Hikaru nodded, he felt that perhaps what the sages had speculated was wrong.
If that cave really had a lot of resources, then the Sanctuary would definitely not leave it alone.
Just like on Earth, where there is oil, there will be war and political and economic turmoil.
However, Hikaru also had an additional piece of information that this world was very large, and that it was at least 10 times larger than the earth. As such, the untapped resources in this world were also numerous.
Wait!
It seems… he just realized something terrible.
"Rika, if I focus on exploiting all of this world's exploitable resources, then I am the villain the World Will wants to destroy, right?"
[It seems… you guessed right.]
Hikaru took a deep breath. It seems that the Will of the World had foreseen what was about to happen.
He was indeed a villain, as he was eroding the resources of this world.
[Master, don't worry. When it comes to mining, there are more brutal resource miners in this world than you.]
"Heh?! Selvih?"
[No! Selvih is just over 3,000 years old, she has only ruled the Dark-Elf kingdom for 2,500 years, her kingdom isn't too big, and it doesn't consume too many resources.]
"So… who are they?"
[First, it's Tsuraguki.]
"Heh?!"
[Tsuraguki ruled the Blood Rabbit clan for over 10,000 years. However, during that time, because of the war with other races on Bloodmoon and races from space, she had almost exhausted the resources on Blood-moon.]
[Secondly, it's Vuni and her family.]
"Vuni?!"
[That's right. The dragon race has a habit of hoarding precious things and they have an extremely greedy nature. They have taken almost all the resources of the world they live in.]
[The third person is Narita.]
"Narita? He's a noble, perhaps it's normal to over-exploit resources."
[Hm… almost the same.]
Rika didn't speak, however, her voice was filled with mystery which made Hikaru find it a bit difficult to understand.
"So… what do you think I should do?" Hikaru ignored her expression, he asked.
[Master, you can just mine as usual. After all, there are still plenty of resources in this world. Even, compared to you, the exploitation of the players in other worlds is much more terrible.]
Hikaru sighed, that would be related to the recycling issue. But the problem of resource reuse was an extremely difficult problem, even the scientists on Earth cannot completely solve this problem.
Wait! This is a Fantasy world, isn't it…
"Rika, in this place, is there any other magic besides purification magic?"
[There is another kind of magic, you are also the one who possesses that kind of magic.]
"I?!"
[That's right, that's the Void Create. Think about it, what if you sacrificed all the garbage of the territory, and then received the raw materials?]
Hikaru: "..."
This method was so practical and amazing but didn't he have to become an environmental worker?
"Ah! I can use Runes." Hikaru was instantly overjoyed, it seems… he didn't need to be in the dump every day to work.
He began to warn Anno about the matter, then inquired about the locations of other resources.
…
Elsewhere, Rafod sat on a sofa made from the skin of some kind of mist monster,the fur was extremely soft, next to him were four girls without any clothes.
They were using their tongues to satisfy Rafos, of course, he was also enjoying the 'service' of those girls.
Rafos felt great about sex. Even though he had been immersed in lust for a long time, he still did not feel bored.
On the contrary, it seemed that he could not do without having sex everyday.
Right now, he felt like he was in heaven, a far cry from his previous life in the cave, no, to be more precise, it was the training ground.
However, Rafos did not want to leave this life. Now, he had everything he wanted.
Women.
Power.
Food.
Even fame, he was like a prince rather than an assassin only nicknamed 'number 3'.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Hm?! Is it you, Sharole?"
"That's right."
"Come in!"
Sharole entered, and seeing the scene in front of her did not feel strange.
It seems that since the second time Sharole brought the girls here, Rafos no longer felt shy when others people saw him making love.
"What 's up?" Rafos said as he leaned back on the sofa, his expression filled with enjoyment.
"Ah! I came to see how the girls I brought here before are doing."
Rafos nodded at that, he pointed to the room on the left and said: "I don't use them anymore, you can take them back."
Sharole went there, opened the door. Behind the door were 3 girls lying on the ground, their state of being was uncertain, but their bodies were full of wounds, some of them were so deep that their bones could be seen.
"Haizz, you are so wasteful, I could have used them as a reward for others."
"I'm tired of playing, any women I've played with, no one else can touch them." Rafos said, his words filled with authority as if he were the master of this place.
