Chapter 1: Imperial Construction Secret
“Yes, I do.”
Seo Yoon said while trembling since she was afraid of speaking. Weed considered the times she spoke and decided that, like him, she was interested in items. (She made him a friend to get her stuff back, married to get the benefits of the rings, etc.) He figured she was forcing herself to speak for the item, so he was being nice.
“Say no more. I understand.”
The last thing on the schedule was the wedding meal with the guests. Death Knight Van Hock and vampire Torido were also summoned to attend the meal and were asked to pack up the food. Weed was planning to eat the special food to reproduce the recipes to bring up his cooking skills!
Van Hock, Torido, Seo Yoon and the Golden Bird were walking around collecting food. Afterwards, the castle as well as the nobles and wizards inside scattered like smoke.
Ding!

After reading the message, Weed, Seo Yoon and the sculptured life-forms returned to the Inferno dungeon. A heartwarming smile appeared on Weed’s face. The wedding was very satisfying.
At the final stage of the difficult S-class quest, not far from where Kubicha died, the ground glittered. The sand was mixed with pieces of Goldman’s body.
Weed ordered the sculpture life-forms to search for the remnants and pick them up. There were some parts missing; it was not easy to recover all of what was lost. As Weed went to the Inferno Knight’s Circle, he still did not want to give up and tried to search for more remains. When he had almost given up in the chaotic battle with Kubicha, Goldman had rushed in and sacrificed his life to save Weed. Weed doubted Goldman could be restored to the way he was before, which saddened Seo Yoon and the other sculpture life-forms.
Ivan, the leader of the Inferno knights, approached and thanked them for helping to finish off Kubicha. Weed asked him what happened after Kubicha’s death. Weed was worried about his quest since he did not meet the requirements, but still received the items. Apparently, Ivan did not recognize that Weed was the Lich and dragon. He spoke of how the remaining Chaos Warriors had just wandered around, lost, since their leader died and they have been able to drive them out, with the help of the fire giants. Weed was trying to get more familiar with Ivan. Although he had suffered many hardships, Weed did not complain. Completing the quest and getting the rewards was more important.
The engraved circle, from the floor scale to the ceiling, ranged hundreds of meters. At the center of the circle, mana and fire expanded and contracted repeatedly. It resembled a blazing sun aura. Just getting close made the body hot and sweaty. Without the circle, Jigolaths would have sunk due to the volcanic eruptions. The Circle of Power, constructed by the Archmage Imbul, had some cracks made by Kubicha. The trapped mana and fire within was shaking, as if to escape. However, the circle was being repaired. After a while, the circle was whole once again, and pure, white flames burst out.
Ding!
| You have witness the Archmage Imbul’s Circle of Flame -Health increases by 900. -Resilience increases by 35. -Fire resistance increases permanently by 7%. Knowledge of the principles of creation of Mana deepens. But only for elemental shamans or summoners, and wizards otherwise it has no effect.

It was the effect of Imbul’s reconstructed Magic circle.
Subsequently, another message window appeared.
Ding!
| Red Star quest Completed (3) Kubicha of the Chaos warriors was killed and the dragon weapon was safely recovered. What happened to the dragon weapon in the end is unknown. For stopping this dispute, all of the races in Jigolaths can now enjoy peace and tranquility for a while. All of these adventures, completed by a mere engraver, can be regarded as a miracle.

A rise of 9 levels and an enormous increase in reputation.
Receiving a quest from a King is a big adventure. With the mysteries and legends of each kingdom, it certain for there to be adventures searching for treasure.
Weed could go to see the King of each kingdom of the continent and receive an audience.
“A quest to gather the people!”
From children to the elderly, they can be exploited.
Building the pyramid in Rosenheim Kingdom, he had received a similar request.
Not only to create a sculpture, a commission to lead a large-scale expedition or to stage a war against the Embinyu church.
“Whoa huhuhu”
He had also gained the Dragon’s Sword Red Star. Weed wondered when it could be used in battle, but anyway, to get to solve an S quest, he could not help that his lips drew into a peaceful smile.
If you fail to clear the quest somehow: it was a bad feeling.
“9 Levels … call stat window!”

