Madman in a Fantasy World

Gerald Winchester tried to end it with a verbal agreement, but he said that he would go to the manor together with me when I go back tomorrow after the social gathering today. Let’s talk more about sponsorship there.

After sending Gerald Winchester away, Liche, who was still standing like a folding screen, asked with a trembling voice.

“Do I really have to go there…?”

“Then. Let’s go.”

When it comes to money, it is not a verbal contract, but a face-to-face transaction to produce satisfactory results for each other. Well, in the first place, sponsorship is just given unilaterally, so there is no need to reach an agreement.

“Didn’t you get sponsored?”

“Originally it was.”

Richie doesn’t seem to want to go to her parents’ house, but I also had no intention of receiving sponsorship from the beginning. You know what to say to me for money from a nobleman’s nose. But Gerald has no intentions, so he can’t. Do you dare to use me? Then you should use it in reverse.

“Ugh…”

“Rice. Originally, people can’t live doing what they want to do.”

There are times in life when you have to do something even if you don’t want to.

“I know that, but…”

I brought the wine to the mouth of the dying liche. What I wouldn’t normally be able to do is possible with the help of alcohol. Richie taking the wine from me and crackling.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Meanwhile, Lucia and the emperor were approaching. I don’t know why, but the combination gives off an annoying smell.

“Your Majesty. This is the adventurer I mentioned earlier.”

“Ohh. Is this the person you mentioned? That he might become the fourth S-class adventurer?”

“In fact, it is possible at any time if the conditions are met.”

As Lucia said. Now, if I only get recommendations from Alchemists, I’m in S rank. Hearing those words, the emperor’s eyes shone like an immature child.

Well, if you build a friendship with an S-class adventurer called a human weapon, you’ll be able to get help later in case of an emergency. For example, an S-class monster invaded, or there was no such thing as a war between countries.

“Nice to meet you. This is Abraham de Albert.”

The emperor held out his hand to me. An explicit handshake request.

A regular handshake is a very common way of greeting. The problem is that the person who does it has the title of emperor.

I don’t know if the emperor has such intentions or not, but in a place where all the nobility are gathered like this, the emperor personally asking for a handshake is an act that proves who I am.

A handshake is usually a greeting between equals. For the emperor to do such an act to me means that he acknowledged me as an equal or similar person. And the only positions equal to that of the emperor were S-class adventurers and kings of other countries.

There was no reason to refuse a handshake, so we accepted it, but naturally, the eyes of the nobles around us were focused on us.

“By the way, he looks a bit too young to have reached a high level, but is this guy in the same field as the Alchemist?”

“No. It’s a surprisingly powerless field.”

“Ohh… at this age?”

The emperor stroked his beard. looks like thinking about something. There is something I want the emperor to help me with in the future. Shall I ask?

“Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“Hmm? What?”

“If it’s not rude, may I ask the Emperor a favor?”

Originally, there would be no one who could ask the emperor face-to-face. But, well, people in this world don’t expect formality from adventurers, so there’s no such thing as formality for me, who has lived on Earth.

Fortunately, the emperor readily agreed, saying that it was good because he was a cheerful person enough to play with his own life.

“hahahaha! Yes! You must have that much guts to become an S-class adventurer! Yes. What is it? Money? Honor? Just talk!”

“Can I get rid of one family crest?”

“·······?”

***

A day later, we left early in the morning to go to the Winchester family estate. Of course, the way to get there was by carriage…

– Riche. How long does it take to get from here to your estate?

– Speaking of going by carriage… about a little over a week?

– Oh fuck.

No matter how luxurious a carriage is, the riding comfort cannot be better than that of a car. With such a feeling of riding, I had to move all week long. I can never stand it.

Besides, I met Richie’s older sister and older brother in the morning, and even though the older brother seemed fine, the older sister seemed to have a bad relationship, so it was obvious that it would have been awkward if we had traveled in the same carriage for a week or so.

So, we decided to send the wagon separately, and we decided to use teleport to move first.

In the morning, I joined the Winchester family and headed straight to the Journal Academy. To get a letter of recommendation and to ask for a teleport using Lucia’s personal acquaintance.

– Lucia. I have work to do for world peace. can you help me?

-···Yes?

And Lucia was happy to help.

Soon after, with Lucia’s help, he teleported to the dukedom.

The people of the Winchester family, who had used teleportation, which even aristocrats could not use recklessly, showed admiration, although they did not show it on the outside.

By now, Gerald should have his happiness circuits running at full capacity. I thought I was an ordinary A-class adventurer, but I also have a connection with an S-class adventurer, so Gerald would probably have enjoyed twerking without anyone.

“Keuheum…then let’s go to the mansion.”

Clearing our eyes, Gerald Winchester led us straight to the mansion. The mansion was certainly large, but I had just come to see the imperial palace yesterday, and I had seen mansions of this size in other estates, so I wasn’t particularly impressed.

