SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 144

Corrupted Collusion (3)

“Women have no choice but to change their minds.”

The primary demand is the nobility.

For NPCs, although it is only effective for skin regeneration and skin beautification, there are many ladies and gentlemen who will pay large sums of money just for it because it is moist and supple like baby skin.

Then users. A similar effect is applied to the user, but one special function is applied.

“Because plastic surgery is impossible here.”

That was ‘casting’.

When you use a beauty potion, a window appears where you can select a changed appearance along with the skin improvement effect, and it is possible to create a near-perfect face by repeating this several times.

Yes, it was just a face in The Road, but there would be plenty of people who would pay a huge amount for that alone.

For women in the game, beauty is power in itself. It’s okay, shouldn’t we meet in real life?

In a previous life, there were people who cheated after getting plastic surgery with this beauty potion, but Rokhan didn’t have to worry about that.

“There are limits to customization.”

Even in the customizing stage of creating the character for the first time, some modifications were possible, but it was closer to modifying the body shape than the appearance.

Even here, the main version is unavoidable, at least until now.

But from now on, it would be different. You will be able to modify the style you want through the beauty potion.

‘Are men an exception?’

And if only female users care about their appearance, the price of beauty potions would be expensive, but I could guarantee that the demand would be certain.

In addition, in the case of users, it was difficult to see the proper effect with only one beauty potion, so all that was left was to sweep the money.

“Study the mass production of beauty potions.”

It could be a bit risky to leave those who touched the corrupted powers, and those who knew the wealth of Count Astape, but Rokhan knew it would be a fetter that would entangle them.

Although he did not directly acquire the corrupted power, even if only the research on it is known, it is impossible to guarantee their lives, as well as the lives of their family, relatives, and acquaintances.

So, instead of getting rid of them, Rokhan chose to pay a reasonable fee and let the research continue.

However, he put all unnecessary research aside and made him focus only on the production of beauty potions.

The day this is mass-produced, The Road’s economy will fluctuate once again.

“The time has come for the news to come… … .”

After finishing the internal affairs management, Lokan waited for something.

The day before the trial, which was directly supervised by the emperor, some news was likely to be heard.

“Come.”

After waiting for such a long time, one side of his vision lit up. Each time, a “letter” that could not be physically delivered came.

[Count Astafel died in the dungeon. Suicide presumed.]

“Suicide is so bad.”

The content was simple.Count Astafel’s death while imprisoned in a dungeon.

There were no signs of intrusion from the outside, so it was presumed to be a suicide.

But it was an unreasonable request for Lokan to believe it.

If a human with such a strong desire for life committed suicide, it was no different from that Lokan was anemic.

“It must be one of three.”

But Lokan wasn’t agitated at all. He nodded his head, as if he knew from the beginning, and opened his book again.

He noticed the three names on it.

“The first person to contact me is probably the culprit.”

One of them will now move. intimidation or intimidation. As far as Rokhan knows, his body is itching and he can’t stand it.

So, Lokan had to sit still and wait.

“Enhance security. Security staffing.”

Of course, he had no intention of meeting Horak Horak. I’ll have to make it a little more worn out.

For this reason, Lokan additionally deployed security personnel to his territories and changed the territories to a policing center. You can express your intention to exchange through a formal envoy, or send personnel who are good at infiltrating, but if you cover the security range with the quantity, even high-level thieves will not be able to approach you recklessly.

If he struggles like that, he’ll bet on a bit more blatant or drastic.

“I’m going to have to build my body again.”

After finishing all the treatment, Rokhan got up. The other estates will be able to roll on their own if you leave it as it is, so now it’s your turn to take care of yourself.

As much as he had done, he had to be strong enough to handle it.

‘First of all, from the master level.’

Lokan saw that minimal line as a master level.

There is a high master level above that, and a grand master above that, but once you get the master level, you can do quite a lot of things.

At least on this continent.

“Return to the Territory.”

Rokhan once returned to his main estate, Regalia, using the lord’s own authority, Return to the Territory.

He had been away for quite some time, but no one ignored him or treated him coldly.

It wasn’t just because of the fear of the lord’s authority and nobility, but because of Lokan’s huge financial support instead of vacating his seat.

The welfare of the residents and soldiers has increased, and although it is a small amount, it is natural to supply dwarven weapons to the knights, which increases morale and achieves higher performance than before.

[You have obtained merit 4.][You have earned 6 merit.]

The achievement was, of course, the result of the battle with the Black Dragonflight camp. What other achievements can be achieved in this area of ​​conflict?

The number coming in at once was similar to the previous one, but it was acquiring merit more quickly.

Usually, this skill is reinvested to purchase equipment, increase knights and soldiers, or deploy siege weapons, but Lokan ended it all with a cash headbutt.

Therefore, merits were accumulated one by one without wasting and has already reached a considerable level.

‘There is no need to use the merit degree already.’

However, he still had no intention of using the Gonghundo. It could be beaten with money, and there were many places where merit could be used splendidly, including the rise of the title in the future.

