The wealthy merchant, with a generous heart, did everything in his power to help the people of the fallen nation.
For an ordinary person who hasn't even unlocked a rank, achieving this level is already incredible.
Soon, the nobles who had partnered with the wealthy merchants finally revealed their hidden venom.
More than twenty knights disguised as assassins swarmed out to rob and kill a wealthy businessman under the cover of a torrential downpour.
Accompanied by a truly real cannon shot from another world,
the next day,
The knights lay dead in the wilderness, their flesh mangled and bloody, as if their armor had been smashed through by a heavy hammer, their internal organs pierced as well!
The nobles were shocked and furious, but the wealthy merchants had vanished without a trace, and the battlefield still reeked of gunpowder smoke.
...
cave
The elderly wealthy merchant, clutching the wound on his arm, finally stopped the bleeding and neutralized the toxins with some special herbs and rare medicines.
He lay on the moss-covered stone slab, panting heavily, his vision blurred.
I've been in this other world for forty years now...
The childishness and naivety on his face have been replaced by wrinkles and composure.
he,
Looking up at the cave entrance after the downpour, I felt a sense of loss.
So what if they're time travelers?
Even if he invented gunpowder weapons, without the power to protect them, it would all be in vain.
Here,
Extraordinary beings can control thunder and flames, burn mountains and boil seas, create heaven and earth, and are omnipotent!
"My lord, the Earl has spoken. If you hand over the design drawings, the Earl is willing to hire you."
The guards who followed closely behind entered.
The wealthy businessman looked at him indifferently, without exchanging any words.
A flash of sword light, followed by a sharp gunshot!
The guard fell to the ground, his helmet shattered, revealing a bloody hole between his eyebrows.
The wealthy businessman put down his gun and fell down as well.
A sword was stuck in his chest, slightly off-center from his heart…
His eyes,
Gradually dissipating,
A mocking smile played at the corners of his lips…
he,
Quietly,
Waiting for my own death...
Looking back on the ups and downs of my life,
Orphan, shepherd, lumberjack, tailor, gunpowder maker, merchant…
That's all.
He has the destiny to travel through time, but not the fortune of a protagonist.
Having lived most of his life in this other world where power reigns supreme, he has a very clear understanding of things…
"Oh, mortal, are you just going to... wait to die?"
A light laugh,
Flowing gently like a clear spring.
It sounds pleasant and soothing to the ears of a dying person.
...
"Let's try again."
grassland,
The boy brushed his shoulder-length black hair aside with one hand, but his starry eyes revealed a hint of wickedness.
He glanced at the flock of sheep in the distance, and a pair of sheepdogs, a hint of longing in his eyes.
Subsequently,
Unlike the first time, I didn't develop a familial bond with them.
Instead, he turned back indifferently, taking advantage of his rebirth, and strolled leisurely towards a place where wealth was buried.
"Hey, aren't you going to get to know them? You're really heartless..."
An elegant female voice echoed in my mind.
The boy pursed his lips, but did not slow down.
This deity named Yao Xi took a liking to him because he was an extraterrestrial visitor.
In his previous life, he was meant to hone his pride as a transmigrator. When he was in dire straits, he grasped at the last straw, which made him dependent on it.
The boy sneered.
Look up at the sky of yesteryear.
A dynasty's dominance is within reach...
...
"You're the talent recommended by mentor Finch?"
On the throne, the veiled princess appeared completely different from her gentle demeanor during the day.
Her long, shimmering golden hair cascaded down to her waist, and her delicate, pretty face resembled a rose blooming in a palace—gentle and beautiful.
Her deep red eyes stared at the black-robed youth kneeling in the main hall, and she said coldly, "I'd like to hear what solutions you have for resolving the troop shortage in the north."
"I humbly request Your Highness to lend me an infantry regiment for testing purposes. In ten days, I will surely be able to reclaim the grassland trade route."
"Cavities are in short supply, so I can only lend you an infantry unit temporarily. Although it's not elite, it still has the fighting power of regular soldiers," the princess said indifferently.
"In seven days, we will annihilate the bandits and reclaim the trade route!"
The young man spoke respectfully, his tone firm and confident.
"...You said it yourself!" The princess was surprised for a moment, then said coldly.
Arrogant fellows, born into royalty, have been seen many times before.
Out of respect for her mentor Finch, she temporarily agreed to the request.
"Three days!"
Suddenly, the young man said coldly, "Three days later, the bandits will be completely wiped out. Your Highness can send a trusted confidant to check it out."
"you!"
The princess's face turned cold.
This guy is so arrogant and conceited!
Three days? That probably doesn't even include the round trip!
"I'm tired, I'm leaving."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Before leaving, the young man turned his head again, his deep, dark eyes revealing a hint of wickedness: "Your Highness, strawberry color may be a bit childish, but it is indeed quite pretty."
Upon hearing this, the princess was first taken aback, then she closed her legs and flew into a rage!
As he stepped out of the palace, the young man maintained a refined and scholarly demeanor.
"That's too ruthless... And how did you know she was wearing strawberry-colored clothes?" Yao Xi asked curiously.
"Just a guess."
The young man smiled but said nothing.
The outcome will be clear in three days.
The princess's first impression of him was that he was a man with a bad attitude but capable, which was much better than a scheming person.
...
winter.
The magnificent palace was covered in snow, while outside, artillery fire raged and gunfire was constant.
