The Wise Lord - The Wise Lord chapter 115

Episode 115 – Reinforcement? Hyeonjil?(2)

Pampara night!

《Enhancement Success!》

A plain fanfare sound and a plain notification window came to mind.

Along with that, a sword appeared in front of Xian’s eyes.

It was none other than an SSS grade sword.

I wanted to get it that way.

Again, it was an SSS-grade sword that I hadn’t hoped for.

“ha···.”

Sian let out a sigh without even realizing it.

“How much did you spend…”

Xian pounded the calculator in his head.

Morcru’s energy, which was initially 15%, became 100%.

It was a total of 17 attempts, and each attempt was 150,000 gold, so 2.55 million gold.

In addition, I just strengthened it once more, so an additional 150,000 gold.

2.7 million gold was spent only for pure enhancement costs.

because

[Current Gold – 2,100,000 G]

“Haaa…”

Xian let out a really deep sigh.

I got a little over 2 million gold from Muriel’s ruins.

He received an enormous sum of money of 13.1 million gold from Arya.

Amelia has made a lot of money, a little over 6 million gold.

That’s how approximately 21.1 million gold was in Xian’s hands…

21.1 million gold… ‘existed’.

It’s so colossal that it’s astronomical.

Indeed, an amount that even words cannot leak out.

[Current Gold – 2,100,000 G]

disappeared in an instant.

It could not disappear and evaporated.

2.1 million gold was cut into 1/10 and flew away.

Is this… is this correct?

really this is right?

No, is this really real?

Xian thought it would never happen.

even.

Tring!

《When you get stuck while proceeding, try the hyeonjil!!》

.

.

The mobile lord was still giggling.

Somehow, it seemed that gold consumption due to failed enhancement did not go into cause and effect.

To be precise, it seemed that it was not the cause and effect that the mobile lord could handle.

So Xian

I lost everything.

“Haaa…”

The sigh didn’t stop.

Xian’s gaze slowly turned to the SSS grade sword.

The sword body was filled with a thick, dark pitch-black darkness.

It would be like that if it were forged into darkness.

I didn’t feel any magic power.

Inside the sword, it seemed as if an evil power was seething.

Indeed, even calling it a demonic sword was not enough.

“This, this, this…!”

Semir’s eyes widened and opened.

astonishment and surprise.

Emotions that surpassed that were embedded in Semir’s expression.

“Uh, how can such weapons…!”

Semir examined the SSS grade sword with trembling hands.

I felt the shock of not being able to believe it even though I was seeing and touching it right in front of my eyes.

That would be an excellent sword.

“I, at my level, I can’t believe this was made by my ancestors…!”

Semir, a descendant of the Goddess Morkru.

Seeing that Semir even mentioned Morkru’s name, it was clear what an SSS grade sword was like.

Well, even to Xian, it looked unusual.

It wasn’t just unusual, it was huge.

However, Xian did not feel any different inspiration.

I couldn’t feel it.

“Haaa…”

Only a deep sigh escapes.

Right then.

Tring!

《Achievement: One Attempt! Just one success! (Attainment!)”

[Requirement to achieve: Succeed in strengthening with Morkru’s energy filled to 100%.]

.

.

Whoops!

Xian clenched his fists tightly.

what? One try?

A single success?

“I really want to throw it away.”

Xian seriously thought about whether to really throw it away.

maybe.

Tring!

《Achievement: ‘For the best weapon!’ (Attainment!)”

[Requirements to achieve: Possess 1 SSS-grade equipment or fail to enhance 20 times.]

If there were no additional achievement achievements that came to mind.

《You can now research [Morcru’s Metallurgy] at ‘Elodie’s Laboratory Lv.1’!》

If it had not been possible to mass-produce S-class equipment.

Even if it’s not like throwing it away.

At least it seemed like I would have put my smartphone in the poop.

“ha···.”

Xian let out a deep sigh.

Now that I have lost the courage to live my life.

“Does Kendrick want to stay with the soldiers…”

It was just a wish that an SSS grade sword would be worth it.

#

aaa!

Darkness hits you in the face. Xian grabbed the sword with both hands and raised the demonic spirit.

