The auction for the Stele of Future Past has begun."Four hundred thousand gold coins.""Four hundred and fifty thousand gold coins."This stele did not capture the attention of many people.By the time all was said and done, it was only a stele. It could be a legendary treasure, endowing the holder with the ability to shake the sky. It could possibly be nothing more than a useless bit of stone."System, do you recognize the value of this stele?""..." The system was deafeningly quiet."If I want to get this, I have to offend some significant individuals here."I thought I heard the system sigh right then and there. Then again, I thought it might have simply been in my head."The host is now in the third circle.""The host can reach the fifth circle in three months after using the stele.""What? Do you mean that this stele will provide me with experience?""Yes."I think I'm out of options. I was prepared to sweep the entire third floor of the dungeon only to get to the fourth circle.
[Blade of Seven Seas-Disaster Rank][Ancient Disaster-ranked sword forged from the corpses of World Turtle, an extinct epic creature species. This enormous sea creature resembles a sea turtle, with a carapace so massive that travellers mistook it for an island. The sailors would then fall on its back, where the beast would overturn and devour them with its massive beak.][The Blade is capable of evolving.]"An Epic Rank Monster that is Extinct?""That is an intriguing subject. I'm curious what was so horrific that it drove an entire species of creatures capable of reaching epic rank extinct.""Unfortunately, I don't have somebody with whom I could discuss such matters.""You make people uncomfortable, Master. You're talking to yourself once more.""You won't get it, Solan. You are still in the dark about such significant issues. The less you know about it, the better." I expressed myself solemnly."Master, why do you always act as though something is immensely complicated and dangerou
A white-clothed youth with a breathtaking radiance emerged from the second-class compartment.He then carefully moved his gaze to the first-class compartment, where the Imperials were seated."Princess, Please accept my apologies for having taken this thing.""It's ok, Mister Hellif. Since Mister Hellif has done so, it must be of paramount importance." The Princess replied gently once again from the First Class chamber.Hellif nodded calmly, but his next words caught everyone's attention: "I wonder how the heroes are doing?"Princess Arika smirked. This was not the place for them to discuss anything related to the heroes. Nevertheless, even if it were, she couldn't access it.Even among the Imperials, her sister, Princess Ladia, was the only one who could speak of the heroes."Please accept my apologies, Hellif. But you are well aware that I do not have access to such knowledge, and even if I did, I am just not required to speak about it."Her usually sweet voice had taken on a faint
While some of the nobility were interested in the four fruits that had been carried out as the final item, others were not."A bunch of idiots squandering their money on frivolous items." The elves' Grand Elder scoffed silently as he and his followers walked away resolutely.His figure flickered and vanished from his chamber with almost anyone noticing.The Imperial Chamber."The Grand Elder has departed."Eleven remarked quietly as he peered into the location of the elven chamber, having a strange feeling.He honestly believed that because elves were historically connected to and associated with nature, they would be the first to realize the value of the fruits. They could quickly detect the aura emitted by any fruit or plant, even if something was blocking the aura.So he paused for a moment, wondering if the fruits were a fraud."It's a good thing that old man is no longer around. I had the impression he was always looking at us. Nothing good will happen if someone of such kind is
The Princess's malicious intent was obvious to me."Are the imperials always reckless and violent?"She wants to murder me because I saw her face? There has to be something going on."You massacred Count Forser, his sons and wife, and thousands of his warriors. You should have kept your head down in this situation, yet here you are, revealing your face at such a major auction. I'd want to question you: are you ignorant or confident?"Princess Arika was like an attraction at the moment, enticing all males to her.But her remarks simply served to sear my heart."Did you guess it?"Regardless of whether Princess Arika was trying to test me, she was successful."Are you, in fact, Baron Riel Alheim? The person responsible for flipping the entire southwest territory in a month. But don't imagine I'm as easy to intimidate as Count Forser."She smiled and exuded the carefree spirit of a young girl.Princess Arika would not definitively state that someone had penetrated his city and informed h
Life in the city has been uneventful for the last few days. The Baron had returned with a plethora of new food products and goods to assist them to get through the winter.He'd even instructed them how to preserve foods so they would last longer and not spoil.The city's construction has likewise never halted. There was no room for error with Jacob reviewing it and Mason in charge of guiding the building team.Wise had taken over the training of the men while I was away. He began recruiting hundreds of soldiers as soon as he arrived with the refugees.The majority of the men desired to be warriors, while the women desired to be farmers, even small children were in charge of catering daily meals to the citizens.Except for the Baron, no one was idle in Ice Demon City in this way."Fuck...Where in the hell is he?"I was frustrated inside my room.Since I returned, I had been looking for the guy who had been lurking about my city.But he constantly managed to elude my every approach. I h
"Stop!"The tone was neither hurried nor relaxed.Looking at the newcomer, General Yun scowled slightly."Who are you?"Despite the fact that the person was dressed in a shabby robe, General Yun could see the few fine details buried beneath the robe. His ability to discern people was one of his best qualities as a commander.In a world like this, if he offends someone who cannot be offended, his status as a general will not save him."I am a member of the Imperial Army. Is this General Yun? I'm hoping you'll let me have my say while keeping this city peaceful." Thirteen spoke softly.For someone like him, he'd rather just eliminate this invading platoon and be done with it. But it would have gotten the baron into trouble, so he had no alternative but to employ his wits.General Yun cocked his brow slightly. "Do we need your consent to destroy a city?" he asked coldly of Thirteen.Although he didn't want to insult the other side, he had no reason to be concerned because he was now acti
The entire Royal Cavalry was terrified, but they quickly remembered something written into the Empire's laws.A saint cannot intervene against an enemy who is not also a saint. It was a regulation that made the Saints hide in the dark so they wouldn't cause a commotion in the empire and do whatever they pleased.The royal cavalry understood the laws of the empire like the back of their hand.General Yun regarded Thirteen with trepidation. Although the empire's regulations state that Saints may not take action against weaker people, what if the opposing party isn't concerned with the empire's laws?In that case, his only option would be to accept death.Nonetheless, he summoned the bravery to inquire, "Honorable Saint, are you going to take action against us?"Every single member of the royal cavalry was holding their breath, waiting for the Saint's response. They didn't even question the Baron's claim that the individual was a saint.Thirteen stared at me, then turned to face General
