Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 421: Orsted's Interview
Click – 6:17
This time, it was different from the deserted village in the Land of Strife where Aisha was located.

It is also different from the Holy Land of Swords, which has more than a few diligent illiterates and relies on a stable biological clock and the position of the sun to judge time.

The capital of Asura, the Earl of Lilson's Palace.

The pendulum's weight is swinging.

Youdao stared at the hands on the clock.

Early bird gets the worm.

Rudy had been awake for more than ten minutes, but he was not an early bird.

He is the worm.

A year later, the older Neetson, who looked slightly more mature, turned his eyes away from the clock with resignation.

What caught my eye was the messy hair and the elegant neck.

Rudy finally couldn't help it and said weakly, "Mrs. Lillierson, you see, I'm exhausted today. How about we just leave it at that for today? What do you think?"

The Countess paused.

He looked up at Rudy.

"I think? I think our little Duke of Notos hasn't been paying enough attention lately. What's going on?"

She let Rudy go for the moment, holding her chin, looking up at him, her voice extremely soft.

"Could it be that the young Duke of the Notos family has despised my family for being old and ugly?"

He looked like he was about to cry.

Rudy's scalp was tingling after watching this.

Hey! Your acting is too obvious!
And is this the problem? It's obvious that I was too tired after three times last night!!
What? You mean aphrodisiac?

Luoya is gone, and all the aphrodisiacs on the market have been bought up!

I don’t want to drink anymore! I really don’t want to drink anymore!

Ah!! I'm not ED!! I'm not!! I'm just too tired! Too tired!!

But it's not obvious on the face.

After all, we are now the vice president of the Sevenstar Chamber of Commerce and the vice president of the Sevenstar Research Institute of the Magic Academy, and we are already well-known.

Today, the identities of the two are no longer the same as a year ago when Rudy used the identity of the direct heir of the Notos family to seduce each other in order to ease the awkward relationship between his financial sponsor and her precious pony.

They are now 'serious' partners.

——Countess Lilson injected capital into the newly established Chamber of Commerce half a year ago.

Even after several rounds of "financing", because she entered the market very early, she still holds 8% of the shares of Sevenstar Chamber of Commerce.

You have to know that Rudy only owns 15% of the shares.

In other words, the reason why the two maintain their current relationship has shifted from a funding venture that is a bet on future success to a business that is already generating astonishing profits today.

There is no more reliable "alliance" than interests.

It’s really not because Countess Lilson has good skills!
Rudy swallowed hard and coughed lightly. When he was sure that there was no aphrodisiac, he wanted to find some reason to escape, such as today's improved experiment on the magic chariot, or the reason why he was summoned by President Serent Sevenstar, a business genius who had become famous in the capital in the past year.

But before he could open his mouth, he saw the widow looking at him with tears in her eyes and a soft voice.

"Sure enough, you are tired of me, what should I do?" She sniffed, seemed to hesitate, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Since Prince Notos is tired of me, I won't keep you, but I am too lonely."

Rudy cheered in his heart when he heard this! Yes! I have finally waited for this day.

The pony is about to be freed.

The next sentence the other party said made him confused.

"So, you want to introduce me to someone as a replacement, right?"

Wait, that’s not quite right?
Rudy suddenly felt a little green on his head.

But I really don’t know how to refute the other party.

As he has penetrated deeply into the power circle of Asura, he now understands very well what kind of dealings are going on between these nobles. It is impossible for a widow like Countess Lilson to have no abnormal relationship based on body and political interests.

I am not the first, nor will I be the last.

Likewise, I have never considered her as a normal marriage partner.

But a very big big sister.

"What? Introduce someone?"

Countess Lilson nodded weakly.
Rudy was silent for a moment, then spoke with difficulty, "Um, I don't know him either. You know my father is not in the capital at all, and the Notos family is even more corrupt. They don't treat me well, so how could I know him? That is, the Chamber of Commerce."

The widow interrupted him.

"Don't you know the guy from the Boreas family? I think he's the right age. Why don't you introduce him to me?"

Rudy's expression froze, and he immediately realized who the other person was talking about. He widened his eyes and looked at Countess Lilson in disbelief.

No, Toad? When did you come?
Hey, old woman, who is Alan? Who are you? Do you want to eat swan meat at such an old age?
Aren’t you afraid that Izuruti will chop you with a knife?
Just now he was admiring the other person's good skills, but now when Allen was mentioned, he instantly developed an insatiable toad-like perception of loyalty towards Countess Lilson. Nit straightened up his body and said to Countess Lilson with a frown.

