chapter 33
Karak just puffed out his chest proudly and held it out to me. It was like a small pebble, but I watched it quietly.
-You used the Observation skill.
Item: Random skill stone.
It is an item found with a very rare probability in the body of a Minotaur. When consumed, random skills can be obtained.
He’s a skill stone. That’s what the novel says. Looking at the description, I could see that I was a very lucky guy when I saw that it appeared with a very rare probability. I think it’s something Karak would be proud of. But suddenly, an idea came to my mind.
“Karak.”
Crook?
“Have you ever eaten this before?”
Crook crook!
They say no.
“But how do you know?”
From here, Karak’s body language hopes to shine. So what this guy wants to say is that the centipede chief takes all of these things. In other words, the person in power monopolizes all of this. In this way, the power of the powerful will become stronger, and as they become stronger, the power will be solid. Perhaps it was natural in a society dominated by powers like the Orcs.
And probably the guy who gets it gets a lot of compliments. That’s probably why Karak discovered this and is proud of me like this.
“Well done. today is meat You go get three chickens you want to eat and eat them. Dan, do you see the big guys over there called Bran Chicken? You can’t catch them. Okay?”
Nod.
Karak nodded excitedly and went to the chicken farm while salivating. I’ll take care of it and eat three of them.
Meanwhile, I took a good look at the Minotaur’s appendages. The first thing that caught my eye was the tail and horns. Last time I just threw away the antlers. But when I thought about it, it came to my mind that the Gakgung I had was a fake.
Gakgung was made the base of the shape and the system recognized it as Gakgung, but the most important thing in actually making Gakgung is the horn of the water buffalo. There is even a record of a person who was wary of Gakgung in Joseon in the past and deliberately placed restrictions on export of buffalo horns or adjusted the quantity.
Anyway, the story is that with these horns, you can make a perfect Gakgung.
“For now, I’m going to process these horns well, and there’s another tail left.”
I don’t know what the Minotaur had, but these guys seemed to be very closely related to the random skill. If you eat this tail gomtang, a random skill is created. Of course, only the first one.
First of all, my family has already finished creating skills, and only Sunwoo is left. This guy made me enter the gate one day, and only went to Karak No. 2… If so, you must feed them. This tail was suitable for eating as gomtang. Then Karak came to mind. Will Karak get a skill?
Hoya and Baekya also developed skills at the time. Then maybe there will be Karak? But Karak still doesn’t see the status window. Considering whether orcs can be tamed, it can be said that it is. In fact, Karak is fully following my orders now.
However, I think taming is like targeting an animal. So, is Karak an animal? Should Karak, which should be regarded as a sub-species, be classified as an animal? When I think about that, Karak brings three chickens that he has allowed for his share, and is about to test them on me. I told you to eat whatever you want.
“You eat.”
Then Karak bowed down to me. It was then.
-Will you accept the orc karak?
accept? That was a bit odd. Once I said I would do it. Then the alarm pops up again.
-Congratulations. When the conditions are met, you will be transferred to a lord.
Charisma stat is created.
“OMG.”
Until now, there was no job in my status bar. Looking at Seonwoo’s status window, Seonwoo had a job called ‘archer’. However, the job itself was not visible in my status window. I was thinking that it would be created only when certain conditions were met, but I didn’t know that I would become a lord.
It’s been a while since I thought I should check my status window.
[Choi Si-woo (Level 26)]
Pet: Hoya.
Domesticated Animals: Midnight Sun, Kkamangi.
Occupation: Lord.
Combat Class: None
HP: 400 MP: 500

It was a very fancy status window. Things that can be said to be the result of everything I’ve done at the gate. Now, there are also things called domesticated animals, and a while ago, as the crawfish was completely tamed by me, the white night and the crawfish were registered as domesticated animals. And the fun part. The job is lord, but the combat job is empty. In other words, it becomes a story that you can also get a combat job.
“By the way, if I’m a lord, can I see information about the territory?”
As soon as I focused on the idea of looking at the territory information, a notification popped up again.
[Territory Name: Nothing]
Size: Small.
Young Jimin: 1. 3 reserve Young Jimin.
Territory Buff: Increased production and production speed.
It is a small manor located on an island. The lord is very diligent, and the loyalty of the lord is high. The production of reishi is gradually increasing.
* As the development of the territory goes up, you will receive various benefits.
It was a concise explanation. First of all, it bothered me that Yeongji didn’t have a name. So I thought of the name Youngji.
“Hoya, how about the Hoya estate named after you?”
Nyan?
