Episode 88 – Endless status (1)
Lord Castle Lv.2 located in Ruben.
And Xi’an’s office located in it.
Xian sat down on a chair and took out his smart phone.
A mobile lord resurrected like a dog after an emergency maintenance.
As a result, I was able to redo the blockages that had been blocked.
Xian checked the gold coins in his inventory.
[Current Gold Coins] – 2,570,000 G.
A whopping 2.57 million gold.
The remaining 1.57 million gold.
It was the amount of money plus the 1 million gold he ripped from Elena.
And here.
[Current Prestige Points] – 30,100 P
Up to a whopping 30,100 reputation points.
In terms of gold value, it was a whopping 3 million gold.
It was a staggering sum totaling 5.58 million gold.
“You’re not going to check it again, are you?”
If you think about it, it could have been.
The last mobile lord’s inspection cost was 4.5 million gold.
However, from now on, the amount to be rescheduled was 5.58 million gold.
The key will be how strong he became through the emergency maintenance, but…
There were plenty of possibilities.
Resurrected like a dog, passed out like a dog.
Such an unprecedented situation could have occurred!
Xian immediately launched the mobile lord.
“First of all, from the reputation point.”
Prestige points that can enhance Arnaise perks.
Xian entered the [Prestige Point Shop] item.
Hold on.
Items in the store were listed with a light touch.
Yes, ＜Charlotte’s Pride＞ and ＜Morcrew’s Flame＞.
Although there are only these two, anyway.
“I can reinforce it 3 times.”
10,000 points per upgrade.
Xian had already thought of items to strengthen.
First of all, ‘Effect 4’ added in ＜Charlotte’s Pride＞.
[Enhancement Effect 4] – You can purchase A-grade martial arts at the Territory Knight Training Center!
Last time, it was in a state where it was strengthened once with the effect added.
If you strengthen it once here, you should be able to purchase S-grade martial arts.
In addition, from ＜Morcrew’s Flame＞ to ‘Effect 2’.
[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!
If this effect was strengthened, A-grade equipment would come out.
And if you reinforce it once more…
“S-grade equipment!”
It was clear that the level of armed force of the soldiers would be significantly higher than now.
Here, learn S-class martial arts?
And the explosively increased growth buff is added through the upgrade?
then 5 months later.
He might be able to stand up to the White Wolf Knights of Ellandur!
And that’s all!
Xian’s equipment can also be strengthened almost unlimitedly!
There was no reason to hesitate.
Xian did ＜Charlotte’s Pride＞ ‘Effect 4’ once.
And ＜Morcrew’s Flame＞ ‘Effect 2’ was strengthened twice.
Kuguguk.
《Go, buy…?!》
Then, the embarrassing notification window of the mobile lord came to mind.
The reputation points that Hagisa Xian just consumed were a whopping 30,000.
It was like using 3 million gold in gold.
In a way, it was a natural reaction.
But he didn’t look too upset.
Like last time, I didn’t use hacks or anything.
Has it definitely gotten stronger with the emergency maintenance?
It seemed that the acceptable level of causality had increased significantly.
If you think about it again, it was the mobile lord who passed out while exchanging 3 million gold last time.
In a word, causality that we already knew.
“Hmm…”
Xian calmed down a bit and confirmed the strengthened effect.
[Enhancing Effect 4] (+2) – You can purchase S-grade martial arts at the Knight Training Center Lv.5!
[Enhancing Effect 2] (+2) – Equipment made in the smithy of the estate with a master blacksmith or higher has S-grade quality!
I was hoping for it, but it was as expected!
What an S-class equipment.
And I was able to get S-class martial arts!
“crazy!”
Xian screamed involuntarily.
Then all of a sudden
“······ huh?”
I could find something odd.
First of all, ＜Charlotte’s Pride＞.
“Knight Training Center Lv.5?”
On the front was the word Knight Training Center Lv.5.
In the past, it was just ‘at the knight training center.’ was
But this time, there was a specific word ‘Lv.5’ attached to it.
Through the last upgrade, Xian raised to the ‘top-notch knight training center Lv.4’.
The upgrade alone cost 1.5 million gold.
But what I need is Lv.5.
Xian confirmed the next upgrade.
and.
『《Knight Training Center Lv.5》 (4,000,000G).』
I was able to confirm the price of a whopping 4 million gold.
“·······”
Xian was at a loss for words for a moment.
