Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 200 Gamma
Hewitt, the surname of the royal family of the dwarven kingdom of Riverst, the first war of the gods.

They were skilled at crafting weapons but not at fighting, and were the kingdoms that fell fastest in the war of the gods.

The former Star Kingdom, as the victorious nation of the Kingdom of Rivist, saw its strength greatly increased with the forging enhancement provided by the Kingdom of Rivist.

Facing a combined attack from the other three kingdoms that lasted for more than three years, they persevered to the very end, thus establishing the Star Empire as it is today.

After the first war between the divine kingdoms ended, when the King of the Star Empire was rewarding those who had contributed, he did not overlook the merits of the Hewitt clan because they were bound by enslavement.

The king generously granted the Hewitt family freedom and human rights, and also bestowed upon them the title of marquis.

They are not required to obey the orders of any member of the royal family except the king.

This is an unprecedented level of treatment that few enslaved royalty have ever enjoyed.

Normally, enslaved members of the royal family, who were treated as spoils of war, had no human rights, let alone the privileges afforded to nobles.

In short, the Hewitt family is very famous.

Hewitt is so famous that the mention of forging immediately brings Hewitt to mind.

Just like when you mention basketball, you think of Jordan, and when you mention two and a half years, you think of Chicken Too Beautiful.

It's not surprising that the Bruwerman Empire would take such a huge risk to capture Hewitt's bloodline.

only……

Hewitt was a defeated royal family, and his direct descendants all wore shackles of enslavement around their necks.

Although once shackled by slavery, the bloodline is no longer protected by the gods, and the bloodline will be rapidly diluted and lost in the process of procreation.

However, within three generations, there is a 100% chance of inheriting the shackles of enslavement.

At the same time, those who have relations with people who are bound by enslavement will also be implicated by those enslavement.

This is the price of the proliferation of losers.

The girl in front of him had no enslavement shackles around her neck, so she was clearly not a direct descendant of the Hewitt clan.

What is your relationship with Whitebeard Hewitt?

Ron asked.

“I am the adopted daughter of the Hewitt family, and Bai Dou is my brother.”

She answered in an instant.

Unsurprisingly.

The girl in front of them was just an adopted daughter of the Hewitt family.

Those people in the slave laboratories don't care about anything when they arrest people.

Well, although we didn't capture a direct descendant of the Hewitt family, we did successfully capture an experimental subject with royal blood flowing through his veins.

This isn't like opening a blind box. After all, someone who was adopted by the Hewitt family and became the disciple of the Empire's chief blacksmith, how bad could their talent be?
Perhaps the Bruwerman Empire came for her.

In any case, there is no character named Setsuna Hewitt in the Star Empire storyline of the game.

They probably died long ago in the slave experiments.

"Do you want to go back?"

Ron asked.

"I think."

The girl said timidly.

It sounds like the Hewitt family treats her well.

Otherwise, she wouldn't want to go home.

Ron looked at the girl in front of him thoughtfully.

After being developed by the Star Empire, the Hewitt clan produced many formidable individuals.

He wasn't worried that the Hewitt family would cause trouble for the Uncrowned.

Because it won't be long before the Hewitt family, having chosen the wrong side in the struggle for the throne, will be slaughtered by the new king.

What he was pondering was whether it was worth nurturing someone who still had feelings for him.

Don't spend all your hard work nurturing them only to have them called back with a single sentence.

"Have you ever had a magical dream in which someone taught you a new forging method?"

Ron pondered for a moment and asked.

He shook his head, a look of confusion on his face.

"Since you want to go back, then go back."

Ron turned around, his back to the girl, and waved.

Upon hearing this, he immediately realized he was in trouble and had left a bad impression on his superior.

"I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace. I am willing to follow you and serve you with utmost loyalty."

She quickly expressed her submission.

This statement was somewhat forced by circumstances, but it also reflected her true intentions.

First of all, she strongly agreed with the mission of the Uncrowned King: the war between the divine kingdoms should not exist.

If it weren't for the war for the kingdom of God, my father and brothers wouldn't have been bound by the chains of slavery.

Secondly, she was ashamed to go back and face her father and brother.

The fact that the Hewitt family enjoyed the treatment of nobility did not mean that they could enjoy such treatment for their entire lives.

The previous king who granted Hewitt noble status is dead, and no one can guarantee that the next king will continue to grant Hewitt such treatment.

