The Overlord of Blood and Iron

Chapter 40






“Waawwww… . . !!!”


“Kang Chul-In, Your Majesty, hooray! Hurray!”


“Your Majesty has defeated the evil monsters!”


“Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!”


The people of Laputa cheered enthusiastically like crazy .


Kang Chul-In shone as a hero in the people’s eyes .


/p>


How troubled you are because of the assault of the wicked Peacock Dragon .


The fear that it might hurt them or their family, was beyond imagination .


The Peacock Dragon, source of their fear, the two of them was dragged in by the men of the Sovereign . Even with the head shattered . No wonder that Kang Chul-In looked like a hero .


Besides, look at the stunning imposing appearance .


Although Peacock Dragon is a subspecies of dragons, but it is definitely a dragon .


Even though he hunted down such monsters, moreover two of them, Kang Chul-In was expressionless and wearied . He even showed they were not a big deal .


Could you not respect such a Sovereign? Could you not love him? No matter what is Kang Chul-In’s nature, in the eyes of his people now, he became a foremost king that will not appear again in history for the second time .


On the other hand, the adventurers were still astonished .


“Actually, what is the true identity of General?”


“Who are these people?”


“Oh my gosh… There was such a castle in Pangea Continent…”


“Majesty? Do you mean The General is a real king?”


Everything was doubtful .


Laputa Fortress, The People of this Land, Kang Chul-In’s real identity, etc… Lots of things were confusing the adventurers . Moreover, because there was no one who can explain it, it was natural that the frustration would grow like a snowball over time .


“Wow… Although I don’t know, but I can see that General was really great . Is he coming from Royal Family? I think even the Queen of England was not as popular as him . ”


“I think so… Where is it… . Ah! Wouldn’t Mr . Kim from the north enjoy it too?”


“This idiot! He’s a dictator! Do you call that as popular?”


“Oops!”


“Look at those people . Look at their expressions . Everyone is just looking at the General . I don’t know whether The General is the king of these people . ”


“Damn it! As long as that man is an earthling… Ah! What, What is that!”


The curiosity and the conversations of the adventurers was just up to there .


“Kyak!”


“The brave warriors ~”


“Thank you! Thank you very much!”


“Come here~ Let’s dance together with me ~”


The ladies of Laputa clung on to the adventurers .


The Adventurers were also heroes for the Laputa’s people . It was reasonable for the ladies to cling on the proud and amazing adventurers .


/p>


“It’s cool!”




“Haha! It was nothing!”


“Thank you, thank you very much . ”


“No, I just did what I had to do . ”


Warm scenes could be seen here and there .


“Young man ~ How can you be so strong? Look at these arms!”


“That, that is… errr…”


“Huh! Where are you going, young man? Young man!”


Dangerous scenes were also produced .


The condition was good .


By eliminating the evil monsters, The Sovereign proved his ability while the adventurers were given a very warm welcome . There is no one who is not happy, everyone was satisfied .


“The crisis has passed . ”


Kang Chul-In watched these scenes silently from the top of the white horse that he usually ride on . Although actually he also was in a good mood, but he did not show it . Being a Sovereign was generally a heavy duty .


“Your… Majesty…?”


“Your Majesty, please give us a chance to celebrate you victory . ”


When Kang Chul-In quietly watched the festive atmosphere, a group of ladies stepped forward into the procession . They were the young ladies of Laputa .


“Hmm?”


Kang Chul-In was embarrassed for a moment .


“Why are there so many?”


It seemed that all ladies from teens and twenties have come to him . The ladies who have come to Kang Chul-In were much more outstanding than the ladies who have come to the adventurers .


“Your Majesty… This is the watch that my late grandfather wore… . ”


“This is a 77 year old Mandrake Liquor . ”


“For the Lord, I devote this body and heart… . ”


“This is a ring that descended from my ancestors for generations . ”


Various ladies gave offering to Kang Chul-In .


There are diverse group .


The ladies with pure heart, the ladies full of lust, the ladies trying to get a chance to succeed, and so on… There were quite varied in goals and desires .


/p>


“Tribute . ”


Kang Chul-In opened his mouth .


“I will accept your heart only . But… . ”


Those who watched him saying this unexpected remark were surprised .


Did he refuse the offering?


Refusing the offerings which offered voluntarily and not by force was a pretty exceptional event . Moreover, ignoring the sincerity of the ladies who offered the tribute was a problem .


“It is not the time to take them now . ”


However, Kang Chul-In had a thought and made a wise judgement .


It didn’t matter with the offerings .


It was Sovereign’s right to receive offerings from the subordinates .


But, the things that weighed his mind the most was the place and the ladies as the subject who gave the offerings .


There is no position that needs someone to be careful and aware of other’s gaze, as much as Sovereign . Those in high status are all like that, but especially Sovereign is the highest position, he had to do it more .


/p>


“There is no free things in the world . Even if it is not a big thing for me, but they are precious things for them . Besides, if that position is open to the public, there will be troublesome things . Every single act of my life here is going to be interpreted as the official Sovereign . ”


For example, let’s say that Kang Chul-In receive the watch from the lady an with orange hair . So, what will happen?


