Episode 87 ― Road to the West (4)
‘I put a warming spell on it.’
Otherwise, you’ll become a snotty devil.
‘If I cast a star’s blessing.’
… The warming effect is doubled.
After she went to the ruins, Helen encouraged her to practice using her magic and holy power at the same time.
Due to the original sex hero electric game setting, magic and holy power cannot coexist in one person.
Wizards cannot learn divine magic, and priests like Helen cannot learn magic. The only exception was the warrior.
And now I’ve been added.
Since the hero hasn’t met Helen, it’s safe to assume that she’s the only one who can use the waypoint so far.
So-called double casting, using two magics at the same time, is impossible in this world. In order to use another magic in the game, the previous magic had to be finished or stopped unconditionally.
But strangely,
It was not difficult to use magic while using divine magic.
The level of knowledge is still low, so high-ranking magic cannot be used. But even small magic is of great help in this world.
I even found that using a blessing amplifies the magic. It was a way to get the effect by increasing the concentration of the designated target, so it was quite okay to use a blessing before studying.
Thanks to this, the magic training was quite effective even while riding the beast. Surprisingly, his knowledge level rose as he continued to practice magic.
Helen and Grünent speculated that it was accepted as a form of training because they used magic while their concentration had risen through a blessing, rather than using it without thinking.
So.
Since starting this training, the knowledge stat has risen by 1!!
It’s a tremendous speed considering that he started training for the simultaneous realization of magic just three days ago.
“… Did you think of anything good?”
The sound of horses hooves echoed on the road.
He is the lord of the West Blood.
We are currently moving to Xeno in Seohyeolryeong.
It is a fortified city on the border on the border with Merde, not far from the Dark Forest, where the armistice agreement will be held.
Merde refused to end the war, but accepted the armistice. They could have been angry at you for not breaking the truce last time, but the damage they suffered last year was too great for them to stretch out like that.
Even in this situation, the reason why the war does not end is that it is still unable to give up crystals or dark forest seeds.
“Hmm. I was just thinking about this and that.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen His Majesty smile.”
“Hmm.”
The wagon and horsemen were walking at a fairly fast pace. However, the centaur lord continued to walk for several hours without lagging behind that speed.
Because centaurs couldn’t ride in wagons.
Besides, his long spear was something that could not be easily carried in the luggage compartment. In the end, he heads for Zeno like a mercenary with his own weapon on his back.
A figure not seen as a great lord.
“Even the way you smile resembles His Majesty the previous emperor. Do you know?”
“Is it?”
The indifferent answer made the Archduke Jeokru look at Roan as if he was slightly surprised.
“… You have changed a lot too.”
“Hmm?”
“Because he got annoyed when I brought up the story of His Majesty the former emperor.”
No this guy…
You mean he said it knowing it would irritate him?
But if you think about it, he is a person who is close to his father’s friend. Even if the demon king tried to cut his head, it didn’t seem like he would give it up easily.
For a different reason than the Southern Dark Spirit, it seems that the (former) demon king avoided this West Blood Spirit.
However, now I don’t feel the need to avoid the story of the previous demon king.
Rather, it’s a good opportunity to ask about the farming plan of the former emperor, which was discussed while talking with the Eastern Emperor’s Wine last time.
“The Grand Duke.”
“Yes. Your majesty.”
“They had a deep relationship with the former emperor.”
Grand Duke Jeokru, whose eyes were really surprised, soon turned into a vague expression.
“It reminds me of when I was at Hazard 30 years ago.”
… Oh, what a start…
Not good…
Roan looked at the West Blood Lord with ominous eyes, but he had already started the engine.
Some of the knights of Seohyeolryeong escorting the carriage sent eyes mixed with laughter and sympathy. It seems that he is usually hit by his TMT.
Roan smiled and began to listen to his story. This is entertainment for adults.