A single thought from the next king could wipe out the Hewitt family's glory.

Why did the Hewitt family adopt her? It was so that Hewitt's future would no longer be controlled by the shackles of slavery.

She returned wearing the shackles of slavery; her father and brother must have been incredibly disappointed.

Rather than that, it would be better to let them think they are dead.

Finally, and most importantly, she wanted to follow Ron to find a way to break free from the shackles of slavery.

Everyone in this world knows that the shackles of enslavement are divine punishment, and no one but the gods can break them.

Therefore, royal families who were defeated in the war of the gods would choose to commit suicide.

When she discovered the shackles of enslavement around her neck, all she felt was despair.

She didn't have much hope that the future Feng mentioned would break the shackles of enslavement.

Before meeting Ron, her only thought was to make a good impression on her superiors and survive.

But it's different now.

Who is the man standing in front of me?
He is a hero!
He is the king of the Kingdom of Lah!
He is the uncrowned king!
He is the only person so far who has not been punished by God after being defeated in the war for the Kingdom of God!

His life is full of miracles.

His deeds are destined to be recorded in history.

She immediately believed that as long as she followed this person, she would surely find a way to break free from the shackles of slavery.

"Please allow me to stay."

She pleaded earnestly.

"Have you thought it through?"

Ron had his back to the girl, a smile playing on his lips.

Letting them go is impossible; his words just now were merely a test, a feint to advance.

"You must stay. Everything must be done in the interest of the organization, and you must not let personal feelings interfere."

He said.

"I realized in an instant that all actions should be based on the interests of the uncrowned king."

She answered earnestly in a split second, and the timidity in her eyes caused by her emotions lessened.

Ron was very satisfied with the girl's answer.

He suppressed his smile and slowly turned around.

At this moment, the girl's allegiance had changed from the Uncrowned Kingdom to the Kingdom of Lah.

This is tantamount to entrusting one's life and death entirely to him.

The loyalty training went quite smoothly.

This is mainly due to the personal charm he has cultivated over the past few months.

Unless someone is inherently evil, eight out of ten people in this position would choose to offer their loyalty.

"The Uncrowned King has zero tolerance for traitors."

Ron looked into the girl's eyes and said.

"I will never betray you, not even for a moment."

"It was a moment," he said earnestly.

Ron nodded in satisfaction.

"Stand there."

"Yes."

He stood up instantly and walked into the array eye designated by Ron.

The next step was the same process as the previous few people.

"What is the purity of the bloodline?"

"85."

"You joined late, so we don't know much about you. You can use this seventh-tier magic for now."

"Thank you for your gift."

Setsuna didn't have much desire for seventh-tier magic, after all, she was a blacksmith, and blacksmithing was where she could exert her greatest influence.

However, she was still incredibly shocked by Ron's amazing method of teaching magic.

Ron then explained the purpose of implanting the magic into the origin of the city.

She didn't react negatively at first; on the contrary, she was happy that she could be put to use so quickly.

"What wishes do you want to fulfill?"

"I hope to be freed from the shackles of slavery."

She said in an instant. After saying that, fearing that Ron would misunderstand, she quickly added, "I want to get rid of divine punishment, not to escape your control."

"Oh no, I didn't mean you control us, I just..."

In an instant, he became increasingly incoherent, gesturing wildly in a panic.

“I will do this even without you telling me. Everything that the gods have taken from you, I will take back.”

Ron calmly made the promise.

He loves to exaggerate.

How to break free from the shackles of enslavement remains a mystery.

If I become a god, will I be able to unlock the secret?
This claim is merely speculation without any actual evidence.

Of course, if he could do it, he definitely would.

Soon, the magic fusion was complete.

"What quality of weapons can you forge right now?"

Ron withdrew the power of [Evolution] and asked.

"High-level".

She answered in an instant.

Weapon quality is divided into common, low-tier, high-tier, and sacred artifact.

This is the quality of a weapon that can be forged using the current forging techniques in this world.

Above the sacred artifacts, there are divine artifacts.

Divine artifacts possess divinity, transcending all rules and even surpassing some powers.

The Sword of the Warrior, the Return of Destiny... these are all divine artifacts.

High-level...

At her age, it's already quite impressive that she can forge a high-level item.

High-level weapons can withstand magical damage, and amplifying attack power is fundamental. Through weapon runes, they can even have effects such as damage reflection and paralysis.

