The Wise Lord chapter 82

Chapter 82 – Ruben of Rebirth (1)

Amelia stood there blankly, like a half-mad person.

And the soldiers were not much different.

“Uh, what is that…?”

“Is it Ruben? Is that Ruben…?”

“There’s no way Ruben would be like that…?”

The soldiers were also looking at Amelia’s view with disbelief on their faces.

It was a scene that would be stunning for a complete stranger to see, but Amelia and the soldiers did not.

Because I’ve already faced similar scenery three times.

This was already the 4th time.

That’s why I’m not used to it now, so I’m going to pass it over without a big deal.

Kururrr!

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

Quaaa!

This time, beyond Ruben, the entire Dark Forest was turned upside down!

Cataclysm? grooming? Evolution?

There was nothing to explain.

Ruben is being reborn.

It was desirable to define it this way.

“·······”

“·······”

“·······”

Amelia and the soldiers had nothing to say.

The carriage heading for Ruben has stopped in an instant.

Right then.

“Do you check and bounce like this?”

An angry voice came from one side.

the place you looked at.

There, Xian was coming down from the carriage, frowning and frowning.

And something small in Xian’s hand.

Xian was manipulating that something and shouting something.

The eyes of Amelia and the soldiers naturally turned to Xian.

And whether you know the gaze of such people or not.

Hold on. Guguk.

“Aren’t you getting up right now?”

Xian wakes up the mobile lord who fainted.

hit the smartphone screen.

Does this make sense!

I exchanged 3 million gold to strengthen the perks.

This bastard mobile lord passed out before he could even strengthen his perks.

In a word, 3 million gold was eaten.

Of course, the exchanged reputation points would not disappear.

Still, isn’t it tied up right now!

Kuguguk.

Xian continued to press the screen of his smartphone.

However, as expected, the mobile lord was not executed.

Specifically, ‘Loading···.’ The screen did not go beyond the phrase.

And then it’s over.

[Urgent maintenance is in progress. The service is unavailable during maintenance.]

[Check Content: Causal Congestion Stabilization]

[We are very sorry for the inconvenience.]

“sh*t!”

Xian shouted harshly and turned off the screen of his smartphone.

This time, it’s not a temporary inspection, but an emergency inspection window.

But whether it’s a temporary inspection.

Whether it’s an emergency inspection or a nabal.

It wasn’t this.

It wasn’t like this.

Isn’t it safe to say that the mobile lord did a maintenance check!

This time I couldn’t just skip it.

I had to get the maintenance compensation at any cost.

Of course, I don’t know what I’ll give you as a maintenance reward…

Xian shouted loudly over the screen of the smartphone that had turned off.

“I’m as mad as 30 million gold right now!!”

Of course, there was no way the fainted mobile lord could hear it.

However, Xian shouted as if he wanted someone to hear him.

“I’m as mad as the SSS-grade gear set right now!!!”

Even so, the resentment in the chest that does not calm down.

Xian shook his head and turned around.

Then he shouted at Amelia, who was staring at him blankly.

“Amelia!”

“······ yes yes?”

Sian’s cry brought Amelia back to her senses.

gaze.

Why?

Xian seemed to be very angry.

why are you angry?

Did he really fight someone in the wagon?

But with whom?

Whether or not he knew Amelia’s question.

Sian shouted at Amelia.

“I’m as mad as 300,000 reputation points right now! Did you hear carefully?”

“yes yes···?”

Amelia couldn’t figure out how to answer this.

First of all, you didn’t even know what 300,000 reputation points were.

‘Didn’t he say that he was as angry as 30 million gold at first?’

It seemed like he said he was as angry as the SSS grade equipment set a while ago.

“·······”

What do you mean by that!

Amelia really didn’t know what to say.

Xian swung his head and turned around, swearing at the soldiers with blank eyes.

“You guys listen carefully too! I now have a growth support superlative package. And I’m as angry as the Grand Master Package, let alone the Master Package!”

I’m not sure if it exists.

Xian muttered softly behind his back.

And again.

The soldiers didn’t know how to answer this.

Whether or not you know the feelings of such people.

Xian put the smart phone into his arms.

“Try not to give proper inspection compensation after checking it out!”

I’m going to collect even 100 million gold and blow up the cause and effect.

Sian exhaled vigorously and sighed.

Then, he calmed down his agitated heart.

Anyway, the check was done.

