Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Under the setting sun, the moment I stepped into the mansion, which looks totally different from before, I heard such an explosive statement that I started to suspect if I had walked into the wrong place.

“Let the world know my presence.”

“Let our descendants know my existence.”

“Even if I have to be cursed for thousands of years.”

“Please put your full faith in us. Please pass your beloved pets to us. We only treat pregnant pets. We have a hundred years of history, Beifeng Caring Beast Tamer Hospital is worth your trust.”

That is the slogan written on all of the flags around the mansion. It almost blinded my eyes.

Beifeng is currently arguing with someone while his blood brother, Casio, is currently carrying one of the flag and shouting. However, it is hard for one to look directly at the slogan on the flag he attached to his body.

I start to wonder that if old Minial were to see his own grandson being reduced to such a state, would he be happy that he won’t have to worry about there not being an internal war within his tribe or would he try to murder me.

“Big Brother Beifeng is so warm and peaceful, why do you all hate him? Could racial discrimination be that deeply affixed in society?”

Looking at that passionate shout and the tears he has in his eyes for his big brother who he thinks is being misunderstood, I think old Minial would probably try to kill me. If he isn’t sufficient to achieve this task, he might even pull his entire tribe into the fight.

On the other side...

“May the Heavens strike Beifeng.’ ‘Go and die gays.’ Alright, it’s fine if it is others holding the flag but for you 2 bastards who followed Krose here, do you all think you have the right to hold and wave that flag?

‘Praise the Law, The Great Court of Law and Church.’ That flag is stabbed into Krose’s giant staff and the frenzied lightning around it gave people no doubt about her determination to protect her faith.

“The minority should give in to the majority. I say that we build the Court of Law. If you aren’t pleased with the decision, come and fight!” Those words were from Momo and on her face is a fierce look that matches the words she spoke.

Alright, the flags of both side is hard for others to watch. The ones leading the faction is Krose and Momo, as well as the two calefares waving the flag and shouting by the side.

Ed: Calefare means unimportant side characters

Very soon, just as I was glad that I had managed to successfully escape the great clean up, I understood what has transpired here. In the end, as usual, I was the causal factor for the mess here.

Before I left, I had casually said:

“This is such a big mansion, it’s a waste to leave it as is. Our bedrooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Why don’t we use the 1st floor for something? If people walk in and out frequently, it can serve as a cover for us.”

Alright, after these idle people finished cleaning up, they began to discuss how to make use of the 1st floor as well as the space in the garden.

But as usual, the real debate only lasted for 5 minutes and the rest became a contention to realise their personal greed.

“It is better for us to make an animal hospital. We have Big Brother Beifeng, an experienced doctor here, as well as many beautiful nurses. We will definitely be able to make a fortune.”

Perhaps it is something Beifeng collected when he was still serving as a vet. Casio is currently displaying the nurse costume in his hands. Given the extremely short skirt and the black laces, it would definitely be extremely seductive if worn on the Elves. Not to mention the two whose gazes keep alternating between Krose and the nurse costume, they were starting to waver.

“Bastard, if people were to find out that I have worked in Beifeng’s hospital, then I won’t be able to get married in the future.”

However, Momo was still very resolute about it. She is currently working hard for her future.

“Hmph, you fierce granny, you think that you can get married in your current state? You think that no one knows about you secretly staring at Rolande sleeping? You lecherous wolf.”

“Ahh, at least I’m better than you. Can you still remain normal being together with Beifeng everyday? You want me to be a nurse? Fine, only if you wear it as well.”

“You... How can you say that. Our brotherhood is clean and pure! Fine, I will wear it. Do you think that I, the Golden Bow, am afraid of you? If I wear it, you have to approve of Big Brother Beifeng’s proposal? I really don’t know what you all are thinking about, such a good thing like making an animal hospital, why must you all stop him?”

At the end of his words, Casio really began to strip his armor to study how to put on the nurse costume.

The little fellow looks extremely handsome with a masculine tone to his face. His solid muscles weren’t exaggerated, but it had the aesthetics of a finely sculpted classical statue. However, if he were to put on a nurse costume... Let me go puke a bit first.

Alright, if I don’t stop him at this point, I won’t have to eat dinner later. Even khorium dog eyes will be blinded.

TL: Khorium -> World of Warcraft expensive ore. In China, there is a phrase called khorium dog eyes for people who are lucky enough to find this ore (The idea is that they have such powerful eyes that they are able to find khorium)

But fortunately, someone stopped him in advance.

