Episode 301. Didn’t leave in the first place (1)
──────
Big shot.
Every time it moves, the continent shakes. Then, what happens when a giant meets a giant? Even the continent is hard to contain them, so there aren’t many cases where each other likes each other…
──────
The red-eyed Dune.
The leader, Shaheen Dune, looked at the sky. Intense aura was captured in the red eyes that could see through the essence. Shaheen, who calmed down his wild words, opened his mouth.
“A dragon as a guest. You are an unusual guest.”
Earth Dragon Kudhanax.
It is Kudhanax with the heaviest body among dragons.
king of all things.
If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn’t be strange if his body shrank just by witnessing it.
Rather, Shaheen opened her chest wide and let out a laugh.
“You’re really back, Claudius!”
That attitude showed that Shaheen was a big player.
If Shaheen was entering Cloudy’s estate from the west.
To the south was Garmond Peel, the top of the diamond.
“Hey!”
There is something called the Golden Top.
It’s like a title given to someone who controls the continent.
However, Garmond Peel lacked even such luxurious modifiers.
not one or two
Is this really the desolate continent of Arcana?
It was a procession that would make both eyes suspicious.
Dozens of wagons loaded with luggage.
The number of soldiers escorting him is ten times his number.
It was no exaggeration to say that Yeongji literally moved.
“Let’s see, let’s do the math. assistant.”
Knock knock.
The upper state’s wagon covered in diamonds.
His chubby fingers tap the jewels that embroider the seats without hesitation.
“Hmm…”
Garmond shook his head as he watched Cloudy’s estate approaching. Now that Cloudy has returned to the Arcana continent… Garmond clenched his fists.
“After all, shouldn’t we stick to Cloudy for the Hantang?”
diamond top.
Garmond didn’t like a title that surpassed gold.
After all, it wasn’t a title he earned on his own.
Garmond’s eyes sparkled with ambition.
‘It’s time to prove your abilities, Garmond Peel.’
My ancestor Sangdanju’s father always said.
It is said that there is a time to make money.
Business in a peaceful era?
Spice gold mine luxuries….
He earned a huge income, but compared to the wealth accumulated in his family, it was a ridiculous level. If this is the case, even if you go all your life, you will not be able to escape from your father’s shadow. For a more overwhelming profit, they had to jump on the trend of a new era.
“like now.”
Garmond saw this as an opportunity to multiply his fortune.
The reason was simple.
The point of view of merchants is quite different from that of criminals.
Garmond said to the assistant who was by his side.
“You can see the collapsed continent of Arcana. It’s hard to believe that there were so many buildings in the past. But it’s all up to you to think. If it collapsed, shouldn’t we build it again?”
Garmond’s plan was simple.
If Cloudy truly returned to the continent, it would only be a matter of time before the continent becomes peaceful. What if you could monopolize continental construction projects on the restored Arcana continent?
“Diamond? No, you will be reborn as a great guild that cannot be modified by minerals! That means…”
His eyes suddenly sparkled like jewels.
“I will become a greater merchant than my father and all my ancestors. This me, no one else!”
I was so excited about this.
Garmond calmed his excitement.
It wasn’t a step to be sure of.
Didn’t you even check?
‘Could the returned Claudy really have that kind of ability?’
Garmond did not live at the same time as Cloudy.
Nevertheless, the reason for knowing Cloudy’s reputation is simple. Because it was thanks to Cloudy that the current Diamond Headquarters could exist.
Garmond snorted.
“Can you believe it, assistant? The arrogant father who was strict, confident, and gave all the credit to himself. The fact that I was stumped by the name Cloudy.”
“…the previous lord of the upper tier?”
“that’s right. No, not just my father.”
Dozens of times when you came to the top of the diamond.
You said it was Cloudy who led that period every time.
Still, Garmond was not optimistic.
‘It’s me who judges to the end.’
Cloudy is extinct.
Even if the survivor is back.
Will it be able to immediately restore its enormous reputation in the past?
I had to judge with suspicion.
‘Even Youngman would do that.’
Will Cloudy’s estate remain intact?
