The Wise Lord - Chapter 142



Chapter 142 – Bug’s Ruben (1)

Tring! Tiri-ri-ring! Tring! Tring!

The loud beeping sound continued.

At the same time, the smartphone woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! vibrated constantly.

《Go crazy! Go crazy!!”

《You’re crazy right now!!!》

The appearance of the mobile lord as if having a seizure.

Before long, countless notification windows popped up on the screen.

“No! That’s not it!!!”

“Think carefully! Think about it again!”

“How did you gather cause and effect! What kind of hard work did you earn gold!!

“Are you thinking of wasting it all at once?!”

Tring! Tiriling!

《Hyunjil isn’t just for mobile lords!》

“Above all, nothing good will happen to you if you stick around here, right?”

《Everything goes only to the people of the territory!》

《So, at least once in your present life, try a hyeonjil!》

Tring! Tiri-ri-ring!

《Let’s buy some luxuries in real life!》

“Walpurgis Night! yes? Let’s have a little fun!”

《Let’s do some flexes while being nervous!》

《Whatever you want to buy, buy everything! Enjoy, enjoy everyone!”

《Prepare a little gift for yourself!》

《After that, do the hyeonji slowly and carefully!》

《Still, no one can say anything!》

Hold on.

Xian turned off all notification windows that came to mind.

Well, it’s only once or twice that the mobile lord does this.

This time, the level was a bit excessive.

The look of desperately trying to stop Xian’s status.

So Xian could be sure.

The reality of 32 million gold.

This is a cause and effect that the mobile lord has a hard time dealing with.

Xian made up his mind and entered the 【Manor Facility】 item.

That moment.

Tiri-ri-ring!!!!

《Go crazy! Really crazy!!”

The mobile lord started having seizures once again.

《Really, what happened to your hair??!!?》

“At this level, my head was broken by accident!”

“you! I’m out of my mind right now oh oh oh !!!!

The mobile lord’s scream that seemed to explode.

At the same time, a strange notification window popped up.

Tring!

《A special event for you like Hogu!》

《Limited to one time only, we will inform you in detail about the amount you have spent so far!》

《My name is, ‘Where did all my wise money go?’》

《Check it out right now and try to sew up your broken head!》

‘How much money have I spent all this time?’

Xian tilted his head at the sudden notification window.

【Where did all my money go?】

And the blinking notification window pops up again.

Apparently, it seems to be giving you smart money in the meantime.

‘I’m a little curious about this?’

Hold on.

Xian touched the notification window this time.

At the same time, the screen changed and unknown codes quickly appeared and disappeared.

It’s like you’re working on something.

So little time passed.

『We will inform you of the causal payment history so far.』

I came up with a notification window that felt quite different from the mobile lord.

And again.

[Package purchase cost] – 613,000 gold.

【Territory Area Expansion】 – 1 million gold.

[Purchasing Arnaise privileges] – 1.5 million gold.

[Reputation point conversion cost] – 7 million gold.

[Equipment enhancement cost] – 13 million gold.

.

.

“… crazy.”

Xian murmured involuntarily.

“You said you screamed this much?”

That’s because the actual amount was more than I thought!

It didn’t even end here.

[Military facility] – 8.8 million gold.

[Production Facility] – 5.2 million gold.

[Residential Facility] – 1.4 million gold.

[Transportation Facility] – 380,000 gold.

[Other facilities and maintenance costs] – 437,000 gold.

【Territory Facility Construction Cost】 -16,217,000 gold.

The cost of Xi’an’s construction of territory facilities.

So, if you add up all the amounts that Xi’an has spent on mobile lords so far…

【Total cost】 – 39.32 million gold.

“·······················

Xian was at a loss for words to stop.

No, I’m at a loss for words.

Blinking, flickering letters.

【Total cost】 – 39.32 million gold.

The words… the words…

It was an absurd amount.

Based on the Charlotte Empire, the monthly cost of living for a family of four was about 30 gold.

