Dion's territory, Awan, is very remote and has a unique terrain that is surrounded by four mountains – two of them are snow-capped mountains, one of them is a very dangerous forest that has a lot of plants and monsters, and the remaining one is a plain, but it is also covered by snow all year around.
It's impossible on earth but in this world, Dion's territory has the calmest weather even though it's a bit weird.
It was a painfully cold place to live that even adventures were unwilling to set foot in. Also, there were just too many zombies around, it's better to went to other places.
If you ask about adventures, YES, this world has them. But their numbers were very rare. And because of the doomsday 500 years ago and all the animals and plants had mutated, the adventures had a very high death rate.
The Awan Castle with a terrifying and gloomy aura is a safe area within a radius of several kilometers, no enemy with a red name can enter. It is said that this is an effective means of protection provided by the system to the host in a weak period.
Dion ate the soup given by Farley slowly while thinking about the next plan.
[The game channel has been built.]
A mechanical voice from the system interrupted his thoughts.
"Did you finish the work so quickly? It's amazing" Dion chuckled and he had a better mood all of sudden.
[It's a normal operation for the system]
Dion could only smile helplessly at this remark. well, it was not cute at all. then he continued to eat his breakfast.
For a moment the taste of simple soup, the dilapidated and gloomy aura of the castle, the unguarded territory, and the poverty of the citizens flashed in his mind, but in the end, he cleared all his thought, leaving only one firm thought---
To rebuild his territory!
.....
In front of the huge city gate where you could only see the white snow and a gloomy forest, the knights Manda and James who were on duty today were talking with each other.
"Manda, I heard that a new lord has come to Awan, I wonder what he looks like?. Also, can he change our town?" James let out a breath of white steam because of the difference in humidity between the cold weather outside and his body.
Manda pursed his lips, not as optimistic as the young kid, "What's so good about the lords? The lords are all nobles. All of them are rotten oranges, they are greedy, lustful, and ignorant. They are also lazy. Awan can't afford these people"
After he was born, Awan no longer had a lord so when he heard Manda say something like this he was a little curious "is it that bad? I heard the captain say the other cities have city lords. I never see the city lord myself"
'Of course not!' Manda complained angrily in his heart.
These days, the common people's awe of the privileged class is almost deep-rooted. But Manda is diferent. When he was young, Awan had a lord.
It was a fat nobleman. He was arrogant, lazy, and incompetent but love vanity. He even disregards the life and death of the people in the city and exchanges the only magic core of the city and exchanges it for the so-called unique painting?!
And he was also very lecherous and perverted and has been abusing the servants at home in private.
That man only inherited the title of a baron from his ancestor, the lowest rank among royalty and nobles. But even such a person was enough to bully them as civilians.
"Nobles are a blood-sucking monster, different from vampires who only drink blood. The nobles will suck away all the money and food to enjoy themselves. And as a commoner, you can only watch and pray they won't do anything worse lest your family get affected…."
James asked carelessly, "But, we have no food now"
Manda: …..
"Furthermore, we have no money. Oh, I am also an orphan"
Manda: …..
James helplessly sighed "Truthfully, I also know that the nobles are not good things, but I heard that the lord this time is from the capital. Manda, do you think he can bring a magician here?"
Manda was unable to speak. He was stunned.
He presumed that James's expectations for the lord came from the brilliance of the nobles. It turn out that he was thinking about the magician?
"After all, our city castle has been empty for over twenty years. I'm afraid that if the longer we don't have a lord let alone a noble, we will be forgotten by the kingdom."
The two of them continued to converse and both of them didn't realize that two people were walking toward the gate they were guarding.
However, perhaps because of the sound of footsteps which was too noticeable, Manda and James immediately stopped talking and turned their heads into the forest and saw two people come out from there.
James was overjoyed seeing them. Finally, Awan has visitors!
"Guest from afar, I am James. Do you need any help? or guide?"
Dion waved his hand and said "No need, we just happened to pass by. By the way, You are from Awan?"
A stupid question because there wasn't any city for hundreds of miles around here. Farley the one who seemed to carry a big bag on his shoulder something just smile and thought that he had to cook a good dinner tonight with all the ingredients they got.
"Yes, we are from Awan. Would you like to be a guest in the city?"
Manda said as he observed the two of them. The young one look like a pampered young master wearing fancy clothing for hunting (Dion). And the other hand, more like a bodyguard or a butler (Farley).
Farley felt the scrutiny from Manda and frowned unconsciously. But before he lost his temper and want to yell at them, he saw Dion already talking to Manda.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Dion and he is my butler Farley. Unfortunately, I am we are not here to be guests" Dion introduced.
'Ah, so they are not guests. That's right who wanted to come to such a ghostly place?' thought James sadly.
You couldn't blame him for expecting because it had been a long time ago they had guests. Even merchants were rare now and all the goods had increased in price because of that.
Manda also has a dark face hearing that, he also expected them to be a guest. At least, a merchant. Because when he saw the big bag Farley has, it was very similar to what an elementary merchant will had.
Who knows, suddenly Dion smiled with a hint of coldness on his golden eyes, and his toned changed "Actually, I am the new lord. Nice to meet you two gentlemen!"
Farley had a big smile on his face hearing that. especially when he saw the shocked expression on Manda's face.
"Our Lord had invited 20 adventurers who are willing to stay in this city. so you will have to welcome them well"
...
On earth.
A game anchor named "Fake Monkey" was broadcasting live, and when he saw so many subscribers comment on a new game, he took a curious look and asked, "Should I try this game?"
"Yea, Try and live broadcast it for us to see"
"didn't you just buy a new game cabin? Hurry up and play it for me!"
"I want to see the handsome men inside!"
"Upstairs, you have bad intentions"
"Who cares about men, I want to see if the promotional films are true or not!"