“It was the time when I had just joined the Central Knights. At that time, the Templars were divided into two factions…”
And Roan heard about the history of the Central Knights for the next 30 minutes.
The main point came only after that.
“It was a huge wyvern I had never seen before. Everyone, including me, looked down on the wyvern, but I wonder if it would have been like that if there was a dragon that has disappeared.”
It is said that the Central Knights went with the former emperor to capture the wyvern that appeared near Hazark. However, due to lack of preparation, Wyvern was defeated.
It is never easy to capture a huge animal rather than kill it.
“Then the emperor appeared and started fighting the wyverns.”
“Hoo.”
“It was great wrestling.”
“… Uh?”
The West Blood Lord, surprised by Roan’s voice, and the West Blood Lord, surprised by the words of the West Blood Lord, looked at each other.
“Wyvern… Wyvern is wrestling… Is it a target?”
Haha. I understand. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it myself. Your majesty.”
The Grand Duke chuckled.
“The former emperor was able to practice Spiritualism. It was unknown what he nested in, but he jumped at the wyvern with a bigger body than the current leader of the Central Knights.”
“Ah…”
As if convinced, Roan nodded his head.
Spiritualism is possible. Because magic is like a miracle in this world.
“I still like the look of the wyvern who looked tired of seeing the former emperor. After exchanging attacks with each other several times, he suddenly put his arm around the side of the wyvern and lifted the big body of the wyvern as if to put it on his shoulder.”
… No way…
“And just like that, His Majesty and the Wyvern collapsed backwards. I remember half the forest being blown away by a huge storm and a roar. Some of us passed out from the shock.”
… Is it a backdrop to the wyvern…
What a mess.
“As it was, he held down the wyvern and strangled him with his arm. The Wyvern struggled with its wings, but resistance was pointless. In the end, the Wyvern surrendered to His Majesty and the Central Knights returned alive.”
I have a naive question.
“Where is that wyvern now… ?”
A shadow instantly falls on Seohyeolryeongju’s face.
“Before the duel, the Northern Baekryungju of the former era killed him.”
Ah.
It was a duel for the throne of the emperor.
The Grand Duke adds.
“He was a child to His Majesty at the time, and I heard that he suddenly woke up right after that. You probably have a hard time remembering it properly.”
“Hmm.”
That’s why my memory is hazy.
Demons awaken their strength by the time they reach adulthood.
It is an awakening that is a little stronger for normal demons, but when it comes to nobles, there is a difference in power enough to say that people change before and after that.
In proportion to that power, the memories before and after awakening become blurred.
And (former) around the time of the demon king’s awakening, the former emperor died after being challenged by the former North Baekryeongju. Shortly thereafter, Empress Seon kills the Northern Baengnyeongju and dies. The reason is to protect the prince who has just come of age.
The signatures of the former emperor and his wife could be found in the librarian, but it was questionable why I was able to take over the emperor’s position after that.
It seems that the young prince suddenly awakened to be the strongest at an earlier age than expected.
It’s a sad family affair.
Maybe that’s why she was dubious when she asked Aranya, and the librarian didn’t write about that period in detail. (Former) The Demon King may have issued a mutiny order.
When I kept my mouth shut, the Grand Duke tried to change the subject, perhaps trying to comfort me.
“Anyway, he was a great person. His Majesty on that day was truly like a demon. In the end, the captured wyvern also urinated for a long time and couldn’t flap his wings, so we all walked together to Basel. Haha.”
… Maybe the Wyvern got caught in a headlock and suffered brain damage for a while… ?
“Even though he was a little harsh, he was a warm person. An emperor who jumps in to save a knight’s life.”
Idiot knights are consumables for the emperor.
However, the sun emperor jumped in for the weak. It’s a bit strange to think
Looking back at vague memories, I remember being hugged by someone big or stroking my hair.
I also remember playing with you.
The end is always painful, so I cry…
“I seem to have memories of being scolded by the former emperor.”
