Volume 42 Chapter 7 (1/2)
Pale, Irene, Roues didn’t call often They weren’t like Weed and found it difficult to focus a lot of their ti the day on Royal Road
Furthermore, Weed was on an intensive hunt so he needed to quickly round if necessary
After defeating the boss eon, he would immediately move on to hunt soroup then it would becoinal party needed to consent to such painful hunting in advance
Pale grabbed his hands with delight
“Really? Thank you, Weed-niled a lot in the meanti like I was falling down a long, dark tunnel towards the bottorace”
“I had forgotten that an archer is a very useful profession when hunting”
“……”
“I will use you well at a later date Maylon-nim, is that okay?”
“Of course Pale-nih!”
Pale was effectively attacked by Maylon
The rest of the party willingly agreed with it
Weed had an aard conversation with Hwaryeong again
They were friends in Royal Road but she had opened up her heart to hi next door
Hwaryeong had a cool personality and wasn’t going to quarrel with another woman
“Seo-yoon? Well, isn’t Weed-nim attractive? That charht”
And Seo-yoon nodded like it was natural
“I’o”
Pale and Zephyr were unable to speak in front of the girls
“The world is co to an end”
“This ood and wise king……”
“I’m sure this is the botto
Mapan had slightly overpriced groceries while Ga sold them for a cheaper price There were ruirlfriend was a merchant
Weed and his activities in the territory of the Arpen Kingdom was due to the increase of users with inforeon location and terrain analysis on the inforeons discovered for the first tiet the double experience! It was essential for fast growth but there were disadvantages
Gaining experience quickly wouldn’t increase the combat skill proficiency asswordsrow
If he didn’t take advantage of Sculptural Destruction while hunting then he would be much weaker than Seo-yoon
“W-Weed-nieon!”
“Kyaaaak!”
An underground dungeon consisted of several layers with the weakest monsters at the entrance and on the 1st floor Therefore, there were a large nuh level users in the north
The people who noticed Weed hunting were like a fan club
Of course, Weed could change his appearance with Sculpture Transformation but that meant he couldn’t create sculptures on his break It was also hard with the appearance of the Goddess’ Knight Armour, Van Hawk, Torido and Yellowy
Weed watched the people flocking with a frown
“Being a celebrity is tiring My personality and appearance lures in the people like a charm”
“……”
A level that he actually enjoyed!
The level of the users meant they wouldn’t interfere with the hunt It was also extremely rare to find those who could keep up with Weed and Seo-yoon’s pace
“Excuse ht be unreasonable but Weed-niift for h level users came up to him and asked His entire body was covered with equipic
“If I give you these winged boots then can you please make me a sculpture?”
Snap!
“You caot close commissioned sculptures
The sculptures that Weed made in order to raise skill proficiency would be disposed of later through Mapan He had very high popularity as a sculptor so it was easy to dispose of his products
But this type of customized products meant he could sell it at an overpriced value
“Isn’t this the best ive you a cheap product”
“Yes”
“The size is small so it is difficult……”
“Yes”
“H out the sculpture will cause an additional fee”
“Please take care of it”
He horribly increased the rates every tiold”
“Well, it is unfortunate but those shoulder pads should be enough……”
Weed was able to make extra income with his sculptures
?????????????????????????
Rebels sweeping through the Haven Empire!
-Kallamore Liberation Front
-Tullen Heroes
-Redom
-Norton nobles
-Luka River’s Resistance Army
Ever since that day, the confusion in the Haven Eiven an opportunity Faster than I thought…even so, they won’t be able to overcoave a command to the I cities and fortresses to quickly overco”
The users of the Herh alert The troops stationed at important fortresses spread to nearby areas to stop the rebellions
The ones in the Central Continent who lost to the Haven Empire! In the past, the continent was split between the prestigious guilds so they can still gain an advantage even if their poasn’t as strong
The ss by the residents were quickly swept up by the Hermes Guild users But the battles took place everywhere including the outskirts of the city, the plains, the overnment offices
“There are serious fires in the city”
“daicians”
“The fire is continuing to spread through the wooden buildings The wind is blowing it out of control”
“We have to give up the city If it becomes a lump of ash then it can’t be used as a rebel base”
The city of Peites with a long history disappeared due to fire during the fight with the rebels
It had been captured by the Embinyu Church but flourished due to Weed’s adventure But now all traces of it were gone due to fire
“Did you hear? The Imperial Army set a city on fire in order to burn us down”
“Children and adults were all burned”
“Cruel bastards Those guys are the devil”
Rumours spread like fire about the Haven Empire
It was natural since the residents of the occupied territories already disliked the Haven Eh taxes meant that rebels continued to rise in the occupied territories
Lafaye was alert and anxious as his worries became a reality
“Cavalry, enter the city”
“Sweep up the rebels tonight and then move onto the next area”
Nevertheless, thecities and fortresses and wiped up the rebels in the area The rebels were defeated by the elite troops of the Haven E then fight against the Haven Empire”
“There isn’thas disappeared”
The resistance forces and general users who received quests were defeated by theto……”
“The Her I’m sick of it, sick”
The desperate users of the Central Continent quickly o as Lafaye intended in various parts of the erain production of the Haven E The sions was impossible due to rebels or bandits
The army of the Haven Empire provided food supplies to those areas
“Food aid? In terold……”
“Lord-ni”
“Why are you asking? Store it in the warehouse Later when there is a food shortage, we can sell it at a higher price Place guards at the warehouse”
“Yes!”
