Arena, Alien hunting

I boasted to Cha Ji-hye that I thought I would become lord.

However, Cha Ji-hye was always so grave a reaction that made me no fun.

“I see. That's great. ”

“ ……. ”

“Now that you have a foundation, there will be more advantages to the test in the future... … Why do you do that? ”

“You don't know? ”

“Yes, I don't know. Why do you look so upset? ”

“I'm so happy for you, and I'm so happy for you. ”

This time, Cha Ji-hye became deaf and dumb.

Haha, you're embarrassed.

I didn't feel bad, but I could tell. It's gonna take a little time to stick around.

“I'm not used to that. I'm sorry."

“If you're not used to it, you can practice, right? ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

“Literally. Well, please be happy. ”

“ ……. ”

Cha Ji-hye's expression was more pronounced embarrassed.

“I'm so glad you clapped your hands and became Lord, congratulations, and shout with your soul. ”

“I don't want to.”

“You don't want to be happy for me? ”

“That's not it…. ”

“No, thank you. ”

I turned my head and acted frustrated. Then Cha Ji-hye, who was curious, opened his mouth.

“Two hours.”

“3 hours.”

“Very well.”

I began to stroke Cha Ji-hye's head. Cha Ji-hye became a disgruntled eye.

I've decided to return to the Kingdom of Arlend, where Odin is.

I purposely left without saying goodbye to the regiment commander.

I had a feeling there was nothing good in the Arman Empire.

If word had spread about me, it would have gone to the Arman Empire. Then the Sultan may summon me. No, the odds are rich.

But I hate it.

It was not only annoying, but it could be crowded with pirates, Black Magician groups, etc. in the Arman Kingdom.

You think I'm gonna crawl into a place like that with my feet?

We rode the MSM2 quickly to the Kingdom of Arende.

As I was driving back, I talked about Cha Ji-hye and the territory.

“It must be hard to manage people, right? ”

“It won't be as difficult as you think, because it's a hierarchical society. In general, even though we live in poor situations, the subordinate classes of the Arena tend to adapt well. ”

“It could be. ”

I had no choice but to think about the villagers who were raised by the Lycans.

A life tamed by monsters and treated like livestock.

It was an unimaginable conformity for modern Earthlings with concepts of freedom and human rights.

Still, it must be a lot of hard work to walk taxes and get things done, huh? People need to be controlled…….

Organizational life was unsettling for me, who had only schools and armies.

I looked at the slithering wisdom.

“Would you help me if I were the lord? ”

“Of course.”

Huhuhuhuhu, that's it then. Cha Ji-hye would be good at breaking things like this.

“Why don't you be my wife? ”

“Is this a proposal?”

“In the arena. I am the lord, Ji-hye is the lord's wife. That gives you control of my territory. ”

“There's no need for that……. ”

“In the arena, Wisdom is now the identity of Odin's loyal knight. But when I get involved in governance in my territory, it can be strange for others to see. ”

The horse comes out as liquefied oil, even though it's a sudden excuse.

“Besides, marriage is not an easy decision in reality, but it doesn't matter in the arena. What do you think?”

“Well, that's ……. ”

It was amazing.

I had never seen Cha Ji-hye stutter like that before. That red face over there.

Did I make a mistake? ’

Cha Ji-hye is not like other women. I thought that marriage might be very important to Cha Ji-hye.

“I'm sorry. Was I being too rash? ”

“Oh, no. ”

“Then why……. ”

“It wasn't real, but it felt a little weird to be a family. ”

“Ah……. ”

I didn't think of any other position of wisdom with meaning to my family.

I was a little sorry, so I didn't say anything for a while.

However, Cha Ji-hye, who was driving, opened his mouth after a while.

“Very well.”

“Yes?”

“I'll be the lord's wife. ”

Cha Ji-hye took the wooden ring out of the processing time.

A gift made from the tree of life. It was the wedding ring the Elves gave me.

I was happy to run.

I took my wooden ring from the mill and put it in my hand.

I laughed, and she smiled for a long time. It was the best reward for this test.

Earl Wolfenburg.

Odin and Marie found each other when they arrived, because they had contacted us several times in advance.

“Hyunho!”

Marie jumped into my arms like lightning, wondering where she came from.

I hugged her as I always did, but I could see the look of wisdom in her nails. Marie Johanna, this woman needs to draw the line quickly, too. This is bad.

“Greetings.”

Fortunately, Cha Ji-hye took her hand to Marie's head, greeting as if it were nothing. He wanted to stroke it.

“Hmph.”

Marie turns her head softly. Cha Ji-hye, who failed to stroke the wind, grabbed her hand like a pity.