Because there was nothing Xian could do right now.

So calmed down to some extent.

Xian calmly raised his head and looked at the scenery of Ruben in the distance.

Kururrr!

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

Quaaa!

A sight beyond Ruben where the entire Dark Forest is turned upside down.

At first glance, even the sound of screaming can be heard as the echo of the forest…

It seemed that the people of Ruben were very surprised.

well, anyway.

Smart things were being built on time.

Xian looked at the scene with satisfaction and then slowly turned his head.

Then he called to Amelia, who still looked blank.

“Amelia.”

“Ah yes.”

Amelia suddenly came to her senses and answered.

Sian asked Amelia.

“Would there be no problem going west now?”

Amelia nodded as if it were natural.

“Sure. The situation in the west has also stabilized. Above all, the reputation of our Ruben Brahe upper house is very good. For the time being, I think it would be better to go west only.”

“Good good.”

Sian nodded his head very satisfied.

Then he spoke to Amelia again.

“Then, as soon as you return to Leuven, prepare for the next trip up. Anyway, this time the output will be about 3 times higher than the last time, so be prepared. Oh. I know that because I won’t follow you anymore. Oh right. It will take some time for the buildings to be completed. hmm···.”

“yes···? What’s your next trip?”

Amelia tilted her head for a moment.

Of course, it was right to prepare for the next upsurge.

Amelia also had no intention of ending it with this one ascent.

and what

It could have been that Xian didn’t follow him anymore.

It was a little regretful, but… well.

With Ruben’s soldiers, there was no problem escorting them.

But as soon as I return to Leuven, the next trip?

Usually, once the ascending was finished, there was a break.

I also had to fix things that needed to be repaired.

Also, I needed to rest my tired body.

Above all, it took time to gather the items for the next trip.

Well, that’s the normal situation.

There were also cases where they went straight up.

Either too much stock or too much stock.

Or I’m running out of gold right now─.

pop.

Amelia’s thinking stopped.

That’s just a thought that just occurred to me.

“Stop, stand, stand, stand, stand, no way…!!!!”

Amelia’s expression twisted from surprise to surprise.

From nob le mt l. co m

Jjoeok, my gaping mouth won’t close.

An unknown being that shouldn’t exist.

The giddy feeling of facing it consumed Amelia’s mind.

Amelia looked at Xian slowly.

no.

It won’t be.

How much money did you earn from this trip?

It was 8.3 million gold.

It was 8.3 million gold!

It was an amount that wouldn’t be too strange to add the word astronomical to the fact that it made no sense.

But now this repertoire.

Especially Xian’s expression right now!

please. God please.

Please don’t let these horrible thoughts pop into your head become reality.

If this horrific thought were indeed real.

Amelia didn’t seem to have the courage to live in this world any longer.

Amelia looked at Xian with trembling eyes.

Sian quietly avoided Amelia’s gaze.

And Xian’s mouth opens at the end.

“I’m almost done—”

dump.

Before Xian could finish his words, there was a sound of something collapsing.

the place you looked at.

Amelia was lying on the floor like a doll with a string off.

#

The capital of the empire, Darkhan.

And the imperial palace located in Darkan.

“majesty. Princess Elena has come to visit.”

“Carefully.”

To the report of the chief chamberlain, the prince, Conrad, responded straight away.

The chief chamberlain walked backwards out of the office with his head slightly bowed.

How much time had passed like that?

Suddenly, the door of the office opened and a woman appeared.

Long hair braided back.

Blonde hair that resembles sunlight.

It created a bright atmosphere by itself.

Contrary to that atmosphere, the impression itself was quite cold.

Is it because of such a contrasting atmosphere?

The different charms were being further amplified.

It’s just a step, a step.

Elena von Charlotte.

She was Conrad’s younger sister and princess of the empire.

“Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

Elena, who served in front of Conrad, showed an example.

Even though Elena is Conrad’s older sister.

Conrad is the crown prince.

He was the second-in-command of the empire and the next emperor.

No matter how Elena was, it was an existence that could not be easily dealt with.

however.

“Anyway, that stubbornness. Didn’t I tell you to just call me older brother when the two of you were together?”

“······ all right.”

Elena reluctantly replied.

Conrad shook his head.

Elena was always like that.

It’s okay to show a little cuteness like a younger sister.

Is the perception of being a princess strong?

Even if he was conscious, he was too ignorant.

