"This is a joke, right?" Benjamin asked out loud with a wry smile on his face. This was completely ridiculous. Players would try killing a Rank 10 monster? Obviously they wouldn't actually achieve this, but it was still insane.

"And Ailren is a good guy, what's wrong with them?" The old man muttered quietly, and Andrew stepped over from the kitchen, "Actually though, are those guys fucking idiots?" He asked, and Benjamin quickly nodded his head in response.

"Of course they are. But this is still a bad thing. If they try to do something like that, it will turn out horrible no matter the result. Let's say they miraculously manage to win a fight against Ailren, that might cause other Metallic Dragons to become wrathful. That's not something we can let happen, the war between the metallic and chromatic dragons needs to be won by the metallic dragons." With a deep glare, Benjamin stared at the TV in front of him, while Andrew looked at him with a concerned frown.

"What do you think's gonna happen if they lose, then? That should make it all turn out fine, right?" Andrew asked, and Benjamin immediately shook his head, "Absolutely not. Right now, they're attacking Ailren out of the assumption he has anything to do with the Grandmasters' disappearance. They're attacking him because they assumed something wrong was the case. Now, imagine hundreds of players being killed by him? That's definitely going to be turned into a reason to keep attacking him." The old man pointed out, and then groaned as he placed down his cup of coffee and started rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"So annoying. Players will get way stronger very quickly, and it won't take too long until a couple hundred of them can beat Ailren together. I should try and shut them down soon." With that suggestion, Benjamin leaned back on the couch and sighed deeply, "He says and gets comfy on the couch." Andrew smirked, and Benjamin just looked at him with a shrug, "I can't return right now anyway. I'll have to get back in an hour or so to properly get rid of my exhaustion. After that, we're going to travel to two more islands that we need to take over, so I'd suggest you get ready as soon as you can as well. We'll need you."

Benjamin started thinking about what the best tactic for everything would be. As far as the old man was concerned, they should really go straight to some low-tier islands that they could take over relatively easily. Some islands with rank 6 monsters, maybe. That should be fine. Either way, they should just really hurry and get everything done for that so that Benjamin can properly concentrate on ranking up the rest of his skills.

Within one week over there, it might be hard, but it should be possible to rank up all those skills that are already close to ranking up anyway, and then hurriedly fly back to the mainland and to Melroe to stop everything. He had to shut it down before things went completely south.

For now, Benjamin continued watching the World of Magic channel to see if there were any more interesting news besides that 'raid', but it seemed like that wasn't the case. And so, once the hour was over, Benjamin returned to the capsule.

Eisen groaned deeply as he stood up. Without hesitation, he looked forward and said, "Sigurd. Make a gate to the outside."

The very next moment, a large doorway appeared there together with the core guardian, who looked at Eisen a bit concerned, "Everything alright? Did something happen over there to put you in a bad mood?" Sigurd asked. The old man didn't have to think about that either, and instantly responded before Sigurd's sentence was even properly over.

"Yes, something happened, and it's really, really annoying. Askr, bring me up to Bree." The old man commanded. The wood-giant placed its palm in front of the gate and picked Eisen up soon after, "I'll explain it in a bit." Eisen said to Sigurd, before he was held up to the Crow's Nest where Bree usually spent most of her time, including right now.

"Good morning~!" She explained gleefully, "Look, just a couple more minutes and we'll be there!" Bree told Eisen, who just lightly smiled and nodded his head.

"Good," He said, "But I need to ask you something else as well. You looked into the islands with the information that you were given on the central island, right? We need two more islands to take over as quickly as possible so that we have the required five towns to turn the guild into a country."

Immediately Bree started thinking about it, and it didn't take long for her to come up with something as well, "The island of the God of Comfort, Hor, is one. I think that's something you should be able to get through there pretty easily. The monsters are kind of strong, but it seems like they have properties that make them easy to fight. And then there's the island of the Goddess of Love, Reah. All the monsters attack through things like charm magic, so especially you should be able to get through easily. You can see through disguise stuff like that, right?" Bree pointed out, and Eisen swiftly nodded his head with a bit of thought.

