The Legend of Return
Chapter 322. Seize the Land (4)
– You defeated the monsters with overwhelming force.
– Acquired mana points.
– You have leveled up.
– Affinity with spirits increased when using spirit weapons.
– The title has been changed to ‘Beast Butcher’.
Also, the equipment was the best.
After the battle, the level up was done several times.
The aftermath of the gamble with his life still pumped out adrenaline.
I couldn’t breathe properly and it blew like a storm.
If it wasn’t for the equipment sucker, it would have been incompetent to beat the magic beasts.
He was also injured.
Maybe it was because his level had risen, his body was still at ease with that level of injury.
It seemed like I was in the game for a while, but it was the real world, not the game.
The bitter pain from the wound was vividly felt.
“therapy!”
Healing magic was cast.
“Standing power!”
The knight Kars and other cavalrymen who could not escape from the monsters were surprised.
Aaaaaaaaaa.
As soon as the blue magical energy touched the wound, new skin quickly sprouted.
After leveling up, the treatment medicine got better.
It was a dangerous battle.
I looked at the magic beast I caught for the first time with ease.
I had no choice, but if I hadn’t had the magic weapon, I would have gone from the other world to the underworld.
“Whoa…”
Thinking of the moment that brushed against the beast’s claws, he let out a long sigh.
Their claws, the size of a tiger’s paws, were themselves strong weapons like steel.
The battle for life always felt different.
It was unfamiliar to secure death.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
People on the railing watched and burst into cheers.
There were also people who shed tears and were genuinely happy.
It was the scene of a miracle given by God.
It was a chance.
The golden moment that came after a crisis.
It was showtime.
It would be foolish to miss this moment when the knights and villagers were moved.
“Are you Lord Kars?”
I made sure to take a picture of the knight Kars, who was in a daze of astonishment.
The atmosphere was saved enough with magic power.
He is a handsome blonde man.
His shoulders were wide open and his blue eyes were typical of a handsome man.
His tone was different from Talman, a mercenary knight in the territory.
“Who are you?”
Kars’ voice trembled.
Kars must have realized that my true identity is not ordinary.
“I…”
He opened his mouth slowly, making eye contact with Kars.
I had to put up with the atmosphere and the chicken comments I was going to spit out in advance.
“The new owner of this land. I am Count Becker Jean.”
It was neither too heavy nor cheap.
“!!!”
At the word lord, Kars’ eyes shook mercilessly.
“Umm…”
He groaned.
It was the expression that something was to come.
The people here knew the story of a new owner appearing in Count Castle.
I visited alone without fear.
He showed tremendous inaction by beating and killing the beasts at once.
The majesty of a proud lord.
gulp.
I could see dry saliva running down Kars’ neck.
It’s time to choose.
Kars stared at me passionately.
A brief moment of exploration.
I like Kars.
The bravery that Kars showed was of a different quality than the soldiers I had.
The knight Kars, who was charging alone towards the Witchbeasts.
Kars clenched his fists tightly.
And…
“Knight Kars is coming to see the lord!”
Putting his fisted right hand on his heart, Kars raised the knight’s bow in a loud voice.
At the first meeting, I owed it with my life.
I watched from the closest distance as they fought against the monsters and won.
Even if not as a lord, as a knight, you can’t help but respect him.
“I see the young lord!”
The cavalrymen who approached suddenly followed Kars and raised their bow.
No one dared to ask again because he confirmed his skills with his own eyes.
No, I could feel the respect in his eyes.
“Do you recognize me as your lord?”
“of course. I acknowledge Count Becker Jean as the owner of this land!”
Kars acknowledged me neatly and coolly.
I always needed articles.
Get me a knight!
I couldn’t leave such a high-quality (?) article.
“Sir Kars.”
He warmly called Kars.
“Please tell me. Lord.”
Kars’ voice softened.
“I am lacking.”
“???”
Kars made a surprised expression at my sudden words.
“Can you help me like that?”
contained sincerity.
“!!!”
Kars’ eyes trembled violently.
If my heart didn’t tremble at the unconventional proposal of the lord I saw for the first time today, it was the heart of death.
