73 Emperor Asvon
‘No, you just have to give me a reward!’
But why are you giving me another mouth to feed?
Minhyuk felt disappointed at the moment.
Conir was a boy with big doe-like eyes and fair skin. He looked very simple and naive. It seemed like he was around 15 years old.
But he’s a Sword Saint?
Minhyuk checked his information right away.

‘......Wow.’
Even if Minhyuk was dismayed, his mouth still widened in shock.
His attack power, defensive power and potential was overwhelmingly high whenpared to Ghost Spear Ben. Furthermore, since he had high potential, it meant that he could grow further.
Minhyuk checked Faramil Swordsmanship. When he checked the skill, he realized that there was something wrong. The swordsmanship resembled the swordsmanship that Barchel and his knights used earlier. However, the only difference was that Conir’s version was much more powerful and destructive. And when he saw the description……
‘A sword art created by a young and innocent boy to protect others.’
That was when Minhyuk realized that Conir was the one who created the Faramil Swordsmanship. Surprising things kept on appearing one after the other. He was wondering how a 15-year-old boy could make such a strong swordsmanship.
Minhyuk also looked through the other skills.

― Conir. God was fair. He gave him a gift and made him into a genius that can easily master whatever he did with his body and flesh but did not give him ‘wisdom’.
The Sword Saint’s Invincibility was a very fraudulent skill. And the same was true for Conir himself. He was truly a fraudulent NPC. The reason for this was very simple. For example, when an ordinary user or a monster attacked Conir, he would not receive much damage but the one who attacked him would receive almost the same damage from attacking him. In addition, he had a 5% chance of achieving a 10~13% recovery rate. Once an enemy attacked Conir, he would be able to recover from the minor damage that he suffered if his 5% chance of achieving that recovery rate was triggered.
‘This ispletely……’
Even if you threw Conir in the middle of hundreds of mobs, he might be able to attract the aggro by himself and even if he just stood still he might not receive any damage. Of course, Minhyuk was not someone who would do something like that.
His Tenacity would also allow him to achieve the highest level in anything he did with his body. In fact, it was a very unusual skill that would create skills and quests rted to the ability that he was learning.
And the Divine Blessings and Curses had told him that God was fair. Minhyuk had confirmed the meaning of this skill.
“Conir, I want you to live your life well. Go and find the meaning of your life.”
Conir tilted his head in confusion when Minhyuk said that with a soft smile on his face.
“I’m Conir. I serve you!!!”
“......N, no. Conir. I want you to live your life happily, you know?”
“I’m Conir…… I serve Minhyuk!”
“Conir, are we really going to do this?”
“I’m Conir. I like Minhyuk!”
“......”
When Minhyuk did not respond to his words, Conir pumped his fist in the air and shouted.
“I’m Conir! I protect Minhyuk!”
This was the moment when Minhyuk realized what Divine Blessings and Curses skill truly meant. Conir was clearly less intelligent whenpared to other ordinary 15 year olds.
Conir looked up at Minhyuk again.
“I’m Conir. Meeting Minhyuk, I’m happy!”
Conir’s big doe-like eyes were sparkling brightly. Minhyuk couldn’t help but smile when he saw him looking like this.
Minhyuk could also tell after sharing a few words with Conir that he had remembered everything that he did before including meeting Haze. However, he couldn’t remember creating the Faramil Swordsmanship in the past. And for some reason or another, he wanted to serve him.
If they were forced to be together, then Minhyuk had to think long and hard about what he could do.
“Conir.”
Conir listened intently as his wide eyes sparkled at him.
“Can you make ramyeon?”
***
Count Peru bursted outughing.
“Keuhahahaha! I’m so d to hear that the chimeras that you bought are working very well.”
The people sitting in front of him were the finest nobles in the Cordis Empire. The reason why Count Peruughed loudly just a while ago was because of Marquess Annes.
“After we discovered Cades Mine, the residents of Odis Vige caused a lot of trouble saying that God would be angry if we touched the mine. I sent my soldiers with armors that have my symbol engraved on them to give them ample rewards and kick them out but somehow it did not work out.”
