Chapter 72: Gains from the Realm of Light

"Young Master, should I save him or leave him be?"

Wil thought for a while and replied, "bail him out and get the details what feud Cericia has with him.

Don't divulge the relation between me and Cericia.

Just tell him that I'm a friend of Lee Jiwon and saw coincidentally saw the arrest. Using our connections, we found the mastermind behind his arrest. Simple."

"Understood, young master."

30 minutes later, Silver called him once again. 

"Is it done?

Silver replied, "Yes, Young master. He just went home but the case looks strong. Honestly, I don't think its worth to clash with the police over him.

They haven't informed the press too. I bet once he agrees to Miss Rodin's demand, the case will be closed.

I'm also worried about Miss Rodin's reaction once she realizes Scarlet is involved."

Wil then said, "It doesn't matter. I want to know what Cericia's demand is. Just tell me what you found."

"Looks like Miss Rodin also play the same game young master plays daily. She wanted Chun Yongmin to join her organization. When he didn't agree, I guess she wanted to use force to subdue him. It is a good tactic I should say…" explained Silver.

Upon hearing him Wil was taken aback, "just for this? Alright. I know how to deal with it. By the way, contact him again and find out her organization's name and his in-game name."

After disconnecting the call, Wil logged out immediately and dialed a number as soon as he stepped out of the capsule.

"Hello, Williard?"

"Hello, Uncle Walter. Sorry for disturbing you at this time," spoke Wil as if they are close.

On the other side, while Walter was also taken aback upon hearing this changed tone of Wil, the latter continued, "there's a situation here regarding Cherry."

"What happened?" asked Walter as he quickly stepped down from the bed.

"Ah, nothing happened to her, Uncle. She's fine. It's just she used your authority and arrested an acquaintance of mine in a drug bust over a petty feud inside a game.

That guy is still a High school sophomore. Although I bailed him out, the case is still there."

"What… That little… I'll immediately enquire about it," growled Walter as he disconnected the call.

15 minutes later, while Cericia is busy cursing around Wil and throwing things away in anger, Wil received a call from Walter stating that everything is solved.

After the matter is settled, Wil returned to the game and continued to sleep to enjoy his free exp.

The next day afternoon, in the royal guestroom, Lord Raziel and General Gerrad were standing before Wil while the soldiers were carrying large pouches and put it on the floor.

After they were done with it, Gerrad sent them away and said, "His majesty ordered me to hand over your share of the gains from the hidden realm. Excuse me…"

As he excused himself and left the room, Raziel took out a small pouch and spoke, "as his majesty promised, you can have any one of the items present in this storage bag."

Instead of taking out the items one by one, the Archangel just poured all of them on to the floor as if they were just worthless items in his eyes.

Hundreds of augment-stones, Hp and mana potions, a Heroic grade pet scroll, a Resurrection scroll, three skill books, and four level-200 epic grade equipment fell on the floor.

But, nothing caught his eyes as his entire attention was on the last two items.

Wil heart skipped a beat, "A legendary grade boots."

After glancing at both of the items for a whole minute, Wil sighed "Damn, what a loss."

He closed his eyes and picked up the glowing stone, "I'll choose this stone, Lord Raziel."

"Eh?" Raziel was clearly taken aback by his choice as he expected him to choose the legendary grade boots. But, he didn't question Wil's decision and waved his hand. All the items on the floor disappeared and went back into the storage bag.

"Okay, now that my job is done, I'm leaving." Raziel then turned around and walked away while Wil bowed lightly and sent him away.

After he exited from the room, Wil quickly locked it from inside before taking out a corrupted gold coin from his inventory without caring much about the seven large pouches on the floor.

After placing a corrupted gold coin on the bed, he touched it with the stone on his hand.

Suddenly, it glowed for a fraction of second before he received a notification.

*Ding. You purified a corrupted gold coin.

"Good. Now, let's continue with the rest."

He took out one of the pouches from the inventory and poured the coins from it on the bed.

After spreading it evenly, Wil then started touching each one with the stone and purifying it while receiving continuous notifications.

Two hours later, 

*Ding. You purified a corrupted gold coin.

"Finally." Wil stretched his body as he added the final gold coin to his currency.

Looking at the number of gold coins, a smile appeared on Wil, "with the addition of 3675 gold coins, I have 4355 in total. Now, let's see my gains..."

It was only after that, Wil opened the pouches to see his gains.

The first pouch contained light fruits. He skipped it and threw it aside as he already knew about it's effects.

Then he opened the second pouch to find small crystals bright red in color emitting the heat.

Fire Crystal

Grade: Low

Description: Crystals formed by the mixture of lava and volcanic rock over the years. Use it on equipment to increase their damage.

Effect: +10% fire attack when used it on a weapon, +10% fire resistance when used it on other equipment.

"only low grade? Ugh... Not much of use to me."

Then, he threw the third and fourth pouches aside as they too contain low-grade fire crystals and light fruits.

As he opened the fifth pouch, he saw fire crystals smaller in number but bigger in size.

Fire Crystal

Grade: Medium

Description: Crystals formed by the mixture of lava and volcanic rock over the years. Use it on equipment to increase their damage.

Effect: +50% fire attack when used it on a weapon, +50% fire resistance when used it on other equipment.

The sixth pouches contain several medicinal flowers and three red loti while the last one contained normal gold coins.

Fire Lotus

Description: A lotus that was grown on a lava lake.

Effect: Consume to gain 20% fire resistance permanently.

Medicinal Flower

Description: A material used for crafting potions. 

Then, he started counting all of them before placing them in the inventory.

"296 Light fruits, 165 low-grade fire crystals, 18 Medium-grade fire crystals, 3 Fire lotus, wow... 126 medicinal plants and flowers. Oh... 135 gold coins, not bad. If only there are high-grade crystals... sigh...

Now that I'm done with it, there's only one thing left to do..." 

Wil left the room and started walking towards the Courtroom.

As he reached the entrance, the guards who were on standby stopped him at first but then apologized and gave the way as soon as Wil took out the medallion.

"Who could have guessed that there's such kind of monster in the abyss. Your majesty, if not for Lord Raziel, there would have been many casualties." 

Wil saw Gerrad was in the middle of recounting the events that occurred in the hidden realm to Mirella while everyone was listening to him very intently.

Curious as he is, Wil grabbed a chair and sat down in a corner in the residents' section as he didn't get to explore the Realm of Light.

All of a sudden, Mirella called out, "Time Traveler? What are you doing there? Come forward."

After getting spotted by the King, Wil stood up and walked towards Mirella while the entire audience turned their heads towards him.

Wil bowed and greeted Mirella, "Greetings your majesty."

After enquiring him, Wil took out his Gold nobility badge and said, "Previously, I forgot to report to your majesty about my promotion to Earl. I apologize for causing a disturbance."

Upon hearing him, none of the ministers took the matter seriously as it's mandatory for every Earl to report to the courtroom so that they can receive plots and a Mansion to live. Not to mention, this is the man who found the hidden realm.

Except for a few who have displeasure written on their faces, the remaining just maintained silence waiting for their King's response.

Mirella waved her hand with a smile, "it's fine. Since you have done a great service to the kingdom, I reward you with something good.

I, Mirella Llyne, 632nd King of Llyne Kingdom hereby appoint you as the Mayor of Deloris town."

"Eh? An NPC town? The f***"