"Got it. Then we'll bring the ship to the harbor, help everyone there properly unload the cargo that Komer put on it, and then we're taking the ship to those two islands. They should be nearby, right?"

"Mhm~! The island of Hor is three hours away from the central island, and the island of Reah is two hours away from that, and then it's a four hour trip back to the central island." Bree explained. With a satisfied expression, the old man looked toward the central island and waited for it to come a bit closer.

"Alright, then prepare for the trip. Oh, and I hope you're hungry, I'll be starting to cook earlier after all." Eisen pointed out, quickly having Askr bring him back to the Dungeon, where Sigurd was already waiting, "You probably heard us, right?" The old man asked it, and the core guardian quickly nodded its head.

"Yup. But really, why are you in such a rush?" It asked. With a slight sigh, as the two of them went to gather everyone up so they could help with the cargo stuff, Eisen explained the situation to everyone, together with what they now needed to do.

And before they all knew it, the ship slowed down and Eisen went outside again to help Askr step off the ship to make space for the harbor-workers. Now that Eisen saw this place again, he noticed that it really developed an incredible amount. There were actual buildings here now, for one. The harbor practically turned into its own small village. The streets were far more developed as well, and the monsters and people were working together as workers in this place.

After Eisen got Askr of the ship and everyone started help with the unloading of the cargo, it didn't take long for the old man to help Askr back onto the ship as well, so that they could head off toward the island of comfort immediately. Eisen was actually feeling a little stressed right now, but it wasn't something he couldn't deal with.

Somehow, Eisen didn't feel stressed at having to become a king, but at having to level up six skills in a couple of days, becoming a king in the same amount of time, and then flying back to the continent to stop players from making an insane mistake.

And that was because Eisen wanted to finish this all up before heading over there, to have some sort of better 'authority' over them. After all, being a King, and having a crafting class with 'Godly' in the title, which he will get after reaching level 300, players may be more keen to listen to him.

It only took an hour or two until the ship already started departing again, at which point Eisen already moved on and stood next to the ingredients they had farmed today. First things first, Eisen thought it was a good idea to make some bread. He had a huge amount of flour, so it made sense to make some of that first.

And so, Eisen increased his size to the total maximum together with his draconic demon transformation and then started mixing ingredients together as if he was baking bread normally, meaning that the amount was scaled up properly.

He poured in huge amounts of flour, sugar, yeast, salt, some oil, and warm water into the giant metal bowl, before starting to mix and knead them together.

Of course, after that, Eisen created numerous regular-sized metal bowls using his element and then ripped away parts of the giant lump of dough to put them into the regular-sized bowls, which Eisen all placed into a flat, broad and wide oven made with Eisen's element where it would always be a little warm. Not hot, just warm, so that the yeast could work properly.

And now, that would take a couple of hours to rise.

And in the meantime, the old man got started on some more ingredients so that he could properly turn that dough into food that might give him a lot of proficiency. They had Jyuuk's element, which they could use to keep things fresh indefinitely, so it wasn't an issue even if Eisen made way, way too much of anything.

The old man got started on cutting up some lettuce, tomatoes, and even started smoking some bacon. Otherwise, Eisen made some simple mayonnaise using some eggs that they still had been storing. It took up nearly all of those eggs, but that was fine.

Once the dough properly rose, with the help of his two apprentices, Eisen started scooping out the dough out of the bowls one by one before ripping off balls of dough that were then placed on the inside of the oven Eisen made with his elements to make numerous bread buns.

While those were baking, Eisen finished off making the ingredients, and once the buns were done, Eisen grabbed them one by one and quickly started making the sandwiches using them. The dozens over dozens of BLT sandwiches.

It took a while to do this, but it also gave Eisen a lot of proficiency, enough to make him think that maybe he could get the skill to rank 4 just by doing this, but he sadly didn't manage to do so. He was close, but not fully there.

But Eisen didn't mind. He now had hundreds of BLT sandwiches to worry about first and foremost.
