THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

104 Chapter

Meanwhile, John checks the notifications in WDS when all this happens. 

“Administrative headquarters has been completed. Congratulations to Host for successfully creating an administrative department. You have earned 5 million exp.” points 

“Wine is done. Congratulations on being the host for making wine. You have earned 3 million exp points. You currently have 13.5 million exp points. ” 

John ordered,” open gift box. ”

” Are you sure you want to confirm that? ” 

“Ya, Confirmed.”

“Congratulations to host because of getting a water-powered forge. You can power your machine through this machine from now on. You can also get blueprints for other types of water machines. So please use that river in your city. “

Meanwhile Taylor came up with a report. 

“God, certain circumstances have developed now at Prince Hector's Banquet. Lord Vlad asked me to report on the developing circumstances there. Looks like Baron Mendez has decided to raise taxes on the Eastern port city. From this, it seems as if they intend to provoke us deliberately just by raising our taxes. And since we're landlocked it looks like they want to force our hand. Duke Fjord also announced their intention to attack the Morgan family fleet in retaliation for the previous humiliation of Lord Evan. it looks like our soap machine actually leaked to Prince Hector when he publicly showed it at the banquet. Earlier we were able to repel Duke Fjord's fleet because of our Ballista. “

John thought and spoke, “Hmm .. we will hold on for now and pay taxes. We will clear the northern area of the port city later so that we can get exclusive rights to sail. At sea, only power matters. For Duke Fjord, we don't have to worry because we've installed a new ballad in Eric's fleet, so we don't have to worry because their ship will sink first without being able to get involved. It seems like Prince Hector is really challenging us, take Jake, it seems like we really need to show off our prowess in killing his important people. ”

Jake enters the room after a waiter goes to call him,

“Jake you will have another mission now, your job is to kill this guy named Sylvan. Taylor and Master Vlad will give you details. How is the ghost building of the spy team going on?”

Jake salutes John and reports on the current situation, “I've gathered people who are ready to give you an oath, it will only take another 5 days to fully integrate it, it seems that after your actions earlier that day against Duke Evan, many slaves have already started to trust you and hence want to work for you willingly. “

John smiled and asked Taylor, “I guess my bet was worth it when I was against Duke Evan. What do you think, Taylor?” 

Taylor nodded and agreed, “Yes, this action of ours has finally borne fruit of our trust.”

John explained when Taylor said, “You see commoners can be trusted, you know, unlike false nobles who will change their tone in hopes of making a profit or losing and hence my bets on commoners and slaves. Jake, you can start making preparations for your Sylvan murder. Although it is different about Aristocrats who are considered to respect the above interests. “

John thought and immediately made a decision, “We will see him soon, you can tell the man that the duke can come in disguise to see me now. I still want to get to know him. I also want to hear what kind of information he has now. ”

After some time, half the fairies of the undercover merchant came to John's house. 

Taylor greeted him with a smile, “A very warm welcome to the Duke of Southern-forest, Sapphire Rose to Lord John’s Mansion, I hope you enjoy your stay here during your tour.” 

Watching Taylor welcome all the maids at the Mansion were startled and became alarmed upon hearing the arrival of the Sapphire Duke. Instead of the usual lazy behavior, they became wary because they knew that the Sapphire Duke was an important guest.

Duke Sapphire smiled and spoke, “I guess you are the personal butler of Count John. I hear you manage a lot of things in this city. I guess you have a lot of authority comparable to the Tornwall Forcemaster in this city. I couldn't make it here a few days ago when there was a Ballistae show.

Taylor disagrees or disagrees, “It looks like Duke has made his own preparations before coming here. As for not being able to come here, though, we understand that people have their own circumstances and we have already obtained information from Marquis Ray that you will come here so we appreciate Lord Sapphire's goodwill. ”

Duke Sapphire nodded and said,” I never expected to see anything big when I heard that you introduced a new weapon to your troops. I guess I missed the chance to see that gun live in action. ” 

Meanwhile, John had just come into the room and gave his suggestion, John, 

” I think we can still see the weapon alive in action, Why don't we talk again later. “

Duke Sapphire looked at Jake who was behind John and waiting for him, “Seeing that boy behind you seemed to be preparing something, I have good news for you, boy. However, that would be bad news for your Master ”

Jake was confused when he asked,” What kind of bad news will happen to my Lord? ” 

Duke Sapphire smiled after witnessing his reaction, “It looks like you really care more about your Master, you know, Well I got some information from my people and it seems like Prince Hector is planning to kill Lord Evan so Duke Fjord is acting against you guys and they become their vanguard facing the burden of your attack when they start taking serious action against you. I think the operation is already underway. “

John thought as he spoke, “It looks like Dearil may already know about it, but I guess he already knows the result that he will be late if he comes to tell us. Jake, change of plans, we'll kill Sylvan later, you'll first go and meet Dearil in the southwestern northern border town after you go to the checkpoint of Master Vlad's hideout, I guess they'll know the general idea of Dearil's location. I think you need closure at least even if Evan is dying at the hands of someone else. ”

Duke Sapphire was quite surprised by the sudden decision made by John without jerking his eyes. He thought, ‘I think he's a very decisive man. Good as a potential leader and not hesitating in front of the unknown and potential dangers. ‘
