Episode 172 〈Preparation for the future. 〉
I summoned the Bone Wyvern and rode on it. Ellis got on behind me and took an awkward stance.
When I look back, I see Saeran and the twins.
Saeran sobbed and wiped away his tears with a handkerchief.
“Sorry I was a little clumsy. “Forget what you said yesterday.”
I blushed and stuttered, perhaps because I was too embarrassed.
Last night she told me about the ice giant.
And this morning the twins showed and reported visions and auditory hallucinations just as she described.
Accordingly, it was possible to find out when the giants would attack.
Five years later is when the Jotuns attack.
It was also a time that announced the fall of the Franz Kingdom.
What attacked was an ice giant.
The being brutally massacred the people and destroyed the city.
Even though he knew that, Saeran said it last night.
-Never interfere.
He belatedly said something that contradicted his request to save his family.
-I’m sorry I asked for an unreasonable request. You should never interfere with the future. That foresight is the word of God. If you disobey it, the worst will happen. We have to prepare for what happens after that.
Saeran planned to accept the prediction as is.
I am even willing to accept my family’s fate because it is God’s will.
He said that if fate were to go against that, the worst scenario would begin and there would be no turning back.
Is that really God’s will?
I interpreted it the other way around.
If you’ve already seen something, just block it.
However, what Saeran said matters.
‘It could get worse.’
That’s right.
“It means you can just do it similar to what came out in the future, but it’s a pain in the ass.”
“What?”
I smiled at Saeran and shook my head.
“It’s nothing. I understand. I’ll take your words to heart.”
“…thank you.”
Even as she said that, Saeran’s tears welled up. She
covered her face with her hands and sobbed.
The twins on either side hugged her and burst into tears.
They must have been very shocked.
In fact, Hans once said something about the Franz royal family.
They As he had unusual powers, his mind was unstable.
In Saeran’s case, he must have been unable to withstand the cruel future he saw. His
family supported him.
I sighed and said to the twins,
“Brothers, please get on board first. ”
“Why us?”
The twins looked at me.
“Your role is necessary in persuading ambassadors from other countries. Also, your skills are helpful in training.”
Mabel and Marcel are also needed.
What we need to do from now on is inform the monarchs of the continent about Ragnarok.
We have to prepare to prevent the apocalypse.
The abilities of the two people are essential to persuade him.
Above the wyverns that the two saw . I got on.
“Take care.”
“Don’t worry too much, sister!”
“Please sleep soundly. Don’t worry about us.”
The twins spoke to Saeran.
The Bone Wyvern flapped its wings and took off.
Even as it soared high into the sky, Saeran was still visible.
Then, his legs seemed to have lost strength and he sat down.
He could see servants and maids supporting him around him.
“…Rotten.”
“I won’t leave Jotun or anything else alone.”
Mabel and Marcel cursed.
The twins huddled behind Ellis glared at me.
“Allen, are you really going to pretend you didn’t see it?”
“You’re right. Yeji must not disobey. But they are a precious family. “I can’t let you die.”
I sighed at the twins’ words.
Even though I was persistent, I had no intention of letting them die.
“This is a story that takes place five years later. We are doing things to prepare for that time.”
Only then did the twins’ expressions clear up:
“Thank you.”
Did his feelings for me ease a little?
I shrugged.
“Nothing much.”
“What about Hans?”
Ellis, who was behind us, asked,
“After drawing the warp line, we will come by carriage later.”
“Warpjin?”
“A warp camp that will connect the Kingdom of Franz and the Holy Empire.”
Hans is building a warp bridge that can quickly travel between countries.
However, very few people will be able to apply it.
Powerful energy is needed to use the warp.
If you do not have the energy of a progenitor-level vampire, it will be difficult to apply it.
“I see. .”
Ellis tilted her head as she looked at the direction the wyvern was flying,
because it was tilted more than the direction toward the Holy Empire.
“Are we returning to our homeland now?”
“No, there is another place to go.”
Ellis tilted his head.
“Where?”
“Aslan.”
The first thing to do is:
“Hold it properly. It flies quickly.”
The bone wyvern picked up speed.
**
Jeram was in a slum.
When all the traitorous princes were beheaded, only Jeram survived.
The reason was simple.
He saw King Rahamma resurrected and knelt before him. Because.
And because he gave information about the bloody army to King Seong.
In a way, he betrayed his feudal lords and barely survived.
‘Yes, he only barely survived.’
His magic power was shut down and he became a ruined person.
