Chapter 124 - Adelaide's Ambitions
I didn’t have any pity for the older brother that colluded with Demon King though, as he was rotten long before he fell under the influence of the demon’s illusory magic. He was now jailed, with nothing to his name as his fate hung in the air. Adelaide had a cold expression as she talked about him, seemingly not caring the least bit if he lived or died.
"There were too many incompetent people in positions of power. With the miracles you continue to bring out, there are countless possibilities of moving forward."
Adelaide was becoming more and more straightforward as time passed, and she continued to talk about the huge project she wanted to undertake.
"Agriculture moves the world. No matter if it is powerful adventurers or the common people, food is the number one thing. They spend their days risking their lives or working odd jobs just to be able to have the next meal. Now, if we correctly play things with the Esteemed Sir in the lead, I...I..."
She seemed to be careful with the next words she wanted to say, as if she couldn’t pull them back once they were out. I found Adelaide doing something surprising again as lifted her dress, her knees touching the ground as the future Queen of the Frozen Kingdom bowed her head once again.
"I...can promise to not just deliver you a kingdom, but create for you an Empire."
The words were calm and clear as they left the red lips of the Princess. I looked towards this girl and continued to be surprised by her actions and plans, it wasn’t bad to have someone like this helping me out. I quickly moved to pull her body up as I just had not gotten used to someone this grand looking doing something as kneeling.
"All in due time, my Princess. Let me show you something first before we move out to the fields you’ve prepared."L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
The next thing I did after watching the light of ambition swirling in the eyes of this icy princess was to show her just how much bigger the possibilities were. Both of our figures flashed away as the appeared on the snowy earth of the Frozen Plateau Spiritual Land.
My commands were already sent to all the beasts in the Frozen Plateau about not harming a single hair on anyone that I brought in. The sleek [Emperor Penguin] that still had a trace of arrogance in his bones looked with interested eyes at Adelaide’s intrusion.
There was a lot of information for her to process as even grander ideas formed in her head about how to best use the [Sacred Rye] she just learned about. She was walking back and forth as she mumbled.
"Merchants and nobles would go crazy for something like this...If it is produced on a mass scale...can even start establishing trade routes with Mythical Kingdoms...ah, so much to do..."
The girl was completely in her own head as we continued to explore the Spiritual Land. I was glad to have someone like her taking care of many things in the background, as my knowledge so far was still that of a drop out college student.
The many memories I obtained from Gremory made me much more knowledgable, letting me see many paths that I could take in the future as time passed. I would be falsely boasting if I said I knew anything about running a country, not to mention a kingdom or an empire.
So while I experienced many things and learned more about the intricacies of power and worlds all around me, I would put some trust in this Princess I found in the Northern Lands of the Beast World.
My strengths lay in the spectacular cheat that was my nearly endless mana, as well as all the powerful things I continued to obtain and use to elevated levels because of it. The Spiritual Lands were just one of the treasures that was unique to the Beast World, and I still only had mine at Tier 2. There were many more tiers and mysteries for me to explore as time passed.
There were also many other unique treasures in the many worlds out there, and I felt the excitement just thinking what sorts of mystical things they held. I was thinking too far ahead though, as I was still just a LEGENDARY ranked individual in a small corner of the Beast World. I would progress rapidly but surely, and be sure to learn about even more secrets and mysteries of the fantastical things all around me.
Because of the memories of Gremory, I could already see the path ahead. While I was about to prepare to solve some of the crisis of food plaguing the Frozen Kingdom, I was also looking a few days or weeks into the future where I saw a huge incident occurring.
From the memories, I was now somewhat familiar with the mindsets of Demon Kings and Demon Lords. The demons would not sit still after a true death had just occurred, but they would also move carefully to try and understand why. So I didn’t expect to be swarmed with hordes of Demon Kings just yet.
The information I held told me that I would most likely be faced with another Demon King a few days or weeks from now, and I already had an inkling to which one it might be. A dangerous smile formed on my face as I walked through the spiritual land with the Princess while browsing through the memories of the identities of the Rulers of the Demon World and their unique and ultimate skills.
