Chapter 424 – Chapter 43
“Is this the Kingdom of LucyArcanel?”
“It’s more ordinary than I thought?”
Several groups of people passed through Akina’s territory and entered the Kingdom of LucyArcanel.
These are merchants sent by other merchants, or people who left their hometown after believing rumors.
Dyke’s merchants successfully returned and began selling to nobles.
At first, I felt reluctant because the price was three times higher than the normal price.
However, confident that Dyke would never regret risking his life, several nobles who believed in the trustworthiness of the Browning Company decided to purchase it.
And they were extremely shocked.
‘What on earth were the things we ate so far!?’
‘This is…’ This is the devil’s food! Because of this, everything I’ve ever eaten feels like garbage!’
A shocking taste that makes the highest quality foods you have ever eaten feel like they are of the lowest quality.
Once Dyke got enough word of mouth, he sold for 3x the price and increased it to 7x.
With the cliché comment that quantity is insufficient.
At first, I complained that it was expensive, but after eating it even once, I couldn’t say it was expensive.
But Dyke didn’t stop there.
This is because it was natural that other brothers, who found out that they had completed the transaction safely, would ‘take back’ their business partners as if it were natural.
‘Right now, I can’t protect my clients against my brothers.’
Considering your position, it is impossible to protect this business partner no matter what you do.
However, the story is different if the other party points you out and demands a deal.
‘We must spread the word! I have to show that I am useful!’
Charlize probably also had people planted here and there.
Dyke even used his own personal funds to encourage the rumor to spread as quickly as possible.
Naturally, as rumors spreading fantasies about the hostile Kingdom of LuceArcanel spread, a crackdown began, but Dyke used more secret methods as time went on.
His proactive actions were due to the advice that Charlize gave him just before leaving.
-If you don’t do it outright, the Guardian Corps will tolerate it.-
The Guardian Corps’ acquiescence means that some kind of negotiation has been made with them.
I don’t know why the Guardian Corps, which never tolerates threatening foreign species, negotiated with the subject with whom they went to war, but if they don’t interfere, the story becomes easier.
Dyke has used up almost all of his personal funds that he had been saving for just in case.
Thanks to his motivated actions, the people who were at a loss and the quick-witted merchants moved forward.
‘My husband died, but my children still have a long way to go before they grow up. Shouldn’t we move while we still have time?’
‘I want to eat my fill like that too.’
Widows who became the head of the household after their husbands died, or people who want to eat without worrying about their meals for once.
‘The kingdom is busy cracking down, but the Guardian Corps is ignoring it.’
‘I heard that the foods that captured the tastes of the nobles this time were from the kingdom of LucyArcanel. If only we could do business with them…’
Those who recognized that the Guardian Corps’ silence was a sign.
However, the Kingdom of LucyArcanel is a heretic kingdom that accepts a different species.
Going there requires courage and action.
Or you must have the urgency to overcome all of this.
The woman with her 13- and 10-year-old daughters was exactly that type.
‘This is the country that killed my father…’
A country girl with caramel brown hair tied into pigtails.
Her father died in the war, and her mother, having difficulty making a living, sold all her possessions and brought herself and her younger brother here.
After all, to the country that killed my father.
‘I’m sure she’s not okay with it either.’
Although she was young, the girl grew up early and knew what her mother was thinking.
She took a gamble because she was not confident that she would be able to raise herself without her father.
‘Once I’ve arrived, what should I do now?’
Her daughter shared her mother’s feelings of despair.
When I came past the large fortress, I was told that I just had to follow the road.
“Huh? Mom~ Who are those people?”
At that time, the youngest, who had been blindly following her without knowing anything, pointed his finger.
Then the face of her mother, who came with her daughters, turned white.
“Hi…!”
There were heavily armed cavalrymen there.
The problem was that there were two living people, and the remaining six were skeleton horsemen who seemed to have turned centaurs into undead.
Because of the natural disaster in this world called Dead Moon, people have no choice but to have fear and hatred towards the undead.
However, as the undead cavalry approached the three vulnerable women, it was natural for their complexions to turn pale.
“You came from abroad. What brought you here?”
One of the cavalrymen who approached the mother and daughter asked a friendly question.
“Ah… Well… That’s… Black…”
However, the woman, who was filled with resentment and anger that they were the ones who killed her husband, and fear that they were heavily armed soldiers, was sobbing and could not continue her sentence.
“Ah, senior. Why are you making people cry?”
“What? Hey! Isn’t that because you brought those things with you!”
The two, who were patrolling the road with undead cavalry, bickered playfully.
It may seem like a disorganized appearance, but it is an action to make a scared woman relax.
“I… I heard there’s a lot to eat when you come here…”
Fortunately, the conversation between the two seemed to work, and the woman gathered courage and answered.
“I see. Do you have any special skills?”
“There is none…”
“Then, I will choose a job for you here. Is that okay?”
“Well, if there’s anything I can do…”
“Okay, just wait a moment.”
The cavalryman who first spoke moved backwards for a moment and began speaking alone into the air.
“All three are women. One adult, two children. They appear to be mother and daughter. Yes, yes. I understand.”
The cavalryman returned and opened his mouth.
“Hey. These people will guide you to the village we are creating.”
“Are you talking about building a factory there?”
“Yes. I will return after patrolling, so you will return as soon as I finish guiding.”
“Okay. All three of you, please come this way.”
The man called Senior led three undead for patrol.
The junior led her mother and daughter to the village where they would live.
On the way, there was an incident where they were exhausted and screamed while riding the skeleton horse, but the mother and daughter arrived safely at the three destinations.
“Please wait a moment, Kaicent!”
