101 Despair in the sky.

The deal went very smoothly with the upgraded Magic Grenade launcher with the Orcs who had Zambe as their relay. You were in a hurry because you were on the front lawn of the war against the Yosrahim Empire, and the Magic Grenade launchers I presented outperformed the existing ones.

Thanks to this, the blueprints and 15,000 magical grenade launchers were sold out, and I received a total of four million Chaos pieces.

So I sold all the chaos pieces I had to Padilla for 1.6 million reefs.

Later, I repaid the 825,000 leaf I borrowed from Padilla to add essence to the 15,000 refined Magic Ammo Launcher, and paid 20,000 leaf for Zaube as an intermediary fee. So the money in my hand is like 755,000 leafs. With this one deal, I was able to earn enough money to play with my whole life. Theoretically, of course.

By the way.

“This is it.”

Sitting in front of the Magic Communication Station crystal shaft, I touched the Enhanced Magic Grenade launcher in front of Duke Brendel. I was nuanced to deny my relevance, especially emphasizing the vividly engraved maid, Calico, in the skull region.

The duc in the crystal ball carefully examines the upgraded Magic Shot Launcher.

“What is your performance? ”

“Catalog performance is intact. Usually I lie, but not this one. I think the Caligo Kingdom is determined and developed. ”

“So it's exactly as you said it would be? ”

“Yes. If you can't believe it, send someone. I'll give him a shooting demonstration. ”

I repeatedly removed the essence cartridge. It was an advantage of the improved Magical Launcher that essence exchange was possible.

“I see. But did you get your blueprints as well? ”

“Yes, I did. ”

The duc took a peek at me.

“How can you let me go? ”

“No. ”

The Duke was embarrassed by my profound refusal.

“Yes? But isn't that different from before? ”

“When did I say I'd let you go? I told you I'd contact you if you got the blueprints. Prepare yourself for the Empire. ”

Duke Brendel grunts a little, reminiscent of his previous conversation. I didn't say I would.

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“To be honest, I wanted to let you go, because our informant used the Yingyang Catholic girl network to save me. Shura's position will be embarrassed if I give her to you. Shra's home is the Calico Kingdom. ”

“I suppose it is. ”

“Anyway, you'd better hurry up and find a way. They've already taken 15,000 Orcs. ”

Duke Brendel's eyes widen.

“Really?"

“Yes. In this condition, I think the formula will be complete before the war. ”

“What to do · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Why? You think it's hard? ”

Duke Brendel looks embarrassed.

“War is next year, isn't it? How do you plan, develop and formulate until then? ”

“It's a bit of a rush. Then there's nothing I can do. Buy this blueprint. ”

“But you just said no. ”

I made a very poor face.

“My unborn child? And the Yosrahim Empire is the base of the Yin Yang Cult. When we're in trouble, we help each other out. Because that's bloodline.”

“Yes, it is. ”

“I need you to keep a secret from them. Let's just say the Yosrahim Empire Intelligence got the blueprints in advance. It's good to build an empire, and it's good that we're not in trouble. ”

“Of course. I'll take care of it. ”

I put my face in front of the crystal ball.

“Oh, and by the way, How about something other than cash for the blueprints? ”

“Something else? ”

“We need a transport ship these days. There's been a lot of construction going on lately, which is a big inconvenience to the income of materials. ”

“How many do you want? ”

“How many are there? You don't have any money to prepare for your war. How can I expect that? Let's just exchange ideas for ideas. ”

“What idea? ”

“Shipyard construction skills, large vessel construction skills, and a full workforce. ”

The big problem with Kara today is that her ship construction skills are significantly lower than those of other countries. Of course, it was possible to build small vessels of sailing class, but it was almost impossible to build vessels that would sail the oceans.

Of course, there are many vessels from the previous war in the Kingdom of Robos. But after a long time, everything had to be obsolete, so we needed to be prepared for that. Even in the age of destruction, if it remains like this, it will become chaotic. There's no escape to Jores Island.

However, it was the Yosrahim Empire that developed the most advanced ship building technology. Accepting their technology could greatly improve Kara's ship manufacturing capabilities.

Duke Brendel looks embarrassed.

“But the exchange is too much, isn't it? ”

“If the Kingdom of Bastein invades the sea in the future, there's nothing we can do about it. There won't be any ships by then. And honestly, if we can defeat the Kingdom of Bastein from behind, it would be good for the Yosrahim Empire, wouldn't it? Isn't that right?”

