Chapter 230 – Chapter 230 ― Fall in the Summer, Like Frost on a Summer Day (1)
Episode 230 ― 夏月飛霜, like frost on a summer day (1)
[Yongcheol. I’ll be back.]
After expressing her will in her heart, Fiora hugged Roan.
“You should be fine without me.”
Roan gently rubbed her back.
Than the years he saw Fiora
It’s been a lot longer since Fiora has seen him.
Fiora must have seen Roan since he was born.
Fiora said that even after thousands of hours, parting doesn’t get used to it.
To such a sentimental woman, the word “Yokai” Doesn’t suit her.
“I learned a lot thanks to a good teacher who taught me. Now I have to practice alone.”
Her eyes were red as she smiled.
“Um, that’s right. Now is the time to send the disciples out into the world to see how much they have grown.”
It is only she who leaves for the world.
After embracing Roan, she hugged Urtellia and Anmut’s waists this time.
There was no time for them to escape.
There’s no way they can escape from the hands that Roan couldn’t avoid.
“Ah, ah, ah, now, wait a minute…”
“… Hmm, hmm…”
“I wish you well in the future~. A cat lady and a handsome leopard boy.”
“… Eh?!”
Yurtellia, who had never taken off her hat in front of her, stiffened. The expression of Anmut, whose arms were already buried in her explosive breasts, was on the brink of capture.
After all, Fiora is strong.
I don’t have to worry.
Just before turning around with a smile, what Roan heard at first glance was, ‘Now, let’s move that damn place first! This older sister has a lot of money!’.
Now is the time to take care of the people who stand behind us like a herd of sheep.
The number is about twenty, and the number of households is four.
Some arrived at Sermo’s orphanage alone, while others came with a bunch of children and the elderly.
Either way it would have been a rough road.
It’s been about a month since I sent a letter through the guild.
Considering the travel time and the amount of time they spent making decisions and arranging, the place where they lived was probably not far from the capital. However, when they arrived at Sermo, I heard that all of them were in a mess.
If they hadn’t asked the mercenary who delivered the letter to act as an escort, they might not have reached Sermo at all. The era when the food of the powerful is plundered. In this mixed world, ordinary people are herbivores. It’s a prey
At least, while living with Sermo, they have become human-like, and they are all wearing blindfolds.
I don’t know how many people I can move to the waypoint at once, but even if there are people left behind in the first move, it’s safe because Fiora, Anmut, and Urtellia are there.
Roan gave Fiora a light wave of her hand and spoke to the humans.
“It can make you sick.”
After a brief warning, magic and holy power were simultaneously operated. Now, while using simple magic, it is possible to do it reflexively to float ‘Starlight’ or ‘Star’s Blessing’.
As if sparkling water spilled, the two mixed forces drew a trail of light along the pattern. And the moment the floor is filled with light.
Just like when I met the goddess, a huge amount of magical energy rushed in and a white light covered my vision for a moment.
Roan looked around, feeling the warmth and kindness.
Thank god.
It has been confirmed that up to 20 people can move without problems at once.
When you turn your gaze, you start using the waypoint in earnest, and the first thing you notice is the huge tent surrounding the ruins at Roan’s command. This is to reduce the risk of being noticed by others while using the ruins.
Humans hold their breath and recall the unfamiliar experiences they encountered within themselves. While holding the hand of the person who came with me.
“Remove the blindfold and wait a moment.”
Roan solved the transformation.
Bare horns and purple eyes.
When you open the tent, what you see is surprisingly green.
A smile spread across Roan’s face.
I am proud every time I see this scenery.
Astor powder was also sprinkled in the desolate forest surrounding the waypoint outside the gates of Basel. It was a forest where everyone was convinced that it was dead or dying because it hadn’t leafed properly for years.
As March came and the light green started to sprout little by little, people began to think, “I can’t believe it”, And around mid-April, people who saw the leaves sprouting like new flesh couldn’t hide their joy and surprise.
Now, there are also trees with flower buds here and there. As I was watching the forest enjoying rejuvenation, literally the return of spring, in the meantime, a knight who had received a soldier’s report approached.
“Are you here? The cart has been prepared as you have said.”
“Hmm.”
Nodding his head at the knight’s words, Roan called the people inside the tent outside.
“… !”
“Huh… !”
I will move by magic,
He had heard from the orphanage beforehand that there would be demons, but the shock when he actually experienced it was different.
People held their breath in astonishment,
The children screamed at the sight of Roan. Roan smiled bitterly.
If you show this kind of appearance, demon soldiers and knights, of course, do not look at humans with good eyes.
“For a moment, I will use some magic.”
The parents, who were at a loss between the demon wizard who guided me (they know Roan that way) and the screaming child, barely nodded their heads with the same frightened expression.
However, they were a little relieved by the power spread from Roan’s fingertips. It was strangely warm, and it was a reassuring power.
Stability.
The voices of the children who received the spreading power died down, and the expressions of the people who were very nervous relaxed a little.
It must have been a virtue of deliberately placing soldiers and knights close to humanoids near the ruins.
“Oh oh… This is magic…”
“It is a very different place… ?”
“Mom, where are you?”
The effect of ‘stability’ is outstanding.