"I have a very good relationship with Alan, but Alan is missing."

Mrs. Leerson blinked.

"Who is behind the Sevenstar Chamber of Commerce? Who has the ability to support your research?"

She stood up from the bed, walked barefoot on the wooden floor, went to the window, reached out, and opened the curtains a little.

In the huge mansion, on the white stone bricks in the front courtyard, there was a strange-shaped square "carriage" parked.

Of course, there were no horses.

It's a magic car.

It was completely different from the one Alice was riding in. First of all, it was two times larger, and the carriage was made entirely according to the specifications of a horse-drawn carriage, with a crystal roof, an expensive wooden carriage, and a large, soft sofa inside.

The texture of the Warcraft leather on the base is very regular, and it is obvious that it has been specially selected.

——Asura Magic Car Type 2, exclusively for the nobility.

A means of transportation that is sold exclusively to Asura nobles has created a huge sensation in the capital over the past year, with the price of just one vehicle reaching 100,000 gold coins.

how?

For the top nobles of Asura, it’s really not much.

Just over a thousand bottles of aphrodisiac.

In just this past year, Rudy drank more than 20,000 gold coins.

However, this was only the initial price. After the nobles got their hands on it, they speculated on it several times until the price could not be priced in gold coins. They even exchanged it for the fields or industries under their properties.

Cost?

The most expensive magic stone is used in very small quantities, and the factory price is only 800 gold coins.

It's simply huge profits.

Why is it so expensive?

——Scarcity makes things valuable. There are only twenty-two of these cars circulating in the market.

Now it is a serious status symbol.

However, it also has a lot to do with the sales methods of Qixing and Rudy.

After they developed the second model, they defined it as a luxury item only available in the royal aristocratic circles, and presented one directly to the king, the second princess, and the first prince respectively.

After these royals who stood at the top of Asura's power field had used it several times in the aristocratic area, they sold the subsequent products one by one.

If you want to buy, you also need a guarantor.

It's a kind of hunger marketing from another world.

In order to increase its value, they made the magic chariots that Paul and his team used, which had better performance, look particularly ugly, and distinguished between type one and type two. From the outside, they were two different products. Mrs. Lilson narrowed her eyes, lowered the curtains, and tilted her head to look at Rudy, who had an unnatural expression behind her.

“The success of the magic car is not accidental, it is amazing.

But the "technology" of the magic car itself is not the key to its success in the royal capital. This kind of crazy idea is the cheapest in Asura. If having a crazy idea but no power can make things happen, those rebellious magicians in the magic university would have achieved success long ago, right?
But whether it is Miss Serent Sevenstar who looks too young, or you who are not fully recognized by the Notos family, have always refused to return to the territory, and ignored the family head's call, you lack the prerequisite for becoming a "power".

If the magic car can still provide some insignificant conveniences for the nobles in the capital, then the other things of the Chamber of Commerce will not only not provide them with conveniences, but will also harm their interests.

Those bold-looking clothes undoubtedly undermine the interests of Earl Ellis's uniform workshop industry. Even if you pass on those technologies in the form of collecting knowledge, this behavior is more of a threat than a favor in Earl Ellis's eyes. "

The MILF smiled.

"But Earl Iris didn't react at all. So, who is behind all this? How could the First Prince, these nobles, and even His Majesty the King cooperate so well?"

Rudy opened his mouth and his eyes twitched when he heard this, but after being stunned for a moment, he grabbed the clothes beside him, put them on and was about to go out.

"I should go now. Anyway, if it's not what you want to know, Alan, I will ask for his opinion. If he is willing to tell the world, Madam, as one of the early sponsors of the Chamber of Commerce, I will not hide it and can tell you if necessary."

After hearing this, the smile on Mrs. Learson's face slowly disappeared. She frowned and watched Rudy leave the room.

like a statue.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong dong.

The widow had no intention of putting on her clothes. She just turned around and watched Rudy jump into the car and rush out of the mansion gate, and then spoke.

"Come in."

The butler bowed as he entered, without raising his head or doing anything inappropriate.

"lady."

"explain."

"You asked me to visit Earl Iris to investigate a month ago. Yesterday, we finally got some clues. He gave us a hint about the name of the person behind the Sevenstar Chamber of Commerce, but it seems that it is not Alan Boreas Greylat as we expected."

He spoke after biting off his words, as if he was confused about the name of the person he was going to speak next.

"Lord Ellis said yes."

The Widow interrupted him, "One of the seven great powers, the Dragon God."