“It should be, but · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Are you serious? We're bloodthirsty. If things get tough with each other, we should help each other. Isn't that right?”

Duke Brendel has finished his tastes. However, now the worries about the Kingdom of Bastein have been greatly reduced thanks to Kara. Kara is aimed at a leader behind her, which is why she couldn't expand her territory with peace of mind.

However, when Kara's naval power disappears, this effect also disappears. It is because there is no way Kara can succeed the Kingdom of Bastein.

“Well, good. Very well, I'll give you that. ”

“Okay. Okay. ”

I smiled in mystery. I knew the Duke would get it. If this deal is cancelled, the Yosrahim Empire will have no way to fend off the powerful Orc army immediately, and you will have to worry about the future of the Kingdom of Bastein. I liked receiving national strategic prizes

But the real problem is me. I get nothing out of this deal.

But you can take it from Padilla. She considers the lack of shipbuilding technology in Kara to be of greatest concern. Kara's biggest obstacle to getting to the developed world was the lack of shipbuilding technology. In the process of exchanging two skills, I was able to touch a large amount of money as long as I made a good joke.

Soon after my deal with Duke Brendel, I contacted the Kingdom of Bastein. Duke Fabious appears on the crystal sphere.

“White face. What are you doing here? ”

“I just wanted to say hi. Our drinking buddy's kid? ”

“Don't be ridiculous. Why did you call me all of a sudden? ”

“It's not just the fortress, Josrahim, the Empire, the Caligo Kingdom, and the Orc children. Have you heard anything from them? This is serious. ”

I continued my long conversation with Duke Fabious. It's a very sensitive conversation that can make friendship between the two countries more urgent and more prosperous.

* * *

It was one of those days in the fall.

A young nobleman came to me while I was hanging out in my office. His name was the blonde Earl Rendal and he was the owner of an unnamed territory on the southwestern coast of the Cote Kingdom.

A small Cote Kingdom on the sidelines that has not stood out to the world history. The local Earl family is rarely treated even within the kingdom. A young Earl who became Lord not long ago and did not even take control of my authority in the proper territory.

The Earl was a nameless one, but I knew him very well.

Rendal was the last surviving place of humanity during the Apocalypse. Although I was killed first and did not see destruction, I was not far south-west from the place where I died, so I would have perished soon.

The Earl sits on the banquet hall chair, and I give him a warm hand. Rendal Land was the last place I would go and rely on if the island of Jores fell to the magical objects and the continent of Robos was nearly destroyed. It's good to be friendly now.

“Long · · · · · · · · · ·. Nice to meet you. I thought you said Earl Rendal. I've often heard of it. ”

Earl Rendal shakes his hand with a bright face.

“It's an honor, Mr. White Face. ”

“What an honor, by the way, Earl, you look quite fond of him. I feel something. ”

Earl Rendal tightened my waist even more because of my kind words. Even so, Earl Rendal was 16 years old and much younger than I was this year. I have Kara's queen as my lover, and I have made my face with the finest men on the continent, but the Earl was the closest countryside to the Unsullied.

“Thank you, Mr. White. ”

“What are you, just call me sir? ”

“Yes?”

“You don't look like a man. You're tall and handsome. He's going to be big enough to see cancer. Hahaha.”

Earl Rendal gives me a slightly embarrassing look. Favorable remarks are also suspicious if they continue to be left out for free.

But it was definitely true. In the last days of the Apocalypse, Earl Rendal stands as the most powerful man in the world. Just for a little while, but anyway.

Moreover, Rendal territory was situated on the southern coast of Prosia, on a bending corner to the west coast. Therefore, it could be seen as occupying a rather important position in the emerging age of the Naval War. It's usually best to have a corner of land.

Rendal territory was a cornered land in the time of land trade, but I made it a big place as the oceans opened.

“Oh, yes · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Armida walked to me. My sister has never seen me compliment anyone before.

“Brother, do you know him? ”

“I don't know anyone, but I've been paying attention. He's quite a promising young nobleman. ”

“Really?"

Earl Rendal shakes his hand.

“No, I just got into the Earl. ”

I intercepted the Earl's words and shrugged.

“Don't be so modest. People are so modest, but it's not good to see. ”

“But · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Soon I'll be a noun. I guarantee it.”

