The Wise Lord

Episode 27 – The wise lord (1)

The main house of Ellandur, located in the Marquis of Ellandur.

And a spacious office located in it.

“You were lucky.”

Isabelle sat down and looked out the window.

A soft smile appeared on Isabel’s face.

Contrary to the usual expression of emotions, Isabel’s expression showed satisfaction.

Isabelle slowly turned her gaze to the boulder on the table.

5 mana stones with a dark blue color.

It was also a precious mana stone boasting the highest quality.

Isabelle picked up one of them and showed it.

A tremendous amount of mana transmitted through the fingertips.

Isabel had seen countless mana stones while living in Ellandur’s house, but it was the first time she had ever seen a mana stone with such strong power.

A word that may possibly exceed the superlative level.

Isabelle could see that the words were not false.

“You worked hard, Lelith.”

“no.”

At Isabelle’s words that continued, the commander-in-chief Lerit bowed deeply.

To be honest, it was true that I hadn’t expected it from Lelith’s report that Lucia’s auction house had the highest quality mana stones.

The highest quality mana stones were almost non-existent on the continent.

If there were any, they were all things owned by owners.

That’s why I thought it was nonsense.

However, it was Isabel who went directly to Lucia because she had a desire to do so.

And the results are very satisfactory.

Although the expenditure reached 100,000 gold,

Considering the value of this mana stone, it was not a waste at all.

In the first place, compared to Ellandur’s wealth, it was just a pittance.

Isabelle turned her gaze and spoke to Lelith.

“Choose two of the best quality and give them to Kai.”

“Are you talking to Master Kai?”

Isabelle nodded slowly.

“It will be necessary as the National Foundation Day event is coming soon. If this is the highest quality mana stone… it will be of great help to Kai. Let Kai know how to use this.”

“Master Kai will be very happy.”

Lelith did not disagree with Isabel’s decision.

Kai Ellandour.

The son of Isabel and the eldest son of the Ellandur family.

At the same time, at the age of 26, he was a genius among geniuses who reached the level of a master beginner.

A being called the star of the empire, carrying the future of Elandur.

Isabel’s decision was natural given that the current head of Ellandur, Durak Ellandur, was his favorite child.

“Give one to Roswell and Nathan.”

Second and eldest daughter, Roswell.

The third and second son, Nathan.

All of them were the children of Isabel and inherited the lineage of Ellandur, and were possessors of outstanding talent.

They weren’t as good as Kai, but they were geniuses who reached the advanced and intermediate levels of expert respectively.

So, two for Kai.

One each for Roswell and Nathan.

With this, there is only one mana stone left.

“The other one…”

Isabel looked at the mana stone in her hand.

Kai, Roswell and Nathan.

Aside from these three, the Elandur family still had one child.

Cyan Elandour.

But Isabel didn’t care.

I quickly erased Xian’s existence from my mind.

It was because Xian was the one who would soon die and disappear.

That would also be true, isn’t Xi’an going to Ruben now?

It was evident that he was still in Leuven, since there was no word of any escape in the reports that followed.

So maybe by now.

It’s something you might be lost in when you die.

It was difficult to enter the dark forest, so I couldn’t confirm whether he was alive or dead.

Even if Xian died, he might have died a long time ago.

So Isabel erased the existence of Xian from her mind.

It feels good to get the highest quality mana stone.

“I can give it as a gift to the Crown Prince at the National Foundation Day event.”

I didn’t want to get caught up in this feeling.

#

Chara la la la la la la la la rock.

Gold coins pouring endlessly.

“Ahh···!!!! Ahhh···!!!!!!”

Xian couldn’t come to his senses at all!

Sian’s body began to tremble without even realizing it.

And Amelia, who was watching it.

“Honestly… I didn’t expect to receive this much.”

Amelia understood Xian’s reaction this time.

The market price of top-notch mana stones was about 2,000 gold each.

Of course, even this was a crazy price, but Amelia thought about it once more.

