Episode 117
‘This is selling so well that it makes my stomach hurt.’
The player has been appointed as the general of the kingdom! And that too, as the general of the great kingdom of Arba, not just a small country. Even though it was ugly, Kaimus’ ability was always amazing.
X looked at Kaimus with an even more disapproving expression.
Plate armor coated in pure white. Even at first glance, the form seemed to be at least a unique grade item.
There were numerous NPCs and War Machine guild members standing around Kaimus. X said that if he was tired, he would win every battle, so he made his way through the crowd to get a glimpse of their faces.
“Hey, look at the scale. “You should record it and keep it.”
“Let’s begin in earnest!”
“I’m so jealous. “I can’t even imagine what it feels like!”
The voices of excited users could be heard from all directions. At first, I was quite uncomfortable with it, but I felt like I had to admit it.
This kind of spectacle is not easy to see!
A magnificent flute sounded and a drum announced the start of the installation ceremony.
chuck! The knights of the Kingdom of Arba and the guild members of War Machine paid homage to only one person, Kaimus.
“Wow Kaimus!!”
“stylish! i envy you!”
“Great General Kaimus!!”
NPC users alike gave enthusiastic cheers to Kaimus.
Yes, it is the general’s appointment ceremony. It is natural for the entire nation to be excited and excited. Of course, X never opened his mouth!
‘Is this power? No, I can’t see Dazel.’
X glanced at War Machine with calm eyes. Their professional equipment and even which hand they use their weapon with. I had no intention of turning a blind eye to the enemy that must be defeated, War Machine.
Then X let out a small sigh.
“…It’s a monster, just like I heard.”
Generals of the Kingdom of Arba!
Except for Kaimus, the two generals were NPCs. There’s even a wriggling dragon pattern engraved on the gorgeous armor! Their level could not be easily guessed even by X.
‘Because the knight commander level revealed in the early days of Fate was 700. ‘I’m sure you’ll be over level 800 by now, right?’
Incredibly strong people!
When I looked at them, my heart pounded. In order to reveal the truth about the Gourmet King, you must attack the Kingdom of Arba and fight against them.
If the other generals were tigers, Kaimus looked like a one-day puppy. This is only natural since the level difference is huge.
Still, Kaimus seemed to have been recognized as a general due to his dedication to the Kingdom of Arba.
‘Well, is it a good thing that Kaimus became a general?’
If you defeat Arba Kingdom, you will receive War Machine as a bonus. When I thought about it, there was nothing like killing two birds with one stone.
As X was thinking the most profane thoughts on the nation’s auspicious day, a rumbling sound reached his ears.
“It’s finally coming out!!”
“Is that the king of Arba?”
“Now, everyone, you’d better bow your heads.”
Las Loren IV, King of Arba!
He had appeared to appoint Caimus as general.
Many people gathered at the meeting bowed their heads in unison to show respect to the king. X also noticed and lowered his head.
‘Another final boss has appeared.’
The Las Loren family, who denied the existence of the true emperor, the Gourmet King, and made him disappear from history! X couldn’t help but check the handsome dragon’s eyes, so he slowly raised his head.
‘…It doesn’t seem like anything special, does it?’
However, it seemed like he lacked some weight to be called a king. From his white face as if he were sick to his unfocused eyes. His health didn’t seem to be very good either.
‘It looks like he’s suffering from a chronic disease.’
X looked away because whether it hurt or not was none of his business.
Soon Caimus made his way towards the king. I knelt politely in front of Las Loren. X, who was watching, raised the corners of his mouth.
‘The higher you fly, the more painful it is when you fall.’
X felt happier as the enemy became stronger and more difficult. Thanks to this, I couldn’t help but laugh as I watched Kaimus doing well.
But things always happen in unexpected situations.
“…?!”
X’s face, which was full of laughter, froze for an instant.
At this moment, when Kaimus was appointed as the general of Arva, for some reason, I clearly saw a person who should not be seen before my eyes.
Excited, X muttered without realizing it.
“…Why are you there?”
Las Loren, the weak king of Arba. Next to him sitting on the throne, I saw a familiar yet unforgettable outfit.
Gorgeous silk clothes and a white mask with no patterns on it!
In the past, not only had he summoned another being through large-scale human sacrifice, but he was also a worshiper of another being who was preparing for another destruction.
That guy was naturally whispering to Las Loren.
If you think about it calmly, it was a strange thing.
The Desert of Oblivion, the home of other beings, and Arba are quite close. Considering the power of the contaminated runestone, it was quite doubtful that Arva was intact.
‘…I missed the spot under the lamp.’
But because it is Arba, the capital of Arba Kingdom. Also, I didn’t notice it because it was the city where the most users came and went. It was entirely his own carelessness.
X stared at the worshiper with fierce eyes.
Is the business over?
As the worshiper raised his head, Laslorraine began to move. He raised Kaimus up holding the treasured sword given to the general.
Suddenly, I heard a conversation next to me.
“But who is that white mask? “Are you a eunuch?”
