The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 732

Black Robb denies that he is a snob.

He might even view the wealthy with more prejudice.

He believes that the vast majority of rich people are rich because, at least when they became wealthy, they either did a lot of immoral things or did fewer immoral things, but the nature of those things was even worse.

Then here's the question: you criticize Rob, don't you think worldly morality is too vulgar and don't talk about it?

Yes, I have transcended the three realms, but the rich do not have that qualification and are still struggling in the mortal world. Therefore, they can be classified and defined by worldly standards.

This is a bit of a double standard, a bit arrogant, but Black Robb seems to enjoy it. After all, from a certain perspective, he can do this precisely because he has succeeded in his struggles.

Although his story of struggle didn't go from a hook thief to a country thief, it had that feel to it.

After all, his origin (his true self) and his origin (Robo's true form) were both ordinary people who grew up in the city and only rose to prominence after encountering great fortune, gaining the capital to laugh at the wickedness of the rich. And my own whitewashing has become an instinct of his lineage.

For example, the claim that the Black Robb faction is inhuman is actually a form of whitewashing. Since they are not human, they shouldn't be defined by human standards, whether moral or otherwise.

In short, the struggle between being human and non-human is either a romantic or awkward aspect of Black Robo's character.

As such a person, he naturally had his own prejudices, and unfortunately, the Golden Oak royal family was influenced by his prejudices against the powerful and wealthy.

The Golden Oak was not a nation, but rather a dynasty. The founder of the dynasty loved the oak tree and named it after it; this was King Oak I.

His descendants, it is said, specially composed a story to praise the miraculous nature of the oak tree that Ork I loved, thereby highlighting the legendary and sacred nature of Ork I's founding of the dynasty.

So what is the truth?
This is not just idle gossip about the king's eccentricities. At least Black Robb rescued the royal heir because of the legend of the Golden Oak. There is another version, and this version is basically confirmed: it is a sacred artifact for growing crops.

Black Robb is not surprising at all; how did another holy artifact suddenly appear?

The logic is simple: in a world with supernatural abilities, to become a ruler, one must either have an extraordinary backer, possess special advantages, or have both.

Although the Ork dynasty was only a dynasty with a history of less than two hundred years, its rise and its peak occurred in the period after the collapse of the Dark Hell, so there was almost no intelligence gathering from this perspective.

However, with Black Rob's knowledge, he could spot some suspicious points simply by reviewing the semi-public information. Then, by combining this with the current situation and through a combination of guessing and analysis, he could understand what extraordinary resources the royal family possessed.

It must be said that enemies can sometimes be guiding lights. The Chaotic Staircase is adept at picking important targets, and its actions of seizing them serve as both proof and a reminder.

On the other hand, Black Rob is so self-righteous that he often doesn't need the truth, as long as there is doubt, that's enough. Therefore, whether making decisions or taking action, he is efficient and quick.

Actually, Black Robo doesn't lack food.

Or rather, he has no shortage of means to systematically produce food using his supernatural powers.

After all, he has always valued energy.

The efficient use of energy is a direct reflection of advanced technology and even advanced civilization.

He already possessed excellent hydroponic planting techniques, and with the Scepter of Nature and the Source Dome, he was even more powerful in this regard.

His planting techniques even allow for production cycles of 'weeks', which is large-scale cultivation, not just a fancy performance in a laboratory.

Furthermore, they are skilled not only in planting but also in animal husbandry. They just raise a type of large snail.

Using these as raw materials, and through assembly line processing, synthetic meat is produced that is no worse than the meat of the livestock most commonly consumed by humans. Both its taste and nutrition are excellent.

Therefore, Black Rob isn't worried about not being able to support the million human survivors he plans to guarantee. Even if it's ten times more, it's just a matter of opening a few more vertical farming and breeding farms, as well as food processing production lines.

The reason why we still want to compete for the sacred tool for growing grain under such circumstances is mainly due to two considerations.

On the one hand, civilization does not need a super crutch, but should rely on itself.

This is similar to the folk proverb, "Give a man a hand in an emergency, but don't give him a hand in a long-term poverty."

Moreover, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Aren't the disastrous consequences of the unconventional "loan agreement" between humanity and the gods still unfolding today?

On the other hand, he hoped that the Chaotic Staircase would think that he was bewildered by the sudden plague, passive in every way, and could only follow the car in front of him like a driver, eating the dust in the process.

