Great Nobleman

Brand's perspective.

Brand, who turned his head in doubt following the "visitor prompt", saw the crack that was closing rapidly at a glance.

Because the crack was about to close, Brand didn't think much about it.

Under his control, the silver-white metal branches "raised up" and pierced towards the crack.

Then came a burst of crazy growth.

As the metal branches became thicker and thicker, the cracks were gradually opened.

Just as Brand was curiously about to explore what was behind the crack, he suddenly felt that the "growth" of the metal branches had been hindered.

Brand immediately began to "step up the game."

But the next moment, Brand felt that the part of the metal branch behind the crack was destroyed by some kind of high temperature.

Under the scorching heat, even part of the "trunk" in front of Brand was melted.

Then, as if he didn't want him to peek behind the crack again.

Without giving Brand any time to react, the crack closed instantly.

The crack closed suddenly, and Brand, who hadn't reacted, was still a little dazed.

It's fine that the simulated world can have visitors, but what does it mean to run away without seeing them?

Are you scared?

But even a metal with such a high melting point can be melted at once, so it should be very strong, right?

After waiting for a while before the crack reappeared, Brand turned his attention to the rhinos in the street below.

These rhinos should be a "gift" from that "visitor"!

Brand was in a good mood. He felt that the visitor was too polite.

Knowing that there are no moving living things here, so many are sent to him now!

Look at those black rhinos that flatten and round all kinds of reinforced concrete in the city.

Brand looked at the past unconsciously with a hint of inquiry.

By the way, I heard from the boss when I accompanied Catherine to buy armor not long ago.

The most expensive magic equipment in the Farnese Continent is made of various materials from Warcraft.

And the "armor" on these rhinos looks very unusual.

If it is used to make magic equipment, it can be regarded as an advanced material, right?

"I just don't know if I can manifest the past."

...

In his own bedroom, Brand looked excitedly at a small piece of irregularly shaped "rhinoceros armor" in front of him.

——that he broke off from a black armored rhinoceros.

Facts have proved that although this thing was not created by him, it exists in the simulated world after all, and there is no problem in manifesting it.

That is, in addition to consuming mental power, an additional magic power equivalent to the material is consumed.

"The magic core can be directly absorbed over there, and all the materials can be used to make equipment! This rhino is really a good thing!"

All of a sudden, Brand had a great affection for that "visitor".

...

On the second day after the "seasoning deal" was successfully concluded.

rare.

Mr. Holland, who has always allowed his two sons to "grow freely", called the two sons over, and then told them earnestly that they should become a person with "ideals" and "pursuits".

Under the water of the long "chicken soup", Brand fell asleep after hearing it.

It's not all because of the dullness of what Master Holland said.

Before being called over by Master Holland, Brand manifested a small piece of "rhinoceros horn", which consumed a lot of mental power, and he has not recovered yet.

On Yersin's side, at the beginning, he listened very carefully.

But after discovering that the old man Holland was talking about unrealistic empty talk and pictures, Yersin turned his attention to other aspects.

For example, Master Holland just took it out of the drawer, and he would eat two from time to time, red and curved...

The fruit of a certain plant?

Yersin frowned slightly. He had memorized the "Farnes Continental Plant Encyclopedia" backwards, but he couldn't recognize the fruit of this plant!

So is this the fruit of a recently discovered valuable new plant?

Look at the way Master Holland enjoys eating.

Yersin couldn't help sighing: The guy who found this thing is really lucky! Must have made a lot of money with this thing!

Seeing Yersin staring at the peppers on the plate in his hand.

Master Holland smiled and said:

"If you want to eat it, you can take it yourself, but it's best to eat slowly when you eat it for the first time, its taste is a bit 'stimulating'!"

Yersin, who has always been self-disciplined, is actually not a greedy person, but since his father said so, it is hard to turn down his hospitality.

Yersin is also curious about what the fruit of this "new plant" tastes like.

At a place Yersin didn't notice, Brand opened his eyes wide at some point and looked over with an "exploring" expression.

Not long ago, when I caught sight of Master Holland taking out a plate of chili peppers that he called "devil's spicy" at some point, and "chewing" with enjoyment without changing his face.

Brand woke up with a fright.

He wondered in shock whether Master Holland's senses were so slightly different from ordinary people's!

When Yersin was also curiously going forward to try it, Brand's eyes were full of curiosity and exploration.

Not for any other reason, he just wanted to see if Yersin had inherited the "unique" taste of Grand Master Holland.

Anyway, he didn't!

The result disappointed Brand a little.

Judging by Yersin's rapidly flushed cheeks, he didn't get the inheritance from Lord Holland either!

"Drink some water."

Seeing Yersin blushing, with a "bewildered" expression.

Master Holland thoughtfully poured Yersin a glass of water.

Master Holland is also very clear that this kind of "excitement" is not something that everyone can "enjoy".

Interrupted by the chili issue, Master Holland finally stopped his endless "chicken soup".

"I think you must be very curious, why are you called here today to talk about ideals and pursuits, which are relatively vague things."

As Master Holland spoke, he took out a map from the cabinet next to him.

——That is a map of the Kaya Empire and its surrounding areas.

"Our Kaya Empire is located in the northeast corner of the Human Alliance."

After explaining the location of the empire, Lord Holland pointed to the northern border of the empire.

"Over the past 200 years, the northern border of the empire has moved north five times."

Master Holland used two fingers to compare the distance he moved north each time, and then continued to move north, pointing to the "Endless Sea" which was a certain distance away from the northern border of the Kaya Empire.

"Based on the average distance that the border has been pushed northward in the past, the border of the Kaya Empire can extend to the endless sea with only two more visits."

After giving the two sons some time to digest, Master Holland pointed to a large area in the east of the Kaya Empire, which connected the ocean:

"This is the forest of elves."

Then, Lord Holland pointed to the middle area between the Kaya Empire and the Forest of Elves:

"The continuous frozen soil and snow-capped mountains separate the Kaya Empire from the Forest of Elves, and even the most powerful caravan dare not easily set foot in it."

Grandpa Holland re-pointed his finger on the endless sea in the north of the empire, and then slid his finger along the sea surface, bypassing the stretch of frozen snow-covered mountains, and moved to the border between the forest of elves and the endless sea.

"And once we push the border north to the endless sea, we can bypass the stretches of frozen soil and snow-capped mountains, and open up sea trade routes with the elves!"

Speaking of this, Master Holland put his hands on the table, looked down at his two sons, and said slowly:

"Based on the various information available, our empire is very likely to reserve military forces for another Northern Expedition within the next two years! I don't need to remind you what will happen then."