It was the thing that her late-grandfather wore . Despite the price, that watch contains a symbolic meaning . Maybe the lady with orange hair would think that Kang Chul-In accepted her heart .


What if he take the ring that descended for generations?


The lady who offered that ring laughed, but showed her inner feelings in a glimpse . Perhaps she had been pushed by her parents to come out .


What if he takes everything?


If he takes everything like that, it would make gossip . How does he deal with the ladies who offered their body and heart? That would be more troublesome .


The person who became a Sovereign had to doubt even the simple tributes as being suspicious . There were many ladies with pure motives, but the problem is the haughty things within them . Who will be Kang Chul-In’s woman also could be a problem .


Of course, there must be the kind heart within them .


However, it would be unfair to receive only the offerings of a specific individual . But it was not easy to not receive any of it at all . It was obviously a tiring situation in many ways .


Therefore, Kang Chul-In had to show his wisdom .


“You . ”


Kang Chul-In’s finger pointed at the impressive girl with maroon hair . People’s gaze turned to the girl whom Kang Chul-In pointed at once .


“Pardon!”


The surprised girl got in the wind .


“My, my Lord, I… . !”


Rustler’s daughter, Lana, was amazed and confused .


“I will accept yours . That tribute, gave it to me . ”


Said Kang Chul-In .


“My, my Lord… This… is very… . tacky…”


“It’s fine . ”


“Then… My…my lord… I…will…give you…this thing…I made…by myself… . ”


Lana’s offering was a flower wreath that looked like a necklace and made of wild flowers . As a matter of fact, based on price, her offering was the cheapest among all .


/p>


However, Kang Chul-In’s choice was correct and wise .


“Why…is he choose that?”


“A wreath made of wildflowers… I offer this to you, lord!”


“A little lady and her flower wreath! It seems you will only take the pure heart only!”


As Kang Chul-In has chosen to take only the wreath of the little lady, he rejected the talk that he will ignore all of the sincerity, and dealt with the problem about women . The past Kang Chul-In would not have taken such a sophisticated political stance .


“I’d rather be in a battlefield a hundred times . ”


While thinking about that, Kang Chul-In get down the horse and headed towards Lana .


But…


Plop .


Lana has collapsed .


“……”


Just by thinking of standing close to the Sovereign, would surely make somebody faint .


“…Lucia . ”


“Yes, lord . ”


“Take that child to her parents and hang the wreath on the horse saddle . ”


Kang Chul-In found a suitable compromise because he could not hang the wreath on his neck .


“Let’s go . ”


Leaving behind the minor incident behind, Kang Chul-In climbed on his white horse with the wreath and headed towards the inside of the land .


#


Even after he arrived at the Sovereign’s hall, Kang Chul-In did not rest .


First, he ordered Timothy to give the Slayers the land’s first-class pass and paid for the accommodations and food


/p>


After that, he personally met the bereaved families of those lost in the Peacock Dragon’s hunting, he came with informality, comforted them and paid the compensation .


He also met Commander James .


He received some awards because he was able to protect the land safely while Kang Chul-In was away .


The awards for Lucia, Podorski, and 10 elite soldiers were postponed . They had to received the bigger award, to take a break now is the first award .


“Be generous with alcohol and food . Let’s not be hungry for today . ”


Lastly, Kang Chul-In ordered the festival to commemorate the Peacock Dragon subjugation . It was the one thing he can do to lift the mourning and sorrows of the people and to raise the happiness to the highest level .


“Huu . . ”


Kang Chul-In, who had done all of this work, was finally able to sit down on the throne and take a deep breathe while looked like perfectly ripe green onion kimchi . The sound of singing praising the glory of Sovereign came loosely as if the festival had begun outside .


“Let’s check this one last thing and rest . ”


Lastly, open [My Information] items .

―――――――――――――――――


I have grown quite a lot .


Start from the level, it was from level 25, then hunting male Peacock Dragon +2,


While clearing the Secret Quest +1,


Ingested the Dragon Heart +2,


Then by killing the female Peacock Dragon +1 level, total it raised 6 levels, so it reached level 31 .


As the effect of Dragon Heart the total amount of mana has also increased to 800 .


In addition to this, if he eats Dragon Heart of the female Peacock Dragon, he can gain up to 1 . 5 level of the experience and mana .


Moreover, since he obtained 70P of Sovereign Points in this hunting, it would be more advantageous for him in the ranking competition of Grand Sovereign .


“Great . Now, if I can resolve the financial situation of the land, I can do conquest immediately . ”


Everything was fine except the lack of gold coins being the only obstacle . He was planning on getting the whole eastern plains of Dongjun right after finishing in the finances .


It was that time .


Urgh!


The pain began to spread out when the stitching on his side burst again .


“Now… I really need to get rest . ”


In a three-week hunt, he battled with the Peacock Dragon, he has done a variety of work with the serious injury on his body . If it happened to the others, they would have collapsed ten times at least .


“Your Majesty!”


It was when Kang Chul-In was trying to take the lid off the potion held to his mouth .


“Mr . . Mr . Dorian!”


Lucia ran in a hurry and told him the bad news . It was a news that similar to a Death Sentence to Kang Chul-In, who was trying to be able to breathe .


It was very interesting!


Author’s words