Wouldn’t it be possible to sell it at a higher price if you put a premium on it?

It was also true that the highest quality mana stones were no longer hard to find on the continent.

And the premium is for those who absolutely need mana stones.

You could think of them as wizards or alchemists.

However, what Amelia has experienced through her long ascent.

They were generally poor.

I couldn’t afford to pay the value of the premium.

So, Amelia is targeting people with rotten money.

It was aimed at none other than high-ranking nobles.

They want to buy things that increase their value even if they add more money.

Because they consider themselves to be dignified.

Is there a premium called scarcity here?

Then it could be sold at a higher price than the current market price.

3 times the expected amount.

It was about 6,000 gold each.

That’s how Amelia sold her feet and offered the mana stone to Lucia’s auction house.

Of course, the route to obtain the highest-grade mana stone was thoroughly hidden.

To be precise, he lied that he had left it as an heirloom.

Because there was nothing good about being known.

The price of such sales is a whopping 10 times the existing market price.

Each one was able to receive a whopping price of 20,000 gold.

The gold coin obtained in this way was as much as 100,000 gold.

Excluding the 10% auction fee, the actual money obtained was 90,000 gold.

It was a staggering sum indeed.

Cheer La Rock.

The gold coins that had been pouring on the floor finally began to show their end.

Gold coins piled up like a mountain.

Xian quickly tapped the calculator in his head.

After installing Elodie’s Lab, the remaining amount was 23,000 gold.

If you add 90,000 gold to this…

‘113,000 gold!!!!’

ah.

crazy

There are no words to describe this other than crazy!

“Now···!”

Xian took out his smart phone from his bosom.

And then run the mobile lords.

First of all, I went into the 【Management Facility】 item.

Then, various facilities were listed.

From the existing facilities to the higher-grade facilities obtained by opening Elodie’s laboratory.

Xian looked over the facilities calmly and was lost in thought.

first.

‘I have to build a mine first.’

That would be the case, and it was the mana stone mines that generated the most revenue at the moment.

To be precise, it is a mana stone that has purified demonic energy.

‘I can’t refine a large amount of demonic energy in one day…’

Right now, Xian was manually refining his demonic energy, so he couldn’t get many mana stones.

No more than 2-3 per day.

However, when Elodie’s laboratory was completed, the story was different.

There was ample room for mass production by using the facilities inside.

Of course, there was still a lot of time left before the research center was built…

Tring!

[Instant Completion Ticket – 17,500 G]

《When you are feeling frustrated while proceeding, try Hyunjil─.》

Hold on.

Xian pressed the X button on the notification window that popped up without thinking.

But wasn’t the instant completion ticket worth 20,000 gold?

It seemed that as time went on, the price went down as well.

anyway.

Even now, 20,000 gold was obtained each mana stone.

If 100 per day. No, if you can only make 50 of them…?

‘A day’s profit is as much as 1 million gold!!!’

It is unconditional.

It was unconditional!

I had to buy the mine unconditionally even if I beat all the other facilities!

Xi’an found the mine item in 【Manor Facility】.

『《Mine Lv.1》 (7,000G)

▶Do you have any minerals in your territory?

If so, try building 《Mine Lv.1》!

This mine was hand-improved by transcendent artisans for workers!

Well… the transcendent artisans went out on their own for their masterpieces.

Because quality ingredients are essential for masterpieces!

what?

Are you hesitant because you already have a mine?

so-and-so!

This is no ordinary mine!

A mine improved by the craftsmen of the Transcendentalists!

Not only the safety of the workers, but also the garbage coming out of the mine!

It also purifies all contaminants such as dust, waste rock and leachate!

You just have to mine the minerals and you’re done!

Buy it now!』

– (Basic effect) Mining amount +300%

– (Additional effect) “Oh, no! Such a pleasant mine exists?!” Workers’ safety and efficiency increase to the maximum!

