One week later.
"We can't keep depending on farming," Elisa said.
Tobias sat on a chair behind his desk. The pile of papers had been piling up over time, starting three days ago when the villagers decided to start trading.
The rich land and the competent skills of the farmers made the vegetables from Leafvile much better than the neighboring villages. Villagers started earning money from the sales. Women started regularly serving food to their families; children played around the village.
It was a difficult situation they were going through, and Tobias' reign was a blessing. He came with ideas and good intentions to improve the village.
"So? Do you have any ideas? You've been here longer than I, so you know what the villagers are capable of, right?" Tobias asked.
Pointing at Elisa, who appeared sitting on the sofa, she was no longer accompanied by her two guards. Tobias had ordered the two young men to join the village guards; the

Tobias left Leafvile on horseback. Actually, two days ago, a courier from Giselle arrived with a raven. The woman had said earlier she would send a raven to communicate.But Tobias could not use a letter to inform her about this matter. The subject they were going to discuss was quite complex, related to Leafvile Waterfall and other matters.The journey home was much faster than the departure, taking less than twenty minutes for Tobias to reach the other side of the hill, directly facing the west gate of Valestria. The man could clearly see the queue of merchants entering the city.Tobias made it through the gates with Archibald's gold plate. The guards gave him a pass as they knew the plate's function. Inside the city, the young man slowed down his horse to avoid hurting people walking on the city's main street.Along the way to Giselle's brothel, Tobias' horse's steps stopped when his eyes noticed the goods being sold by the townspeople. He turned his h

Stephanie opened the curtains in the left side room of the house, and Tobias' presence took her by surprise. Her lipline rose, waving a friendly hand to Tobias.He smiled back, occasionally nodding as he shared a brief glance with Stephanie. The woman waved her right hand towards Giselle, asking her boss to walk over."What is it?" asked Giselle, curious."You have a stubborn guest outside," Stephanie said.Giselle sighed; this was the third time she'd had unpleasant guests this week. Tobias walked toward the living room, opening the curtains to the left as he gazed toward the brothel's exit.A riot was going on; the men who were previously inside the house had come out to see what the noise was about. The curious Tobias also walked outside, finding a group of men arguing about something."Jesselyn is the best!" snapped one of the men."No! Marcela is the goddess among the six!" the other man moaned.Tobias, who had been curiou
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 42. Business Agreement
"Oh, an Archibald has come to see me. It would be an honour to work with you, Lord Archibald," Elizabeth said, smiling, and now it was her turn to bow her head.Suddenly, the people near her also bowed their heads, paying their respects to Tobias, who had higher noble status. Elizabeth invited Tobias to come in, leaving the matter to her guards in front of the factory."How did you find this place, My Lord?" Elizabeth asked."A merchant told me about it in exchange for me buying his goods," Tobias said."Hmm, you sound like a good negotiator, My Lord," said Elizabeth."I will not take that as a compliment. It is more like blackmailing," Tobias replied."Then what do you have to offer me, Lord Tobias?"Tobias continued to walk after the woman, his eyes glancing over the hundreds of tailors making the same style of clothing, similar to a dress. Many of them were also making suits for the men."Currently, I'm the leader of a regio

*** Riding his horse, Tobias quickly left Sarastrea to return to Leafvile. To get to the village, Tobias needed to take the Valestria main road because that was the only way he could travel faster. He came back with many ideas and information for the improvement of the village, but he couldn't tell Elisa about it because all the ideas hadn't been fully realized yet; there were many things they had to do. The young man passed before Giselle's brothel, seeing the situation in front of the house becoming slowly conducive, unlike before. He also didn't see Giselle in the place, a sign that she was already inside. It didn't take long for Tobias to get out of the Valestria area, as the queue at the gate still seemed to be snaking, just like usual. Tobias left the area, spurring his horse steadily through the forest and up the hill until he reached the village where he ruled. Tobias' arrival was a different thing for the villagers, who were initially scared, but now became enthusiastic.
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 44. An Oath to Tobias
***The next day.It seemed that Giselle's words had paid off. Tobias could see the effect of the rumour being successfully trusted by the people. They arrived in different outfits, some wearing luxurious attire like nobles and others wearing common clothes."It seems like your friend's connections are undoubted," Elisa said, happy to finally see visitors coming to her village."I'm grateful to have her," Tobias chimed in.Although not many, it was a good start for Leafvile. The more people who come, the more they will know about the village's potential. The tour guides start directing tourists to the Leafvile Spring waterfall.Not only are the men the tour guides, but the women have also been selected to work selling milk bottles for ritual purposes. They are already standing neatly at their stands, with stacks of milk bottles ready for sale."Impress them as much as possible. We must make an unforgettable first impression on them," Tobias said.Elisa nodded, knowing what she had to
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 45. Price of Trust
Not only the man but also his members said the same thing. They swore an oath of allegiance to Tobias, as the young man had defeated the invincible Rono for many years.The young man re-sheathed his sword, thinking bloodshed was unnecessary at this time. His head turned back, asking the soldiers guarding the village to put down their weapons.He then stepped closer to the group's leader, "I don't know if I can trust you.""We never betray. If one of us does, you can have my head," the leader said.Tobias crouched down, looking levelly at the man until they locked eyes. Tobias thought he could sense the solemnity in his gaze, but stares can be tricked and didn't make Tobias trust him."What's your name?" Tobias asked."Cleagene," said the man named Cleagene, the group leader."All right, Cleagene. You certainly want to have my trust, don't you?" asked Tobias. Cleagene nodded with his head bowed obediently."I have many things to do with this village; food, security, and growth. I'm tak
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 46. The Eastern Duties
***The next day."That's approximately the design of the factory that Elizabeth and I wanted," Tobias said, talking to the foreman about the initial design of the factory.Tobias walked over to the house wall, his right hand raised, tapping lightly on the wood. Yesterday, just before Elizabeth left, she had asked Tobias directly to use bricks instead of wood in the construction of the factory.Bricks are much more expensive than wood, but in terms of durability, they can last longer. Elizabeth probably thought so, considering that she would have a major revamp if the clothing sales from the Leafvile branch could be successful within a year."I fully understand your wishes. We will do our best to build it quickly," the foreman said.Twenty workers were under his command, quite a lot for a small building. Tobias said yes, feeling relieved when the foreman said so.It had been more than a week since Tobias's reign in Leafvile, and signi
Divine Sword Art System Chapter 47. Phase two, Security Stability
Elena gasped in shock. She did not expect Tobias to be so serious about his plan to liberate Atrea. The young man's wish was like a gamble. If they succeeded, then it was good for Equestria. However, vice versa if they fail.The Equestria Queen's eyes kept looking at Tobias, trying to ascertain the man's sincerity. Tobias stuck to his commitment, even though King Constantine no longer expected him to."Are you sure you can gather such a large army in one year?" asked Elena, wanting to know the faith in Tobias' heart because it all depended on his heart.If Tobias was determined to carry out this plan, then Elena couldn't stop him. In fact, the woman planned to help Tobias by sending the leader of the Queen's Guard to teach Tobias' troops how to wield a sword."I'm sure I can do it. For now, I just need the contacts of some important people in various places," Tobias said."When exactly will you gather the troops?" asked Elena."Recruitment has already begun for now.
