News II
The news about the presence of the Players in Shinem Republic and Yaivalon Kingdom made his heart beat faster.
He's quite worried about the news regarding these people. After all, the two countries would be the stepping stones for the Player's rise in this continent.
They will serve as the warning to other nations that would trigger the great war between these foreign Players and the natives…
'Haa~ I should calm down… We're still in Gram Year 891… The Players would only show their fangs in year 895…'
Even though the Players possess vast knowledge about this world, they still have to spend some time to grow stronger.
Kaiden read the article about the Players as he wanted to know how they viewed them during these years.
The article started by introducing the Players to the public.
'These people that can fluently speak any language had referred themselves as "Players" and "blessed by the gods"…'
'We tried to learn more about their race and found out that they came from a continent that we haven't discovered yet! Finally, they are the living evidence that there weren't just three continents in this world! Aside from that, they also have an incredible technology that transported them to our continent...'
'They are planning to coexist with us and share their knowledge with our country to improve our living conditions…'
'They are truly amazing as unity and discipline can be seen among them...'
Kaiden read the article filled with praises to the Players.
He had to admit that the Player's strategic move to share their knowledge in various fields was truly helpful.
Kaiden remembered their various discoveries in agriculture, construction, and medicine… As a matter of fact, the medicine that he plans to give to his mother was discovered by these Players as well…
However, their kindness wouldn't come without a price.
This is an elaborate plan where they started to gain the trust of the citizens as they slowly snatch the power of those people seated in the government.
No one from the Republic or the Yaivalon Kingdom had discovered this until the Players managed to control some of the important cities and lands in the country.
It was already too late when they tried to take some preventive actions as the Players were already deeply rooted within their country.
A rebellion shortly occurred and the victor doesn't need to be said.
The citizen has sided with the Players as they were promised with wealth and prosperity… Even though the Players only numbered around 200,000, they managed to conquer a country with a population that reaches 20 million…
It was something that all the other nations would never believe if they just heard about it.
Sigh~
'There's nothing I can do about it… I'm just a seven-year-old boy without any influence right now… Even if I take the medallion with me and proclaim my legitimacy to the succession to the throne, I'll just be assassinated by the current Crown Prince's followers. Even my family would be in danger if that really happens...'
"Kaiden? What are you sighing about?"
It appears that his father heard his long sigh.
"Haha… Nothing… I just can't find the picture I want…"
The young boy said as he folded the newspaper. He planned to read the other news later.
He then took a bowl of soup that his father brought to fill his tummy.
During that night, he started his Mana Body Cultivation. Even if it was extremely slow due to the thin Mana in the surroundings, it was still better than nothing.
There was no time to waste. He needed to maximize all the available time that he has.
After all, the faster he got stronger, the more people he will save in the future…

On the next day, Kaiden decided to deal with his mother's weak body… He won't let her die this time after giving birth to Rian.
This is not something difficult if he has some money with him. However, since he doesn't have that much, he either has to earn money or just find and make the potion himself…
Unfortunately, the latter was a bit difficult with his current body. He might make several mistakes and waste the materials, so he decided to just earn some money for now and get a professional to concoct the potion according to his instructions…
Anyway, he did it a few times in his past life so he still knows how it's being done.
"Mother! I will be out for now. I'll be back before lunch…" Kaiden informed his mother after his father went out to work.
He has been thinking all night about how to earn some money. Of course, he wanted to utilize his knowledge about the future to make things easier... and after considering everything, he decided to visit the nearest Pharmacy…
He wore his best clothes and washed his body several times so he can avoid being called a thief or a beggar.
For now, his best option was to sell his knowledge about various medicines.
Luckily, he knows a very trustworthy pharmacist who helped his father before when his arm was amputated due to an accident.
He walked quite a bit farther from the slums and weapons trading area…
He arrived in a luxurious-looking street where beautiful carriages would come and go…
"Ahhh… My father might see me here… I need to hurry."
He quickly found an old Pharmacy that was being run by an old lady and her two daughters… He entered the shop and noticed that it only has a few customers.
He waited for them to leave before he approached the Pharmacist.
"How can I help you, young boy? Are you here for an errand?"
The old lady asked with a smile. She was only in her early fifties and her daughters were in their late twenties.
Kaiden returned the smile after listening to her soothing voice. It has been a long time since he heard her.
She's the only one who truly cared for him and his father as he recalled how she always gives him a discount for the medicine to treat his father's aching arm.
She had also given him advice about the medicinal herbs that can be found around the city…
"Ma'am Clementine… I would like to sell something…"
Kaiden said as he pulled out a paper from his pocket.
