The Wise Lord

Episode 24 – Perfect Strike

I can’t believe it…

I couldn’t believe it.

“No, that’s ridiculous…”

Lucas was frozen in place, dazed.

There were numerous orcs around Lucas.

But Lucas didn’t care.

Because those orcs were also looking at the same place Lucas was looking with shocked expressions.

A shriek, the scream of the air grinding into the air, can be heard.

top to bottom, bottom to side, side to top again.

Xian’s sword continued and continued.

It was a flow that could not distinguish a specific section.

“Uh, how…?”

No matter how much he thought about it, Lucas couldn’t believe the sight in front of him.

That black orc was a demonic beast that used the power of an auror.

It wasn’t exactly the power of an aura, but the same power as an aura didn’t change.

The only ones who can deal with such an aura are those who use the same aura.

So, only Lucas here,

Only Lucas, a beginner-level expert knight, could stand against that black orc.

‘Even I’m a monster who can’t guarantee the match…!’

Even Lucas was a mighty witch who could not easily predict a match.

On the other hand, Xian couldn’t use Aura at all.

I couldn’t even understand the concept of an aura, let alone an aura.

Dunjae among Dunjae, who was called the idiot of the marquis family.

That’s why Xian could never stand against that black orc.

It was an impossibility that could not even predict whether it was possible or not.

So Lucas thought everything was over.

however.

visor! Chae Chaeng!

was resisting

Xian was facing the Black Orc.

Besides, Xian’s swordsmanship.

Quick!

Kwaaang!

That’s something even Lucas can’t open easily.

No, there were subtleties that I could not understand even though I was watching.

for a moment.

Can’t you understand…?

“Wait, how the heck…!”

That moment.

pop.

Xi’an’s breath stopped.

At the same time, an unknown momentum erupts.

‘Elandur’s Secret…?’

Lucas, watching the scene, murmured to himself.

Elandur of the famous swordsmanship.

The Elandur family had secret secrets that had been passed down from generation to generation.

That is Durak Ellandur, the current head of Ellandur.

It was also a secret technique that raised him to the level of a master.

Lucas had seen the biggie, even over his shoulder.

To be precise, I had seen a secret technique done by Kai Ellandur, not by Durak.

Kai Ellandur, the eldest son of the Ellandur family.

A genius among geniuses called the star of the empire.

He was the owner of a talent that surpassed the current head of the house, Durak.

He was also a being who had reached the level of a master beginner at the age of only 26.

Kai is one of the highest level masters, who are said to be the pinnacle of humans beyond Durach.

He was a talented person who was expected to be able to reach the Grand Master.

Lucas had seen such a Kai even from a distance.

And I’ve also seen his swordsmanship.

so now.

Momentum bursting out around Xian.

That was very similar to the momentum Kai showed at that time.

Since Xi’an was also a son of Elandur, he could have known that secret technique.

but.

‘no.’

Lucas quickly shook his head.

‘That’s not Ellandur’s secret skill.’

What Xian sees now is different from what Kai showed him.

As for the difference in level, of course, Kai was ahead.

Xian couldn’t even become a Beginner.

Master Kai reached the beginner level.

The difference was so vast that it was meaningless to discuss the difference in level in the first place.

However, Lucas wondered if the difference in level was really right.

I don’t know if the realm of auror is far away.

The realm of swordsmanship may also be far away.

However, the fundamental martial that dwells within it.

In that case, Xian was far ahead.

But does that make sense?

Lucas didn’t know why he felt that way.

But one thing was certain.

The sword of Xian that is now being thrown out.

That’s what Lucas has been through all his life.

Kwa-jik!

It was the most perfect blow.

#

The black orc fell and the battle ended in an instant.

In fact, it was more like a massacre than a battle.

Even so, the orcs couldn’t stop Lucas.

No matter how powerful orcs are,

Lucas is a knight who has reached the level of an expert.

Although the orcs surrounded Lucas,

It was just to buy time.

Don’t let Lucas go against the black orc.

