Offer a Tribute and Become an Archmage - Chapter 134



Only Noblemtl

Offer a Tribute and Become the Grand Wizard Episode 134.

Path of Paedo [2]

“Of course home is the best.”

Ronobe, who returned to Sist, unpacked with Benny and went straight to Venom.

It was a national rule among national rules for a son who returned home to visit his father. However, it was a little different from his usual appearance.

“Ronobe! You’re back! My only son! Hero of the Kingdom! Haha!”

Ronobe spread out his palm and stopped Venom, who was about to run up to him and hug him.

“You’re a little uncomfortable.”

“What!”

It is a place where all the village people gather.

But you treat my father poorly! Venom’s face turned bright red. A blood clot appeared in his neck and his nostrils flared.

Just when Venom couldn’t hold back and was about to rage.

“this guy! “Do you know who this person is and how dare you speak carelessly!”

Liam stopped him.

Like a manager pushing a sasaeng fan, Venom was pushed back with stubborn force.

Liam, who was becoming Ronobe’s vassal, saw the light in him.

To begin with, Ronobe was a baron.

He is his person. He had to make the villagers realize the most important difference in status. And that was what Liam had to do, not Lonove, who was obviously his party.

Sreung! When he pulled out the iron sword, not only Venom but all the villagers were shocked.

“It looks expensive!”

“Li-Liam became a knight?!”

“How could the article…”

“Look at that sword. “It’s a crab made of iron!”

“It must be expensive…”

As expected, it is a response typical of a rural town.

Perhaps because it was a remote place untouched by the aftermath of war, the sight of a sword evoked a sense of materialistic desire rather than danger. For rural people who had not experienced the war, they could make a living by stealing just that sword and selling it. Of course, no one had the courage to commit such a theft. This is because the momentum that Liam gave off was amazing.

Those who experienced war and those who did not.

The difference was clear.

“Don’t talk nonsense! This person is Baron Lonove Hofer, who received the title of Baron from Lord Elysia Gradas! Everyone speak up!”

“Hopper?”

“How can someone’s name be Hopper!”

“It’s a castle, you idiot.”

“A person’s last name is Hopper!”

“You can’t be this cruel… The new lord must have punished you.”

“What are you bastard?!”

Ronobe, who had kept his mouth shut out of consideration for the dignity of a nobleman, could not stop himself.

“you! You come out! You are running away! The bastard who is now hiding on his knees! you! Come out! Where is this bastard going! I remembered your face! You bastard! “I’ll come visit you later!”

“Baron Jun, I’m sorry…”

“Hmm.”

Liam shouted again at the sound of whispering.

“You guys! Are you insulting the nobility? “I will cut off your head with my single sword!”

Only then did the whispering become quiet.

Only after the room quieted down did Ronobe look up at Venom.

It was because of the height difference.

“You don’t make eye contact. “How dare you look down on a nobleman?”

Soon Ronobe gave an order.

“Kneel, commoner.”

The residents of Cist fell to their knees.

The first to kneel was Jonah.

“Jonah!”

“sister!”

Pyobe, who ran up to Venom in a hurry, shouted.

“Hopper, meet Baron June.”

Jonah is the underdog in the sist.

She was a widow who lost her husband and a mother.

I had to learn to face reality and follow the direction of the situation faster than anyone else.

That’s how she survived.

“Jonah. You have a lot to say. “Please come to my room later.”

“omg! Brother Ronobe! Now you’re even looking over your sister?! It’s okay if you’re a noble!? “How can I kill my own sister…!”

“I heard all nobles are like that?”

“It’s like that for nobles… If you wear a skirt, children, grandmothers, and even your own mother become like that? “Nobility really…”

“You come out. Who are you.”

Ronobe couldn’t stand it again and tried to catch the guy who was making noise among the crowd. But he couldn’t catch it. As Ronobe became excited, the mumbling grew louder.

“Jonah is a talented person who will do my work for me. That’s not it! “I’m just Benny!”

I was already having a headache wondering why I had to explain this. But it’s only for a moment.

The main dish was still left.

“Those who do not kneel will be severely punished.”

Then and only then did the residents kneel.

A rural hunter became a nobleman.

It’s a bit odd, but the clothes he’s wearing and the carriage of a nobleman. And the Gradas emblem and brooch embroidered on the cloak were proof that he was a nobleman.

