Episode 468 Owner of the Land (3)
The first thing the Count Alminus family did before filing a lawsuit was a public opinion battle.
If so, what is the reason?
Even if you file a lawsuit anyway, it is certain that you will be able to receive distribution through a judgment.
The answer I came up with was this.
‘Earl Alminus doesn’t want to go all the way to the court.’
If this speculation is correct, it is highly likely that this lawsuit is just a gesture.
No, should I say somewhere between intimidation and pressure?
Anyway, you and I are in different weight classes, so if you don’t want to lose more, I meant to talk about it and spit out what you need to spit out.
‘It’s probably not because a person like Count Alminus lacks money…’
It must be because of his face.
Although my career is short, the aristocratic society I saw was like that.
Here, only winners and losers are separated.
And letting go of this incident would be the clearest proof of defeat than anything else.
Therefore, I decided to reverse public opinion.
What is the part they are working on the most right now?
‘The original baron Yandel does not have the ability to defeat the hierarchical lord.’
‘If it wasn’t for the Geartooth Clan, their clan would never have been able to defeat the Hierarch.
Strictly speaking, everything is correct, but the count is imprinting this logic in the minds of the public.
It was a kind of groundwork.
At first, it starts with the presence or absence of ability, and more and more bad sounds start to come out.
‘Bjorn Yandel finally took the credit of the Sawtooth Clan, who was shedding blood and sweat to deal with the disaster.’
‘Is this what a hero would do?’
The count understood at a glance.
That the source of the power of Baron Yandel lies in this reputation.
“Hmm, so that’s why you submitted a subjugation application to us without saying a word?”
“……Yes!”
Afterwards, as soon as I returned home and revealed the raid plan, Amelia’s cold eyes turned to me.
Well, it didn’t last as long as usual.
“Haa……”
He sighed as if looking at the child who had an accident, and checked the solution first.
“Did you know? How many clans disappeared while trying to catch the hierarchical lord with five people.”
“I’ve heard that. It’s especially dangerous when dealing with five people. That’s why it’s usually 20 to 30 people…” For reference, that number is based on explorers
on the 6th to 7th floor. will be.
But…
“Don’t worry. We all have ideas.”
Originally, the rule of the Lord of Terror is to clear 5 people.
Only then will the rewards appear properly.
The reward was a little known, so there were quite a few clans periodically aiming for feats.
Not a lot, maybe two or three in a hundred years?
‘Actually, it’s much easier to clear with 5 players than with 30 players if you know the strategy.’
It was for this reason that the next exploration target was the Lord of Terror raid.
Because the people here find it more difficult to clear the 5-man Lord of Terror than Liakis. The moment I succeed, those who doubt my abilities will disappear.
“…….”
At that time, Auyen, who had been silently listening to the Yandel family’s meeting, caught his eye.
I suddenly thought why he was here, but he didn’t say anything.
Yes, because we suffered together this time.
“Rock-rok.”
“Yes, Baron. You are going to Xiamen.”
I told him what he was hoping for.
“Don’t worry, you can be absent this time.”
“Ah… is that so…”
The guy exhaled with an openly relieved expression.
“Then who will fill the remaining vacancy?”
Afterwards, after returning Auyen to the room, we talked about the overall strategy, starting with who the remaining members would be.
And when the talk is roughly over.
“Yandel.”
Amelia caught me as I went into my room to rest.
“Recently, it seems like you’re making enemies… aren’t you overdoing it?”
To put it simply, it means that you have installed too much.
“Just looking at the county’s work this time, it’s like that. In our situation, it might be a much better situation to pay the money obediently to become enemies with such a person.”
Amelia’s concerns were understandable.
They are among the old masters of this land.
Becoming a tribal chief as an aristocrat, as well as this incident. It would have been very uncomfortable to constantly have friction with them.
But…
“Amelia.”
I said without hesitation.
“If you don’t install the front yard multi because you are afraid of checks, you will eventually lose the game.”
It’s been my old belief.
“……?”
Amelia looked at him as if he was talking nonsense again.

