‘The two of them have good chemistry . ’

Piaro was a person who liked to teach others . There was no one in the Tzedakah Guild who hadn’t been taught by Piaro . Royman also dreamed of reaching a higher ground, so if they stuck together, they could become a fantasy pair .

‘Please don’t lean towards becoming a farmer . ’

The unique rated Mass Production Grid set . It had a 160 level limit and had significant value . In particular, it was suitable for people who wanted to grow rapidly . It was an investment, so Grid wanted Royman to achieve a growth beyond his expectations .

“Duke, we’ll return to the north . ”

The road to the castle . Earl Steim’s knights came and spoke to him .

“My father-in-law?”

Grid was puzzled because he didn’t see Marquis Steim and Laden explained .

“The lord wants to stay near the young nobleman . We have to protect him, but the north is currently slightly unstable . It can’t be left empty, so we’ll return first . I ask you to please look after My Lord . ”

“I don’t care what you say, but isn’t the situation in the north unstable? Is it okay for Father-in-law to leave his position?”

“We will go first so that it will be okay, even if My Lord isn’t there . ”

‘Father-in-law has many good subordinates . ’

Grid nodded .

“Okay, I understand . I will look after Father-in-law, so please go . If you’re having a hard time in the north, go to Jude in Winston . He doesn’t have any thoughts, but he has great strength, unlike a braggart like you . ”

“…I will listen . I am grateful for your care . ”

Laden and the knights respectfully said goodbye and left Reidan . It was with 1,000 soldiers . 500 elites were left behind to protect Marquis Steim .

“Vacating his territory because of his grandchild . He had no dignity as a marquis . ”

Grid said so, but he fully understood Marquis Steim’s mind . Lord was cute, smart and pretty!

“Lord, wait! Father is coming!”

Grid hastened his pace . He wanted to see his son’s face as soon as possible . Lauel gazed at Grid as he entered in a hurry .

“Do you know that your work efficiency has been very poor since Lord was born?”

“Ugh . ”



Grid knew . Every day, he had played with Lord for at least two hours, so he had a tendency to neglect item making and hunting . Lauel grinned at Grid, who couldn’t speak .

“Well, your current look is very good . ”

“Eh?”

Grid was confused since he thought he would be scolded again . Lauel gazed at him carefully .

“It is right to get used to loving someone . You will learn to be generous through this . ”

Grid was fundamentally a simple and narrow-minded person . What was the reason? Lauel could roughly guess .

‘It is because he has been despised most of his life by others . ’

Grd had a low self-esteem and was narrow-minded compared to his ability . He wasn’t good at interacting with others . If Lauel listened to the Tzedakah Guild, Grid was much worse in the past . He only thought about himself and was always jealous of others .

But Grid started changing, and at the center of this change were Irene and Khan . Receiving love and giving love . Grid became more mature because he experienced one of the basic principles of human relations .

“You will eventually rule over millions of people and receive a lifetime of taxes from them . To become a good and wise king, you must learn compassion first . ”

“…”

If Grid was a normal user, he would’ve responded incredulously . Love? Charity? Good and wise king?

‘Are you shooting a movie alone? This is just a game,’ was what they would say .

However, Grid was different from a common user . Satisfy wasn’t a simple game for Grid . It was a world that was a precious as reality, where he got wealth, friends, a lover and a child .

“I understand what you’re trying to say . But isn’t it better to think of the people first instead of me? We can’t even raise the taxes, right?”

“It will be fine as long as I coordinate with you . As you know, I have the qualities of a tyrant like you . The two of us complement each other . ”

“Qualities of a tyrant… Two of us…”

Grid shivered . He struggled to shake off this feeling .



***

Reidan’s desert was full of heat .

There were powerful and wild monsters here, as Prince Ren was well aware . Nevertheless, the reason why he marched his army without any hesitation was because he had a countermeasure .



“That way . ”

“Beyond there as well!”

The Royal Knights Captain, Chucksley . The best archer in the palace, Ferrell .

The two people, known as the strongest men, were leading a handful of troops . Their mission was to eliminate the monsters on the way . It was possible because the royal monster scholars displayed the location of the desert monsters on the map .

“It’s easy . ”

The squads scattered in all directions around their base, defeating monsters . This allowed the base to safely advance . While this progressed smoothly, the smiling Ren gave orders to 20 assassins .

