Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 71: Let's Rebuild This Village!
The same day that Issac was having fun, in a dimly lit Room.....
It was still daytime, but this space was not too bright.it was more predominately dark in fact.It was only natural that this was one of the spaces in the underground buildings of the Temple of the twelve holy Goddesses in the Heinz kingdom. of course there is no access so that sunlight can enter. illumination is also sober.perhaps, this room does intend to be hidden by the stakeholders in the temple.well, this room does intend to be hidden by the stakeholders in the temple, although this underground building is not a very real secret.
in that room, there were already six people who used the temple's oversized robes.they were the Bishops who were responsible for ensuring 'the light of the Goddesses spread throughout the country.'
"So what about the kid? is there something strange about him."
one of them starts to open the conversation, but the other bishop seems not interested in the discussion of 'the boy'.
"You mean the kid who at the time of checking made the crystal ball black? I don't think he's doing anything, anyway why are we doing something like spying on that boy? like we don't have another job."
one of the Bishops did not accept what the man sitting opposite him had said.
"WE MUST NOT RELEASE OUR EYES TO A PERSON WHO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME AN EVIL GOD!"
The shout sounded very loud.If only in the room was not coated by soundproof magic, it was possible that this person's voice could be heard throughout the entire temple.
perhaps the incident of making a testifying crystal ball where it was pitch-black was a novelty for hundreds of years the academy stood, but to the temple, this had already happened before. once they got word that a boy was doing something like that, the Bishops went straight to the Secret library that was fused with the room they were in now.
in the library are stored various archives and records written by their predecessors since five hundred years ago when the continent of Lantos was still a large empire. these archives happened to be placed in the library in this temple.they confirmed one thing.The pitch-black color signifies the Demon King who was killed by the hero five hundred years ago.
the Bishops were split in two in the face of this. On the one hand they wanted to immediately exterminate this child to prevent the seedling of the demon king from flourishing and destroy the world in the end.
while on the other hand, they considered that killing the child was an exaggeration.just because the crystal ball was black did not mean that the child was a demon king seedling. after all, the influence of evil gods has been lost on this continent, even if there is an existence they can be counted with fingers, even then they act under the table.
"Have it, don't fuss. it won't solve the problem at all. let's let the child live first after all. let him spend his youth first then...."
KRAAAKK! the sound of a broken wooden puppet head was heard from the other Bishop. Just like the one who was yelling, they were on the same side.
the actions of these two sides made the leader who from the beginning led the discussion so troubled. eventually he was forced to disband this forum and ask the other Bishop to get out of this room.
The man took a deep breath and then exhaled.
"Issac R Starfall.really I don't care about your life and death.but if because of you the light of the holy Goddess will be extinguished, then...." He kept the rest of the words in himself and left the room.
***"
but seeing Anna's incredible body when all her clothes and her body were wet was so. let's forget.it's not nice to treat your best friend like tofu!
"Isac why are you? are you in the flu because of the cold?" Anna gently asked me.
I shook my head, I might get the flu just from taking a bath in the cold lake.There must be people gossiping behind me. For sure!
stupid times, most just my feelings. ah right too. we are now at Aunt Mervouw's house. At first we wanted to go home today but considering it was a bit late afternoon, it was a little late afternoon, I decided to return to the academy tomorrow. Take it easy, nobles are free!
we're definitely punished anyway, but in most cases, nobles who come late after the weekend getaway won't be punished. well maybe in the eyes of the nobles I'm a delinquent but in the eyes of the teacher I'm still a noble. occasionally making use of privileges never hurts, right!?
while waiting for the night to come, my friends decided to have fun again outside the house.The village is quite beautiful. looks like they decided to go somewhere unexplored.
while I am now at Aunt Mervouw's house.as I promised, I will help this village rise from its decline but in a different way to my father's.
I intend to make this village under my control.I could have done the same with my father.but once I leave later, the same thing will happen again. it may solve short-term problems but not long-term problems.
by putting this village under my control, even if I go to a faraway place, my staff will still take care of this village. well even though I'm definitely not going to be the heir to Randall's house anyway.
I spoke to Aunt Mervouw. long enough that I could not describe the conversation here. But the point is that I offered some things to Aunt Mervouw.
the first I asked him to sell 40 percent of his crop to my company. Of course at the appropriate price. the rest he can sell it to anyone.
the second, I'll take the kids. Well he had a misunderstanding. surely the hell, because I said it as if I was a criminal. but I explained that the boy would be trained by the people of the La-Sa Guild. well they would be taught simple read-write and arithmetic.
they will also be taught how to process derivative products from flowers grown in the village.
instead, maybe they will be taxed by the palace, but I will try to suppress the numbers they have to pay. I think there are people who are suitable for this job.I look forward to it!
I also intend to bring my personal troops to this village, but I think it will be done later, after the affairs related to the administration are settled.
In short, Aunt Mervouw who was shocked that I had my own business at such a young age, agreed with the conditions I was given. I will ask the La-Sa Guild of the Venz branch to take care of her details after this.
this village and Aunt Mervouw have sweet memories for my father and my two mothers.It might just be me too. Therefore, I can't wait to see this village rise up and have its own charm.
Well, hope everything goes well.
