Chapter 250 – Are You Dissatisfied?
The Shadow Emperor has been defeated!
The church’s information control was lifted, and the news spread throughout the empire.
“Heh! “The denomination is talking nonsense.”
“Oh, no way. “I didn’t even hear that there was a war, so I lost something.”
The people of the empire who first heard the news, including nobles and commoners, did not believe it.
Everyone thought the news was a bluff by the church to suppress the rebels.
Of course, it is safe to say that Shadow Emperor William Armstrong was an empire itself.
He had power surpassing that of the emperor, the top of the empire was entirely his, and he had excellent knights and many soldiers under his command.
If he had had the will to do so, the emperor’s crown would have been his in an instant.
But that person lost? How can one easily believe that?
Moreover, the other news that came along with that news were all absurd.
Isn’t it said that those who were powerful enough for William to personally visit and persuade them were thrown out onto the streets along with William?
Didn’t the marquis’ castle, which boasted a history and tradition older than the imperial palace, and the troops armed with expensive magic tools and artifacts disappear in an instant?
Isn’t it said that six out of the ten empires, which had such power that they were called one-man armies, joined William and were defeated together?
Even if there was only one, we heard news that was hard to believe at the same time.
It was rather strange to believe the news.
But that’s only for a moment
“What! “Is it true that the Shadow Emperor was defeated?”
“All the other news is true?”
It turned out that the strange news that the merchants who had gone to the Marquis’ territory, various information guilds, and people who had been thrown out on the streets by Jun opened their mouths and believed was actually true.
“Did the church have that much power? No, was it even possible to win the game this quickly? Well, whatever. Now that the Shadow Emperor is gone, life feels a little better. Let’s drink today!”
“Right now! Cancel any plans you made right now! Stop the soldiers’ training! And find out why the Order was able to defeat him. “By all means!”
When that happened, those who lived the day faithfully drank and sang about the greatness of the religious order, while those who spent the daydreaming of vain delusions began to hurriedly put things in order.
There were many other reactions, such as trying to quickly tie the knot with the owner of the new empire or being greedy if not an empty delusion, but there was only one common reaction…
“What! “All of that was achieved through the power of one person?”
“Who is that person? What? “An ordinary adventurer?”
It was to find out about an adventurer who brought victory to the church.
Adventurer Jun.
The name, which was only used among adventurers and those in power, has finally spread widely throughout the empire.
――――――
Hehe. It’s a bonanza. It’s a bonanza.”
Meanwhile, the owner of that name was engrossed in treasure hunting without knowing it.
“Dohwa, how much will this cost?”
“I think one gold coin will be enough.”
The ruins that used to be Marquis Castle were such a treasure trove that it was said to be a gold mine.
Magical tools and artifacts that penetrate the ‘third hand’ popped out.
Because of the two outbursts I made to make William good, I wasn’t particularly disappointed, although there was little success.
Unearned income was a joy no matter how big or small it was, and objects containing mana could be disposed of at a high price even if they were broken.
Hum!
“Uh? Huh? This can’t be right!”
Sometimes, I found an intact magic tool or artifact, but at that time, it was literally like digging up mithril.
In order to withstand the explosion of Rebecca’s special bomb, its function must be focused on defense or its durability must be high due to its high level, but the latter was secretly common.
Approximately one hundred magical tools and silver-grade artifacts with intermediate level magic were discovered,
A total of 30 magic tools and gold-grade artifacts with advanced magic were discovered.
Among the gold grade artifacts was the premium wizard series (belt) he had been looking for, so Jun cheered loudly for the first time in a long time.
Unlike the ruins that were such a hit, nothing of note was found in the Armstrong family’s secret warehouse discovered by Rebecca and White.
It appears that most of the items in the warehouse were disposed of or handed over to subordinates for the purpose of the trap.
“Write it. “If I do this, I’m leaving.”
Unless you are an idiot, you will be able to easily guess where the items in the warehouse have disappeared.
