How To Suck Honey With Extras [EN]: Chapter 212

236. Preparing for New Business (7)

The level of ‘Spiritism’ you possess has reached a realm attained by only a select few in the current world.

In ‘Spiritism,’ your level has reached 30th among all beings.

Only 29 spiritists are better than me—what a declining age.

More than that, it was that high.

I knew from the original work that the level of spiritists in this era had declined significantly, but I didn’t know it was to this extent.

Acquired Influence Points: 270pt

Remaining Influence Points: 504pt

They even give points as a reward for the achievement.

How generous.

I want to evolve other spirits right away, but let’s postpone that for later.

I’m tired too, and more than anything, the amplification device I installed wasn’t intact either.

Five out of the ten pillars I installed were broken.

I guess I need to make them more robust.

“Anyway, this theory will be useful for a long time.”

“It’s not something to be simply happy about.”

He voiced his concern.

“If other spiritists know that there is a way to assist the evolution of spirit power, they won’t stay still. Will you be okay?”

“I have no intention of commercializing this. It’s just something I’ll use for my own benefit.”

There is a risk of abuse, so I will manage and use it myself.

‘Anyway, I need to grow stronger and prepare for it now.’

That’s the only way.

Because the time will come soon.

The time when a new incident will occur.

Soon, Pelen Throne will appear in the world and fight the protagonist.

‘The Pelen Throne-related episode will begin.’

I’m going to match it.

* * *

The end is coming.

To be precise, the end has already come.

He had already experienced a terrible end once.

‘Everything disappeared.’

The brilliant civilization, the many famous heroes—none could overcome that destruction.

‘No one could stop it…….’

He just had to watch everything in the world evaporate.

Even more terrible was that he could only watch such an end.

He couldn’t do anything, let alone stop it.

He could only despair as he watched everything disappear as ‘He’ warned.

‘Why did it have to disappear…….’

He pondered it for countless hours.

And finally, he came to a conclusion.

Yes, the reason is simple, isn’t it?

‘Because they were weak.’

Because the power of humans was weak, because there were weak people, all humans could not unite and resist.

They even recognized the future before the destruction.

Many talented people warned and urged them to prepare.

But what did the foolish humans do?

The weak criticized each other, did not believe, and simply denied reality and turned their heads away.

It’s too late to try to persuade them.

Their weak way of thinking took away the grace period to prepare for the end.

That’s why he decides.

‘Only a world without the weak can win the future.’

The world is approaching another end.

The weak humans of today are not even aware of that fact.

What must be done to avoid repeating the same mistakes?

He already believes he knows the answer himself.

‘We must create a world where only the strong exist.’

That is the truth that the nightmare that has not faded over the years has taught him.

* * *

“……That’s unusual.”

Pelen Throne, the head of the Continental Integration Council, slowly opened his eyes and muttered.

How long has it been since he recalled old dreams… the 모습 [appearance] of that era?

He thought it would only remain vaguely in his head now, but human memory is surprisingly tenacious.

When he thinks about it, has he ever slept so deeply as to have a proper dream since that day?

It seems he’s relaxed.

It was understandable.

The time is approaching when he will take the first step in building the ideal world he has been determined to create for a long time.

A world where only the strong remain, which he believes is right….

A world that will not perish, an eternal world….

The time to realize it will come soon.

However, even with that time approaching, Pelen Throne’s 심기 [state of mind] was not very comfortable.

“The recovery of the magic book failed… Pemalt… he messed up at the end.”

Contact with executive Pemalt has been lost.

He secretly ordered her to recover something.

A legacy left by Asilla, who was considered the best magician of the civilization 20,000 years ago.

To be precise, one of the means she tried to use to prepare for the destruction.

That information came into his hands, and he wanted to obtain it for his plan.

However, the legacy of 20,000 years ago is dangerous.

He couldn’t easily trust even his subordinates.

However, he cannot directly intervene.

If it’s a simple battle, it doesn’t matter.

However, it is dangerous if he actively comes into contact with the legacy of the past.

Interveners will surely come.

When he incited the demons that day to build the ritual site, he lost interest and left in the middle, but he felt traces of a different being interfering behind him.

‘That monster.’

He can’t move rashly.

But he can’t just sit still.

The fact that that different being is rampant means that there is not much time left.

That’s why he entrusted the acquisition of the magic book to Pemalt, an executive who best understands his ideology….

“……Was that all he was worth?”

He shook his head and pushed the dead subordinate to a corner of his mind.

He can always repay the sacrificed subordinate someday.

The greater cause comes first now.

“Lupel, are you there?”

He called Duke Lupel, an executive who is active in the Selvas Kingdom.

Immediately, in less than a second, a middle-aged nobleman prostrated himself in a hurry.

“Y-Your Highness…… what brings you here…….”

Still trembling.

It’s not a very pleasing 모습 [sight/appearance].

If that man were not a descendant of the Selpenea family, who had served him for generations, he might have crushed him as he was.

However, he is a creature who knows how to wield the power of authority, even though his physical strength is weak.

Then that should also be considered power.

“Report the progress.”

He ordered Lupel to report on the plan.

“T-The plan is going smoothly! I have already won over all the nobles who have potential, and I am waiting for Your Highness’s instructions. No one will be able to easily interfere with Your Highness.”

“I don’t care about that. Even if there are a few annoying guys, I can personally tear them apart.”

“How could there be any objection? But it’s better to reduce even the slightest uncertainty.”

“Hmm…….”