Conversely, he did not want the chaotic staircase to know his true situation. Although the scale of the disaster relief was large, it was still far from being his full effort.

On the surface, it seems that he is being led by the nose by the chaotic staircase, and the massive number of simulated soul puppets has been exposed before they have even been truly formed into an army.

In fact, one of his main plans, the Elemental Throne Project, has been progressing steadily.

Didn't you prevent me from improving this extraordinary environment of spacetime and stop me from collecting the easiest negative extraordinary power?

Okay, then I'll turn my attention to the four elements: earth, fire, water, and wind.

Through the Scepter of Nature, through the authority of the World Guardian, through the primordial information of the world bestowed by the Primal Vault, and through the technology of the Great Old Ones, Black Robb was confident in condensing the Heart of the Elements.

The reason it is called the 'throne' is not only because it represents its high status, but also because it represents control.

According to Black Robb's line of thought, the four elements are also a necessary link in the cycle of supernatural power in this world, and due to the general trend of low magic penetration, they are becoming increasingly prominent.

As we all know, when any industry exhibits a flourishing of diverse characteristics, it indicates that it has reached a certain level of prosperity.

The same applies to extraordinary power; the more finely the power of laws is divided, the more prosperous that field is.

Conversely, those unorthodox laws of power are becoming increasingly difficult to grasp, to the point that only the main branches remain, manifesting only occasionally.

This is why alchemy was so prevalent in this era.

After all, from an industry perspective, even extraordinary companies emphasize the balance between investment and return.

Since the basic application of alchemy is earth, fire, water, and wind (whether it is technology or tools, the four elements are the main operating elements) + mystery (attributing all incomprehensible things, such as chemical-like reactions in the supernatural realm, to the mysterious).

In Black Rob's view, this is simply a lack of thorough understanding.

It's not that we don't want to, but the costs are getting higher and higher.

The low level of demonic influence makes it difficult for the power of the laws of the branch classes to manifest, and only the power of the main class can be sensed.

Ultimately, the extraordinary individuals of this era found their own balance between extraordinary effort and reward: alchemy, and the pursuit of superficial understanding. After deconstructing the essence of alchemy and its relationship to the times, Black Robb began preparing for the 'Four Elements Throne' project.

The awakening of the Elemental Master and the acquisition of the Source Dome in the Deep Earth Cavity both contributed to the success of this project.

Therefore, Black Robb is not simply someone who "cleans up others' messes and turns the tides by taking action"; he also has his own proactive side.

Just like five thousand years ago, he jumped out of the major events of that time, ambitiously plotted, and ultimately succeeded in assassinating four gods, and even seized the opportunity to open a back door in the Pantheon.

However, the Throne of Elements is different from assassination. Some steps in the process are easily discovered by certain people, and may even cause quite a stir.

Black Rob was a little worried about this. How could he advance the plan to the point where he was no longer afraid of being discovered or even interfered with?

Originally, his plan was to use the eye-catching spectacle of his puppet army sweeping through supernatural forces to divert the attention of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The first thing we received was good news: the Elf King packed up his belongings, started anew, and focused his main efforts on the new timeline.

The second piece of good news is about this plague.

Even with the prestige and credibility of the Ghost Emperor, it would still be incredibly costly to bring together the Elf King's lineage, the gods, and the fallen gods to make such a big move.

Even from his most familiar perspective of self-interest, such a huge investment could not be insignificant if the return was small.

If the evil and wickedness caused by the plague is the source of profit, then the gains are indeed enormous.

But the project can only be considered truly completed after going through the entire process of harvesting, threshing, drying, grinding, and finally storing the wheat in bags.

Clearly, there are many things to consider, both regarding the ripening of wheat and how it is harvested.

The plague is an enemy of all people, and there are many, both mortals and extraordinary beings, who fight against it.

This very point alone is fraught with uncertainty and numerous obstacles.

This requires Chaotic Stairs to invest more effort in this project.

In this way, his 'Elemental Throne Project' would advance covertly to the point where it would not be discovered or even blocked, thus increasing its success rate.

In order to increase the success rate, he naturally did not mind appearing to be 'led by the nose by the enemy, rushing around to provide disaster relief, and running around tirelessly'.

Not only do you have to show this state, but you have to do it well enough, with results and a counterattack.