Marquess Annes was a very influential man in the Cordis Empire.
And Marquess Annes was currently shaking his whiskey ss as he took a sip to moisten his throat.
“That’s why it felt a bit refreshing when that chimera cleaned up those filthy mongrels.”
“Because it was done by chimeras, you can report to the pce that they had been attacked and wiped out by monsters.”
“That’s right. They are very useful creatures, those chimeras.”
All of the people sitting here right now were the people who had attended the opening of the chimera market which he had opened when Count Peru had started producing chimeras every day. These nobles were also the nobles who were helping with the production, distribution, sales and ie of the chimeras. All of them were naturally sitting in jaw-dropping positions.
Emperor Asvon was an emperor who cared for his nation. He was a man who listened to the voice of the people more than the voice of the nobles so he had to use this expedient method to gain wealth.
“I’m looking forward to the chimeras that are going to be on sale tomorrow.”
“Are there any chimeras that can make one feel good at night?”
“Hahahahaha!”
Count Peru guffawed before speaking in a low voice.
“There’s a little girl named Haze, and that child is very……”
But he was not able to finish his words.
“Aaaaaaack!”
“Keuaaaaaack!”
“Keoheok!”
Shrieks suddenly rang loudly from somewhere. Count Peru frowned when he heard the sound.
‘What the hell?’
He thought that it was about time that Sir Barchel came up so he was wondering why shrieks suddenly rang out from somewhere.
At the same time, the nobles’ faces also wrinkled in displeasure.
“Let’s first hurry and get out of here.”
“Let me open the warp gate.”
Count Peru hurriedly ordered the mage behind him.
Since they were all nobles, it was only natural that they were apanied by escort knights and mages.
“How long will it take?”
“About four minutes.”
“That’s plenty of time.”
If the troops that were marching here were tremendous then they would not be able to reach this ce within four minutes. And although they did not know the real cause of the screams, the first thing that they needed to do was to hide their faces. It would not be toote to find the reason for the screamster.
Then, at that moment……
Creaaaaaak―
The door opened and an unidentified man, a short boy and a little pig came inside. As soon as he came in, his sword fired two crescent swordlights towards the mage that was casting from the back.
“Bastard, who are you!”
“Impertinent fool!”
Count Peru scoffed at the swordlight that he shot out. The one he attacked was one of the Cordis Empire’s Thousand Grand Mages. Being a part of the Thousand Grand Mages meant that they were the best mages in the empire. His sword would not be able to reach the mage’s Prime defense.
But at that moment……
sh―
“Keuaaaaaaack!”
The Prime Shield that the defense mage had put up was easily broken.
‘W, what the hell……!’
Even though there is a huge difference between a Hundred Grand Mage and a Thousand Grand Mage, how can he break that solid shield in just one strike?
“You bastard, who the fuck are you?!”
“Who knows?”
The man, Minhyuk, looked around them coldly as the knights and soldiers pushed in from behind. Before they knew it, dozens of knights had surrounded them with their swords pointed at their throats.
Count Peru could see the Phoenix pattern on one of the swords.
‘Phoenix? A person from the Eivelis Empire?’
He tilted his head as he spoke briskly.
“A person from Eivelis Empire does something like this to a person of Cordis Empire. Bastard, you won’t be able to escape death with this!”
“......But you bastards will be the one who won’t escape death, you know? You buy and sell chimeras to ughter vigers while you kill other nobles who pose a threat to you.”
“You’ll die here anyway so it won’t be exposed to the public.”
Count Peru smiled deeply as he spoke again.
“I am a man who has Emperor Asvon’s trust. I’m not someone who a bastard like you can touch!”
“You speak too much.”
Minhyuk dashed forward as afterimages appeared from his sword. It was none other than Rampant Sword.
ng, ng, ng, ng, ng, ng―
The knights hurriedly blocked the swords as they tried to protect the nobles. Then, Count Peru recognized Conir.
“N, no way. Co, Conir?”
