    Chapter 59

    Episode 59

    For reference, the total price of all the supplies Chris talked about is as follows:

    One million rupees.

    It was an amount that could buy several mansions even in a large castle like Barron’s Castle.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    Ruina immediately prepared the items Chris had mentioned.

    As expected from the owner of an auction house, his speed was lightning fast.

    Ruina said, gritting her teeth.

    “…If the story that a major disaster will occur in this scramble is not true, I will charge you the full amount!”

    Chris shrugged.

    ‘Why is it to this extent? This is only the beginning.’

    Ruina could not have imagined it, but their relationship was only just beginning.

    From now on, she will serve as his money bag faithfully. If he doesn’t want to go bankrupt.

    ‘Don’t feel wronged. It’s like a tax.’

    Just like paying taxes to the military that originally protected you.

    I figured Chris’s job going forward was to protect her top, so he was paying a fair price.

    ‘I still have a lot of work to do, though.’

    Chris thought about the events that would happen next.

    The terrible disaster of the Gold Cross.

    The conflict between the Poisonous Maga and the Dark Maga.

    Jinrok’s change.

    Death of Noh Ga-ju.

    The rampage of the destruction magma.

    The conspiracy of the Demon King of Cheongryu, etc.

    These are the things that will happen in the Southern Magic Kingdom within the next few years. Just to name a few of the major ones, here they are.

    Only by stopping all of these things could we prevent World War I from breaking out against the Four Kings.

    The worst part is that this isn’t the end.

    Eventually, he had to reach the top of the Magic Empire.

    ‘Hey, why on earth am I having such a hard time?’

    I suddenly felt lost and let out a sigh.

    ‘This is the kind of suffering a warrior should have done! Why on earth did I regress in his place?! Damn it.’

    The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

    ‘I can’t be the only one who gets treated unfairly. Someday, I will meet all of you warriors again and make you work until you die.’

    Although they are still active only within the Magic Empire.

    There was a lot of work to be done on the Union side as well.

    At that time, I planned to find Evan and his group of warriors and use them against them.

    Especially warrior Evan!

    He was the number one candidate to be exploited the most.

    ‘Just meet me and I’ll treat you like a vicious boss.’

    That’s all for my leisurely thoughts.

    When I returned to the mansion, there were sharp mines lined up.

    The number is 30.

    At the front stood a girl with a familiar, cold expression, Jupienne.

    It was an expedition heading towards neutral territory.

    “…….”

    Jupienne glared at him silently.

    A look that asks, “What have you been doing? Why are you here now?”

    “Ah, I was playing so much that I’m late.”

    The minions next to Jupien frowned at the careless response.

    Chris, who had been playing around in the castle before an important mission, couldn’t have looked good.

    Anyway, Chris smirked and yawned.

    “You’ve had too much fun, I’m tired. I’ll sleep in the supply wagon and follow you. Is that okay?”

    “!!”

    The mines glared at that crazy sound.

    Jupienne’s gaze also became more fierce.

    “No, my lord. No matter what, that is….”

    At that moment, Jupien raised his hand.

    “it’s okay.”

    “But, Your Majesty?”

    “Just don’t worry about what he does or doesn’t do.”

    Jupienne said coldly.

    In fact, after the brief duel the other day, Jupienne briefly saw Christian again.

    Because it was a great talent and skill.

    Of course, if she had used her long-term swordsmanship properly, she wouldn’t have lost so easily. Still, I had to admit what I had to admit.

    Although he had a bad relationship with his younger brother, Jupien wasn’t the worst person who couldn’t tell right from wrong like the old man. He knew how to recognize the strong.

    But while I was preparing to go on a mission, you were playing around in the castle like a punk and then you came back and you’re acting like that again.

    The disgust flared up again.

    ‘A guy like that doesn’t deserve to be the son of the main family.’

    Jupienne decided to leave Christian alone.

    In any case, if he did not faithfully carry out his mission and did not achieve any merit, it would only be Christian who would suffer.

    “…depart.”

    Jupienne chanted and the horse ran.

    The wagon carrying supplies also started to run, and Chris smiled faintly as he lay down in the wagon.

    ‘It’s comfortable to lie down and go.’

    Chris thought to himself.

    ‘Of course it will be difficult from now on.’

    I didn’t lie down in the wagon just to be comfortable.

    There was a reason.

    ‘I want everyone to know that I’m grateful.’

    Originally, this expedition was destined to be annihilated.

    To prevent that disaster, we had to catch everyone off guard. We had to fool even our own forces.

    It was the beginning of an operation.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    The Dark Maga ruled over a vast realm.

    The same was true for the poisonous Maga.

    It was larger than an average small country.

    They were dividing the areas into borders, but the problem was that there were places where it was difficult to clearly distinguish between areas, such as forests, magic zones, and mountainous regions, and conflicts would break out as each side claimed ownership.

    As damage accumulated, such areas were declared neutral zones.

    This time, the relic appeared in one of those neutral zones, the Biskin Mountains.

    A magical realm where high-level monsters appear.

    As they neared their destination, Jupienne gave a warning.

    “Individual action is absolutely prohibited. Teams of at least three people are required.”

    It was an order given because powerful monsters of level 4 or higher often appeared.

    “Yes, I understand, Your Majesty!”

    “But what should we do with Master Christian’s wife?”

    Jupienne frowned.

    Christian was still lying in the wagon.

    “…Leave that piece of trash alone.”

    It was while I was preparing for the exploration.