If I had to peel it, I had to peel it.

‘It’s important to control the momentum.’

From now on, Sist will become an important base for Ronobe. This is because they plan to develop this place into an agricultural village.

There will be a lot of giving instructions, so it was right to start now with a clear discipline in place. This is because Elysia also left Sist and Petri in Ronobe’s hands.

This is a necessary procedure for future work.

This is not to brag about Ronobe becoming a nobleman for no reason.

“Anyway, how could you do that to my family! brother! Have you already changed since you became a noble!?”

“Shut up! How dare a commoner talk to the great nobleman Lonobe Hopper! “Hasn’t Uribe by your side already knelt down?”

Pyobe, who had made a fortune in sugar beets, was becoming an increasingly important figure in the Sist, but he was nowhere near Lonobe.

A puppy for one day in front of a tiger.

That was just Pyobe.

And it’s the same for everyone else.

The crippled Uribe was already on his knees.

As expected, he is quick-witted.

And it was the same with Venom.

thud.

Venom got down on one knee.

“father!!”

Pyobe shed hot tears as she grabbed Venom’s forearm.

Kayobe had not gone on a commercial trip.

“Let go, you lowly bastard!”

However, Venom’s reaction was violent.

He slapped Pyobe, who tried to stop him, on the cheek, then knelt down.

“Why are you hitting me?”

“Hopper, what rudeness to Baron June! This person is a nobleman who will have territory and a castle in the future! “Are you going to force the affection of blood relatives on someone like that, you shameless bastard?!”

Venom trampled Pyobe as if to show off and then fell to his knees.

No, I even bowed my head.

“I meet Baron, a lowly farmer given to me by Venom. “Do whatever you ask me to do.”

Venom had many children.

And lived a long time.

Venom is the one that suddenly shows the wisdom of age.

Venom had his own way of dealing with things. That is why it can bend when it is bent, and be stiff when it is stiff.

I wondered what would happen if he rebelled under the pretext of being my child.

No, actually, I was hoping you would rebel.

But it wasn’t.

Even though Venom was his own child, he submitted to the absolute status created by society.

Maybe it’s compliance.

Because I lived so compliantly, I didn’t even know I was still alive.

At this point, the excitement is likely to cool down.

No matter how many mistakes there are in the past, a father is still a father.

A normal child wouldn’t feel comfortable with his father doing something like this.

But it wasn’t Ronobe.

“Get down, commoner.”

Then Venom fell flat on his face.

“Roll left, roll right. Yes, you guy! “Why can’t we do it quickly?”

“Ugh.”

Venom rolled left and then right.

Ronobe felt catharsis.

My body trembled at the taste of mulberry.

‘No nobles in this taste! ‘Kya!’

I was really tired of the taste of mulberry.

Don’t you do what your father says like a well -trained dog?

This is nobility! This was status! The time spent in the castle over the past few months wasn’t a waste at all.

Just for this.

Accepted the title of nobleman.

Just for this!

I have endured the sorrow so far. At the end of time of suffering, the fruit is sweet. It was so sweet that my whole body felt like it was going to convulse.

‘Fuck it’s so fucking sweet!’

Ronobe held his trembling forearm and raised his eyebrows.

Venom always looked down at himself.

This was true both physically and in terms of rank.

But not now.

Now, they are looked at below me physically, and also in terms of status.

Ronobe recalled an old incident. He still remembers it clearly when he closes his eyes.

bang-! Venom, who entered the house drunk and kicked down the door, beat his children.

There was no reason.

Because we all just lived like that.

At Venom’s violence, my mother and brothers cried and screamed to the north, south, east and west. He was the embodiment of violence to his children and was more than an irresistible god. Venom was the king of the family, a god, darkness, and evil.

But now the person I thought would hold power in this family forever is now.

I knelt in front of Ronobe.

He even bowed his head.

How on earth can I explain this feeling?

What words and words can explain it?

Ronobe did not dare to explain. He did not dare to express his feelings the way he wanted to be understood. All you can do is feel.

This tremble. Elevation and excitement. And I just felt a sense of supreme satisfaction.

sist.

‘This land under my feet.’

and.

‘Venom at my feet.’

It felt like I had learned how to ejaculate without getting an erection. A huge wave of joy rushed over me and engulfed my brain.

