31. The Kingdom Again.

From the adventure to the west, Arthur gained tons of treasures. And now he was going to sell them, at a place he doesn't know yet.

"Do you really not want to come?"

"I can't the emperor would notice me."

"That makes no sense, you are in the same mountain."

"Cause this place is hidden by the aura of Demon Kings."

"Well, i'm going to go then."

"Bye!"

After leaving Clari in his room, he set out to the kingdom once again. Through the same entrance, the same place, and exiting at the same town.

As Arthur had already been to the market place of the Kingdom, he already knew where to go.

As Arthur arrived at the market, he tried his best to look for a good place to sell his goods at a black market level price.

But when he thinks about it, in such a place, there will just be no black markets or the sorts, as that would make no sense.

At the same time, Arthur didn't want to go back just to ask if a market in the hideout actually existed, but he probably didn't need it as once again, this place has the most absurd currency he has ever known.

"Then should I even sell my items..."

"Well they are clogging my inventory, it only makes sense."

Arthur still has no way of checking his balance, but now he just had to sell some items to count how much money he has at the moment.

So in the end he still needed to sell items if he actually wanted to buy ones. And he will never risk lying, if it was that easy, such a currency would have been broken the moment it was established.

It will never even last a second.

"I heard you are the richest shop in the capital."

"What would you like to sell sir."

In Darin, merchants do not exist. They are unknown throughout the world, so other than calling a rich merchant, all you can possibly do is go to a rich business.

"All of these." Arthur walked in the biggest shop he could find. It wasn't even in the market section. He just went around the capital to look for a big jewelry shop.

A huge pile of swords, gold, jewelry, and doors...

"Oopse." Taking out the weird doors, Arthur immediately retracted them.

When the shop owner saw it his jaw dropped. How many quality items are in a pile taller than Arthur at the height of 6.2 ft.(189 centimeter.)

The owner went to the back of his shop and when he came back he was carrying huge bags of money and dropped it off in front of them.

Arthur finally got his money and went on. Until he remembered something. How did he just get a bag of money.

When he opened it, it was air. It felt way too real to be solid and way too fake to real.

And Arthur basically got scammed. Or well, did he. The currency still made no sense to Arthur.

But it was truly simple to think about. It was all probably still real and Arthur just went on his way. He will rule this place soon anyways so it doesn't matter if he doesn't get any money or does give money.

And as Arthur walked home. He started to just observe his inventory. He left a single sword in his inventory to match the dragon scale sword that he had.

And at the same time he had a skill card and 2 gacha boxes. Arthur really wanted to open the gacha boxes and as he really did, it truly was a great idea. But right now, killing the 9th king is very urgent.

And even if he does die, it was ok, he had the 3rd King with him.

"You are to go to the edges of the western side."

"Fuck! I just went there god fucking damn it, how did you go to the west and disappear just to comment a single time.

Arthur decided to bring Clari. It was a good idea as Clari was a much bigger seniority.

And as the two walked out of the mountain to the direction of the west, Arthur was curious about some things.

"How are you able to kill some people fast and not fast."

"Well simple, cause my curse allows me too.'

"What?"

"I have the ability to kill anyone who loves me."

"That is absurd! Thank god I was-". Arthur's head was squished like it was about to explode. Now it makes much more sense how he died so many times so fast at the start. Yet she couldn't even fight Arthur when they needed to.

"You love me, I know that."

"Ok! Ok!"

"Good."

"Then that means you can just kill the 9th king easily."

"Well yes... I may be really needed when we meet him."

"But i'll handle it, I wanna train my strength."

"Are you insane! Don't ever think of the 9th king as a training device!" Clari yelled like a protective mother, only looking out for her child.

As Arthur truly wanted to experience a fight with an actual combat King, Clari couldn't even allow such a thing to happen.

"Dont you dare underestimate a king."

"Ok! Ok! I'll decide when I see him."

And the two continued till Arthur started talking again.

"By the way, why didn't you kill Kraul when you met him?"

"Cause I didn't need to."

"But he is a spy and a terrorist."

"I am not part of the Kingdom anymore, I am now only for you.". Despite such a threatening line. Clari smiled just like an innocent child.

"Can I ask?"

"Yes?"

"How many people like me are there?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know, people who don't love you-"

"Say it one more time!"

"Then i'll kiss you another time."

Clari blushed and she was instantly defeated. 'Is it a pretty face?'

"Anyway, what I wanted to ask was, is there anyone?"

"Yes, 3 people."

"Inclu-"

"I told you to stop and Shut Up Arthur!"

"So as you were asking." Clari lifted her hand and acted like a middle aged woman resdy for some scooping.

"The answer is the 2nd and 1st king, and the last, the emperor."

"Wait that means..." Clari answered the question without much need length anymore.

"Yes even the priest loves me."

"How though?"

"Guess even go-"

"I'm talking about the 2 kings."

"Well that is simple."

***

The 9 kings. A group of goblins some will commonly know as the "Round Table".

As a classic reference to Arthur himself.

They are all equal in power. Even the 9th demon king could defeat the 6th and 3rd King as easily as possible.

Let us start with the least.

The 9th King, a special king known for his limitless potential and an absolute mind so smart it was truly sad he just never focused.

"The King Of Prodigies." Through fighting strong opponents to always getting stronger than ever at each fight. To never find someone who could defeat him.

He was so talented that the emperor refused to let him fight the 2nd and 1st king to stagnate his growth.

The 8th King. A goblin that has mastered the sword and its absoluteness.

A being powerful enough to slice mountains in an effortless swing.

And I am positive you can't stop that.

The "King Of The Sword.". A goblin obsessed with swords. Even he has a lot of sword collections enough to kill a thousand goblins with different swords each.

Feared by all, he is one of the most active king being the number 1 front of the goblins fighting against "that".

The 7th King. A rampaging king with an endless desire for painful affection. A day with endless and relentless torture is his everyday meal.

The "King of Terror." Other than being feared by using weapons or to die. Everyone knew the 7th king was someone who could just stay still and kill everyone on sight.

But always remember, torture is his favorite thing ever.

The 6th King, someone who no one should underestimate as he was able to build "that and that" that has helped this country way too much. In a free cause at the same time.

The "King of Intelligence." They say never fight the King in an isolated place. You never know what might happen if there were any devices meant just to kill you.

The 5th King, a fearsome being who has reached the highest peak possible with a huge disadvantage.

"The Blind Queen." The only other female in the 9 kings other than the 3rd King, despite her blindness, she was able to reach the height of a King with an unknown power.

The 4th King, a goblin that has always been on the edge of being the 3rd King.

The "King of War". The leading captain of the kingdom's army. As a leader of the 1st army of the kingdom, you might think he has excellent commander abilities.

But his name never came from that. As a goblin who is known as a one man army, no amount of any living thing has ever killed him, even when he is always alone.

The 2nd King, an emotionless monster, born with a lack of emotions and empathy. A monster that even the emperor has a problem keeping in a leash.

The "King of Death". No one other than the emperor and the 9 Kings themselves have ever seen the face of the 2nd King.

It is truly, in the essence none. As no one has ever been alive when they even slightly catch the 2nd King's attention.

And the weapon was made just to keep him still...

The 1st King, a weapon made by the kingdom. A goblin that is neither alive nor even exists. The main weapon of the emperor.

"The First King"
