The Returned Sword King Decided To Become a Tyrant - The Returned Sword King Decided To Become a Tyrant chapter 142

nightmare (4)

“The Geological Society?”

“… … Was there anything like that?”

The inside of Daejeon became cluttered in an instant.

Geology was very foreign to the nobility.

To be precise, it wasn’t just the nobility. For those who lead ordinary lives, the very name of geology was unfamiliar to them.

“quiet.”

I made the nobles shut up by waving my hands and looked at the person called the ‘staff’.

“so. What does the Geological Society do?”

“Although we focus on the development and analysis of agricultural land, we basically specialize in comparing and studying soil composition.”

“hmm… … !”

“Development and analysis of agricultural land… … .”

Some nobles frowned.

Conversely, Viscount Saturn smirked as if he had seized his chance.

“Your Highness, are you planning on farming on the land where the dwarves are located?”

development of agricultural land.

It was not different from the words that gave strength to the previous theory of futility.

It means that it is too worthless to be packaged as ‘useless’.

But at that moment

“I must have told you to shut up.”

“… … .”

As soon as my voice came out of my mouth, the temperature inside the Daejeon began to cool down.

Of course it wasn’t an illusion.

The nobles opened their eyes wide, doubting whether they had heard it wrong, and Viscount Saturn began to break out in a cold sweat as he felt an intangible energy pressing down on his body.

It was a condensed killing that could even force the actions of others… … .

gooh-

gulp.

The interior of Daejeon has become so quiet that you can even feel the sound of swallowing saliva.

Just a moment ago, it was completely crushed by the opponent who thought it was prey.

Having instilled a ‘warning’ in the aristocrats that they shouldn’t act foolishly, I looked at the staff of the association again, feeling satisfied with the silence.

The employee looked around the interior, which had suddenly become quiet, as if wondering, then hurriedly lowered his head.

“The important thing is not farmland. Didn’t I say that you compared and studied the composition of the soil?”

“Yes, yes.”

“That’s like saying that if you have a control group, you can uncover something inherent in the land. and… … I just remember that there was an item I requested there.”

Swoop-

My fingers flicked briefly.

“Show it for all the nobles to see.”

“Yes, I understand.”

char-

The association staff took out a ‘something’ from the bag and unfolded it.

It is, of course, an official document proving that the results of comparing the composition of the two soils are the same.

It was the same thing I showed my father a long time ago.

Naturally, the nobles watching from a distance had no way of knowing what it was.

however.

“Enlarge.”

“I will follow your orders.”

It was different if he had the power of a wizard.

woo woo woo-

Eventually, all eyes were focused on the thing that appeared in the air… …

It didn’t take long for the nobles to read the document.

“… … .”

Should I say I read it?

It would have been enough to understand just one sentence that immediately catches the eye.

From noble mtl dot com.

“… … Is there a presence in the land of the same mine as the control group?”

“You do not need to know in detail what this is. However, you just need to remember that this proves the usefulness of the Galderd Plain.”

okay.

The fact that some kind of development was taking place there, hidden under strict security.

At least, it would be enough to show the evidence here.

That moment.

The gate of Daejeon opened, and a cart loaded with something appeared.

“Oh no, those!”

A huge amount of turquoise ingots.

The figure reflecting the lighting light was brilliant as if it were playing on top of the heavens, and it was also brilliant.

So, ironically, the aristocrats took a long time to recognize the unique brilliance that could be seen at a glance.

It was probably the first time I’d seen so many of them at once, so it was only natural.

“… … Mithril?”

Even after washing his eyes and checking again, it was Mithril.

Dozens of them… … No, well over hundreds of refined ingots.

“… … oh my god.”

It was only then that the nobles were able to correct their distant spirits and realize the existence of the control group and the ‘mine’ that had been made public.

“there… … There was a mithril mine in the plains of Galderd… … .”

There is a saying that when people are too surprised, their bodies stiffen.

It was just such a situation right now.

Because no one looking at it could move their body in this situation.

And I began to open my mouth, gently touching the objects in the approaching cart.

“Anyway, it seems that the uselessness you talk about has lost its meaning.”

“… … .”

“Yes, there was a mithril mine that hadn’t been discovered yet in the plains of Galderd. And in the meantime, the royal family has been receiving refined mithril through the dwarves.”

“… … A mithril mine?”

“Such a thing… … Could it be… … .”

The nobles muttered blankly. In particular, the expressions of the nobles of the second prince faction were spectacle.

Eyes that don’t believe what they’re seeing.

It is because their actions of trying to attack while discussing the usefulness of the land have become useless.

No, it’s rather the reverse.

‘Well, in the first place, the very existence of the Mithril Mine must have been astonishing.’

It’s an attack and a nabal.

At least for now, you’ll be so surprised that you don’t even realize it.

At that time, one of the aristocrats of the 1st Prince faction, who barely came to his senses, opened his mouth.

“Did Your Highness know that the Mithril Mine was there from the beginning?”