– Of course… there must be a mine in the territory, right?

.

.

‘How come, it looks like the explanation is different from what I saw last time?’

It seemed like that, but Xian didn’t care too much.

Because it didn’t matter now.

The cost of constructing the mine is 7,000 gold.

It was only 7,000 gold.

‘Only…?’

Xian paused at the thought that came to him without even realizing it.

the word only.

7,000 gold is ‘only’ in front of the money!

Hold on.

Xian pressed the purchase button without hesitation.

《Purchased!》

Then, along with the popping up notification window, the gold coins piled up like a mountain shook for a moment.

But that was all.

Did the money go out…? There wasn’t much of a change to be desired.

That would be the case, because even after building the mine, Xian had a whopping 106,000 gold left!

“Ahh···!”

Xian couldn’t come to his senses at all.

And what does this situation mean?

Hyeonjil’s time…

has arrived

『＜＜Basic Kitchen Lv.1＞＞ (3,000G)

▶Do you know what is the most important thing in war?

Outstanding strategy and tactics?

A powerful force that overwhelms the enemy?

Or a well-trained soldier?

ding!

Wrong!

The most important thing in war!

That’s right~!

ceremony! amount!

With this restaurant, the morale of the soldiers trained is high!

The loyalty of the local people is thrilling!

.

.

Hold on.

《Purchased!》

▶ What kind of ancestors gave the ingredients for the restaurant?

– (Basic effect) Crop yield +300%

– (Additional effect) “Oh, no! Such fertile land for a crop like me?!” Crops grow faster!

Hold on.

《Purchased!》

『《Forge Lv.1》 (9,000G)

▶Now, I must have eaten warmly!

I must have been training hard!

Then what do you need now-!

.

.

Hold on.

《Purchase Complete… Complete…?》

Suddenly, the status of the notification window became strange.

It started stuttering as if there was an error somewhere.

That figure is like, ‘This can’t be like this…?’ seemed to say

Could it be that they don’t understand Xian’s behavior of purchasing without hesitation?

That would also be the facilities Xian had purchased so far.

The cost of the facilities, including the mine alone, reached 23,000 gold.

A staggering amount of money for a family of four to play and eat for 63 years.

Considering the situation in Xi’an, it was something I couldn’t even dream of.

But things are different now.

Xian had no intention of stopping here.

After purchasing the facilities, there was still 90,000 gold left in the pockets of the eyes!

Even right now, it was 90,000 gold.

Considering the mana stones to be sold in the future, it was impossible to even estimate!

“more···! Give me more…!”

Xian’s eyes began to light up.

And is it that he accepts Xian’s challenge?

Tring!

‘Recommended!’ of Yeongji Facility Items popped up in rapid succession.

『[Recommended!] 《Pleasant Healer Lv.1》 (3,000 G).

▶ All the sick and injured, gather here!

《Pleasant Healing Center Lv.1》 that maximizes treatment with plenty of natural energy!

oh my gosh!

This is a temple, a healing center!』

– (Additional effect) “Ah… is this a paradise on earth…” Patients recover faster by an additional +200%!

– Of course… you’ll need a high-level therapist!

.

.

“oh? Just what Ellie needed.”

In the meantime, Ruben suffered large and small injuries to the villagers and soldiers due to the battles with various traps.

Because of that, Ellie was extremely busy.

I thought Ellie would really like it if I installed this healing center.

It was perfect for Ruben.

“As expected, it is a recommended item!”

Hold on.

Xian pressed the purchase button without hesitation.

《Purchased…!!》

Then the notification window changed again.

I don’t know why, but it was a notification window that seemed a little surprised.

And again.

Tring!

《Livable Brick House》 (10 bundles, 2,000 G)

▶The essential elements for human life are clothing, food, and shelter!

Among these, the greatest is Zhou!

Come on, isn’t it picking up stars in the sky to prepare my own house these days?

Life in a shabby shack is also a sensitive world.