“Brother, it is good that you have such intentions but don’t chastise them. History tells us that those who tread on new paths are always lonely and there will be a day when the apathetic world opens their eyes. We only have to try our best to express our sincerity and quietly wait. As for me...”

Beifeng’s hands clasp together as he smiles lightly like a Buddha. The light of a saint seems to vaguely shine behind him.

“The world slanders me, bullies me, insults me, mocks me, underestimates me, corrupts me, loathes me and scams me. How can I deal with that? I can only tolerate him, allow him, permit him, avoid him, condone him, respect him, ignore him and look at him after a few years. What can I do when everyone views me with enmity, I, love the world too much, too deep... AH!”

The final ‘ah’ is a scream of pain.

“Try acting profound, just try acting profound! You think we can’t tell that the fake sacred light is from your stun grenade? You still dare to copyright the Buddhist Scriptures from the East?”

“Cure your head, you are obviously doing it to satisfy your own desires! You still dare to talk about love, must love make one depressed? I will beat you up, you warrior of love.”

“Flying Shoe Strike, Sin-Splitting Strike, Evil Destroying Blow! Try my Demon-Subduing Fist!”

TL: (Po Xie Zhan (Throwing a shoe), Po Xie Zhan (Slashing him), Zhan Zui Ji (Probably some physical blow))

Alright, I also can’t resist hitting him personally as well. Looking at the treacherous smile on Beifeng’s face and that saintly look he portrayed while that nonsense came out of his mouth, I really can’t vent my frustrations if I don’t beat him up.

After that farce, the room got messed up once again by those flags with slogans on it despite just being cleaned up. I started to preach them.

“Look, how old are you all? Can’t you all be more steady? Look at Diana, she isn’t competing at all, how good is that?”

“Hmph, it’s because Big Sister doesn’t know which one to go for.”

“Un?”

Alright, in the hands of Diana, who blushed furiously red due to those words, I saw 2 flags.

“Recommend the construction of a Court on the first floor.”

“The Church of the Goddess of Moonlight, listen to the will of the true Gods.”

Seemingless embarrassed from my staring, the Gray Elf seems to be mumbling something. After stepping closer to her, then I realised...

“Church of Holy Light is the best!” Alright, this silly lass who is one beat slow seems to have finally made up her mind.

Hearing these, her face seems to be looking at me with expectation, seeming to hope that I, as a Holy Knight, would approve of her suggestion.

I can understand that as someone who has walked on the path of a Holy Knight for a few centuries, now you have sworn allegiance to the God of Law but at the same time, chose the road as a Savior, a Gray Elf, under the Lady of Moonlight, but is it really okay to believe in 3 true Gods at once?

Even if the Order Gods only have restrictions on people joining their Churches and don’t ban polytheism, but as a user of Divine Powers, can you show a little bit of restraint? Stepping into 3 boats at once, aren’t you afraid of retribution from the Gods?

However, looking at how the valiant female Legend Knight turns cowardly and worried when she talks about faith, I know that there is no point in me lecturing her about it. What outsiders say won’t help her at all, it all depends on her own decision in the end.

I should have known that the Gentlemen Alliance wouldn’t have any normal people. Even if they look normal on the outside, but there will be something wrong on the inside. Even if they are originally normal, they will turn into a pervert after staying too long inside (Looks at Casio sympathetically). Probably, only Clint, who isn’t here, is a little bit better.

“Wait, this isn’t right. We have 1 person missing here. Where’s Clint?”

How can I not be worried when there is one person missing, especially when the person missing is Clint, who is the most dangerous of them all!

“He disappeared the moment we started chatting. Perhaps...”

“KACHA!” “BOOM!” Following the sounds of explosions and walls being blown apart, thick smoke starts to drift upwards. I stare speechlessly at the blue sky, once again affirming my decision to look for a normal teammates tomorrow.

“He probably...”

“You don’t have to speak anymore, I understand. Next time, remember to put a leash on him and look after him properly. Tell him I said that.”

Alright, there is no need for her to elaborate any further, I can already understand the thought process of that Eccentric King. Clean up finished -> The preparation of the fort completed -> Activate alarm system -> Set up a lot of traps and explosives -> Safety comes first -> Sleep peacefully at night.

“Safety comes first! You all don’t have to be too thankful to me.”

The next moment, that king appears from some corner and sends us a thumbs up proudly. Although I couldn’t see his face below the helmet, I could feel that he was laughing gleefully below his helmet.