“Idiot, where is the eunuch in Fate? Judging from his location and appearance, he must be a royal shaman who is highly trusted.”
“Ah, that palace shaman!”
Royal palace shaman.
Yes, even in the fallen ancient kingdom, he disguised his identity as a sorcerer. So they were able to contaminate the runestone without raising suspicion, and this time they dug into the Kingdom of Arba using the same method.
X, who was shaking his head, clenched his fists.
‘You said it clearly back then, right? ‘I understand, so I won’t suffer anymore.’
The truth about the King of Gourmet War Machine and even other beings!
In this case, all the enemies that must be defeated at some point have gathered in the Kingdom of Arba.
Nothing has been better than this. Because it saves you the trouble of hunting down enemies one by one!
Kaimus Laslorraine and the Worshiper of the White Mask.
X quietly declared to the three who were in the middle of the appointment ceremony.
“Please wait patiently. “I’m so greedy that I don’t want to miss out on anyone.”
*
As soon as Kaimus’ appointment ceremony was over, X ran to the general store.
Although I got valuable information, I had to get busy because I wasted quite a bit of time.
“Here, please give me 30 return order forms.”
I spent about 100 gold for the return spell and also purchased a spell that could expand my inventory to the maximum.
Most users use the auction house, but because of X’s high reputation, he benefited from trading with NPCs.
“Please visit our general store again next time.”
Leaving behind the owner who greeted him politely, X headed straight to the square.
Hustle and bustle. In the square, numerous users were busy preparing for adventure.
‘The first stop is Patran Forest.’
Patran Forest!
It was a huge forest located on the eastern side of the continent. There were more than 10 large and small cities formed surrounding the forest, so it was easy to understand their size without further explanation.
The reason why X chose Patran Forest as his first hunting ground was simple.
Not only did a variety of high-level monsters appear in an endless field, but there were also plenty of villages nearby for maintenance, so it was natural that it was popular among users.
“Does anyone want to go to Lanpul? “I’ll only take three more!”
Ranpul is one of the villages formed in the Patran Forest.
X ran away with incredible reflex speed.
“Me! thank you!”
“It was nothing. “I’ll just wait 5 more minutes and then we’ll leave.”
“Yes, do whatever is convenient for you.”
If they give you a free teleport ride, why can’t you wait another 5 minutes?
Mumbling. X thought as he ate the last street food fries he bought on the magic circle.
‘Since when has the worshiper been in Arba Kingdom?’
The worst-case scenario is that this guy has been in control of Arba since the Gourmet King disappeared hundreds of years ago.
In that case, there was a possibility that he had persuaded King Ras Loren I to deny the history of the Gourmet King.
‘I saw you earlier and it seemed like you were completely possessed.’
Now I can finally understand the appearance of Las Loren IV, who I thought was just in poor health.
It would be next to impossible to stay sane while being close to an admirer. There was also the possibility that Caimus was connected to a cult.
‘The guys I met in Ruyan must have been…’
X had gone to Ruyan to meet Sioras. At that time, I recalled a conversation between members of the War Machine guild stationed in Ruyan.
-So how long do I have to wait? My body is itching to die as I try to stay still in the village. It’s just a prophecy, and it’s nabal….
a prophecy.
At that time, the man said that it was definitely a prophecy.
X still didn’t know what the prophecy meant, but he could guess. Prophecy is predicting a planned event.
‘It’s probably the appearance of fish people.’
If it weren’t for
What if War Machine guild members were waiting in Ruyan to stop the fishmen?
‘The only person who can make that level of prophecy is…’
Right now, the only thing that came to mind was a worshiper of another being. Although he couldn’t be sure, X decided to leave the possibility open. There is a possibility that Caimus and the worshiper are collaborating with each other.
As I finished thinking, I heard the sound of a staff hitting the ground.
“So, are you all ready? Then let’s go!”
Gooooo!
The teleportation magic circle heading to Lanpul has been activated.
*
Lanpul was a lively city.
Thanks to the numerous adventurers active in the Patran Forest, the economy was naturally revitalized, and those adventurers even stayed in the village and spent gold generously.
Of course, there was no need for X to use gold in Ranful.
“I have to think of Xernis and save even one more penny.”
There isn’t enough time to hunt, so who has time to stay at an inn? Besides, there was no reason to buy a meal that was not much different from other places. X firmly set the upper limit.
‘Just buy specialty spices and street food.’
Extremely efficient consumption!
X had mastered the method of achieving high efficiency with a small amount of gold.
After taking a walk around Ranpul and finishing his salty shopping, X began to warm up.
“Wow, I feel like my body is clearing up already?”
Patran Forest, a lush green forest!
The size of the trees that grew from the beginning was beyond imagination. A normal user would have taken a leisurely forest bath while enjoying the scenery, but X was impatient.
visor!
X immediately took out the traveler’s sword.
I set a goal to become a mage ranker within 3 months. That alone was enough motivation, but a little while ago, I encountered a horde of powerful enemies that I had to defeat. It was natural for my body to itch.
Pot!
X muttered as he ran off the ground.
“Now, let’s get started properly.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