With his hard work, Weed had steadily raised his stats and his level was close to 400.
Of course, a huge part of the experience was gained through completing quests.
“But the Power of the Undead, what sort of stat is it?”
He had noticed that he had unknowingly created an ominous stat.
“I have never seen this stat before on a message window.”
“Check stat, Power of the Undead.”
| Power of the Undead -It is generated automatically when in an undead state for a long time. -You cannot distribute stat points to this skill as it automatically increases as you gain experience as an undead. -The strength and the intelligence of the undead and the summon ability increases with the power of black magic. -For the good races however, it can cause side effects. -The “Power of the Undead” sometimes increases in stats rapidly with combat and sometimes decreases other stats to increase. -Elegance, charm, luck, faith and morality are vulnerable and a major resource. -The power of the Undead is overwhelmingly increased, if you stay in the undead stat for too long, you won’t be able to come back… |
He had received the Undead stat, but the stat has serious side effects.
“298, means it’s high-level enough to be concerned.”
The faith stat, because of the high level, was suppressed.
“I’ve never heard of this stat before.”
Royal Road, and the information related to it, has not made any mention of this stat.
I thought it was impossible an quest to finished…Weed sighed, turned towards Golden Bird and said,
“So…to found an empire, what do I have to do? Once you have created an empire, you get land and taxes and you can sell titles, like knights and nobles, eh?”
Weed was destroying the whole momentum!
Only interested in using the power to accumulate a lot of wealth!
However, with trouble, the Golden Bird explained.
“To found an empire, some necessary conditions need to be fulfilled.”
Weed, of course, thought as much.
“To be an Emperor, you need the recognition and the blessing of at least three of the founding gods.”
Freya’s church and Weed are closely related. Weed is already as close as possible with Alveron.
Also, establishing the faith in Mora can increase the degree of familiarity too.
As a Count, his reputation, comparable to others, is high, and fighting the denomination Church of Embinyu can help him gain friendship.
“I’ll be recognized by the gods. I want to be blessed with the birth of an empire.”
Freya’s blessing to create an empire! However, it was not the end of the requirements, as the Golden Bird continued.
“Several species in the northern part should be part of it. In order to create an empire, it should include at least five or more species. The user should also be able to choose them.”
“You must have a good reputation for nobles and knights to follow you. Fighting against monsters, solving quests and doing good deeds can reduce your notoriety.”
“To construct the vast territory of the empire, enough population is also needed.”
“200,000 people should be enough?” The population of Mora was that much.
“It should be at least ten million.”
“The people should be able to freely develop skills and hobbies, and many guilds need to be created. To keep away the monsters and fight against thieves, the number of soldiers should be increased too. ”
Weed furrowed his brow.
“In order to prevent the attack of monsters, some forts are needed right?”
“Of course.”
“The elite knights must exceed 500, and more than 30,000 heavily armed soldiers are also needed.”
“Necessary facilities should be created, and arts and cultural satisfaction should be high. Craftsmen techniques should be developed…”
Weed was making the face of a person that had received money just to have it stolen away.
If lost money does not come back, you know that a child will feel disappointment!
“Now, you’re not finished. There are more conditions, right?”
…
To build an Empire, there were also many mountains to climb. Weed simply concluded. Reality is cruel.
Weed came closer to Golden Bird.
“What’s going on?”
Weed was summoning Van Hawk and Torido.
“Van Hock and also Torido. Get ready to battle. ”
“Why? Isn’t the battle over?”
The Golden Bird asked him with a strange look.
“I will hit once. …. Guys, beat him up!”
Establishing a hierarchy and delivering commands are good ways to be absolute, but beating gives the best results!
“This is all I get… I’m disappointed, so disappointed.”
“I will not kill you.”
…
“We do not have time, let’s call it a day.”
Weed, after about 10 minutes of beating, stopped. Golden Bird had lost a considerable amount of vitality and dropped feathers here and there.
Decorative golden feathers: Durability 35/35
-Nobles covet these feathers!
-They are very difficult and rare to find.
-Can be traded for some semi-precious stones and, in-store, the owner of the store will welcome you with open arms.
Options: Grace and Charm rises proportionally. Sewing and blacksmith skills needed to make a product.
Weed, of course, put the fallen feathers into a backpack.
“Need to continue pulling some feathers to sell them.”
“Then, let’s go to other places.”
Spreading the underground map of Jigolaths, he wanted to make sure to go to that place.
To find the legendary material, “Helium.”
To increase his sculpture mastery, he had to go there.
“It is at the lowest place, in spite of being the center of Jigolaths.”
Weed was at the head. Seo Yoon and the others followed.
———-
“I guess he is here.”
At the end of a long search, the assassins and the thieves from the Hermes guild tracked Weed to a dungeon their group had never entered.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, definitely. This dungeon has already been explored.”
“The race war going on for a few days, all we needed was to get to the place?”
Drinpelt was the most professional there for exploring the dungeon.
“By watching TV and the wind movement, the dungeon is fairly deep.”
“Considering the disturbance of the monsters in the dungeon, it would take us three days.”
“From now on, go as fast as possible.”
The Helium mines were just a short stop on the way.
———-
Seo Yoon logged out of the Royal Road capsule and walked out.
Seo Yoon was afraid of going back to reality. It had been a long time since she had spoken to others except in Royal Road.
“But then again, I do not want to be alone…”
Back in Royal Road, she was comfortable with sharing a conversation with Weed.
Overcoming her fears, Seo Yoon opened her trembling lips to attempt to say something in reality. She called the dog given to her by Weed.
Dog Meat was having a nap. Then, he heard his name and woke up. Seo Yoon said his name again.
A beautiful master who gave him delicious food and a bed, was calling him. Dog Meat ran towards her wagging his tail.
