The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 101

I checked the update window

for Episode 101 , but I had no intention of heading to the Free City right away.

In any case, not only would the players be of no help for the time being, but there were no quests or missions for Raoul to do if he went to the Free City.

‘The players who have achieved their potential will be taken care of by Kane’s intelligence department and guild branch, so there is no need for me to come forward right away.’

The players became a threat at least at the point where they formed a guild and left the Free City.

First, we needed to check the new scenario.

〈Scenario: The Beginning of Chaos〉

Commentary: Gate Outbreak has struck the Connect continent. Many villages and territories that failed to respond properly were swept away by monster invasions, and humanity lost much of its territory.

And by some conspiring force, all four ancient seals that held the dimensional gate back were broken. In the process, the guardians who protected each kingdom disappeared, and the royal family now lost its power.

The balance of power collapsed and the powerful, who had been holding their breath, began to move.

What are your choices in the coming world of chaos and the law of the jungle?

Raoul’s face darkened slightly after checking the contents.

This is because the situations that will happen in the future are pictured in my head.

It was true that the unprecedented event called Gate Outbreak brought enormous damage to humanity.

But if it was fatal, it definitely wasn’t.

The victims of this incident were mainly the powerless baronies and their residents.

In fact, powerful and prestigious families managed to control the damage to a reasonable level. This is because the level of the monster itself was not high in the first place.

Count Ashton also followed Raoul’s advice and evacuated all the villagers to the castle, thus minimizing human casualties, and all the territory lost to the monsters was recaptured in less than a month.

This is because they have strong knights and soldiers. And it was no different for other prestigious families.

‘That’s the problem.’

Right now, the troops are tied up trying to keep the dungeon gate in check, so they can’t think of anything else, but once the situation becomes more stable, everyone will realize it.

-Now that I think about it, there are a lot of unclaimed lands?

Of course, there were existing lords and nobles who would claim land rights. However, do they really have the strength to protect the land after they abandoned all the residents of the territory and ran away?

Normally, the royal family would act as a balance and coordinate issues between nobles, but the royal family also suffered enormous damage due to this incident.

In particular, the loss of the guardian who secretly protected the royal family could be said to be fatal.

It was said that the nobles were not aware of the fact for now, but it would be revealed sooner or later.

‘Cardenas said he gathered the masters every year to check their achievements and give them advice.’

It was natural as he claimed to be the teacher of all masters, but there was also a warning to them to prevent them from acting rashly.

But now there is no Cardenas in the royal family. Of course, there was no way the Masters would not notice.

Without Cardenas, will the royal family be able to control the prestigious families that the Master is holding on to with their own strength?

Raoul was skeptical.

Of course, prestigious families who value honor and tradition will not immediately antagonize or ignore the royal family just because their guardian is gone, but how long will that continue?

‘It will definitely move.’

Not only prestigious samurai families but also most noble families with power and influence will begin to move.

This is because a golden opportunity to unleash the power that has been building up over decades of peace is at hand.

Land abandoned by its owner.

A land that can be easily taken over as long as you have a group of knights and a few soldiers to drive out the monsters.

They weren’t greedy nobles who would just let it go.

‘Well, I’ve already taken control of three territories.’

Of course, Raoul paid a fair price.

But will other nobles really think that way?

Will they also pay a fair price and move?

Perhaps Raoul had ignited a dangerous spark. Of course, even so, I had no intention of regretting it.

‘Anyway, this is the trend of the times. It’s not like I can stop it by going against it alone. In that case, there is no choice but to jump on the bandwagon and profit as much as possible.’

Raoul was not a character like a passionate young man full of humanity and a sense of justice.

I had no intention of considering right and wrong by modern standards, and I had no determination to change the world with any particular ideology.

What he wants is peace and happiness for himself and those within his realm. I just added a spoonful of revenge from the past.

Just choose the path that you think is the most efficient and best to achieve that goal.

And that was why he was active in the capital until this incident broke out in the first place.

‘Whether we like it or not, confusion can be minimized only if the royal family is alive and well. No matter what the king, the central army and residents of the capital can put pressure on the nobles with their very presence. I never dreamed that there was such a big variable called a guardian…’

In any case, in the past life, the damage to the residents, who had died more than half, was minimized, and by intervening in the royal castle, many of the guards and knights were also saved.

The royal family will never become completely reputable like in the past life. And that was enough.

In any case, the role of the royal family that Raoul wanted was to keep the noble families in check so that they could move with a little caution.