“I’ll be back.” Somehow, looking at the icy cold metal giant showing a thumbs up, I remembered the famous phrase of a robot in a foreign world. Now, I am starting to get curious of what Clint looks like below his metal facade. Could he really be a iron core-controlled magic metal puppet, that’s why he is so enlightened?

“Sigh, forget it, it isn’t worth getting angry with him. It isn’t the first time anyway.”

Some people are destined to remain stubborn their entire life. Clint, who doesn’t listen to teachings, is a prime example. There really isn’t a point getting mad at him.

Looking at plumes of black smoke rising outside the window, considering how my blood pressure is getting significantly higher despite being young, although I was so angry that veins were popping on my entire face, I hold my chest and quietly count one two three, trying my best to stabilise my rampaging emotions and blood pressure.

“Try to think positively. Since it has already exploded, just let it be. The old must go to let way for the new. It is also good for us to set up new defensive mechanisms. Wait, what did he explode?”

We just moved in here and we didn’t have any customers yet, so who was it that just triggered the bomb that was just put in place?

“The... The dinner I just ordered. Food and daily necessities!! I secretly bought some classic treasure magazines and posters. Clint, you idiot! My exclusive collection, that was really expensive.”

Rushing out, as expected, it is the dinner and daily necessities I ordered after claiming my reward money. The carriage which is responsible for sending the goods has already been sent flying to the skies. The stableman and porter are still trembling there in fear. But, those expensive goods of mine have turned into charred waste.

“AHHHHHHHHH. I can’t take it anymore. Don’t run, let me kill you all and find new teammates! I will make sure to change them to some normal people this time.”

Alright, looking at the few remaining charred pages of the treasures that I got with much difficulty at the black market, the final strand of my rationality snaps. I didn’t even get the chance to look at it before it was ruined. This isn’t the time for me to be considering about my blood pressure, eat my great Sin-Splitting Strike!

“My dad and mum in heaven, I finally understand what it feels like to see your home wrecked after a hard day at work. I estimate that it is probably the same as what I am going through now. I regret, I have sinned, but can you not use these grown rascals to torture me? Can’t you give me some normal people? If this goes on, I might explode from my high blood pressure before even reaching 20.

This was what that was written in a certain someone’s diary that night. However, as facts have proven, weirdos will always attract weirdos and lifeforms like perverts are contagious. My biggest mistake was naming this band ‘Gentlemen Alliance’ and this was only the beginning.

———

It is a quaint palace. There isn’t colorful paint on the walls, there isn’t any luxurious mat on the floor and even decorations like flower vases are lacking. Yet, it is the living quarters of the one holding supreme authority in the entire Auland Empire.

“Extravagance is just an appearance one shows to outsiders. Shove those messy things to one corner, they will only make my eyes hurt.”

When the court officials persuaded Darsos to follow the tradition of the previous Emperors, rebuild the palace before his inauguration, the young Emperor threw those words at them. Ignoring the persuasion of everyone else, he moved to the unused palace of the Emperor 2 generations ago.

“Women? I’m not interested. I might be interested in other people’s women though, and even more so if it is other people’s land.”

The future King of Winter Wolves never tried to hide him ambitions and it’s exactly because of his ability to turn his desires and ambitions into reality that allowed him to overcome the other 7 sons of the previous Emperor, allowing him to be successfully crowned.

War? There would definitely be one within 5 years of Darsos’s inauguration. This is the common agreement among all of the foreign diplomats and state strategists.

If it is a small country, everyone would have made a move when a war maniac were to rise to the throne. However, within the past 300 years, the Auland Empire has already accumulated enough underlying strength while the countries that border them aren’t strong enough. From the peasants to the landlords, they all hope to receive an opportunity to reshuffle the cards and rise through the ranks. Under such circumstances, along with his promise of war, the inaugurating Darsos’s popularity to soared to a fearsome level.

Reyne and Kelly’s speculations weren’t wrong. Darsos is using strength to put others under his control. If you surrender to me, then kneel completely beneath me. If you refuse, then you are simply giving me a reason to beat you until you surrender.

But there’s one thing they were wrong about. Darsos’s ambitions are greater than they expected. How can just one subordinate state fulfill his greed?

“Should I send the orders? The selection ceremony for the Guardian Knight of the Princess Knight.”

