“Mason, I intend to develop this city.” I went to the subject.Mason clenched his teeth.“Young Master, I don’t mean to be rude but you are putting your plans on people without knowing their situation.”I stayed silent for a minute, and then I understood.I didn't realize I was imposing my thoughts on him, and I always assumed that others would want to do everything I asked of them.It was a habit I'd developed after spending so much time with my summons.They would simply obey whatever I said with joy and excitement, and I had assumed that everyone else would be the same.It makes sense why the young masters of the second generation in the stories I read were arrogant and proud, constantly believing that others ought to bow down and heed their orders.They didn't become that way because they wanted to, but because of their surroundings!Mason was irritated and unable to communicate his annoyance. No matter what, the person standing before him was a true noble.He needed to travel to
I spoke casually. "I recall that you promised to serve me if I could save your daughter."Mason nodded, sighing. "You've saved my daughter's life. I am now your lifelong servant.""Good, because I would have been in a pickle if you hadn't opted to keep your pledge." I cracked a smile.Mason turned to face the young man who was standing next to the bed. He'd met the Young Master previously when the nobleman first arrived in the city.At the time, the Young Master thrashed a resident for impeding his carriage's passage. It was a minor squabble in everyone's view, and Mason immediately deemed the nobility to be ignorant and pompous at the time.The young master in front of him appeared to be a completely different person. As if he was fearless of everything, the scornful eyes from before were suddenly filled with vigour and courage."I intend to make changes to Ice Demon City. Oh, in case you haven't heard, I took over the adjacent city and merged it with mine.""What?!"I stated my inte
The stench was so overwhelming that I had to use magic several times while transporting the manure to the farmlands.The residents kept asking me different questions along the way as if they were interested in learning everything there was to know about me.Questions like, "How does magic work?" or "What magic did I use to block the smell?"They were interested in learning the magic I employed to conceal the stench since they found it useful.I just offered them straightforward responses; I wasn't irritated by them. It's been a pleasure talking with them. I haven't had a conversation like this in a long time.An hour later, we arrived in the farmlands. My tools had already been laid on the ground.I was confident that the tools I made would make it possible to begin ploughing even if the farmlands were still heavily covered in snow.I divided the farmers into two groups. One would be in charge of ploughing the land with the tools, while the other would be in charge of spreading the ma
Alfred was certainly confident for a reason. There weren't many organizations or noble houses that could insult the Red Tower unless it was one of the Dukes or the Imperial family."Alfred, come," the eighth elder said as she walked away, and Alfred hurriedly followed her.When they both left, the first elder stood up and said, "Grand Elder, aren't we moving too quickly? Even though he is only an ordinary baron, the fact that he vanquished the Count proved that he had skills.""I had no idea you could be so wary of a mere baron, First Elder," the Second Elder mocked with a smirk.The first elder didn't even look at the second older, disregarding him completely."Grand elder, I believe we should investigate this issue further."The Grand Elder gave a nod."I know the baron is not ordinary, but that is all there is to it. I only want to use this opportunity to remind the empire that the empire will soon have more than five persons at the s-rank!"The Grand Elder's comments reverberated
Unaware of it, five days had already passed.Time does not wait for anyone, and I do not always keep track of it. The city had been under construction, and so much was happening at the time that it felt like time was flying by.It could be regarded to be fate.I had asked Solan to accompany me to Vermillion City. We were intended to travel through the dungeon at first, but an unanticipated complication had arisen.A Monster Wave.I took part in and witnessed a monster wave firsthand. And there was one thing I wanted to keep in mind. When a monster wave was approaching, no one could enter the dungeon and no creature could leave.No matter how strong I was, I couldn't do anything to change this."Solan put on a heavy coat and a veil."Solan scowled, hunched her neck, and asked, "Master, why?" while looking at me in a perplexed manner."I don't want any unnecessary complications. You should be well aware of what that face is capable of. The number of men who perished while attempting to
Solan furrowed as he stared at Rui.Something didn't feel right to her."Are you the Cloudmantle family's young Miss? I'm not sure who you're trying to fool. Despite its small size, the Cloudmantle family is a respected Viscount family governing Cloud City and Heartmantle City.Solan questioned."You don't even have an A-rank guard and only one old man at B-rank." "Otherwise how could thieves rob the carriage of a viscount family?"Solan realized that having an A-ranked guard in a Viscount family would be uncommon, but it was still possible. There were still a few of rogue mercenaries eager to leave the mercenary life and serve a noble family when the time came.Even the Baron of the city that had taken over her master's city had an A-rank guard who she had to assassinate.When questioned, Rui maintained his cool and just sighed."My mother is a regular woman from a little town. Her encounter with my father happened by chance." Rui remained silent for a brief moment before respondi
"I said, 'Who are you?'"Solan inquired once again. Due to the fact that she was with me, I could already see that she was being quite patient.If it had been one of those days when she was on her own, I'm sure she'd already flipped this tavern upside down.The scarred man laughed. He slapped his palm on the table in front of him as an aura flowed through his right hand.Baam!Instantaneously, the table was shattered, and the food was all thrown to the floor.There was silence throughout the tavern."Who is he? How come he is so haughty?" A confused diner muttered something in whispers."You're probably new here. His name is Ian Creek, and he is the leader of the Red Skull Mercenary band. Don't make any noise. He is a wicked individual. He doesn't need an excuse to murder people... " Someone seated next to him advised."What? In the town, how could a mercenary do such a thing? Wait... " The guest appeared to have realized something and stopped speaking.The Red River village was a par
Revry and the elders paused for a while before the servant darted in again.Panting, the servant struggled to speak. He had rushed from the gate to the inner hall without stopping. And because he was simply an ordinary person, it was a challenging task."Relax and talk properly," one of the elders said."T-The person who arrived claimed to be from a noble family.""Tch, a mere noble, and he has the guts to wreck havoc at our gates?"One of the seniors made a sly grin.But Revry wasn't as arrogant as the elders. If a nobleman had the audacity to cause trouble while knowing the other person was a viscount, it meant the nobleman was up to something."Did you inquire about his name?""He claimed to be from the Alheim family." The servant spoke fearfully."Alheim?" Revry recognized this as a difficult situation right away. Who hadn't heard of the powerful Alheims by this point?Only a month after receiving the title of baron, Riel Alheim defeated Count Forser and slaughtered all of his num
