I Just Want A Peaceful Life Chapter 131
Advertisement
As all the leaders argue one with the others, King Bulda himself keeps silent and calm with a lazy expression like this has nothing to do with him. On the other hand, King Nexus listened to the argument between all the leaders with interest.
Since he is the one that gives out the most contribution in defeating Monster Overlord, he knows he will get the Monster Overlord corpse or perhaps the entire corpse itself. Now, he is looking at the greediest leader to trade some kind of benefit from them.
The Orces Kingdom is not only famous as a tourist spot because of its East Coast nation, but it is also one of the international trade hubs in Firuman. As its king, King Nexus prefers to trade the Monster Overlord rather than dealing with it.
Each Monster Overlord is different from the others. Some record even saying that the moment monsters reach grade six or become Monster Overlord they will mutate into different kinds of species.
This makes Monster Overlord very unique between one and the others. Because of this, only experts could process monster overlord corpses. It is also still not guaranteed that they will be successful.
So, King Nexus intent to trade the Monster Overlord rather than keeping it for unknown benefit. Furthermore, the Orces kingdom also just lost one of its biggest sources of income and a city.
While listening to the argument between the leaders that seem to have no end, a private message appeared in front of him.
The communication device that was created by the elf is very sophisticated that could send a private message between one leader to the others without anyone knowing.
At the beginning of the meeting, he already receives a lot of private messages trying to negotiate the Monster Overlord corpse from him. Some leaders even pretentiously give congratulations and other greetings stuff to him.
King Nexus only read all of these messages without replying to any of them. None of these private messages truly give him any interest.
As he thought this is another boring offer message, King Nexus opens the content of the message and immediately surprises after reading it.
The message only held one sentence which said, "I could deal with your wound." Then, King Nexus looked at the sender which was from King Leon.
From King Nexus's knowledge, King Leon is a very serious man that didn't like doing something despicable. It is not like he couldn't do it, but because King Leon is one of the people that believe in absolute power.

As long as there is power, you could have anything doing anything you want. In Firuman where a matter of life and death occurs every day, there are a lot of people who follow this kind of belief.
King Nexus knows that people like King Leon rarely tell a lie, especially in this serious matter. As a King and seventh-grade combatant, he knows the importance of his well-being inside his kingdom.
The wound that he received from the battle with Monster Overlord is already starting to corrode his body. The miasma wound from the Monster Overlord is not something to be underestimated. For now, he could only suppress it with his mana continuously.
Sooner or later, he will only get weaker which will be bad for the Orces Kingdom. One of the reasons why Orces kingdom could establish an international trading hub is because of his presence as the seventh-grade combatant.
The other nearby kingdom didn't dare to create trouble as long as he is still alive. However, without the presence of a seventh-grade combatant, the international trading hub inside the Orces kingdom will naturally collapse possibly along with the entire kingdom.
Judging by the situation of his kingdom, it will take another miracle to have another seventh-grade combatant inside his kingdom.
He doesn't know how long he will survive but he knows that his wound will keep corroding him until he dies. Getting such a message from King Leon is like hope for him and his kingdom.
After thinking carefully, King Nexus replied with the message, "Are you sure you could heal this wound?"
"Yes, I am sure." replied King Leon shortly.
"How certain are you in healing my wound?" asked King Nexus.
"There is no such a thing of certainty in this world, my friend. But from our research it should be more than ninety percent fully healed." replied King Leon.
Hearing this, King Nexus begins to get more hope.
"Are there any side effects?" asked King Nexus.
"So far, there are no side effects. But, as I said, nothing is certain. We could only hope there is no such thing to happen." replied King Leon.
"Alright, what do you want?" asked King Nexus directly.
King Nexus knows King Leon will never give such a thing to him for free, especially inside the meeting where the Monster Overlord corpse will be divided. Even if King Leon says he doesn't want anything, King Nexus will never believe it.

In this world, there is no such thing as a free meal. The political play between national leaders is more intense than inside one kingdom. One cannot show such a weakness if one does not want to be doomed.
After a while, "I want…" replied King Leon.
As King Leon and King Nexus negotiated one with the others privately, the other leaders kept arguing one with the others for another hour while the elf leaders kept silent without saying anything.
After hours of a heated argument, it was decided that the majority of the Monster Overlord corpse would fall into the King Nexus as he contributed the most in defeating him.
King Bulda also got some portions of it but he decided to not take them because he wanted to look at some ferocious beast taking a piece of meat. Some of the leaders know about King Bulda's sarcasm but choose to ignore it.
Getting a piece of Monster Overlord corpse with the price of their pride is quite cheap for some of them. Still few of the leaders realize King Bulda's meaning and reluctantly do not participate in war for getting a piece of Monster Overlord's body.
Meanwhile, the most important piece of artifact that is being used by Monster Overlord to keep the rising monster undead is giving to the elf kingdom.
At first, all the leaders didn't want to give such a precious artifact to the elf. But, the elf leader said they will only keep it for research purposes. After knowing exactly the effect of such a heinous artifact, they will give it to another kingdom that still desires it.
However, if it only brings harm to the civilian society, the elf leader without hesitation will destroy it on the spot. Although the elf race is not a leader of the civilian society, they still oversee any major change.
Since ancient times their life purpose has been to seek the balance of the world. If there is something that will disrupt the balance of the world such as Monster Overlord, they will not hesitate to destroy it.
Furthermore, they also didn't want to see all these seventh-grade leaders killing one another as this only weakened the strength of the whole civilian society. They will interfere if two seventh-grade combatants from two different nations start to kill one another.
A seventh-grade combatant is a very precious force to maintain the balance of the world. They will only interfere in a conflict concerning this powerhouse. Otherwise, they will ignore most of the conflict, especially the internal one.
If internal strife happens in one kingdom where another seventh-grade combatant is born inside one kingdom and fights for leadership, the elf will also turn a blind eye over the matter.
From their countless experience over the years, at most one of the seventh-grade combatants will replace the other one. The seventh-grade combatant is not unlike the other combatant. If they want to run for their life in this world, nobody can catch them.
Even if two or more seventh-grade combatants fight one with the others in a life and death battle, most of them still have a high chance to survive.
Still, to prevent more chaos to happen, the elf kingdom will always mediate a conflict between one nation with the others about the seventh-grade combatant.
Otherwise, there will be a world war happening every time there is a seventh-grade combatant born. World war is the last thing the elf kingdom wants to happen as there is no real victor in this war and decrease the strength of the whole civilian society.
After concluding the meeting, the elf race took the horn artifact for researching it while leaving the monster corpse to other national leaders.
Like King Bulda said, except for the part that King Nexus gets, the other leaders become sort of hyenas that bite over pieces of little meat.
However, that didn't mean the national leaders that didn't participate in fighting over the Monster Overlord corpse don't want it. Some of them even trying to negotiate for the King Nexus portion.
Few of them even plot against the Orces kingdom especially since all of them know that King Nexus is wounded from the battle with Monster Overlord.
Whatever it is right now, Orces Kingdom and King Nexus is the biggest pile of meat for all of them, especially for all the nearby nations besides it.