The jet-black demonic spirit whirled over the sword body that was grasping.

Xian’s sword, as if forged in darkness.

Darkness and darkness merged, and pitch-black like an abyss poured out.

Xian swallowed his breath and swung his sword wide.

aaa-!

The oncoming darkness is torn apart and the road opens.

At the end of the road, Kendrick’s dark blue eyes shimmered.

-Uh, how could this be…!

The surprise and surprise felt in between.

Sian jumped, kicking the ground.

Spreading the spiritless spirit, the body instantly dispersed into darkness.

Kendrick moves. Wields a sword made of darkness.

Caan-!

The sound of a collision came from the tip of the swinging sword.

Xian’s sword was visible in the place where the collision had erupted.

The movement of the spiritless soul has yet to dazzle Kendrick’s eyes.

Darkness swept through Kendrick’s body.

The evil demonic spirit boiled over and crushed Xian’s sword.

The force of the blow oppresses the body. but bearable

The strengthened power of the sword and the amplified magic made it possible.

Kendrick’s eyes widened once more.

Before long, the more terrible magic explodes. Darkness breaks out.

Killing spirits pouring in from all directions aim at Xian.

Xian’s body once again scattered into darkness and soaked into the ground.

Kendrick’s sword pursues Xian’s darkness.

can not avoid.

Xian twisted his body and swung the sword in every direction he could.

Kang! Cacan-!

Damn-!

An impact sound was heard, and darkness scattered in all directions.

In the bursting darkness, Xian continued to swing his sword.

“Now… what’s going on now…?”

“You can fight that far with Captain Kendrick…?”

“Your lord is really amazing…”

The admiring voices of the soldiers could be heard all around.

Puff-!

A soft sound came. Kendrick’s sword, the darkness breaks.

Hesitating, Kendrick’s steps take a step back.

‘now!’

Xian did not miss that opportunity.

aaagh

The whole body’s demonic energy boils. The power of the source fluctuates and forces obedience.

Vicious power permeates the sword body.

The thick and deep darkness has a distinct shape.

From the tip of Xian’s sword, an ominous black light burst out nonstop.

The sword trembles as it swallows the permeating demonic energy.

The entire space is dyed black.

The bursting black light made the night itself.

I hear the roar of a wild beast roaring ferociously.

Right then.

I felt a terrifying life behind Xian.

And Chuck, without Cyan having time to respond.

An eerie anticipation was felt on the nape of Xian’s neck.

A pitch-black sword protrudes out of sight.

“······ Sheesh.”

I scattered the demonic energy that Xian had drawn.

The enveloping darkness disappeared in an instant.

“and···.”

“and···.”

At the same time, soldiers everywhere burst into exclamation.

Everyone was looking at Xian with surprised expressions.

-My lord…! How can you do it all at once…?

Kendrick was no different from them.

There was not much difference between last time and Xian.

But now, Sian was tearing apart Kendrick’s darkness.

Of course, it was still far from Kendrick’s level.

Still, great progress has been made in that short amount of time.

-How can this…

Kendrick’s dark blue eyes flickered around.

Xian stared at the SSS grade sword in silence.

A sword that seems to have been forged in darkness.

It was only one level stronger than the SS grade.

However, its performance was raised by several steps.

‘Are you crazy?’

It wasn’t worth the money, it was insane.

yes, this is it

That’s it.

After all, isn’t it wise to be smart with this taste!

Xian felt like he had the courage to live his life again.

“Good good.”

Xian nodded his head in satisfaction.

Then, he immediately took out his smartphone.

Now that we have seen the effect of strengthening the weapon.

To be precise, right now I thought it was tempo.

It was to equip Ruben’s soldiers accordingly.

None other than an S-class sword and armor.

Xi’an went directly to 【Research List】.

Then he found [Morcrew’s Metallurgy].

[Morcrew’s Metallurgy] – 500,000 G.

It was a staggering price of 500,000 gold.

However, it was possible to mass-produce S-class equipment, so it was never seen as expensive.

Soldiers and knights armed with S rank.

In addition to S-class martial arts and Kendrick’s teachings.