“Even a member of the imperial family still needs a bit of finiteness. Men also like that side of women. Not many guys will like you if you just show that strong side of yourself.”

Of course, when it comes to the princess, the people she wants to take are far and wide.

Besides, the appearance is also great, so I didn’t have to worry about it.

Still, it was true that I was worried as an older brother.

“I’m going to marry the person my brother points out anyway, so I don’t have to worry about it.”

It was a sad reality, but that was the case.

The fate that the princess should bear.

And Elena had no intention of blaming that fate.

I wish I could enjoy my rights as a princess.

You should assume your obligations to him.

It wasn’t just her status as a princess.

Most of the women from prestigious aristocratic families were like that.

The fate of an arranged marriage.

This was the world of the aristocrats.

No love or romance.

A cruel world where only interests are intertwined.

So, in fact, even if Elena got married, it should have been done right away.

Even so, the reason I haven’t married yet is simple.

“No matter how many times I say it, I won’t pursue a marriage with someone you don’t like. Hasn’t His Majesty always said this?”

Emperor and Crown Prince.

It was because both of them cared about Elena.

To be honest, there have been times when we talked about getting married.

And Elena was thinking of choosing a suitable partner and getting married.

In the first place, Elena had never felt love.

Love is a temporary feeling anyway.

In the end, it was common for couples to live with affection.

So, whether it’s a marriage of convenience.

Elena didn’t care much.

If only it could help the empire and the imperial family.

However, the emperor and the crown prince strongly opposed it.

It’s a waste to send Elena or something.

Of course, even though he was a son-in-law, it was useless.

If that’s the case, why did you bring up the marriage story?

“I want you to be with a man you really like.”

To be precise, he must have known Elena’s true intentions.

well anyway

“What did you call me for?”

“It’s nothing else… I called you here because I wanted to ask you a favor.”

At Conrad’s words, Elena nodded.

In any case, Elena is currently enjoying her rights.

It was a situation where there was no duty to shoulder.

Elena felt responsible for the rights she enjoyed.

So, I want to help the imperial family and the empire as much as possible.

She was doing what she could as a princess.

in that sense now.

Elena had no intention of refusing Conrad’s request either.

however.

“I want you to deliver this letter to Xian Ellandur.”

“······ yes?”

This request was a bit… strange.

Elena blankly looked at Conrad.

And a letter in Conrad’s hand.

Elena suddenly accepted the letter.

And when I checked, the seal on the letter was not that of the imperial family.

It wasn’t even the crown prince’s seal.

“The Holy Empire…?”

Holy Empire, Lutea.

It also had a seal symbolizing a saint?

As expected, Conrad immediately continued.

“This is a letter from a saintess to Xian Ellandour.

“…?”

Elena’s mind was suddenly confused.

A saintess sends a letter?

No, because I left it all in the first place.

“Why is my brother doing this…?”

Why does Conrad have this letter?

Finally, Conrad answered.

“Recently, I had something to ask the saintess about the devil. I received two sheets in reply, and this is one of them. He asked me to pass it on to Xian.”

“·······”

Elena was speechless for a moment.

devil.

The demon that disappeared a thousand years ago is resurrected.

It was an unknown fact that would cause confusion, but Elena knew.

It seemed that Conrad had asked the saintess something about the devil.

When the saintess sent that reply, she sent this too.

‘No, but that’s the case.’

Why did you send it to Conrad?

From nob le mt l. co m

Just send it directly to a person named Xian.

As if he knew about Elena’s question.

Conrad opened his mouth slowly.

“He said he would ask for money if he sent it himself.”

“······ yes?”

Elena tilted her head.

“Even though I understand it at first glance… I don’t know the details because I don’t know the contents of the letter. Well, since I also received help from the saintess this time, I want to repay it. You go and tell them.”

But Conrad only burst out laughing.

No other explanation was given.

Elena quietly looked down at the letter.

A letter to be delivered to Xian Ellandur.

Elena knew Xian’s name.

First of all, I couldn’t know the name of Ellandur.

There are rumors that he is an idiot and an immoral person related to him.

Iza who was chosen by the Zodiac Sword.

Even being called the hero of the West this time.

In a word, he was a man who did not know what was real.

I have to deliver this letter to such a man.

Elena asked Conrad again.

“But why do I…?”

“I want to go, but I have something urgent to discuss with Your Majesty…”

I didn’t ask for that.