Now he could not even use magic power,
let alone magic. All he could do was beg on the streets and barely make a living each day.
He no longer had the pride that a feudal lord should have.
Emperor Rahamma The sin of betraying the queen, whom I recognized, is great.
I thought I was only now accepting the sin of being blinded by the false life called eternal life.
-I will not kill you. Live. Because it will be more painful.
Those were Queen Tinya’s last words.
I laughed out loud.
Heart. She seems like a weak queen, so she will be betrayed.
It was when Jeram shook his head.
A gold nugget fell into the empty can.
“…!”
Jeram raised his head in surprise.
Then, he frowned.
“Aslan’s son.” “What’s going on, my lord?”
The new ruler of Aslan.
The person in front of me was Holy King Allen Olfols.
Allen was standing with his robe covered up.
“I was looking for you.”
Allen shrugged his shoulders.
“And the emperor has practically abandoned the country and is wandering around. In fact, he is disqualified as an emperor.”
Jeram smiled heartily, played with the gold nugget and said,
“I heard you won the war against the vampires. Congratulations.”
“Thank you so much.”
“Now all that remains is to dominate the continent.”
Jeram looked up at Allen and said.
Allen sat right in front of Jeram and said,
“Conquer the world? Why are you doing such a bothersome thing?”
“If you were you, you could become the king who rules the entire continent.”
“I’m so busy right now, where will I find time to do that?”
“…I have no greed.”
Jeram said, leaning his back against the wall.
“So, why has the new Lord Aslan come?”
He spread out his hands and said sarcastically,
“You didn’t come here to laugh at me.”
“Are you planning on wasting your time here?”
Jeram tilted his head as if wondering.
“I have lost my right to be a feudal lord. I even betrayed Queen Tinya. Honestly, if I had been with the other feudal lords, I would have had my head cut off as well. It is thanks to you and Tinya’s mercy that I am alive like this. .”
“Actually, it’s a bit cruel for mercy. The magic power has been shut down. You’ve become a wreck and are barely surviving by begging.”
Jeram frowned.
“It seems like even the Holy King really has nothing to do, to mock you like this for throwing away your pride.”
“No, there are too many. There are too many, so I’m busy. Even now, when I’m done with my errands, I have to go somewhere else. And the reason I came here is simple.”
Allen smiled and said,
“Tinya will be volunteering for the military.”
“…”
“You will be stripped of your status as queen, serve in the military for 30 years, and serve as my assistant. That is the punishment for treason.”
Jeram was relieved inwardly.
He was fortunate not to be drafted into the army or at least become a slave.
Besides, with Tinya’s abilities, he would be deployed to the rear and wouldn’t get hurt.
“And you also have a way to help Tinya.”
Jeram’s eyes widened.
“There’s not enough people in charge of military education.”
“What do you mean?”
“Out of the twelve feudal lords, he has the strongest power, right? They say he’s a training instructor that even Damon approves of.”
“…I was defeated by you in one hit. That’s right.”
“Then can you do something for me? I’ll hit you hard on your salary.”
“…”
Jeram let out a laugh.
Are there any other emperors in the world who are so undignified? He
was talking so casually that it was as if he was dealing with a friend.
“I have become a useless person. I no longer have the strength to use magical power… ..”
“It’s possible with holy power.”
Jeram looked at Allen with a hardened face.
“I will plant holy power in your body like Tinya. In at least half a year, you will be able to recover the lost magic power as much as the holy power.”
“…What on earth are you trying to do? Are you really not trying to conquer the world?”
Allen smiled bitterly and shook his head:
“The reason I’m doing this is simple.”
“We need an army to stop the end of the world.”
“end?”
“I want you to do it. Beings like the monks that Damon fostered.”
Allen tilted his head and said,
“I just want you to train 500 more of them.”
**
The imperial palace’s office.
Luan was exhausted.
Shadows appeared under her eyes and she was dozing off.
‘I wasn’t hanging out with three maids last night.’
Thanks to this, I have been fighting over documents for several days without sleep.
“Here’s the next report.”
Next to him, Charlotte was opening her mouth.
Immediately after Allen left, Charlotte was conducting military training and assisting Luan.
“The 10,000-gun armament theory is progressing smoothly. Additionally, the mass production of large-scale cannons developed by Monk Han has begun.”
Luan turned his attention to the report.
The training of about 5,000 priests had already been completed.
There were now about 5,000 more left. About
200 cannons were being produced.
They were all military applications that required Allen.