Just as recorded in the history, the King of Winter Wolves is a rare handsome figure. A high nasal bridge on his masculine square face. His flowing black hair reaches all the way to his waist and yet, it didn’t give him the feeling of being a sissy. Perhaps, it is because of that eagle eyes which always had an aggressive gaze in them under those crescent eyebrows that made others unable to ignore his presence.

而此刻，若岚之国的臣民听到他的话，绝对会和他拼命。

At this moment, if the citizens of the Mist Country were to hear his words, they would definitely try to kill him even at the risk of their lives.

“All preparations are ready. 2 Legends, 4 Gold-rank and 10 Silver-rank, our Auland Empire is overflowing with talented youths. Look at how much face we are giving her, we are giving such a good deal to that countryside Princess.”

“Hah, don’t underestimate the Mist Bloodline. If it wasn’t for the few wars with them that destroyed so many powerful Empires, it would be impossible for our Auland Empire to rise up. Even a dying camel is bigger than a horse. I am quite interested in the secrets of the royalty. It is said that the Aurora Knights are the rarely seen human tier-4 (Gold-rank) soldier. Even if just the slightest trace of it is remaining, it can definitely raise the military capabilities of our royal guards significantly.

Yes, from the very start, what the Auland Empire wanted wasn’t a subordinate state. They wanted to annex the East Mist Communal Country.

Guardian Knight? In Eich Continent, there is another name for the Guardian Knight of female nobles — secret lover. Of course, it often refers to the personal choice of the lady which due to several reasons is unable to marry. But apparently, Darsos has decided to do it forcefully without any consideration for Reyne’s opinion.

There is only a female remaining in the Mist Royalty. If her husband is an Auland man, then the next generation king would have half the bloodline of Auland. Naturally, this would be equivalent to devouring this little country.

If she refuses to choose a Guardian Knight? This would mean insulting the supreme authority of Auland Empire. Un, it is a move to force you to rebel.

Reject the alliance? Launch a war and annex them.

Reject the Guardian Knight? Launch a war and annex them.

Reject the alliance and Guardian Knight? Directly annex them.

Against this powerful and shameless Auland Empire who is obviously picking on the weak, there is nothing much that the East Mist Communal Country can do.

In this shabby palace, on the gigantic map hung on the wall, the East Mist Communal Country and 4 other countries in its surroundings had flags of multiple colors stabbed in them. This represents important strategic locations for war.

The newly crowned King of Winter Wolves has already set his eyes of a predator on the small countries of the alliance and out of them all, the one he is most satisfied with is the East Mist Communal Country in the South.

As long as he were to take it down, there would be no one their match in the Southern lands. They would have free access all the way to the borders with the Beastmen. Through expansion, gaining new territory, the Auland Empire will rise to greater heights.

With a stable back, countless precious mines of the Southern Highlands and great profits from the trades by the borders, it would form the stepping stone for the great battle plan of the Auland Empire to conquer the entire continent.

After his subordinate left, the young King of Winter Wolves shut his eyes in deep thought. Just then, his connection with a someone in the shadows had been forged.

“Caw, well-done, as expected of Claude’s son. Looks like choosing you to be inaugurated is the right decision. Our cooperation will bring us to greater heights.”

“Hah, filthy crows. I don’t care why you all are still obsessed with that bloodline. But, as long as you all are able to prove your worth, I won’t be stingy with my rewards as an Emperor.”

“Then, let me first thank your majesty in advance. As long as you can totally rid the Mist Bloodline, we, the Celestial Tower are willing to pledge our allegiance to you. Please anticipate our performance.”

On top of the palace, the pitch black crows dive into the skies and disappears into the gray clouds.

“Heh, allegiance? A bunch of souls that should have been long dead. The remainders that Lord Yongye left behind still dare to talk to me about allegiance? However, a dog that bites is still a good dog, isn’t that so? Claude.”

The young King of Winter Wolves said these words to the frame of his bed and below it, there is a cell in which a haggard-looking old man is trapped within.

“Unfilial son, kill me. I will never tell you the final secret of the Auland Empire. You will always be an incomplete Emperor!”

But, it is a pity that based on the design of the cell, sound above could travel downwards but the sound from the bottom is unable to reach the surface. The screams of the old man could only echo helplessly in the underground chamber.

Celestial Tower (占星塔) -> The 2 words in front means making prophecies from astrology while the last one means tower (Ed:duh TL:Tsk) Think of the typical xianxia where some old guy looks at the star and suddenly a shooting star passes by and he comments that the end of the world is coming.
