"Holy crap, how could you have something like this? And how could the Sword of the Empire possibly do something as vulgar as a concert? Wouldn't that damage the Empire's image?"

"Just tell me if you want it or not. If not, I'll go find someone else."

"Wait a minute, I want it! How much?"

"One hundred thousand gold coins."

"Damn, it's so expensive, why don't you just rob someone?"

"don't want?"

"Yes, yes, yes, give me a discount, brother. I've never asked you for anything in my life."

"Alright, call me father, and I'll sell it to you for 50,000 gold coins."

"Dad, please, Dad, I really need this thing."

"My dear son, I'm keeping this last copy for myself."

"It wasn't me, you bastard, I'm..."

As soon as Atoris scanned the crowd, he noticed an argument taking place in some corners of the audience.

After hearing the content of the argument, Atoris frowned.

"A concert?"

"I remember that's a kind of entertainment that's become popular among young people in the Empire in recent years. How come it's related to me?"

Thinking of this, Atoris scanned the crowd again.

They discovered a person wearing a black and gold cloak, lurking suspiciously in a corner.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a young girl with white hair.

Artorias: "?"

Before she could even react, the white-haired girl seemed to have noticed her, and looked up to meet Atoris's gaze.

Without bias, Atoris clearly saw that they were a pair of crimson eyes.

Artoria: "!"

For a moment, Atoris was in a state of great shock.

After a brief moment of hesitation, she called out to Roland, who was standing beside her.

"Roland, I'm going out for a bit."

With that, Artorias left the palace.

Roland, who was standing still, seemed somewhat at a loss for what to do in the face of this sudden turn of events.

"Strange, what's wrong with her? Does she not like this outfit? But it was clearly designed by me at the request of the Wheel of Fortune, who said she would definitely like it. Did I design something wrong?"

Thinking of this, Roland shook his head.

"Well, she has protected the empire for three hundred years after all. It's good that she's a little temperamental now. Before, she was always silent. I was worried that she might have some kind of psychological problem."

While Roland was still marveling to himself, Atoris had already arrived below the crowd.

Using the privileges granted by the Crown of the Empire, she shut down the perception of those around her.

And so, Atoris quickly arrived in front of the girl.

And the result was exactly as she expected.

"My lord?"

The girl who was lurking around furtively was Xie Bai.

After two days, the world's malice finally subsided, giving Xie Bai the opportunity to visit the real world.

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of Atoris, Xie Bai immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Ah, isn't this Lord Sword of the Empire? It's a pleasure to meet you..."

Xie Bai was speaking when Atoris covered his mouth.

"Please, my lord, do not address me that way..."

As he spoke, Atoris lowered his brows slightly.

"At least, don't include adults."

Seeing this, Xie Bai narrowed his eyes.

"Okay, okay, I won't yell anymore. By the way, Artorias, your outfit looks pretty good, it's very nice."

As he spoke, Xie Bai involuntarily glanced at the other person's white over-the-knee socks.

Mmm, with some meat showing through, it smells delicious.

"My lord, do you like this outfit?"

"Hmm, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Atoris withdrew his hand.

"Hmm... I'm glad you like it, my lord."

Xie Bai: "?"

Xie Bai was slightly taken aback when he saw the pop-up notification box.

What does "conquer" mean?

Is it serious?

Before Xie Bai could react, Atoris spoke first.

"By the way, my lord, did you spread those rumors about my concert?"

Hearing Atoris's question, Xie Bai smiled slightly.

"That's right, and the response has been quite good. Each ticket costs 20,000 gold coins, and 50,000 tickets were sold in just one hour."

A total of one billion gold coins, and this is just the beginning. If they develop related merchandise later, the revenue could increase dozens of times over.

"Making money? Just tell me about money, and I should be able to help you..."

"Alright, alright, let's forget about abusing public power for private gain. I still prefer the way things are now."

In reality, Xie Bai earned 10 billion gold coins.