No matter how much Xian is Elandur.

Conrad was the Crown Prince.

If you need anything, just call the imperial palace.

Does it make sense to go directly to it?

Even Ruben…?

It was the first time I heard Youngji.

It looked like a manor located in the dark forest.

The princess visits the dark forest?

Elena quietly looked at Conrad.

“Hmm. Xian did a big job this time, so he wasn’t sorry to call him.”

Meanwhile, Conrad subtly avoided Elena’s eyes.

Well… that’s not wrong.

Still, there seemed to be something kanky.

Exactly, it seemed that there was something else.

“Do you have any other purpose?”

“Ugh! for a different purpose? Do I have to put my personal feelings into the ambassadors of the empire?”

Conrad started to get angry for no reason.

Elena looked at Conrad like that and nodded slowly.

What did you do to ask more when you said that?

“Can I just deliver the letter and come?”

“Well, not necessarily like that. You can come slowly and enjoy the wind. Thinking of going on a trip, slowly look around and see what the territory called Ruben is like…”

“Wasn’t it urgent?”

Then Conrad paused and walked away.

But that’s for a while.

“It is only urgent to deliver the letter. As long as you deliver the letter, there is no rush after that.”

He quickly changed his expression and responded.

Elena shook her head once and rose from her seat.

“Then I’ll leave right now.”

“I will attach the 2nd Knights of the Royal Knights with Lord Yale as an escort.”

The 2nd Knights Order of the Royal Knights is a knights order directly under the crown prince.

Even the leader of the 2nd Knights, Lord Yale, was a master intermediate level.

No matter how dark the forest was, there was no problem at all.

“Oh, and since I didn’t tell Xian, you should know that.”

“yes? what is that…?”

Elena made a puzzled expression.

Conrad, however, only gave a smirk.

“Then let’s go.”

Elena went out of the office feeling bewildered.

#

Sian looked over at the stunned Amelia.

Was it quite a shock?

No matter what I did, Amelia wouldn’t wake up.

So, I wondered if there was something wrong with my body.

Fortunately, it didn’t sound like the sound of breathing.

From nob le mt l. co m

Just fainted from shock.

Still, I thought I should take her to Ellie once.

Sian took the fainting Amelia inside Ruben.

Ruben reached like that.

“Hey, what is this!!”

“A demonic attack!!”

As expected, it wasn’t too fussy here either.

Hagisa, while I was doing my usual business.

All of a sudden, Ruben turned upside down, so it was even weirder not to be surprised.

Even this time, Cyan was not in Ruben.

Because of that, it seemed that the confusion among the people of the territory was increased.

Xian went inside Ruben with the soldiers.

“uh? Hey, it’s the lord!”

“Lord?”

“where? where?”

The Yeongji people who discovered Xian shouted in surprise.

It spread throughout Ruben like an epidemic, and eventually all the territories learned of Xian’s return.

and.

“Yeong-Joo Nii-Im!!!”

“Ruben is weird!!!”

The territories came rushing to Xian!

Then, like children talking to their parents, each of them started shouting.

“Look over there! membrane! I just feel bad all alone!”

“This time the lord wasn’t even there!”

“Isn’t this really Ruben alive?!”

Sian laughed involuntarily.

I’m just trying to get used to it now.

Hagisa, considering the amount of money invested this time, it was understandable enough.

‘It will take some time for the buildings to be completed.’

A landscape where the whole of Leuven seems to be completely reborn.

This time, all facilities were upgraded to Lv.4, so it was all the more so.

I thought it would probably take 2-3 months.

However, the time left in Xian and Ruben is about 5 months.

‘hmm···.’

Should I buy an immediate completion ticket with the remaining gold after the emergency inspection?

However, it would cost a lot of gold to complete all those facilities immediately…

It was the moment when I thought so.

Tring!

Suddenly, I heard a notification sound from my smartphone.

‘what?’

Could it be that the inspection has already been completed?

Xian checked his smartphone in his arms.

and.

[It is expected that the maintenance time will be longer due to excessive causal congestion.]

[We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by the long maintenance.]

[We will inform you of the compensation due to the emergency maintenance, so please refer to it.]

Below that, there was an item about inspection compensation.

《The right to immediate completion of all facilities and research purchased prior to inspection.》

“······ huh?”

That moment.

Kwaaa

All over Ruben…

A huge storm began to rage.