Because he owed his life, as a knight with a sword, he had an obligation to repay the debt.
But I said I was lacking and asked for help.
It would be on a different level from the arrogant and self-aware lord Kars had known so far.
“Kars… Be my knight! Raise your sword with me for the peace and well-being of this territory!”
begged strongly.
A story that goes from riding to before.
Contrary to the stern face, I was anxious inside.
cooong.
“Knight Kars de Damian! I dare to ask you to become the sword of Count Beckard de Jean! Take me… please! You are my lord!”
Kars gets down on one knee and shows the best example.
“Please receive us! Lord!”
Following them, the cavalrymen knelt down on one knee.
Whirling.
Paralat.
A wind blew from the plains, blowing the cloaks of the soldiers.
and.
“I allow you to be my sword…!”
Hiding the tearing madness in his mouth, he answered sternly.
– You have obtained knights and would-be knights!
– My wallet overflowed with mana points.
– The title has been changed to ‘A fake lord with a tearing mouth’.
Alpha Doc made fun of me.
But I wasn’t angry.
Acquire the original knight of your dreams.
And they got new fortresses and lands ruled by knights.
I was… a real lord now!

“Kars from Dalin Fortress also joined?”
“That’s right. Lord. It seems that he has been captured by a man named Becker.”
“Good. He’s a guy who needs to be wiped out anyway.”
Baron Lubeck, who was marching towards the county of Versailles, leisurely received a report from his temporary barracks.
It was outdoors, but I poured wine from a golden goblet on a table full of dishes.
Even the cooks and court ladies accompanied them to the battle.
Lubeck felt like a picnic rather than a war.
A spy from the castle informed him of the contents, but he didn’t take it seriously.
He also knew about the knight Kars.
He was the subject of interest because he was a knight of the neighboring county.
However, it wasn’t strong enough to notice.
He came with the entire army of Yeongji.
There were over 7,000 regular soldiers and vigilantes.
The knights were also accompanied by everyone.
Baron Lubeck also led such a large army for the first time in his life.
Seeing the field full of soldiers, his exhalation soared.
Even though it was important information, it was lightly ignored.
“Lord. Looks like he’s stronger than I thought. It’s hard to believe, but there are rumors that he hunted a group of Rakuras alone in Dalin Village.”
Albert, the Commander of the Territory Knights, continued his report with a serious expression.
It was a very absurd report, but it was strangely reluctant.
“Masu? ha ha ha ha Sir Albert. Are you telling me to believe that? To deal with the rakura swarm, the entire army of our territory must come forward. But you caught him alone? Fuhahahahaha.”
Leave the barracks, Baron Lubeck laughed.
If it was a group of orcs, the Witchbeast could not be dealt with individually.
Also, the Rakura group were excellent with their brutal fighting instincts.
“I don’t even believe in my convictions… but I’m guessing he’s an Elementalist.”
“done. If he had a brain, he would have leaked false information. I’m just trying to hold on a little longer.”
“It seems so. It’s ridiculous that you can do a swarm of monsters by yourself.”
Despite the meticulous nature of Albert, who had a reputation as a cunning and cruel knight under Lubeck, the content was unbelievable.
He was a magic fighter who dealt with the spirits, but that was it.
If he was a high-ranking fighter, he would have received a title and a territory with his skills.
“Will you arrive tomorrow evening?”
“If we brush up on the soldiers a little sooner, we can arrive around noon.”
“done. It’s not like the rats are running anywhere. Hehehe.”
Drinking red wine, Lubeck was infinitely relaxed.
After swallowing the Count’s castle, he intended to ask his patron, the Marquis of Aradon, to promote his title to Viscount.
The Earl of Versailles has been a treasure trove of food since the land was fertile and seafood was abundantly produced.
The county was maintained even without special products.
“Feed the soldiers to their full. I will be busy all day tomorrow.”
“I obey your order!”
Baron Lubeck showed generosity like never before.
A new lordship you will get tomorrow.
“Heh heh heh heh.”
Lubek’s sinister laughter flowed ceaselessly from his lips.

“In life, the identity must always be accurate! Hehehe.”
These days, the identity of the lord has been perfectly established.
