I entered the game in advance and found that I was invincible

Commitment not to attack each other's territory.Any breach of the treaty requires 30 days' notice, during which time no aggressive action can be taken.

This is a treaty with the Demon King.

A pact with the evil egg that he will one day defeat.However, for Long Xiangtian, who currently has a lot to do, this is not a bad idea.

It's not too late to take care of Beria again.

Okay, then let's make a non-aggression agreement.

thank you then i
Wait, but there's one more thing.

What's the matter?

Lift the curse placed on Darius.

He needed someone to protect Erica in his absence, and Darius was the best person he could think of.

Oh, you mean the grey-haired mercenary?Sure, I'm going to do it now.

But couldn't he take the sword off first?

Amanda sighed as she looked down at Versailles who was greedily absorbing her demon energy.

***
Shortly after Amanda went to report to the master, the civil war was over, resulting in a total victory for Erica.

Sebastian was caught trying to flee the city in a horse-drawn carriage and beheaded.However, the vortex in the deep sea managed to escape back to their ship, and escaped from the predicament immediately.

Too bad he couldn't kill Blackbeard.

His conversation with Amanda took longer than he expected, so he completely forgot about him.

At least he managed to sign a treaty with Demon King Beria, which is quite beneficial to him at the moment.

It is also impossible for Blackbeard to return here to show his face in a short time.

Luo, who succeeded the captain of Barbarossa's fleet, shook hands with Long Xiangtian.

Although he came a bit, late, he played an important role in ending the Civil War, and also signed a treaty with Erica.

For Long Xiangtian, he is definitely an acquaintance worthy of forming a relationship with him.

I hope you can take care of Blackbeard instead of me.

I swear in front of Sea God that I will hunt him down until the end of the world and end his miserable life.Otherwise, Captain Barbarossa will have no peace.

Lowe had been Frederick's closest confidant and first mate.

As he returned to sea with his Sea Serpent's Wrath crew, Erika approached.

Fortunately, everything went well.

Now you are the ruler of the city.

But this is not a good thing, if the burden I have to bear has increased.

Erica has been working hard to help the poor in the city.She also had a tough time when she was younger, so she can empathize with their situation.

You will do well.

Thank you, but all this is due to your help, Long Xiangtian.

Erica gave him a big smile, her hair blown by the wind.

She was such a pure girl it reminded him of another woman he knew.

Maybe we can meet again.

He had lost one of many in the past, however this time it would have a different outcome.

Let's go back and discuss your future plans.

Great, we can have tea too.

Black tea is quite fashionable in blue indium high society.

Long Xiangtian and Erica walked back together, and the cries of seagulls began to fade away.

After the victory of the civil war, Long Xiangtian and his party took a short breath.

After a long voyage, everyone is still very tired, and there are still many things to do in Lanzhou.

One of them is to find a training class.

By visiting trainers scattered across the city, they can perform quests that reward them with standard classes, such as apprentice knight, apprentice mage, or apprentice ranger.

The same goes for if they visit an artisan or alchemist guild.Depending on their respective abilities, various options are available.After joining, you can also learn some valuable information from your guild colleagues.

With Erica's favor, Long Xiangtian and his subordinates can enjoy such benefits in the whole city.Speaking of Long Xiangtian and his party, although she is busy with work, she can always spare some time.

Together they overcame the latest catastrophe, earning him a powerful ally.

In the next few days, everyone was busy, and while Long Xiangtian was flipping through Nakron's magic book, he stopped to check himself-

not bad.

All the growth items he obtained in the primeval forest have been upgraded by one level.While they aren't gaining any new effects, the data boosts they provide are starting to pay off.

When they reach the highest level, even if they are added to the organization scroll, he will not suffer.

Of course, if you are a skilled blacksmith, you can break them down into raw materials to make higher-level utensils.It's a pity that even Dexter, the legendary legendary blacksmith, probably hasn't reached such a level at this stage.

Basically that means, in the short term, he'll be using his items to share experience to fuel his own growth.

I should also get used to Asura's ability.

Even if mana has become a part of him now, it doesn't mean that he can easily cast mana.

It is similar to the qi used by warriors in Molin, but its power is more pure
This means that if he pushes himself to the limit, he can end up in the dark without fully mastering it.

His weapon, Verserios, was for the same reason he had to guard against.