Ronobe tried to step on Venom’s head as he bowed his head, but he stepped on his finger.

Kuuk.

“Hey Venom. I am an honorary noble with the last name of Hopper. You could say the fundamentals are different from yours. But no matter how much that may be, doesn’t it seem like I forced you to bow your head like this? “There are many eyes watching…”

I told them to kneel, but I didn’t tell them to bow their heads. It was a very clever act to embarrass Venom.

“…”

“Venom. I love your vineyard. “I hope you continue to do so in the future.”

“This Venom. “I will produce grapes for Baron June!”

“Hmm, good. “Just do it like that.”

Ronobe put his mouth to Venom’s ear.

“Just like now, just wipe after me. Then, I will hand over the position of Chief of Cist to you.”

“!!”

Venom pursed his lips.

I could see his jaw muscles moving, and it looked like he was grinding his teeth. The corners of Ronobe’s mouth distorted strangely.

“Let’s stay at Venom’s house today.”

“I will help you.”

“hmm.”

Liam also seemed quite excited.

Returning to my hometown after a long time.

Liam, with Baron Ronobe on his back, was no different from the secret power of the Sist.

“Go away! “Baron June is coming!”

Liam, who was a Sist bully, seemed to be reminiscing about his past and scolded and threatened those around him.

Young people criticized Liam and Ronobe, but not old people.

We immediately gathered together and had a meeting.

“hmm? Are you going to have a village feast? “Why do you do such a thing?”

“Everyone, to welcome Baron June. Winter has passed, and spring has come to this land. How could we not welcome Baron June’s visit, which is like spring! haha!”

They were William, a large farmer of Cist, and Gorian, the village chief.

He was saddened by the death of his second son, Gorton, but quickly recovered when Liam appeared. At the sight of Liam acting like a vassal of the baron, he came to me rubbing his palms as if the illness he had been suffering from was completely cured.

‘As expected, old people are different.’

They are not people who have lived a long time for nothing.

Everyone has their own reasons for living a long life. No one lives long for nothing. Ronobe recalled this fact once again and drank the tea made by Venom.

“It’s not tasty. Let’s ride again.”

Crackling.

Pretending not to hear Venom chewing his teeth, Ronobe sat down in his house and happily pampered him.

“Feasts are good. A lot has happened so far, so let it be. “Do you slaughter pigs?”

“I’m planning to slaughter two pigs.”

Only two?

“Is this all there is to rural people? “What a disappointment.”

“Uh-huh! How dare you have two pigs for a banquet to welcome Baron June! Catch at least three!”

When Liam shouted, Gorian bowed his head but laughed, and William made an excuse while breaking into a cold sweat.

“I’ll catch three! And we even slaughter a goat!”

“I guess that’s not that bad. “Let’s throw a grand feast so that everyone in Sist can eat their fill.”

“yes!”

There is nothing more fun than a party held with someone else’s money.

‘They can provide the food, and I can pay for the favors!’

Free is good.

But it’s even better if you can give it away for free!

Ronobe’s mouth caught in his ear.

Now, no matter what I do, I just can’t help but laugh.

As the village chief and Daenong retreated, others knocked on the door.

“Okay, who else is it?”

“They are peasants.”

“Are your hands heavy?”

“No, my bare hands.”

In that case, you are not qualified to have an audience with Baron Hopper.

Ronobe, who had a smile on his face, crumpled.

“Tell them to get out of here! How dare you! “Keep your hands light when meeting nobles!”

“… All right.”

Liam witnessed the corruption. A scene where an innocent boy degenerates into an aristocrat. It was a precious sight that is not often seen. He thought about giving some advice, but stopped.

Liam, who had been in a year of laundry hell, tempered his advice. As Liam quickly went out to chase away the light-handed peasants, Ronobe sat down on the chair Venom had brought out, showing off as much as he could. Venom, who had pulled out the chair, lay flat on his back again.

It was a very clever attitude. I wanted to grab something, but Venom wouldn’t allow it. The behavior is very great.

‘Have you ever dealt with a nobleman?’

I thought I was living a normal life, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

“Baron June.”

Liam brought someone else with him.

He had light hands. She was about to say something, but Ronobe nodded when she realized that the person behind Liam was a delicate woman.

“Jonah.”

“Meeting Baron June.”

