Even though he was in a party, he was able to gain 14 levels in a few days! Because of the relatively low level of the rehabilitation ained an average of 20 levels during the dungeon hunt It was also coic ite as he wasn’t hunting aloneAlthough it was so valuable that he shed tears, he still had to share the ite so he couldn’t really complain……
‘I’ve old which isn’t bad’
Anyway, the hunting speeds becaroup and the NPCs had better equipment
‘I have to hunt eventime!’
“Dedric, find the next prey!”
JusticeMan turned pale when he heard Ark give the enthusiastic command
“Huk, you want to iain?”
“Yes, there’s no time”
When Ark gave the natural sounding reply, the rehabilitation members let out a cry While the NPCs inevitably had to rest, Ark and the rehabilitation group hunted without getting any sleep
“Huk huk, Ark, we’re going to die”
“Are you always like this when you play the game alone?”
“You only got 3 hours sleep last night after hunting for 30 hours non-stop! Did you even go to the gym?”
“Teacher told et many chances to happily hunt like this”
Ark replied with a s to the gym a lot
“B-bastard……!”
“Ugh…………there are two co!”
Then without any notice……No, the astute Dedric had been herding the Goats
“Son of a bitch!”
“I’ain!”
The rehabilitation ain Thus they once again spent 10 hours hunting By the time Ark reached level 180, it was time for Raiden to pay what he owed
‘Okay, I’ve achieved the level that I wanted My heart would like to earn more but……’
There was a lot of work to do before he could give the estate to Raiden So Ark ended the hunt and left the dungeon When he arrived at the Shrine of War, Raiden had reached it first and aiting nervously
“Are you ready?”
“Here it is 3,000 gold and……”
Raiden handed hi behind hi him the shoes He had taken off his equipped iteh it was related to the profit of the guild, Duke couldn’t help but stare at the shoes with bloodshot eyes before tears started falling
“Don’t worry, I’ll receive it thankfully I’ll treat it well”
“Oooh!”
Ark quickly packed the shoes while Duketo cry out But he sed the curses that rose in his throat Raiden looked at Duke apologetically and bluntly said
“Ark, now it is your turn to keep your end of the deal”
“I got it Unlike you, I keep my promises”
Ark replied before calling the priest over
“I designate the Herer”
“I understand “Thank you The siege will start tomorrow at 6 am”
The priest explained the siege information
“By this time tomorrow, the castle will be ours”
“………I got it See you tomorrow”
Ark smiled as he watched the two of them leave the shrine
‘Huhuhu, I’ve finally obtained the shoes! Now, should I look at it?’
“Information Window”
Wind Spirit’s Boots (Unique)
Armour type: Leather Shoes
Defense power: 50
Durability: 60/60
Weight: 15
User restriction: Level 150 and more
The boots are enchanted with the power of a wind spirit
A long tiendary wind spirit used these boots After the wind spirit carefully polished the leather boots, it gained the ability to speed up the wearer’s lide withoutyour feet

However, the movement speed is the same and no more than 30 metres can be exceeded Mana consumption: 10>]
He was stunned by the stats! The leather ar defense while the option was the bestAnd Ark could use the skill ‘Slide’ that he desiredimmediately The methods to utilize this skill were endless
‘All right, I’ve collected everything Since the re touches!’
So Ark restlessly returned to Silvana He visited Beraot back
“Berami, have you finished what I told you to do?”
“Yes, I’ve finished it for the moment……”
Bera that had been erected near the castle After negotiating with Raiden, Ark had ordered Bera post on the estate Of course, the h he couldn’t embezzle the money for personal use, as the Lord he could decide what the money could be used for on the estate
“Stop any other construction and create a trading post instead”
When he heard the coed face
“But that money is needed to repair the Defense Towers and castle walls But you really want me to stop that construction?”