If he lost control of such a sword with the ability to absorb the souls of others, it could lead to a catastrophe.

For now I should just be content with being able to wield it.

He has to practice every day like those martial artists in Mo Lin, and increase his mastery of new energy bit by bit.

After closing his basic statistics page, Long Xiangtian turned around and saw Aris lying on the bed.

Ah~ Ashura, come here~.

Although she has the appearance of a teenage girl, she doesn't act that age at all.After all, her lifespan is several times longer than that of ordinary people.

Do monsters also have estrous periods?
No. Who cares?Nobody's here, just come over and we can enjoy the moment.

While humming to himself, Aris pulled Long Xiangtian over, thinking that he would finally give in.

Just then, the door opened and Refina walked in.

Everything is ready, my lord.

Great.

At Erica's request, Long Xiangtian and his party were setting off for the Northeast Defense Camp.

They were doing escort missions for Erica, who was in a tight financial situation and really needed this deal to go through.

Long Xiangtian agreed to this request, because he had to pass there anyway on the way.

Dad, I don't want to leave Ali.

Leah who came with Refina hugged Long Xiangtian's leg and cried.

She likes Ali.

Ali would be better here.

Long Xiangtian comforted her while stroking her blond hair.He has been a little worried about her character, because she is a dragon after all, but she seems to be quite gentle at heart.

As long as it doesn't hurt her heart, she will grow up well.Of course, this does not mean that he is willing to spoil her.

Mother!Wow!

Leah ran to Rafina, who wailed.Lefina would just hug her back and try to comfort her.

Don't cry, we can come back to see her when we have a chance.

really?
Of course, we can come back and play when we have time, just the two of us.

Lefina's parenting skills are improving day by day.Soon, others will even mistake her for Liya's real mother.

Lia wiped away her tears, and Long Xiangtian walked out.Near the entrance, he found Lee Jae-sung waiting for them with the rest of the team.

Those who decided to leave gathered here.

Let's go then.

Some of those who joined them decided to stay in the Blue Indium instead, forging their own paths.

Long Xiangtian accepted their decision and only asked to receive regular updates through their unified ring.

Even if he went to another province, it wouldn't be a bad idea to leave some subordinates in Landium as his eyes and ears.

When they walked outside the mansion, they found a caravan and waiting mercenaries.

It seems that this time is going to be goodbye after all, really nice to meet you.

Erica came to see Long Xiangtian off and stood there stroking Ali who was in her arms.

If you need anything, just send me a letter.

The Unification Ring, which allows people to communicate over long distances, is generally only given to players who are summoned to this world.

However, Lefina, Aris, and Irene are exceptions, because they are considered rewards obtained in the canyon stage of the tutorial.

Elijah!
After Long Xiangtian and his party climbed onto their respective horses, the leading groom rang the whip, and they set off.

A new journey begins again.

Although he had already established a considerable advantage over any other players, Long Xiangtian still couldn't help being a little nervous, because his direction was not the one he had taken in the past.

With the dispatch of the convoy, a long line of carriages stretched along the road.

In the province of Ionia to the east of the capital of the Rhine Kingdom, there is a vast plain.It has been mainly developed into a farming area, and the food produced is enough to meet the consumption of the capital for a year.

This is also a strategic location for the military. In order to ensure the stability of the region and the safety of food supply, they built several outposts and guard camps.

Since the east coast of the Rhine Kingdom is flanked by the Cocas Mountains, the Northeast Garrison Battalion has a denser force than other garrison battalions.

This area has been a hot topic in the past, as the Colchas Mountains are home to numerous monsters.

Long ago, this was the home of dragons, but since dragons went to another plane, no dragon has claimed these mountains.

The Kingdom of the Rhine discovered this and organized a punitive expedition.However, despite their many attempts to clean up the monsters, no positive results have been seen yet.

If that's all it is, it's no big deal.But to make matters worse, the monster comes down from the mountain once a year, wreaking havoc on villages along the way as it moves westward before heading south again.

For this reason the Northeast Gate is considered to be on the front line.

It must be a lucrative business.

Landium's merchant groups can reap healthy profits as their exclusive trading partners.Since Callis fell, Erica will now be the one who stands to benefit the most from it.If she can secure this deal, her place as Landium's number one dog will be secured for quite some time.