It was Jonah. Jonah, who was clumsily trying to imitate the etiquette of a nobleman, gently grabbed the hem of his skirt and lowered his head. Ronobe, who had been harassing Venom, turned serious.

“You have something to say…”

“okay.”

Ronobe’s eyes sank.

I had to tell the story of Bores.

She deserved to be heard.

“It’s about Bores.”

Jonah’s face twisted.

Ronobe spoke slowly.

I didn’t tell everything.

They only said that Bores died during the war.

There was no need to know all the facts.

She was the mother of a child, and that child was Lonobe’s niece, and the child had Bores as his father.

Even out of consideration for Jonah and the child, it would have been better to keep the truth hidden far away. The truth is sometimes so cruel that it breaks people’s hearts. Ronobe was one of those who knew that fact very well.

It was also a consideration in its own way.

After hearing the story, Jonah ended up shedding tears.

But in the end, he looked relieved.

“The last time I saw it briefly. I felt Bores had changed a little. “Maybe it turned into a war.”

“I guess so.”

“I’m his wife.”

It is said that it felt like seeing off a person going to die.

He eventually died, and although I was still sad, I had been away from him for quite some time.

It looks like he was mentally prepared.

‘Mother is strong.’

I couldn’t help but think that way.

“If you have any difficulties, tell me. sister.”

“… Thank you. “Baron June.”

Jonah went away.

When I met Jonah, my excitement waned.

Ronobe looked down at Venom.

“Please stop standing up. “How long are you going to lie down?”

“Are we finished playing nobles now?”

“yes.”

Venom got up casually and sat down. To be honest, he had become a nobleman, but he couldn’t treat Venom like a lowly person forever. The Venom of the past was a killer.

But that is not the case now.

Anyway, I have a lot of good memories.

They hunted wolves together and subdued bandits… They prospered through farming and strengthened their bond by touching a large amount of money.

The past is the past, and now is now.

Just because I became a noble didn’t mean I had to live with Venom.

“Aren’t you angry?”

“It is an identity and position that you have achieved for yourself.”

So there is nothing to be angry about.

That’s what it said.

“I know you hate me. “But you are still my son.”

“…”

For no reason, my heart felt itchy.

“okay. “What are you going to do now?”

“W-what?”

Ronobe drank the warm tea that Venom had given him.

It was tasteless.

My tea-making skills are poor.

No, no.

The tea at Sist was originally not tasty.

‘Did I become a noble in a moment…’

What a scary nobleman. It’s scary! The life of a nobleman!

Ronobe, who couldn’t help but think of the tea he had at the castle, was surprised at himself.

“Why are you a cist when you become a nobleman? different place. It would be nice to live a better life in a more prosperous place. Even if you live only in the castle, you will be comfortable as you will not have to worry about night beasts, robbers or bandits.”

But why did you come back to Sist?

That was it.

Ronobe answered indifferently.

“A son wants to live with his father. Do you need such a grand reason?”

“Ugly bastard!”

But Venom said no more.

Even though he knew it was a lie, he didn’t seem to feel too bad. It seemed as if all the humiliating events from earlier had been forgotten.

“Well, it’s just a joke, there’s no need to suffer from now on. “It’s a place you’re going to go anyway, so you have to get used to it slowly.”

“…”

I’ve been in the castle for almost two months and if there’s one thing I’ve felt, it’s that it’s annoying. Whatever you do, maintain the dignity of nobility. Think of the lord who bestowed you a title! Stop eating with your hands! It was annoying because there was someone nagging me.

“It must have been uncomfortable to have nobles gathered around the lord.”

“That’s right. “There are some nobles that the kingdom gave to Gradas to help them, but they treat people poorly.”

Gradas’ only blood relative is Elysia.

This is because Vlad killed all of his in-laws’ cousins.

No matter how noble she is.

You can’t run a territory alone.

So, with this in mind, the kingdom sent experts in that field. In Ronobe’s opinion, they were typical nobles with a sense of authority, but they also had the pride and determination of nobles. I knew I would see him often from now on, but I didn’t have the confidence to keep seeing him face to face from now on.

In a word, it was annoying.

“Is that why you abandoned your woman?”

“I can’t get married now anyway.”

Noble marriages are quite complicated.

“why.”

