed by quickly through the window.
A very familiar landscape.
It was a scene that could be seen in a dark forest.
It wasn’t that far from the West to Leuven, though.
It was Ruben who arrived faster than expected because he had been coming almost without a break.
“I still have a little more to go.”
Still, I was able to come back much faster than when I went.
It was because most of the items brought from Leuven were sold.
The load was light, so I had no choice but to speed up.
And since most, not most, of them were sold, there was practically no luggage.
“really···.”
That’s why Amelia involuntarily laughed.
Because I knew how absurd that was.
To be precise, the profit earned by selling all the goods taken from Leuven.
It was because he knew better than anyone that the profits made no sense at all.
8.3 million gold.
Is this really the amount of money that can be earned by going up?
It was something that had never happened before, even when Amelia was at the top of Brahe.
Even if I’ve earned 1 million gold units in one trip.
8.3 million gold was an amount that could not even be dreamed of.
And if Brahe’s upper house couldn’t do it, it’s safe to say that no one else in the empire could.
Perhaps this is the first time in continental history?
It was Amelia who even thought about it.
Amelia slowly turned her head.
and beyond the window.
A short distance from Amelia’s carriage.
Another wagon was running there.
and.
– Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Do you do tricks like this? Where did all the spirit of the past go!
Xian’s strange voice came from inside.
“… what the hell are you doing?”
Amelia wondered what she was really doing.
I’ve been stuck in the carriage since a while ago, muttering something.
Even during mealtimes, he did not come out of the carriage.
In my mind, I wanted to look inside that carriage.
Well… I had a rough guess.
-Where are you trying to be more squeamish! uh? Try harder, you son of a b*tch!!
It looked like he was talking to someone.
But who are you talking to!
Xian was the only one in that carriage.
It’s not like I’m talking to some kind of ghost.
And it seemed that it was not a conversation, but a fight.
“Could it be Leah’s sister?”
I thought so for a moment, but I couldn’t.
Because Leah couldn’t get far away from Ruben.
Although it was a dark forest, it was still a bit far from Ruben.
So it was clear that Xian was muttering to himself,
It was also certain that Xian would fight alone.
– Huh? Are you really picky?
To be honest, I felt like I was insane.
“······ I don’t know.”
Amelia shook her head.
from long experience.
The concept of common sense should not be pushed into Xian.
That’s why I knew it would be easier to give up thinking.
Amelia just stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.
How much time had passed like that?
A familiar landscape was reflected in the distance.
A landscape of Leuven.
“You have arrived!”
Amelia’s face was wide open.

“Run, run! Brick Road Lv.4》(2,000G per 100m)
Woo woo woo woo.
《Waaanryo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh !!!!》
Xi’an with military installations.
While I was away, I upgraded all kinds of production facilities.
The reason was simple.
I must have had a lot of bar gold.
This was because upgrading the production facility also increased the output.
And the higher the output, the higher the number of items that can be sold.
Only the gold earned from the westbound trip this time is a whopping 8.3 million gold.
Even if you doubled here, you could have earned a whopping 16.6 million gold!
Of course, this time, the virtue of ripping off the crown prince was great, so it shouldn’t have gone to that extent.
However, even if Amelia’s 1.3 million gold was counted, it was a whopping 2.6 million gold.
So Xian upgraded all production facilities to Lv.4.
I was able to get an effect that increased about 3 times compared to now.
In many ways, the concept of investment is clear.
Xian literally poured out gold.
How much money did you spend like that?
“Whoa…!”
Xian let out a slow, deep breath.
The banquet of Hyunjil that continued without hesitation.
Unfortunately, the mobile lord hasn’t gone out of his mind yet.
The level strengthened by the temporary inspection was considerable.
Xian calmly cooled his head.
And so far, I’ve confirmed the sensible amount.
The amount spent that way was approximately… 4.5 million gold.
“crazy.”
Xian screamed involuntarily.
The amount of money that a family of four can live on for 12,500 years has evaporated in an instant!
Xian forcibly grabbed his trembling hand.
Eventually, I checked the remaining gold.
[Current Gold Coins] – 4,570,000 G
“crazy!”