So that the black orcs can destroy the new era.

However, the black orc eventually fell into Xian’s hands.

With nothing to hold back, Lucas started to run wild.

Sword Expert’s Knight.

Even the magicians living in the dark forest,

At the level of an orc, Lucas couldn’t be helped.

The remaining orcs were slaughtered by Lucas’ hand.

In the first place, there weren’t that many Orcs left right after they were attacked by the new war.

In the end, the situation was overwhelmingly one-sided.

Ended up really quickly.

The orc colony was destroyed,

In contrast, there was no damage to Ruben.

exactly.

“Aww…!”

There was only Xian’s injury.

Xian looked around the situation calmly.

Lucas was slaughtering the few remaining orcs.

The soldiers were also helping Lucas.

“You can get some rest.”

That’s why, like the time of the goblins, it’s a f*cking plague…

So, there was no need for showmanship.

Iron pudduck.

Sian sat down in his seat, relieved.

“It’s so…!”

At the same time, a terrible pain ran through my body.

I didn’t feel it because I was in a trance,

Xian allowed the black orc to take small blows.

Fortunately, it was not a complete blow,

Most of all, it’s a shame that the S-class armor blocks it.

Otherwise, Xian would have died right away.

“Ellie will say something.”

It was as if I could already hear Ellie’s nagging.

Xian let out a blank laugh once.

Then he calmly turned his gaze to the fallen orc.

Huge body over 5m.

The scattered corpses of black orcs looked like a garden.

And a mana stone the size of a watermelon embedded in its chest.

Black energy was still flowing from the mana stone.

“A witch who uses the power of magic.”

Perhaps because of that, the Black Orcs were strong.

Even though it was strong, it was too strong.

To be honest, Xian didn’t even know how he defeated him.

Defeating such a monster was nothing short of a miracle.

Even so, it was possible for two reasons.

The first of which is.

“It seems like an S-rank sword gives off the power of an aura.”

Only Auras could deal with Auras.

However, Xian cannot use Aura.

So, there was no way for Xian to defeat the Black Orc.

Far from hurting them, they should have been knocked out right from the moment of the first collision.

But now.

The black orc lay beneath Xian,

There were only two wounds on the corpse, a clean cut and a stab.

that means that.

It meant that the S-class sword itself could generate the power of the aura.

“What the hell is it made of…”

I had never even heard of a sword like this.

Dwarves, called the artisan race.

Even with the weapons they created, this was impossible.

To use the power of an aura without an aura.

How is such an absurd thing possible?

Then, if the power of the Aura is added to this…

“How is it going?”

Xian couldn’t even imagine.

In any case, the S-class sword itself was able to generate the power of the aura.

Even so, it was only a qualification to stand against.

The decisive reason why Xian was able to defeat the Black Orc.

Xian took out his smart phone from his bosom.

Then a notification popped up on the screen.

[Mahon Sura Sword (Introduction Progression Rate 27.3% (+26.5%))]

“That means it has risen by 26.5%.”

The progress rate of the Mahon Sura sword increased by a whopping 26.5%.

Usually, the progress rate of Mahon Sura’s sword increased by 0.1% to 0.2%.

That too, by pulling the growth buff to full.

I had to perform the task until my muscles trembled, but the progress rate only rose by 0.1%.

However, this time the progress rate rose by a whopping 26.5%.

The progress of about 260 days went up at once.

“If you learn tricks, you’ll climb that much faster.”

Or does it mean that it’s a real battle?

Maybe it’s both, Xian thought.

That moment.

“young master! Are you all right!”

Hans’s cry came from one side.

Where I looked, Hans was running, panting.

He seemed to be coming to sort out the situation.

Hans was followed by Amelia.

The two quickly approached Xi’an.

“Where you got hurt! Do you have any injuries?”

“Gwa, are you okay?”

The look of Hans and Amelia asking at the same time.

Xian waved his hand at the two of them and waved them.

“are you okay. Compared to the time of Hobgoblin, it’s worth living.”