Ruben’s power was to be strengthened in an instant.

Xian pressed metallurgy research without hesitation.

Hold on.

《Start research!》

Research started with a light touch.

Sian nodded his head in satisfaction.

Right then.

Tring!

《I am researching [Morcru’s Metallurgy].》

《D-150 until research completion》

“······ what?”

Xian paused for an instant.

“Oh right.”

Come to think of it, the research did not happen all at once.

It took time just like building various buildings.

And the time it took to complete the study was a whopping 150 days.

A period of up to 5 months.

“Wait, if this is…”

The problem was that Xian didn’t have much time left.

To be precise, the time he earned from Durak wasn’t that much.

Less than 4 months left now.

However, the study completion period was 150 days, 5 months.

and emerging.

Another notification window.

[Instant Completion Ticket] – 1,500,000 G

Tring!

《If you are frustrated with the speed of your research, try a hyeonjil!》

.

.

“Dog—.”

Xian managed to suppress the curse words that escaped from his throat.

You have to be patient.

The soldiers admiring the surroundings now.

The soldiers are watching, but he can’t show such ugliness!

“Yai-!”

Xian let out all the anger he could.

He spat it out on the screen of his smartphone, creating not only swear words but also swear words without them.

How long did you vomit like that?

“······ sh*t.”

Xian gritted his teeth.

Research time of 5 months.

Even after receiving the Elodie’s Lab Lv.1 buff, it was that much.

Even with borrowing Jerry’s amazing talent, it was that much.

Originally, this would mean a study that would take several decades.

Hagisa, Arnite Morkru’s metallurgy, so what?

‘I wish there were more researchers other than Jerry…’

So, not 5 months, but 1 month.

Maybe it would have been a week.

However, none of the researchers could do it.

sorcerers or sorcerers.

But they are very valuable.

Didn’t you go through a lot when you saved Jerry?

It wasn’t something I could do right now.

So, this was no other option.

It was something I had to do no matter how expensive it was.

Sian raised his trembling hand.

And after a lot of thought, I immediately purchased the right to complete.

Kwu… saved the country.

Because my hands were shaking, the touches were spread several times.

《[Morcru’s research] has been completed immediately!》

With such a rising notification window.

[Current Gold] – 100,000 G

Xian again.

I lost the courage to go through life.

Xian slowly looked around.

The soldiers secretly looked at Xian and were at a loss for what to do.

Xian sighed once again.

And then trudged.

“……anyone can go. Ask Amelia to come over to my office.”

Xian walked to the Lord Castle Lv.2.

#

Xi’an’s office located in Lord’s Castle Lv.2.

“You want to go up again?”

Amelia screamed in fright.

There were thick dark circles around Amelia’s eyes.

Xian quietly averted his eyes and said.

“Because I’m a little… short of gold.”

“Go, not enough gold? what is that…?”

Amelia asked what nonsense you were talking about.

But Sian didn’t say anything.

“Could it be that all of that money…?!”

Amelia’s mind went giddy again.

Severe dizziness set in, and Amelia’s body limp.

Suddenly, Amelia slumped down on her chair.

Amelia’s pale, trembling eyes turned to Xian.

Xian couldn’t say anything.

Even with a thousand mouths, there was really nothing to say.

“How much… do you have left?”

“········· 100,000 gold.”

“oh my god.”

Amelia covered her mouth with both hands.

My pupils shook as if there was an earthquake at the completely unbelievable reality.

There’s a degree to missing the bottom.

No, the bottom is smashed to some degree.

Isn’t this a bottomless level!

Amelia stared blankly at Xian.

Xian really, really had nothing to say.

How much time had passed like that?

“I… I haven’t been back in a while…?”

Amelia opened her mouth slowly.

Amelia, who has completed her ascension for over a month.

He earned 6 million gold by selling goods to the western part of the empire.

But the horse was 6 million gold.

I couldn’t even imagine how far I would have to run to earn that money.

Even Amelia, as soon as she returned from her trip, went to Lucia to get materials at Xian’s request.

And it hadn’t been long since he returned from Lucia.

It wasn’t that long, but less than a day had passed.