About 30 gold was enough to live in moderation.

And 33.92 million gold that Xi’an made.

To be precise, the 33.92 million gold ‘spent’ was enough for a family of four to live for 110,000 years.

It wasn’t 11 years.

No less than 11 ‘million’ years.

A family of four was able to breathe and live for 110,000 years with the gold that Xi’an had ‘lost’.

No, if you do nothing and just breathe, you will be able to live longer.

If you really breathe, you might live for 120,000 years.

In a word, a thousand years ago, the six Arnaises were able to live for as many as 120 times.

This… I couldn’t express it even with an astronomical amount.

Terrible, terrible, harsh, extreme.

Again, awesome, solemn, stunning.

Amount of money that cannot be expressed in terms of language.

A truly ridiculous amount!

It was like Xi’an had rammed into the mobile lord here.

And what Xian is doing now.

So, this finger right now trying to demolish the entire territory and rebuild it.

It was to return all the money that had been spent so far to nothing.

Turning to nothing that terrible and unspeakable sum.

It was crazy to pour in a new 32 million gold!

“Are you awake now? How much of a hunk you are!”

《Ha ha ha ha ha!》

The notification window of the mobile lord floated on the screen along with a notification sound.

“·····················

And this time, I couldn’t bear to press the X button.

Why do we need to reorganize Ruben with a new blueprint?

Although the Dark Elves would be uncomfortable…

Will you get used to it with time anyway?

What is the world tree…

Wouldn’t it be okay to plant it in an empty vacant lot?

It’s the world tree, the world tree that supports the world.

Then, even if you plant it roughly, shouldn’t it take care of itself?

How much more is it Instiz?

The Instiz that Elodie used?

All sorts of thoughts ran through Xian’s head.

But that’s for a while.

tight.

Xian closed his eyes tightly.

trembling, trembling fingers.

Xian pressed the X button in the notification window of the mobile lord that finally popped up.

Tring!

“What, what, what, what, what?!”

Then, the bewildered mobile lord’s notification window popped up again.

However, Xian tried to ignore it and pressed the X button once more.

And access the [territory facility] item.

I put my finger on the [Removal of Territory Facility] item located in one corner.

Belt, belt!

“Ji-ji, what are you doing now! What the hell are you doing right now—!”

Hold on.

“I’m crazy! You are really crazy!”

Hold on.

“Oh my God! At this level, it is impossible to suture—!!”

Hold on.

«No, it is impossible to revive—!»

Hold on.

《Even if your head breaks, break it firmly!!》

Ignoring the cries of the mobile lord, Xian raised his finger on the demolition item.

My fingers trembled randomly, as if an earthquake had struck.

I tried to calm down, but I couldn’t calm down at all.

If you press this button, tens of millions of gold will fly.

In the meantime, everything you’ve worked hard for will be reset.

“Damn it!!”

Even if I wanted to calm down, I couldn’t!

However, Xi’an finally made up his mind.

The contract period with Durak is now two months.

In two months, we must prepare for an all-out war against Ellandur.

The fate on which Ruben’s life and death depended was not something to be measured with money.

30 million gold, 300 million gold, and Nabal.

If you lose to Elandur, it’s useless.

Money is meant to be spent.

If you just pile it up, it’s just a pile of sh*t.

It is only when you use and use it for people that it has true value as money.

Of course, it’s a different story if it’s a shiny lump of golden sh*t.

It’s a different story if a family of four is sh*t that can live and breathe for 120,000 years.

If you want to know when you can do sh*t like this again, the real story is different, but…!!!

“Damn it!!!!”

Xian let out a shout that resembled a roar.

At the same time, Semir quietly looked angry and surprised.

But I didn’t care.

No, there was no time to worry.

erase thoughts

Cut out the clutter.

This is not an opponent for idle thoughts.

Xian fell into a mental trance and finally pressed his finger down.