And once again I screamed involuntarily.
Even after spending 4.5 million gold, there was a whopping 4.57 million gold left!
“Ahhh!!”
Xian unknowingly shuddered and trembled.
But this time it wasn’t just feelings of joy and joy.
The collapse that 4 million gold was blown away in an instant.
Even so, the feeling of joy that 4.57 million gold remained.
“aaa!”
This complex and strange feeling was impossible to explain with the concept that exists in the world!!
And it seems that the mobile lord was the same.
Tring!
《Ahhhhh !!!!
A scream, not a scream, erupted from the notification window.
I endured 4.5 million gold.
Nevertheless, the frustration of having 4.57 million gold left seemed to coexist.
Like that, Xi’an and the mobile lord burst into screams that weren’t screaming at each other.
And how much time has passed?
“Whoa…!”
Xian was able to come to his senses again.
“For now, hyeonjil is put on hold for a while.”
And the hyeonjil was put on hold for a while.
Because Xian also needed to calm down for a while.
Most of all, the things that are necessary are wise.
I needed to cool my head while looking at something else.
And the other thing is this.
[Prestige Point Shop]
It’s a reward for the territory-linked quest cleared in the West this time.
Arnaise Perks in the Prestige Point Shop.
Xian immediately accessed the reputation point shop.
[Current privileges]
① ＜Charlotte’s Pride＞
-Enhanced existing effects (10,000 P)
– Added new effects (10,000 P)
② ＜Morcrew’s Flame＞
-Enhanced existing effects (10,000 P)
– Added new effects. (10,000 P)
“hmm···.”
Xian confirmed the reputation points he had.
[Current Prestige Points] – 20,100 P
20,100 points.
Either strengthening the special effects or adding effects.
It was a point that could be done twice.
So Xian was quite worried.
“Should I strengthen it? Should I add an effect?”
Because I didn’t know what to do.
Reputation points were the first item to be opened this time.
What is the strengthening effect?
Or what effects are added.
I couldn’t figure out any of them.
So it would be nice if you kindly let me know.
This f*cking mobile lord didn’t even tell us anything.
However, it could not be written randomly.
It’s a reputation point that I got, but I’m saying I’m going to use it at random!
Above all, those reputation points were equal to the value of 100G per 1P.
In other words, one click was equivalent to 1 million gold!
“hmm···.”
Xian pondered over and over again.
conclusion thus reached.
“One more effect. Let’s try strengthening it.”
It wouldn’t hurt to taste it once in a while.
What is the added effect?
Also, what is the level of the reinforcement effect?
It seemed like I needed to figure out each one at a time.
Having made a decision, Xian immediately went into action.
“Let’s start by adding effects.”
The target is none other than ＜Charlotte’s Pride＞.
Xian pressed the Add Effect button.
But why?
Hold on.
《Kwumeaeaeaeaeaeak!!!》
The state of the floating notification window didn’t look very good.
Is this also treated as cash?
Or is it a continuation of the previously insane state?
well, anyway.
Xian confirmed the added effect.
[Effect 4] – You can purchase B-grade martial arts at the Knight Training Center in the Territory!
“B-class martial arts?”
Martial arts meant something like swordsmanship.
And look at the word invincible.
It seemed to sell various things such as swordsmanship as well as spearmanship.
“Are you okay?”
No, it wasn’t good enough, it was just what was needed.
In particular, it was absolutely necessary to create the Knights.
Currently, the soldiers have learned the practice of aura.
However, he was unable to learn proper swordsmanship.
Swordsmanship is a way to utilize the power of Aura.
Swordsmanship was as important as the aura training method.
Without having to go far, Xian is learning the Demon Soul Sword (魔魂修羅劍).
From nob le mt l. co m
Just looking at this, I could see how important high-level swordsmanship was.
So Xian was also thinking about what to do about it.
But if you can buy it with cash like this…
Class B martial arts.
Looking back on my experiences so far… I don’t think it’s a level to be taken lightly.
but.
“If this effect is enhanced, can I purchase an A-class weapon instead of that B-class?”
As a guess, it was.
But I wasn’t sure if that was right.
The remaining points are 10,100 points.