As soon as the material was supplied, he tried to strengthen it.

That’s why it was quite unreasonable for Xian to think about leaving immediately.

furthermore.

“There is also a problem going up.”

Amelia spoke slowly.

“It’s difficult to recruit the upper escort troops.”

Ruben’s troops to escort the upper ranks.

It was a situation where Kendrick had recruited the talents who would become the Knights of Ruben.

As a result, the number of soldiers decreased dramatically.

Ruben is attacked by demonic beasts at all times of the day.

There had to be a minimum number of troops responsible for the security of Ruben at all times.

Because of that, it was difficult to recruit the top escort troops.

even.

“The workload cannot keep up with the output.”

Various items produced in Leuven.

The amount of work was not able to keep up with its enormous output.

Agriculture, cattle breeding, brewing, etc.

Due to Xian’s upgrade, he was spewing out an enormous amount of production.

However, the amount of work to create that production was sorely lacking.

Even now, the locals are working day and night.

Even if it follows the production.

The point was that Amelia had to overdo it to deal with them all.

I was able to pick up a member of the upper ranks, but I still lacked a lot.

For now, he was limited to helping Amelia by the hand.

It wasn’t at the level of going out directly to the top.

Even though it sounds easy in words, it was not something that could be done with ordinary experience and knowledge to pack up a troupe and go uphill.

In order to raise a single merchant, he had to take a gunner with him every time he went up and teach him for several months.

The system is equipped, but the contents inside it are empty.

in short.

“Right now, we are very short on manpower.”

Even if there was a shortage of manpower in Leuven, it was too short.

“hmm···.”

At Amelia’s words, Xian thought for a moment.

There was nothing wrong with what Amelia said.

It was a fact that Xian was aware of from the beginning.

Above all, just before.

Didn’t he use the right to immediately complete the 1.5 million gold due to lack of researchers?

That’s why Xian was also in mind.

Still, the reason things got to this point was simple.

‘Where did you get Yeong Ji-min from?’

It was not an easy problem to deal with.

Young Ji-min couldn’t do anything about the mobile lord.

No matter how much gold you have.

There was nothing I could do.

Of course, saving Young Ji-min itself was not difficult.

It’s because you can use it with the slash-and-burn farmers who are still wandering.

However, it was not possible to receive territories at random in that way.

Doing so will eventually cause problems.

And who knows that some of them might have a bad heart.

The enemy within is more fearsome than the enemy without.

‘Still, I have to accept more people…’

Xian’s thoughts deepened.

Right then.

smart.

-young master. This is Hans.

Hans’ voice came knocking on the office door.

“come in.”

Click.

With Xian’s permission, Hans opened the door and entered.

And Hans’ expression, which is somewhat ambiguous.

“What’s going on?”

“That is···.”

Hans said as he pulled out a letter from his chest.

“A letter has arrived from Ellandur.”

“At Elandur?”

Xian tilted his head.

And I accepted the letter from Hans.

A letter with the seal of the White Wolf.

Xian confirmed the contents of the letter.

Stuff that goes on and on.

Xian sighed and checked the contents of the letter.

What it meant was this.

“I have something to tell you, so come back to the family for a while?”

Xian frowned and frowned.

Apparently… it didn’t seem like he meant to completely return to the family.

I was told to give it 6 months.

Hopefully I won’t change that.

It literally seemed like there was something to be said.

But if you have something to say, wouldn’t it be better to write it down in a letter?

Why do you bother to come and go?

I’m already having trouble with Young Ji-min’s problem.

There was no time to go back and forth to Ellandur.

‘Shouldn’t I just go?’

It was the idea that made me think of this for a moment.

It’s like disobeying the family’s order, but what can I do?

After all, in four months, we will have to go to war.

maybe maybe

Tring!

To be precise, if it wasn’t for a single notification window that floated on top of the smartphone screen.

Xian must have really thought about it seriously.

screen viewed.

『[Land Quest] – ‘The Dark Elves are calling. We are not demons!’』

“…?”

Xian’s expression went blank for an instant.

mind wandering.

“······ What?”

Xian really wanted something.
