Chapter 266
Episode 266:
Songwol’s proposal!
Songwol was hoping to improve his relationship with X Explorer. They had forgotten all the big and small feelings of the past and wanted true harmony.
I couldn’t understand it as a person with a severe ex.
‘Why did you break me like that? ‘Isn’t it strange?’
He has a personality that can’t survive being dealt a blow.
X forgot about his training for a moment and read the whisper he received from Asus.
As expected, as Asus said, it was showing a completely downturned attitude.
“I was mistaken. “I hurled quite a few curses, but there was no comment?”
At Asus’s words, X began to have reasonable doubts.
‘What damage will I receive if I get hit in the back of the head?’
X does not trust others easily. So, I first thought about the loss of being betrayed.
First of all, there was no direct threat.
Who is X?
He is the only player at level 700 who is overwhelmingly the strongest. As the Gourmet King’s Secret Technique and various items were acquired, the difference in class shown during the Siege of Veneta became even wider.
‘Well, the only one caught right now is Xernis.’
Territory Xernis!
If there was anything to worry about, that was it. Of course, Xernis had a reputation as the best tourist destination in Fate.
Thanks to the resident-friendly policies of the acting lord Zaul, it was also selected as a good territory to live in.
‘If you’re targeting Xernis, it’s self-destruction.’
It is impossible to imagine the criticism that Fajukjise will receive. Moreover, the natural fortress of Xernis is full of natural warriors.
It was not a land that would easily collapse even if a surprise attack was made. Asus, who had been silent, took notice.
“Oh, bloody eyes! Would you like me to reply for you? “Get out of here right now?”
X shook his head.
“No, wait a minute.”
So, X tried to think differently. If Songwol’s offer is sincere, what was Songwol aiming for in proposing friendship?
The answer was surprisingly simple.
“…You’re aiming for the main quest.”
A main quest intertwined with other beings!
That was all I could think about right now. Asus was shocked and lowered his voice.
“You haven’t received the main quest yet, have you?”
“okay. But if things continue like this, it’s only a matter of time. Just as an incident occurred on the East Continent, an incident will also occur on the Arba Continent. “It’s a big incident that can’t even be compared to the Black Legion.”
“That will be the start of the main quest?”
Nod.
X was sure. I don’t know when that will happen, but I believe there will be a crisis on the entire Arba continent. At that time, even ordinary players will have to prepare to face other beings.
‘It’s a united front with the Pajukjise.’
If you think about it, there was a lot to gain.
The strongest guild is in ruins!
First of all, there is Songwol, which is ranked 2nd in the mage rankings. X, who clashed fists with Songwol, knew well the fear of the player named Songwol.
‘For the sake of the group, we will do whatever it takes.’
If I were to be on the same side as Songwol… I didn’t think I would lose anything.
In addition, Pajukjise’s power is so incredible that he can call himself the strongest in Fate, excluding X.
‘Even Arba and Kaimus couldn’t avoid that check.’
The Explorer has a lot of special resources and other truly incredible combat resources.
Even if there was a large-scale battle with White Mask White Paper, it seemed like he wouldn’t be defeated.
A smile gradually spread across X’s face.
‘Furthermore, the power of other beings cannot be stopped by individual power. There will definitely come a time when even 10 bodies are not enough. Trustworthy allies… No, the more allies you have, the better.’
Isn’t X who worked hard to manage his image for him? In addition to the passionate viewers of the Eating Alone Alliance, Pajukjise joins.
There was no situation more reassuring than this. Of course there was a problem. X opened his mouth.
“Vague trust breeds anger.”
“I was almost disappointed why you didn’t say that.”
I will not trust anyone easily. If I’m going to get stabbed in the head, I’d rather eat it all by myself, even if it means making me feel bad while eating it!
X does not easily forget a lesson once learned. X smiled at Asus.
“Good, let’s go for a strategic alliance this time.”

Supernova Xernis in the northern part of the Arba Continent!
Xernis could be said to have reached its peak since the eternal cold passed.
Noisy! Day and night, the heat did not cool down in the streets of Xernis.
“Wow, the Dongle people! Wow, a ghost!”
“I came here to find a priest. It’s much better than what I heard, right?”
“So you’re telling me to settle down too? Taxes are also very cheap.”
“…Should I buy a real building and settle down?”
Truly paradise on earth!
Players came to Xernis for their own reasons, but it was hard to find anyone who was disappointed.
It was all thanks to Jaul, who perfectly filled the lord’s vacant position.
A library nearing completion of restoration.
Zawl looked around with satisfaction.
“It will be of great help to modern scholars. “It goes without saying that it will be helpful to X.”
Books from the Old Kingdom!
Books about more advanced technologies, books about magic, and even books about forgotten races.
A treasure trove of ancient knowledge is ready to be revealed to the world. Of course, final approval from X is required before opening.
“We can’t leave out our greedy lord.”
Sssss.
Jaul headed to the former royal palace and the current lord’s space. From there, you can see Xernis at a glance.
A granary area visible beyond the bustling city center!
At the far end of the horizon, a glacier that had not yet melted was visible. I thought of the ice spirit who was displaying his abilities on the glacier. It wasn’t just spirits.
