Cole is now looking at the dead king and the aura master in front of him.(Legion did a good job…)Our plan is to hide Legion for a bit and attack the king when he is alone.We don’t know how capable an Aura Master is, but Legion is considered a normal monster, maybe a somewhat stronger monster than normal but still a normal monster.And Aura Master has great reputations, both in the books and in this world.That is why, our initial plan was to separate the Aura Master from the King first but it failed again and again.The Aura Master wouldn’t budge, he literally stayed with the king almost every time and he even had a small room beside the king's chamber which made it difficult to attack the king.Initially our plan is to kill the king and send some insects from the gate and destroy the body and the place, to make it look like that the monster invaded the chamber and killed the king, but those plans cannot happen until we separate the Aura Master, which is hard to do.Then finally we
Cole walks into the tavern.He walked towards the counter and looked at the bartender.“Give me one of your best products.”The bartender nodded and prepared the drink.“Sigh…”It’s been two weeks since the king died.The city went into panic but several of the higher ups kept the citizens calm.At the time, the monster invasion slowly retreated and they disappeared.It took a week before this city recovered but not everything recovers.Several buildings were destroyed.People, even innocent citizens were hurt.And the trading flow is still slow.But Cole didn’t care about that.However, he is also tired.Tired of doing a lot of things for this mission, so right now he went into one of the bars in the city to relax and have a ‘quiet drink’ by himself.“Tsk! Did you hear about your brother?”“Yeah, he sent a message to the Merchant Guild and they delivered it to me. It's bad man, really bad.”“Why?”“Count Ferdinand died, not only that everyone in his family died… no one will take over
(Sigh… so far the topics inside this bar are just the same.) Cole glances left and right and listens to various chats. He wanted to hear fascinating stories, like lore, or dungeon raids, or a special kind of monster that just appeared. But he got nothing. The topic is still about their king, the insect monster invasion and several things that were affected due to Prince Adam promotion. (It’s just been two weeks but Prince Adam immediately changed the slave system as the first order of his business, I guess that’s the kid’s priority.) (And the good thing is…)Cole smiled. (No one fought him… all of the opposing family died and the ‘spare’ family will not talk back to the crown if they want to earn that seat as the new leader of their territory.) After that ‘show’. Some nobles even show ‘kindness’ to their citizens, by providing food and shelter for them. They even use their remaining money to hire mercenaries to keep the territory safe. (Those nobles will do anything to get t
Cole is now in a carriage going towards the castle.The city is still recovering from the damage because some of the buildings were badly damaged, even this far off, from the walls of the city.(Geez… I should tone it down a bit when I do it again… those monsters are really out of control.)From left and right, Cole notices people fixing houses and damaging fences.(Shhhh… I really hit the city so hard… will the prince charge this to me…)Cole shook his head.(I don’t think he would do that, first of all he knows the plan and approved it… though…)He noticed several people with bandages, wounds or a scratch in their body.(The plan didn’t work a hundred percent… The knights and soldiers will surely get hurt and we already talk about ‘friendly fire’ because the ‘plan’ that I prepared will not distinguish a friend from foe and… I actually intended that some ‘friendly’ should get hurt to remove any suspicion from the people with ‘good eyes’.)He pauses for a bit and looks at the regular
(Reward… Sigh…)I looked at King Adam, a 15-year-old boy gently smiled at me.(Sigh… even though he had nice intentions to the ‘slave’ and he wanted them to have a better life. The fact didn’t change… this boy still thinks of slaves as ‘materials’ and he is no different than the others.)Cole understood this and was not in any way angry with it.First of all, Cole was raised in this world so for him slavery is a normal thing and a luxury for those nobles.The only difference between Cole and the other people of this world, Cole has Jon’s memories.Memories of earth, where slavery was abolished.He knew a world free of this system.However, he doesn't have the intention of transforming this world into ‘Earth’.(Oh! Well, it will be troublesome if I do something on slavery… at the same time…)He smiled.(Slavery is very useful isn’t it.)The image of Marbas, Lily, Crystal and the others under his ‘power’ flash through his mind.He cannot pretend that those are not slavery, heck he even
A man came inside a building.He was around his 40’s with dark red long hair and muscular body.Scars and calluses are obvious in his hand.He inhaled when he entered this facility.The smell of wood and flower fragrance roam in the air.“I don’t miss the damp smell of cave and sweat of man.”He smiled.“Morning Regis”A man greeted him as he walked past him.“Morning!”He greeted him back and waved his hand.Regis looks around the ‘waiting area’, he glances at several things.There is a group of people huddling in one table.(They must be preparing to go to their assignments.)Then as he continued to look around he noticed several empty chairs and tables in the area.He nodded because this felt normal to him.And finally he glanced over the ‘place’ that he wanted to go but then he noticed some in his peripheral vision and looked over it.It seems, a teenager looks confused.(Ah, I remember my first time here… well I’m not really rushing so…)He walks towards the teenager, raises his
“Low… quality product… in Yggdrasil.”Gervais still cannot believe it.He was not a weapon manic but he knew how to look at the quality of weapons and surely just with a glance this weapon that they issue for free are even better than the basic weapon for soldiers.“Yeah, that is why we work, we earn ‘money’ so that we can buy new weapons and armors with good quality.”“Good quality… better than this…”Still spacing out.“Sigh...from the looks of it you haven’t visited the Shopping District yet… if you have time later visit them. For sure, you will run back here and ask for an assignment hehehe.”Regis chuckled.“Oh yeah back to the topic… if you became a Berserker you will get the official armor… a customize… armor… just… for… you.”Regis emphasizes the words.“Wow… a good quality armor… just for me… so how can I join-”Regis raises his hand to gesture for Gervais to stop.“Not yet, you must get some achievements first and take the test then the leaders will watch your performance an
Regis walkout Dispatch Building.He is looking into the city that is now very familiar to him.This city is different from the city he knew from the ‘outside’.But currently he cannot afford a new house here.He is still staying at the Vine Condominium, which is not really that bad but buying a house in the city is a ‘status’ that everyone wants.“Alright… first let’s go to ‘Centipede Station.”He walked towards the nearest ‘Beetle Stop’, which is a small open canopy in the middle of the sidewalk.Regis walks towards it and goes behind the last person in that line.‘Mama are we going to the shopping district.’A small girl tags his mother.‘You already asked me that a couple of times now… yeah, we will go but we have to go to the furniture shop first.’‘But Mama I want toys, I heard from school that there are new toys in the mall.’(Mall huh, that large unique building that was recently opened… I heard it is a place to enjoy yourself, just leisurely walking around and buying stuff.’)