They will immediately infer that he distributed it to the troops under his command. It’s unfortunate, but it looks like we’ll have to release some of the treasures found in the ruins.
“Are you the only one eating? “Let’s eat some too.”
That evening, Franco, who returned from checking the warehouse as if that was the answer, asked me to share his acquisitions.
The Sword Saint also continued to clear his throat behind him and gave him a silent look.
I had no choice but to give them one-third of each item on the condition that they would have priority over the acquired items and serve as a shield to prevent troublesome things.
At first glance, you might think that they were giving out too much, but in reality, that wasn’t the case at all.
Gold grade artifacts are so rare that they can only be obtained through group effort.
Even high-ranking noble families only had a few, and even rankers exploring the labyrinth only had one or two.
It was quite surprising for an individual to be assigned 10 such items.
‘This probably means that the church and the empire value my power and fear it at the same time.’
After nodding with satisfaction, I opened the entrance to Dowonhyang.
Now that we had decided how to divide the finds, it was time to decide what to do with the captured hostages.
“Ugh! I think I’ll buy something now!”
“That’s right. “Where on earth is it?”
“Joy! What do you know anywhere? “I never want to go anywhere again.”
“I agree. “My appearance was beautiful enough to suit me, but my mana was not beautiful at all.”
“I felt like an uninvited guest. It felt like the world itself was rejecting us.”
“…”
The five Empire Ten Stars who were carried out by the Pink Birds sighed in relief, their faces as pale as those who had been rescued just before drowning.
They were at least noblemen.
William, who was detained in Dowonhyang with them, collapsed with foam on his lips and was unable to come to his senses.
“Dohwa, you should have adjusted it a little. Even if that person has mana, he can’t cause trouble.”
All the mana in Taowonhyang was created by the nectarine tree, which is the main body of Taohwa.
As a result, Dohwa was able to naturally control the mana within Dowonhyang at will, and of course, it was possible to not only prevent it from being absorbed by certain people, but also make them hostile.
This world’s Lumen’s superpower mechanism is not the popular method in novels of storing mana and then drawing it out when needed, but absorbing and converting mana in the air as soon as you use the superpower.
The 10 Stars of the Empire who were trapped in Daowonhyang must have felt like a powerless ordinary person who could not use their supernatural abilities for the first time in a long time.
The 10-star moniker may not have been chosen as a slap in the face, but unlike William, it seems he has endured the hostility contained in his mana.
‘No, it’s still a little strange. It’s just that he’s not good enough compared to them, but William’s ability level isn’t that low either. No matter how much mana I can use, it doesn’t make sense that I can’t withstand the enemy.’
Jun looked at Dohwa, who must have secretly done something.
“I’m sorry. There’s a lot of stuff piled up, so you don’t even notice the notebook…”
In response to that gaze, Dohwa glared coldly at William and replied.
“Hmm. Okay, okay.”
June did not reprimand her.
Instead, I searched my memory to see if any of the elixirs I obtained this time were good for stamina.
Looking at Dohwa’s blazing eyes, it seemed like her wives’ sexual desires had reached their limit, and since the operation was finally over, it seemed like they had to have a storm for the first time in a long time.
“Hey. “Is that the guy who defeated Gungseong with one blow?”
“Bandit. “If you don’t want an arrow hole in his head, just shut up.”
At that time, Busung, who was looking around, spoke to Jun.
Gungseong hurriedly growled a warning as if he guessed what he was going to say, but he paid no heed to Jun, staring intently at his face and waiting for his answer.
“Yes, I am right. “I sent him to one room.”
“W-what are you talking about!”
Since it wasn’t something to keep secret, he quietly nodded.
Then, Gungseong turned her face bright red, almost like an apple, and shouted, ‘Bwaaek!’
I was just telling the truth. Why are you so angry?
You probably didn’t understand it in a strange way, did you? Huh?