Hold on.

[Destroy all designated territory facilities.]

[Once demolition begins, it cannot be undone.]

[Do you still want to do it?]

Then the notification of the system that asked again came to mind.

At the same time, the notification window of the lord of mobile came to mind.

『J-J-J, it’s not too late now!』

“Hey, stop! Stop it!

The mobile lord has been ripped off while glowing.

But Xian did not stop.

“Ah, no…! no···!! no!!!!”

A horse running through the wilderness out of the stables.

《No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.》

don’t look back

so.

“Open your mouth.”

Enter gold.

《That’s not it!!!!!!!!!!》

Hold on.

#

A dark forest near Leuven.

There, the residents of Leuven were huddled together.

As well as those of the original Ruben.

Even dwarves and dark elves.

All the territories living in Leuven gathered together and came out.

And the reason why all the territories suddenly came out like this was simple.

“What are you thinking, Bocchan-nim…”

None other than Xian’s order.

Hans replayed the conversation he had with Xian earlier.

‘Are you saying I should take the locals and go out of Ruben?’

‘uh.’

At Hans’ question, Xian lightly nodded.

Seeing Xian’s appearance, Hans asked cautiously.

‘May I ask why?’

‘Oh, it’s nothing. Because I’m going to redevelop Ruben. I don’t want people to get hurt by staying in the manor for nothing.’

Xian gave a light answer once again.

However, Hans could not take it lightly.

It was accurate to say that I did not understand.

Redeveloping Ruben?

So you mean tearing and fixing Ruben?

‘······?’

Hans couldn’t understand Xian’s words at all.

Well, the redevelopment of territory was a common case even in the empire.

The facilities in the manor are aging.

If you can’t keep up with the development of the times as time goes by.

Whenever that happened, the lords pushed away all such outdated places and built a new one under the name of redevelopment of the territory.

So it was not particularly strange that Ruben was also redeveloping.

But Ruben didn’t need redevelopment at all.

Not to mention that the facility is outdated.

Ruben’s facilities were almost at the level of bringing civilization to another dimension.

And can’t keep up with the times?

Well, this was somewhat acceptable.

In other words, it means that the continent is not keeping up with Ruben’s phase of the times.

In a word, Ruben did not need redevelopment at all.

No, yes.

Let’s concede a hundred times and redevelopment.

However, the redevelopment of the estate took a considerable amount of time.

There was no way that the process of overthrowing the territory itself would happen in a short period of time.

Basically, the time consumed is in years.

In the case of large estates, it takes 10 years.

But what about Xi’an now…

‘If everything goes according to plan, it will be over soon. Even if the plan goes a little off… Well, it’s enough if you’re smart. So take the locals and go out of Ruben for a while.’

Xian used the word ‘soon’.

common sense of the empire. and the concept of language.

The word soon is usually less than one year.

1 year is bullsh*t.

This usually meant about 5 minutes.

30 minutes at most.

In a word, I used the word ‘quickly’ for the time according to the ‘minute’ unit.

Manor redevelopment is done in minutes?

‘What is that now…?’

Hans couldn’t help but be very suspicious of Xian’s words.

But Xian didn’t say anything different.

Hans had no choice but to follow Xian’s words.

Hans brought out the people of the territory according to Xi’an’s instructions.

And now.

“·······”

Hans still had doubts.

It wasn’t that I didn’t believe Xian.

In the meantime, there was also a side that Xian showed.

But even taking all that into account, Xi’an’s words didn’t really make sense.

Hans looked at the panoramic view of Ruben far away with a complicated and delicate feeling.

And just then.

“I heard your name is Hans.”

Someone approached Hans and started talking.

The place where I turned my head and looked.

There, a black-haired man with a blunt atmosphere.

Aslandis, the former forest keeper of the Dark Elves, was standing there.

Unlike the gray-haired Hans, Aslandis looks like a middle-aged man.

Outwardly, Hans was older than him.

