Chapter 176: [Chapter 174] Boom!
I take a few deep breaths as I look at a few shadow knights by my side, "Prepare the meals."
The group of knights nod as they silently follow my order, swiftly preparing the meat from the animals I had hunted. During these 2 days, I also hunted animals and had prepared the peace treaty along with its clauses and laws.
As the knights cook their food, I sit down in a temporary chair and take a few deep breaths to calm myself. 'My temper is getting harder to control, I was able to stay in control this time but why am I so angry? I wasn't like this in my past life...' I try to think of anything that could come to mind but I can't think of anything.
'Anyway, I have to be more cautious or else I might do something I will regret.' After sitting out here for a few more minutes, I enter the room with a calm look on my face. The entire room falls silent as I enter, the knights with food behind me.
After seeing kurayami get angry like that, everyone is trying to stay quiet as not to anger him. They were already scared and that anger wasn't even directed towards them, so everyone is trying to avoid that anger being directed towards them.
I cough as I clear my throat, "Sorry about that, I have been stressed recently due to other matters. Let us begin the meeting."
Everyone in the room finds a seat at the table and as I approach, Ochil quietly asks, "Are you alright? That even scared me, and I am an S rank."
I nod silently as I remember that, 'So he is an S rank, no wonder the other kingdoms went after his daughter instead. They couldn't fight him directly.'
I walk past everyone as the food is being spread around, taking a seat at the opposite end of the table. Ochil sits at the other end as I fold my hands in front of me, gazing across everyone.
"As you all know, we are here to discuss an alliance with my kingdom. If anyone doesn't already know, I am the king of this kingdom that I have named Hana." I speak in a calm tone, causing some murmurs to spread across the room.
Everyone had already suspected that Kurayami was the king after what he declared in his speech against Jeniga, but this declaration only firmly locked his place as a leader of a nation.
"I will answer any questions people have, this is an alliance meeting so you should clearly have doubts about my beginning nation." I say as I gaze across everyone, waiting for any question. Everyone stays silent as they glance at eachother, the moment before still clearly etched into their minds.
After a minute, one of the nobles stand up, "How long do you think it will take to finish your kingdom? Usually the wall is finished last but you completed that first and then started building some...unique living spaces."
I nod at him, "These houses actually are more efficient in the fact that they don't rely on mana. I have used a plethora of machines like the ones you saw in my workshop to create the resources required to build them. This in turn can help us use the magic resources towards more important projects. We plan on having housing and the kingdom's layout completed within this year."
I hear a few shocked gasps as one slams his hands on the table, seemingly overcome by this shock, "Impossible! There has been no research on non-magical housing for decades yet you completely design a house that doesn't use magic?!"
I nod calmly, "Yes, the only problem is water which I will need water crystals for, but everything else is completely unmagical."
I hold out my hand while using absolute darkness, causing everyone's eyes to go wide. Even Liz looks at me with awe in her eyes, I inwardly smile as I keep a poker face. How couldn't one feel good when they are looked at with amazement.
I clear my throat as I continue speaking, "Even if my kingdom is just starting out, with my knowledge in technology and idea of a new society, I plan on reforming the living system in my kingdom. Any allies will be able to enjoy these benefits, but the only issue is experience in using the technology."
The nobles look between themselves as they talk to eachother in amazement.
Suddenly, a voice speaks up, "How can we be sure you are the one creating this stuff?" I look over as the conversations around the table quiet down, seeing a small black Dragonborn sitting very arrogantly.
I withhold my anger at his attitude as I ask, "What weapon would you like to see built? I can build it right here, right now." Apparently some still have doubt, but this kid must have a large ego to still be cocky after what happened.
The kid thinks for a moment and is about to say something when his father stands up, his head bowed. "I am sorry sir, my son rude attitude isn't overlooked and I will correct his attitude when we are private."
I wave my hand at him as I look back at the kid, my tone menacing, "What weapon?"
The kid is slightly taken aback as he responds, "A rifle."
Before anyone can say anything, I hold my hands out in front of me, 'Absolute Shadow.'
The shadows beneath the table jump to life as they slowly craw across the black table. People jump back from surprise while some watch the dark wave silently. As the darkness gathers in front of me, it begins to change shape as different colors form within.
'This kid wants to see a rifle, I'll show him a rifle.' The shadows split apart as the colored blobs harden into and form into pieces. As the shadows finish forming, my bite tattoo glows and a purple blob appears in my arms. I place him on the parts as I tell him, "Start building."
The drowsy slime bounces with life as he absorbs the parts, shuffling them within himself as he figures out the design immediately. After working with Kurayami for so long, Slime Winter has slowly figured out how this new technology functions.
The slime retracts from the purple and black rifle as he plops onto my head, falling asleep yet again. I place my hand on its smooth surface as I imagine a white soul entering its circular power source.
White veins crawl across the black and purple surface as it buzzes with life, metal rectangle hovering over the barrel. I pick it up as I walk over to the wall behind me, the shocked gazes following.
As I place my hand on a scanner in the corner, the wall silently splits opens to reveal a long window. I ready the rifle in my hands as I aim at the partially destroyed mountain in the distance. I place my hand on the lower trigger as I activate the scope, aiming the reticle at the center of the large mountainous range.
As I pull the second trigger, the metal bars begin to spark as they revolve quickly around the barrel, causing a light show as the white veins glow even brighter. As a bar in the scope turns red, I pull the trigger above it.
The gun kicks as a beam of bright white light launches from the barrel. As it soars threw the air, it collides with the mountain as a large explosion resounds and the ground begins to quake.