“Of course”
Ark nodded with a calm face
“Because of the repeated sieges, the development of Silvana has been delayed and it is an unnecessary waste of money”
“That’s true but……”
“The castle shouldn’t rely on such foolish things Anyway, I have no confidence that I in in the siege In that case, shouldn’t I do so for the estate while I’ood position where it can be a trading post If we can build a trading post on the estate then it will accelerate the develop here will become a little bit better You don’t have to waste the precious funds on defending my position”
“M-my Lord!”
Berami shook for the first time He was different fro the castle! He was sincerely concerned about Silvana’s future!
………That hat he thought
However, Ark wasn’t that good of a person Berami was so impressed that he started the construction without any protest Meanwhile Ark proceeded with another plan along with Jjak-tung Shortly after the construction started, Ark contacted Wolkosu who came from Cairo
“Wolkosu ajusshi+, didn’t you e store in Selebrid before?”
“I did”
“Then do you want to operate a trading post here?”
“Trading post?”
“Yes, it is a trading post on the grounds of Silvana and ajusshi+ will receive substantial coive perive you a piece of land to live in”
“Really?”
“But there is one condition”
“What condition wouldpost in Schudenberg”
Wolkosu nodded and grabbed Ark’s hands It wasn’t possible to give the funds designate for the estate’s facilities to the userHowever the Lord could hire theso post Of course the incoo to the castle Ark wouldn’t get any profit even if the trading post did well However, Ark had learned so from Raiden
“There are also skills to overturn the rules of the game system!’
In reality, the laws in New World weren’t perfect Users could find a way to get around the rules depending on the skill While Ark purchased the land and set up the trading post, Jjak-tung fabricated soistration’! Of course, the trading post didn’t belong to Ark even if there was dual registration However, if he created two sets of books then if wouldn’t be difficult for hi the books But he definitely needed the help of the NPC in charge of the trading post The condition he required fro station was left to Sid
“I’m sorry”
Sid had o Ark and the rehabilitation old After Sid only had the 5000 gold he received back froold Alan stole through a scam But Ark just hit Sid’s shoulders and said in a soft voice
“That’s okay Sid-nim as already suffered in the prison”
“A, Ark-nim……!”
“However……wasn’t it Sid-nim’s fault that the money was lost?”
Ark replied with a set aith it Sid gave hilances and stuttered
“I-I don’t have the ht now!”
“I know, I know Do you think that I aht away? Once you earn it then you can pay me back”
“E-earn? But……”
“Huhuhu, I’ve even prepared a job for you Sid-nie the trading post here Aren’t you thankful? The job isn’t that difficult Wolkosu ajusshi+ will take care of most of it Of course, 50 of your salary will be used to pay off the 4000 gold”
“4000 gold? Eh, how come……?”
“Since you’re only paying it off with 50 of your salary, I don’t kno long it would take you to pay it all If I deposited it in a bank then I would’ve gained interest…you should be glad that I’ it more expensive”
Sid’s face withered at Ark’s words Since Ark had stared and threatened him indirectly, he had no other choice Eventually he had to write up a contract stating that he would give Ark 50 of his incoold was paid off It was the perfect slave contract! Thanks to that, Ark could so post Of course, all those preparations would be useless once Ark wasn’t the Lord anymore So Ark also proceeded with another plan
‘The secret lies within the dungeon!’
Ark had paid attention If he participated in the siege again one day, he could take advantage of the dungeon to get in Ark had a crazy idea and ordered the raccoons to create a secret passage out of the dungeon Then he had theeon It could only be penetrated using the raccoons’ skill ‘Den Destruction’……
‘That’s it, now I can use the secret passage to access the castle anytime I need to’
That was the reason why Ark willingly handed over the castle to RaidenWhile other people were struggling as the Lord to develop the castle, he could just eat up the profits! Once Ark finished all the preparations, he once again visited Berami
“Berami, how much of the castle’s funds are left?”
“Because we coold left But after paying 17,000 gold to the eold left”
“You said I was free to use the public money?”
