World Development System

Chapter 110

Duke was quite surprised after hearing the words of Tornwall and asked him in surprise, "Do you really know about the ambitions of your lord and think that he wants to become a king . While the question is, would he still be able to become a king?

Tornwall proudly said, "It is not a matter about would he really be able to become a king . The question is WHEN would he become a king? Most of his confidants understand that Lord has a big ambition and everyone is doing their 100 percent to achieve that goal . "

Looking at the confidence of such a conservative guy even Duke Rose was quite surprised and thought that they might have more secrets which he didn’t know .

’I guess he really has a way to fight on three fronts and hence the slack when it comes to provoking all the other dukes . It seems he always intended to create his own kingdom and hence the conflicts while he could lower his head and settle the problem, however, he always kept his head up . It seems I need to re-evaluate them . The very fact that they made those laws should have cleared his intentions to everyone . And that deal with the Royal family to expand his lands might be a big hot matter in the future if he is successfully able to clear and claim the lands . If there are lot more Magic metal mines then it would be a big hot potato to everyone in and out of the kingdom . ’

Duke smiled and replied while Tornwall was keenly observing him, "It seems after this conversation with you . I could understand a lot of things which I wasn’t able to previously . I guess my decision to support you guys was right after all since you guys are quite decisive as I witnessed earlier . "

John came back,

As Duke saw John,

Duke then spoke to John, "John after witnessing your town I was interested in a lot of things . The thing which interested me the most was your education institution where people from all walks of life were able to study there together . I saw that there was no shortage of papers or new books in your universities so I guess you guys are producing those papers in very large quantities with minimal costs . I am someone who likes literature and I have quite a few relations with the elves in the south of the Aelius at sea So I would like to trade up some magic wood with them . So the thing is I can help you acquire Magic wood which is always in demand because of low supply . The elves were quite interested in your papers . So what do you say? are you interested? However, they don’t want an artificial restriction on the amount of paper they can buy . However, they can promise not to resell that paper . After their research on paper, they concluded that this paper can survive far longer than the current goat and animal skin papers and hence their interest in this new paper . What do you say?"

This time Simon and Pallet both attacked Henry at the same time . Jake saw that both of them intended to kill Henry . He threw one of the knives at the fireball that was thrown by Pallet and interjected it . Both the parties were shocked initially after watching this, however, Simon was still successful in breaking through Henry’s defense as he thrust his sword at him .

However, Henry fell from the hill as he tried to defend himself . While Pallet used a scroll on Evan, This was an earth spike scroll that pierced directly into Evan’s ribcage .

This time Jake didn’t have the same intention when he saved Henry’s life as he continued to watch on . Henry sighed as he watched this scene as he fell from the hill .

Evan was squirming badly as he watched both Jake and Simon . Before dying, Evan still laughed and spoke to Jake, "Hmph . . . you will pay for your insolence, its good that I already planned against you, lets see how you protect your loved ones . . . "

Evan then moved his gaze to Simon, "As for you, you guys will pay for your insolence against me, My father will avenge me now or later when he realizes Prince Hector’s conspiracy . "

Simon thrust his sword completely into Evan’s throat as he spoke, "Noisy . You don’t mean shit to me . "

Pallet asked Simon as they concluded, "Hmm . . . it seems he only intended to save that guy . Simon, what do we do about that guy who escaped?"

Simon rebuked, "He will most probably be dead after falling from such a height added with my strike which was poisonous . As for them, we are leaving I don’t want to engage with that demon after such a bitter duel . We have already completed the mission, it doesn’t matter whether Count John’s men know about the conspiracy or not . "

Meanwhile, there was a peculiar sound of ringing bells coming from Evan’s main camp .

Pallet then confirmed to Simon, "It looks like they too have completed the mission . "

Dearil and Jake meanwhile hid far away from them,

Dearil advised Jake, "We will not engage with them over here, they have many men so we will be at a disadvantage . That previous action of yours was too risky for us, why did you try to save that man, Henry?"

Jake spoke, "I might not like that scum Evan but that doesn’t mean I will treat everyone as the same . He was an honorable man though he might act differently . he was the one who protected his master till the end, so I guess my instincts told me to save him . Among all the knights, I felt he was the one who was most honorable and had most masks on his face as he followed Evan’s orders . "

Dearil thought as he spoke, "hmm . . so you saved him based on your instinct? I guess we might have a situation at our hands . Come lets go downhill and save him . "

Jake saw them leaving for the camp, "Wait, they are leaving, first lets check that scum’s corpse before leaving . "

Dearil nodded and both of them headed towards Evan’s corpse .

Jake saw Evan’s corpse and commented, "I guess he really is dead, It’s good that I had a part in his death . The very fact that he again targeted my family was the last nail on his coffin in my mind . "

Meanwhile, an arrow came from behind both of them, Dearil was fast to react as he deflected the arrow with his short blade .

While Jake already moved to his right as he sensed danger from behind .

Simon commented to Pallet as he shot the arrow, "We are leaving, we won’t be able to handle them both . Both of them are dangerous from the way they were able to sense danger . lets regroup and then come . "

Pallet ran with his fat body and spoke, "That’s true, it would be disadvantageous for us since both of them are mid-range and melee ranged combat fighters . We have anyway finished our mission, I would rather like to rest than do any job for a while . "

Simon facepalmed as he heard Pallet but he still moved towards the camp to regroup with his man, Meanwhile, he thought, ’That boy surely grew at a frightening pace . It seems that the rumors are surely true that he is the disciple of that demon Vlad . Well, I guess Prince would still be happy with the result of this mission however there were still some missteps . ’

Simon ordered one of his men after reaching the camp, "Quickly come and write the report about the current mission . "

"Already done, we have already written a complete report about the events that took place in this camp . We are only waiting for the report from your end . "

Simon saw that both Jake and Dearil were leaving the corpse and heading north .

"It seems they are already leaving . Pallet, go and report the events to him . "