Allen’s wonders . Without it, cannons and muskets are useless.
Among them, there is one that stands out.
“…What is this item?”
“This is the magic tool that His Majesty the Holy King spoke about.”
“So you mean that magic tool, this armor?”
Luan lifted the document and tilted her head.
What was in the document was a picture.
She could see plate armor covered from head to toe with runes engraved on it. It was
a drawing for magic armor.
“…But usually. It is much bulkier than the armor. “Are you planning on making a small golem?”
“They say paladins will wear it.”
“…”
For what reason are they doing this?
Luan couldn’t figure it out.
The Franz family suddenly came to visit. The prosperous Celt was away. Even though they won the vampire war, aren’t they putting more effort into training their military? Everything is a mystery. C.
I heard about the apocalypse from Allen, but it didn’t feel realistic.
As a result, other countries are crying out for a war of aggression. I’m
trying to find a way to stop their backlash, but it’s not easy. As her
mind gradually becomes more complicated, Luan has a sullen expression on her face. I leaned on the back of my hand.
Ah, the stress was building up.
Luan glanced at Charlotte next to her.
‘It’s a pleasure to have a beautiful woman by my side, but I can’t touch my younger brother’s knight.’
Above all, Charlotte’s attitude towards her is cold. She
is like a chilly ice princess.
It seems that the main reason is that Allen left her alone.
“Oh Charlotte Herrise. You make my heart flutter.”
A joke to lighten the mood:
“Next, it’s about military training.”
“…Please, please listen to me. I only slept 2 hours for 10 days and took care of all the work. Allen abandoned his work and ran away. Please at least comfort me with words.”
When Luan stretched out her hand, Charlotte glared at Luan like she was looking at a bug.
“I didn’t run away, I went to work.”
Luan felt like she was seeing an illusion of her hand being cut, so she withdrew her hand. It was
terrible, but Allen had kept the Ice Princess by his side.
Luan sighed and was looking at the documents. There
was a commotion outside.
Luan raised her head and opened the door. When you look at the ‘boom boom boom-!’ There was a loud pounding on the door.
‘What is it?’
Normally, you would hear a knock on the door, but why…?
“Prince! It’s not the 7th prince. His Majesty the Holy King has returned!”
At those words, Luan’s expression relaxed.
I’m alive! Now that Allen has come, things will calm down a bit.
As I was thinking that, I heard the sound of something falling next to me.
Luan looked to the side.
The document Charlotte was holding. “Oh ,
I’m sorry.”
The corner of Charlotte’s mouth twitched.
It seemed like she was holding back a smile. She seemed
quite happy.
As Luan stood up, the door flew open.
“We’re in big trouble! 1st Prince!”
“Big deal?”
Ruan looked at the nobles in front of him. They
were sweating coldly, probably because they had rushed in.
Looking at them, Ruan tilted his head and the nobles said,
“His Majesty the Holy King, in the form of the commander of the God Corps…”
“…”
“We are facing ambassadors from other countries.”
Luan and Charlotte’s faces hardened at those words.
**
Rox, Queen of Airance, entered the Daedalus Labyrinth.
There was a request from the Holy Emperor to obtain a large amount of sap from an ancient plant.
Thanks to this, the labyrinth was opened. and hired adventurers.
Among them, there were those who could survive in the labyrinth.
Three old men.
Their fame quickly spread throughout the continent.
The first time they appeared was Aslan.
The three of them hunted down a horde of about 500 orcs that attacked the village. There was a rumor that they did it.
Next was the Kingdom of Rom.
It is said that they subdued the bandits who were in the midst of the war and massacred the remaining rebels.
Next was Irans.
The Labyrinth of Daedalus.
This is where the three people were sitting on the ancient dragon they had beaten down. .
Queen Rox looked at the three old men covered in robes. When she
snapped her fingers, a lightning
bolt split the earth. It is said that when she swung her sword, hundreds of orcs were cut to death.
When she prayed, a ball of light fell and evaporated the bandits. I
heard rumors.
Queen Rox heard about those three people and had an idea.
There weren’t many people on the continent who could do such a thing.
That’s why she came to visit and was able to meet them.
“…It’s been a long time. ”
The old man sitting on the head of the ancient dragon spoke.
Queen Rox’s eyes widened.
She covered her mouth with a trembling hand.
“How have you been?”
The old man looked up
and saw a familiar face between his robes.
“Celt.”
“It’s been a while, Rox.”
Celtic All Falls was a success.
He was smiling kindly.