The lords only cared about the the residents This was an unofficial decision but there wasn’t also a need to es rich and powerful
It took a long tiy and expand commercial policies
The lords of the Central Continent were those who obtained a large contribution in war They squeezed the residents they ruled and bribed the guards It would be better if those ar achievements would let the land recover
-Lower the taxes and improve the welfare of the people
If the lords improve the lives of the residents then rebellions won’t occur
As part of Lafaye’s post-war recovery plans, he announced an economic reconstruction plan and coions
Magic research, technological develop attractions were promoted
An astronomical amount of money of the Central Continent were spent More than one third of the Haven Empire’s treasury were invested
If the economy and lifestyle in the Central Continent improved then there was no reason for rebels or for people to leave for the north Over ti over to the Central Continent
The econoather the users and residents as well as lowering the transaction goods tax throughout the empire
However, some lords pretended to reluctantly accept this
If the taxes were lowered then their income would decrease There was no reason for them to do so They took care of themselves even when there were rebels in the area
The rebels were a good opportunity to train the soldiers If there was a complete victory then security would improve
But it was just in that area, as the adjacent regions would have their security worsen
In the hands of soer and reach out to the centre Once the rebels looted the armour and supplies, they would enter thetime to suppress them
If they weren’t completely suppressed then it would have adverse effects on peace and security and would affect the military in various ways
?????????????????????????
Lafaye launched a covert operation against the Arpen Kingdoed so there is a need to twist up the Arpen Kingdoht have calmed down but ill show them the difference once we conquer the in several cities in the Arpen Kingdom was reported to Lafaye He decided to deal with the situation
Weed was a mere adventurer so that didn’t mean he had the qualities of a ruler
A success story of a person who built Morata fro and political power needed to be demonstrated It was impossible with just coincidence or luck
“We must invest in the occupied territories of the north If the developht move”
The Haven Empire had conquered a quarter of the north
The Arpen Kingdos If the Haven Empire developed their cities then the residents would increase draood place to live
“A quarter of the north It will be a brilliant bridge to conquering the continent”
If the Haven E developdoovernor created the finest buildings and made free trade cities
The north had plenty of advantages over the Central Continent
spacious and fertile land for grain production and there were many opportunities for mine development If they increased the population of the occupied territories then a large econo between the Central Continent and Northern Continent would be a inal plan was reconstruction after destroying the north but changing that plan wasn’t a bad idea
“Urgently eating up rice cakes If everything goes well then this ht lead to a better result”
In the future, the north would play a large role in the Haven Eiven to the northern lords In the future, new cities and land will be handed to the lords”
Ruling positions would be handed out to members of the Hermes Guild ould develop the land
There were an incredible nu Lafaye’s northern developreat deal of funds were dedicated to the lords
Lafaye didn’t think of co directly with Weed
The Hermes Guild had a lot of swords that they could use And the most powerful sword called Bardray was already prepared
However, it was quite fun to cododom that Weed painfully built up would be sood enough to win by traht because he preferred this strategy Insidious ploys could soe effects
In order to draw a big picture, behind the scenes as essential
He called Steer as in charge of the Hermes Guild’s information network
“Steer-nim”
“Yes”
“Howin the north?”
“Hestiger appeared in the war out of the blue…the i so approxiht seee role on the decisive day”
“I think so as well”
Despite the rebels, the eyes of the Hermes Guild didn’t leave the north Even traitors in the north could weaken it
Lafaye had several scheered properly because of the quick destruction He hadn’t expected Hestiger to appear and for the Earth Palace to collapse
“How about the assassination of Weed?”
“It is quite difficult to keep track of hi so quickly that it is hard to find his traces”
“I heard stories that he rides the wyverns What about after he enters the dungeon?”
“His speed is faster in the dungeon And they are faeons in the north so there are many users……”
“We will be ridiculed if ru assassination Don’t act blatantly The chance will come sooner or later Do it secretly”
“We have reinforcements prepared for the assassination squads”
They wanted to interfere with and weaken Weed
It was highly likely that Weed wouldonce would cause a huge loss in skill proficiency
The reason why the Her technique Weed obviously acquired the skill but didn’t use it in the war for some reason
In the next war, Weed was likely to use it against Bardray so they wanted to check the identity of the skill
‘Aard and uncomfortable It won’t be difficult to cope with if we know it in advance Perhaps it is a complicated skill that will release a concentrated attack to kill the other person But 1 person can’t change a war’
Lafaye issued a new instruction to theues?”
“Of course There are the colleagues he has been hunting with since his novice days and the 500 Muksabal Knights”
“I know that there are some celebrities……”
“Maylon A talk show host on the Versailles Continent But she didn’t participate in the war As a broadcast official, she must appear neutral And the other one is a user called Hwaryeong Singer Jung Hyo-rin ssi A celebrity well known in reality and she hasconstantly danced in the main hall of Morata
Brilliant perforht, fire, water droplets or ice flowers that seemed like a solo concert
Naturally she had explosive popularity!
It was coe But none of the’s performances
“Does she have a close relationshi+p with Weed?”
“It is significant She helps hi her to our side is absolutely impossible?”
“That……”
Well known celebrities were Weed’s colleagues
But there was no end to hureed Even a close friend would betray soht Especially with a person like Weed who cast a large shadow
There were sure to be colleagues jealous of Weed’s fame and achieveiven coues and the Muksabal Knights I think gaining some of them isn’t impossible I will contact them To what extent can I offer?”
“The position of lord for one of the occupied territories and 1 year of financial support The Muksabal Knights pursue strength so offer them skills and a mercenary position The only ones left are Maylon and Hwaryeong? Give them the position of lord in any area of the Central Continent they desire It will be worth it”
?????????????????????????
Weed felt it while hunting in the Arpen Kingdom