Could it be that
That’s why Garmond moved extremely calculatedly.
“It’s not right to jump to conclusions, assistant.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“If that isn’t enough, you need to take out insurance as well.”
Many wagons are a kind of insurance.
In order to set up the Cloudy family right, you will definitely need a lot of money. regardless of ability. It wouldn’t be bad business to pay off the debt to the Cloudy family with just this much money.
“Wow.”
Just then, the voice of the coachman is heard.
It must have entered Cloudy’s estate.
Garmond opened the carriage window and looked out.
“Let’s see…”
And he doubted his eyes.
“…!”
What came into his field of vision was a mansion that radiated an enormous presence even at the edge of the horizon. Garmond felt the shock as if he had been hit in the back of the head for a moment.
Because the mansion is more gorgeous than your own?
No, there is no more luxurious mansion on the Arcana continent than the Phil family’s mansion adorned with various jewels. I wonder if it’s a legendary treasure island…
But Garmond murmured involuntarily.
“…beautiful.”
Aesthetically there are no flaws. Even without extravagant decorations, the beauty of its structure and shape cannot be expressed in words. It was like looking at a sculpture.
But the surprise was just the beginning.
“Lord of the top four!!”
A voice from the lead carriage.
Garmond stuck his head out a little more, and a huge statue came into view. To be precise, the animated statue was confronting the upper guards.
The stone statue opens its mouth.
“You cannot enter the Cloudy Territory without an invitation.”
“…!!”
Only then did Garmond realize that he had made a mistake.
That Cloudy was a being that could not be judged by the common sense of the Arcana continent.
Hurry up!
Garmond got off the carriage and took out an invitation.
Know what it takes to be successful as a trader.
And it is a quick situational judgment like flipping the palm of your hand.
“Here’s your invitation! Sorry for being late than that. As you can see, we are constantly bringing many presents to celebrate the return of the great family Cloudy…!”
*
North, South, East and West.
I looked at the stone statue guarding the road leading to the territory.
A symbol of loyalty to Cloudy left by the 4 families.
Cloudy’s invitation probably reached the 4 families as well.
‘Of course, I don’t know if he will accept the invitation.’
It is said that he was a loyal employee only in the past.
In the yard after a long time, isn’t it a stranger now?
It’s been a while since I’ve consumed enough mana to the point where the Circle feels stiff.
“What’s more important than the outside is what’s inside.”
Integrity innocence.
It’s Grandfell who realized that wealth and fame are fleeting. I am not Lee Ho-yeol. First impressions are important everywhere, even in social life.
‘I need to show my health.’
In the first place, I had a purpose.
I will enlist my allies using Cloudy’s halo!
To do so, it was necessary to prove that Cloudy’s halo was still brilliant. That’s why Grandfel hosted a banquet that he didn’t like.
The same goes for Cloudy’s mansion.
[Aesthetic: 上]
Demonstrating aesthetic stats The part that can be restored through reversal magic is restored, and the part that cannot be restored depends on the aesthetic sense of Grandfel to rebuild the mansion.
‘I never thought I’d be doing magic tricks while interfering with minerals.’
Even the search process is omitted due to the effect of the [Pentuity of pure knowledge].
At the same time, it was one of the most used magic.
Restoring the Cloudy family mansion was not easy even for me, who could claim to be the founder if there was architectural magic.
First of all, the size was unmatched.
‘It was almost like a golden palace.’
It doesn’t end there.
The inside must also reveal Cloudy’s soundness.
Ttogak─
Small items that show off their presence with restrained luxury that
catches the eye when you come down the stairs of the mansion .
If you ask me where did I get this.
‘Where is this treasure island?’
I paid a reasonable price and brought it from Yusra Kingdom.
If you convert that into money…
wouldn’t the sound of billions come out hundreds of times?
‘Although it doesn’t mean much.’
In fact, let’s say hundreds of billions.
Compared to the rift clearing rewards I’ve learned so far, it won’t even be new blood. Of course, if you were a petit bourgeois like me, it was an astronomical amount that would have scared you just by looking at your bank account.