"Haizz, okay, it's up to you."
"So… I think you didn't come here today just to say those words, right?"
"That's right." Sharole nodded: "I have come to inform you that the Pope of Saric Sanctuary has agreed to assist us in our assault on the Void Lord's domain."
"What?!" This Startled Rafos so much he sat up immediately: "ACK!"
Suddenly, he cried out in pain. A girl who was sucking on his 'thing' accidentally let her teeth brush against it causing him pain.
"Bastard! What the hell are you doing?" Rafos shouted angrily.
The girl was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, and hastily explained: "Master, sorry, I… you suddenly sat up at that time, so..."
BAM!
Rafos didn't let the girl finish, as he punched her in the face.
The punch was so strong that her head was shattered, her brain and blood splattered all over the floor.
The remaining 3 girls were so scared, they were shaking violently.
"Huh! Clean up this place, or else…"
Hearing Rafos's words, the three frightened girls immediately looked for tools to clean up.
"Wait! What the hell are you doing?" Rafos frowned and asked.
"I…we are looking for tools to clean up."
"Huh! I said… you guys clean up all this trash… with your mouths."
"Master… you…"
"You mean… we… should use our mouths to… clean up?"
Rafos smiled scornfully: "Yes. Ah! Let me be precise, that is eating all this garbage."
Rafos said as he pointed to the headless body of the girl now: "Eat it all, eat it all, or else... your end will be the same."
The three girls were so scared that they cried, and some even shivered and urinated on the floor.
"Damn it! You've got my floor dirty!"
BAM!
Rafos threw another punch, this punch pierced the girl's stomach, and her organs scattered on the floor, her blood mixed with the urine below gave off an unpleasant smell.
"Ah! More food, congratulations." Rafos laughed and said, "Don't you want more food? There's food in front of you, eat it!"
"Master… I…"
"We cannot eat our own kind… master… beg of you."
Rafos crossed his arms and shook his head: "No! I remember that you also have families, right?"
The two living girls heard that and took a deep breath, tears streaming down their faces.
When Rafos said that, they knew what they would end up doing by disobeying his orders.
Not only them but their families will also have the same end.
At this moment, they tried to suppress their nausea,as they approached the body of the headless girl.
They picked up a piece of white brain matter mixed with red blood, and put it in their mouth.
"UE!"
Both of them immediately vomited, their faces pale as if they were anemic.
"Huh! Useless!" As soon as Rafos finished speaking, the two girls' heads also fell from their necks.
On the floor, four corpses were scattered, but that did not make Rafos feel disgusted.
On the contrary, he felt extremely happy because he was sensing that he possessed a kind of power called Royalty.
Yes, he e a member of the Royal Family, he had everything he wanted, so he could do anything he likes.
He liked this feeling.
The feeling of being able to command others, holding other people's lives in their hands.
The feeling of euphoria when others had to beg him.
"Haizzz, Sharole, my room is dirty."
Sharole didn't feel surprised at all, after all, in the royal family, he had seen many similar scenarios.
It's just… he felt that his efforts were wasted. Yes, the girls that Rafos had just killed were newcomers, he intended to let Rafos use them and then give them to his subordinates.
Now all of them were dead while Rafos had only used it for about 2 days.
"You're wasting more and more." Sharole sighed and said.
Rafos shrugged: "Don't worry, after capturing the Void Lord's domain, you can have as many women as you want."
Sharole heard that, laughed and said, "That's right. Now, even if the Pope supports us, the odds of us failing are zero."
"But… I find this a bit strange."
"Hm?! What do you mean?" Rafos frowned and asked.
"I mean… The Pope has never meddled in this sort of thing, to be more precise, the Saric Sanctuary doesn't meddle in wars between kingdoms."
"But this time is different, it is the Pope who took the initiative to make the decision to support you."
"Rafos, congratulations, perhaps the Pope has noticed you."
Rafos smiled at that: "Hahaha…maybe that's how it is."
"It seems… my talent has been recognized and noticed by the Pope."
At this moment, he suddenly remembered Selvih and Seraphen.
'Those bastards! Wait, very soon, I will find you and make you live in hell.'
'Seraphen, you used to treat me like a slave. Wait till I have it all, I'll stomp you under my foot, and make you serve me like a whore.'