So, instead of managing the estate, Rokhan looked for Osram, the Master of the Iron Wall.

“Are you here, my lord?”

Osram’s complexion was much better than before. Although the supply was good, it was much easier to block the enemy’s attack thanks to the large number of siege weapons that were advantageous to the Mercury.

Although this territory of Regalia is a disputed area, it was a position where defending was much more than attacking, so it was a situation quite different from before, when it was impossible to take a break by squeezing a tight force and somehow block it.

Of course, even if it is, it is possible to defend it because of OSRAM, and if it were not for him and his knights, he might have invested twice as much money.

“I haven’t been paying attention for a while. How is the situation?”

“Thanks to the consideration of the Lord, I have improved a lot. Soldiers and knights also had enough time to rest on their turn, and he was allowed to spend reconnaissance with Mercury. Of course, the sacrifice of the troops also decreased. All thanks to the Lord.”

It felt like a piece of your heart was pricked at Osram, who was so happy and turned all the balls to him, but Rokhan quietly nodded his head. And he opened his mouth again. Because I didn’t come here to receive such a public service.

“Then it’s time to counterattack.”

“counterattack… … do you mean?”

Osram was puzzled, but his eyes twinkled. Even though he had the great ability of being a high master, he was busy with defense and couldn’t use his power properly, so he had no choice but to be interested.

From the Master’s level, he possessed power comparable to that of a strategic weapon, so his body was itchy.

“From now on, we will hit our enemies in reverse. Sometimes there is a very good opportunity.”

“What kind of opportunity?”

“that… … .”

After a moment’s rest, Rokhan revealed his plans in a low voice. And he saw the little longing in Osram’s eyes.

* * *

The camp of the Black Dragonflight, Sanuha Youngji.

This was a very peculiar situation.

Even in the Black Dragonflight camp, it could be said that it was quite out of the outskirts, but the flag planted here was from the Golden Lion camp, especially the human race.

After being swept away by the Corruption Wave once, it was one of the places Lokan occupied and robbed.

Some of these places were presented to the emperor and filled with human occupation forces, but some areas, including Sanuha, were difficult to defend due to the geographical characteristics, so only basic defense forces existed, and no special preparations were made.

Of course, that alone was a defense that users could not touch.

There are still only a handful of users who can compete one-on-one with a single guard, so how can they dare to invade?

But that didn’t just leave him alone.

“This is an opportunity. If you succeed in this, you will also receive a title! So, everyone, be careful not to make a mistake and do all you can to support the knights rather than direct combat!”

One of the top guilds lured the nobles of their tribe to support his troops. After making a firm promise to retake Sanuha without fail.

It was still too early for users to rub, but the nobles did not believe them either.

He believed that he would be able to easily recapture the Sanuha territory, which was only a shell, if he had received support from his own private and racial level, so he allowed it and just gave up the quest.

“Corsair! Advance through the gates!”

“Sweep them all away!”Is it because of that? Having already secured enough power, they attempted to enter directly without any special operations.

Although there were guards who occasionally shoot bows on the wall, he was confident that he would be able to sweep them away overwhelmingly in terms of quantity and quality.

“Slaughter the guards! The recapture team is going to Yeongjuseong with me!”

And the calculation was almost right.

Raising the shield overhead, the entire base was able to enter the city without any damage, and a battle with the guards ensued.

It was a problem that the guards continued to respawn because of the presence of users, but that became meaningless due to the overwhelming difference in troops.

Those who received the quest started running to the lord’s castle to evade the guards and retake the base.

“What is that?”

“Destroy it!”

And I ran into someone standing guarding the entrance to the castle.

“Come on, this is my first time playing with fireworks.”

Kwok.

Maybe he ran too far ahead because of his excitement? While the users who had no confidence to deal with the guards hesitated for a moment, the being blocking the entrance pulled out a certain button and pressed it.

Kuwagwagwagwang!

The fireworks show started with him.

Bombs buried all over the city exploded, and poison potions and explosive potions piled up on one side created a chain reaction, creating hell.

“crazy!”

“What is this… … !”

Kurreung.

Even the walls have collapsed.

Huge rubble piled up and all the gates collapsed. There was no entrance or exit to be found.

“Things that neither die nor live. I will send you to where you should go.”

Kwawagwagwang!

inside the city. A figure fell among the soldiers who were bewildered by the unknown explosion.

High Master OSRAM.

Although he was given the modifier “Master of the Iron Wall”, that didn’t mean he was just defensive. It’s just a nickname given to a stronghold by blocking a stronghold that has no choice but to be pushed back by personal force.

And that true force was being demonstrated here and now.

Thousands of soldiers were sent confidently to retake, but they were nothing more than scarecrows, let alone a High Master.

“Are you going to keep having a snowball fight?”

The same goes for the lord’s castle where Rokhan is. The moment he recognized that OSRAM had started with an additional binge, Lokan also had a boost. They started a ‘defense war’ against those who were trying to retake.