“Oh, yes · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I brought preaching to the Prosia continent and spread it out on the table.

“Then this is a good spot. ”

Earl Rendal stares at me with a sudden look.

“What's that? ”

“Aren't you here to ask for advice and investment in port construction? ”

“No, I'm not.”

I rolled my eyes. Then I don't know why he came to see me.

The most pressing task of Rendal's current territory was to provide a resting port for ships headed to the west coast of the continent. Then Rendal territory will have great wealth.

“Then why are you here? ”

“Actually, a magic object appeared on our territory. ”

“Magic. We could hire mercenaries to do that, right? ”

“I hired some mercenaries, but they all failed. ”

“What kind of magic? ”

“I don't know.”

I tilted my head.

“Why? Didn't you teach me what the mercenaries on the quest were for? ”

“They've been wiped out. ”

“Every last one of them? ”

“Yes.”

“How many mercenaries did you send in total? ”

“A group of 100, 200, 300 and 600 mercenaries. ”

That means 1,200 mercenaries in total. All of these numbers are dead? If so, the opposing Pokémon is not just any magic.

Mercenaries are a special list of hunting things. It doesn't make sense that every single one of them died.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, ask the Mercenary Alliance Guild. It's a pretty well-known case there. ”

“Do you have any other witnesses? ”

“Yes, nothing. They're all dead.”

“But how do you know it's magic? ”

“Several of the victims left messages as they were dying. ”

Armida sat next to me.

“Sister, it's not your usual job, is it? ”

“Yes.”

“But what kind of magic? ”

I thought about it, and then I said something.

“Flying magic. Land magic has a speed limit, so you can't kill them all. Someone has to come back alive. So it has to be flying horses. ”

“What kind of flying magic? ”

“Fast guy. No matter how many flying creatures fly in the sky, they can't be wiped clean enough to leave no witnesses. ”

Armida nods. She had a knack for hunting magic objects, though she didn't know anything else. Most of them have done just that since the birth of the human civilization.

One of the most important tasks of the Valkyrie is to capture powerful creatures that threaten the survival of humanity.

“I don't think so. And quite strong, isn't it? The mercenaries would have defeated me if I was weak enough. ”

“Yes, that's right. Plus, it's small. ”

Armida asked me a question.

“How do you know it's a small size? ”

“Rendal territory is hot and rainy, so there are lots of dense forests. Then no matter how fast and strong the big one is, he can't kill all the mercenaries. If mercenaries hide in the woods, there's no way. ”

Armida's sister quietly snapped her chin.

“Mmm-hmm. Really? But did you have that magic? ”

“Uh, there is one. ”

“What guy? ”

“Sky Despair. He's called Sky Despair. It's the size of a big falcon. It's unbelievably strong. ”

I squirmed one eye, mentioning its name.

Armida smiled as if she had no idea.

“But I've never heard of such a thing. ”

“Of course I don't know. I built it.”

“You? Why? ”

“I'm the only one who saw it. ”

“Yes? Then why did you name it so harshly? ”

“I'm the only one who saw it. ”

“Huh?"

“You just heard from the Earl, right? Everyone who faced him is dead. Except me."

Armida asks me, as I stand up tightly with the pommel of Joe's blade.

“Strong?”

“Well, it won't be easy for you to be sure. ”

Armida opens her eyes to say it's ridiculous.

“Why?”

“Hurry up, sleepy. ”

“How long? ”

“The dead don't even know why they're dead. I can only hear him coming after he's dead. ”

Sky Despair was neither a hazard nor a well-defined horse. Though I've seen it, I can't even tell you how strong it is to run away without a thumb.

“So what are you going to do? ”

Armida asked, and I grabbed the sack of her blade tightly.

This guy is too dangerous. We must know how to hunt him. In the Age of Doom, there were very few of him, but not one or two of the castles that were destroyed by him. If you don't know how to hunt effectively now, go to the Age of Destruction and suffer.

Especially when he rises on Jores Island. There's no way to stop it.

Therefore, we should deal with Armida when there is a strong ally. In the Age of Doom, it is too dangerous to capture him with layers of magic surrounded by layers.

Besides, I've been planning to publish a book on witchcraft and how to hunt for the future. Adding him here was good in many ways. Humans will be able to deal with Sky Despair more effectively in the future.

“Let's go. It's a minimum commission of 10,000. Plus, if you catch it, it's a pretty good shot. ”