Of course, it wasn’t enough to say that it was worth living.

Even now, his trembling body was showing that there was a serious problem.

However, compared to Hobgoblin, it was quite liveable.

At that time, I really wanted to pass out right now.

It wasn’t to that extent now.

“I’m fine. What about the soldiers? Has anyone been hurt?”

“·······”

“·······”

At Xian’s words that followed, Hans and Amelia were at a loss for words.

Contrary to Xian’s concerns, there was no damage to the soldiers.

The firepower of the new war is also firepower,

It was because Xi’an showed the power to overwhelm the battlefield.

And the price is the current state of Xian.

Xian’s condition looked serious even at first glance.

That’s why even if you take care of yourself first, no one will say anything.

Even so, Xian was taking care of the soldiers and the people of the territory before himself.

“How every time…”

“·······”

Hans and Amelia’s expressions as they looked at Xian showed an unknown emotion.

Right then.

that buck

In the corner of the field of vision, another chuckle was heard.

Xi’an’s gaze naturally headed there.

gaze seen.

There stood Lucas, covered in blood.

Lucas slaughtered hundreds of orcs.

Lucas stood still for a while.

Lucas was stuck there with his gaze fixed on Cian.

The Xian Lucas knew was incompetent.

There is no smoke without fire.

I thought there must be a reason why people in the world are pointing fingers.

And the Xian I met was like that.

crazy about money

A greedy and stupid lord who doesn’t care about money.

Lucas defined Xian that way.

So when the black orc appeared, Lucas jumped in without hesitation.

Because I thought there was no one to deal with except myself.

It was the best decision from Lucas’ point of view.

After all, it was against the chivalry of loyalty.

Lucas is Amelia’s escort.

At the same time, Leuven’s estate.

Even without Xian’s order, he acted arbitrarily.

Even that judgment put the entire territory in danger.

As a result, even Amelia is in danger of dying.

If it wasn’t Xian.

What was the situation like after that?

The only fool was himself.

The foolish one was Lucas himself, who looked at it with preconceived notions.

Marquis’ madness.

incompetent bastard.

Lucas from this moment on.

I erased all the rumors related to Xian one by one.

How much time had passed like that?

“sorry.”

Lucas suddenly bowed his head towards Xian.

without saying anything sorry.

Lucas bowed his head towards Xian.

Lucas’s head bowed towards Xi’an did not intend to be lifted easily.

Seeing Lucas like that, Xian smiled a little.

It was because I knew roughly why Lucas was doing that.

“I will gladly accept any punishment.”

Lucas’ head bowed now contained countless emotions.

pride as a knight.

Guilt for endangering people.

And even thanks to Xian for saving Amelia.

Because I know how much it weighs.

Sian could see that Lucas’ actions were sincere.

That’s why Xian didn’t say much.

“If you do something wrong, you should be punished.”

“Tell me.”

Lucas, again, made no excuses.

“Hey, lord…”

Amelia interjected in a worried tone, but

Sian continued talking without even looking at Amelia.

“Lucas, from now on you train the soldiers in place of Hans.”

“…?”

“…?”

Hans and Amelia’s expressions went blank.

And Lucas also raised his head, wondering if he had heard it right.

“… I mean?”

Xian nodded.

“Right now Hans is training the soldiers, but as you can see, Hans is old enough to do it tomorrow.”

“It’s not that much, but young master?”

Xian lightly ignored Hans’ words.

“So from now on, Lucas. I want you to train the soldiers.”

Lucas is a sword expert knight.

It was an excellent article that could not be easily found even in the Empire.

that means that.

The condition of ‘excellent instructor’, which is the criterion for receiving additional effects, was fully satisfied.

And if he didn’t know it, it was clear that Lucas would train him better.

It is also true that Hans was a mercenary,

Because Lucas was a knight.

I don’t know if there will be much difference in terms of skill.

It was clear that Lucas would excel in the systematic way.

Above all, isn’t Lucas an active duty knight?

To be honest, I had to say that Lucas was better in terms of skills.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no talent better to pamper than this.