However, the lifespan of Dark Elves was different from that of humans.

At first glance, he looked like a middle-aged man in his 40s, but Aslandis had lived a long time.

Of course, I didn’t ask in detail.

However, Hans knew at first glance that Aslandis was over 100 years old.

“Thank you for helping us elves. I don’t think it’s a bit late to say hello… but I really wanted to say it.”

“This is what I have to do. Never mind.”

Hans shook his head softly.

Nevertheless, Aslandis bowed his head towards Hans and continued.

“It is true that what I had to do helped the elves. It’s not that I’m not thankful for that fact.”

Hans is in charge of Ruben’s administration.

Hans volunteered to help the Dark Elves adapt to Ruben.

because they are of different races.

And they were not discriminated against or excluded because they were foreigners from other countries.

Like my job, like my family, Hans helped the Dark Elves.

Perhaps it would not have been easy to adapt to Ruben without Hans.

Aslandis bowed his head towards Hans sincerely.

Hans couldn’t say anything else about Aslandis’ sincerity.

silence for a while.

Eventually, Hans spoke slowly.

“How did you adjust?”

“·······”

Aslandis did not answer Hans’ question.

Usually it’s okay, even if it’s just empty words.

Aslandis could not bear to say such a thing.

And Hans fully understood Aslandis’ feelings.

It was a situation where I couldn’t even bring out the words that it would be okay.

It was more difficult than I thought.

That is, people of different races live together.

Even the same human beings get into trouble when they live under the same roof.

Even more so, if the race is different, and the lifestyle itself is different.

It’s a shame because the area around Ruben was a dark forest.

If it wasn’t for that, I couldn’t have been forced to live.

Above all, there was no World Tree in Leuven.

Elves nurture the forest, and the forest nurtures the elves.

This is an identity rooted in the race of elves.

But Ruben couldn’t keep that identity.

That’s why Ruben was not a suitable place for Dark Elves to live.

however.

“You will get used to it in no time.”

Aslandis said:

And not only Asrandis, but other Dark Elves as well.

Because if it wasn’t here, they had no place to live.

Dark elves abandoned by the world.

Because there was no place on the continent to accept them.

The last home of the abandoned.

But Ruben…

I couldn’t hold them.

“The young master will provide a way.”

“We’re just following the forest keeper’s opinion.”

Hans and Aslandis swallowed each other’s words like that.

Then, the two of them slowly turned their gazes to the whole view of Ruben.

A fantastic place for humans to live.

“······ huh?”

“······ hmm?”

For an instant, the heads of Hans and Aslandis tilted at the same time.

The scenery of Ruben that he can see now.

“Is Ruben… gone?”

Ruben’s majestic appearance just a moment ago had disappeared!

“Oh, no…?”

“Eh, what is this…?”

Hans and Aslandis were greatly perplexed.

And just then.

Kururureureung…!!

The ground I was standing on vibrated greatly.

At the same time, it’s rumbling!!

There was a huge explosion that seemed to turn the world upside down.

“What, what!”

“Suddenly, what is this…!”

The young people who had gathered were very confused and agitated.

And the locals looked around in search of the source of the sound.

“excuse me! Look over there!”

Then someone pointed a finger at one of the mouths and shouted.

People’s gaze moved along the finger.

There, he saw none other than Ruben.

exactly.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!!!

Kururureung!!

I could see Ruben falling apart!

“······Eh?”

“······huh?”

In an instant, people’s faces went blank.

And once again.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!!!

Kururureung!!

An enormous explosion erupted all over Ruben.

Then the whole land shook as if a major earthquake had occurred.

A dense fog of dust.

People couldn’t understand the situation at all.

“Uh, what’s that…!”

“Is Ruben… falling apart?”

It is also true that Ruben collapses.

Because that was nonsense.

What kind of place is Ruben supposed to collapse?

A heavenly fortress and a fortress.

A place where monsters become a special product of Ruben.

