The relationship between Shellford's family and the empire could not be said to be good. Despite never being exposed to any matter regarding this, only a few officials in the empire and Whitehall's family had any knowledge of it.
Edward Shellford was an honored and most contested warrior in the Litera Empire. His life history is filled with proud achievements in dungeon conquests and missions to guard the boundaries of imperial power against enemies.
One day, when the conflict with the enemy kingdom was sparked and grew, Edward Shellford had been foretold to become the general who would lead the war.
It's just that some nobles in the empire have their own desires, which are contrary to the true aims of the empire. Meanwhile, Edward Shellford played along the lines of the war with the primary goal of bringing about a
They are the Thirteen Survivors.The thirteen people who had survived the Litera Empire's all-out invasion of their territory. The titles or similar terms are only recognized by close relatives of Shellford and Whitehall, who are completely trustworthy. Meanwhile, from the outside, the existence of The Thirteen Survivors is nothing like ordinary suburban residents.Out of all that, two divine power users are at a high-level, namely Emeline and Elashaa, who have been close friends since childhood. Since the outbreak of war, they have tried many things to thwart and anticipate the worst scenarios that could happen, but to no avail.Not only did the empire's side have some provoking individuals, but the enemy did as well. They were the ones who had fallen for the empire’s bait and sacrificed their kingdoms for th
"Well, that's all I can deliver, Young Master."“Um… Thank you very much. By the way, I didn't see my mom. Is she doing something alone?”Heather reached for the report sheet Archie had finished looking at on the table while answering Archie's question. “Mrs. Emeline is staying in the construction area. Of course, with various supervision from Krakal and Alian. As you know, even when we advise her, your mother still hates to do it," she grumbled.Remembering it was his mother, Archie couldn't help but let out a small sigh.Heather's attitude this morning was a bit different. No, to be more precise, the attitude of all the maids and guards today was indeed different. They seemed to be smiling alone when they saw Archie. At first, Archie thought th
Market monopoly is a condition in which there are only one or a few sellers in the market, so no other party can compete with them. This market is a form of interaction between demand and supply where only one producer deals with many consumers.This market is also said to have no element of competition. The reason is in this type of market, companies usually produce goods or services that other companies cannot produce.Additionally, the monopoly market is impossible or difficult for new 'players' to enter. Government licenses, resource ownership, and copyrights are solid factors for entering this market.At least, that's the theory Archie used to learn in high school. It's no accident why Archie was able to become a civil servant at such a young age. But whatever it was, the application in a different world was an
At just a glance, one could see the difference between an ordinary horse or mount and the white horse that Slide was carrying toward Archie. Considering it was a gift from the empire and was intended for a transcended class possessor, that white horse should have been equipped with a magic item that wasn't lowly in quality."Introduce yourself to your mistress and her future husband, Ivy," Slide said to the horse beside him. Somehow, was it true the horse could understand Slide's words, or was it just a coincidence, but the white horse excitedly neighed when it found Layla’s presence.“Ivy? It's a very pretty name."Actually, Archie never had the experience of naming his pets, he didn't bother to think of anything. One day he had a cat he picked up off the street, and Archie just called it "meow" just li
In just an instant of time, after Archie came and joined the main Whitehall family, many updates and advancements were beyond everyone's expectations. The most significant contribution is the innovation of their young master's genius, and of course, as his fiancée, Layla feels a sense of pride.Layla has been busier than usual, helping Archie with all internal and external affairs. Help Archie choose the possibilities they should choose in deciding a course of action together.Laya could feel that their subordinates' respect for Archie was utterly different from how they had for her. This is not referring to the negative side. The respect of the subordinates to Layla is very loyal, but somehow Layla felt that if it were Archie, everything would be different.The admiration she showed to her lover did not just
Zachary came over wearing his usual facial expression and responses; As if he had anticipated that scenarios would happen, Zachary greeted his daughter and her fiancé.Just like when they first entered, their eyesight would be limited to only two to three meters in front of them, and they would be unable to see anything beyond the darkness. However, their sight was widening where they were standing now; it was later confirmed that several spots within the Fluorescent Mine had a similar eyesight effect.“None of us want to keep this from you, Archie. We all understand that you will find out sooner or later, and on my orders, I told everyone involved in this Mine not to say anything to anyone after they finish working here," said Zachary.Archie wasn't disappointed in anyone, in fact, what he heard was a
After finding out they could no longer continue any deeper, it was decided they would return to square one. Zachary then took Archie to the processing site for raw materials that had been harvested. The location is on another line from the original meeting point.There, they can see employees who are doing their job. This trail has an end which is another place with guaranteed lighting and increased visibility over the entire area. Benches and tables have been arranged along with a tool in front of the workers, making a grinding sound.The raw materials obtained are often mixed with adhering soil. Using a tool such as a grinding wheel will erode the surface and remove material attached to precious stones.That sight was familiar to Archie, considering there was an increasing demand for this type of precious stone in
So many places and areas in Krakal are always crowded with people almost all the time. Daily activities such as buying and selling transactions from residents and adventurers will usually last until the afternoon. Depending on the busy work patterns of the adventurers, sometimes the crowds continue until the evening.The guild building is close to the transmitter point, like in cities in general. Krakal had built a particular facility for their teleportation activities. When viewed from the outside, this building is more luxurious than the surrounding buildings, and the paint's cleanliness and color are still maintained even though the building is no longer young.That is one of the many ways that the Town of Krakal offers to attract many visitors to the city.Krakal has their own factories that process food, drink,