“Everyone, including you, is working hard in their respective positions.”
administration.
Safety.
diplomacy.
Thanks to this, everything was going smoothly. However, there were some things that made it impossible to just be happy that things were going well.
Numerous sheaves of rice piled up in the golden granary area. There was no such thing as a good harvest that would forever remain in history.
This was thanks to the explosion of the runestone’s influence, which had been suppressed so far. Zawl held his head.
“For the sake of farmers, the market price cannot be lowered any further. However, even after exporting to nearby villages, a huge amount of crops remained. “I never thought there would come a day when I would worry about having a good harvest for the rest of my life.”
But Zawl’s worries did not last long.
Softly, softly.
Sioras’ paper cranes flying from afar. Jaul, who had been pondering, raised his head.
“I guess I should at least listen to your news to clear my head.”
What was heard from the paper crane was Sioras’ voice.
X is constantly training, so he is just conveying X’s wishes on his behalf. As soon as Sioras finished speaking, Jaul muttered in disbelief.
“…Are there really people who would buy up all this surplus crops? And at the highest price?”

Strategic alliances!
Hwang Jin-chun was slightly offended by Asus’s response. What is so disappointing about our poor terrain that we have to show a low attitude towards the Explorer?
Hwang Jin-chun pouted slightly.
“I understand X, but this Asus guy is really….”
He’s rude and his mouth is rough.
On the other hand, Songwol’s expression was brighter. Currently, Songwol was heading to his territory. Because Hansi was busy with things to take care of.
‘Hehe, you took my request seriously.’
Indeed, X was the man he recognized. I immediately got to the point and got straight to the point.
We will form a strategic alliance, so let’s sign a contract to prove it. In fact, whatever the contract was, it was welcomed from Songwol’s perspective.
A different being!
Because I was one step closer to becoming the person I had set as my goal. Songwol, filled with joy, held on to the reins. I remembered the contents of the contract again.
Did we connect our hearts?
Hwang Jin-chun, who was following him, gave an explanation.
“Please purchase Xernis’ surplus crops at a ‘sincere’ price. Are these really all the requirements? Well, from our point of view, there is nothing to regret at all…”
It’s a disaster with so many territories and soldiers!
Even excluding guild members, the amount of food invested to feed the people and soldiers of the territory was unusual. Complete self-sufficiency is practically impossible.
Did you even read the inside story?
X made such a requirement. Deep down, Songwol felt grateful to X.
“It might be deeper than it looks.”
“yes?”
“no. “Let’s deal with it quickly.”
Swish swish.
Songwol arrived at the office and immediately wrote down the power of attorney. I will send a power of attorney to the quick-witted person and hasten to purchase Xernis’ crops! Before X changes his mind.
“They showed sincerity, so we should also show sincerity.”
The purchase price is naturally the highest! Even if you use gold, the gains you get are much greater.
However, it was only a few hours later that Songwol regretted that decision.
Hwang Jin-chun, his face white in a hurry, ran to Songwol.
Songwol asked, wondering if it could be possible.
“Great captain.”
“…Did X change his words?”
“Gasp. That’s not it. “It’s not…”
Hwang Jin-chun took out the completed sales contract and showed it. Rattling. His voice was truly shaking.
“The guild funds we’ve been saving up for so long are going to run out completely? There are times when there are good harvests. That land is a crazy land, boss. “The surplus crops are enough to spread across the entire Arba continent!!”
*
“Hahaha.”
Space of mind and time.
A sinister laughter echoes there. X was enjoying the joy, forgetting about his training for a moment.
“Is it possible to be this happy even with a win-win strategy? No, no matter how much I think about it, I think I’ve become nicer. “You’re truly happy after doing something good for someone else.”
Shameless itself!
Although X was the one who really hit Songwol in the back, he didn’t feel guilty. I just asked them to purchase it at a reasonable, sincere price, but they were the ones who asked for the highest price.
‘One less headache.’
From Songwol’s perspective, there is bound to be dissatisfaction. But that’s just a minor complaint that can’t be talked about anywhere.
Because they cannot blame others for their mistakes. Still, X had the last bit of conscience left.
“Well, anyway, we’re all on the same boat.”
There was a need to explain the current trend in line with the strategic alliance relationship.
Proper use of sticks and carrots! X immediately sent a friend request to Songwol and whispered to her.
-The area where you hit me during Veneta is throbbing today?
“You have a sense of humor and you live young for your age.”
Middle-aged player Songwol!
Watching him calmly let go of his anger, I thought he had excellent emotional control skills for his age. X muttered, swallowing his laughter.
“Let’s meet again once the East Continent business is finished.”
The story was too long to share in a whisper.
It’s an incident related to the main story’s main quest, so it’s only natural. Songwol also responded willingly.
However, Songwol had something to do right away. It might not have been possible for other players, but it was something Songwol could have done.
Naturally, it included the meaning of keeping other common enemies in check.
-I guess keeping other beings in check is something I should do.
Following Songwol’s answer, X got straight to the point.
“Let’s stop all ongoing sieges right now.”
Unnecessary confusion must be put to rest!
It was the moment when the legend of a great guardian of peace beyond a great player began.
