Chapter 173 At the City Square. (1/2)

‘A lot of people are here’

Roland alking towards the town square, even before reaching it he could see other people pouring in A few days had passed since he returned froeon where he had scored a lot of exotic resources

He and Bernir spent so on the ore There were a lot of large chunks that consisted of volcanic rocks that needed to be chiseled down If they just threw everything into the smelter, the product would probably be worse than everyday iron

Regretfully the goleh to autoular gole that they caes

To this day hesystem that had been created by so that he had to go through was staggering Just as withforth disastrous outco the altered runic code It was easier to start froh the code to find the correlating proble on the code, it wasn’t easy It could recognize the proble solutions It did not give hie the runic code into It only lit up the faulty part of the code which could be quite long

Then even when the impleole as it wasdid was up to the runes into account If he altered the golen even by an inch he would require to alter a couple of values in the code for it to function correctly His biggest desire would be to create so that could calculate these values automatically

It was clear why other runesolem customization It was just toomodels already in circulation They would rather spend five years working as an intern to get their hands on gole up with their own

Without the professor that he caht still be stuck on a prototype spider droid The ones he hadweapons like hooks,as he kept the chassis as close to the original as he could

It was slowly beco a problem even for hie new noble that arrived in his town He required ainst the side and listened to so about

“It’s someone from the Valerian Household… but I never heard of anyone naht… it’s probably another bastard that Lord Alexander had brought into the world”

“Don’t be so loud, if the guards hear you they will lynch you!”

“Hah, you think they care? He ht be the lord but he is the leader only by naot a soood picture of the new lord that was about to appear and give an introductory speech to his people It seemed that what he previously heard was the truth, most people never even heard about this noble’s son in the first place

There could be a couple of reasons for so One of the and pushed hies of this island This would keep hiard and would show the other children that Arthur was not really co for the Duke title

Roland kneell that the battles for inheriting the titles could get bloody This was the title of the Duke, it was only second to the royal fa only a member of the royal line could achieve

This title was kind of special as it was given to one sibling of the current king That is if there was aafter the war for the croas over So one of theiven this title

Even though the title was called Archduke it didn’t mean that this forever prince had more power than a noble duke The dukes were already powerful individuals that were at si What the Archduke received at the end also depended on the king, sometimes they ended up with less than a count

“What do we even need a noble for, Albrook has been fine for years nohy do those blasted nobles only show up after all the hard work is finished”

“damn bastards probably only want to tax us eon never appeared they would have let us starve”

The various conversations continued as he noticed soh harsh ti Roland heard some stories of the old town and how life was hard before the dungeon appeared

The old residents still carried soes from the past Probably if they received soh sohts While volcanic soil was noric

With the close proxieon, the soil could be altered in bizarre ways Monstrous plants could start growing and crops could just die from oversaturation of the nutrients

‘It will probably take a while until these people warm up to the noble, that is if he doesn’t turn out to be some kind of tyrant’

What Roland feared was not the person called Arthur but the title that he was bringing with hi 6th son of a duke, he was still part of a prestigious fa if the whole city didn’t get bla times, the nobles were still law If they for any reason hurt someone from a duke's house there would be consequences, bloody ones That is of course, only if the duke cared enough about this Arthur person

Soh-nobles would distance thes, even if they perished they would be considered real noble family members In this case, there would be no repercussions and this noble would be relegated to nothing urehead with no actual power

There were some cases where low nobles were even ihts or servants kept everything running As long as the noble was alive everything was fine, their family members abandoned them and without their approval, they could not leave

This was so a proper successful runes hauled off to the old Arden estate There he ht be forced to work for the fah with his current strength he wasn’t sure if that option would be even possible anyh level tier 2 class holders that would be able to go against hiest threat as Roland didn’t think he was anywhere close to that battle maniac that spent most of his life out on the battlefield

“Hey be quiet, so”

Finally, it looked like the time for the audience with the new ‘lord’ of Albrook City The city square had been created around an old well that existed here before the dungeon appeared In its place a large fountain was placed, it looked like it wasover her shoulder from which water streamed down

Then before this fountain, they had built up a stage On it they would present nes and various other presentations From Roland’s perspective, it was kind of a waste of space as they weren’t forthcoh to host any celebrations on it
