Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

Orsted made the final decision based on the new standards decided just last night:

"Except Princess Ariel."

Just as Gawain was about to say something, Orstead changed his tone:

"No, not even Ariel. As long as she's disobedient, incompetent, or selfish, any of those things can be killed. Keeping the royal family and the powerful class will better maintain the country and allow us to use the country's power. Gawain, you should act according to this idea."

Gawain understood Orsted's thoughts, so he immediately shook his head and refuted:

"I know a more efficient way to rule. So, let's change the standard, Orstead. Who do you want to die?"

Orsted hesitated, as if this was the last time. After a moment's silence, he spoke coldly:

"You will judge."

Gawain smiled happily.

After finishing the business, Gao Wen looked at Nanahoshi Shizuka, who was already wearing a mask, and communicated with her through telepathy:

"A face with soft facial lines is also beautiful."

Nanahoshi was even more frightened. She was shaking so much that she could hardly hold the pen. Gao Wen felt that Nanahoshi Shizuka was too prejudiced against him. He said goodbye and turned to fly away without bothering to correct her.

Less than a minute later, Gawain walked into the palace of the Kingdom of Nairis. It was early in the morning, and the king and his ministers were gathered in the audience room. He casually pushed the door open and walked in. The guards didn't even have the courage to report to him. It was better to say that those who could stand in front of Gawain without losing their legs were the elite among the elite.

Gawain had a pretty good relationship with the top management of Neris. After all, this country was based on magic tool manufacturing technology and was originally in direct conflict with the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce. It was precisely because of this that it received the friendliest treatment from Gawain and Sylphy in the early days after the Great Migration Disaster, especially Sylphy.

As soon as they entered the audience room, the king was so frightened that he stood up, walked down the steps and took the initiative to greet him. He showed his unfavorable flattering smile:

"Welcome to Neris, Your Excellency."

The ministers and knights on either side of the king also bowed deeply in the noble etiquette of Neris. Seeing that Gawain's face was calm, the king continued to boast:

"Our country is currently discussing matters concerning you. I'd like to ask, have you decided on the title of Great Power? We will fully assist and cooperate with your forces in conducting positive propaganda. Please also allow our history of friendship with you to be included in our textbooks."

Gawain and King Nerys walked side by side to the depths of the audience room. He climbed the steps, sat down, and tested the comfort of King Nerys's throne before answering casually:

"[Martial God], I have formed a life and death alliance with [Dragon God]. I hope you will forgive me if I bother you in the future."

Hearing this, everyone present was a little nervous. You, old man, have already sat on the throne, why are you asking us to be tolerant?

Gawain gave the Throne of Nerys a score of 7.310, probably because it was located in the North. At least it was covered with animal skins and wouldn't hurt his butt. He stood up and explained his purpose:

"Give me the area of ​​Sharia and its surroundings within a radius of 500 kilometers. The specific borders will be defined according to the natural terrain and urban planning. No more, no less."

Subconsciously, King Nairis was a little anxious:

"but..."

Gao Wen sympathetically explained to him:

"They will agree. You should be grateful for the opportunity I've given you to set an example. Furthermore, in exchange, I promise that the Kingdom of Nairis will not decline because of me, and you will be given a precious seat at the forefront of the new era of magical technology."

No room for refusal, no room for negotiation. King Nairis bowed deeply:

"I will obey your command."

"very good."

Gawain praised him, and he slowly raised one of his hands behind his back. A huge white stone tablet then rose up from the ground, inch by inch, and an invisible chisel engraved a new chapter on it.

"This is a gift."

The ministers subconsciously stepped forward and poked their heads out. King Nairis looked at the winding lines on the stone tablet, feeling bewildered by the familiarity.

"Your Excellency, Martial God, this is different from the world map circulating in the market, right?"

Gao Wen clapped his hands and praised:

"This is the New World, after all."

It depicts the nearly half-vanished Wanglong Mountains, the northern dense forests that have been transformed into a plain desert, the red dragon's jaws that have flattened thousands of miles of mountains, the Bekalit continent that has been divided into two by a quarter of its area turning into a vast ocean, and the highlighted circle:

Within just one hour, [New Sharia] was completely ceded to the three kingdoms and four parties.

After the Magic Guild President respectfully escorted Gawain out, the [Martial God Imperial City], covering an area of ​​more than 900,000 square kilometers - Academy City Shalia, was officially born.

Then came the surrender and submission of the three magical kingdoms and the neutral organization, the Magic Guild.

