Chapter 167 – Men Who Bowed Their Heads, Stood Up (4)
No matter how much I cheat with modern knowledge, I am a man who has lived in a democratic country.
So, without realizing it, I didn’t say out loud the things in my head that made me think, ‘This is a bit much’.
But this is a medieval fantasy world.
In a world where we live in a caste system, I think it’s amazing to see the perspective of someone who wants to become a person at the top of the upper caste.
“Let’s stuff this down the throats of all the people of the empire?”
“Yes. Have you ever thought about that? That I will fill and control everyone living in Fermaten with this.”
“…I thought about it. I thought about it.”
As far as thoughts go.
Everyone is free to think.
In my thoughts and dreams, I do all kinds of evil things, but no one says anything.
But the moment it becomes reality, the story changes.
“I think I spoke a little passionately. I apologize. And can we both calm down for a moment?”
“I am very calm, Lord Su.”
“That’s why I’m scared.”
I am afraid of what more this woman with her eyes sparkling will say here.
And to that suggestion, ‘Huh? I’m more afraid of thinking, ‘Is this okay?’
Just now.
I secretly thought it was okay to have everyone wear bomb necklaces.
‘It’s scary, a fantasy world.’
In an instant, I, a modern man, is being led beyond a rape dictatorship to a sex dictatorship.
“What do you think? Will you rape me, or will you choose a future in which the Fermaton’s influence extends to the Empire?”
“Calm down. I think that’s going too far.”
Of course, this happened because I said I would rape her, but I’m still starting to get scared.
“We’re talking about a wedding, but it’s like worrying about where to buy your grandchildren’s house. Huh? Calm down.”
“Oh my. Where has the person who just said he would rape me gone?”
“…Hey.”
I approached Charlotte and met her gaze.
“Shut your mouth before I rape you.”
“…Huh, you should do that. You should come out proudly. Luge Permaten.”
Charlotte nodded her head at me with her challenging eyes.
“Good. I will hear about the value of this item. Even if this item is something that will destroy the world, I will be with you, Lord So. Only.”
“Are you going to do everything you can to help usurp the emperor’s position?”
“That’s right. Whew, I think this pretty much says everything I can say.”
Charlotte smiled brightly and laid down on the sofa.
“Ah, I feel relaxed. Youngju She is So She is the first person I have told my true feelings to this extent.”
“Was there anyone else?”
“Yes. There was no one around me I could trust.”
“Me?”
“You can trust Lord Xiao. Paradoxically.”
“…Paradoxical?”
“Yes. Well, there are many reasons, but the biggest reason is…”
Charlotte pointed to herself.
“I am a virgin, and I am the one who makes the Lord So get an erection.”
“Any additional reasons?”
“As it is a win-win relationship, as long as Lord So is benefiting from me and I am benefiting from Lord So, if this relationship is good, it can’t get worse. Even if it’s just this right now, right?”〈 Br〉
Charlotte pointed to my bitch necklace.
“If you hand over that to me in bulk, I will give you this item.”
“…Hehe. If you go that far, I have no choice but to ask you more seriously.”
“What about the restrictions on the necklace?”
“No. It depends on how the value of the item is created.”
I handed the bitch necklace to Charlotte.
“Listen carefully. What I’m talking about from now on must never be leaked to the outside world. If it is, it won’t end in rape.”
“Finally, we get to the point. Let’s keep that in mind.”
“This is a mana copier.”
“…Yes?”
As expected.
“It’s a money copying device.”
“No, you mean copying money…?”
“It is an item that supplies a lot of the mana that I use to sell items made of mana. I already have one of these.”
“…Crazy.”
Even Charlotte cannot help but be shocked by the true value of this mythical stone.
“Young lord, may I swear once?”
“Just give it a try. If you’re confident enough to handle it.”
“…Are breast magic stones and bitch necklaces made from something like this?”
“…”
My heart hurts.
It feels like I hit a bone.
“No, there is a big reason for this…”
“Rather than making a necklace that will explode your sexual desires, if you make a bomb necklace and wear it, wouldn’t you be able to control all humans?”
“I’ve thought about that too, but I don’t want to go that far.”
“Ha. It seems that the Lord So is also a citizen of the kingdom that can’t be helped.”
I feel a bit sad, but I understand.
“Lord So’s dictatorship is a fake dictatorship. If it is a real dictatorship, it should be able to monitor every move of all humans in the territory, or indeed in the world.”
“You’re saying you didn’t think about that?”
“You just think about it and don’t actually act and make it into something.”
“This is a bit unfair. So what are you proposing? What can we do using an item that can freely copy mana and create magic stones at will?”