    Far ahead, a cloud of words rose.

    They were minions wearing dark blue clothes with a hint of black!

    “These are the minds of the poisonous Maga!”

    From the front, the intelligent and proud impressionable girl, Princess Marisa of the Poisonous Maga, approached us.

    “You’re right on time for our appointment. My name is Marisa.”

    “I’m Jupien.”

    “I think you’ve heard the rules.”

    Relics are objects imbued with the power of constellations and demons. They are called holy relics and demon relics, respectively.

    It had great power and every time it appeared, a storm would blow.

    The worst is when it appears on the border between giant powers, as it does now.

    Beyond simply coveting relics, it becomes a matter of mutual pride. It is not uncommon for bloodshed to culminate in war.

    Originally, this situation would have happened as well, but they decided to have a competition-like match to prevent unnecessary bleeding between each other.

    However, to avoid any future noise, we have set completely fair rules.

    “It is prohibited to dig traps or intentionally attack opponents while exploring.”

    A regulation that is overly fair and just(?) for a mine.

    But since it was mine, such regulations were necessary.

    Otherwise, both sides will focus on killing each other rather than finding the relic.

    “okay.”

    “…You speak briefly.”

    “Aren’t you our enemy? Tell me what you’re talking about?”

    “…No. There’s no need for that.”

    Marisa also lowered her voice neatly.

    “Then that’s it.”

    As she was about to turn back, Marisa hesitated for a moment.

    Marisa looked around the Dark Maga mines for a moment, as if looking for someone.

    Just then, Christian got up from the wagon and yawned.

    Anyone who sees it will see that it’s a pathetic sight after waking up from sleep.

    Marisa kept her mouth shut.

    And then.

    “…joy.”

    Marisa returned to her camp with the characters of the poisonous Mark.

    Now the competition was about to begin.

    Jupienne spoke to the Dark Magi.

    “I’m going to start exploring. Just follow my instructions.”

    Jupienne gave instructions.

    Each person should form a group and stay within a certain range, and if they encounter an unmanageable monster, they should immediately request rescue.

    No one knows where the relic is in the Demon Realm.

    I just ‘detected’ that it had appeared somewhere in this mountain range.

    So, it won’t work if you just move hastily.

    If you act impatiently for no reason, you will only end up with victims.

    Above all, this magical realm was too vast and dangerous to move around rashly.

    The standard way was to calmly decide on an area and search it thoroughly one by one.

    Then Christian got up from the cart and yawned as he approached Jupienne.

    “Can I go alone?”

    “…what?”

    “When will you ever be able to crawl through the mountains like that, moving like a snail?”

    Jupienne’s eyebrows twitched.

    She originally had bad feelings toward Christian.

    But from the first time we met until now, he has been endlessly provoking her feelings.

    “…You really.”

    “I’m saying this because I’m frustrated. If I follow the princess’s slow instructions and lose the relic, it’ll be a big problem.”

    Jupien’s eyebrows trembled in anger.

    But Jupienne didn’t hold out her sword like before.

    I endured it because it would be unwise to cause chaos before a mission.

    “Do whatever you want. But.”

    Jupienne said coldly.

    “Even if you meet a powerful monster, don’t expect rescue.”

    A look in his eyes as if he was looking at trash.

    Chris shrugged.

    ‘I’m completely hated. Oh, I was hated to begin with, so does that matter?’

    In fact, it was even better.

    His ‘operation’ required him to be completely free to move around, out of sight of everyone.

    “Good. Then I will leave this behind since I don’t need it.”

    Chris threw a small crystal ball onto the floor.

    It was a magical tool that allowed them to know each other’s location in case of a crisis, but it was thrown away.

    Now, the expedition team, including Jupien, can no longer track Chris’s location.

    “Then, thank you for your hard work.”

    Pfft!

    Chris ran into the mountains alone.

    “That crazy guy…? Is that okay? How dangerous is this place, the Demon Realm?”

    “Aren’t you coming back as a corpse?”

    The mines were roaring.

    There was also conflict in Jupiendo.

    Can we just leave Christian like that?

    But Christian had already disappeared into the mountains.

    Jupienne bit her lips and looked in the direction where Christian had disappeared.

    * ? ?* ? ? *

    But Christian was in no danger at all.

    ‘Why do you encounter monsters? Just avoid them.’

    Chris had been to all kinds of magical places in the world with his party of warriors.

    He had a thorough understanding of the general characteristics of the demons and how to avoid encounters with them.

    In particular, this place is a neutral zone between the two families.

    Since it was clearly known what kind of demons were appearing, avoiding them was easy.

    ‘We have to move quickly or we’ll be late.’

    Marquis Langham’s conspiracy had already begun.

    As I was walking hurriedly, I encountered an unexpected person.

    “…Christian.”

    It was Marisa!

    She opened her eyes wide and looked at Chris.

    ‘this.’

    I’m in a hurry, and I met an unwelcome person.

    ‘If she’s my ex-fiancée, then she’s a stranger who doesn’t matter to me anymore. Let’s ignore her and not worry about her.’

    As we were going our separate ways without talking, something unexpected happened.

    Pfft!

    Black poison has come flying in!

    In the direction Chris was heading.

    I stopped walking abruptly, and the squeak and poison melted the floor.

    “…What are you doing?”

    “I have something to talk to you about.”

    Chris frowned.

    It wasn’t a coincidence that we met.

    He noticed that Marisa had come to see him on purpose.

    ‘Why is it like this?’
