Unspeakable bubbles

Ultimately, the problem lies with the legendary legion of the Griffin family.

Money, fame, noble vassals... those are all illusions; only the legendary legion is the foundation of everything!

One night, after figuring this out, Andy, still a teenager, rushed to his father without even getting dressed and loudly expressed his thoughts.

However, after patiently listening to what he had to say, the father only showed a relieved yet helpless smile.

“Child, you’ve grown up, but it’s too late. Everything is already too late.”

It was too late. A century had passed, and with the further erosion of chaos, the environment suitable for the griffin, a semi-chaotic creature, to inhabit had already undergone fundamental changes.

It was too late. During the Griffin family's heyday, they were only complacent about clinging to the secrets of taming griffins, never considering what would happen if one day wild griffins could no longer be found within the kingdom's borders.

It was too late; by the time the Griffin family realized the problem, it was already too late.

Several exceptionally intelligent family heads racked their brains to find a solution. They tried artificial breeding of griffins, crossbreeding griffins with other ferocious beasts, and even using mysterious methods to induce birth...

It cannot be said that there were no results, but it is clear that these results were insufficient to change the family's predicament.

The kingdom's only legendary air force, with a full complement of 77,777 men, can now only muster a small squad of griffon riders to maintain its prestige.

The young heir was clearly unable to accept the decline of his family. He didn't care what the deeper, global internal causes were behind the near extinction of the once ubiquitous griffins in just a century.

He didn't care how much effort his ancestors had put in or how much helplessness they had faced.

He didn't care about nonsense like "fortune turns like a wheel" or "what goes up must come down".

All Andy saw was the splendor of the other three dukes, and the faint pity in the eyes of the visiting nobles!

That night, after listening to his father's words, he slammed the door and left, vowing to revitalize the family and rebuild the legendary legion.

'What you can't do, I can definitely do!'

The young and ambitious heir is unaware of the hardships of the world and believes that he will succeed simply by working hard.

Of course, after several years of wasting time, Andy accomplished nothing.

He realized his naiveté back then, but he was unwilling to give up. In the end, Andy set his sights on his family's treasure trove.

The Griffin family has a rich history, and even now, they still have a lot of treasures in their treasury.

Andy found many priceless items: a sword that could cut through iron like mud, a talking turtle, a scroll that could summon high-level chaotic creatures...

However, the treasure vault seemed to contain nothing that could pull the family out of its predicament.

That's only natural. If such a treasure really existed, the previous heads of the family would have used it long ago, and it wouldn't have been Andy's turn.

With nowhere else to turn, Andy searched every corner of the treasure vault and finally found a very old notebook.

Marquis Carmen's Undead Legion?

Yes, this is it! What a blessing from the goddess of fortune!

Andy excitedly presented the scroll to his father. The old marquis read it but didn't say much, only encouraging his son.

The old Marquis clearly didn't believe the nonsense inside... and even Andy himself might not have believed it.

But what other options are there?

The much more sensible heir comforted his elderly father, saying that the family's luck had turned around and that he would definitely succeed this time.

The father smiled, seemingly seeing through his child's bravado.

"Go for it, Andy. Just do what you want to do. I'm not old yet, and it's not your turn to shoulder the burden of the family."

"..."

"Sir, Madam just sent someone over to say she personally made your favorite cream stew." A servant's words interrupted Andy's reverie.

"Okay, let's go back then."

Andy closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his face was radiant with confidence.

After several days of observation and reflection, he has figured out exactly how to 'pass the level'.

Section 147, Chapter 146: The Otaku Inventor

"Honey, what will become of me and the baby if you've become like this!"

The Marquise collapsed by the bedside, sobbing uncontrollably, and a little boy joined in the wailing.

"Hey, don't cry. Bubble already said you've mistaken me for someone else."

The little girl lay on the bed, looking somewhat melancholy at the aunt whose face was streaked with tears.

Even after three or four days, Bubble still didn't understand what was going on.

Not only were there a group of people surrounding him, calling him "Marquis," but the woman in front of him also insisted that she was his wife.

But, how could that be?

"You've really mistaken me for someone else. Bubble is on a trip. Rabbit is naughty and snatched Bubble's hat."