A power struggle will soon begin.

Long Xiangtian stared at the golden field, recalling the past.

Many lives have been lost here due to clashes between rival clans.If the overlords at that time could quickly come to the negotiating table to resolve it, the tragedy of countless deaths could have been avoided.

However, Long Xiangtian still has more urgent things to consider than achieving peace in the continent of Ace.

First, I need to gather all the materials.

The seven materials required to refine the Rainbow Ring are all unique.

In the case of Isaac, most of them were acquired much later, or bought from others.But Long Xiangtian was unwilling to let it develop.First, it may take too long, and second, he doesn't know how the future of this timeline will be affected based on his actions.

My lord, are we really going to join the punishing crusade?
Refina asked on the horse riding beside him.

She worried that the army would discriminate against them because they were only mercenaries.

There is no other way.

According to information gathered before his return, the Temple of Arachion had been conquered before the nobles revolted.

In other words, it was this punitive crusade that succeeded in clearing the people of Arachion from the Korkas Mountains.

In other words, it was this punitive expedition that succeeded in clearing the people of Arachion from the Cocas Mountains.

It might cause more trouble if he let his unique treasure be taken away by them.

Master, who commanded these expeditions?
It is said that he is a very high-ranking person in the kingdom.

After many failed punitive expeditions, it was decided this time to be on a much larger scale.

They accepted the aid of mercenaries as support, and even offered to join the army and have a formal status if they could prove their strength.

Hearing Long Xiangtian's explanation, Zheng Shangxun seemed a little worried.

If the boss is allowed to be an official in the army, what should we do?
That's not going to happen.

Accepting fiefdoms is acceptable to him, but he is not interested in joining the army and only following orders from others.

If you want to control the Rhine Kingdom in the future, you must have your own army.

This is a great place to start.

They are on a peninsula, facing the sea on three sides, and its only land boundary is through the Cocas Mountains.

Located at mid-latitudes, it has a fairly mild climate.For a small kingdom, its size is also the most suitable, not too big and not too small, so it will gather forces for defense quite quickly.

For Isaac, who has given such a good starting point but has been unable to step out of the Rhine Kingdom, it can only show his real shortcomings.

He even ascended to the position of lord, but only because of good luck.

Dad, I see something over there.

Leah, who was riding in front with Rafina, pointed outside.

Northeast Gate.Its strategic value is high, so its defenses are strong.

We are finally here.

They've been on the move for over a week and everyone is tired.

Long Xiangtian looked around, while the team leader talked with the guards.

Hasn't the main force assembled yet?

There were fewer tents visible in the distance than he had imagined.Without the right supplies, they couldn't have too many of them.

Well, he can still afford to wait a few days.

They looked at us with strange eyes.

Because most of their members are Asian, they look very different from the natives of the Rhine Kingdom.Naturally that led to a not-so-warm welcome.

[Don't worry, our place here is secure. ]
They didn't dare to treat the mercenaries sent by Erica.Of course, he will still behave on the surface, but he will resort to such indecent means as denying them any merit.

The soldiers of this kingdom have a lot of pride.

As formal soldiers, they feel that they are on a different level from mere mercenaries.They won't do good deeds for mercenaries, even if they are mercenaries who have done meritorious service, it's not surprising.

Even commanders who are supposed to be impartial are easily blinded by potential gains and falsified reports.

This type of cheating is fairly common in the military.Long Xiangtian decided not to pursue their arrogance for the time being.

All he wanted was information about historical relics, and he didn't care about the military merit system.

I need to find the location of Alxa Temple.

If certain conditions are met, the historical relics of Ace may disappear completely, and hidden rewards will follow.

If you rush forward without planning, you are doomed to failure.

In the past, there must have been many sites that disappeared in this way.

Considering that they often have hidden treasures connected to the throne, he would rather focus his time on exploring the various historical sites, rather than expanding his power as he has done in the past.

You have come a long way and worked hard to get here.My name is Tenon, and I'm Aiden's lieutenant here at North Garrison.

Tenon waited for their arrival at the gate of the camp, and greeted the head of the Erica team and Long Xiangtian.The young, brown-haired lieutenant seemed to have a lot of brains.He was part of the local militia, so it's likely that this was his hometown.

Although his rank is lower than the commander of the army, he must have great ability to be selected as a lieutenant.