Even ＜Mokrku’s Flame＞ was strange.
“More than a famous person?”
There was a condition attached to being more than a famous person.
At first, it was more than a ‘skilled worker’.
And in fact, even skilled blacksmiths were hard to find.
I wonder if there are one or two people in a typical territory.
But Ruben had no problems at all.
It was because the Dwarves, called the craftsman’s race, were the people of Ruben.
Therefore, it was possible to mass-produce B-class equipment.
However, more than a master was needed to make S-class equipment.
As Xian knew, skilled workers, artisans, and masters.
I knew it was going to go like this.
And there is only one person who can be called a master in Ruben.
It was none other than Semir, a descendant of the Goddess Morkru.
that means that.
“You mean you can only make Semir?”
But fortunately, there was a way to improve the level of other Dwarves.
《You can research ‘Morcru’s Metallurgy’ at Elodie’s Laboratory Lv.1!》
None other than ‘Morcru’s Metallurgy’ research.
“Have you never had anything like this before?”
Somehow, it seems that it was a condition for unlocking only by strengthening the perks.
Xian immediately checked the lab’s research items.
[Morcrew’s Metallurgy] – 500,000G
A whopping 500,000 gold for research costs.
Considering that the previous researches cost around 10,000 gold, the price was insane.
However, it was the metallurgy of Morkru, who was called the Goddess.
Arnaise who made weapons for Arnaise.
For many years his metallurgy was lost.
Even his descendant, Semir, did not know it properly.
So, being able to do research itself was a huge task.
Elodie seems to have recorded everything about the Arnaises.
Xian immediately purchased the study.
With 2.57 million gold in hand, there was no stopping him.
but.
《Erorr: You cannot research ‘Morcru’s Metallurgy’.》
An error window popped up?
Want something for a while.
Soon, a notification window about the reason for the error popped up.
《Reason for error: Research conditions not met.》
《To research ‘Metallurgy of Morkur’, ‘Achievement: For the Best Weapon!’ is required.》
“You need an achievement?”
Simultaneously with Xian’s words, information about achievements came to mind.
『[Achievement] – For the best weapon! (Unattained)
– Achievement condition: Possession of 1 SSS-grade equipment or 20 failed enhancements.』
.
.
“What is this…”
Xian was lost in thought for a moment.
A black stone that is the legacy of Morkru.
Xian was able to enhance his bar equipment through the black stone.
Enhancement materials are equipment of the same class.
In other words, in order to strengthen SS-grade equipment, the same SS-grade equipment had to be present.
Currently, the cost Semir needed to produce one S-grade equipment was 300,000 gold.
You need to have 2 such S-class equipment.
I was able to make one SS grade equipment.
You have to strengthen S-grade equipment to get SS-grade equipment.
So, aside from the cost of reinforcement.
It was 600,000 gold for each SS-grade equipment.
Such SS-grade equipment had to be strengthened to Xian’s equipment in order to obtain SSS-grade equipment.
And the SSS grade enhancement success rate is 5%.
In other words, the expected value was 1 success in 20 reinforcements.
It was a probability anyway, so I could have succeeded at once.
If all 20 times fail…
“12 million goals… such crazy.”
It was worth 12 million gold just for the strengthening materials.
It was a whopping 12 million gold to get that achievement!
Right then.
Tring!
《When you get stuck while proceeding, try the hyeonjil!》
.
.
“Don’t be mean!!!”
Xian screamed involuntarily.
This… Does this make sense!
12 million gold!
Currently, Xian has 2.57 million gold.
Compared to 12 million gold, there was no choice!
Of course, he wouldn’t need all 12 million gold.
Anyway, because it was probable.
I really didn’t know if I could succeed the first time.
But on the contrary, it can fail more than 20 times!
“crazy!”
My hands were shaking and trembling.
It never calmed down.
how how···!
Tring!
《When you get stuck while proceeding~♩, try a string!》
.
.
“really···.”
It was a mobile lord resurrected like a dog.
Xian couldn’t come to his senses for a while.
It’s been such a long time.
“Whoa…”
Xian let out a long sigh.
I had to earn gold first.
2.57 million gold was not enough.
“Isn’t 2.57 million gold not enough…?”
I couldn’t understand it at all.
It was like that in front of the mobile lord.
Anyway, the same goes for Knight Training Center Lv.5.
Also to get that achievement.
