The Overlord of Blood and Iron Chapter 224

Chapter 224
Chapter 224: Into the Dark Forest
Marriage .
The crowning quest .
The Awakening quest .
As well as the Tagore soldiers . Leaving these things behind, Kang Chul-In immediately headed back towards the Pandemonium region .
Before getting into the Teleportation circle, Kang Chul-In vowed to himself that he would save Kim Sung-Hee .
Was this not a cool and badass woman?
The passion and the determination to get stronger .
Kim Sung-Hee had risked her life in order to gain strength, and this was something that Kang Chul-In extremely respected .
And not only that,
“If you save my daughter, I will help you expand your business and go overseas . For Old Man Kwon, it would be difficult to go anywhere other than maybe like Japan . ”
“ . . . ”
“Sung-Hee is my precious daughter . For that child…”
“So, you wanna save your daughter and put your hands in my business?”
“ . . . !”
“Really, do you think that half-assed acting would work against me? If you’re going to do that, look for someone else . ”
“Pretty smart for a youngster . I thought you were just a strong…”
“Do you wanna die?”
“ . . . !”
“This is between me and Kim Sung-Hee; it’s none of your business . ”
“But I’m the father of…”
“The next time you continue to speak, I will break your teeth . Understand?”
“A-Alright… Please…”
He didn’t feel good that Kim Sung-Hee’s father was trying to use his daughter as a potential way to make money . And not only that, the fact that he was trying to use Kang Chul-In to make money as well didn’t sit well with him either .
“Let’s go, husband . ”
The Ninetails pulled Kang Chul-In .
“Is it ready?”
The reason this was happening was that his servants argued that he should enjoy the company of the Ninetails . After all, it would only make sense if she was to become his wife .
Well, it shouldn’t be too bad anyway .
For once, Kang Chul-In agreed with them .
The Ninetails had come from a completely different environment than him .
There were a lot of things they had to work on .
“Huhu, a trip with my husband… I’m so excited . ”
The Ninetails twisted her body, excited .
Boing .
The touch of something soft and bouncy landed on Kang Chul-In’s arm .
“Why aren’t you talking, husband?”
“ . . . We’re in front of my subordinates right now . ”
Saying that, Kang Chul-In tried to take out his arm from the Ninetails’s embrace .
“Hmph, mean!”
The Ninetails pouted .
But it wasn’t the expression of someone that was truly depressed or angry, because the Ninetails herself knew that Kang Chul-In had become much warmer compared to when they had first met .
“I will be back . I’m leaving everything up to you . Understood?’
“Yes, Milord . Have a good time!”
The subordinates spoke in unison .
***
A few hours after that, Kang Chul-In had left .
Timothy’s body shook, staring at a document .
It said the following:
Amount borrowed: 120,000 gold
Sale: 20,000 gold (20%)
Final fee: 100,000 gold
Payment form: Lump sum payment .
From: Overlord of the Dorado territory, Lee Chae-Rin
“W-What is this…”
“Obviously, it’s an invoice . ”
The envoy and the foreign minister of the Dorado territory, the Dwarf Golgo, said .
M-Milord! Are you planning on killing me?!
Timothy inwardly despaired .
To think they had to immediately pay 100,000 gold at once… to him, who was supposed to manage the money in the territory, this was like the sky collapsing on him .
No, no . . . Let’s calm down, Timothy . Was I not the one to help the territory when it was in a state of poverty? There must be a method!
Timothy tried his best to remain cool-headed .
There had to be a solution to this .
And,
“Payment over time!”
Timothy played his final card .
“Is it not possible to pay this over time? Over 36 months, or even 12…”
“No . ”
But Golgo answered immediately .
“W-Why?!”
“Because apparently, Overlord Kang Chul-In said that a man should pay at once . ”
“H-Hiik!”
Hearing Golgo’s words, Timothy started to choke,
And…
Tulsuk…
Fell to the ground, clutching the back of his neck .
***
At the same time in the office of the Bifrost Territory . . .
“We need to group up . ”
After staring at the map for a couple of hours, Albrecht Vilhelm finally made a decision . His gaze was on the Ishtar region, where Kang Chul-In’s Laputa territory was located .
“There isn’t any Lord that can withstand Kang Chul-In’s army right now . It is obvious that if we don’t ally together, we will all fall eventually, like Baruk Al-Yusuf and Aleister…”
There were Overlords that had previously fallen to Kang Chul-In before, and as the second ranked Overlord, Kang Chul-In was extremely threatening to him .
There was only one answer left .
“Alliance, we need to work together!”
To group up with other Lords, with him as the leader, that was the only method left .
“Hey!”
“Yes, Milord!”
As Albrecht Vilhelm shouted, one of his subordinates responded .
“Immediately get the envoys and messengers together and request a call with any Lords that have a good… no, all Lords, even if they don’t have a good relationship with us . ”
“Yes, Milord!”
Vilhelm’s decision was what would decide the future of Pangaea .
This would be the start of the Gullveig Alliance, which had been one of the 3 forces that controlled a third of Pangaea in the past!
***
Along with the Ninetails and Dorian, Kang Chul-In headed towards the Dark Forest .
“Milord, from here we’ll lead the way . ”
Roughly twenty White Lion Knights bowed towards Kang Chul-In respectfully .
“Oh, right . ”
While they were walking in the forest, Dorian suddenly spoke .
“Kang Chul-In, I saw something strange . ”
“Something strange?”
‘Yeah, there was something weird in the Necromantic Bay . I took a picture of it as well!”
Saying that, Dorian took something out of his pocket that looked rectangular .
“So you see this? This is…”
“An Obscura? It’s a polaroid camera from Pangaea . ”
“ . . . How did you know?”
“Hmph, you’re inside my grasp . ”
Kang Chul-In said laughing,
D-Don’t tell me… Kang Chul-In is stalking me?
Dorian thought of some weird things, like he usually did .
“Anyways, give that to me . ”
Saying that Kang Chul-In took the Obscura in Dorian’s hands .
[Epic] Obscura
Oh, the undying memories!
Type: Recording Device
Requirements: None
Cost: 1000 Gold every time
Special Ability: [Instantaneous Recording!]
-With a ‘click!’ sound, the present will be recorded .
The epic Item Obscura was the only item that could replace the modern-day camera in Pangaea .
“So, what’s the weird thing?”
“Look at the second photo . ”
At Dorian’s words, Kang Chul-In pressed a button and moved to the second photo .
And,
“What on…”
Kang Chul-In’s expression stiffened .
“What kind of disgusting…”
“Exactly . What the hell is that thing?”
Inside this picture was a half split cocoon . It looked like a house or a form of defense for when a bug prepares for chrysalis .
