They travel inside the carriage. Christopher saw that the people were busy, they were preparing for the Count's birthday. 

' I Guess my Father is a good leader. The population loves him and wants to celebrate his birthday… sigh, I hope I can be a great man like him.'

Christopher had anxiety about this. His father is still young and he could do his work actively. However, they know the day would come when Christopher would take over the position. He's afraid he would disappoint the people again…

'No! I'm different this time.'

The two consciousness inside the body was now fully merged and become one. He is Christopher Mellwood, the son of Charles Mellwood and the person who transmigrated inside his book. 

He was confident that he could overcome any problems that would block his path. The knowledge that he had would be his key to accomplish it. 

"Young Master we are here."

Rob informed that they were now in the Plain. They got off and see guards patrolling the area. 

"Sir!"

"What's the situation?"

Rob asked. 

"Mayor we found that there's a Tomb inside the Plain. It looks like someone fought in the vicinity because we saw traces of battle. We guess it's a company of people numbering 10- 15 people."

"You did a good job… What about it Young Master? Do you want to see it? "

The Mayor hopes that Christopher would change his mind. It's better to be safe than sorry, maybe the Plain is still dangerous. 

"Hm, okay, I'll go. I'm actually curious about that Tomb… perhaps we can find some Artifacts inside, hehe. "

The guard stepped up and explained.

"Sir, we already visited it.  We saw nothing but we believe that there's an item before, but those people took it already. You will find nothing inside the Tomb."

"Is that so, still, I will go. I have nothing to do here anyway. My mother said that I need to solve this problem, though I believe this is not a problem. This is a blessing. I guess my Father is loved by the Goddesses."

A crackle laugh came out of him. The Mayor was skeptical about his behavior. ' Why did he laughed?' He thought.

"What do you mean by that, Young Master?"

Rob spoke curiously, the disappearance of undead was a blessing, but he believed that there was more than it when he detected Christopher's change of tone. 

Christopher chuckled and walk.

"Hehe, ask someone to bring a continent map to the Tomb.  Me and Mayor Rob will go to that Tomb. "

"Yes Sir!"

The three guards left to find a map. As for the other guards, they stay to accompany the Mayor and Christopher.

"So Mayor, shall we?"

Christopher smiled. 

"… Yes, Young Master. Let's go."

Mayor followed him.

They walked for some minutes and have a conversation about their everyday lives. The Mayor didn't know that his Young Master was a friendly person. He was not biased and he even respected the guards around him.

' So this is the men of Mellwood. The prideful blade of Empire... It's such a disappointment that I never meet the older son… I never thought that Young Master Christopher is a good person. I only know him as a drunken bastard, because that's the only time I saw him. Well, if he's not drunk I believe he can be a good leader…' 

Mayor knew that his Young Master failed his ascension, but this is not a problem, he could still govern the territory even if he's not a Rara Avis. 

"So this is the Tomb huh. So it's underground... Is this safe? "

Christopher looked at the guards. He knew that it's safe, but he didn't want to destroy his cover as a sheltered noble. 

"Yes Sir! We already inspected everything inside. There's no traps and the air is clean."

"Good… now that I think about it. Did you know that there is a Tomb here?"

Christopher stared at Mayor, asking for an answer. 

"No Young Master. The Inaudible Plain had been here since the Empire is founded. The information about this place has already been washed away by history. We have some books about this place, but it's too old and unreadable. "

"Is that so? Then let's go. I'm excited to see a historical site."

They went inside and saw guards who were doing their inspections. 

"It's actually sturdy than I imagine. The walls are well ventilated and the writings… does someone knows what's the writing means is?"

Christopher asked the people inside the Tomb. An old man appeared, he's the leader of this inspection. 

"Unfortunately, the people who can read this are in the Capital. But our scholars said that the writings are Old Chenzhin Language. We decipher some words and said…"

The old man paused, he didn't want to tell it because he believed that this would strike many people. Especially the followers of the Goddess of Light and the Goddess of Death.

"Speak, old man, what did it say?"

Christopher squinted and gazed at him. To make his plan go smoothly. He needs to spread the information that the Death Necromancer was lying here. 

"T- the Death Necromancer is buried here!"

The old man was forced to speak. Some people become silent. You could hear someone gasped. 

"… I see… I command everyone to never speak about this! Don't ever tell anyone what you hear inside this Tomb."

"Yes Sir!! "

"Y- Young Master!! What are we gonna do about this!?"

Mayor Rob was shocked when he thought this place is the grave of Death Necromancer.

"Relax Mayor Rob. We can use this information. In fact, we can use this Plain to become our new source of income."

"Y- Young Master? What are you talking about?"

When Rob heard the word income, his ears elongated and his eyes beam in a curious manner. 

"Hehe, you see…"

Christopher tried to talk when a guard came in and said that the map was now here.

"Sir! The map of the Western continent is here."

"Oh, just at the right time. Spread it on the table."

The guards followed his command. They took everything to the table and spread the map. Geographical areas could be seen in the paper. 

Christopher and Mayor Rob stepped in and looked at the map.

"Do you see something on the map, Mayor Rob?"

"What do you mean Young Master?"

" Chuckle, look at the location of Inaudible Plain. I'm sure you will find something."

The Mayor study the Plain... 

"…!!! Th- this is great!! I never thought about this. Young Master, you're a genius!"

The Mayor was surprised when he realized the Plain could be used as a route. 

"Genius your ass, hehe. Everyone can guess this if they have time. I just think about it earlier than them. "