‘And during that time, we develop the strength to stand against those who are targeting our family.’

According to the original history, the first to be sacrificed in this scenario would be the Earl of Ashton.

There would have been no more delicious prey to split than a prestigious family that had lost its power.

Of course, thanks to Raoul’s intervention, the Ashton family suffered little damage from the Gate incident.

Not only that, but his reputation in the capital was also rising and he was slowly regaining his former reputation.

But will that really stop the conspiracy against the count family?

Raoul was sure that wouldn’t be the case.

According to his investigation, the conspiracy against the count family had been prepared for a very long time, and the forces involved were formidable.

I could have touched it with the feeling that I was stabbing a persimmon that I couldn’t eat, or I could have rushed at it in a life-or-death decision.

The important thing is that the bomb targeting the count family has already been installed. All that remained was when to press the trigger.

Although we have made efforts to delay that period as much as possible, we cannot live with the threat in front of us forever.

‘It would be good to destroy the people who ordered the planting of the bomb, but if that is not possible, we have no choice but to dismantle the bomb first.’

They also wiped out their minions.

And Raoul planned to finish the work by the end of this scenario at the latest.

Once you secure the safety of your home, you can take the next step without worry.

While Raoul was checking his future plans, Ravel was connected to the updated Connect system.

‘Oh my god what is this?’

In the community section that only Raoul and himself thought were used, new bulletin boards appeared one after another, and there was even a place where people who had never seen each other appeared and talked.

But what caught her eye was the newly appeared browser icon.

For some reason, I wanted to click on the shiny icon.

Slurp.

The moment Ravel’s quietly extended finger touched the icon, a completely new world unfolded before her eyes.

“…bell. label!”

The sound of someone calling her woke her up.

Ravel disconnected from the connect system with a blank expression and appeared above the skill encyclopedia.

“What’s going on with Ravel? “I kept calling, but I was surprised because there was no answer.”

When Raoul asked anxiously, Ravel sat down on the encyclopedia and looked into Raoul’s eyes without saying a word.

Then, as if he had calmed down, he cautiously opened his mouth.

“Did Raoul know?”

“What?”

“The connect system is connected to the rest of the world.”

“…I knew. I was already planning on talking about it with Ravel. “I’m sorry, just wait a moment.”

Sigh.

Raoul’s power armor, Regnator, was activated and his upper right body was covered in gold.

“Mr. Cardenas, if you don’t mind, could you listen to the story with me?”

Then, a ray of shadow appeared from Regnator’s core and soon transformed into the shape of a translucent person.

That figure was clearly Cardenas, the guardian of the Kingdom of Ruben.

“This is not a training ground. “Is it important enough to skip training?”

“Yes, there is something I must tell you.”

“okay? If you say so, it must be really important. huh? “There was also a label.”

“It’s been a while, Carl.”

Ravel waved his hand lightly in greeting from above the encyclopedia.

6 months ago.

Cardenas, who was about to die in the royal palace basement, decided to walk a new path with Raoul.

And following Ravel’s guidance, I settled on the core of Raoul’s power armor, Regnator.

Although only his soul remained and he could no longer exert his power in reality, as an exception, when Raoul activated Regnator, he was able to appear in reality in the form of a reflection like now.

As Cardenas settled into Regnator, his grade went up and performance improved, which was a bonus.

[Regnator: Power Armor]

Awakening time: 15 seconds – 30 seconds

Cardenas agreed to watch Raoul’s sword skills during the power armor operation time every day in return for letting him stay.

As a result, Raoul’s swordsmanship skills improved a lot, but he just felt sorry.

I can only come out for two hours a day, but I end up spending all that time training.

But Cardenas didn’t care. Anyway, in the past, I was tied to a seal and fell asleep for a long time, and even when I was awake, I had to watch the masters’ training.

And right now, improving Raoul’s skills was an urgent priority. In his view, Raoul, who had not even reached Master, was still nothing more than a thunderbolt.

Wouldn’t Cardenas be embarrassed if he were to die in such a harsh place?

And Ravel’s statement that if Raoul’s skills improve and Regnator’s level rises further, Cardenas’s radius of action will also expand, made sense.

Above all, there was something special about Raoul. Not only was he talented, but he also possessed two treasures that were almost divine and also had special powers given to him by God.

‘If this guy…’

I didn’t know if I could truly liberate him from the restraints that had bound him.

In this way, Cardenas, like Ravel, became a soul-bound colleague with Raoul, and only today did Raoul reveal the secret he had been hiding for so long.