Examples of this type of event include the 'Shehir Mine' and the 'Cup of Life Incident'.

The more small successes like these there are, the more overwhelmed and frustrated the Chaotic Ladder becomes, the more it proves that he did the right thing and did it well, and the more firmly his attention is drawn to these petty, money-grabbing schemes.

Moreover, powerful figures like the Golden Oak royal family, who wield significant influence over the people's livelihood, are naturally his primary targets. While he may not be able to anticipate their moves, he is quite confident in taking remedial action.

Upon realizing the critical situation, or rather, upon confirming that the Chaotic Staircase was exerting significant pressure on the Golden Oak royal family, Black Robb dispatched Victor there...

The Oak VI family, being a top-tier family with deep roots, was not easily driven out of their stronghold like the Heavenly Grace Mutual Aid Society, and was forced to flee in misery.

The Oak VI family lived in their ancestral castle villa on the outskirts of the capital, which also encompassed several thousand hectares of land and a small but interesting rocky mountain.

This land, spanning several thousand hectares, was formerly known as the Royal Hunting Grounds.

Later, the Pan-Northern Federation was established. Under the general trend, the former kingdoms also had to keep up with the times and show an enlightened appearance. They could no longer play the corrupt feudal autocracy of the past!

In fact, there are many twists and turns involved. Not to mention the possibility of dynastic restoration, even the original beneficiaries of the peaceful evolution are unwilling to obediently submit and give up their interests. They have many ways of exploiting loopholes and using deceptive tactics.

However, the Royal Hunting Grounds were no longer officially the exclusive property of the royal family, but were renamed the Royal Nature Park.

It means that it was donated by the former royal family and turned into a park, and it is a first-class scenic spot in the capital.

But in reality, this area full of oak trees was still the royal hunting ground.

The Golden Oak Guards, who were originally responsible for security, are now known to the public as the Parks Administration and gardeners/forest rangers.

It was precisely because of this kind of place, this kind of loose exterior but tight interior, and the operating mechanism that prohibited all unauthorized personnel from entering, that the plague was unable to reach this place for a long time.

Of course, since the Chaotic Ladder has made it its target, it will not just passively wait for the plague to spread, but will take the initiative to strike when the time is right.

However, the Chaos Staircase was, after all, a massive, global project. Although its planners were the gods themselves, the fact that it was only underway for a little over six months placed an immense strain on their overall capabilities. Coupled with the inherent flaws of the Chaos faction, a certain degree of error in the rush was to be expected.

One mistake in the plans for the Golden Oak dynasty was measuring the crown prince's value and influence from a conventional perspective.

King Oak VI had four sons and three daughters. His eldest son died before reaching adulthood, so the crown prince was actually the second prince. However, the one King Oak VI liked the most and who was also the most capable was his youngest daughter.

The chaotic staircase created an opportunity to kidnap the crown prince and use him to blackmail him for the sacred artifacts.

Without even a second's hesitation, King Oak VI replied, "Go ahead and kill him!?"

Morton, the operation leader of the chaotic staircase, was initially bewildered, then enraged. He felt that King Oak VI had underestimated him and thought he wouldn't dare to kill the hostage.

Later, it was the crown prince's personal attendant who risked his life to advise him, and after a long explanation, Morton finally understood that the crown prince was just a figurehead, and even if he were to inherit the throne in the future, he would only be a mascot.

Under King Eugene VI's leadership and with his youngest daughter's behind-the-scenes manipulation, the royal family's businesses have been corporatized and placed under trusts. The Crown Prince does not hold any real power in this regard; he is merely someone who receives an annual allowance.

Embarrassed, Morton simply stopped beating around the bush and resorted to violence, organizing a force to attack the nature park, but the result was equally unsuccessful.

To misjudge the Crown Prince's actual value and influence shows a significant oversight in intelligence. It's only natural that they would be badly beaten by the defense system that the royal family has painstakingly built up over generations.

Do they really think the royal families of various countries are innocent little rabbits?
In this world, without some kind of signature violent methods, you'd be slaughtered like a fat pig long ago.

If you can't defeat them, then call in reinforcements!

Thus, the siege-grade powder produced by the alchemy forces made its debut.

That's really powerful!
When Black Robb arrived, Victor was just as siege weapons were trampling and burning the oak forest, attempting to breach the last line of defense of the castle villa...