“·······”

Lucas didn’t answer easily.

Lucas’s words followed.

“I have the responsibility of escorting the young lady.”

Being in charge of the soldiers, Lucas has to spend most of the day with them.

To be honest, it was just training.

Xi’an’s words were practically nothing more than commanding the soldiers.

If that happens, you won’t be able to stick to Amelia’s side.

Amelia is left alone.

but.

“Don’t worry about that.”

Xian continued as if that was a big deal.

“Because I will protect Amelia no matter what.”

“yes yes?”

Then Amelia looked very upset.

“why?”

“Oh, no… That, that’s not it…”

How could you say such a strange thing without hesitation?

Amelia felt her heart race.

Whether or not he knows how Amelia feels.

Sian looked at Amelia and said.

“Amelia is the head of our Ruben. Of course, as the lord, I have to protect it.”

Amelia was a talent that should never be lost or lost.

How much gold Amelia will earn in the future, but losing Amelia?

Xian could never tolerate that.

“Ah… that’s what you meant…”

Amelia was sullen for some reason.

and.

“All right.”

Lucas nodded his head obediently at Xian’s words.

“Lou, Lucas?”

Amelia was startled.

He didn’t think that Lucas would agree so easily.

Lucas told Amelia that he was aware of Amelia’s feelings.

“I decided that if it was Lord Xian, I could trust her and send her away.”

“·······”

Amelia was at a loss for words.

It was the first time.

Lucas never said that.

Lucas always put Amelia’s safety first.

Lucas followed Amelia’s opinion no matter what, but

The only thing that went against Amelia was related to Amelia’s safety.

But entrusting your safety to others?

That was something Lucas had never done before as an escort knight.

No, wait a minute.

do you believe in me?

“Follow me. I will introduce you to the soldiers.”

Hans’s voice was heard before long.

“Then, please, my lady.”

Lucas bowed his head to Xian and then disappeared after Hans.

Sian and Amelia are left alone.

“Ah… I…”

Amelia felt quite awkward.

It was probably because of what Lucas said.

“Amelia.”

“yes yes?”

Sian jumped up from his seat and approached Amelia.

“There was something I wanted to ask you earlier.”

“Mu, mu, what is it…?”

Heart beating with a bat.

After a while, Xian pointed to one side with his finger and said.

“That black orc. How much?”

Whew.

What was I thinking?

Amelia shook her head.

Then he carefully inspected the body of the black orc and said,

“This is enough… even if I can’t do it, 3,000 gold will be generous.”

“Three thousand gold!”

Xian’s eyes widened and opened.

“Well, then…! Are those just orcs over there?”

“I’ll have to look closely, but maybe… I won’t get 50 gold per dog?”

“50 gold?!”

Xian’s eyes widened as if they were going to tear.

The number of Orcs caught this time is a whopping 3,000.

Then, all the gold obtained only from orc corpses…

‘150,000 gold!!!!!’

Here’s the top-notch mana stone mine!

“Ahh!! Ahh···! aaa!!!”

Xian began to tremble as if he had been electrocuted by lightning magic.

“Ahhh···!!!!!”

No, it was more than just being electrocuted, it seemed like it was a teleportation.

My body was shaking and shaking!

“Why, why… poetry…?”

Amelia startled and shuddered.

But Xian was still trembling.

It looked kind of terrifying.

“Oh!”

Then pop.

Xian’s contact was cut off.

Want something for a while.

“This is not the time! quest!!”

Xian hurriedly took out his smartphone.

And then I ran the mobile lord right away.

Then, as if he were reading Xian’s thoughts.

Tring!

A cheerful notification sound came from the smartphone.

『[George Quest] – ‘A winning strategy that even Son Tzu’s military method admired, first bread!’ (clear!)

▶Awesome! That’s amazing!

It’s not enough to hit the ball with confidence,

Even the ability to decapitate an enemy commander!

You overcame that crisis wonderfully!

That’s NO NO!!