The next day, I went out alone with Erwen for the first time in a long time.
The destination is Raven’s laboratory in the Magic Tower.
“Oh, are you here?”
“It’s been a while. Raven.”
“I heard that you won. Congratulations. I visited a few times, but it was always not there.”
“I’ve been too busy lately.”
The lab, which I hadn’t seen in a long time, was messy and dusty.
“…Isn’t the lab a bit messy? Recently, I’ve been living mostly in the troops in the ecliptic. It’s been a long time since I came to the lab.”
“Thank you. I didn’t expect you to take time off while on vacation.
“Ah, of course it should. It’s a chance to see the hierarchical essence, but if I just said it, the wizards would have lined up?”
Well, isn’t that wrong?
Still, there is no magician as trustworthy as him.
Versail Gowland also said that her specialty is magic tools, so she’s not confident about essence.
“After receiving the call, I studied a bit more about the essence of Liakis. It was a very unique essence.”
“It’s probably like that.”
“Let’s see then…?”
As Raven approached with a grin, Erwen, who had been quiet the whole time, took a step back.
and told me
“…Can’t it just be the two of us, mister? Just like before.”
Erwen didn’t seem to like being treated as a test subject, but he couldn’t help it.
“As I said, the help of a wizard is essential to properly grasp the power you have acquired.”
“…….”
“Can you do it?”
“Yes…”
Erwen nodded at my persuasion.
Seeing this, Raven burst into laughter.
“…Mr. Erwen is still the same.”
“It’s not something you care about.”
“It’s okay. Come over here.”
Oh, I’m going to choke to death.
In the past, I think we were kind of friendly, calling each other by name.
Just because I came back, there were too many relationships broken for everyone to go back to how they were before.
‘But, seeing as I thought I was using Erwen and tried to take it off, Raven seems to have some old feelings…’ Oh, I don’t know, they’ll do it on their own
.
They don’t mind, but it’s funny that I pay attention, so I just focused on the experiment process.
“Now put on this bracelet.”
It was the same bracelet that I had been constantly filling up when I was experimenting with the corpse golem essence in the past.
No, but can you call that a bracelet?
“…I’m sorry.”
As soon as Erwen sat down on the hideous chair, the bracelet(?) attached to the chair locked with a clicking sound. seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“Don’t worry too much. I’m just checking Erwen’s vital signs by inserting magic conductors into his veins in this state.”
“…….”
“Then let’s start the rest?”
Afterwards, Raven continued various preparations for the full-scale experiment, and after the preparations were over, he asked Erwen to use the skill.
“It might be difficult since it’s the first time I’m using it, but imagine it carefully. It’ll be easy if you think of the name of the ability given by the great sage—”
“I’ll take care of it, so please be quiet. Focus on me.”
“Okay. Well, Erwen-san is more expert in this than me, a wizard.”
Change came within seconds of Erwen closing his eyes.
Although there was no apparent change…
Beep beep beep beep beep—.
The bio-signal graph of the magic tool connected to Erwen began to fluctuate.
The Essence skill was properly activated…
「Erwen Fornaci di Tercia cast [Fusion].」
First of all, [Fusion] is a conversion-type superpower, and it is one of my skills [Transcendence] and were similar yet different.
If [Transcendence] affects other active skills—
“All passive skills are merged into one.”
[Fusion] only targets passives.
‘I wonder how it came out.’
I recalled each of Erwen’s current passive skills.
「Aura of chaos consumes [Attribute Enhancement]」
5th grade Evan’s Essence.
It raises all the four major attributes of dill, commonly referred to as water, fire, wind, and earth.
「Aura of chaos consumes [Absolute Concentration].」
Essence of the 4th grade Rit Cannon obtained as a reward from the royal family.
Casting skill damage is doubled.
「Aura of chaos consumes [Harmony].」
Essence of 5th grade ranger Ertes.
Soul power can be replaced with natural power.
「Aura of chaos consumes [half of blessings].」
Essence of the 5th grade wolf monster, Kalvan.
Doping-type buffs appear and disappear at regular intervals, and then repeat.
「Aura of chaos consumes the [Eye of the pursuer].」
Essence of 4th grade Mechrow.
All stats related to vision are increased by 3 times, and all ranged attack actions are corrected.
And finally.
「The energy of chaos consumes the [food chain].」
The Essence of the Celestial Judge, a level 3 monster obtained with the support of the fairies after the team was disbanded.
All damage dealt to monsters increases in proportion to the level.
It’s not as good as the active [Rupture] of that essence, but the passive is also very valuable.
‘The Hierarchy Lord Essence is not included in [Fusion], so this is all.’
By the way, I didn’t know what exactly would come out when these skills were combined.
How many integers are there in [Dungeon and Stone]?
It was physically impossible for me to experiment with such an astronomical number of combinations one by one.
Not that I did the cheat version.
‘…Well, I think I’ve done almost all of the top-level integer base combinations.’
There are quite a few honey combinations that I found like that.
However, it will be a long time from now to complete this recipe.
If so, what options do you have now?
「Erwen Fornaci di Tersia’s body is imbued with an aura of chaos.」
In order to accurately grasp this option, the wizard’s help was essential.
I can’t even see the system log.
“How is it? What do you feel has changed?”
“I don’t know.”
“is it so? Then, I’ll check the conditions one by one.”
Afterwards, Raven continued a similar type of experiment to what he had done to me before, and of course, this experiment couldn’t be finished in one day
. Come here.”
Erwen

schedule for this month has been set.
「
Inflicts additional chaos property damage when dealing property damage to monsters of 4th grade or lower.」 「
Absorbs all damage received while concentrating using soul power.」

Even after visiting the Mage Tower A busy time continued.
[There have been a lot of people saying strange things about the baron lately. Of course, I will help. Then those rumors will subside.] The
low-level explorers I met in this labyrinth confirmed that they would help if they needed to testify later. [It seems that there was a fierce battle at the top of the Dragon Mountains. One of the seven rivers was killed in that
battle. Oh, and one more thing you should know—.]
Versyl Gowland gave me information about the war in this episode and I checked the general news.
[Bjorn!! Let’s go to the Holy Land! I need you!]
In the middle, something happened within the tribe, so I visited the Holy Land.
[…It’s been less than a month! What do you know about the smithy? Do you know? Originally, in order to melt Mystium properly, you must first make equipment… Huh? I didn’t rush you? Don’t lie!] I also
stopped by the dwarf blacksmith’s to check the progress of disposing of loot and melting metal.
Originally an idle game Even in , these gauges need to be clicked frequently to complete them quickly
.
My body is getting more and more tired as each day goes by.
I came home late again today, and I laid down on the bed and closed my eyes.
It wasn’t to finish the day and rest.
Unfortunately, there’s one more homework I have to do to face tomorrow. “The character’s soul resonates and is drawn to a specific world.” …Let
‘s
go.