“Unless you are a god, there is no way you would know that there is a mine in a foreign land that you have never even seen.”

“Then that is… … .”

“The dwarves discovered it.”

I shrugged.

It was a lie cleverly hidden in the truth. If I said I knew from the beginning, it would be like giving the Federation Empire a justification.

I have already spoken with the association’s staff.

“Well, then, isn’t it a consequential benefit!”

And Viscount Saturn’s outburst-like scream came out.

As my gaze turned there, he continued to speak fervently, waving his arms.

“If mithril mines had not been accidentally discovered there, the land would still have remained worthless!”

“So, the work in the Mithril Mine was purely luck?”

“That’s right! It means that the problem that Your Highness’ decisions were arbitrary doesn’t go away!”

“Right.”

The land that was thought to be useless was actually the land of gold coins.

Does that mean you’re going to catch the pods now?

Seeing that even in this situation where there is no place to retreat, you have found something to fight for… … Well, it seemed like his head was spinning.

but.

“So what do you mean?”

“… … .”

“My decision gave birth to the Mithril Mine, and I used the Dwarves’ technology to create perfect quality refined Mithril.”

“That, that… … .”

Words that look good, such as consequentialism, are just words made to be used by politicians.

Even if you cover it with filth, that great achievement does not disappear.

“And all of that is the product of my own hands.”

… … okay. that was the result.

Make Esteban’s future rich and strong.

Also, the results that will allow you to have ‘competitiveness’ that other countries do not have.

“At least the process won’t be important for that glory.”

Because a pathetic process would not justify and comfort the words of a loser.

Looking at Viscount Saturn, I left my last advice.

“It would be good to keep in mind. All glory is the fact that only the results prove and remain.”

“… … .”

“If there is nothing more to say, we move on to the next item.”

My eyes went cold as I looked at the pocket watch in my arms.

“Anyway, it looks like you guys prepared a lot.”

* * *

As much as the prepared attack of conversion made the glory of the first prince stand out.

Subsequent hearings went on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

Anyway, the rest was just an exaggeration that skillfully exaggerated the facts, so even the guys couldn’t put any more enthusiasm into the attack.

As a result, what remained was the self-destruction of the 2nd Prince faction.

thump thump-

“… … .”

I quietly escaped from the Great War while the nobles were distracted by disappointment and Mithril.

It was after silence and darkness settled outside the window.

However, I felt that someone was following me.

“Do you have anything to say, Duke William?”

“To recognize this old man without even looking back… … This is very surprising.”

I turned and looked at the man following me.

The uncle of the 2nd Prince and the center of the 2nd Prince faction.

And the seungnyang who dares aim for the throne behind Albedo.

… … Duke William’s figure was hidden in the moonlight through the window.

“Your Highness, do you remember? It’s been five years since the two of you had a conversation like this.”

“I didn’t know.”

“You have to. No one will ever remember what happened five years ago.”

… … Unless something pays attention to that movement.

The inside of that desire was revealed. He didn’t even think about hiding it.

However, I opened my mouth without expressing myself.

“The dragon is.”

“Heh heh, today I just visited Your Highness to see you face to face.”

“Right.”

In an instant, a small murderous intent wriggled and made the fingertips move. It was an inadvertent attempt to reach out.

Of course, that was for a while.

If he was killed here, it would cause a different level of repercussion than killing Asus or other nobles.

Besides, even deliberately inducing them to ‘move’ would be useless.

‘The justification must always be with me.’

… … So that.

Even if I cut down those who stand in my way, I will be able to rise to power without hesitation.

So killing him was the next thing.

I turned around and turned my back on him.

“If there’s no business, I’ll just go back.”

“Yes, I understand. I’m sorry for stopping your busy pace.”

Of course, no further discussion was necessary.

… …

thump thump-

By the time the first prince who left like that was no longer visible.

Duke William’s expression contorted like a demon.

“… … Yes, there must have been something hidden until the very end.”

Mithril Mine.

Perhaps, if the 2 Prince faction hadn’t moved, it might not have been revealed forever.

I guess it was certain considering the appearance of Prince 1 that Asus showed after his death.

Of course, there is a strong possibility that even the excuse that the dwarves found was false.

“All glory is only proven by results.”

That was a really good word.

It was a word that touched my heart and left a deep impression in my heart.

So much so that he really surprised himself.

“… … But there seems to be something wrong with you.”

The fact that the light of glory will eventually go out someday.

And the fact that countless glorious history will flow again after that.

hard-

A drop of blood began to drip from between the duke’s lips.

“It is only for a moment that the bright sun shines during the day.”

One day, along with the dark night, the nightmare called moonlight will find you.

Even Esteban.

… … And also in this royal castle.

Because he was the one who would soon bring justice to this land and bring new glory to Esteban.

“… … In the end, it forces us to resort to last resort.”

There was no turning back.

Before even this turbulent public sentiment turns its back on itself.