I had to earn gold again.
It seemed to me that I should ask Amelia to go upstairs right away.
Fortunately, the output has also increased through the upgrade.
Amelia could have earned millions of gold.
But even that was not enough.
Because the gold I needed right now was 10 million units!
“How do you do this…”
Xian’s head was pounding.
And just then.
A letter suddenly came into view.
It was none other than Aria’s letter.
“Come to think of it···.”
#
The capital of the empire, Darkhan.
And the imperial palace located in Darkan.
“majesty. Princess Elena has returned.”
“Is it Elena?”
The head of the crown prince, Conrad, tilted at the report of the chamberlain.
And that was because Elena shouldn’t have come back so soon.
I had to come back in a week or so.
Didn’t he tell Yale to do that?
But are you back now?
“Carefully.”
Conrad first summoned Elena.
From nob le mt l. co m
Just like that, the chamberlain disappeared.
Not long after, the door to the office opened again.
And Elena, who reveals herself.
“Meet His Highness the Crown Prince—”
“Leave unnecessary manners aside, come and sit down.”
Conrad waved his hand and waved it.
Elena straightened up and sat down in front of Conrad.
“Why are you back already?”
“That is···.”
Conrad asked, and Elena slurred.
Because I didn’t know how to answer this.
But it wasn’t something only Elena knew about.
Something that everyone in the Royal Knights watched carefully.
Even if he didn’t say anything anyway, the report would come in.
Elena opened her mouth slowly.
“I was kicked out.”
“what?”
Conrad made an absurd expression for a moment.
Are you getting kicked out? who?
Is it Elena?
“What is that…?”
Conrad couldn’t understand Elena’s words.
gaze.
For some reason, Elena was avoiding Conrad’s gaze.
He looked slightly embarrassed, as if he was holding something.
Seeing Elena like that, Conrad couldn’t be more absurd.
In fact, Conrad thought Elena had come quickly because she wasn’t interested.
After delivering the letter to Xian.
I thought it came right back.
However, Elena’s words that she was kicked out.
And the look on Elena’s expression right now.
So, does that mean Elena wanted to stay in Leuven longer, but got kicked out?
Conrad looked at Elena with eyes that demanded an explanation.
Elena couldn’t open her mouth easily.
After hesitating for a while, Elena slowly opened her mouth.
Conrad quietly listened to Elena’s story.
And right after all the stories are over.
“·······”
Conrad had nothing to say.
first.
“We’ll get married as soon as we meet…”
Conrad didn’t know what to say about this.
No matter how precious she was, to be honest…
“Are you insane?”
This time it seemed a little crazy.
“Because my older brother seems to like it…”
“ha···.”
Conrad sighed involuntarily.
And in fact, it was Elena who seemed insane.
Conrad understood why Elena was acting like that.
Duties as a princess.
It’s okay to let go of that bastard’s duties.
However, if you look closely, it was partly your fault.
Conrad said nothing more about it.
“Besides, something like that happened between the Royal Knights and the soldiers of Ruben…”
Conrad had nothing to say about this.
I wondered if there was even something to expel.
Thinking about it from Xi’an’s point of view, I thought it was possible.
In Ruben, Elena was literally a nuisance.
Still chasing the princess out?
What aristocrat in the world could do that.
I can’t help but want to look good.
Being kicked out was out of the question.
That’s why I’m a little bit embarrassed.
Really… I thought it was Xian-like.
The reason for this is all for the sake of my people.
Even though he knew that he could be harmed, Xian did not hold back.
Maybe that’s why I liked Conrad more.
but···.
Conrad quietly closed his eyes.
And calmly sorted out the situation.
conclusion thus drawn.
ruined.
It also ate very badly.
I was sent to build a kite with Xi’an.
How come you didn’t just build bad luck!
ruined.
Conrad blamed himself for his hasty action.
I knew Elena’s personality, but…
I hope I didn’t know it was like this.
should have followed
I sent them separately so that men and women can spend time together.
I sent it separately because I thought it would be difficult for my brother to follow me.
It was a mistake. should have followed
I should have gone and controlled Elena.
A moment of misunderstanding ruined the situation.
“ha···.”
deepening sigh.
However, it didn’t look like it had been eaten.
“From my brother’s point of view.”
Elena’s voice came through her closed vision.
Let’s gently open our eyes.
Elena lowered her eyes slightly and said.
“What kind of person is Xian?”
