King of succubus

"No, I wouldn't dare to doubt. It's just that the information is too shocking. Sigh, to say that we must face such monsters. I wonder if it would not be better for us to leave the planet." He murmured to himself. But Alvine could hear these words.

"Leaving the planet? It's a good choice for you, indeed." Alvine replied briefly. Having vampires in this war was certainly an appreciable help but, if they decide to flee; Alvine had no intention of arresting or treatises them as cowardly for their actions. On the contrary, he rather appreciated Noddra's idea. Knowing how to withdraw when the situation is unfavorable to us is also a form of wisdom and not cowardice. It's always better than dying unnecessarily. Finally, I think Noddra deserves his title of advisor.' He concludes with his thoughts.

But however, Noddra's following words made Alvine more perplexed than ever. "But this, however, we can't leave. In any case, not without you." He announced to him.

"Why is that? Sigh, if it's because you care about your queen's life then don't worry. I have no intention of committing suicide. And also stop taking me as a pathetic person. I lived well, fight battles before I met your queen. But as you can see, I am still alive and healthy. So don't try to tell me what to do. It's boring in the long run." He asserts with a frown.

"No, you misunderstood my words, it is normal for us to care about the well-being of our Lord and his protection. For us, You have the same status as the Queen. So it's quite normal...

"Sigh, enough talked about unbelieving words." Alvine waved his hand in front of his face by arresting Noddra who told him foolish words.

His confidence bar had not reached a level in which he would believe such stupidity. 'He really takes me for an idiot if he thinks he makes me believe in such nonsense.'

"What do you need? I have celestial and divine-grade artifacts and weapons. But they are not to be given for free." He says by taking out a mountain of weapons and all kinds of defense artifacts in his inventory.

Noddra had a new shock when he saw so many weapons appear from nowhere. And all were first qualities. Halberds, Swords of all qualities (long, medium, and short), Spears, and other artifacts such as magic absorption rings, necklaces that restore magic energy, etc.

Most surprisingly, Noddra can estimate that there were at least two thousand weapons in front of him without counting the artifacts!

'I have barely 1 million SS left after all these purchases with the system. I wonder if Randolph is not a blacksmith or a looter to have so many good things with him. Sigh, Unfortunately, he has no primordial weapon with him. But now that I think about it, I had found the Kimiko sword with a ring that was not identifiable by the system during my test in the Brisht tower. I would check the ring afterward to find out what it has. In any case, the planet Alzania is really a mysterious planet to house so many treasures that are priceless. First the philosopher's stone, the Odin stone, a primordial weapon, and finally, a strange ring that seems more high level than the sword itself.' He could not help but remember the abnormality of the first planet he had discovered after his transmigration.

Noddra reflected for a long time with his sparkling eyes when he saw Alvine come out of such riches as if nothing had happened. 'I now understand why he didn't envy the contents of this garden. Sigh, he is not only richer than the entire planet combined but he is also the most mysterious man I had ever met over the centuries.'

"Hmm, we can't have these weapons even if we wanted to. We simply do not have wealth that is equivalent to their values." He ends up pronouncing these words with a bitter expression. His eyes always carried a glimmer of greed when he realized that he could not have these weapons and artifacts for his kingdom. He was the advisor who took care of the first necessity of their kingdoms so it was obvious that he says so with a heavy heart like a stone at the bottom of a lake.

Alvine had a mischievous smile when he heard his words. Its objective was not gold or artifacts. He had no problem on this site. He was rather a maniac who stubbornly sought power. "Oh? It's a shame then." He says by putting them back directly in his shadow. He was not reckless with the system that made its whims at the right times. If Noddra was not with him, he even intended to move all his property to his shadow dimension, which had easy and safe access; except for the presence of Dalvine and the monarch of death!

"W-Wait!" Seeing Alvine put away his weapons without the slightest hesitation, Noddra stopped him. He no longer had the will to resist temptation. Although he considered Alvine as their lord, Alvine had too a merchant's heart that did not care about relationships when it came to doing business.

His index finger constantly tapping the table inadvertently proved his nervousness. Alvine was all the more joyful when he saw Noddra's reaction, it was the reaction he wanted to see from him. 'The more interested a customer is in the goods, the more their value increases.' He says to himself in his thoughts with an interior smile.

"Is there a problem?" But even though he guessed Noddra's intentions, he nevertheless pretended not to know anything.

"W-What do you say about that, I will bring you to the treasure room of our kingdom, you will choose the artifacts and stuff that interest you; then we will set the price according to the values?" He proposed this idea that had not yet crossed Alvine's mind.

But he still kept his cool. "Hmm, even if I don't think of something immediate that could interest me in that room, it would be badly polite on my part to refuse your proposal. But still, I have one more condition if you want us to do business." He announced by supporting his chin with his hand as if he were hesitant to accept Noddra's proposal.

"What condition is it?!" He asked at the same time, as if he was afraid that Alvine would change his mind.

