access.
X, who opened his eyes from Fate, muttered.
“Today is the day I will master it perfectly.”
The skills of Kurula warriors!
Last time I logged in, I was very motivated but didn’t have time.
Moreover, the ‘secret trick’ that helps achieve technology is not ready.
X recalled what Vjolaf had said.
‘I said I’d be ready if I got a good rest.’
X went straight to Vjolaf’s office.
Vjolaf was very happy to see X. Due to X’s unchanging attitude, the level of likability has ended and we have entered into a trusting relationship!
“Oooh who is this?”
“Like I said, I had a good rest.”
“haha. The facilities at Kurula Inn must have been poor, so I criticized them. “Seeing as you came here so early, that must be the reason, right?”
That is Kurula’s secret!
“That’s right!”
X nodded and Vjolaf gestured.
“good. “The preparations were completed last night, so let’s get started right away.”
X cried out in joy. In times like these, the warriors’ impatient nature seemed to help.
X followed Vjolaf to the mountain behind.
Elex and Gunsmer were already waiting on the mountain behind. When they saw X, they waved happily.
“Hahaha, are you ready for X?”
They were usually light-hearted, but they seemed even more excited today.
Soon, X’s eyes turned to the large bottle next to Elex.
‘What gourd?’
It was a gourd the size of a person. X’s curiosity about what was in it didn’t last long.
As soon as Bjolaf removes the cap, a terrible smell comes out!
Gunsmer, sniffing, stumbled.
“It’s been a long time since I last took charge of it, but it’s still awful.”
“...Is this really possible?”
Crack.
Vjolaf struck the gourd as if he was proud.
“That’s right. There’s nothing like a traditional Kurula drink to clear your head and get your heart pumping! “Of course, it doesn’t actually contain poison.”
Ilex added, holding his nose.
“It’s so strong that it would be better to drink real poison.”
Kurula warriors were basically drunkards. It is a drink that even such warriors are weak to. In short, it is a strong alcohol that turns people into dogs when they drink it!
X shook his head.
‘I think I know why you were so excited.’
Heavenly taste!
X, who even turned alcohol into stats, never got drunk. Thanks to this, I never lost to the spirited fighting spirit of the Kurula warriors.
“haha. “How can you drink this and still be calm?”
Ilex and Gunsmer did not hide their joy. Although Vjolaf didn’t show it, he seemed to be secretly anticipating X’s drunkenness.
Of course, there was no reason to remove X as well.
‘Well, I don’t know if it will work.’
In any case, since it is a liquor that can be called a secret weapon, it was worth expecting some effect.
As X excitedly picked up the gourd, Bjolaph asked.
“There is no need to drink too much. Just enough to get drunk.”
“To the point where I feel intoxicated... I understand.”
Jump, jump, jump.
Without wasting time, X drank the entire gourd.
It definitely felt like a strong drink. Because I felt my throat burning.
When I drank half of it, I felt my body getting hot.
Tiroling!
Along with the stat increase notification, another notification came to mind.
[The effect of Kurula’s traditional liquor is activated!]
[Reason becomes dull and the wild nature begins to squirm!]
[Hair turns white and the heart beats faster!]
‘Special effect!’
After all, it wasn’t just a strong drink. Only then did X realize what Vjolaf had said.
A state in which all distracting thoughts disappear and all you can feel is your own heartbeat and that of your enemy!
Bjolaf, who noticed the change in X, spoke.
“With the feeling of releasing the anger boiling inside out of the body. With the feeling of infusing the released anger into the weapon. “Can you do it?”
X handed Vjolaf a grilled skewer he had bought on the street.
“How about the capital of the continent?”
“It’s truly enormous. “It’s a shame that I was the only one who saw this spectacle.”
“It’s huge, but you don’t have to feel sorry.”
X added to Bjolaf, who was tilting his head.
“Let’s see, the restoration should have been roughly completed by now.”
Xernis, a great city beyond Arba! X’s confidence was not wrong.
Shoo shoo shoo! The light from the portal poured in again, and as the two walked through the hidden tunnel, the castle walls rising high into the sky came into view. Unlike before, the perfectly restored castle walls looked extremely sturdy.
Vjolaf stuttered.
“...X Didn’t you say that Arba is the capital of the continent? “The capital must refer to the most important city in the country, so what is this?!”
X answered as if it were obvious.
“Xernis. “This is my territory.”
*
Wa-da-da-da!
The short legs moved at the speed of light, welcoming X.
“Ex-chi! “How long has it been since this?”
“Those puffy cheeks are still the same.”
“Oh, that’s right, the atmosphere has changed. I feel like I’m a lot stronger than before! By the way, who is the guy next to you?”
The coward of the world!
Still, it was a huge improvement. Although I was slightly frightened by Vjolaf’s enormous size and scary face, I did not run away.
X introduced them to each other.
Vjolaf smiled greatly and held out his hand.
“I heard a lot about X. “He says he is Vjolaf from the Kurula region.”
“I am Malang from Degur Village!”
“Oh, I can feel the innate warrior temperament in your hands.”
Contrary to appearances, the Dongle tribe had excellent fighting skills. It is natural that Bjolaf is liked.
Malang also seemed to accept Bjolaf as a non-dangerous person.
X swallowed a sinister smile.
‘good. ‘There’s nothing more important than getting along well.’
A great place to live!
Basically, in order to collect a lot of taxes, the happiness of the residents had to be high. If taxes were raised when happiness was low, residents’ dissatisfaction would reach a peak, but if happiness was high, they would not pay much attention.
X checked the territory management menu for the first time in a while.
[Xernis]
Population: 293
Reputation: 0
Happiness: 96%
Features: Blessing of runestone / Gentleness / Natural fortress / Tunnel
A city with good living conditions, Xernis!
As word spread among the Dongle people, additional people who lived in the underground city moved in.
As the buildings and basic facilities restored to suit the Dongle people began to operate properly, happiness levels naturally increased.
Soon, X was walking down the street with Vjolaf.
“The infrastructure is good, but as you can see, there are still a lot of gaps. However, if the brave Kurula warriors protect Xernis, I don’t think I could be more reassuring than that.”
Vjolaf nodded and answered.
“Yes, I can’t stay like a frog in a well forever. Besides, if the land our frogs first set foot on is yours, then you have nothing to worry about anymore.”
chuck.
Vjolaf held out his hand to X.
“I will continue to treat you well, Lord of Xernis.”
Persuasion succeeded. X held Vjolaf’s hand.
“Would it be possible?”
Determination that matches his hot personality!
Vjolaf said he would immediately return to the Kurula region and recruit applicants for immigration.
But Bjolaf can’t even activate the spell book by himself!
“I will take you there right away.”
It took an order form, but it didn’t take any time. Moreover, you have to win points by being kind to new residents.
At that time, X was trying to see Vjolaf off.
Tiroling!
A whisper has arrived. The sender was Asus. X paused after hearing the whisper.
The message was that a larger number of immigrants would arrive sooner than expected.
New residents! X was anxiously waiting for them and preparing, but there was something that caught them off guard.
X muttered softly.
“...The residents of the nearby village evaporated in an instant?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