At that, Conrad looked slightly surprised.
Has Elena ever been like this?
Have you ever wondered about men?
For once, it was not in Conrad’s memory.
Of course, there were times when I wondered about men who had been married.
But that’s just curious about the man’s family.
I have never been interested in people, per se.
But now…
Conrad opened his mouth slowly.
“He was a true nobility. A true nobleman who is rare in this era who truly knows how to serve the people.”
Elena didn’t answer.
Although it was Conrad who knew Elena well.
This time, I couldn’t figure out what that reaction meant.
“What kind of person did you think you were when you saw and felt it?”
At Conrad’s question, Elena thought for a moment.
status as a princess.
Elena felt that with her rights came her due duties.
And it wasn’t just her status as a princess.
I thought everything in the world was like that.
Rights come with responsibilities.
These were Elena’s values.
But Ruben didn’t.
The Ruben that Elena saw was not like that at all.
Rights were not followed by duties.
No, to be precise, I didn’t force myself to do anything.
None of them worked voluntarily, without being subordinated to duty.
not rights and obligations.
unrequited favor.
The goodwill prevailed in Leuven.
That was quite a shock to Elena.
furthermore.
‘It is these ordinary people who make the empire great.’
what Xian said.
For some reason, those words did not leave my mind.
Xian denied all the values that Elena thought were the correct answers.
It is a territory that has never been seen before.
A man I’ve never seen before.
so that.
“······ I don’t know.”
A person you never knew.
Conrad looked at Elena quietly.
“Do you want to know a little more about who I am?”
Elena paused for a moment before answering.
“······ yes.”
Conrad opened his eyes wide.
What Elena was showing right now was obvious interest.
And it was something Elena had never seen before.
“But you weren’t kicked out?”
“·······”
Elena flinched without saying anything.
Seeing Elena like that, Conrad smiled softly.
She was Elena, who always showed only a high-level look.
Don’t you know how to look cute like this?
It was impossible not only for Conrad himself, but also for the emperor…
After all, he was the first man Elena showed interest in.
Although the first button was sewn wrong…
“I will help this brother.”
Can you stay still as an older brother?
“But right now it’s kind of like that. I’ll arrange a good seat again soon.”
Elena silently nodded.
Seeing that, Conrad smiled once again.
Soon after, Elena got up from her seat.
That moment.
stop.
With a sudden thought, Elena asked Conrad.
“Brother. Did Charlotte the Great ever have a younger sister?”
It is none other than Leah, a ghost she encountered in Ruben.
When Elena explains Ruben’s work to Conrad.
I didn’t say anything about Leah.
It’s clear that you wouldn’t believe me if I told you.
In the first place, I can’t even believe myself right now, so what should I say?
But I couldn’t help but believe it.
Secrets about your room.
Because you couldn’t know that unless you really used the room.
Conrad answered Elena’s sudden question.
“The younger sister of Charlotte the Great? Well… I think it was like that, but it’s been so long that I don’t know exactly. But why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
But Conrad didn’t seem to know either.
Hagisa, a thousand years ago.
Even if it was related to Charlotte, the details were unknown.
“I just… suddenly got curious.”
“You are curious about everything. If you’re curious, go to the Imperial Palace Library. There are records left by the great emperor there.”
The Imperial Palace’s library where the history of the imperial family is recorded.
“Thank you in many ways, brother.”
Elena thought she should go there.
#
Xian listened to the letter Arya sent.
Although I forgot about it for a while because of Elena.
To be exact, I forgot about it for a while because of that f*cking mobile lord.
Along with this letter, the storyline quest ‘The Truth Kyle Faced’ responded.
But maybe it was because the mobile lord was under maintenance.
The content of the quest hadn’t changed.
But now the mobile lord has been resurrected like a dog.
Xian checked the contents of the quest again.
and.
『[Story Linked Quest] – ‘The Truth Kyle Faced’.
▶Kyle suddenly left after facing a certain truth.
But not long after.
Kyle visits Muriel.
Kyle leaves again after a long conversation with Muriel.
Muriel has hidden something about the secret.
The secret hidden in Muriel’s ruins!
What is the secret of that!?!』
＜Reward: Kyle’s Legacy + Muriel’s Legacy＞
.
.
“uh···?”
The contents of the quest, which had not changed for a long time, had changed.
So Kyle did say something to one of the Arnaise before he left.