“E-Everything is for Your Highness’s great cause.”

Lupel answered obsequiously.

His attitude was servile, but his work was flawless.

He didn’t like it, but he could trust him.

“And…… this is what Your Highness separately ordered to investigate…….”

“Hoo?”

He rarely showed a reaction.

Lupel became even more cautious when he noticed that change in his lord.

“As you said, traces of the ‘key’ were found in the Selvas Kingdom. Most of the records have been confirmed to be true.”

“Yes, that key? Were the fools of the Selvas Kingdom managing it after all?”

“Rather than managing it, it seems they have forgotten its existence.”

“They’re letting a treasure rot. ……Well, that’s good. It will make it easier for me to achieve my goal.”

Very rarely, he showed interest.

Because that is the key to creating the world he wants.

“Then is it the right time? ……No, is it too late beyond this?”

Executive Pemalt was eliminated by someone.

He can’t be sure, but it’s true that someone is running wild.

It’s not that there’s nothing else suspicious.

It was when he was interested in coaxing the demons to cooperate in summoning the Demon King.

The boy who got caught up at that time.

‘Could it be that brat?’

Then he can’t just sit still.

Is it appropriate to just sit on the throne like this?

“Your Highness?”

“Lupel, prepare.”

Lupel’s shoulders flinched at those words.

“P-Prepare, you mean?”

“That’s right. I’ll have to step in. I’ll secure the ‘key’ first.”

He has no intention of just bowing down.

“Or are you dissatisfied?”

“H-How could I be! This humble servant has been eagerly awaiting this moment for generations! Right away! I’ll prepare right away!”

Lupel trembled, whether from emotion or fear, and disappeared.

“Hmm.”

Pelen Throne clenched his fist on the armrest of the throne.

He has already made up his mind.

‘In this weak world, the same tragedy will only be repeated…….’

Is it because he had a nightmare of that time? His 격정 [passion/fervor] is burning more than usual.

He trembled with his clenched fist and could not easily release the force.

The time is coming. And he will confirm it.

That is the completion of a world where no one, nothing is lost.

He is surely convinced.

237. Founding Day (1)

New potion, new product.

While preparing all of that, I spent every day in a fulfilling and intense time without even being able to breathe….

Finally, the day I turned nineteen passed.

‘This year will be a meaningful year…….’

All preparations are going smoothly.

The workshop is fully equipped, and the other races I have already hired have acquired enough skills to meet my standards.

It’s all thanks to everyone’s efforts.

All that’s left is to open the store and make it known!

However, I have not yet given the starting signal.

To be precise, I can’t give it.

‘Not yet…….’

The timing is not good right now.

Because an incident will definitely happen.

Soon, the head of the Continental Integration Council, Pelen Throne, will attack the royal castle and clash with Sylvester once.

The goal of the head of the Continental Integration Council.

That is the destruction of all current countries, including the Selvas Kingdom, and the birth of a new single country centered on himself.

As a result, there will be great chaos.

‘So, I have to officially open the store after that…….’

If I open the store now, it will fail.

The question is, when should I set that time?

‘However, I can’t find an answer by just waiting…….’

Once the economy is shaken, it will not recover easily.

It usually suffers from the aftermath for at least a few years, or even decades.

The protagonist saves the world, but he doesn’t save the common people’s economy.

‘But do I really have to let that damage happen?’

I wondered.

He’s just a villain who will be defeated by the protagonist anyway.

Then all I have to do is bring out the conflict and the result, right?

‘Can I bring out the 결전 [decisive battle] of Pelen Throne and Sylvester as quickly as possible?’

As soon as he starts acting, I’ll bring the conclusion as quickly as possible.

As soon as it starts, the boss battle is in the next chapter.

What if I try to implement that plan?

‘Originally, it would take three months from the start to the resolution of the incident…….’

But waiting three months is too long.

So.

‘I’m going to finish it in less than a month.’

In other words.

The project begins.

A time attack aiming for the shortest clear using the original development!

I will open that magnificent curtain!

Not only him.

I will end all the villains who will appear later, one by one, in the shortest route.

Let’s make it a model first case.

‘Okay. Pelen Throne, I’ll finish you off first.’

More than anything, I don’t like that big 아저씨 [middle-aged man]’s ideology.

I had enough reason to interfere even with personal feelings.

* * *

In order to intervene in the incident, it was necessary to go to the place that would be the center of the incident.

I left everyone to prepare for opening the store and headed to the royal capital alone.

Selpania, the royal capital of the Selvas Kingdom.

As a city that is the center of the kingdom, it is famous as the largest and most magnificent city in the kingdom.

As soon as I arrived there, I looked around the 정경 [scene/landscape] and sighed deeply.

‘It’s still peaceful here.’

Is it just peaceful?

The whole city is full of strange 활기 [vitality/energy].

Carriages come and go without a break, and people are busy preparing something.

Some people are setting up tents on the street as if they are already trying to set up several stalls.

It seems I came at the right time.

I approached a merchant who was starting to grill something that looked like a pig and spoke to him.

“It smells great.”

“Oh? Do you recognize it? Our guys barely got it.”

“The whole royal capital is bustling. What’s going on?”

“Don’t you know? I see. You must be from another 지방 [region/province].”

The merchant, who was convinced by my attitude, pointed to one place with his thumb.

Towards the huge castle that can be seen far away from the end of the city.

“A big event will be held on that day to commemorate the founding day.”

“Aha~.”

As planned.