His appearance was clearly different. Conir used to have bandages wrapped all over his body, just like a mummy. But his gait and posture was unique so he could easily tell who he was.
“B, be careful of that punk!”
Count Peru shouted hurriedly when he realized that something was wrong but it was all toote. The knights had crumpled and fallen after Conir passed by them.
Then, one of the knights wondered.
‘But he’s just a nice boy?’
Conir was smiling at them. His smile was so pure and naive that it could bring a smile to other people. Then, with a bright smile, he shouted.
“Conir!! Today, Conir learned how to make ramyeon!!!”
Conir looked like he was extremely excited. He was unable to control the trembling in his body.
“......”
“......”
“......”
The knights all fell silent at the same time. Then, Conir asked them.
“When you cook ramyeon, do you put noodles first? Or soup first?”
He looked like an innocent boy that was wondering about such a trivial matter.
One of the knights jumped up when he heard his words.
“You rude, crazy and insolent brat! I’m going to fix your manners for you……!”
Stab―
It was only a single blow. But the smiling boy had already pierced the neck of the knight who spoke harshly. Then, the knight fell down on the floor.
Then, Conir asked again.
“Noodles? Soup?”
“......”
“......”
The knights took a step back. The knight who had just died earlier was Marquess Annes’ knight. He was a knight that Emperor Asvon had bestowed upon him.
So, how?
“Noodles, soup?!”
“Noodles, noodles!!!”
One of the knights answered hurriedly. Then, Conir moved with a wide smile on his face.
“Wrong! Minhyuk-nim taught me to start with the water!”
Conir was extremely pleased because Minhyuk had put him ‘In Charge of Ramyeon’! He also taught him how to make ramyeon as well as how to eat it!
“Keoheok!”
“Heok……”
What kind of ridiculous answer is that?
The knights once again took a faltering step back. And Conir once again asked them a question.
“You like ansungtangtangmyun, you like sshin ramyeon?”
The knights faltered before one of the knights hesitantly spoke up.
“It, it’s ramyeon so of course we go with sshin ramyeon!”
Then, Conir stabbed him with his sword.
Stab―
“Keoheok!”
The knight was also knocked down in a single blow. Then, the knights asked him.
“W, what’s the answer?”
“Are you telling us that ansungtangtangmyun is the answer?!!!”
Conir smiled at him before answering.
“Wrong. All ramyeons are delicious!”
“Keok!!!”
“Wh, what kind of answer is that!!!”
“Shit! How dare you, you bastard!!!”
But Conir with the sword in his hands was thew. He held their lives in his hands. Conir smiled again as he asked them.
“What do you put in ramyeon, cheese or tteok?”
The knights had never experienced something as frightening as this in all their lives. It was more frightening because he was just an innocent-looking young boy with a pure smile on his face but he could kill them with just a single blow.
Then, one of the knights shouted.
“C, cheese!”
Conir grinned at him.
“Wrong! Minhyuk-nim told me that I can put both if I’m not sure!”
Stab―
***
Count Peru fell into a panic. However, he quickly gathered his wits back. He took advantage of the dying knights as he hurriedly activated the magic crystal ball.
Then, he stood in front of a small button.
“Pushing this button will destroy the underground with all of the chimeras. And all of this will be reported to the Imperial Pce through this magic crystal ball. Even if you talked for a hundred days, will the Emperor listen to you, a person from Eivelis Empire or me, a person who is envied by many?”
If all of the evidence were destroyed, then Minhyuk would just be a man who ughtered all of the nobles. Count Peru was confident of this.
“I have a very close rtionship with Emperor Asvon! We even enjoyed tea and refreshments a few days ago! You bastard, you look like a foreigner! I won’t let you step in this world ever again!”
“Ah. That’s a bit flustering.”
Not long after, the magic crystal ball began to operate.
Then, at that moment……
The voice of a man was heard through it.
“That’s right, I have a very special rtionship with him.”
A man came inside with dozens of knights behind him as well as an unidentified pdin who was standing beside him.
Emperor Asvon had appeared!
