7 KINGDOMS: conquest
112.the city of Raine

for several days, Noran continued to hunt monsters to get the materials he needed. Now, there were 51 disguise masks he had made.

this mask is able to hide identity for 12 hours with the use of mana 12,000 mana.

Noran was still so eager to tame that King level monster, yet he had no idea how many slots he needed to tame it. Not to mention, the monster had tens of thousands of subordinates.

with only 50 knights and himself, it would be impossible to tame them. Noran then handed out disguise masks to everyone.

with their mana, they were able to use it for 12 hours without worry. With a level of 120, where they were enough to fill the need of a disguise mask.

Noran thought, it would be bad if their abilities were drastically reduced just due to the disguise mask.he planned to make recovery potions upon arriving in the city.

they then walked out of the forest, towards the nearby town of Raine. After a while, they finally arrived at the main gate of Raine city.

as Noran had expected, there were dozens of imperial soldiers on standby.

10 Soldiers were seen holding bows with arrows pulled tight, ready to be released at any time as ordered.then, there were 10 soldiers shielded with lances lined up.

Noran frowned, it was the phalanx formation, which the Greek and famous warrior had used throughout history.

"phalanx formations?" thought Noran.

he marched with the rest of the crowd.After some time, his turn came.The soldier looked at him coldly.

show me your identity!" he said with a little scream.

Noran took his adventurer card and showed it to the soldier...

in Acadia, adventurous cards have many benefits.One of the most useful benefits is the freedom to travel after passing the F rank.

with his A rank, he easily passed them by, however, for his 50 knights he did not apply.

they suspected him and pointed a weapon at them. Seeing the situation is not good, Noran approached the officer.

"they are the workers I brought from the village at the end of there. I hope you can let us in, I have a little gift for you" Noran said.

he took 30 gold coins and gave them to the officer.Judging from his face, he accepted this gladly despite displaying an indifferent attitude.

"there are 30 gold coins for master, master can use them at will. if you'd like, can you help us?" ask Noran.

"what can I do for you?" said the officer.

his attitude becomes more gentle and friendly.Yes, wherever the power of money remains the best.

"we need a good inn and it's quite cheap, can you show me?" ask Noran.

"stay? there is an inn not far from here, find an inn with the inscription Bear Brother.it's a cheap inn with good facilities" said the officer.

Noran gave the officer another 10 gold coins, making him smile.

"thank you sir, sorry to bother you" Noran said.

"no need to hesitate brother, you can ask whenever you want" said the officer.

Noran nodded and walked in with the 50 knights present.for the first step, he wanted to find a home sales shop.

the first thing was to open a shop to trick the empire, he then went around the city and looked for existing property sellers.

after a long drive around, he found the place he was looking for - a fat man with a gold necklace and a red fan in his hand.

with his appearance, one could tell if this man was very prosperous and prosperous. Noran then sat down before him and said his point.

he wanted to buy a store with a good position.The man looked to be thinking and playing his fan.

"the shop you're looking for is the one that has a good place?" ask the man.

"yes, if it could be on the main street. would there be?" ask Noran.

"it might be expensive sir" said the man.

"how much?" ask Noran.

"maybe about 3,000 gold coins sir" said the man.

from the time he heard it, he knew the intentions of this fat man to hit a price on him however, Noran had no choice and decided to take it.

"well, I'll take that place" Noran said.

Noran took out 3,000 gold coins on the table, the fat man looked so happy to see the large pile of gold coins before him.

the fat man then drove him to the place he meant. Again, the fat man looked uneasy.

seeing this, Noran became uncomfortable and asked him.

"what's wrong?" ask Noran.

"sir, this shop is haunted by you" said the fat man.

"helped?" noran.

"yes sir, this store is haunted. there are many prospective buyers who canceled the purchase when they saw this store" said the fat man.

Noran was curious, what was with the store? what's the store like?

after a long walk, they finally arrived at the intended shop, an old shop with antique decorations.

Blair Curving's...

this shop was a chisel shop before, the owner decided to sell it after experiencing so many distractions.

they then entered the house.The interior that does look unkempt.

dust was seen everywhere, almost filling the entire space.then, there were many cobwebs on the roof.

hundreds of sculptures in the form of animals and humans are seen in front of him. existing sculptures almost filled the room.

"a very dirty place, we have to clean it up." thought Noran.

he then walked through this room, across the hallway that filled with sculptures.they finally arrived at a place that is quite spacious.

there are several paintings there, with different drawings.one painting features a knight, another painting features a noble with a pointy mustache.

then, there is a painting of a noble family complete with their daughters and sons.

Merish...

that was the name of the noble family, which attracted the attention of Noran was a painting of a girl in the middle of the room.

it was a beautiful girl in a white dress and was smiling sweetly.they then walked slowly while observing the room.

however, just a few steps Noran felt his back cold.all the fur on his back stood up from feeling the threat.

he turned his head to look at the painting of the girl, as if the painting continued to observe them.

"what's wrong, sir?" ask the fat man.

"who's the girl?" ask Noran.

"that girl? she was the daughter of the lord Marquess Merish.As she lived, she had a very beautiful face.In fact, the fourth prince was infatuated with her.

but unfortunately, he died a year ago right when he was 15 years old, and since then, the Merish family has been destroyed and dropped into an ordinary family" said the fat man.