According to the criteria of the Greed Blessing, these are considered legitimate transactions and can trigger a tenfold increase in gold coins.

With the almost irrational blessing of greed, Xie Bai possesses no business acumen whatsoever.

It can also achieve compound interest through the accumulation of huge amounts of capital, giving the economic circle of the Aodu Empire a small shock.

However, Xie Bai was aware of the effects of inflation, although she didn't yet fully understand the actual economic operation of this world.

However, for safety reasons, Xie Bai decided to store the extra amplification coins in his backpack to increase his damage cap.

The remaining original profits are then used for economic operations.

For example, it could be used to develop an imperial idol economy.

According to Xie Bai's observation, Sri Lanka's economy is very prosperous and open, which has even given rise to idol economy such as concerts.

However, it is still in its infancy. Carlos's concerts in Sri Lanka are still small-scale private entertainment and have not yet developed into a national phenomenon.

A major reason for this phenomenon, besides the relatively short development period, is the collective worship of Artoris by the people of the empire.

This supreme war god, who has protected the empire for three hundred years, has long been a pillar of support for every citizen of the empire.

But it's different now.

The announcement of Artoris's death by Orion plunged the people of the Empire, who had lost this pillar of their being, into a profound grief and emptiness.

As a result, Orion announced the death of Artorias and then immediately announced the appointment of a new Imperial Sword, who would inherit Artorias's name.

This gave the people of the empire, who had just lost their pillar of support, another entity to rely on.

In addition, Atoris's current appearance is indeed very cute, making him very suitable for debuting as an idol.

This immediately aroused even greater support from the people of the empire.

Thus, Atoris now has the perfect combination of timing, location, and support.

He became the best person to start the idol industry.

And that is indeed the case.

Thanks to Xie Bai's actions, the response to Atoris's concert was exceptionally enthusiastic.

It is estimated that it will not be long before citizens of other cities flock to Kalos Sri Lanka, just to catch a glimpse of the beauty of this imperial swordsman.

It's fair to say that Xie Bai could have sold even more tickets if it weren't for the limited space.

However, considering that the real bulk of the revenue comes from the merchandise, Xie Bai didn't pay too much attention to the ticket price.

Besides making money, Xie Baifa had another important factor in selling these tickets.

That is to attract the attention of a certain perverted lolicon, so as to slow down the other party's search for him.

At this moment, Atoris on the opposite side seemed somewhat at a loss.

"But... my lord, even if you wish me to do this, I am not good at these things..."

Seeing Atoris's concerns, Xie Bai patted him on the shoulder.

"You don't need to worry. I will teach you these things naturally. Besides, your soul power is very strong now, and I believe you will be able to learn them very quickly."

"Well... alright, my lord."

Although Atoris looked a little embarrassed, she chose to understand as much as possible since it was Xie Bai's request.

"By the way, Artorias, is the threat you're facing recently that the soon-to-be-returning commander-in-chief?"

"Yes, my lord... um... were you lurking nearby and eavesdropping at some point?"

Xie Bai's lips twitched slightly.

No, what does that mean?

Does she resemble the kind of perverted person who casually sneaks into someone's shadow and then uses invisibility to spy on them?

Seeing Atoris's confused expression as he tilted his head, Xie Bai tried to cough a few times.

"Ahem, don't worry about that for now. I mentioned this because I have good news for you."

"Wha...what news?"

For a fleeting moment, Atoris sensed that this was not good news.

"That means I've already had someone infiltrate that general's army to spread news of your concert, and the response has been even more enthusiastic than here."

Artorias: "?"

"Simply put, more than 90% of the enemy's army is now secretly supporting you."

Shouting slogans like "Fighting for the Emperor," they infiltrated the commander-in-chief's army.

Then you won't have to worry about your own forces turning against each other and wasting the empire's strength.

Xie Bai paused again halfway through his speech.

"If I remember correctly, this should be called... subduing the enemy without fighting?"