Seohyeollord was surprised and laughed shyly.
“Haha. Yes. She was always scolded by Her Highness. Your Highness the Prince… Because you play so aggressively with His Majesty, and you always get hurt somewhere after playing.”
“Okay. Broken arm, broken leg.”
Unknowingly, a smile appeared on Roan’s face. Memories of parents that are faint even in reality.
However, even if it is a memory of the (former) demon king, when I think of the warm scene left in my head, I miss it and feel happy.
If those memories were destroyed overnight… People can be broken enough.
“I heard that the former emperor intended to cultivate.”
At Roan’s question, the Seohyeol Lord opened her eyes wide.
“How do you know?”
“The Eastern Emperor’s Lord delivered it to me.”
“Duke…”
The Archduke nodded his head.
“Yes. He actively encouraged clearing land and tried to cultivate it.”
“By the way, did it fail?”
“Yes. It wasn’t easy.”
A bitter smile caught the mouth of the high lord.
“I kidnapped a priest from Merde and asked him about it.”
“… Mmm.”
Since they are a demon without a priest, the only way to ask about blessings is to kidnap someone… I just can’t help but understand
“What did you say?”
“They say that all of their intellect has been used up.”
Roan frowned.
I don’t know much about farming, but I get what you mean.
Nutrients in the soil are limited.
When crops draw in nutrients to grow, nutrients that are not replenished are used up.
“They say there is no way to recover.”
“At that time. Yes. I tried using various medicines, but they said that the consumption of intelligence was fast. I could have prevented it by blessing it with divine magic…”
“I couldn’t have blessed every farmland.”
“That’s right.”
For a while, only the sound of horses’ hooves and the plodding of beasts could be heard on the street.
A calm winter day with no wind.
The fields on both sides of the road to Zeno are barren.
Looking at it, Roan’s heart was heavy.
Even after that, the Sun Emperor continued his efforts.
It was not a publicized policy, but the traces of his efforts remain as records.
In the end, his idea didn’t come true.
“Your majesty.”
Roan turned his head.
His lips, which he had been biting involuntarily, trembled.
“Hmm.”
“The former emperor was not a demon-like person.”
A statement worthy of fury even if spoken in front of any demon. However, there was no hint of ridicule on the face of Seohyeol Ryeongju.
“He liked taking care of the weak, and he wanted to feed the people.”
“Hmm?”
… Is that why you say that the former emperor and the current me look alike?
“Yes. Looking back, His Majesty the former Emperor may have had similar thoughts to His Majesty now.”
“…”
“That’s why I respected the late emperor.”
Roan suddenly stopped his spell.
The West Blood Lord, who walked a few more steps without knowing that Roan had stopped, looked back at Roan.
A great lord who rises above everyone with stronger power than anyone else. But he also had his weak days, and he missed Jun who took care of him.
“At that time, I was a weak knight and a local lord. Your majesty.”
The centaur turned completely to face the emperor.
“But now I am the lord of West Blood. I rule over a quarter of Evirzio.”
The carriage stopped, and all the knights stopped.
“So, don’t hesitate where you want to go. Your majesty. Please use me freely as your shield. In the end, the former emperor was caught by the lords. Your Majesty, please do not follow the former emperor’s footsteps.”
A long remorse is contained in the voice
His words trembled low.
“I regretted it. Something that could not be the strength of His Majesty the former emperor. As per His Majesty’s will, His Highness the Prince… For not being by His Majesty’s side. Not being able to properly feed the people given to me.”
As strong as a wall covered in the blood of enemies
A brave warrior who has defended the border for a long time.
So that,
A title given honorably to his title.
Red roof.
“Your Majesty, go the way you want. I will guard the way with my life.”
“You and me too. You will not regret it.”
A wilderness submerged in silence.
The emperor’s voice contained his will.
Knights raising red flags from afar were approaching to greet the emperor.