The housekeeper was stunned. "How do you know?"

The widow did not answer him, but waved her hand.

The butler withdrew.

Mrs. Lilson frowned, looking puzzled.

Recently, a god who made her feel trustworthy appeared in her dream. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, there was no doubt that he was a god.

His words were so convincing that there was no room for doubt.

Then, He asked himself in his dream if he had any troubles recently.
Of course, Mrs. Lilson told the truth: she wanted to use Rudius Notos Greyrat to consolidate her power in the capital.

but
Why do I have to keep mentioning Alan Boreas Greyrat in front of this little prince of the Notos family who has no real power and is not very capable?
Can you achieve your goal in this way?

But whenever this doubt arises in reality, I wait until I enter a dream to ask the other person.

But I only got a very vague answer.

Say yes, that's fine.)
Such illogical words, yet I actually believed them in my dream.

What is going on?
While I was thinking like this, I heard footsteps again behind me.

Mrs. Learson frowned and spoke in dissatisfaction.

"Why are you back again?"

There was no answer and the footsteps stopped.

She paused for a moment, and when she heard no response behind her, she turned her head back and was about to scold her housekeeper.

——Can't you see I'm thinking about something? I don't have time to play the master and dog game with you today.
But before she could open her mouth, she showed a look of surprise, then screamed and ran to the side, stumbling. In the short distance of five meters, she fell twice. Then after getting her clothes by the bed, she turned around and grabbed the clothes and was about to jump out of the window.

It was as if she had seen some monster that frightened her so much that she had no idea where to go.

The next moment, just as her hand climbed onto the windowsill, she heard a voice coming from behind her ear, so rough and cold that she felt as if her eardrum had been pierced.

Very close
The man said:
“I ask you
Have you ever heard of a man-god?"

-

"Where did these people hear this news?"

Rudy had finally escaped from the forced grain payment from his partners, but he did not show the slightest joy on his face.

He was seen driving with a heavy heart all the way to the edge of the free zone under the gaze of nobles and pedestrians on the road, to be checked, and then under the envious eyes of the soldiers, he drove all the way to the Magic University facing more gazes.

Brake and jump out of the car.

After entering the gate, he walked along the spacious boulevard and arrived at the research institute that he and Qixing had established earlier.

Just as he was about to push the door open, it was banged open from the inside.

Rudy did not look surprised. In this research institute, besides himself, there was
Nanaho, with black hair, stuck her head out, and when she saw that the person coming was Rudy and not Dilic, her big round Sakura girl eyes sparkled.

——After traveling to another world and discovering Rudy, a traveler, she felt much better.

That feeling of loneliness faded a lot before it even started as I got familiar with the new world.

There is absolutely no feeling of being an outsider like in the original series, where one is clearly in the crowd but always feels "alone".

Even though Rudy has always been reluctant to reveal his name.

Qixing smiled, raised his eyebrows, and looked very energetic.

"おはよう!"

When Rudy heard this very familiar accent, his face twitched slightly.

To be honest, even though he had been with Nanahoshi for over a year, he still didn't really communicate with her in Japanese.

Because he always felt that if he continued to chat in Japanese, his identity would be exposed sooner or later.

Subconsciously, he still didn't want Rudy to equate him with the NEET in his previous life.

The six-sided world is good, the direct heir of the Notos family is also good, Eren is also good, and Sylphy, the friend who grew up with me, is also good.

Alice. Uh. Alice is not a normal human.

In short, he liked his current life very much and didn't want to have too much communication about his past life with this fellow villager who was only interested in answering questions about his hometown.

Because, although he had realized it in his heart, he was not yet ready to apologize to his brothers and sisters in that world.
Later, when he has made up his mind, he may want to return to Japan with Nanahoshi and apologize to his parents.

then
Come back here again.

".おはよう, um, I think we should just speak Asura. Nanahoshi has learned Asura very quickly in the past year. She has a talent for languages."

Qixing showed a hint of dissatisfaction, frowned, and then waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Okay, I get it. I don't know why you resist communicating with me in Japanese? Don't you find it familiar?"

Rudy: Not at all. It would just be scary.
“No, I’m just not used to it.”

"Every time she says she's not used to it." Qixing snorted, revealing the unique cuteness of a high school student. Then she saw Rudy trying to push the door open from her side, but she stopped him.

"? What's wrong? Didn't the magic circle reach a critical juncture yesterday? I also need to study how to make the magic car break through the peak speed. There is still no good news."

"Ah~ Let's put today's research aside for now."

"what?"

"Well 'that person' wants to see you."
