Duke Fradin also bowed his head toward Raymond.
“This Pradin. Impressed by Your Majesty’s light! There will be no light as great as Your Majesty anywhere on the continent. Thank you so much for saving our 2 Magic Towers.”
It was a voice of genuine gratitude.
Because thanks to Raymond, I was able to defeat the Demon King, a long-cherished wish of the 2nd Mage Tower.
If it wasn’t for Raymond, the wizards of the 2nd Mage Tower would have had to shed a lot of blood.
‘He was born a magician and had such a great character.’
Duke Fradin shook his head.
Any doubts that Raymond’s rumors might have been exaggerated were all but gone.
Raymond was perfect.
“I understand why His Majesty was recognized as the preceptor (guide) of the 1st Mage Tower. Can we, the 2nd Mage Tower, serve His Majesty as a Preceptor?”
Duke Fradin asked.
Raymond thought for a moment, then nodded.
‘If you open a kite with the 2nd Mage Tower, you’ll be able to get magic tools at a cheap price. It will help reduce costs when doing business in the Iron Empire.’
“Yes, it’s not enough, but I’ll follow your words.”
“iced coffee! thank you! I wish you well in the future.”
“I would like to ask you well.”
‘Hehe, be prepared to rip off the magic tool at a cheap price later.’
Raymond gave an evil laugh to himself.
Anyway, that’s for the future.
There were more important things now.
had to be compensated.
Fortunately, Duke Fradin kept his promise.
It was decided to pay 50 million penas!
‘Ha ha ha ha! Fifty million penas! Fifty million penas!’
Raymond struggled to contain his laughter.
It was a staggering sum, but still not enough to satisfy Raymond’s greed.
‘Yeah, not enough yet. More money is waiting for me.’
more money.
It was the money to earn after treating King Seong.
Now it was the turn to save the King.

Fortunately, the transplant operation was successful.
‘The structure of the demon king’s heart is identical to that of humans, so there was no major problem.’
After major surgery, Raymond sighed in relief.
There was no rejection that I was worried about.
As Duke Fradin said, the demon king was shaped by the mental body, so it didn’t seem to induce the host’s immune response.
After a while, King Seong finally came to his senses.
“I… … Are you still alive?”
The King Seong blinked and made a face of disbelief.
Then, when he saw Raymond standing next to him, he opened his eyes wide.
“You, the emperor of poverty, saved me. thank you thank you.”
The King hastily lowered his head.
“No, it’s fine. Wasn’t it that you couldn’t speak?”
Raymond made a puzzled face.
Unlike before, it was a holy king who spoke with a normal voice.
The King’s expression darkened.
“I couldn’t speak because of the curse. Now that the curse is lifted, you can speak.”
“What the hell happened?”
Everyone present, including Rose, listened.
The King Seong let out a deep sigh.
“As you might expect, I am not the person I was before. It has been a long time since all powers were taken away and he became the scarecrow king. Even I have lost all powers except for the heal ability.”
“Who the hell would do that?”
“He is the ruler of the chaos of the outer continent of Jormund.”
It was as expected.
However, Raymond did not understand easily and asked back.
“But isn’t the Holy King also a powerful ruler of chaos? By the way, are you going through something like this?”
“Because the opponent was that powerful. To the point where it can’t even compare to me.”
“… … !”
The King’s fingertips trembled faintly.
It was fear.
“The one who overpowered me… … He called himself the ‘sole ruler’ of Jormund.”
sole ruler.
It was a word I had heard before.
‘It’s a story the demon king of greed told by borrowing his power!’
It was clear that he was the same person who disabled the sealing of the 2nd Mage Tower.
“I could not resist in front of his mighty power. All six of his wings were cut off, and he became his slave.”
Everyone in the hall swallowed their saliva.
It was a terrifying story.
‘The Holy King is an existence that can be said to have the greatest power in Ley Pentaina, but he was helplessly defeated. How on earth could that being have such a strong power?’
A while ago, I remembered the scene where the existence manifested its power at the call of the Demon King of Greed.
The eerie energy he felt at the time gave Raymond a chilling feeling.
Raymond shook his head and asked what he was curious about.
“As a condition of the bet you made with me, the loser wanted to become the property of the winner, was it to get away from him?”
“Yes, because that was the only way to get out of the being’s clutches. Coincidentally, His Majesty had the ‘qualification’ to be my master, so it’s a gamble I asked for.”
Qualification.
It seemed to be referring to Raymond’s qualification as the ruler of chaos.
‘I am also the ruler of chaos, so you put up such a strange bet condition with the intention of becoming my own and escaping from that scary being.’
The King smiled lightly.
“I bet on Your Majesty’s Light, but fortunately it seems to have worked out. thank you.”
