Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

After the busy general manager finished the meeting, he touched his rumbling belly and realized the problem.

Gawain wanted to refuse, but when he thought about how Sylphy would not be able to find anything to eat in the desolate Feitoya Territory, he said, "Okay."

He packed a bunch of dishes that Sylphy would like from the cafeteria and went straight back to Fitoya Territory to find Sylphy.

The two had a simple lunch at the original site of Roya and discussed the next work sequence.

After dinner, Gawain and Sylphy built a large number of single-room bungalows of the same style on the original site of Roya and simply planned the roads. Although it would be difficult for refugees to return in a short period of time, at least they could serve as landing coordinates.

After finishing all this, Gawain packed up most of the gold coins, said goodbye to Sylphy, and returned to the royal capital of Ars.

At the entrance of the new headquarters of the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce.

The director was standing next to a gorgeous carriage, pacing back and forth anxiously.

Gawain came in front of her holding a huge iron box:

"Is there a problem?"

The director took a breath, handed over a letter without wax, and then explained:

"Boss, the king has summoned you. The ministers and the heads of the capital's major noble families are already in the palace for a meeting. This carriage is here to pick you up."

Gawain nodded casually and placed the heavy iron box on the ground in front of him, even pressing large cracks and dents into the bluestone tiles.

"Use the money inside and remember to compensate the municipality for the damage."

He glanced at the court official standing beside him, who seemed to be sweating a little because of the strength he showed, which was inconsistent with the intelligence.

"Come on, take me to... meet your king."

Chapter 6 Meeting the King

The spacious and gorgeous platinum carriage slowly moved forward.

Gao Wen looked out the window calmly.

A piece of letter paper was burning in his hand.

This was his first time entering the legendary Silver Palace, the most magnificent palace complex in the entire human world.

To be honest, Gawain didn't really care what the King of Asura thought. Although he was the king of the most powerful country in the world, his influence was at best limited to the Central Continent, a corner of the world.

Not to mention that it was just influence, and it did not mean that other countries in the Central Continent would obey whatever King Asura said.

It is better to rely on the Adventurer's Guild than on the king.

Gawain and Sylphy's idea was simple: to issue commissions to all adventurer guilds around the world as quickly as possible and to form escort teams to receive refugees.

All other actions are just to serve this sentence. For example, if the king of Asura is willing to endorse the rescue operation, it will be more intimidating to print a royal seal on each commission.

Gao Wen didn't even care much about the funding issue.

He only needs to hold on in the initial stage temporarily. Later, he will go underground to find a liquid gold vein, dig it out, and then use his hands to make a machine to print gold coins of various countries on the spot.

The rescue should have ended before the collapse of the gold standard.

"Mr. Gawain, we're here."

The palace eunuch in charge of welcoming guests opened the car door for Gawain, and Gawain got out of the car casually. Seeing Gawain's casual attire, the other party seemed to be hesitant to speak, but in the end, he just bowed and said:

"Please come with me."

Gawain followed the eunuch calmly, his mind still thinking about matters related to the rescue, and he didn't even bother to look at the place that Sylphy had talked to him about several times, saying that she would definitely like to visit if she had the chance.

White palace.

Silver Palace.

In fact, it was a style that Gawain would like, gold and white, with tall and sharp buildings, which reminded him of his home planet that he had never seen. Of course, his favorite was actually the White Palace in Mirision, the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Miris.

The two walked into the main hall, crossed the long and spacious corridor, and saw two rows of knights wearing gorgeous golden armor and holding spears pushing open the huge platinum door.

What caught Gawain's eye was not a noble place.

Instead, in the noisy and gorgeous audience that resembled a vegetable market, a large number of nobles in elegant attire were arranged in order on the left and right, leaving a wide red carpet in the middle. From this, one could see at a glance the old king sitting on the golden throne, the two male and one female heirs accompanying him, and a row of guardians in different attire.

Gao Wen couldn't help but frown. Quarrels represented inefficiency.

The palace eunuch led him to the foot of the throne. The noisy nobles in the rows on both sides quieted down the moment they noticed Gawain, and then there were more whispers and laughter.

"...Gawain Vitrudia...The Chamber of Commerce...Eliminated..."

"...costume?...harlequin..."

"...Fitoya...good thing...give me the invention..."

The palace eunuch and Gawain stopped together, bowed even deeper, and declared:

"Your Majesty, Gawain Vitrudia has arrived."

After saying this, the eunuch quickly withdrew, leaving only Gao Wen behind.

The old king, whose hair and beard were all white and who looked like he could only live for ten years at most, leaned forward slightly, his tone tinged with barely audible curiosity:

"Are you Gawain Vitrudia? The owner of the Vitrume Chamber of Commerce?"

Gawain sighed slightly.

He lowered his eyes, as if thinking about something.

Then Gawain folded his arms and asked calmly:

"So, after wasting so much time, did you come to any conclusion?"

The voice just fell.

James, who was standing in the front row on the left, immediately stood up and loudly dissuaded:

"Gawain! Do not be disrespectful to His Majesty!"

Gawain's body slowly floated up.

Amidst the nobles' suppressed exclamations and panicked retreat, Gawain, now higher than the king, lowered his gaze, the bloodshot in his eyes visible.

"James."

"What on earth have I done?"

"Or maybe you heard something."

"That's why you disrespect me so much."

"You won't even call me [Sir] anymore."

