Chapter 900: Magic Monster Nests
The magic monster nests.
The monsters tore through space and came to this plane of existence. All in all, they were similar to the elves summoned from the Seven Fantasy Boundaries. But unlike the elves, the monsters weren’t as obedient. If Rhode weren’t the dragon soul heir, it would be tough to gain their cooperation because all they cared about was the guarantee of their habitat. On the other hand, the dragon soul heir would promise the leader of the monsters that their rights wouldn’t be compromised in exchange for their assistance. No matter if the humans were kind or evil, the monsters seldom interacted with them and not even the overlord would have any advantages in the negotiation. If the territories of the Dragon Soul Continent were considered an apartment and the dragon soul heir was the property manager, the leader of the monsters would only be one of the occupants. If the property manager came knocking on its door seeking for rental payment while asking for its help, it would naturally obey. But it would be an entirely different matter if it were the other occupants who sought help because no matter if the other occupants were kings, rulers, or military generals, they were just occupants like them.
In the game, players tried all kinds of ways to finally receive the recognition of the leader of the monsters. Of course, these were minority cases especially in the Country of Light because the Light Parliament was composed of human supremacists. The monsters decided to not get along with humans, so this made it much harder for players to gain their trust.
In every territory, it was common to find at least two to three magic monster nests. But now, Rhode had seven and even though this meant that his strength could be enhanced to a certain extent, this caused him trouble too. After all, players had no lack of interactions with these monsters. Except for the harmless Fairies, the remaining creatures weren’t easy to deal with. Perhaps they would break into a killing if they were gathered at one place. Of course, with the holy sword cards as precedent, those monsters should be able to get along well too… But who knew?
Rhode handed the establishment of the financial distribution system and political affairs to Marlene because he wasn’t experienced in these fields. Even though this compromised his prestige, he had never attempted to hide this side of him. In fact, he wasn’t knowledgeable in economics, politics, and finances because they weren’t required of players due to the settings of the game. All players needed to worry about was what they should spend on or sell away. Which player would care about the problems of inflation or deflation anyway? Of course, players would still possess the basic knowledge of adjusting price increases or reductions in the market.
If this were reality, no one knew what would happen to the economy…
Rhode clearly knew about this.
Since you can’t lead and I don’t have expertise in these fields, I can only leave them to the experts.
Just like the issue with the refugees in the Land of Atonement earlier on, Rhode simply gave Marlene the goal of ‘making jobs for the refugees and ensuring they don’t wreak havoc’ and as a result, Marlene, Ann, and Canary discussed and resolved it.
While Marlene settled the technical issues, Rhode would naturally be in charge of leadership.
