The employee quickly regained his composure.

And he thought to himself.

‘What in the world is this guy?’

Motorcycles with an engine displacement of over 1,000㏄ weren’t something just anyone could handle.

So it was strange that someone without a motorcycle license would suddenly want to buy 10 of them at once.

Furthermore, judging from his appearance and the car he drove, he didn’t seem like someone who had much money.

‘Is he a scammer?’

However, just because he was suspicious, he couldn’t pry into his business too much.

He could be a real customer.

With a big sale on the line, upsetting the customer and losing the deal was the absolute worst thing a salesperson could do.

The employee brought over the contract.

“Just fill out the highlighted sections.”

Scribble, scribble-

Minhyuk filled out the contract.

The employee slyly asked.

“What method of payment will you be using?”

“I’ll pay the full amount in cash.”

Whoa-

The employee silently expressed his admiration with just the shape of his mouth.

Since there were some parts I was unsure about, I was relieved when he said he would pay the full amount in cash.

“When can I receive the motorcycles?”

“Two can be shipped within a week. As for the remaining eight, I’ll take responsibility and make sure you receive them within a month.”

Minhyuk nodded his head.

Since he didn’t need a large quantity of dragon hearts right now, that was enough.

.

.

.

After finishing the contract, he left the store.

“Thank you! I will contact you!”

The sales employee escorted Minhyuk out with a 90-degree bow.

He had decided to have the motorcycles delivered to his house.

So now, all that was left was to wait.

Vroom-

Minhyuk drove his SUV onto the main road.

Hmm-

When he said he wanted to buy 10 motorcycles worth over 100 million won, the dealer looked at him with eyes full of doubt.

This was also a problem for Minhyuk himself.

There was a story about a rich person who went to a department store in slippers and loudly scolded a sales employee who ignored him.

Was that really the right way to do it?

It just made things difficult for the poor sales employees.

Minhyuk didn’t have such bad taste.

‘Let’s get a sedan.’

Minhyuk immediately stopped by a car dealership and bought a luxury sedan.

The base price was 300 million won, but after adding options, it came to 400 million won.

“How would you like to pay?”

“In full, with cash.”

On his way home, he stopped by a nearby gym and also bought a personal training membership.

He would work hard to become muscular from now on.

After buying protein supplements from an online shopping mall, he felt like his new life was really getting on track.

‘Let’s live properly now!’

Until now, he had only been running forward.

Now, he could relax a little.

.

.

.

He spent the week waiting for the motorcycles quite productively.

He worked out and did various other things.

And finally, the motorcycles arrived.

A truck driver unloaded two motorcycles from the cargo area.

He was a professional motorcycle deliveryman.

The driver said to Minhyeok.

“Take them for a spin around the neighborhood. I’ll wait here.”

He was asking him to check if there was anything wrong with the motorcycles.

“I don’t have a license yet.”

“Oh, really? Then please sign here.”

Boom-

The motorcycle delivery truck drove away.

Minhyeok moved the motorcycles to the underground parking lot.

Without starting them.

Then he put both of the motorcycles in the refrigerator.

“Return.”

Bam-

He returned to the snowy field with the magic tower in a flash of light.

When he checked the refrigerator, there were three of the ice dragon’s hearts inside.

‘First, let’s restore the altar of Sylphid.’

Whoosh-

The snowstorm was raging.

Snow was piling up on the corpse of the red dragon.

Minhyeok looked through the items that had poured out of Srinijam’s inventory.

Among them, there was one item that caught his attention.

<Golden Arch>

-You can teleport to any location that you have visited at least once.

-You can teleport to restricted and sacred areas.

It was a teleportation magic tool that was one level higher than Gaon’s.

It was convenient that only one of the pair was needed to use it.

However, there was one fatal flaw.

‘It’s huge!’

It was too big to put in the refrigerator.

It was so big that even the red dragon, which was much bigger than a normal dragon, would be able to use it.

It was tens of meters in width and height.

So he couldn’t put it in the 33 square meter cold storage.

<There is not enough space in the inventory to put the item in.>

<You can expand your inventory if you meet special conditions.>

He thought he wouldn’t need to upgrade the refrigerator any further after the cold storage he was using now.

But that wasn’t the case.

There were many huge items in the world.

Like the altar of Gaho.

Anyway, he would return to the castle of Sylphid and restore the altar of Gaho there.

‘Does it work properly?’

Minhyuk infused magic power into the Golden Arch, not Kaon.

Whoosh-

A huge curtain of light was created below the arch.

Minhyuk thought of the Sylph Palace in his head and passed through the curtain.

Then the ruined Sylph Palace came into his sight.

Oh!

He could really teleport to any place he had been to once.

He looked back and saw that the Golden Arch had also teleported here.

It automatically followed the user.

‘Good.’

Swoosh-

Minhyuk flew into the tunnel he had made last time.

And he arrived at Kaho’s Altar after passing through the stairs and the broken elevator section leading underground.

He took the heart of the Ancient Dragon out of the refrigerator and placed it on the altar.

Hiss-

A huge bead of magic power was divided into light particles and wrapped around the altar.

Bam-

Blue light burst out of the altar’s magic diagram.

At the same time, an invisible transparent film expanded in all directions.

In that way, the territory of Kaho was recreated in the Sylph Castle.

***

Southern end of the Rania Continent.

Flap, flap-

A green dragon was flying in the sky.

It was Saltus Dragon.

He was the only surviving dragon of the three brothers who had attacked Minhyuk.

A huge stone pillar came into his sight.

Flap, flap-

Saltus Dragon landed on the top of the stone pillar.

Click-

He took out a magic scroll from his inventory.

Tear-

Boom-

As he tore the scroll, the magic diagram engraved on the stone pillar began to glow.

