Chapter 360: Changes in Llyne kingdom

The next day morning, after informing Scarlet that he will stay in the city for two more days because of personal business while they can return to the Leafway city, he left for office.

After confirming the truth on the internet, Mia and Rey thought it is best if they leave as they don't want to burden Wil by staying here. On the other hand, Scarlet decided to stay until Wil return with them to the home.

However, what they didn't know is that upon reaching the office, Wil didn't go to the office but to the 89th floor where the capsule was kept in an empty training room. It was the same one he used two months ago to participate in the battle tournament finals.

Thinking that their young master might use it in the future, the management left it as it is. Now, Wil got the opportunity to use it again.

As for why decided to login into the game, it is because he thought it would be better to talk with Texel group's chairman after the latter digested the information of his engagement news. 

He wanted to give a strong message to Tang He that he can get the weaknesses of the Texel Group and its upper echelons at any time he wants to. Wil expects that a person who built such a huge business empire would be to understand the situation clearly.

*Welcome to War Online*

Wil found himself on a familiar island that was surrounded by a familiar vast ocean.

Looking at the temple at the top of the stairs, Wil opened the pictures that he took of the painting.

"Averil, Dragon Lord Egan, and a mysterious old man. There's a background story involving these three, after all. There's still time I need to find more clues about the whereabouts of those two to unveil the truth.

As for the entrance, the moment I find this Dragonlord, maybe, I would be able to get into the Dragon Island. Maybe, the quest from him will show the way to the entrance.

Damn… instead of citizenship, I should have asked Aria about the location, instead."

Wil thought for a long time about his next step.

After what seemed like an eternity, finally, he let out a sigh of helplessness, "It's better to return to Llyne city. Come to think of it, I didn't really ask Aster or anyone how the situation there is.

Well, I didn't receive any messages. So, I guess, everything is under control."

He opened the Character menu and then, went on the properties list to check the changes.

The data really surprised him.

"What the hell…" Wil was completely taken aback by the data that presented before him.

When the war is finished, he had roughly 20 thousand NPC soldiers in his army. Now, it increased to more than a hundred thousand.

Before, the Royal Knights are barely five hundred in number. Now, it was 6500.

The generals were, well, when he declared the kingship, he got like five notifications, each one indicating a general that is supporting his claim. Now, there are a whole 35 generals.

There is an emergence of a player city within these two peaceful weeks. Wil thought that it might be Star town that developed into Star city now. Along with that, there are emergences of a few more player towns.

And then, there was a decrease in the player count as well as the guild count. Wil expected it was the aftereffect of the mass expulsion. So, he didn't care about it. In fact, he was happier that the decrease is only by four hundred thousand.

The final thing that shocked him is the remaining funds. Two weeks ago, when he started his journey with Iphi, the combined treasuries of Llyne, Evelon, and Zuweth have nearly two million gold coins. Now, it was reduced to less than five hundred thousand. If he needs to buy that much amount, Wil needs to spend 37 million dollars.

Now, looking at the data, Wil realized that Gerrad might be using the funds to strengthen the army. Usually, it is a good thing as he planned to do the same after returning.

However, Wil wasn't satisfied with this outcome cuz he clearly mentioned that the defense budget will be discussed only after he returns. He felt disobedience from Gerrad.

"I need to return to the capital city, right away," Wil spoke to himself in a serious tone.

Summoning the gourd, he concentrated on the person inside it, "come out, Iphi." A sleeping dragon girl appeared on the ground.

He also decided to bring Iphi to the public to instill more fear onto his officials as well as the hidden enemies.

With two mythic grade beasts and the legendary+ grade dinosaur on his side, Wil thought everyone wouldn't dare to rebel against him even if they unite together. 

However, as soon as he looked at the cute teenage dragon girl, Wil thought of Evie (Snow Dew) for some reason. He shook his head with a smile.

As soon as the sunlight hit her, Iphi slowly opened her eyes and found Wil.

Rubbing her eyes, she looked at him once again. A glow appeared on her face in excitement. "You are back. I've been sleeping there for so long, you know."

After spending with him for days, her favorability slowly increased. So, despite feeling a little bit uncomfortable, she no longer hated Wil's Angel form as before.

Giving her a hand with a smile, Wil said, "Let's go back."

"Go back?" She was taken aback.

Wil nodded, "we'll not going to search for the Dragon Island anymore. There aren't enough clues. That stone slab said that the island is at the place where 

I need to search for the history records where it gives us a clue about the place where the demon emperor Shedim was beheaded by Archangel Gadriel. Hmm… wait a second…"

While he was explaining to Iphi about his reasoning to get back to the palace and read the history books from the library, suddenly, something clicked in his mind.

"I'm a Seer, ain't I? I just need to divine the person. As long I increase my mastery, surely, my range will improve further, right? Hmm, maybe I should just make a trip to Athledon and ask that NPC Owler's help? Wait a second... Athledon?"

*Slap*

The dragon girl was startled for a moment upon watching Wil slapped himself, all of a sudden. "What happened?"

"I'm a f*****g moron… What the hell am I wasting my time for the past two weeks? I should have teleported to Athledon and ask about the entrance in the first place." He criticized himself as realization dawned upon him. Wil felt like he was the most foolish person in the world.