However, high-level weapons can only be effective in battles at level seven and below.

Ron, who had already begun to contend with powerful eighth-tier enemies, was not entirely satisfied.

"I'm sending you a new set of blueprints and forging ideas. Think about them carefully and see if you can forge it."

Ron walked over.

Upon hearing this, her eyes lit up with anticipation, and Beta's earlier words echoed in her mind.

Just when she thought Ron was going to give her a private lesson, she saw Ron reach out and touch her forehead.

Soon, a flood of memories, seemingly unearthed from the depths of her brain, appeared in her mind.

Three seconds later, Ron withdrew his hand.

He stood there, stunned, for a moment.

The new forging techniques and weapon blueprints were a bit overwhelming for her at first.

"Let's understand it carefully."

Ron raised his hand, intending to send her back.

"and many more."

He immediately shouted.

"Ron...Lord Kong, do you need a magic wand?"

In a rush, she came up with this topic.

"I am used to close combat."

Ron said.

"Then I'll forge you a melee weapon."

In an instant.

"no need."

Ron shook his head.

Weapons can enhance the power of magic and martial arts and reduce damage, but they can also interfere with the casting of magic and martial arts.

High-level weapons all possess corresponding runes, which resonate with external elements and the body's energy or magic, thereby enhancing the power of martial arts or magic.

This is the advantage.

Conversely, the drawbacks are also obvious.

When you hold a weapon like a sword and try to cast a spell, the force of the weapon will resonate with your magic, disrupting your magic circuits and preventing you from casting the spell smoothly.

The same principle applies when you hold a wand. When attempting to use martial arts techniques, the magical resonance generated by the wand disrupts the flow of energy, making it impossible to wield the weapon.

Well, this drawback is basically imperceptible to other people.

Because most people specialize in either magic or martial arts.

Even if you learn two, they are mostly at the lower levels.

Low-level skills are easy to use, and weapon resonance does not affect skill casting.

But he was different.

He studied both advanced levels and was accustomed to using magic and martial arts in a coordinated manner. For him, the role of weapons was more beneficial than harmful.

Even sacred artifacts have this drawback.

Therefore, he basically doesn't use weapons.

They only use some low-level weapons.

Low-tier weapons don't resonate as strongly.

However, the growth rate is also not good.

In short, he has little need for weapons.

For him, the greatest use of weapons was to show off.

"Shall I forge you a weapon that can be used as both a wand and a knife?"

Hearing Ron's refusal, Setsuna did not give up and continued to inquire.

She was aware that Ron was a rare genius who excelled in both magic and martial arts.

She now really wants to do something to repay Ron for his trust in her.

The advanced forging techniques that Ron taught her were as valuable to a blacksmith as eighth-order magic, or even ninth-order magic.

Ron: It was quite expensive, costing me 50,000 reputation points.

In short, Setsuna was deeply moved that Ron would impart such a precious thing to her on their very first meeting.

This trust deserves to be repaid with one's life.

"If you can do it, then do it."

Ron smiled and replied.

If she can forge such a weapon, then she can be considered to have graduated.

"I will work hard."

"It was a moment," he said earnestly.

"If you need any materials, just go to Alpha."

Ron smiled and nodded, raising his hand to escort her back.

"Sora-sama."

He hurriedly called out again in an instant.

"Anything else?"

Ron asked.

"Well... I just joined the organization and don't have a codename yet."

She said in a soft, sweet voice in an instant.

She remembered everything Beta and Night had said earlier.

The uncrowned fourth-in-command... we should still try to win him over if we can.

"Gamma".

Ron said casually.

"If you think it's suitable, then take it and use it."

He has always thought that his choice of names was very poor.

I don't know what kind of person would like it.

“Gamma…”

She read it aloud for a moment, then said with delight and gratitude, "Thank you for the name, I like it very much."

"...If you like it, that's good."

Ron nodded: "Do you have any other questions?"

This time he asked in advance.

May I kiss you?

In a moment of joy, he immediately spoke.

"..."

What started as a handshake has now escalated into a kiss, which is a bit too much.

"Just a kiss on the back of your hand."

The girl quickly explained, "This is a custom of our race. Kissing the back of someone's hand is a way of expressing loyalty and protection."

You're talking nonsense.

This is clearly a custom for expressing love.