James, the person involved, did not dare to retreat. After all, the other ministers and superiors, including him, did not behave badly. He just maintained a calm tone:

"Gawain Vitrudia, private matters are private, but in front of the great King Asura, as a commoner and a member of the Asura Kingdom, you should show the most basic etiquette."

At this moment, the guardians standing behind the throne drew their weapons, or took offensive or defensive stances, stepped down the steps, and stood in front of the throne.

The sound of armor clashing could be heard from deep in the corridor.

The small doors on the left and right of the audience room were also opened, and groups of magicians came out with their staffs raised. In their left hands, they even held the magic spears produced by the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing that the palace's armaments were fully activated, James calmed down completely. In his opinion, Gawain, whose comprehensive strength should be able to reach the emperor level and whose war value may be close to the god level, is indeed an extremely powerful person. Coupled with his free flying magic, if he were in the outside world, perhaps even the divisions of the royal capital would be unable to do anything to him.

But this is the Silver Palace.

It was during the audience.

The silver-haired old lady standing right in front of the king was a god-like being, and was no match for a guy like Gawain.

As an acquaintance of Gawain, even though James had already announced his intention to cut ties with him in front of the king and the top management, he did not want Gawain to make the situation too ugly. After all, even if he was not held responsible, he would inevitably be criticized afterwards.

"Gawain, stop it. We all know that as a party involved and a victim, you are anxious, but hasn't His Majesty the King summoned all the important people in the kingdom to discuss this matter? If you don't cooperate, it will only slow down the rescue!"

Gawain loosened his arms.

Many people seemed to be reassured by this.

In the morning, James had already announced the strength of Gawain Vitrudia. If this extreme guy with imperial strength were to cause trouble, the bigwigs directly protected by the guardians would be safe, but the safety of the middle-level nobles and even the upper-level nobles would be difficult to guarantee.

But Gawain just snapped his fingers.

James immediately covered his neck, fell to his knees with a red face, and seemed to be suffocating.

The whole audience was shocked. All the nobles began to dodge backwards and simply took refuge by the wall. Even the originally calm ministers fled behind the guardians. The princess seemed to want to say something and walked towards the throne, but was stopped by a prince.

Members of the magician group swarmed in.

The knights from the rear also rushed in.

At this moment.

The old king sighed:

"Sir Gawain, we are all considering the interests of the kingdom and its people. Why resort to war?"

"Become the power of the kingdom!"

"I promise you that the disaster in Fitoya Territory will be resolved in the best possible way."

Hear this.

Gawain laughed heartily.

Chapter 7 Unstoppable

"I reject."

Gawain replied with a smile.

He recalled a conversation that had clearly taken place not long ago.

Sylphy, with a heavy heart but still desperately thinking about him and hoping that he would not be so uncomfortable and painful, said to him:

"Brother, just think of it as doing this for my own good?"

“Just go ahead and do it.”

Over the past few years, or even ten years, Gawain has been suppressing his influence as much as possible, whether for the sake of having enough time to develop himself, or to prevent Elinalize from being sad, or so that Sylphy and the others could live a peaceful and stable life.

In the Vitrum Empire, there has always been a system similar to long-term holidays. Fundamentally speaking, there are no rest days in the empire, but there is something similar. Simply put, it is to let only one warrior conquer a planet for a period of five hundred years. During this time, no matter what happens on the planet, the empire will not care, and it does not care whether it can gain new territory in the end.

In other words, it was a reward given by the empire to the warriors.

Thanks to many related records, Gawain knew very early on how to conquer a planet with life on his own, how to tame the intelligent races on it, and how to transform their civilization structure.

Correspondingly, Gawain naturally knew very well what he should do to avoid destroying a civilization as much as possible.

In the past, Gawain worked very hard to learn how to control "power" for himself and the people he cared about. He accepted his family's moral values ​​and maintained them as much as possible. He accepted the guidance of Sylphy, Rudy and Roxy, and tried his best to prevent his small creations from causing large-scale disasters.

Gawain felt that he had great respect for the [human world].

But the [human world] did not respect him.

He didn't want to harbor too much resentment towards the existence of the world itself, but were these scum in front of him worthy of his respect?

Obviously not.

Since Sylphy said so, I won't suppress myself. Maybe this will make it impossible for everyone to live like the past, but it is not difficult to order everyone in the world to follow the pace of the past.

Gawain pondered over a rescue plan after his liberation, but instantly realized that there was no need for it. With the level of civilization in the [Human World], even if he annihilated the entire Central Continent by himself, the residents of the adjacent Miris Continent across the strait would not be able to know that it was him, right?

So be it whatever.

Gawain pointed forward, and hundreds of tiny strands of magic energies snaked out like a swarm of snakes, crawling towards the magicians who had already lined up and began to chant in turns.

"Counterspell."

This is a technique that uses one's own magic power to interfere with and destroy the magic being constructed by others. In the past, Gawain could only use it based on his intuition, but after obtaining the Magic Eye, this technique officially became practical.

Each magic power is precisely entangled with the magic wand of a member of the magician group. Each of them is an elite senior magician, a chosen one among forty thousand. The leading senior magicians are saint-level and king-level magicians, powerful people with the ability to destroy cities and capture strongholds.

but.

"how is this possible?"

"The spell failed!"

"Use magic tools!"

It's meaningless. As long as the interference occurs, the magic power cannot form magic.