“Yes. What’s going on?”
The cavalryman called someone in a polite tone.
Then, a boy with a soft expression as white as snow appeared.
“Wow…”
“Mom. That oppa is so pretty!”
The mother and eldest daughter were speechless, but the youngest, who knew nothing, pointed her finger and shouted in an excited tone.
Kai Sent was a huge shock to her mother and daughter, who had lived in a rural village their entire lives.
“Three people, all women.”
“Okay, I’ll take over from here on out. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Yes. Then I’ll just go back.”
The cavalryman led the skeletons back the way they came.
“You had a hard time coming here, right? I’m going to make you a house now, so you can eat this.”
Kaicent took out water and hot stew out of thin air and distributed them to the three people.
“Hi…!”
“Wow. It’s flying!”
However, the mother and daughter, who saw magic for the first time in their lives, expressed feelings of fear and mystery.
‘But what did you just say? Are you going to build a house now?’
The mysterious daughters were fascinated by the bowl that rested on their hands, but the mother found the boy’s line strange.
The strangeness soon turned into astonishment.
“It can grow later, so make it a little wider…”
The boy kept pulling out wood and other materials out of the air, and he started building a house in real time.
After about 10 minutes, a more luxurious cabin than the original house was created.
“…”
“Try it first and let me know if you have any inconveniences. And if you go over there, you will receive a settlement support set. It also includes food for your future stay, so be sure to get it.”
“Yes… Yes…”
My mother nodded with a blank expression as she watched the trees floating in the air being processed in real time into a house.
The limit on the amount of information she can absorb has been surpassed.
“From now on, you will be working in that building making things. Anyone can do it if they learn a little bit, so don’t worry just because you don’t have the skills, okay?”
After saying those words, Kaicent used magic to refine things here and there or create what was needed.
“Ha~ You were very faithful today too.”
Kaicent, who gave the new mother and daughter a new home, smiled happily.
-As expected, the owner seems to be suited for this type of job.-
“Yes. It’s very rewarding to help people with my power rather than kill them.”
Kaicent, who was continuing the pattern of training – sex – sleep, probably thought this wasn’t enough and asked Lillian to entrust him with anything he could do.
Thanks to Dyke’s activities, the rumor grew quickly, and as refugees with courage or desperation came, they were put in charge of helping them.
The boy, who until now had only used his own power to kill and defeat others, found that this was his aptitude for it and spent each day rewardingly.
“Why do people have this kind of power, but instead of helping others, they only want to kill and kill others?”
-That’s because strong power is a means to easily obtain power, money, and fame.-
Kaisent looked at his daughters who were happy to receive their new home and his mother who was crying with relief.
“Rather than that, I want to use my power peacefully that makes people smile like that.”
-That is the master’s desire to dominate.-
“Lust for dominance? What is this?”
Isn’t the desire for dominance the desire to stand above others and treat them according to one’s own desires?
Why do we call it the desire to dominate when there is such a thing as a greater cause?
– Let me ask you this in reverse. Do you feel a sense of mission to make people happy? Or is the owner doing it because it makes him feel good?-
“… I see. What I feel now when I see people’s smiles is my desire to dominate.”
A sense of duty that someone has to do is a quality of a monarch, but Kaicent hoped that people would be happy for his own feelings.
“Okay. Then I will act according to my desires. I will make sure that people no longer suffer from inhumane violence and that they can live happily every day.”
Kaicent, who became aware of his desire to dominate and make people happy, planned what he would do if he married Lillian.
-But it seems like the world wants to stop the master’s desire to conquer.-
Unfortunately, the world was denying the boy’s desire.

“You’re coming again?”
“This time, there is also a commander-level entity.”
It is three times the size.
Many commander classes that lead troops were also discovered.
“What are they thinking?”
“We probably haven’t even eaten the entire western region yet.”
“They’re attacking again after only two weeks.”
The kingdom’s army became embarrassed by the foreign media union’s abnormal behavior.
The Guardian Corps’ terrorist attacks have succeeded and the level of contamination is dropping, but instead of cleaning up the interior, they attack?
“Kang Myeong-cheol.”
“Yes. It’s definitely him.”
While everyone was perplexed, only Kaisent and Tang Seolyoung understood why they had attacked.
Kang Myeong-cheol, who suspected this side, decided to take revenge.
But even if I explained it to others, most of them wouldn’t understand, so I didn’t bother to tell them.
“Quiet.”
At that time, Lillian, who was gaining experience as queen, calmed down the confused officers.
“The enemy has committed an incomprehensible act, but the important thing is that they have attacked us again. In that case, the answer has been decided.”
Counterattack.
And she decided to take extreme measures against the enemy’s provocation.
“I am also participating in this war.”
Deploying all the strong players on this side, including myself.
“No!”
“This battle is not worthy of the Queen’s participation.”
Officers who were castaways tried to dissuade the monarch of a country from moving carelessly.
“There are two reasons.”
Lillian, who expected this opposition, gave two reasons.
“The first is that it can break the enemy’s will to attack again.”
If the strong here come out in full force and destroy each other in full force, the will to invade again will disappear.
“The second is to make us misjudge our strength.”
Currently, Kaisent and his party are getting stronger day by day due to the effects of the training ground.
If you show your strength here, you will misjudge the strength of the kingdom’s army in the war a year later.
Of course, they will expect a certain level of growth, but they will not be able to find out the speed at which the training center becomes stronger.
“It’s a problem if you’re a monarch and your ass is light, but the war a year from now is such an important war that such issues will not be treated as trivial pride.”
After saying this, I couldn’t refute it anymore.
“I’ll make sure you never do something stupid like this again.”