“Are you crazy? Is the naming sense a true story? sorry. It’s a bit like that I think. Then how about ‘Shiho Yeongji’ by taking each Korean letter from my name and yours?”
Nyaang.
This time Hoya nodded. It looks fine to me.
“The name of Yeongji is changed to Shiho Yeongji.”
The information was then updated.
[Siho Yeongji]
Size: Small.
Young Jimin: 1. 3 reserve Young Jimin.
Perhaps those 3 prospective territories are our family. Because I gave you permission to enter the gate. Because Seonwoo had not yet been granted access, it seemed that Seonwoo did not belong to the reserve territory.
“Yeongjura… I liked lands a little, but I never thought I would become a lord.”
Not a bad feeling. Exactly, it feels good. Because the system recognizes this land as my territory. There is also a Ginger Buff. There is a reason why the things I cultivate here grow quickly and in large quantities.
“Yes, I am a lord. Whoops.”
Nyaang. puck!
Hoya slaps me on the back of the head.
“hey!”
Nyan Nyang!
“Calm down? okay. Shouldn’t you come to your senses?”
Nyan Nyang! Nyan Nyang Nyang!
“What? If you become a lord, you have to protect the lord? Protecting the territory means that someone will come in?”
Contrary to Hoya’s words to protect the territory, isn’t it a story that someone might attack the territory?
Nyan!
It does. suddenly feel anxious If a lord loses a fief, he is not a lord. Then what am I going to be? Could it be that the gate is lost?
Hoya said there was something targeting the owner of the gate. I didn’t worry too much about the safety of my family, I just said that I was in danger. So, isn’t it a story that there is something trying to steal this territory?
It is a story that there may be a Youngji War. So, how do you win the Battle of the Territory? Either destroy the opponent’s territory, or subdue the opponent’s lord.
I think that’s what Hoya was worried about.
“Then should I level up more?”
Nyan!
Of course.
“First of all, let’s make the weapon properly. And Karak needs to be armed too. Because he is now my landlord.”
As I looked at Karak, Karak’s status window came to mind.
[Karak (Level 15)]
Affiliation: Siho Youngji.
Race: Gray Orc.
Position: Worker.
Occupation: Warrior.
Loyalty: 100 (MAX).
Strength: 35, Dexterity: 20, Intelligence: 10, Spirit: 20, Stamina: 30, Notice: 16.
Skill: Hertian Beginner Swordsmanship (Active) Level 2. Slaughter (active) level 5, tanning (active) level 4, farming (active) level 4, cooking (active) level 3.
“What kind of warrior has more skills for doing chores than fighting skills?”
Fortunately, Karak had a max loyalty of 100. Basically, since he was so loyal to me, the orc’s face looked cute. What was unexpected was that his job was a warrior, but his skills were very specialized for chores. From my point of view, it is a case of picking up a worker very well.
“Karak, eat that, and tan some Minotaur skins.”
Cuckold!
Karak threw out the chicken and went straight to work. But I’m not such a bad employer.
“Hey, eat and eat.”
Kuruk?
“Because I’m not in a hurry to eat first and then do it.”
At my words, Karak bowed with tears in his eyes. What kind of life has he been living? I patted Karak on the shoulder and pointed to the hanging pot. Then the guy smiles and runs towards it.
Surprisingly, it seems that Orcs also have a culture of cooking and eating. Seeing what Karak said while pointing to the field, I thought he was asking me if I could eat the vegetables, so I nodded.
To be honest, if you ask me if I want to eat orc food, I will say no. But I knew it was a prejudice.
Karak unexpectedly washed his hands thoroughly before cooking and prepared. I thought that if I told him to kill three chickens, he would just kill them and chew them up, but that’s really surprising. The guy who finished preparing like that makes food.
I looked at that guy and looked at the two axes left by the Minotaur. If it’s a sword, you can buy it from outside. However, what can be obtained is probably only a real sword called a Japanese sword. Buying something like a longsword or broadsword from overseas would have many obstacles.
If so, there is only one way left.
“You can try making it yourself.”
Build a smithy, learn blacksmith work. It boasts a different level of difficulty from woodworking or leatherworking. First of all, the preparation process itself is extremely necessary. But I decided to try.
After all, it is a place where I should be able to be self-sufficient. There was nothing special about the ax even when he looked at it through observation. However, one thing was different.
‘It’s an ax made of iron from the island.’ This meant that iron was coming from this island.
“Ah, I should try the skill stone.”
As I remembered, I immediately put the skill stone in my mouth. It was not difficult to swallow as it was about the size of a woohwang cheongsim pill. And I realized I’m a really lucky guy.