“Elysia is crazy right now, and most of all, Benny…”

No matter how deep his relationship with Elysia is, Ronobe’s first wife is Benny. If she gets married now, it’s inevitable that Benny will end up being pushed behind her. Even if Benny herself didn’t care much, she wasn’t Ronobe.

Of course there is a way.

‘My title just needs to be higher.’

Not a baronet, but an equal baronet.

No, becoming a count is a simple matter.

Of course, rising in rank was very difficult, but not impossible. Ronobe had great power, enough to crush the Wizard, and if he made a contribution on the battlefield through that power, he could have been given a higher title by the king than a baron.

‘It’s not impossible.’

It’s just difficult. However, has Ronobe’s life ever been easy?

Basically, life is difficult.

Life is about unraveling the tightly tangled threads step by step. In the past I would have just left him alone and lived his life, but not now. Ronobe continued to grow as a magician and as a human being. People are divided into those who have succeeded at least once and those who have not.

If you have tasted that sweetness even once, even if it is a bitter and astringent life, you will strive again with a sense of accomplishment from having tasted it sweetly.

‘Anna’s right.’

Although it was limited to magic, her teachings had value beyond magic.

And then there is the matter of Bores.

I learned a lot about life.

Ronobe was successful as a wizard.

Now it was my turn to succeed as a person.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“First, we need to expand the farm. “Our wine is very popular.”

Also, cloth woven with water-soaked threads is also popular. Vineyards and fine textiles. I plan to increase the scale of this to first accumulate more wealth.

‘No matter how much money you have, it’s never enough.’

Increasing your wealth is something you have to do yourself. Ronobe plans to significantly increase the size of its farms and textile mills and make a lot of money through Kayobe’s upper management.

‘Because Elysia also knows totems.’

Make a lot of totems and spread them throughout the territory. Of course it’s not free. As soon as its effectiveness is proven, Ronobe will receive absolute power and taxes over Sist and Petri.

I plan to develop Sist further, increase its size, and turn it into an agricultural village.

But Petri is different.

Petri smells like copper. On this continent where iron is rare, copper is also expensive due to its scarcity. Copper is money. Of course, since the copper mine collapsed, an astronomical amount of money is needed to restore it.

I gave it away because I knew that.

“First of all, Petri and two Cists. “Management supervision should be left to someone you can trust.”

The Sist is, of course, Venom.

Anyway, the village chief is doing his job today and tomorrow, so there is no one like Venom to be the next village chief.

Of course, there are people who say they are big farmers of the Sist, but that is none of my business.

Ronobe is now a nobleman.

Just take a picture and press it.

And Petri…

“Leave it to Uribe. You’ll do well. “Because he’s quick at calculating.”

“Uhm…”

Of course, there is no one better than Uribe.

His hobby is voyeurism, so he is quick with information and has a brilliant mind. He may be a bit on the odd side of talent, but he definitely gets things done.

There is no problem.

“It must be uncomfortable because of your legs.”

Wouldn’t it be a bit inconvenient to walk back and forth to the mine with a limp?

But Venom shook his head.

“That guy’s leg is healed.”

“yes? “A leg?”

“Not everything is better. “They said I can run moderately now.”

“You were limping earlier?”

I met him before I came and saw him.

At that time, I had a limp.

“I told you to hide it.”

“ah…”

Do it. If a guy with a limp suddenly got better, he would naturally be suspicious. Although they may not have known it before, now no one knows that Ronobe is a wizard. In the countryside, rumors spread quickly… everyone will know that it was Ronobe’s doing.

“Good job.”

If there was something good enough to heal a crippled leg, there would be many people who would come from all over and bother to ask for it to be cured just once. Of course, since Ronobe is a nobleman now, there will be no misbehaving people, but you never know. Because in this world there are a lot of people who are rude and rude.

“I heard the mine collapsed heavily. Are you going to clean it up?”

“That’s right.”

It would be difficult to restore the mine with ordinary workers. It was clear that if it was just restored by people, it would take several years. It was such a strong explosion. So, of course, magic is needed to restore it.

“I am there, and there is also a suitable guy.”

There is no one as qualified as him.

‘Lirun.’

The village chief’s granddaughter and Gorton’s daughter.

It was Li Lun.

and.

‘Peter.’

Mine recovery if these two exist?

It was like eating rice cake while lying down.