Ah… where can you find a brick house suitable for a family of four to live in?

The best choice for you!

If you supply mana, all the various convenience functions will even work?

A dream house for young people!

Buy it now!』

– (Basic effect) Life satisfaction of villagers greatly increases!

– (Default effect) The territory’s population growth rate is rapidly increasing! Why? Aye, you know!

– (Additional effect) “Oh, no?! Are there features that make it cool in the summer and not cold in the winter?” The territories settled in Leuven do not think of leaving!

– Of course, there must be something to supply mana, right?

.

.

“Oh yes! Come to think of it, our young people. I haven’t had a proper house in a while.”

Leuven was literally in ruins.

There were territory defense facilities and soldier training facilities, but other facilities were virtually non-existent.

Roughly built shack.

Or they were living in tents.

“Because the people of Yeongji suffered a lot.”

Are these recommendations really good?

Cuckoo.

Xian bought nearly 100 houses without hesitation.

《Gu, purchase complete?!?!?》

Then the notification window popped up.

It’s like, ‘No, that’s ridiculous!!!’ I thought I was screaming…

“······ Who is really in here?”

This was suspicious enough.

Tring!

Soon, a new notification window popped up.

It’s like ‘Ha! Why don’t you buy this one!’ seemed to say

Normally, I would have pressed the X button tremblingly, but…

Hold on.

《Purchase complete?!?!?》

There was nothing rough about Xian now.

Hold on.

《Go, purchase…?》

Hold on.

《Buy Love!!!》

Hold on.

《It’s done!!!!》

Xian continued the confrontation (?) with the mobile lord.

#

Amelia had been watching Xi’an’s actions from earlier.

But no matter how much you think about it.

‘What am I really doing?’

Amelia couldn’t understand Cian’s behavior at all!

Cyan and Amelia.

These two were of the same race, but of different s*xes.

So, no matter how incomprehensible it is.

No matter what you do, even if it’s an act you want to do.

A certain degree of consensus was bound to form.

To a certain extent, ‘Oh, is that so?’ There were bound to be things I wanted to do.

But what now…

“Ha ha ha ha ha! I must have been very good at it! Take out more, you bastard!”

There was nothing at all that I could understand!

Amelia shook her head.

To be honest…

I didn’t even want to understand it anymore.

Amelia quietly went outside.

After coming out, Ruben was silent.

It is embarrassing to even call it Yeongji.

It was a barren place without even a proper house.

And Amelia, who became a resident of Ruben herself.

‘Because I just need to do it one by one.’

But Amelia had no regrets.

Because I saw hope in Ruben.

To be precise, I could see something in a man named Xian.

Of course sometimes…

No, most of them…

“what? Witch ranch? You can tame a demon here? What nonsense is that…! I can’t. I can’t stand this!”

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

“…”

He just seemed like a crazy person.

However, at the crucial moment, he was more reliable than anyone else.

Xi’an when facing a black orc.

From that appearance, Amelia could be sure.

Therefore, he had no regrets about becoming a member of Ruben’s territory.

‘Well, even if it’s like this. It’s a long way for Ruben to become a manor, though.’

Amelia shook her head.

And I tried to walk slowly

It was then.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung…!!!

Suddenly the ground began to shake violently.

As if there was a huge earthquake.

The ground shook so much that it was difficult to balance.

Amelia managed to pull herself up from a fall.

And the view looking up.

“…?”

At the same time, Amelia’s expression went blank.

It was the sight that Amelia saw as well.

Tick-tock.

It was because it was a sight of a building… being constructed.

Buildings were being built on their own, even when no one was there.

Besides, that one wasn’t the end.

Cheer la la rock.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung…!

Tick-tock.

Those rare phenomena were taking place all over Leuven.

All eyes looking around, all!

Various buildings were being built!

A majestic sight as if the whole of Leuven had been razed to the ground.

“What, what is this…!”

to Leuven

The cataclysm was beginning.
