Chapter 27

Announcement: I want to apologize to everyone about the lack of details and emotions because for it hard and my comp 1 and 2 teacher talk about it as well. Next even it was a two or three months ago I want to clear up some misunderstandings from a review back then. I made same sex and women workers already because the mc will mostly likely do it and it just skips over it plus the mc is from a modern world and knows the women can be another source of labor. Next about that review (if you wrote and still reading I am not calling you out) I did not write about Russia on earth because I can't be bothered to look for figures at that time plus the mc would have to watch his back against the nobles while trying to improve the country. You all should know how conservative they are. At the same time it will be just watching history again with changes. I wouldn't even be able to colonize much less compete with the British. Also as I had replied to that person yes the other nations are in the dark ages (at least the ones he is around atm) and what irked is when the person said that the world is the dark ages and the historical realism is ruined. I'm sorry but what? Have you seen the anime 'Gate' and thought the same thing. Also historical knowledge doesn't just apply to knowing the vents of history it also plays to the there things such as weapons, new intentions and other things. If your so call historical knowledge only apply to events in history then don't call it historical knowledge. There is literal novels who has guys with modern 21st century weapons' in medieval worlds but mine is a problem. I also the beginning chapters were horrible and it was my first time writing and thank you all for still sticking around. I don't delete reviews but please read the whole synopsis before you read and read before you make a review. last thing I don't have a historical tag for a good reason. Thanks for reading my rant. Lets go the the chapter.

.......

'system' he says to bring up the system Hud. He almost forgot about it.

Name: Vladimir Romanov

Age: 10

Titles: Tsar of Russia

Points: 50

Shop

He sighs, looking at his meager amounts of points.

"System, how can I get more points?" He asks.

*host can earn points from conquering other nations based on its size and rank* a monotone voice answers.

*you can gain extra points from the way how the nation is conquered through strength, money, diplomacy, and intrigue. It is also stackable. * the system says continuing.

*host can also gain a monthly set of points from building man-made wonders or finding natural wonders of this world, but it will have to be in your territory* the system finishes.

"then how many points can I get if I conquer Arcana?"

*through strength host can earn 2500 points*

Vladimir thinks about this but asks the system something "then the system wouldn't conquer be the way to go?"

*yes, host, but you should also take into consideration the people you conquer, their culture, how well you rule and other factors come into play. Constants wars can make your people dissatisfied with you and don't forget the as a ruler your goal is to improve the life of your people and nation*

Vladimir couldn't help but frown because he was ready to turn into a warmonger and just conquer his way west, and he understands that the system is right as well. I can fight in the front if my rear isn't secured.

But he smiles again, knowing he can just build wonders. He enters the shop and scrolls down to the man-made wonders section and frowned again. The more ancient the wonder the more expensive. One of the cheaper ones is the Christ Redeemer Statue, and that is 200,000 points. He could only close the tab and look at other things

He saw interesting items from bicycles to the early refrigerator to even braille. What caught his eye the most were the battery, the telegraph, and the cameras. The daguerreotypes to be more specific. As a camera made to the public in the 1840s to 50s, it was well known and great for its time. Though you had to sit still for 60 to 90 seconds for the photo to be taken.

He closes the system, not knowing that his guards were watching the changes of his expressions and wondering what happened with him to be smiling and frowning more than once in a few minutes. They didn't ask him and just continue to keep watch.

6 days pass by with uneventful days. The time of the ball King Roland is holding has come. Vladimir is well dressed in blue wool plain weave, full finish with a silk cut and velvet on twin foundation. He wore leather boots instead of short black shoes with white socks. He just didn't like the style compared to the neatness of the leather boots addition.

He had arrived sometime after it had already started. He had brought guards and others with gifts to carry, but left them out in the hallway. He made his way over to the corner to observe everyone. Others had seen him but thought he was some else child. Some did recognize from a few days ago and heard about his deeds with the siege, and others took a fancy to his fashion.

"not that interesting," he says to himself. This goes on for some time with some occasionally coming to talk to him. As for Roland, he sat and watching everyone. He says Vladimir and Vladimir only gave him a nod.

When it was coming to close that's when Roland stood up and the place got quiet. Everyone looked towards the king.

"A few months ago the kingdom of Arcana came across Russia, and so far since then we have not had any conflict. Instead, we have seen friendship between our nations. I held this ball in the honor of not just our new neighbors but also its leader "He looks over to Vladimir and so does everyone. It wasn't unexpected for Vladimir as he walks up to eh front and in front of Roland. He gives a slight bow then says.

"Thank you king Roland and in turn, for your generosity, I had brought gifts," Vladimir claps his hands loudly. Servants with trays soon came in.

"I have brought spices, clothes, and other novelties of Russia hoping you will enjoy." Roland wasn't the only one interested in the gifts, so were the guests, especially when he showed a pocket watch and how it was used. The ball continued on with dancing and talking, but Vladimir left early because tomorrow he will leave and visit the elves and have a proposal to ask the queen there.
