Disciple of Immortal

"Soon there will be a clash between the golems I built secretly and the Kingdom Knights in this commercial city of Polo Rock. And then I will use force to completely dictate Pololock... to declare my independence from the Kingdom and declare war on the present kingdom."

Greed spoke lightly.

Hearing that, Philia opens her eyes wide.

"Jeez, this is a joke... what's going on, Uncle?" I mean, you can do that... "

"Yes, I can. City Polo Rock has been developing magic weapons and researching black magic in the shadows." I wanted to take control of the economy of the entire kingdom... but the Kingdom Knights moved much faster than I expected, so I couldn't beat them. Still, it was just a decoration of the number of allies. What is needed most to turn the country upside down is overwhelming power, not quantity, but quality. This is what I concluded decades ago. My golem army will overwhelm even the top knights and S-class adventurers. "

That's what Greed said in a faint tone.

"...... you don't have to be so ready. I have no intention of letting you do anything. But I don't recommend getting out of here. It's safer to be in my building than in a city where unrest is going to happen."

"There's nothing left. Philia, I'm going to help Pomera and the others." Besides... if you're a bad person, Philia, I won't forgive you. "

"It wasn't just a flattery... it seemed like the [Blood Wet Coin] had actually escaped, so I guess I could fight it properly." He's a good boy with a strong sense of justice. Is that how it was made? "

"It doesn't matter! The Kanatas took care of Philia, so Filia should take care of the Kanatas too!" Because I'm a friend! "

"It's a healthy thing. Don't you think you're using it? Humans only move with greed. I'm the one who can be sure. In the first place, alchemy life forms (homunculus) are prohibited by the Kingdom Law for various reasons. I purposely created a distorted life at the end of the experiment, and walked like a loving animal, friends, etc... ha"

"... don't call me Alchemy Life Form (Homunculus) or Alchemy Life Form (Homunculus)." I don't like the way you call me that. And it wasn't made by Filia and Canata. "

"If you don't attack, I promise you won't touch them." However, you shouldn't see Kanata and the others anymore. Ordinary humans can never understand alchemy (homunculus). "

"We're not all like that..." What does Uncle know? "

"You know, I've been watching the dirty parts of the human genitals in this city of desire."

At that time, explosions and screams began to fly from outside.

Philia squeezes her mouth together and turns to the window.

Greed was right... the battle between the Golem and the Knights of the Kingdom began in the city.

"Don't worry. This time, the Kingdom Knight was a soldier. By letting them escape alive and report them, they show my strength... and shame the whole kingdom with chaos. The inhabitants of the City Polo Rock will not be killed unless they resist. Of course... this time, it is."

"... why are you doing this, Uncle?" There was a lot of money, and I lived in a place like a castle, and a lot of people liked me, and I ate delicious food... so I wasn't satisfied? You're not really a bad person, are you? Uncle... it's kind of lonely. "

"A pure young lady wouldn't know. All those who are satisfied with the happiness of the people, competition, the difference between the rich and the poor, and development do not happen. It's just... this is my vengeance on the world. As long as I live, I will never stop walking. Whatever happens, it's fine."

"I'll stay next to Philia so that my uncle won't be lonely." Still...... no good? "

Greed opened his eyes in surprise at Philia's words.

Then he said, "Fufu, fufu," and laughed.

"She's really a pure child. Would you mind listening to some guy for a second? Perhaps as long as your daughter is here, my men will fight with their heads scratched, and they won't be able to control the golem well... defeat the Royal Knight lightly, and things may settle down."

Philia stared silently at Greedo's face.

After a while, Greedo started talking.

"... the man was born in a poor village." Starvation continued... and my parents and brothers also died of starvation, or were lost in a startup or accident. When a man on a journey called a wise man appeared in the village... he desperately begged to be taught every day, gained knowledge, and left the village to escape. Since then, I've started a pedestrian movement that revolves around dangerous sections that others hate. ”

"... you're talking about Uncle?"

Philia's question was not answered by Greedo.

"Although it was dangerous, the man built up wealth, achievements and knowledge smoothly. As you do so, you will learn a route that is considered dangerous, but not dangerous...... a route that other merchants don't know is delicious. Yes, it was my knowledge that saved me. The villagers have done nothing and are still panting for hunger. Gaining knowledge and outperforming others... that's what men have learned, that's the answer to success."

Greed stood up from his seat and walked through the room.

"I don't care if your ability to act has made it work... I wonder if the ruthlessness of others has become your weapon. The man continued to succeed." No, luck must have been the biggest factor in the end. A city of dreams that is in such a good position for trading, but hasn't been touched by any sensitive merchants... I found a sleeping gold nugget, the Polo Rock. The man who made the historic success in this place was eventually recognized as a lord by the kingdom... and finally got the street name of Daishang. "

Greedo keeps talking as he walks.

Philia silently decided to listen to him.

"However, the man was not satisfied." I had a bottomless desire. Or else, before you got here, did you end up satisfied as just a little successful peddler? The man's next goal was to rule the kingdom itself. In this way, we built a criminal area and a dark area around us... We began to shed money and supplies and create weapons to fight the Kingdom. Not only simple weapons, but also the forbidden study of black magic, the production of restricted golems and synthetic beasts (chimeras) combined with monsters..... "

I stopped in front of the painting and looked back at Philia.

Greede smiled somewhere mockingly.

"... and it's a study of an alchemical life form (Homunculus)." But later, the man will truly regret the research of this alchemical life form (Homunculus). "