Even though Richie had been coming home for the first time in a while, he didn’t seem very happy. Anyway, I don’t intend to stay long either.

It will take a week to go back to the Empire from here, but I’ll just have to do it and leave.

Richie’s older sister and older brother each went to their own rooms, and Gerald, who arrived at the mansion, had the butler lead us to the drawing room, saying that he would change clothes for a while.

While waiting while being entertained by the butler, the Count arrived shortly after changing his clothes.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Gerald sat down on the sofa across from us, and the butler, who had been pouring tea just now, stood behind Gerald and posed neatly.

“Not really. Rather than that, shall we talk about being productive?”

“Okay. Then let’s talk about sponsorship.”

He showed an unspoken response in the part called ‘productive’. I don’t like it very much, but in a way, Gerald Winchester is similar to my personality. He only sees reality and judges everything based on practicality.

If you have a personality like that, you won’t even talk about it when you think there will be even a little loss.

Then, it seems that the support given to me now will bring about various benefits in the future.

“Do you have the amount you want?”

“That’s not for me to decide.”

I’ve never received sponsorship in my life, and in the first place, it’s the heart of the person who supports me, not my heart.

“Then how about 10 gold coins every month?”

10 gold coins per month. If you don’t waste it, it’s enough money to play and eat without working. I’m afraid someone might not be a duke, so I spend a lot of money. But wouldn’t it be nice to receive more anyway?

“Do you think you’re giving your daughter some pocket money and spend a little more?”

I have four daughters at my party, how about spending some more money? That’s what I said. The corner of his left eye twitched slightly at what I had just said.

Why, do you think it’s a waste to spend money on the daughter you abandoned? However, after coming this far, Gerald, who thought that he could not do something that hadn’t been done, raised the price as if he was generous.

“…Yes. How about 20 gold coins?”

“What do you want from me with that?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Don’t be shy. How many people will support you out of pure kindness?”

“Heh. That’s right.”

This isn’t even a streaming site, who would sponsor me out of pure favor?

“What I want from you is when a monster invades, and that’s unlikely, but if a war breaks out with another family, it’s support.”

The latter is not realistic. I’ve never heard of a war going on here. Then, the monster invasion is a problem, but in fact, the former is a problem that almost all territories are experiencing. That’s why every territory has an adventurer’s guild.

However, if the ‘war with other families’ part is interpreted well, it has several meanings. What if Gerald instigates a war with another family in a cunning and wicked way, and I go to support him?

‘He’s no different from a bastard.’

I wouldn’t actually go that far, but I don’t think there’s any need to explain how human beings are creatures that make a lot of mistakes. Now that we’re done talking about the rough stuff, shall we move on to what we were originally going to do?

“Good. Now then…”

please die I said as I took the sword out of my inventory.

“·······.”

“···what?”

Gerald, no matter what he had prepared, was uninterestingly unresponsive. Rather, it was the embarrassed Richie who asked the question.

“Now, wait a minute, what do you mean, Luke? You didn’t say that…!”

Because, of course, I didn’t tell anyone. If you want to fool your enemies, you have to fool your allies first, right? I said it for nothing, but I didn’t say it because I was afraid you would bother me.

“Literally. I’m just disposing of garbage for world peace.”

If the upper water rots, the lower water rots as well. So it’s just filtering out the rotten water.

“Did you come here with this in mind?”

“Yes. Did you think money would be everything?”

In fact, the world is all about money. But that’s when you just give it or make it work for what’s right for the money. Like the military of any country, if you give 600,000 won a month and try to pamper yourself, you’d rather not get that money.

The moment I was about to say kill them all.

“······!”

“Ugh!”

“Oops…!”

Except for me, the three of them slammed their heads on the table as if they were suddenly exhausted.

“Now it seems to have taken effect.”

Foolishly, Gerald exposed as if he had done all this.

“It’s a paralysis poison. I’m a bit cautious.”

I must have put numbing poison in the black tea I had earlier. Somehow I wasn’t too upset. No matter how much it is, you feed paralysis poison to your own daughter. I must have lost my job by now.

But if there is one problem.

[ State abnormal resistance (B+) is activated. Cleanses paralysis. ]

That I’m fine

“But to be cautious, you haven’t done any research on the other person, have you?”

“······!”

Gerald was perplexed. Seems like this wasn’t expected. Hey, yesterday was the first time I saw you, so I guess I’ll have time to do some research.

In the first place, passive skills such as resistance to abnormal conditions were not visible on the outside, so it was only natural that no one knew about them except for Luna and Yui, who had been explained to me.

“One of my favorite things is stepping on people I think are strong. How did you know that you even prepared a line like this?”

I was thinking that if the lychee interfered, it would be a nuisance because there would be more to kill.

Lay him down on his own, how kind are you? How nice it would be if you used that kindness to others as well.

“So, father-in-law. Will you be the deceased adult?”