I tasted a few of the quick and easy ways to enjoy the lord.
Occupy an empty castle, develop a beggar-like territory, acquire and train soldiers, receive an oath of allegiance from a knight, and so on.
In the future, a list of estate expansion, aristocratic parties, etc. awaits.
Although there was no direct income from the territory yet, I was satisfied.
When they saw me, everyone bowed their heads and showed the best example.
It was sincere, not rude, so I was impressed.
Moreover, when the article appeared, confidence skyrocketed.
Back from the seaside town.
He was formally declared a lord, and everyone accepted.
When it came, it just didn’t come.
He returned to the castle with a wagon full of various fish dried by the sea breeze.
The knight Kars also accompanied them.
It was the count’s visit, which had been missing for several years.
Allowed regular round trip once or twice a day.
Knight Kars disciplined the soldiers properly.
He gave the knights a set of robbed armor and weapons.
Loyalty hit 100.
It has become a competitive system with Talman.
Talman was in charge of a special combat team made up of mercenaries.
Every day the soldiers grew stronger.
The castle was also full of life.
In Dalin Village, where they made a living by selling fish, they brought overflowing manpower to the castle.
There were more technicians than expected.
Winter wheat cultivation began in earnest around the main castle.
The village of Dalin had an abundance of fish, but the farmland was small.
The synergistic effect was activated in earnest.
“Tonight’s dinner is the lord’s banquet.”
You tasted it.
I gave the pub in Seongan to the owner of a beer house.
The tavern that was operated in the past was provided free of charge.
And after work, we had a beer.
Fresh beer brewed daily was supplied to the lord free of charge.
The castle quickly revived as if it had received the grace of the gods.
The crops that grew wild outside the castle were larger than expected, and the yield was quite good.
Fresh fish was also airlifted in every day.
A smile bloomed on the young people’s faces.
When the food was plentiful, the anxiety disappeared.
It was rewarding as a lord.
In this world, the lord who fed the people of the province was respected.
“I had a lot of trouble this month too.”
He didn’t hold back his self-praise.
A month passed by quickly.
The returnable point has long been exceeded.
Soon, new gold and waste crystals will be supplied from the top.
He extracted the magic stone from the demons.
30 in all.
Although it was a lower rank, it was more efficient than the Orc Warriors.
In other words, he worked hard for a month and received a large part-time job settlement.
“Today’s menu is~”
The happiness did not end.
Fresh organic ingredients incomparable to the earth were scattered around.
The ingredients are good, so even if you do it roughly, you can cook it.
Cooking skill rose quickly.
Dae Jang Geum’s sister’s various fish dishes were spread out in a panorama.
The stress of the day was relieved with delicious food.
Today, we invited territory knights and merchants.
I walked over and headed to the kitchen.
“Perfect!”
Shiny stainless dishes were neatly placed and greeted me with a smile.
There was nothing without pots, plates, and cooking utensils.
It was a space that was not envious of a hotel kitchen.
“Full course!”
I decided on the menu in my head.
“Fire Dragon~.”
Called the fire spirit.
Hwaryongi, the spirit of fire, appeared with a red light.
After becoming a mid-level spirit, her majesty was extraordinary.
“In 5 steps!”
Anyway, Hwaryongi was usually used as a substitute for a gas stove.
If the elemental spirits saw it, it would have turned their eyes away.
Hwaryongi did not refuse.
Unlike humans, Hwa-Ryong didn’t care about the status of a job.
Roaring.
The fire grew rapidly.
It was ignited with Hwaryongi’s eco-friendly magic without the need for fuel.
“Mermaid~”
the water spirit also called.
A water spirit appeared and looked at me with innocent eyes.
“Ask for some water in the pot.”
The spirits became limbs and were put into the kitchen.
The wind spirit was also needed.
When the water spirit finished washing the dishes, the wind spirit dried them neatly.
The earth spirit Mr. Mudjeosi swallowed the food waste.
It was a 100% nature-friendly model kitchen.
Tadadadadada. Fire ruru.
So the kitchen was burning hot.
Dinner with guests coming tonight.
It’s a nice place in the world where there are people you can have a meal with.
It was another highlight of enjoying the life of a lord.