“For now… “
Charlotte was lost in thought with a very serious expression.
“…Making weapons?”
“That’s the problem. If Fermaten starts making weapons in earnest, if we create countless weapons based on magic stones, what will the kingdom and empire think?”
“Of course you think it’s dangerous. Hmm. Is that so?”
Charlotte smiled proudly this time.
“You’re laying the foundation by acting like you’re crazy about sex. Then, the moment others notice, the foundation has already been built to the point where there’s nothing you can do about it.”
“That’s right. That’s my true intention.”
He is not a sex-crazed lord.
They just make a profit behind the scenes through that acting.
“Someday, such a future may arise, but I think it is time to hunker down.”
“No. If that’s your intention, I think now is the time.”
“Red flag?”
“Yes. Now is the right time, when neither the kingdom nor the empire can do anything rash to the Permaten.”
“Why? Is there something I don’t know?”
“Maybe.”
Each time.
“This is news I found out through my friend in the Empire, but it looks like a big battle will break out between the Empire and the Kingdom.”
“Huh. Where?”
“It is a third zone, the western coast, different from Fermaten.”
War.
What I was worried about is happening in a place I didn’t expect.
If Fermaten is located between a kingdom and an empire in the very center of the continent, the western coast is a place where the kingdom and empire compete over the sea and have territorial disputes.
“The navies of both sides are concentrated there. If we make a mistake, it could lead to a war between countries.”
“Why does that happen?”
“It happens all the time. The empire makes a provocation, the kingdom responds, and a situation arises where people gnash their teeth.”
“In the meantime, we just need to move quickly?”
“Yes.”
If the kingdom and the empire really don’t care about us, then as Charlotte said, now is the chance.
“…Okay. Then how would you move? If you were me.”
“First, we must strengthen the power of Fermaten.”
“That’s it. I’m collecting capital. Capital called magic stones.”
“If you say that creating a magic stone is a new magic stone, it may be too late.”
“What is Penisileen?”
“…”
Charlotte was silent for a moment.
To show her consideration while she was lost in thought, I personally poured her wine into her d’Arc cup and handed it in front of her.
“Lord So.”
“Okay.”
“Perhaps the thing called Penis Ilin created by Lord Su may be able to prevent war.”
“No, what is that out of the blue?”
“Maritime sovereignty dispute. It is a battle of pride between the queen and emperor over the resources of the sea.”
“What is it? …No, I want to know about external circumstances, but all I can know is what most people know.
As I cannot escape Permaten, there is a limit to the information I can obtain.
Just as others don’t know more about the Infinite Labyrinth than I do, it’s the same as me not knowing what’s going on in the world.
“Lord So.”
Charlotte opened her mouth in disgust, as if she didn’t want to even mention it.
“Do you know about sea creatures called abalone and oysters?”

That time.
Bernhard, the guild leader of the Adventurer’s Guild, was quietly holding a cup of d’Arc and savoring wine alone in the guild leader’s office.
“It’s time.”
With a leisurely hand, he took a crystal ball out of his arms and placed it on the table.
Weeing.
As soon as the crystal ball started sparkling, mana flowed out like fog over the crystal ball.
The fog drew a mirror-like plane, and beyond the mirror, an old man with a white beard was sitting in a chair.
[It’s been a while since you contacted me like this.]
“It’s been 2 years since I contacted you, Your Majesty.”
[What is your Majesty? Unless there is someone around, just treat it like before. I also have no one around.]
“…Then.”
Bernhard changed his expression and took out an object from his arms.
“I ordered someone to send a package to the empire. When you receive it, use it immediately. Just one.”
[What is it?]
“Erection enhancer.”
Jump up.
The old man got up from his seat and opened his eyes wide.
[What? How could something like that…?]
“Our Lord So created it. Isn’t it amazing?”
Bernhard burst into laughter, as if bragging about an invention his grandson had made.
“I am on my way out after putting my three wives to sleep for the first time in a long time. “I can guarantee the results.”
[How much is it? How much can I buy it for?]
“…”
Bernhard raised one of his fingers.
[100,000 gold? 100,000 gold each?]
“100 gold.”
[…
“But there was a shortage of supplies at Fermaten. So I bowed to the Lord So and managed to get 10. I sent 9 of them, so try them out. Don’t eat more than two a day.”
[…Baby.]
The old man brought a smile to the emperor’s face.
[I made a good friend.]
“What does it mean to be a good friend? Huh? So, please treat me well in the future. For no reason…”
Bernhard’s eyes sank coldly.
“Don’t start a war because of subversion.”
