Chapter 1. Natural disasters - coming?!)(1/2)
Late at night, the Lord's Mansion of the Grey Moon Fortress.
"Master Simon, please use it."
The maid with a childish face served tea, her eyes flashed with glory and looked at the handsome young man in front of her.
Simon Ed.
This young man is known as the Morning Star of the Empire. With his humorous and interesting conversation and intelligent mind, countless nobles and socialites were fascinated by it.
Of course, none of these are the main ones.
The most important thing is that Simon is rich.
Very rich!
As the successor of the Ed family with a high power, Simon can even make Locarens, known as the Sanctuary of the Earth, fall into a rain of gold coins as long as Simon is willing.
Simon has now been promoted to the lord of the Gray Moon Fortress. As the youngest lord in the empire, there is no problem saying that he has a bright future.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the nobles and socialites in the imperial capital often ogled him.
But it was just such a Lord Simon who had no worries about sorrow, but now he looked worried and sighed twice from time to time.
Looking at the master's appearance, the maid sighed in her heart.
This is no wonder.
Recently, news has been heard from the imperial capital that some old witches have passed the level and headed straight to the Gray Moon Fortress.
And these fanatical witch cultists naturally have only one purpose-
Attacked and killed the Lord of the Grey Moon Fortress who had just succeeded to the throne for one month.
As a strong backing of the empire, Simon Ed is also an extremely devout believer of the Earth Mother God. It is rumored that the old witch who fell into his hands and feet were either cut off by his hands and feet or his internal organs were hollowed out to make potions.
Therefore, when he rushed to this border fortress to take office, he was attacked by many witch-old scholars.
But even when people were in panic, no subordinate abandoned the lord and left.
The reason is very simple.
Because Simon has money!
Very rich!
Of course, in addition to the simple "rich", Young Master Simon is also very good at winning people's hearts.
In short, it is extremely honorable to serve such a virtuous and intelligent lord.
Thinking of this, the maid lowered her body and asked softly:
"Is Mr. Simon worried about the affairs of the old witch? But the saint of the Earth Mother Aritoia will arrive at the Gray Moon Fortress in a few days. With the power of the kind and tolerant earth Mother God, the old witch should not be worrying, right?"
The saint of the Earth Mother, Elitoya, the kind and tolerant Goddess of the Earth Mother?
Simon stood up while rubbing the patterns on the tea set with his fingertips.
"Lolina, do you know how many gold coins I have donated to the Earth Mother Church so far?"
"Uh--" Lolina was stunned and was about to answer.
"You don't need to answer." Simon interrupted.
"Uh..." Lolina opened her mouth and held back everything she wanted to say.
"So far, the Mother Earth Church has taken 13,059 gold coins from me. Then, the question is again, why should I take the initiative to pay this money to the Mother Earth Church?"
"Uh..." Lolina's lips moved and she was about to answer.
"You don't need to answer." Simon raised his hand and suppressed the words she wanted to say.
"Yes..." Lolina shut her mouth.
"It's because the money is worthy of the Mother of the Earth." Simon sat down again, tasted a sip of black tea and continued: "You should be very confused, why would I say that this is worthy of the Mother of the Earth."
"No...that...I know..." Lolina opened her mouth and then closed it immediately.
She saw Simon staring at her.
Seeing that she did not answer, Simon continued:
"Because the Earth Mother Church collects the property of the rich through various ‘legitimate’ reasons, and then stores all these gold coins in its own temple. Even if I don’t pay it on my own initiative, the money will be dig out without a penny. Do you understand?"
"I...I understand." Lolina's face turned red and she felt very hard.
Simon nodded with satisfaction and said, "You go out first and close the door by the way."
"Yes." Lolina, as a personal maid, dared not refute any of the master's words.
She lowered her head, saluted Simon, and then left with a respectful step.
Watching Lolina leave, Simon couldn't help but rub her temples.
There is no way, the pressure has been too great recently. If this method is not used to relieve the pressure, Simon even feels like he is going to become a bald person.
Thinking of this, Simon glanced at the culprit who was so stressed by him.
It was a light screen floating quietly beside him.
At his coming-of-age ceremony a month ago, the light screen suddenly appeared in front of him.
As long as he thinks, he will appear and float around him.
As for the above content...
"The game "Ivey Continent" is about to be launched! All-light brain calculation game! Super high freedom gameplay! Open for 24 hours to play, and continue to care for your liver! Now you can enjoy a 9.9% discount on the helmet of the game now!"
"????" Simon.
These biographical words forced him to pull the black hair scattered in his ears.
A full-optical brain calculation game?
Super high degree of freedom gameplay?
Can you still enjoy a 19% discount on gaming helmets?
What is it above? Is it the devil's language?
What does it mean to go online?
What does light brain mean?
9.9% off...Okay, I can understand this.
In short, look at this light screen called "Ivey Continental Player Forum".
Simon only felt like an indigenous person living in the far east of the continent of Ivey.
However, if we look at some of the things called ‘posts’ below, Simon will almost understand something.
"Ivey Continent" is finally going online for more than half a year after the ticket is delayed?!"
"A real-time calculation of the full-light brain? I'm so kind. Even the hottest "Glory" is not that great, right!"
"Woooo! Grandpa! Wake up quickly! The game you are following is finally going to be online!"
"This wave, this wave is the launch of "Ive Continent".'
There are many comments like this below.
"I'll be good..."
Looking at these comments, even Simon couldn't help but whisper the demon.
He has counted it in a month, and there were almost more than 100,000 people responded to this message alone... The number of likes is 100,000 likes.
What is this level?
The largest urban imperial capital of the empire only has more than 100,000 people living there.
As for one or two million likes-
Forgive Simon, he now feels that as the Lord of One City, he is just an indigenous person.
"This is outrageous, isn't it?"
After a long-term influence on the player forum, Simon subconsciously used the "devil's language".
First of all, the light screen is not an illusion, nor is it that some people use some kind of spell on themselves.
Because Simon specially invited the highest priest in the Earth Mother Goddess to impose purification magic on himself for this floating light screen.
This cost a lot of money.
It really cost a lot of money.
But this light screen still exists.
And it seems that no one else can see it except Simon.
Then the next question comes again.
Since the content on the light screen is not an illusion, what is the situation with leaving a message on it?
To be continued...