“Not bad.”
The bowl of Grandfel has to be so wide.
Thanks to that, I returned to the Arcana Continent with a full inventory.
And now it was.
I faced Kudhanaks who was shouting my name loudly.
‘Did I have to do that…?’
It’s nothing to be ashamed of.
There is an order to everything.
Even if you don’t, you should ask the patient how they are.
“Is the body intact, Kudhanax?”
“Thanks to your concern, there is no big change Dear Dark Dragon Lee Ho-yeol Grand Fel Cloudy Arpheus Romeo. Rather than that, in what gap did you set up the territory again?”
whichever gap
It was thanks to diligent movement as soon as he tore the dimension and stepped on the Arcana continent. But was there a way to easily admit that this guy’s bravado went through hardships?
“It wasn’t set right.”
“…?”
“Because Cloudy didn’t collapse in the first place.”
Do you really think you’ll just keep your mouth open even if you fall into the nether?
“Oops… I didn’t get the deep meaning of it.”
Kudhanax lowered his head as if to apologize.
I really don’t have to.
What is the deep meaning?
Everything was just because of Grandfel’s lofty pride.
‘Even if everything in Cloudy collapsed.’
It’s because Grandfel himself hasn’t been broken.
In the end, it meant that Cloudy didn’t collapse until the end.
Is it because he returned to the territory and carried the weight of the family head?
I feel like my already wide open chest is getting more upright.
‘I hope today passes safely.’
It was the moment when I was concerned about the cubic court that ran wild from the beginning.
Kudhanax continued.
It was a story about a kin dragon.
“Yunaxus sent his regards to the Dark Dragon. I wanted to attend the invitation, but I am sorry that the circumstances are not suitable.”
Even if you don’t listen, you can understand the troubles.
Yunaxus was an elder dragon and was the leader of the dragons.
It must be in the middle of finding a solution for the people who swallowed the evil fruit.
‘No matter how much, I couldn’t attend the banquet.’
Kudhanax must have been the dragon to replace Yunaxus.
Why does it have to be a Kudhanax with a big throat and a light mouth?
I was resentful, but after hearing the circumstances, I understand.
‘The only one who has lived through the same age as Yunaxus is Kudhanaxus.’
…Anyway, thank you for shining Cloudy’s halo.
Even if it’s not the case, even in the real Mage’s Tower, the Mage’s Healing School wizards are constantly working hard on the evil department. It was a moment when I was trying to deliver good news in my own way.
…thud!
I heard a loud noise all of a sudden.
“Hmm…?”
Kudhanax’s ears trembled once.
A state where [Natural Enemy Relations] has not been activated.
It is impossible to know the source of the distant noise.
However, the story is different if that is where my [authority] extends. No, beyond the activation of the [Permissions] function, this place is Cloudy’s territory.
“I can guess.”
I understand.
Is a giant a giant for nothing?
It is only natural that they collide with other giants as they are large and powerful. However, as the saying goes, if you go to Rome, follow the Roman law.
“However.”
Cloudy is the law here.
“It is unacceptable in my estate.”

Red-eyed Shaheen Dune.
“The piglets at the top have risen when they gain weight.”
Diamond topper Garmond Peel.
“Do you think this is not a bad proposal for you, who are no different from savages? There was a rumor that there was no problem with just one side…. You sell it to me. The enemy of the Dune clan!”
The warriors of the Dune Clan and the guards of the Merchant Armed Forces come out with weapons.
The two giants blatantly bit each other.
However, the life-and-death war of nerves did not last long.
Soon, a cold voice resounded in their heads.
– Are you confident?
“…!!”
That moment.
-It means whether you are prepared to make a fuss in Cloudy’s estate.
pressure on the mouth and body.
It is the “Eon-sama” that has only been heard in words.
Only then did the two men realize the seriousness of the situation.
And I noticed.
‘Swordsman…! To be able to exercise such enormous authority…!!’
There was no doubt.
to the Arcana Continent.
Cloudy is back.
“…would it be okay to fight on a good day haha.”
The great family that makes even the big game lower its tail is back!