"While we were chasing it, Bubble somehow ended up here."

The little girl explained again with a pained expression, but after hearing what she said, the aunt suddenly became agitated.

"You demon!"

The Marquis suddenly looked up, glaring at Bubble through gritted teeth: "Get out of my husband's body!"

"Bubble is a good boy, not a devil..."

What do you want?

The Marquis's tone softened, and she pleaded, "Money or slaves? Just spare my husband, and I'll find you any man or woman you want in the territory!"

"Bubble wants to go home. She doesn't want money or slaves," the little girl said helplessly.

"My poor Carmen! I warned you long ago to stop making those strange inventions."

"If it weren't for this, if it weren't for this, you wouldn't have been targeted by the devil!"

The Marquise lay on the bed and cried again, sobbing uncontrollably. Finally, the old butler realized that this was not a solution and personally helped her out.

"Warner, what did the doctor say today?" The Marquis asked immediately as soon as they stepped out the door.

"Madam, the doctors all say, all say..." The old butler hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"Say!"

"They all say that the master is possessed by a demon and that they need to call the church pastor."

“Could it be that my dear is just playing a joke on us? You know, his temper can be quite unpredictable sometimes,” the Marchioness asked after a moment of silence.

"...Madam, the master is a man who knows what is important and wouldn't make such a joke."

The old butler sighed, shattering the mistress's hopes.

"You can't see a pastor."

The Marchioness's face darkened. "It's alright for doctors who have no connections or background, but those pastors who have the church backing them can't just disappear without a trace."

"Carmen's matter must not be spread, otherwise the entire territory will be in chaos."

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Call that child out and forbid him from going near Carmen's bedroom from now on."

"Also, I'll handle things on the territory for now. Until things are back to normal, don't let anyone unrelated get close to him!"

Upon hearing this, the old butler's expression changed drastically.

The affairs of the territory will be temporarily handled by the mistress, and no one is allowed to approach the Marquis. This is clearly house arrest!

"Yes, madam."

Warner nodded with difficulty. If the Marquis were still normal, he would never do such a thing. But, but now it seems that he can only use the lady's method.

"Try to get that demon to talk to you. What does it want? As long as you let my dear go, I will definitely give it what it wants."

The Marquise instructed, "Don't skimp on their food and clothing; try to meet their requests, unless they are particularly difficult."

“Yes, madam.” The old butler bowed to his mistress. “Please take care of your health. The entire territory depends on you now.”

The Marquis gave a wry smile, but still nodded to the loyal old butler.

'Darling, please change back soon.'

.................................................. ...................

"The Marquis has arrived!"

"My lord!"

"You've worked hard, sir!"

This is the border of Carmen Territory. A group of slaves were building a defense system when they saw their lord coming to inspect the territory surrounded by his guards. They were overjoyed and gathered around him.

"Well, I brought some things to thank everyone this time. Go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."

Upon hearing that there were gifts, the slaves cheered loudly, praising the Marquis of Carmen for his kindness and greatness.

Seeing this, Andy forced a smile, but he couldn't feel happy at all.

Counting the days, he had been in this secret realm for two weeks.

In his opinion, to successfully 'pass the test', he needed to make up for the regrets left by the Marquis Carmen.

This secret realm is inextricably linked to the Marquis of Carmen; in fact, Andy would believe it if someone told him that the Marquis of Carmen created this incredible secret realm.

Now that the secret realm is real, and I've taken on the role of Marquis Carmen, it's clear what I need to do.

'To change the original fate of Marquis Carmen and make up for the regrets in his heart.'

Andy was initially full of confidence, after all, he had the notebook, which allowed him to 'foresee' future events. With such a cheat code, how could he not complete the game perfectly?

However, after gradually learning about the situation in the territory, Andy lost his optimism.

The Kingdom of Brad practiced slavery, which was common in the early Dark Ages.

Andy wasn't offended by this; in fact, he was somewhat relieved.

'Sain also transitioned from a system of slavery to a feudal system; having a broader perspective, I am acutely aware of the drawbacks of slavery!'

Initially, Andy was full of confidence, thinking he would carry out sweeping reforms, unleash productivity, and lead Carmen to its peak.