At the same time, a huge gate of time and space opened above Saltus Dragon’s head.

Someone’s voice was heard through the gate.

[You are not Srinijam. Why are you interrupting my rest?]

The owner of the voice was the Great Mother of the Sky.

She was the mother of all dragons in the world because she was the only female who could lay eggs.

[Oh, Celestial Mother! Srinizham is dead!]

[What?]

Her voice startled the Saltus Dragon.

[Srinizham came to see me a short while ago. What in the world happened in that short time?]

[He was attacked by the Visitor!]

The Celestial Mother recalled her conversation with Srinizham.

[Are you talking about that Visitor who recently appeared?]

[Yes. He killed not only Srinizham, but Banak as well. And my brothers, Tunakka and Manakka!]

Four dragons had fallen at the Visitor’s hand.

Visitors had appeared many times over the past several thousand years, but never had there been such a calamity.

Thud-

A gigantic, white dragon emerged through a dimensional gate.

It was more than ten times larger than the colossal Srinizham.

It was the Celestial Mother.

[Celestial Mother!]

The Saltus Dragon bowed its head to her.

Compared to her size, the Saltus Dragon was no bigger than a minnow.

[It has been a thousand years since I last set foot on the continent of Lania.]

[Forgive us. It is our inadequacy that has caused you to descend to the mortal realm.]

The Celestial Mother spoke, her gaze fixed on the east.

[I shall go and meet this Visitor myself.]

***

“Half of the year in Silphir is winter, but the snow melts and flowers bloom during the summer.”

Minhyuk nodded at Professor Lehman’s explanation.

A vast territory of Gaho had been created, centered around the Silphir Citadel, far larger than Asdel or Melbeck.

While the territory of Gaho had pushed back the encroaching permafrost, the snow had not melted entirely. After all, even before the encroachment, this place had been a cold region.

Still, the fierce blizzards had ceased, and a warm, orange sunlight poured down.

The weather here was very similar to that of northern Europe on Earth.

‘I’ve never actually been there, though.’

He had only taken a ‘LAN trip’ from his room.

He would definitely visit the forests of Norway someday.

Rumble-

People bustled around the teleportation portal.

They were the people of Asdel and Melbeck who had migrated to Silphir.

It was meaningless to have land but no people to live on it, even if they had managed to restore the Altar of Gaho.

So Minhyuk had recruited those who wished to migrate.

When he offered to provide resettlement support, a large number of people applied.

General Drake reported to Minhyuk.

“We have finished preparing to depart for the central continent, Your Majesty!”

Minhyuk had taken all of the eastern continent of Rania.

So next, it was time to conquer the center.

The king of Kuron, whom Minhyuk had met at the Magic Tower, came to his mind.

The one who had held a shield made of rocus alloy.

Along with Kuron, there were three fortresses in the center of the continent: Piar, Horton, and Kuron.

“You must pass through the Berakan Plateau to reach the center of the continent.”

The Berakan Plateau was a highland as high as Mount Everest.

Therefore, it was difficult to get to and from the central region before the flooding.

“There are records that in the distant past, it was easy to get there and back with teleportation magic tools. Your Majesty’s great cause of unification will naturally restore the past glory! Congratulations!”

Professor Raymon was right.

Once the great cause of unification was completed, all the fortresses of the Rania continent would be connected by teleportation portals.

Minhyuk shouted to his vassals.

“Our next target is Kuron Fortress!”

.

.

.

Minhyuk returned to the inner palace of Asdel.

And checked his equipment.

From Noble mtl dot com

The latest flame-proof armor,

The Bow of Light,

The Wand of Binding.

They were all magic tools he had purchased at the Magic Tower Square.

‘These are too strong to be true.’

Thanks to these guys, he had defeated the red dragon too easily.

They were on a different level from existing magic tools.

It was like comparing a stone ax to a nuclear bomb.

Equipment that is too strong is a double-edged sword.

They are reliable guys who are second to none when I use them, but the moment they fall into the hands of the enemy, they will choke me.

So the conclusion is,

‘I have to be the only one to use these.’

If I were to mass-produce them and distribute them to soldiers, saying that I would create the strongest army, it might lead to a terrible end.

A line from a movie or drama came to mind.

If you meet someone who has 10 times more than you, rob them.

If you meet someone who has 100 times more than you, make friends with them.

If you meet someone who has 1,000 times more than you, serve them as your master.

It was a pretentious line full of bravado that would make a middle schooler cry, but it wasn’t entirely wrong.

Loyalty is something that can only arise when there is a certain gap between the lord and the vassal.

If everyone gets their hands on the strongest equipment and becomes invincible, they will all dream of their own great cause.

Then, far from unification, great chaos would ensue.

So the legacy of ancient mankind should only be used by Minhyuk.

That didn’t mean he would stop upgrading his soldiers’ equipment right away.

‘Let’s upgrade them to Rocus Alloy.’

That seemed to be the right level.

He didn’t have Rocus Alloy yet, though.

‘Maybe?’

Maybe there was Rocus Alloy in the Rooftop Plaza.

Minhyuk poured magic power into the pendant of his necklace.

Poof-

With a bright flash, he moved to the Rooftop Plaza.

And he entered the materials shop.

“Welcome! You don’t look familiar. Let me guess…”

“Do you have Rocus Alloy here?”

He cut off the shopkeeper’s chatter and asked the main question.

“Rocus Alloy? What is that?”

“The alloy made by Rocus, the God of Blacksmiths. Don’t you know?”

“Well, I don’t know about the God of Blacksmiths, but I know a blacksmith named Rocus.”

“Where is he now?”

“The red-roofed building across the plaza is the smithy he runs.”

Minhyuk left the materials shop and headed to Rocus’s smithy.
