"Origin Demonic Art?""Analyze."[Analyzing…][The book is a technique book with illusion magic cast on it that features demonic art.][This book will draw the attention of anyone who gets close to it.]"What kind of demonic art is it?"[Mystic Rank - Lower Demon Mutational Art][Consuming the blood of living beings will greatly accelerate growth. Consuming the blood of the same species will accelerate advancement][Side effect: becomes a demonic mutant]I narrowed my eyes and opened the book, flipping through the pages.It turned out that this book only had six pages, and the rest were blank."This is unmistakably the demonic art in which Zagan trained. It has nothing to do with bloodlines and everything to do with demonic art!""Can mere demonic art transform someone into a demon?" I kept my breath held.It was exactly because of this evil technique that Zagan and his family were able to slay thousands of people and wield such horrific strength.Zagan would have seen that the demoni
Only thirty minutes passed.Chaos reigned throughout the entire Azure Valley. The Duchess directly intervened as warnings of a demonic aura spread throughout the entire northern region.It was impossible for her to stop people from discussing about it even after she instantly banned any news about it and summoned all the high-ranking nobles to the spot.When Count Rakan first arrived at the hidden headquarters, he was taken aback. The same applied to Count Russell.As soon as he arrived, Lexus knelt down and peered at the head that had been severed from the neck."It really is Zephyr!"The wind switched abruptly and several persons soon arrived at the covert base, causing a variety of noises to be heard."Did the Duchess kill him?" Lexus pondered."Wait a minute, wasn't Zephyr hiding in his mansion? We just left there and are now here." As soon as Rakan regained awareness, he was in shock."Did you even need to think about it? Zephyr obviously had other ideas, and his preparations wer
I had to spend all day reviewing Ice Demon City's development.The gemstones have accumulated to the size of a medium-sized vault, and the poultry farm is thriving thanks to the magical apparatus I set up.There were now over a thousand chirping chicks on the chicken farm. The wheat and rice farms were the only ones that took longer to complete since the irrigation system was more difficult to construct.The irrigation system, however, would cover the entire farm in a few weeks, according to Mason, with whom I had just spoken earlier.I had already given Richard the merchant a shipment of jewels for exchange. Even though I have more than one hundred crates of gemstones, I had only delivered him one because the price would go up higher due to the limited supply.Additionally, just this morning, Count Rakan sent me an intriguing letter.He asked if I wanted to go look at some beast people.In a nutshell, Count Rakan desired to provide me with some beastmen. Beastmen are a race in this w
"Markov, we've been expecting you." A man in leather armour approached the merchant caravan to greet it. The merchant's leader went by the name of Markov."Please express gratitude to the count for receiving our company." Markov gave the knight a cordial salute.And soon Zikk discovered the cause of Markov's confidence in the ability of their modest camp to defend them from the Endless Forest's creatures."So, this is the golem's core that ranks as a demi-Saint." Markov inquired, surprised. He could still feel a repulsive strain on him from where he was standing, keeping him from getting any closer. He was just a few meters away."Unfortunately, this is simply a fragment of the Iron Golem's core. The core had been shared by the duchess with every city that surrounded the Endless Forest. The largest shard should be at Ice Demon City," explained the knight captain."However, there's nothing to be concerned about." No monsters will even approach this location as long as this shard remain
The villagers wiped the perspiration from their foreheads.Since there were now thousands of hens on the farm, working there during the day was difficult. A difficult assignment, indeed.The chicks chirped and pecked at their food—insects and grains—making chirping noises that filled the air.Taking care of the farm was Ryan. A carriage pulled up next to the farm's entrance just as he was finishing up with the chickens. When the young baron emerged from it, he was astounded.He quickly wiped all the sweat from his face with his shirt and quickly washed his hands in a nearby bucket."Baron! I had no idea you'd show up.""Don't worry. I was only here to assign you some additional work. Will you have the capacity to handle it? I asked.Behind the carriage I was in, there was another one. There were five cows there: one male and four females."Yes, of course. I always feel rejuvenated after a long day of work, despite the fact that running the farm is challenging. In addition, I am gettin
"Mercantile Leonard, I heard you say that even a village is much richer than the city and that Ice Demon City doesn't even look like a city." One of the workmen was in awe of what he saw.Leonard had been portraying himself as an authority figure and narrating tales about how awful, impoverished, and crumbling Ice Demon City was for the entire two-week journey.In fact, he had said that the absence of anything noteworthy in the city made him forget what the prior name of the place had been.Leonard turned to face his feet. Actually, he was gazing down the road.He turned around and peered off into the horizon, but the stone-paved road continued as far as the eye could see."This used to be a dirt road...No, not even major cities build stone roads outside of their boundaries!"The path leading to the massive iron gate, which was taller than their large merchant vehicle, was cobbled, as opposed to the muddy, uneven track that had previously been present. Now that he thinks about it, the
"What in the world is that?" Leonard exclaimed loudly.He was witnessing a bizarre device that was autonomously moving. Although someone was using it, they appeared to be using it without much difficulty.The utility of this particular object was immediately apparent to Leonard; it was for ploughing the farm.Ploughing the ground was one of the most physically taxing tasks for a farmer. Ploughing land wasn't something that the average person could do easily. And in this particular circumstance, the soil was rough and non-arable.It would be simple if the person possessed warrior prowess or even a hint of aura. However, why would someone choose to become a farmer if they had access to aura?Therefore, regular people were left to take on jobs like farming.Leonard once more turned to face the farmer. The individual was only lightly stroking what appeared to be the item's handles, and the machine was ploughing terrain at a rapid pace."What is it with the prying eyes?" Leonard was interr
Sneeze!"Hmm, is someone talking crap behind my back?" I was startled when I unintentionally sneezed while asleep.I could see the sun reflected in my room window."It's time to board the train." I got up and washed my teeth before heading down to the main hall."Are you going to train, young Master?" In the main hall, Jacob was already waiting for me with a metal box that resembled the tiffins from back on Earth in his hands.I agreed by nodding."Please bring this with you. It consists of smoked hog and fruit salad." Jacob thrust the tiffin into my grasp, not taking nay for an answer."How am I supposed to explain that I have a ton of meat in my system storage?" I simply accepted it.Due to my intention to see the mines as well, I decided against taking a carriage. And the mines were located deep within the Endless Forest.The residents enthusiastically greeted me along the route."Good day, young master!""Young Master, the food tasted fantastic yesterday!" With a broad smile, a ch
