BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76.3
Chapter 76.3
“His Highness Camille has managed to get us out of the capital and in contact with the scattered followers of Flare-sama.”
“Cam…”
Nicholas followed up quietly, knowing that I did not understand the reason why Cam, who was being watched by the king, would do such a dangerous thing.
“Camille-sama said that Carol-sama is alive with Maia and the others. He decided that he would need Miss Flare’s help to prove Carol-sama’s innocence.”
“Since we cannot rely on other countries, we are worried about our strength, so we have disguised ourselves in the Kingdom’s army to join forces with the demons who were currently at war with the Caenista… and to defeat Lord Prata.”
“I see…”
Cam was working for me…. You made a dangerous move, you idiot….
“Okay, but why is Nicholas here too?”
“Well, I was just wondering if the subhuman forces would have additional information about Carol-sama…”
“You were wondering about Maia’s safety, weren’t you?”
“Ah, well…”
Nicholas clammed up, and Maia’s face reddened as she waited by the wall.
“Please, Demon Lord…no, Carol-sama! Please help Flare-sama!”
Lilia’s frantic voice broke a little towards the end of the explanation, and the eyes of her followers turned to me.
Flare huh… I would like to help her if I can because I owe her a debt. At the same time, I wanted to take a look at Caenista, and even more than that, I wanted to break their ties with Cam.
“I understand.”
My words brought joy to Lilia and the others’ faces.
“I will crush Caenista.”
The words that followed made everyone except me turn blue.
“Carol-sama…? Are you trying to destroy Caenista?”
Nicholas screamed as if he represented everyone’s feelings.
They must have seen my power as a Demon Lord and the monsters who were bowing down to me on the battlefield, so they thought that I was going to destroy their country by force.
Those demons must have followed me because I became an Ancient Elf, but I was also surprised when they suddenly came close to me when my presence became known through the use of 10th class magic.
There were many commoners in the kingdom who knew nothing about the situation, as well as the nobles who fell victim to Alice. If I led the monsters and the daemons to invade, many people would be harmed.
“No, I won’t destroy it. I will simply crush those people.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Nicholas, Lilia, and the others’ eyes shook with confusion.
“As I recall, Flare was supporting the nobles on the frontier, right? Did you get them on your side?”
“Yes, yes. We used our private funds to secretly buy food from neighboring countries and give it to the impoverished nobles’ territories, but the damage was too great, so it was only about a third of the total…”
“Can merchants from other countries use any currency?”
“…They should be fine, in my opinion. Of course, only coins that are trustworthy can be used, but even in the royal capital, there are several large merchant houses that should be able to use any currency.”
“Can I use this?”
I command [System], dropping a silver coin from my palm.
“It’s the official silver coin of Isbell Continent.”
“This is, I think it can be used…”
The silver coins were followed by a flood of similar silver coins that spilled from the table and spread across the floor, making Lilia scream in shock.
“How many more do you need?”
“”…””
One credit from the VRMMO was one silver coin. One silver coin was equivalent to 10,000 yen… It was more than enough money to destroy a country through inflation.
Now, time to start the calculations of how to destroy Caenista.
