I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

Chapter 24-1

In the game Territory War, the hero units were ranked from the lowest F to the highest SSS, a total of nine grades.

Is it really Wazir?

If the white-haired person was called Wazir Grand Duke, as Otto predicted, it meant that a hero unit of SSS rank had appeared.

No, it cant be.

The named hero unit was not something that could be obtained easily like picking up a stray cat.

Otto abandoned his expectations and slowly approached the man to speak.

Excuse me, sir. Is there a seat here?

Then, the white-haired man replied while puffing his pipe.

Theres no seat. Where could there be a seat for you or me in this small riverside? When you sit down, thats your own seat.

Thank you.

Otto sat down and looked at the white-haired man.

Is he really him? Or is not it? Im confused.

Feeling Ottos awkward gaze, the man was about to speak when.

By any chance Are Grand Duke Wazir von Basile?

Do you know me?

OMG?!

I didnt know there were young people who recognize me even in this rural area.

Uh, my apologies.

Otto almost fainted at the fact that the white-haired man was indeed Grand Duke Wazir.

[Wazir von Basile]

He was a legendary politician, and administrative bureaucrat, as well as a diplomat.

The title of Grand Duke he held was a very noble status that was recognized throughout the continent.

Based on his brilliant abilities in the past, he worked as a mercenary in several countries to prove his skills, and is also the teacher of the outstanding lords of this era.

After retiring completely from the front line ten years ago, he is now traveling around the continent and spending his old age.

Classification: Hero

Race: Human

Age: 77

Affiliation: None

Rank: SSS

Specialty: National Revival

Grand Duke Wazirs specialty, National Revival, was an SSS-class ability optimized for national administration, which all players coveted.

Therefore, gamers playing Territory War wanted to recruit Wazir Grand Duke by any means possible.

Just the existence of Grand Duke Wazir made the country run smoothly, so they didnt have to pay much attention to domestic affairs while playing the game.

Furthermore, with his immense connections and reputation as a foundation, his diplomatic abilities were outstanding. Just having Duke Wazir was enough to make diplomacy go smoothly.

Tactics 90 / Force 35 / Politics 90

Leadership 90 / Charm 90 / Dignity 99

Infamy 70 / Honor 99 / Domestic Affairs 99

Health 80 / Credibility 99 / Ability 99

Luck 50 / Diplomacy 99 / Administration 99

As a hero unit of SSS grade, Duke Wazirs abilities were also very good.

Wow, this is huge. Duke Wazir is coming out.

Ottos mind went blank when he hit the jackpot, but he held on to his sanity and spoke to Wazir.

It is an honor to meet you. I am

Thats enough.

Excuse me?

Why should I bother with knowing a name like a young man from the countryside?

.

It doesnt matter whos next to me, but dont make a lot of noise. The fish might run away.

. Okay.

Otto kept quiet and watched over Duke Wazir until he finished fishing

***

About 3 hours later.

Sigh. The fishing isnt going well today.

With frustration, Wazir got up from his spot, having only caught a few small fish, let alone a crucian carp.

Are you finished?

Otto spoke to Wazir eagerly.

Youre still here?

Yes?

I thought you had already left.

.

Youre the reason why the fish arent biting, arent you?

What does that have to do with me?

The fish heard you breathing and got scared away!

How is that my fault?

Isnt that so?

Of course, not

Thats what an adult would say! Young people talk too much these days! If an adult says something, you just say Yes!

Im sorry.

Ugh! You, young people have no respect these days!

After getting irritated with Otto, Wazir packed up his fishing gear and loaded it onto his horse.

Excuse me, Grand Duke? If its not too rude of me to ask

Of course, its rude, so shut up.

.

Its almost winter, but there are still flies around. Tsk tsk.

Otto almost snapped back at Wazir but held back.

Just endure it, endure it. He is valuable Hero Unit.

Theres no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

I have to hire him somehow.

He didnt want to miss out on a potential SSS grade hero just because he got on his nerves.

After all, wasnt Wazir a figure who deserved to be treated with respect, coddled?

I consider this meeting fate, so I would like to at least treat you to a meal.

How do you plan on treating me in this rural village? Cut the crap and get out of my sight right now.

Your Highness, please dont

Just then,

Greetings. Your Highness the Grand Duke.

Camille appeared and bowed to Wazir.

Hmm? Arent you Camille?

Surprisingly, Wazir and Camille were familiar with each others faces.

Camille had been invited as a special lecturer to a knight academy in a foreign country, and had attended Wazirs special lecture.

Oh, right. I forgot.

Otto recalled that fact, and silently watched the conversation between the two.

Why are you here in this rural village, Camille? This isnt a place where exceptional talents like you should be staying, is it?

Im just here to serve my lord.

Your lord?

This person here is my lord.

Camille pointed at Otto and answered Wazirs question.

That guy with the flashy face is your lord?

Yes, your highness.

Is he a noble?

His Majesty the King, your highness.

The king? This is a kingdom?

Yes, it is.

Camille turned his head slightly, as if feeling a bit embarrassed.

It was embarrassing to introduce this village-like neighborhood as a kingdom.

This jittery guy with the flashy exterior is the king?

Yes, Your highness.

Since when?

Since yesterday, we held an official coronation ceremony and declared the establishment of the kingdom

Hahaha!

Wazir burst out laughing.

Hahaha! This is hilarious! Hahaha! What a funny joke! Hahaha!

.

Its funny! Very funny! A tiny little village like this calling itself a kingdom! Hahaha!

Camille lowered his head deeply at Wazirs reaction and couldnt say anything.

Is it really true?

Yes, it is.

Ive seen it all in my life. But a rural place like this calling itself a kingdom.

Things just turned out that way

Its a kingdom of fools, isnt it? You can tell just by looking at that guy.

Otto trembled with anger, but once again he held his tongue.

Your Highness, since weve been fortunate enough to meet again, would you be willing to spend some time here and give me the honor of hosting you for dinner?

What use do you have for an old retirees time?

Its just my desire to serve Your Highness and offer you dinner. Knight Camille begs humbly requests Your Highnesss favor.

Camille knelt down on one knee before Wazir.

Um! If you say so, theres no reason why I cant make time for you!

Thank you for your grace.

By the way, how have you been?

I have been living faithfully as a knight, fulfilling my duties every day. How about your Highness? Have you been well?

What could go wrong for an old man like me? Hahaha! Since I retired, Ive been traveling around the continent, enjoying myself.

Waizir and Camille walked with each other, exchanging various conversations in a cheerful atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Otto

Ill just let those two be!

Jealous of Waizir and Camille, Otto strode forward with determination.

Ill show you! You old man!

Otto gritted his teeth as he looked at Wazirs back.