People look around the forest and start buzzing, as if the new tension has been relieved. A lycanthrope knight, apparently humanoid, escorted them to a packed cart.
There was an event where people were astonished at the beast tied up instead of a horse, but the movement went smoothly.
There was no need for thorough inspections on the carriages that the emperor brought.
Besides, it’s not the first time the soldiers guarding Basel’s gates have seen humans.
It was not uncommon for so many humans to move en masse, but the soldier who finished the check by looking inside the cart sent a glance that said, ‘There are quite a few humans, Your Majesty is going to do something else’ and finished the job.
On the contrary, the reaction of the humans who watched the increasing number of demons inside the pavement became intense. The packaging of the wagon is a means for humans to safely express their reactions while observing the demons.
All humans are busy looking at the street outside through cracks in the pavement. With half fear and half curiosity, everyone holds their breath and the inside of the cart is silent.
As if escorting the cart, Roan, who rode Kerr beside him, was relieved. It can be said that the first move was successful.
“Have you been? Your majesty.”
Of course, there were quite a lot of surprises for humans, so it was only a problem that Roan had to use ‘stable’ several times in between, but I’m glad it ended like this.
Diobe and other security guards bowed their heads to Roan to take over the humans who passed through the castle gate, and the humans were shocked in many ways to find out that the magician who had come to escort them was actually the famous ‘Demon King’. .
An emperor, even an emperor of a different race, directly led the insignificant people.
The demons came and went in the middle of Spross.
And to use holy power.
Because none of them matched common sense they knew.
‘It would be nice if I had a chance to allay my surprise about the demons when I was in Sprouse.’
With the help of the Count, I should make audio-visual teaching materials. Thinking of what to do next, Roan followed the security guard at a distance.
After learning that he is the emperor, humans seem to feel very burdened by his existence, but there is nothing they can do about it.
“Maybe I can give you a report.”
“But since it’s my first time, I want to take a look.”
Diobe’s eyes curled up.
He is also a very caring person.
“I want to see what can be improved next time. Wouldn’t it be more rewarding than anything else?”
“Reward…”
Diobe, who opened his eyes wide at the unexpected words, smiled again.
Not for political reasons, but rewarding.
Little things like this make Her Majesty endearing.
Diobe and Roan, who had different thoughts for a while, arrived at the drawing room of the Imperial Palace.
It took a while for the newly arrived humans to look around with their eyes wide open at the splendid decorations.
The first family reunion took place.
“Honey!”
“Dad… !”
“Honey, my God. You were alive Aigo, Goddess, thank you…”
“No, why are you alone… ?”
Screams and cheers, joy and sadness intersect.
Perhaps this is the most intense flow of emotions since the drawing room was created?
Roan quietly closed the ‘detection’.
It was the spring of last year that the humans living in Basel were taken prisoner. A whopping year has passed.
And, even if it is not, a year in difficult times is harsh to endure in Merde now.
Soon the drawing room became a sea of tears.
Even if you don’t have a skill like ‘detection’
Overflowing emotions touched people’s hearts.
The demons of the police force standing on one side of the drawing room were silently looking at the humans with tears in their eyes.
Even though they are of different races, they feel the same.
After the reunion was completed, they moved to the area where humans live. Diobe began to report the reactions of humans.
“Everyone will be very envious.”
“On the one hand, I’m worried.”
“Yes. It must be a complicated mind.”
Diove looked through the note with her report.
“Some asked if it would be okay to send the money or food they earned to their families to help them get to the capital.”
Roan shook his head.
“It seems that Merde’s situation is worse than we thought. They had mercenaries escort those coming to the capital, but they could change suddenly or become targets of bandits if they had food or money. That’s not a good idea.”
“… Is that enough?”
Diobe has already left Merde for several years. She knew Merdemann before the war, so she put on a look of mixed sadness and bewilderment.
“There are people who rob nobles’ food carts and distribute them.”
“Ah…”
Sigh.
Roan silently looked at Diobe.
“… I’m sorry. Your majesty.”
But Diobe knows that her Emperor is not to blame for this. As she thought, Roan nodded her head with a faint smile.
“Human beings coming to Merde from now on will be transported to Basel first. After staying in Basel for a month, those with skills move to the Basel settlement, and the others to the settlements of Zeno and Laju, respectively.”
Since the security forces were not yet large enough to cover a large area, they decided to start clearing land from the outskirts of the city where the lords stayed.
The West Blood Lord and the East Hwang-ryeong Lord decided to protect humans by adding strength, and a favorable attitude towards humans is spreading little by little, especially among the nobles of the Eastern Hwang-ryeong.
“I ordered the cooperation of the great lords, but to them, the territories came first. Take care to ensure that the security forces do their job properly.”
“All right.”
After the hero, you have to deal with the existence beyond.
The threat had not yet gone, and the Goddess gave me a request.
It’s too early to talk about safety because the fight isn’t over yet, but the times are too dizzy to keep my life safe.
I want to save those I can reach.
I have been given a role,
At least in this life, I want to do my best.
Like the lives of this land who find green again with the help of the power left by the goddess.
And time passed.
Spring is in full bloom, and a blue summer has begun to approach the continent.
“It’s already a little hot here, sir.”
Roan and Helen set foot on Sprouse again after ten days.