“Then what about?”
“Yes, that Mufenheim now belongs to Your Majesty.”
Raymond cleared his throat.
The King Seong owns it.
It’s a bit of an expression, but honestly, I felt like I was going to die.
‘If I work the king as a low-wage worker, I’ll be able to make a lot of money.’
That’s not all.
‘The wealth the King Seong has accumulated so far is mine! How much is the king’s wealth? If I rip it off at once, I’ll be cursed at, right?’
However, Raymond, who was in the midst of joy and happiness, suddenly felt eerie.
When I turned my gaze, Rose had a cool look in her eyes.
Not only Rose, but also Christine didn’t look very good.
‘Why?’
Raymond tilted his head, not understanding why Rose was looking at him like that.
“sir? Do you really like having the Holy King under your command?”
“yes? yes? that is… … ?”
Raymond looked into Rose’s eyes and spared his words.
It was an instinctive action.
“Hmm.”
No matter how she reacted to Raymond’s reaction, Rose gave her a scary smile.
“Let me discuss this matter with you separately. Let’s finish the important story first.”
Rose looked at the Holy King and said.
“Then what is the purpose of its existence?”
Everyone paid attention to the king’s mouth.
The King Seong bit his lip and spoke in a trembling voice.
“The Conquest of the Leifentina Continent.”
“… … !”
“It is his purpose to make the continent of Leifentai completely his own.”
The hall became quiet.
It was expected, but hearing it in person was shocking.
“So everything that has happened has been attributed to him?”
“Yes, that’s right. All the terrible things that happened in the Iron Empire of the Crusader Federation were caused by his conspiracy.”
Raymond sighed.
‘I’m glad I blocked it.’
If it hadn’t been stopped, the Crusader Alliance Empire and the Iron Empire would have been in the same situation as the Holy Kingdom.
However, the King Seong spoke heavily.
“Fortunately, Your Majesty foiled his plot, but this is not the end.”
“then?”
“His full-scale plans haven’t even started yet. What happened to both empires so far was just to preoccupy an advantageous position ahead of the main plan, and the truly terrible disaster is from now on.”
“What the hell is he up to?”
The King said heavily.
“The Great War.”
“… … !”
“Soon, the rulers of chaos on the outer continent of Jormund will begin a massive invasion of Leifentina. The continent of Ley Pentaina will be engulfed in the horrors of war.”
Everyone’s heart thumped and sank.
* * *
‘What? That kind of nonsense?’
Raymond’s eyes darkened.
‘What kind of fucking continental war is this all of a sudden?! no!’
Now, at best, I am on the verge of achieving my super-rich dream, so what kind of thunderbolt is this?
But Rose asked sharply.
“I don’t understand. The beings of chaos on the outer continent cannot easily cross the open sea due to innate restrictions. Initiating a great war?”
At that, people were puzzled.
Come to think of it, it was.
Because of the open sea between the two continents, it has been extremely rare for beings of chaos to cross over to the Leifentai or continent.
Occasionally, only a few escaped the restrictions.
“The being has prepared a way to avoid restrictions.”
“What is?”
“We are building a giant space jump portal in the Holy Land. When that portal is completed, beings of chaos will be able to move to the continent of Leifentai without any restrictions.”
“… … !”
A deadly silence fell in the hall.
It was a terrifying story.
The problem is that it is not an impossible story.
‘Because I can use the space movement portal too. If that being can use abilities similar to mine, it’s possible.’
Raymond’s complexion turned white.
A truly colossal catastrophe was approaching.
However, King Seong spoke a somewhat hopeful story.
“Still, thanks to His Majesty the Emperor of Poverty, I can see a tiny bit of light.”
“yes?”
“The reason he waged such a terrible plot in both empires was not simply to take over both empires from behind the scenes.”
“then?”
“Right blood.”
“… … !”
The King Seong told an amazing story.
“It takes a sacrifice to complete the portal. That’s why I tried to complete the portal in exchange for the blood of the dead by causing trouble on the Leifentina continent, but thanks to Your Majesty, I was able to buy some time.”
Raymond felt relieved at those words.
‘Then, I’ll just have to restore the Holy Kingdom well.’
The place where the space movement portal was completed was the Holy Kingdom.
If we restore the Holy Kingdom and thwart his plan, the war we worry about won’t happen.
‘And it’s to my advantage that the Holy King regains his original power.’
Raymond was secretly greedy.
The King Seong became his possession.
It was a measure to get out of his control, but his possession was his possession anyway.
‘Anyway, it would be much better to suck your spine as the king of a holy kingdom than to be a healer. If you use the power of the Holy King, you will be able to take care of all kinds of self-interest in the Holy Kingdom.’
Raymond fantasizes grandiosely of sipping honey on all continents.
