Duke’s Quadruplets Are All Overpowered Chapter 81

81

The atmosphere suddenly became cold.

The throat is about to tear.

The lords seemed to be trying hard to hide their boiling feelings.

“Why are you treating us like this?”

I answered in a cheerful voice without losing my smile.

“haha! Why are you surprised? Oh, did I really threaten the lords?

And I slowly looked around. The power of the runaway Cheonan Tong is gradually improving, but it is still much stronger than I thought. My eyes make me see things I would never see. Distance doesn’t matter. There is no problem as long as it looks fragmentary.

“That’s fascinating. About fifty people?”

The lords who understood my words only made the sound of swallowing in silence. Some even let out a single moan. They tried to pretend to be calm, but they were very embarrassed. I looked around at the faces of the lords with a satisfied face and put on an eyepatch. Then he sat down and spoke in a soft voice.

“You’re asking what would happen if you killed all the demons. “I wanted to ask the opinions of the lords of the Free Cities, who have insight that is incomparable to mine.”

Even though I showed a humble attitude, once the tension was pulled, it was not easy to let go. The five lords were silent and looked at the representative, but he was also deep in thought and did not answer my question. I placed my hands neatly together, rested my chin, and looked at their expressions. The most important thing in negotiations is information. There’s no way they don’t know about me. Melkaran’s claim for compensation? It’s bullshit. They lured me with a huge sum of 200 million gallons, but what they really wanted was probably information about me. When I saw him in person, he seemed to be more cautious than I expected, but there were more sloppy things.

Still, it’s a public place, so how dare you manipulate someone behind my back?

“There’s no way the lords wouldn’t know about me, or even about Reinberg’s children.”

I warned you.

“Don’t try to pretend.”

I meant it.

“You won’t be able to take personal revenge.”

An unpleasant silence filled the living room.

It was Lord Taren who spoke first.

“Just in case.”

He twitched his goatee and began to speak slowly.

“If we had been petty and retaliated against the Kunkan Empire… … .”

Taren’s remarks are dangerous. Even if you preface your statement with the assumption that it is ‘just in case’. But no one sitting here cared.

“Building materials and heating engines distributed throughout the empire, parts for trains and internal combustion engines to be introduced in the future, as well as most mechanical devices used by the common people all depend on the technology and productivity of the Free Cities. The design of the great wall being built in the north also requires the design of engineers and architects from the Free Cities. Our city also has a significant share of funds and jobs for the national projects planned in Cunkan. Of course, it won’t break down easily. However, just in case, we also start imposing sanctions to inflict economic damage on the empire, at the risk of great losses… … .”

A very dangerous statement.

If my father had heard, he might have hit his head.

“If the starting point was the selfishness of the individual, not the nation, would that individual really be able to take responsibility for everything?”

“There is no need to be polite and threaten. “That’s why I respect you.”

But my attitude remained the same.

“But don’t be too overconfident. “I believe you guys know.”

Economic power and technological power are the most powerful weapons.

But this world is twisted. The biggest cause of distortion is the devil. If magic, the technology of the Free City, and the level of social consciousness were all connected, this world would have grown explosively, like the modern Earth. Thanks to a mysterious force, industrialization may have flowed in an unexpected direction, but it would certainly have been able to take off at a stronger and more prosperous level than it is now.

However, currently, the overall level of society in this world is very low.

As if there is a limit to growth, when you reach a certain level and try to move on to the next level, you suddenly collapse. After experiencing ancient empires from thousands of years ago, my thoughts were transformed into conviction. The cities of thousands of years ago and modern cities are not much different. The development of technology has been at its current level for a long time.

There is only one reason.

It was not the will of humanity itself that set the limit.

devil.

During the Great War, Kunkan’s history came to a halt.

The glorious history of the empire began by devouring the surrounding kingdoms, and when society was about to flourish, demons and impersonators appeared. As long as there are pretenders, this world cannot develop. The obvious enemy of man, the devil. I thought that defense was more important than any other factor in this world, including economy, politics, technology, and culture. The natural enemy is so certain. As long as there are demons that oppose and prey on humanity, the limits of humanity become clear.

I know it well.

It was like that in my past life too.

Things that happened as humanity went through the path of destruction.

How many years has the iPhone been discontinued?

But what if.

In this world.

If only there was a way to completely eradicate the devil.

or.

If a being capable of that appears.

How much is it worth?

“I can tell impersonators apart.”

After the attack, Count Sternil and his father announced that the Children of the Moon could identify impersonators. It is already widely known in the Kunkan Empire. It was also the reason why I was called the Pillar of Dawn. Of course, the twins can’t tell the impersonators apart, but the others don’t know that. The ‘Moon Children’ are already revered as heroes.

Even in other countries across the continent.

There’s no way you don’t know that fact.