Since then, the crown of the strongest power in the human world has fallen into the hands of the [Magical Alliance]. Under the alliance of the two supreme powers, the world order that has maintained for more than four hundred years has become as fragile as a child's joke. The changes in the world map have made it impossible for the powerful to even have the courage to resist, as if they were born without such a function.

You must know that the demon Laplace almost overturned the world.

The God of War and the God of Dragon joined hands and were determined to be unstoppable.

Chapter 2 Living together

After easily handling the Three Kingdoms meeting, Gawain decided to leave the "Magical Alliance" he had made up to the subsequent employees to complete and solve, and no longer care about it.

Following the guidance of magic, he landed on the gravel road at the edge of the Shalia residential area, and joined Roxy and Elinalize who were checking the surrounding environment.

Gao Wen asked:

"Have you picked out a house yet?"

Elinarize was not at all uncomfortable with Gawain's sudden appearances, while Roxy was already accustomed to it. She answered casually as if Gawain had never left:

"All sorts of things."

Gao Wen understood and raised his eyebrows:

"So, you found someone you really like?"

Roxy ruptured Gawain's Achilles tendon with a low kick, completely destroying his career. The cruel blue-haired demon even spitted at him:

"I can see that you don't even cooperate with me! Bad."

Elina Lijie felt that domestic violence could not be tolerated, so she immediately took sides and pointed forward:

"That's the one Luo Qixi likes, huh? She's even paid the money and signed the contract."

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is already predictable.

Roxy, who had become quite close to Elinalize at some point, tugged at her sleeve and complained:

"Lijie, why are you like this?"

After a commotion, Luo Qixi started to show off frankly:

"Okay, okay! That's the house, huh? It's pretty nice, isn't it? I think you'd like a place like this, Gawain, that's close to school and has plenty of open space. Plus, this house has large front and back yards, making it easy to plan a garden. It has two floors and a basement, and the kitchen, bathroom, and living room are all very spacious."

Gao Wen praised:

"You have good taste. Besides, the housing prices near the residential area will be cheaper, right? After all, we just moved here and are still short of money!"

Luo Qixi immediately felt that Comrade Gao Wen was very sensible, and she continued to be complacent with this setting:

"Although this house is a bit old, with a little sprucing up, it could even be called a mansion or a mansion, right? Pretty impressive, right? Even better, it's only half the price of a house of the same size. I even slashed the final price by 20%, buying it for 40% of the market price, plus 436 Lanoa gold coins and 3 large silver coins after tax."

Elinarijie jumps to different camps like a fence-sitter:

"You're spending Luo Qixi's own money, huh?"

Luo Qixi smiled shyly, and Gao Wen also cooperated by asking in a TV sales pitch tone:

"So why is it so cheap?"

Luo Qixi was so proud that she lost her temper and spoke without restraint:

"Of course it's because this is a haunted, cursed house!"

Finally, Gawain couldn't hold back his laughter.

Luo Qixi reacted and glared at him. Gawain spread his hands and defended himself:

"I'm not laughing at you, okay? I just think you're cute like this, Roxy. After all, you're already powerful and rich, yet you're still as stingy and fussy as before."

Luo Qixi became even angrier. She took Elina Lijie's arm and decided to drag Gawain's mother along to isolate this annoying guy, but Elina Lijie just watched them interacting with an auntie's smile on her face, and seemed to have no intention of interfering.

She was isolated instead of being isolated, and could only angrily refute:

"That's all my money! If I hadn't managed to bargain successfully, I wouldn't be able to afford this house! You stinky Gawain, if you don't like it, then find a place to live on your own!"

Gao Wen crossed his arms and tilted his head to look at her:

"But, according to common sense, the house you bought, Luo Qixi, is your home, right? So, are you inviting me to live in your house?"

Loki's eyes were wandering, and she was about to turn around and sneak away with small steps, but she forgot that one of her arms was held by Elinalize. Elinalize, who had just pretended to be neutral, stabbed Loki in the back very dishonestly and hugged her by both shoulders, making Loki so stressed that her face turned red.

Elinarize coaxed softly, the effect was like a succubus:

"Luo Qixi, didn't you want to tell him in person not long ago? This happens to be a good opportunity, right?"

Luo Qixi whimpered, looked down at her toes, and then mustered up the courage to look along the gravel road towards Gawain in front of her, gazing into his icy blue eyes.

"Although I bought it, this is your home. Just think of it as a gift from your master, hum!"

