Don't call me evil god

Chapter 708 Brother Long’s Compensation
A noble dragon suddenly visited the palace. When King Kenreddin heard the news, he immediately felt like he was facing a powerful enemy.

Because in the historical records of the Kingdom of Reyak.

The appearance of a dragon is usually... not a good thing!
They are like messengers of disaster.

Every time it is born, it is basically to convey some kind of warning.

For example, a new extremely dangerous monster is born, which requires special countermeasures;

Or the severity of the monster red tide will increase, and more defense forces will need to be allocated in the next few years;

Every piece of information like this could cause great trouble to the kingdom.

but.

Things are different this time.

When Kenreddin and Bahamut met alone, he was confused at first when he learned the series of events that took place in the Stone Castle.

The evil cultists caused trouble and awakened the dangerous monsters that had been suppressed, and the stone fortress was almost destroyed.

The news became even worse when the evil monsters and deformed forms of gods appeared later.

According to Bahamut.

The monster red tide will probably become more dangerous in the next period of time, because the evil power of the void dimension is surging, and the ultimate evil is briefly touched once again.

Kenreddin confirmed it very carefully at the time:
"How long is a period of time?"

"One or two years? Three or five years? Or ten years or a hundred years?"

no way.

These are the experiences that former kings gained from being "tricked".

Dragons are immortal species.

Their long lifespan leads to a very different concept of time between them and short-lived species like humans.

Some dragons may take a nap for several months!
Bahamut did not give a clear answer, but only provided his guess:
"If nothing else happens."

"For at least the next three years, you all need to be vigilant."

"There are clear signs of an increase in the activity level of the void dimension. This world seems to be becoming more and more vulnerable to evil."

bad news.

Without a doubt, completely bad news.

King Kenreddin felt his scalp tingling and became extremely annoyed after hearing this.

Because he himself had a lot of messes waiting to be dealt with:

The western aristocracy was gradually becoming a burden rather than a help, but he could not find a suitable opportunity to deal with or reform it.

Any move that may touch this emerging interest group will cause them to sensitively unite and resist.

As the monster red tide approaches, troops stationed in various places are ready to march to the border.

In order to ensure logistical supply, a large amount of gold coins was spent, which made the already scarce treasury even worse.
Every year, they finally get some money from taxes collected from all over the country, but once the red tide comes, they have to spend most of it immediately. They have to tighten their belts to make ends meet next year. Many things that Kenredin wants to do are difficult to implement due to insufficient budget:
For example, training guilds to train warrior professionals were established throughout the kingdom to increase the number of warrior professionals;

Or, set up a downgraded version of the Palace Magic Academy, lower the entry threshold, win by numbers, and find ways to tap more talents with the potential to become professional mages from the kingdom.

These ideas can only remain in Kenreddin's mind or on paper, and there is no money to implement them.

And there is an even bigger trouble right now.

About Rune Monger and his Gilded Club.

King Kenreddin was not completely unaware of what Munger was doing.

in contrast.

MI6 agents are everywhere.

When Monger began to secretly transfer his various businesses to the Greenport goblin tycoon Carron Lagan in exchange for cash, Kenreddin sensitively sensed that something was wrong. It was true that Rune Monger had a talent for business and making money that was far beyond ordinary people.

Most of the industries he set his eyes on later became "hens that lay golden eggs". Even if Mung did nothing and just lay on the bed in the manor waiting, the dividends from his investment alone could bring in a steady stream of gold coins into the treasury.

But now he has taken the abnormal step of "killing the chicken to get the eggs".

It was obvious - Rune Monger was short of money.

The richest man in the kingdom is short of money.

Moreover, the club was short of money when it was making huge profits continuously.

Naturally, Kenreddin launched an investigation and sent MI6 spies to infiltrate.

If you don’t check it, you don’t know.
The Gilded Club turned out to be a fucking huge bomb!
Although he knew the truth, Kenredin was still faced with the dilemma of not knowing where to start at that time.

If it is not resolved, this bomb will explode sooner or later;
If it is solved hastily, too many people will be implicated and it will definitely cause huge unrest in the order.

Stuck in the middle, caught in a dilemma.

Now Bahamut has brought a series of warnings about cultists, deformed wetlands, divine aberrations, and monster red tides.

There are serious internal problems.

Foreign invasion came again.

The red tide of monsters that never stops year after year is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Kingdom of Reyak.

Every year, a large amount of resources are "wasted" in fighting monsters. In a bad year, the final statistics show that the entire year's development may be wasted, and some of the national treasury reserves may have to be lost!

King Kenreddin was so eager to quit his job at that time!
……

miracly.

Bahamut seemed equally aware of the predicament Kenreddin was facing.

After delivering the warning.

He solemnly handed a square "Ether Cube" to King Kenreddin, and specifically instructed:
"Find the person with the best magic attainment in the kingdom to open it. He needs to be able to use the magic of [Super Secret Pocket] properly. Otherwise, if you are not careful, the gold worth a million gold coins stored inside will fall completely into the etheric space."

"Take... take the young master?!"

King Kenredin's hands shook uncontrollably at that moment, and he almost lost his grip on the Ether Cube.

Bahamut smiled and said, "I didn't count the exact amount, but it's worth about a million gold coins that are currently in circulation in your kingdom, right?"

Then he quickly added:

"Use it properly and you should be able to solve the trouble you are facing."

Kenredin was so excited that he wanted to become brothers with Bahamut on the spot!

If anyone dares to say that the dragon is the messenger of disaster, he will be the first to disagree.

This is clearly the God of Wealth who comes to his rescue in times of need, walking in the mortal world and bringing him tremendous help!
In fact, he thought of several ways to deal with Rune Monge, and he could even take the opportunity to eliminate the stubborn diseases that the western nobles had developed over the years.

It’s just that we couldn’t do it before because we had no money!
Now—he finally has money!
Still a lot of money!
Gold worth millions of gold coins!

I’m afraid Bahamut has moved all the gold coins in the dragon’s treasury to him!
After giving Kenreddin some time to calm down, Bahamut continued:
"Don't worry, I'm not finished yet."

“This gold needs to be returned.”

Kenreddin was stunned again.

"what?!"