Moreover, how could the lords of the Free Cities, who are sensitive to profit and loss, not know?

So they used the unpleasant method of claiming damages to get information about me.

“The more you research how Melkaran became a green space, the more amazing you will be.”

Surprisingly, this response was quite quick.

Lord Taren returned to his smiling face, stood up, bowed his head, and spoke. She rewrote the Indukal. His voice was gentle, unlike when he had just threatened.

“It was a great honor to meet you. I hope to see you often in the future. “Please think of the 900 million gal as a gift from us to Confucius, not for some trivial reason like compensation or anything like that.”

“Okay, it’s a gift! Reinberg’s children never forget grace.”

In the end, it became the place for the ‘small talk’ he spoke of.

They may be more annoying in the future, but at least they will be polite.

In some cases, it may become a reliable ally.

Of course, everything depends on profit and loss.

“And there’s one more thing I would like to ask you.”

The next suggestion I made was:

For the lords, it was a more heartbreaking story than 900 million gal.

* * *

The wheels rattle and roll at high speed.

The driver who was driving the horse was surprised. I saw a strange carriage that was much faster than a carriage even though it had no horses. The speed of the horses was not slow, but before I knew it, the horseless carriage was crossing the road and passing the ridge.

“How did you detect the shadow device?”

Inside the vehicle.

The six lords took off their caps and revealed the faces of the beasts.

The one with the face of a crocodile spoke, his sharp teeth chattering fiercely.

“You also deceived the Master’s feelings. Was the organ damaged during transportation?”

The one with the face of a baboon said.

“Ask all the spies deployed to come back.”

“But the cost…” … .”

“Did you see his eyes?”

Even before he had his current face, he was called Wonwangnohu. The reason he willingly planted the monkey’s character when receiving Talma’s renovation was because he liked his nickname. He was as wise as an old monkey and very selfish.

He even put his family in danger for his own gain.

Overcoming numerous dangers with the lives of others rather than his own, he gradually developed a keener sense of his own body than anyone else. He can distinguish between enemies who threaten him. This was a magical ability, and it was the reason he became the representative and decision maker of the Free Cities lords.

“These are not the eyes of a little boy.”

That’s him.

When I met the eyes of the 15-year-old Confucius who took off his eyepatch.

He felt more fear than any threat he had ever faced.

A cold fear, as if a knife was about to be inserted into one’s throat.

He evaded the master swordsman’s pursuit. The Archmage’s rage also cooled down. Even the devils could not fool him. It easily overcame the checks of the kingdom, which coveted the technology and capital of the Free City. It was all thanks to the ‘feel’ he had honed as an old monkey.

That ‘feel’ told me.

He was wise and could not dare to ignore the feeling that had brought him to this position.

Never let it be your enemy.

It is not because he is Reinberg’s prince.

The lord of the Free City is of humble origin.

They are not those who give in to grandeur and fame.

I just worship ability.

There was one more person who sympathized with Lord Taren’s thoughts.

He was an old man who did not say a word even during the meeting.

When he took off his cape, he was a beast with cunning eyes like a snake.

“Really, the reason he’s scary is because of what will happen in the future.”

“You knew.”

“When the day comes when their value is recognized, their existence will reach an absolute position in today’s society. From that moment on, whatever they do is acceptable. If, a year later, you meet Confucius, you join in the same position as you do now. “If Confucius spreads false rumors that he killed us all and was an impersonator, who will verify it?”

“… “Do you think you can kill us?”

The wild boar spoke in an angry voice.

“Have you forgotten what we were trying to achieve by putting on this hideous appearance?”

“You always assume the worst. “Why are you so crazy?”

The wild boar grits its fangs at the crocodile’s taunts.

“You coward.”

“Hmph, what does a mercenary babbler know?”

The one who was a mercenary king.

And the leader of the Talma Division.

The two had an acrimonious relationship as they fought over the right to command the mounted soldiers.

“What are we going to do by fighting among ourselves?”

The two swallowed their anger at the snake’s intervention.

“I’ll have to revise my calculations as soon as I get back to the city. Polestar Confucius also needs to be upgraded to the same level as the ‘other twins’. The incident where the magic tower burned down, the incident where King Jeolgye died from a single blow, and… Saint.

This Melkaran incident, like the incident they caused, was beyond causality. “You should dismiss it as an error and always think of it as a priority in your calculations.”

“Damn, there’s that annoying bastard again. It was better when there were only ‘a few wonders’, including the 13 swords and the elders.”

“… “What will the future hold?”

The monkey sighed.

children of the moon

The world has been in upheaval since their birth.

In a very bad way.

‘If they are really the ones who will exterminate the devil, I might become a piece of myth.’

Later.

Thousands of years later,

When the future comes that this era will be on the first page of history books.

It will be clear that the current era will be recorded as the most sacred and fierce era.