"Sigh, as victory worries me as much as you do, I can't help but give you my support. But despite everything, it would be unfair to give you free of charge these treasures for which I had come close to death several times. You understand me, don't you?"

Valuing the goods without exaggeration was his second strategy. His words may seem exaggerated to most people who do not know the value of his treasures but not to Noddra who was an experienced cultivator.

"I understand and I know what you're talking about. So tell me your exigencies. As long as possible, I will honor him without fail." He nodded okay.

"Very good. I want to know everything about the techniques of fortifying the power of the soul. You are vampires who have more powerful spiritual powers and techniques than most other races. So, my request must not be unachievable or exaggerated. I'm right, aren't I?" He asked with a friendly smile.

"Hmm..."

Noddra plunged into his thoughts by weighing the pros and cons. Alvine did not interrupt him, he let him take all the time he needed to think about his proposal.

"I am confused, my lord." He finally said after a while.

Alvine raised his eyebrows thinking that his request was a little too much. But it was before Noddra could continue the rest of his sentence.

"You can access our archives and have teachers if you wish; this is your right to do this. Then it will not be an exchange but rather your seigneurial right." He told him the bottom of his thought after realizing that Alvine did not understand him.

'My privileges? Since when had I received such privileges and why? Sigh, in short, it would be stupid for me to refuse such an offer.'

"That's okay." Just after these words, the thousands of weapons and artifacts he had put in his shadow resurface in front of the hut door. "They are all yours. Provided you don't miss your words." He continued with a smile that went from one ear to another.

"!" Noddra's smile was no less subliminal than Alvine's when he heard her say these words.

But his attention was suddenly captured by the exciting but familiar voice. "Oh, oh, hooo~! Noddra since when did you have such treasures with you? Why are you only taking them out now?!" It was none other than Liliana who had just arrived with Sylvia who always had a thin smile on her lips.

"Hoho~, your Highness, you arrive right at the right time. In fact, these weapons had just been offered by the lord. He...

While Noddra, joyfully explained the current situation to the queen to the point of forgetting the respect he owed to her, Sylvia sneaked at Alvine and asked him with a hint of curiosity. "What are you still dealing with? I'm ready to believe that the goddess Reha is inside this hut rather than believing that you are doing all this out of pure kindness of heart."

​ "Hehe, you'll know soon. I am not a charitable person. Everything at a price in this world." He answers briefly before sitting on his chair while focusing on the ongoing battle between his shadow soldiers and magic beasts.

"Tsk, stop stimulating my curiosity and tell me what you had in exchange. I doubt that gold or something similar may interest you."

"Ho? My little angel, the only stimulation I will give you is tonight. So be patient and wait again." Retorted Alvine with a teasing smile but who bore a hint of Machiavellianism.

"Urgh, have you become drunk or what? In short, it will no longer work for me. Tell me what happened instead." She insisted knowing that Alvine was only trying to get her abandoned.

"Sigh, you'll know when the time comes. But if you insist so much on wanting to know more, what would you say about exchanging a mutual exchange? You tell me what you are looking to organize with the queen and the vampires about me and in exchange, I would tell you what I intend to do." He proposed to her with a hint of self-satisfaction. Regardless of the type of debt, he would never leave unpaid; even if it is insignificant.

Sylvia denies him with annoyance realizing that Alvine had no intention of saying her from the beginning. "Tsk, do as you want, but believe me, you will soon have...

"That's it! They have finally reached the final phase!" He suddenly exclaimed by cutting Sylvia's words while he focused his attention on the small dimensional passage.

It was only then that Sylvia noticed the little dark mirror that was placed on the table. She looked closer, but just three seconds later, she instinctively understood what was happening. "Wait, this mirror, don't tell me it's...

"Yes and no, it's not a mirror. In short, you have already understood the essentials so you don't need too many explanations. Let's just follow what is happening right now. I'm curious to know Darka's level of intelligence in order to know whether or not I can send her alone on a mission in the future." He explained briefly by looking at the battle with a solemn expression.

"What is it?? A simulation?" Liliana asked Alvine with placid eyes.

"As a way, yes." He had neither the will nor the time for explanations. He knew that Noddra would explain it afterward.

The reason for his sudden concentration was that Darka and her squad had just begun the battle with the emperor beasts after exterminating the holy beasts.

As I had planned, it is now that this Wyvern is trying to arrest them. Sigh, let's hope they can kill at least a hundred beast emperors before running out of ideas. So far, none of them has suffered injuries yet. Therefore, I don't have to worry about running out of dark energy at the moment. Sigh, if I could at least convert my mana points or RE points into dark energy, I wouldn't have as many problems. But the nature of their energies differs altogether from mana or primordial energy. This was also the reason why the magic beasts had not been able to discover the presence of Darka who observed them and also the reason why even Sylvia had not spotted the dimensional tunnel.' He concludes.

'Now, is the real battle begins. Show me how much you look like me, Darka!' He continued with exciting and impatient eyes.