“Head to Reidan first . If the war begins and there’s a gap in Reidan’s defenses, grab the duchess and bring her to me . Alternatively, you can also kill her . ”

“Yes!”

The assassins moved quickly . Ren confirmed this and gained greater confidence, speeding up his march .

“Hurry! We have to arrive at Reidan tomorrow to match up with Hurent’s schedule!”

“Ohhhhhh!”

The soldiers’ morale increased . The heat of the desert? It wasn’t an obstacle for a person who would soon become king .



***

“What’s this?”

The northern knight leading 1,000 soldiers across the desert . He looked up at the high sand dune and stopped the march .

Tadat!

Laden climbed up the sand dune . The soldiers admired his slick movements . Then the sight of thousands of soldiers appeared before him .

“That flag is…!”

Laden’s expression stiffened . It was a silver dragon with wings . It represented the royal family of the Eternal Kingdom .

‘Why are royal troops here in the west?’

The royal army was advancing towards Reidan .

‘Is it to celebrate the young lord’s birth?’

However, the scale of the march was too big .

‘It can’t be!’

1st Prince Ren hated Duke Grid . No, strictly speaking, he was afraid of the duke . A rat cornered by a cat would act! Marquis Steim was concerned that Prince Ren would act against Grid after King Wiesbaden died . Therefore, he wanted to mediate between Prince Ren and Grid .

‘My Lord’s efforts have been ruined . ’

It was clear that King Wiesbaden was dying . It happened when Laden was thinking .

“Why are northern troops here in the west?”

He heard someone’s voice behind him . Laden turned and saw 300 people on horseback . They were one of the squads hunting monsters . The elite royal cavalry, the Iron Wind . The leader of the Iron Wind, Beida, was famous for being a master of two spears .

“I asked why northern troops are here in the west . ”

Beida approached and asked again . There weren’t any hostile intentions and they were from the same kingdom, so the northern soldiers didn’t bother him . But Laden was different .

“Get down!”

Laden shouted to the soldiers . The spear flew over the heads of the soldiers who had reflexively ducked . The spear was swung by Beida .

“H-Hik!”

The soldiers who survived peed themselves . The few people who were unable to escape had their heads separated from their bodies, causing the entire northern army to turn white . Beida’s gaze fell on Laden .

“You have very good eyes . What is your name?”

“You keep asking questions . You’re like a coquettish woman . ”

“…!”

Laden’s attitude that showed no fear stimulated Beida . He slowly revealed the wild nature that was hidden under his calm expression .

“You…! I will cut off your arms and legs first before asking again . Hiyah!”

Beida ran forward . It was a speed beyond common sense as he rushed through the desert hills . The northern troops were frightened, but Laden remained calm .

“The sin of killing Marquis Steim’s soldiers, I will pay it back with death . ”

“Bah!”

Laden placed a hand on the sheathe at his waist and watched Beida .

“You are still wet behind the eyes!”

Puok!

Beida’s spear stuck in the sand . It was the place where Laden had been standing just a moment ago . Laden avoided the spear and swung his sword at Beida’s thigh .

Chaaeng!

Beida defended with his spear and declared angrily .

“You are fast but not very strong… Kuk?”

Beida paled as he realized it . Blood was rising from the wrist that held the spear .

“You!”

Phoenix wasn’t the only strong one in the north? Laden knocked down the astonished Beida and commanded the northern troops .

“Kill all of them and return to Reidan . ”

Until yesterday, they were serving the same king . Laden believed that Marquis Steim would be on Duke Grid’s side, rather than Prince Ren, and quickly knew what to do .



***

‘It won’t be long now . ’

Hurent’s mood was heightened as he descended towards the foot of the mountain . His blood boiled as he thought of paying back the 5 second humiliation .

‘I will show you the true power of aura . ’

The biggest advantages of aura were the fixed damage and form changes . At the time of the National Competition, Hurent couldn’t properly make use of the form changes, but now it was different .

It was a power that made imagination become reality . With this fraudulent power, Hurent believed that he could defeat Grid . No, it wasn’t just Grid . It included Kraugel, the top rankers, Agnus and the hidden rankers .

Hurent had no doubt that he would overwhelm all of them .

“Who are you?”

It happened when Hurent and the 2,000 troops had just left Altes Mountains and were about to enter the desert . Two farmers blocked their path . Hurent was upset and fired aura at them . The farmers’ eyes widened as they saw the aura stretching like a whip .