She seemed genuinely happy that Marie was cute.

We went inside the Earl of Wolfenburg's mansion and had dinner in the reception room.

Odin Marie liked it when I took out two plates of hot pizza from the processing time.

It was food on Earth that could be stored at a wide processing age.

“I sometimes bring instant food from Earth, but it's so different to be able to eat a whole plate of pizza. ”

“Delicious!”

We enjoyed the pizza.

Perhaps they are as tired of the inexhaustible food of the arena as we are.

Mary's eyes flip as she pulls out the cola.

With a meal like that, Odin gets to the point.

“The king wants to see Kim Hyun-ho. ”

“Who is the king? ”

“The current king of the Kingdom of Arende is Alcervon III. He is 74 years old and he has ruled this country for 40 years. ”

Forty years?

You've been a king for a long time. It's gonna be a real pain in the ass.

Odin's explanation follows while I admire him.

“A seasoned monarch who knows how to maintain the royal influence while aligning numerous noble families. But the power to make everyone follow you with a strong determination is weak. Make a compromised decision to convince everyone of anything. ”

I think I know.

In short, you're a master of conscience and compromise?

A cunning old man who hides himself in his head in order not to reveal his weakness.

Due to the shortage of trials left, we set out the next day to meet an old man named King.

I rode my wagon to the capital of the Kingdom of Arend and asked Odin for advice on the rule of the Territory.

“Governance can be distinguished between shouting and nagging. ”

Odin told me a story based on his experience with Earl Wolfenburg.

“It's called diplomacy. We need to make an alliance so that the hostiles around us don't threaten us. In your case, we'll take your land close to the Brown Mountains and the Earl of Wolfenburg, so that won't be a problem. ”

“What about the dropouts?”

“Arena is less informed and computational than Earth, so it's a mess and a fist bump. You need to focus on turning it into a systematically rational system. ”

I wrapped my head around it and looked at Cha Ji-hye.

“You got it?"

“I understand.”

It was also the wisdom of faith and trust.

After moving for a long time, we arrived at Siegfried, the Royal Road. It was named after the First King who built the Kingdom of Arend.

“Wow!"

Looking out the window, I couldn't help but wonder.

High-rises are packed and the roads are tidy to keep the wagons moving.

Architectural style was also unusual on Earth, and I was amazed by the occasional magical embellishment.

It is definitely the capital of one country, but it is different.

Across the street, the road leads to the royal palace in the center.

Soldiers and knights guarding the palace gate forcefully let our wagon pass straight through. You recognize Odin's Wagon.

It was the first royal palace I had ever seen, so I became cautious.

After getting out of the wagon, you follow Odin behind you.

“You have to wait to find out that the King is in a political meeting. ”

A woman who looked like a maid appeared and said,

“I know. ”

“I'll take you to the tangential room. ”

The maid led us to a lavish-looking room.

The colorful embroidered carpet was on the floor, and the leather couch, closet, table, and chair were all unusual.

The room of the billionaire who loves antiques looked like this.

It was time to have a long chat.

Several heavily armed knights came into the interstellar room.

They were located on each side of the tangential cabin.

Soon, a tall, well-dressed old man walked in. A suit that looks like a fancy body was being digested with a sleek feel.

The facial wrinkles made me guess a lot of age, but my big eyes were glowing and I felt younger than my real age because of the cheerful expression on my face.

Somehow, when I was young, I was quite attracted to women.

“Earl Wolpenburg, here you are. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

I did.

He was Alserfon III, the king of this country.

We woke up on our feet.

Odin bows his head, placing his right hand on his chest.

I've been following Odin around. Then the gaze of Alserfon III stared at me. His eyes were intrigued.

“Are you the Baron Kim? ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“You heard the story. Younger than I thought. She's great at that age. ”

“Thank you."

“Hehe, you don't even feel noble. I like it better because it's clean and not smeared in the social world. ”

Alserfon III gestured to us to sit down.

“I'm tired of dealing with tough guys in social circles. How many catching each other's tails. It's all funny, but it's my job to beat the shit out of him. ”

And this is the guy who's been doing it for 40 years.

“I've heard a lot about you. I was able to help the Elves in the Brown Mountains to defeat the Black Wizards, and I defeated the pirates in the Aman Empire. ”

“Yes.”

“Acting in the brown mountains at the southernmost part of the continent, acting in the sea at the western end of the continent. You fought in the East and West for a short time. It seems to be moving with more purpose than a wandering knight. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm really curious. Baron Kim, what kind of person are you? ”

Alserfon III suddenly stabbed the core.
