-

Good morning.

Hello, Lady Rebecca.

Morning!

This sword

can slay evil dragons in the sky and mince cabbages on earth.

It is also a useful farming tool.

I'll give you a friendly discount.

It's yours at 50% off.

Behold this pot!

This is...

As long as you rub this pot

in the dead of the night,

there's a 10% chance a Wishing Fairy will appear!

Fairy?

I'm offering you a best friend discount,

I'll sell it to you at 20% of the price.

For rare antiques and secret royal treasures,

you can come buy from me next time.

Master,

I also have a treasure here.

Can you take a look at it for me?

- Let's go. - Come on, hurry.

Appraising antiques is also part of my trade.

Friend, what do you want to appraise?

This.

It has never slayed an evil dragon

nor cut vegetables,

or is it useful when farming.

However,

it has slayed aberrants.

You...

Hope you don't mind.

Well...

Nature seems to be urgently calling.

Let me go take a piss first.

Hey, old man.

I've brought you your new boss.

Now that you follow him,

you'll have to lead an honest life.

Pittman Laurent,

a self-proclaimed druid

with extensive experience in agriculture.

It took me a great effort

to catch hold of him.

Five types of insurance, one house and food are provided.

Welcome to the new Citadel of Cecil.

By using the Magic Network,

the domain started to produce mana.

In simpler terms,

mana can ease the burden on the residents

and increase work efficiency.

And the Magic Network can automatically absorb

magic power from nature

and charges up the formations that are currently in use.

With it going on like this,

the development of the domain

can continue expanding.

But now we face a problem.

A disaster is soon upon us.

A disaster is soon upon us?

Yes.

That's right.

What's next?

Well...

If it's about more money, then we can discuss it directly.

You can save those words.

Don't go.

I deal in a variety of trades.

We can negotiate for a good deal.

Then, do you know how to farm?

Farming?

To settle down, first cultivate the land.

Without food, the mind gets worried.

My dad--

People in my era had this habit.

So we asked a well-connected shadow master

to find a druid.

Show me your power, Master.

Sure, sure.

For Amber's sake,

this bottle

is free of charge.

Not bad.

Looks like you really are a druid.

Are you close to Amber?

Amber?

I'm the one who brought her up.

You're her father?

No, no. I'm a...

friend of her foster father.

When she was little, we made a plan

to train her into an outstanding professional

who works in the shadows.

Looks like that went really well.

It's no wonder.

In any case, Pittman is at your service.

Moving on...

What's next?

I'm making you the agricultural consultant.

You can first examine the land.

But, my lord.

The problem might not be in the land.

Ratio... ratio...

Which ore should I use?

Not this one.

Who is there?

Byron?

So it's you.

Lady Rebecca.

It's dangerous

to be out on your own.

I was quite worried

but now you're here.

What were you doing?

Lord Galway wants me to look into something called cement.

Cement?

Not this one.

Yes, the lord said

it is faster and more stable

to build using cement

than with wood and stone.

I clearly followed the formula

but I just can't get it to work.

This is much more complicated than the Magic Network.

Magic Network?

You don't know the theory behind it, right?

The Magic Network breaks down a big magic formation

into smaller formations

and distributed like a network.

Just like this.

By using a type of magic power

to connect the network,

every small formation

will receive a steady and sustainable supply of magic power.

What happens if you remove one from the network?

It's fine if it's missing one or two.

If it's too many, the Magic Network will become paralyzed

and might even cause chaos in the magic flow.

The domain will even explode.

I see.

My lady.

It must have been really hard on you alone

to hold up this entire Magic Network.

Not at all.

According to Lord Ancestor,

this is what the chief architect should do.

Byron, give me a hand.

Byron.

Where is he?

It's been a while,

Lord Byron.

Bathia,

what are you doing?

Old rules.

The battle ends when the tenth bell rings.

If you're still alive by then,

I will tell you.

That's just the third bell.

You monster.

I'll turn into her and fight you.

Aren't you happy?

Shh.

Rebecca.

Aunt, come help me.

Aunt?

Who would've imagined that the noble knight

is actually a...

You maniac!

That's the sixth bell.

Time's up.

How unfortunate.

You lost.

You must know

that no one can stop us from doing what we want.

If you try to stop us again,

I will kill you.

I forgot.

You're actually more afraid

of having your true identity revealed, right?

Byron, where did you go?

Where's Aunt? I heard her calling for me.

You must've heard wrongly, my lady.

Rebecca, come back now.

Something's happening to the domain.

Yes, my lord. I'm on my way.

Let's go, Byron.

My lord,

magic can make people rich but also lazy.

Since magic can replace physical labor,

isn't it much better to just lie down?

Lord Ancestor,

what's wrong?

Out of more than 300 residents,

there only about 100 residents

who are willing to take on missions.

About 100?

What about the others?

Why don't you listen to their answers?

I think

there's just not enough metal no matter how much I smelt.

What has that got to do with me?

Food? Of course we have enough food.

Just throw the leftovers.

How much do they cost?

Do it! Go!

Why are we collecting so much materials?

Town of Tanzan aren't accepting them anyway.

- Come on, go! - Hold it!

Pathfinder?

I'm already happy enough.

I don't need to risk my life as a pathfinder.

This...

The residents have a sudden change in mind.

This is strange.

Some say magic power is unfairly distributed,

so their magic power got stolen by others.

Some even say

the Magic Network is unsafe and has hidden effects,

thus they refuse to use it.

How do you do?

Rebecca,

from now onward,

you and Philip are to strengthen the Magic Network's security

and prevent any accidents.

Yes, Lord Ancestor.

I'll bet two gold coins

that someone must have said your beard is unkempt,

like a vagrant.

There's a problem with the wind direction within the domain.

Wind direction?

The specialty of Dark Mountains,

Unholy Wind,

can affect people's minds.

This wind originally blew towards the unpopulated jungle

but someone has redirected it here.

I see.

What is the countermeasure?

Fishing.

My lord,

why don't I drive out a few of

those lazy slackers?

Or maybe have two knights

hold them down?

You're holding no one down.

They are gradually being enlightened.

It's a great thing to have their own opinion.

You call this opinion?

Doubt and rebellion.

These are unavoidable during the development of a domain.

They just need the right guidance.

Yes, yes, yes.

Without your guidance, my lord,

we would've all gone missing one by one

on the path of ignorance.

Hello, my lord. Are you there?

Speak.

Two residents have gone missing.

Missing?

Heaven's Eye really found them.

Stay alert.

Looks like there is someone

who doesn't wish for your development to go smoothly.

This is the work of one person.

It's too early

to draw a conclusion.

Heidi.

Activate the highest alert

within the entire domain for war preparation.

Start the first trial

of the heat ray gun.

Unlock all magic armor.

A disaster is upon us.

His words are a divine decree

that bless us.

The holy light that streaks across the darkness of nothingness

illuminates us.

Holy God of Light,

I am your follower,

Veronica.
