Chapter 118
Chapter 118 . The coming Lord Meetings . (Pt . 1)As Kang Chul-In arrived at the central plaza, he could see a lot of people crowded there .
Why are they all here at this time of day?
He didn’t understand .
It was 8 p . m at night, and since it was winter, it was pitch black outside .
Unlike Earth, since the Pangaeans lacked technology, they usually all went home by the time the sun fell . It was extremely strange that everyone was outside like this .
Bambababam babam Bababam!
Kang Chul-In could hear music that sounded somewhat familiar to him .
Babam!
-You suck!
Babam!
-You suck!
It was music from the TV program that the civilians were watching, WWL (World Wrestling League) . With the music, a pro wrestler, Scott Angle, showed up .
“Booooo!”
“Get lost! Stupid baldie!”
“Get out of there!”
“Let’s go! John Michaels! Beat him up!”
The majority of the male citizens started cheering .
Don’t tell me…
To confirm his thoughts, Kang Chul-In made his way through the crowd to see what the citizens were looking at .
“Ah, milord!”
“Is that milord?!”
Realizing that Kang Chul-In was there, the citizens split apart to give room for Kang Chul-In . It was as if Moses was splitting the red sea again .
“What the…”
Confirming his thoughts, Kang Chul-In muttered in astonishment .
There, he could see a huge screen that projected and broadcast wrestling matches from Earth .
Or to be exact it wasn’t a screen, nor was it being broadcast .
What Kang Chul-In had thought was a screen was actually marble that was so clean that it seemed like a screen, and a simple looking machine from far away was shooting a beam at the marble, acting as a projector .
“Father~”
Spotting Kang Chul-In, Arshelly ran towards him, and hugged him .
“You’re busy nowadays, right father?”
“I’m alright . But what is all this?”
“Oh…”
Arshelly looked at Kang Chul-In, trying to guess what his thoughts on this were .
“Uhh… I wanted to give a source of recreation for the citizens… and this was one of the options that I thought of…”
“Haha…”
Kang Chul-In opened his mouth in astonishment at Arshelly’s words . “Father… I’m sorry if you’re angry…”
“No, daughter . ”
Kang Chul-In shook his head .
“You’ve done a very good job . ”
“R-Really?”
“As expected of my daughter . ”
“ . . . . . !”
“I’m proud of you . ”
As Kang Chul-In complimented her while stroking her hair, Arshelly couldn’t help but smile happily .
The sight was so lovely, that Kang Chul-In wondered if this was why others raised their daughters .
“But… how is this even possible? I thought that nothing from Earth could be brought to Pangaea except pure gold?”
“They’re from my memories, father . ”
“Your memories?”
“This is done by using memories in which I watched TV, and putting it inside this magic gem . With the help of the Magic Engineers, I was able to make it in such a big scale . ”
Though it was a great idea, it was also a very difficult one to actually carry out . If not for Arshelly’s god-gifted magical abilities, one wouldn’t be able to even dream of things like this .
She’s my daughter, but… she’s brilliant .
Kang Chul-In looked at Arshelly as if he was looking at a precious doll .
A kind daughter .
A kind granddaughter .
Smart, kind princess of the Laputa territory .
There wasn’t a single thing about Arshelly that wasn’t perfect .
“Kuu… Milord, you do have a fine daughter . I’m jealous! If I marry in the future, I hope that I’ll be able to get a daughter such as Arshelly too…”
Kwak-Jung said from aside, truly envious of Kang Chul-In . It was at that moment .
[You have gained 100 Lord Points!]
[The stat: ‘Internal Affairs’ has risen from E- to B- . ]
His Lord Points experienced a sharp rise, and so did his stat ‘Internal Affairs’ . He had gone from being a complete beginner in terms of this, to at least being somewhat experienced .
[You will gain a reward for overcoming an incredibly weak stat!]
As a message that Kang Chul-In had never seen before popped out, he narrowed his eyes .
Overcoming a weak stat… apparently a bonus was given for this .
[You have received the item: ‘master of signing’!]
An incredibly peculiar item was given to him .
[Unique]: Master of Signing
One who sits upon the throne, withstand the pressure of documents!
-Item from the Ancient Kingdom
-Requirements: Lord
-Type: Pen
-Option 1: Documents Scanning speed +30%
-Option 2: Signing Speed +80%
-Option 3: Infinite Ink (ink is not required for this pen)
“ . . . Do these people really want me to die while looking through these documents or something?”
Angered, Kang Chul-In almost broke the item he had been given, but stopped .
months later .
Inside a particular forest in the Southern Ishtar region, Dorian was wandering through a fog-filled area .
During this time, Jackpot (Dorian’s pet) started to whine .
“Jack?”
Whine~
“This guy… what’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
It was strange .
Though Jackpot was a dog pet who lacked even a bit of fighting strength, he was still one to have a lot of courage and stamina to go through dungeons . It was very rare and strange to see him scared like this .
And his specialty, path-finding, was also not of use in this fog-filled area .
Thanks to this, Dorian was stuck in here for over 2 weeks . With his slowly dropping supplies, Dorian was starting to grow tired .
“Come on, Jack . ”
Whine~
Though Dorian tried to cheer Jack up, Jackpot seemed to be very scared, whining again .
Why is he… I mean, the fog here is a little too thick . Night and day, we can’t even see past 5 meters .
Even Dorian was getting impatient .
As a member of the famed British Special Forces, he had gone through all sorts of situations . But everything that he had learned thus far didn’t seem to work in this forest . Not only was he unable to see which direction the sun rose from, he was unable to find North, West, South, and East . It was as if he was back in the Bermuda Triangle .
“Sigh… it seems like it will truly be annoying to get out of here . ”
Dorian muttered .
At that moment!
Dding!
A message popped up in front of him .
[Alarm] Message for the coming Lord Meetings! (D-50)
It was about the coming Lord Meetings .
“Hmm? Well, I’m not interested in those… Agh!”
Dorian screamed .
-------
At the same time .
“Finally…”
Within the Laputa territory, Kang Chul-In also received an alarm about the coming Lord Meetings .
“Not bad . ”
Standing on the highest part of Laputa, Kang Chul-In took a look at the improvements that they had made over the last 10 months, and smiled .
The winter had gone, and spring had come .
The clean facilities, the energetic citizens, and the constant flow of adventurers . The state of the territory was great .
Not only that . Though the construction of the new city began in the middle of the harsh winter, the basic structure was already done . Though it was still far from being complete, it was enough for Kang Chul-In to decide to move the Laputa territory to the Ishtar region .
“I’ll see you again, Rothschild . ”
Kang Chul-In’s eyes shone .
The Lord Meetings .
This was an event that all Lords were forced to take part in, no matter what .
Unless one died, or lost their place as a Lord, or ran away to Earth, they would be forced to take part . That meant that Alex Rothschild, who had run away with his tail between his legs would also be there .
“I’ve prepared a present for you, Rothschild . ”
Kang Chul-In smirked .
It made him joyous just imagining what would happen with his ‘gift’ .
Through this particular gift, Kang Chul-In was prepared to give Alex Rothschild an absolute hell of a time there, destroying his ‘kind’ image .
… All that was left was to publicly humiliate him .