Elinalize released the hand that was restraining Lokisi, covered her face with her hands, and was completely unable to bear it. She began to suspect that her presence might have hindered Lokisi's performance.

Tsundere and the like have long been out of fashion, right?

But Gawain just smiled and walked forward to touch her hair. After giving his mother a thankful look, he took Luo Qixi's cold little hand, pulled her to open the gate and walked inside, and asked gently:

"Luo Qixi, can you direct me to renovate it?"

Luo Qixi, who was feeling depressed because of her poor performance, cheered up after hearing this. She took the lead without hesitation:

"Of course!"

Gawain quickly ascended to the sky, and under Lokisi's command, he used material creation magic to completely reshape the house's exterior, reinforcing it as well. After years of practice, Gawain's mastery of material creation magic had reached perfection. He could analyze the composition and structure of bricks and tiles in seconds, then restore them instantly with magic.

After casually strengthening the frame, Gawain snapped his fingers, and the roof transformed into a verdant glaze, while the walls turned a moon-white. Lokisi led Gawain around the house, pointing out every detail. The weeds, dead trees, and rocks were cleared away, leaving the entire yard immaculately clean. Even the walls of the mansion were reconstructed.

From the outside, it looks like a new house.

After remodeling the tattered door into a heavy, dark brown, solemn wooden door, Gawain and Lokishi pushed the door open and walked in. Lokishi and Elina Lijie had already come in with the house manager to check it out, so Lokishi continued to show Gawain the way. Every time they passed a place, everything became brand new, becoming more practical, convenient, exquisite, and lifelike.

During his time in Roa, Gawain was quite knowledgeable about architectural decoration and various miscellaneous furniture. He was also quite keen on decorating his and Sylphy's home until that home was destroyed by the Great Transference.

In fact, the total area of ​​this mansion is two or three times smaller than the former Vitrudia House, but it doesn’t matter, as expansion is not difficult.

Soon, both floors were renovated, and all that was left was to buy new daily necessities and miscellaneous items before people could move in. Although no curses or evil spirits were found, Gawain still used his divine strike to clean the entire house.

Only then did they step into the basement, which Gawain only intended to completely rebuild.

"Hmm? There's a secret door here."

Gawain noticed something was wrong, and Lokixi immediately went over to push it away excitedly. As a result, a puppet with a knife rushed over. Lokixi tied it up and froze the mouse in the corner into ice. Then he lost interest:

"I thought there really was some curse?"

The cause of the haunted house was solved instantly. It was obvious that the owner of the house for several generations had placed the autonomous magic doll in the dark room in the basement. The owner had not returned for some reason before relieving the doll of its autonomous mission. The subsequent residents who took over the house would naturally be judged as intruders by the magic doll and excluded.

After studying the chamber, the two discovered it was a secret research facility for autonomous magic dolls, a valuable asset. They decided that Gawain would seal the entire chamber and move it outdoors, rebuilding a new basement four times the size of the above-ground interior, similar to the Vitrudia residence.

Of course, the basement Gawain had built wasn't some low-quality, primitive secret research facility like the demolished darkroom. Instead, it housed a large, neatly planned storage area, a personal defense zone, a free-range activity zone, as well as a professional and highly protected chemical laboratory, a large biological laboratory, a microbiology and virus laboratory, a materials laboratory, a magic testing area, a computing power center, and industrial workshops.

The two of them revisited every corner of their new home. There was nothing that needed major changes. In the largest bedroom, Luo Qixi said with satisfaction:

“That’s it!”

"I gave you the money, so please give me the biggest room."

Gawain was always generous. He interlocked his fingers with Lokisi's hands, pressed her against the wall, and held Lokisi's little head, then kissed her deeply.

The struggle is so intense that even the weaker party is unwilling to stop:

"Of course, you are the head of the family."

Lokixi, who was coaxed into a trance, immediately forgot about pretending to be angry.

Chapter 3 Tribute is an advanced way to form an alliance

Chapter 3 Cohabitation (2)

After rebuilding their new home, the two invited Elina Lijie to comment on it and give her some suggestions. However, Elina Lijie had been wandering for many years and had no opinions on settling down.

Gao Wen asked:

"Mom, which room are you going to choose?"

Elina Lijie refused:

"I won't live with you. When I return with Sylphy, I plan to enroll in the Lanoa School of Magic to woo handsome young men. Little Gawain, you can help me arrange my enrollment then."
