The 9th king of the Gujak Kingdom, Flip Duneld Gujak, felt something unusual about the two men and women who suddenly fell from the sky.

First, the woman had silver hair that shined beautifully in the sunlight and red eyes. It was a combination of colors that could not be found even if you searched all over the continent, so it was full of a foreign feeling.

Her skin was so white and clean that it gave the illusion of a subtle glow, bringing her beauty to the peak, but those present did not have time to appreciate the woman’s appearance.

This was because the ferocious magic power that overwhelms her beautiful appearance was emanating from her body without any trace of it. Thanks to this, everyone in the royal castle was able to deduce her identity at once.

‘The mad dragon Arjen.’

The most powerful dragon among dragons, considered the most powerful creature in the world. He is the one responsible for destroying the largest granary in history located in the Eletrove area, and is a tyrant who indiscriminately slaughtered all living things within a radius of hundreds of kilometers of Lair until not long ago.

A man with black hair and eyes was the first to speak next to her, who was difficult to even make eye contact with. King Gujak, who had been momentarily paralyzed by intense fear, came to his senses thanks to the outcry he started.

“Hello. My name is Eugene.”

With a feeling as if his gaze was forcibly moved, King Gujak was able to escape Arjen’s magic and face Eugene.

“Nice to meet you. It’s called Flip Duneld Gujak.”

King Gujak showed respect to the man in front of him without even thinking about it. It was a situation where anyone could clearly see that it was ‘Arjen’s love doll’. According to King Seonjo’s memoirs, Arjen confirmed that everything done to this man was regarded as done to him, so he had no reason to assert the king’s authority.

Of course, regardless of that, King Gujak had to be polite to Eugene. This is because he was already recognized as a god of another world by the oracle of the Stella Church. No matter how different it is, God is God. Moreover, that god shared the same will with their main deity, Stella.

“Duneldra, it’s been a while since I heard that name.”

Sure enough, the story about the Duneld family came out of his mouth. King Gujak took his luck cautiously.

“The late king named it with the intention of engraving in the glory of the ancestors who led Eletrobe.”

At those words, Arjen’s pet doll smiled and nodded in satisfaction. King Gujak felt a sense of déjà vu as he looked at him.

‘…what?’

The man in front of me was clearly more comfortable than Arjen next to him. Comfort referred to here simply means less pressure felt when faced with something. Nevertheless, something that got on the nerves of the Gujak kingdom continued to bother him.

‘…Can’t you feel anything…?’

Surprisingly, he didn’t feel anything. He could feel the mana of the wind spirit that was wrapped around him, but he could not feel any of the magical power that he should have.

Originally, when Eugene signed a contract with Sirocco, he had to appear like a normal person with mana like everyone else, but King Gujak was as sensitive to magic as a wizard and was able to clearly distinguish between the two.

And he thought that this actually gave credibility to the idea that he was a god of another world. According to his common sense, a person who could not feel anything like that could not exist, at least as long as he was a living creature.

It was like looking at an inanimate doll. However, as I try to recognize that the man in front of me, who seemingly poses no threat, is a living being, a feeling of disharmony inevitably arises in my brain.

Since we are creatures of this world that live with Mana since birth, there is an inevitable feeling of disconnection. To add to that, it was fear.

‘Is that why you insisted on the nickname attachment doll?…’

What is an attachment doll? It means that it is a doll that the owner especially cherishes. It was also information that all adventurers living nearby knew that Arzen did not have separate familiars or monsters to manage rares, but instead used self-made automatons.

King Gujak withdrew his thoughts until the end of the war. To be honest, I couldn’t help but tilt my head at the idea that the author’s nickname, God, was Arjen’s favorite doll.

But when I actually met them in person, I realized why they had no choice but to say that. The king himself realized that the moment his mind realized that a being that should not exist was alive and breathing before his eyes, a great cosmic horror came upon him. It would have been 10,000 times more beneficial to one’s mental health to just dismiss it as a doll that Arjen had painstakingly created.

‘It’s a façade created to hide the glory of being a god.’

The price Eugene paid to show off his love for Arjen soon became a disguise used by the god of another world to hide his true identity.

“Hmm~♬”

King Gujak’s confidence was driven into a wedge by Arjen’s actions. She, who was originally not interested in human affairs, could not bear the boredom and buried her face in Eugene’s arms. Eugene skillfully took it again and stroked her head, and it was a jaw-dropping sight to see.

‘Treat Arjen like a child…!’

‘That crazy dragon is so calm!?’

It was a moment when credibility was gained in the story that the god of another world had calmed down the crazy dragon that had been rampaging for nearly 360 years.

“Oh, anyway, the reason I came was not that special.”

“Are you talking about food distribution?”

When King Gujak spoke first as if he knew everything, Eugene smiled awkwardly.

“You knew everything. As you know, I have decided to manage the old Eletrobe Farmland, which was restored with the help of Prinia, in consultation with Stella. I plan to use the land at a similar rate, if not exactly the same, as before this troublemaker overturned it.”

Eugene roughly explained the plot of the Green Land to King Gujak. The green space currently functioning as green land is 40,000 square kilometers, of which 10,000 square kilometers will be preserved as a residence and forest area for elves, and the remaining 30,000 square kilometers will be cultivated as rice fields for food production for humans. .

Considering the existing territory of Eletrobe, this was a bit lacking. The southern land of Eletrov, once called the continent’s largest granary, had over 100,000 square kilometers of agricultural land. King Gujak was concerned about that.

“Umm… I know it’s rude to say this, but I believe that Goddess Stella wants humanity to become more prosperous than before. However, I am concerned about how much food we can produce with farmland that has been reduced to less than one-third.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Although the area has been reduced by 30%, production per unit area will increase tenfold.”

“Yes? Is that really true?”

King Gujak asked in disbelief, but Eugene simply nodded in response.

“Anyway, as you might guess, there is no problem with food production, but it is your responsibility to distribute it to all mankind. Please develop a devastated area that has not yet become a green land and build a trade city. A prison facility large enough to distribute all the crops produced in the Green Land, not the elf territory, and to incarcerate all the death row inmates on the entire continent.”

“Yes? The facility where death row inmates are imprisoned…”

King Gujak stopped speaking. It was only later that I realized the true meaning of those words.

“As you know, there are people among us who have picky eaters.”

As Eugene said those words and patted Arjen, King Gujak guessed that all of the condemned prisoners would end up in Arjen’s mouth. A truth that we want to ignore but cannot. The truth was that the woman in front of him was a predator who preyed on people like him.

Of course, if you reject that offer, Eugene will not cancel the food supply. Because it is a treaty with Stella. However, in that case, Arjen will eat the people of the trading city for food. And it was confirmed from the moment Eugene arrived here that the trading city would be mostly populated by the people of the Gujak Kingdom.

In that case, the King of Gujak quickly came to the conclusion that it was better to sacrifice a condemned prisoner than an innocent citizen. The basis for this surprising judgment was the awareness that the ‘meal’ could be oneself. Not even a day has passed since the last toast of King Quichera was given.

“I was convinced. In fact, it will be a much more efficient method than before.”

In the past, Argen’s Lair was located between Eletrobe’s castle, farmland, and elf residence. Now, with Argen’s Lair, now a green land, centered, an elf residence was built in the southeast, and farmland was built in the remaining area. Beyond it, human settlements and the Guzak kingdom existed.

King Guzak nods his head at the thought that the food distribution route will be shortened and friction with the elves will no longer occur.