“Yes, of course You can use it on the Lord’s personal business……”
“I would like to give the soldiers and administrative personnel a bonus”
“Yes?”
Berami’s eyes popped out So far, there have been no Lords that have given a bonus to the NPCsOf course, ive up the castle early like Ark
“Well, it’s possible but………”
“Then you can take care of the bonus for the soldiers and adold between theold”
Anyway, it was soood atmosphere and scatteredIf he used the public money so casually then there would be a setback for the future development of the castle Moreover, Ark hadn’t paid the cost of eThanks to the excessive trading post, the castle was in a serious deficit Once it fell into a serious deficit, the afterht last for several years Bera
“Everybody on the estate is thankful for the Lord’s consideration”
Even if they were NPCs, there was nobody that didn’t like money There were two reasons why Ark used the public money so carelessly One reason was to screith Raiden Ark still hadn’t forgiven Raiden’s betrayal Therefore he didn’t want Raiden to touch even one penny of the castle’s money once it was transferred to him
‘Didn’t I warn hi me? Let’s see that empty head try to handle the castle’s deficit!’
And his second purpose was for the future when he had occupied Silvana again
-Your degree of intimacy with the residents of Silvana has increased
-You have become widely known and your fame has increased by 300
Thanks to the bonus, his intimacy with the soldiers and staff quickly rose Their enthusiastic support would become useful once he had to try and take back Silvana
So one week passed like a storathered the residents and made a speech
“My work on the estate has finished Although I , I’ve tried to sincerely help everybody Now the siege will begin soonBut I have no ability to keep ht, I thought to just leave the castleBut I will proain the power to defend it!”
Ark spread his arms wide and turned towards the castle
“Goodbye Silvana, I’ll be back soon!”
“Hooray Lord Ark!”
“Kuhuk, goodbye I won’t forget My Lord!”
“You ain!”
“We ait for you My Lord!”
With tears in their eyes, Berami and the castle residents cheered like crazy
“I’ve finally got my hands on Silvana!”
Raiden said as he sat down in the office on the top floor
The castle that he had desired for so long was finally in his handsFor the ive a lot of ! Duke who looked depressed sighed and said
“Don’t forget to give the promised share of the profits to me”
“Of course Just hold on for 2 months Think of how raded to B class That Ark guy, he didn’t know the value of this castle……Kukukuk!”
“Let me tell you the financial condition of the estate”
At that tiant attitude
“Yes, speak”
“The current estate is suffering froold in its funds, and the old It is because the costs ofthe facilities haven’t been paid for a whileThe previous Lord also didn’t repair the Defense Towers and castle wallsSince it will be some time before the next tax, if you want to repair it then it will have to come out of the Lord’s personal fundsAh, we also won’t be able to pay the Lord’s salary until the deficit is cleared”
“W-wait! What did you say? 0 gold in the funds?”
“The forood man”
Beralasses and save a bonus to the residents As a result, the castle had entered a deficitRaiden didn’t understand how Ark could be considered a good Lord Bera face and said
“Do you want et?”
Now Raiden realized that he had been shot in the back by Ark
“That, that bastard……Ark! He dares……!”
Foah he had occupied the Lord’s seat, in this situation he was basically working for free But was that all? There was another siege next week It would be a tight schedule to repair the Defense Towers and castle wall But the tax would only come after a few days Even if he scraped the bottom of his personal funds, he would not be able to repair it in ti, instead it was a hippopota all his money
“Kill him You have to kill that Ark bastard no matter what it takes!”
“We have to keep the castle first”
Duke who had been restless since he lost his shoes said
“hell……It’s not possible Call everyone in the Herently secure funds and begin the repairs of the walls and Defense Towers for the moment If we have the castle taken away now then we’re screwed”
“I understand”
Duke bolted outside Raiden roughly smacked the table with his fists
“Just wait Ark……once the estate is stabilized then I’ll teach you not toto pay back this debt!”
However, Raiden’s revenge was likely to take a very long time