Now call me Lord King of Kings!

It was truly amazing!

.

Tring!

《’Elodie’s Research Institute Lv.1′ has been opened in the [Field Facilities] category.》

《Higher-level facilities have been opened in the [Manor Facility] category.》

《In Elodie’s Lab, you can research the technologies needed to develop your territory.》

《You can read Elodie’s knowledge.》

《Use the knowledge Elodie left behind to develop the territory in a wonderful way!》

.

.

“Uh… well.”

Xian shook his head.

It’s good that the quest has been cleared, but as expected.

The words of that mobile lord couldn’t adapt at all.

‘And who is the grandson?’

Seeing the mobile lord keep talking about it, it seemed like he was a great person.

He seemed to be a man of tremendous ability, especially specialized in the strategy side…

‘What do you know?’

Xian decided to be curious only to that point.

Because that’s not what’s important now.

Xi’an immediately connected to the [territory facility] section.

And maybe thanks to the quest reward, ‘New!’ I saw a lot of facilities with the writings attached.

There were many facilities that were useful for pretending.

‘Let’s check it slowly later.’

Xian sighed and lowered the scroll.

Eventually, I found the facility I was looking for.

『《Elodie’s Laboratory Lv.1》 (50,000G)

▶You! Have you ever imagined something like this?

Like wanting to fly freely in the sky.

You want to steal the heart of someone you like.

Or by stopping time…

But, as you know, it is practically impossible to realize such an imagination.

It’s just imagination.

But here!

There was a being who made those many imaginations into reality!

Her name is Elodie!

In the past, he was a fearsome wizard who was called the Great Mage!

A miracle wizard who makes the impossible a reality!

Typically, it stops time… ahem!

Now, what more needs to be said!

Elodie’s research center contains all of Elodie’s knowledge!

Install it now!』

– (Basic effect) You can read the knowledge left by Elodie.

– (Basic effect) Various researches necessary for the development of the territory become possible.

– (Default effect) +10,000% faster technology research!

– (Default effect) “Oh no?! How could you even think like this?!?” The level of Gnostic Wizards has risen dramatically!

– (Default effect) “Oh no?! Was this a possible theory?!” The level of Territory Researchers has risen significantly!

– (Additional effect) Can be selected when upgrading the laboratory.

.

.

“and···!”

Sian let out an exclamation involuntarily.

It was also because the effect of Elodie’s laboratory was terrifying.

Specifically, technology research rate +10,000%.

This meant that the efficiency was as much as 100 times.

One day was enough for a study that would have taken 100 days,

This means that a study that would have taken 1,000 days can be completed in 10 days.

‘Are you crazy?’

That’s how the word ‘crazy’ came out.

Indeed, one of the six Arnaises, Archmage Elodie.

The laboratory had to be set up.

however.

‘Wasn’t it just giving?’

Xian looked at the writing next to Elodie’s laboratory.

None other than (50,000 G).

To put it simply, it meant that he had to pay 50,000 gold to build Elodie’s laboratory.

I thought it was just given because I got it as a quest reward.

‘Somehow he used the word ‘open’.’

Sian shook his head.

Well, if you look at the value of the name Elodie, it was nothing but a bargain.

“There is nothing that does not require money.”

It was truly a state-of-the-art judo that could not be careless for even a moment.

Xian took out a bag of money from his bosom.

Then he poured out the gold coins inside.

empty.

To be precise, it poured out the air contained in it.

“·······”

There was not a penny.

Not too long ago, there was 21,000 gold, but arrows and mana stones, including new wars.

I bought them because I used them all up.

Xian slowly looked away.

There, Amelia was looking at Xian with strange eyes.

to be honest···.

Amelia wondered what Cian was doing.

He was suddenly electrocuted by electricity.

I contacted you again.

Then he took out a strange object and muttered something to himself.

In a word, I was doing a ssang show by myself.

And now.

“Amelia. Let’s sell those orcs right away!”

make money again

“······ Ah yes.”

Amelia decided to just give up the idea.