Such Ruben has now become a place that cannot be collapsed.

No, there was only one.

“Evil! The devil has attacked!”

“All ready for battle!”

At the same time as the shouts erupted, Ruben’s soldiers lined up.

Ruben’s soldiers are gathering around Lucas.

Ruben’s knights lined up around Kendrick.

In an instant, the soldiers who finished their combat readiness drew their weapons.

And with a nervous face, he looked at Ruben as the dust fog slowly settled.

The scenery of Leuven that can be seen as the dust fog settles.

pop.

Ruben’s troops, who were forming a rank, stopped all at once.

The scenery of Ruben that he can see now.

So, the panoramic view of Ruben seen from a distance.

It is everywhere the eye can reach.

Everywhere the eyes reach.

The whole of Leuven, the landscape of Leuven.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!!

Kwah kwah kwah kwah!!

Because it was overturned and built anew!

A wondrous sight that makes the hair stand up straight and give you a shudder.

Is that… is that really real?

“·······”

“·······”

“·······”

People just stood there, stiff as stone statues.

#

Xi’an’s office located in Lord’s Castle Lv.2.

Kudangtangtang!

jump!

With a great commotion, the door to Xian’s office burst open.

And a series of people pouring in,

“young master!!”

“Lord!!”

“Forest Keeper!”

-Master!!

-draft!!

Hans, Grayson, Lucas, Amelia, Aslandis, Kendrick, Leah.

They called Xian by each title.

And they could see right away.

One corner of Xi’an’s office.

“hahahahaha!!”

See Xian bursting into laughter!

tall

As if pouring in, the bodies of the people who had come in suddenly stiffened.

As if they didn’t understand the current situation, their expressions all went blank.

A situation where you don’t know what’s what.

“Hey, lord…”

A low voice came through.

where they looked at each other.

There, the chief of the dwarves, Semir, was looking at Xian with a frightened expression.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

And Xian’s laughter came again.

People looked at Semir with their own eyes.

The eyes were different, but the meaning was not different.

The question as to what the hell happened here.

but.

“My, don’t ask me…”

Semir just shook his head with a puzzled expression.

And a word that followed.

“I-I don’t know too well…”

Semir looked like he really didn’t know anything.

No, it was a face I didn’t want to know exactly.

“You were with the young master, weren’t you?”

“That’s right…”

Semir didn’t know how to explain this.

“I-how should I explain this…”

No kidding, I really couldn’t figure it out!

That would be the case, and Semir had only made the blueprints Xian had requested.

Xian accepted the blueprint and soon took out a strange object from his bosom.

Then, suddenly, Xian’s expression hardened.

Again, Xian shuddered and shook his body.

That was all.

That was all Semir saw.

It was just that.

“Kkeuhhakhakhakhakhak!!!”

Suddenly Xian went crazy like that!

No, that wasn’t the level of madness.

“Okay!! Why don’t you try to mess with it!”

Madness.

Yeah, it was madness.

“Like last time, where do you want to try it!!”

That was plain madness!

Rurrr

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!

At that moment, a huge explosion erupted outside the castle.

Outside the looking window, the whole of Ruben was turning upside down.

A place of redevelopment.

No, even with the word redevelopment, I couldn’t fully express it.

“The laws of the world… are being overturned…?”

Aslandis’ words echoed softly.

Aslandis, the great mage of the 8th rank.

Although he lost his powers now, his magical knowledge did not go anywhere.

And, as Aslandis put it, it was a landscape that seemed to have an error in the laws of the phenomenal world.

But does an error occur in the strict laws of the world?

does that make sense?

People were at a loss for what to say.

Only.

“What? Are you really kidding? under! Let’s see if you can get away with it!”

The twinkling eyes of Xian.

“Throwing 10 million gold…!”

Gugguguguguguguk.

“Damn it!!!!! MY MONEY!!!”

Only those two eyes were emitting a red glow.