Whether it was adding an effect or strengthening it, it could only be done once.
Xian thought for a moment.
But anyway, the next thing was to try to strengthen the effect.
“Let’s do it.”
Xian strengthened the effect of ＜Charlotte’s Pride＞, which was added right away.
Hold on.
《Kumaeaeaeaeae?!?!?!? Done oh oh oh clothes!!??!》
The enhanced effect came to mind with the notification window of the mobile lord almost having seizures.
[Enhancement Effect 4] – You can purchase A-grade martial arts at the Territory Knight Training Center!
“oh?”
As expected, I was able to purchase A-class martial arts.
That’s why Xian looked quite surprised.
“Aren’t you both unexpected?”
or add effects. or enhance the effect.
Because it boasted better performance than expected.
“for a moment. At this level…?”
Then, a thought popped into Xian’s mind.
“Can I exchange gold for reputation points?”
The bar I had right now had only 100P reputation points.
Reputation points could be exchanged for gold.
100G per 1P of reputation points.
To get 10,000 points, you had to pay 1 million gold.
It was a crazy price indeed.
However, at this level, 1 million gold was not a waste at all.
It wasn’t just ＜Charlotte’s Pride＞.
It is none other than ＜Morcrew’s Flame＞.
[Effect 2] – Equipment made in the smithy of the territory where there is a blacksmith who is more than a skilled worker has B-grade quality!
It’s something I thought about last time, but if you strengthen this, it’s A-grade quality.
Also, if you strengthen it, doesn’t it mean that you have S-grade quality?
“then···.”
I was able to arm all the soldiers in the territory with S-grade equipment!
And that’s all.
Xian’s S-grade armor, of course.
SS-grade swords could also be randomly strengthened!
“crazy!”
It was unconditional.
It was unconditional!
“In the meantime, I need to upgrade my A-class martial arts to S-class martial arts again.”
Therefore, the required reinforcement is 3 times.
Therefore, the required gold is also 3 million gold.
But with 4.57 million gold now, that was enough!
Xian converted 3 million gold into 30,000 reputation points without hesitation.
Koo Woo-wook.
OK.
《······!??!?!!?!!?!!?》
For some reason, the notification window to purchase did not even come to mind.
Could it be that I didn’t think that I would be able to purchase reputation points with gold?
《······!!!!!?!···?!!!······!?!
Only strange notification pops up.
No matter how long I waited, nothing else was said.
“what. What happened?”
Xian tapped his smartphone and showed it.
And just then.
《Quick ssong believe it!!》
What… A strange notification window popped up.
Want something for a while.
Tring!
[Overload detection due to causal runaway.]
[The connection to the server has been lost. Mobile lord ends.]
And then the mobile lord was turned off.
“huh? for a moment! I haven’t upgraded the perks yet! wake up! Pass out a little later, you bastard!”
Xian groaned involuntarily.

A view of Leuven from a distance.
Amelia threw herself out the window.
A commanding territory located in the dark forest.
It was a place that others were reluctant to approach.
It was a place that felt like home to Amelia.
I could still see Ruben’s figure in my distant vision.
Amelia’s heart was already pounding.
Amelia threw herself out the window.
I waited for the cool breeze to get closer to Ruben.
-huh? for a moment! I haven’t upgraded the perks yet! wake up! Pass out a little later, you bastard!
At that moment, Xian’s voice came from the carriage next to him.
It looks like something else is going on…
-what? inspection? Holy sh*t! I changed it to reputation points, but do you have to check it out? Hey!
Amelia shook her head.
The scenery of Ruben that is getting closer and closer.
“······ huh?”
For a moment, Amelia’s head tilted.
The scenery of Ruben seen up close was… something strange.
It wasn’t that strange.
No, should I describe this as strange?
That would be too.
“That’s Ruben…?”
Because he was completely different from the Ruben in Amelia’s memories!
stupid mind.
Kururrr!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Quaaa!
Beyond Ruben, the entire Dark Forest was turning upside down.
Normally, I would say something about money management but considering that MC needs his territory to be strong enough to defeat/fend off Ellandur, I suppose upgrading defenses, smithy, and training centres as soon as possible is important.
