Chapter 1518 – Open Ceremony
That’s how I was stripped of my permanent residence.
…
I don’t think the same thing will happen.
The words of the Knights of Suruta were like police officers who had come to escort a criminal, but their voices seemed extremely polite and apologetic, and their eyes showed a slight sense of fear.
“Hmm…”
The knights flinch at my moans.
That moment.
Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo.
A mighty power bloomed around me.
The wave of energy mixed with Aldia’s powerful spirit power and Hakjinmu’s ghost power was so powerful that even I could not handle it.
Among these, Lulua, who may be the weakest in terms of force, is also quite capable.
And even though they do nothing and just watch from afar, they overwhelm everything just by standing there.
From the knights’ point of view, it would feel like they have entered a deadly situation.
“Sleep. Stop.”
The pressure disappeared as if my words were a lie.
The breath that the knights of Suruta had been holding. I exhaled.
At that moment, Lulua spoke.
“I will bring the heads of the family.”
When the names of the heads of the ten families were mentioned, the knights’ faces became paler.
Of course, Lulua doesn’t really intend to bring them back, but rather puts pressure on them mentally.
I waved my hand saying it was okay.
“It’s okay, Lulua. Thank you. Then, Suruta. First, would you like to talk leisurely in a comfortable place?”
“…”
The knights’ faces became even paler.
… Why?
My voice was very kind?
There are strange people who think my gentle smile is scary, so I didn’t even smile on purpose?
[Drehem must never smile. It is the harm of the world and an absolute evil.]
Shut up.
At that time, Kaitz, who had been quietly watching, stepped forward.
“The lord’s words do not mean that we will do anything to you, but rather that we should talk purely. If you find it difficult to believe, it would be okay to talk to me instead of the lord.”
“Ah, ah… That…”
The drivers noticed me, so I nodded that it was okay.
“Thank you. I will…”
What is it?
Did you really think I was going to drag you somewhere and torture you?
I don’t do things like that unless they are trash!!
[On the contrary, if you are trash, you are torturing yourself.]
Noisy!!
After the small commotion was over, I waited for Kaitz to arrive.
I was worried that I might get a call from Suruta, so I waited without even being able to entertain people.
Scaldia. Why did that bitch get upset again this time…?
About two hours later. I felt Kaitz standing in front of the lord’s room door.
[My friend Hiro Kaitsu enters.]
?
Friend?
Friend?
“What kind of bullshit is that?”
[Sorry. Did it make you feel uncomfortable?]
Even though it’s an AI, it sounds scared. It’s a foul.
Feeling guilty, I shook my head.
“No. I’m sorry. Will you let me in?”
Kaitz said as he entered the lord’s room.
“He’s my friend. He’s doing cute things.”
I hit him.
After knocking her down, she wrapped her head in her arms and stomped on the guy who was like a caterpillar, but the smile on his face did not disappear.
When I got tired and quit first, Kaitz got up and brushed himself off as if nothing had happened.
I’m so pissed.
“It looks like the Empress has grown horns.”
“Again?”
It’s not even once or twice that she’s suddenly gone crazy, so I’m not surprised anymore.
I’m just curious as to why horns grew this time.
“Why? I didn’t cling to Ji?”
“Very accurate.”
“No. That girl is not some kind of elementary school student.”
Since Skaldia didn’t reply, the administrators of my territory sent invitations several times.
It’s not just a manager.
I’m the manager, but Aldiana Lulua, and Hakjinmu are almost on equal footing with me.
Even Scaldia, who boasts about being the Empress, can never do anything wrong with these three.
Lulua is a major character who is the fiancé of Prince Dolia, who will become the next head of the dwarves.
Although Hakjin’s people are becoming more and more popular, she has proven her skills by destroying the beasts of the earth, which is rumored to be an ancient palace and is collapsing. In the first place, it is common knowledge that a weapon master equivalent to a sword master is treated better than the king of the Enganhan Kingdom.
Aldia is the head of the elves.
In my opinion, Aldia is not at all inferior to Scaldia. In terms of scarcity, Aldia’s status may actually be higher.
“Because the Empress does as she pleases.”
It is said that the Empress sent her knights and told them not to change a word of her word.
That was the reason why the knights were anxious and apologetic but spoke oppressive lines.
Even though she wanted to speak politely and report falsely, she had no choice because the Empress could see through lies like a ghost.
“The Empress may have a childlike personality, but her influence can never be ignored.”
That is correct.
The influence of the Sruta Empire on the star-studded countries on this vast planet is enormous.
Because she is the head of the country and has the same power as a dictator.
“Also. Her brain is working well, too. You know she’s not really trying to pretend to be with you.”
That’s also true.
That woman really has no intention of fighting with me.
This is some kind of prank.
Even if I go to extremes and try to kill her, she is basically stronger than me.
It would be a different story if I took the god penalty and applied all kinds of buffs such as score skills, but I am a super strong person who deserves that much blood loss.
I hate her personality and her spirit, but the extremes she has achieved. I only respect the level of swordplay that tears even the heart of a human being with a sword.
Also. The Calzabog Empire that I destroyed was self-sufficient by playing among themselves, so it had no effect on the surrounding area whether it fell or not, but if Sruta falls, there will be many countries that will also fall.
Even if you fight with the Empress just in case, your appetite will be sore later.
Of course, I have no intention of destroying it.
“However, even if I don’t have any intention of completely snubbing you, I’m sure I’ll do whatever it takes to just nudge you. For example, rolling out a system to reduce the number of tourists.”
My territory was originally the land of Suruta.
Although this land has been completely given to me, the means of applying pressure are endless.
“It’s a gesture to ask you to bow appropriately and come in. What are you going to do?”
“I’ll take care of Scaldia. Rather…”
“Ah. You mean that guy?”
Kaitzu’s face was colored with displeasure.
It looks almost expressionless, but it’s amazing that this guy’s face has changed so much.
“Speaking of which, let’s go see it.”
The guy stretched out his hand.
“Why the hands?”
“You have to catch it to move smoothly.”
“Fuck…”
I closed my eyes and held out my hand.
At the moment when I felt aversion to the feel of Kaitzu’s hand, we were already at the amusement park.
Right after I let go. Kaitz used his power to prevent tourists and residents from recognizing us.
“It’s around here…”
Garcinido and Intangible were attached to watch over the man.
Aside from being intangible with zero presence, Garcinido’s presence is nearby, so he must be there too…
Ah. Found.
Bao and Muhyeong were walking side by side.
“Wow. A haunted house. It feels so real.”
“That’s right. It was well-made.”
“Mr. Intangible, please buy me that this time.”
“No money?”
“Ah. I’ll pay you back later~”
“I don’t want to spend money on a man… It’s not my money, so that’s why.”
What is it?
Bao and Muhyeong are playing better than expected.
In particular, Bao even wears a cat headband on his head…
“Extremely disgusting!!”
Boom!
“Wow!!”
Avoiding a surprise kick!
Bao, who was holding ice cream in both hands, hid behind the shapeless figure.
And the incorporeal person grabbed Bao by the scruff of his neck and held it out to me.
“Ah, such a traitor?!”
“As expected, intangible. I trusted you!”
“What is it? That unpleasant face.”
Intangible made a dumbfounded face, and Kaits approached.
“Did you say Bao?”
“Yes, a true warrior. I think you look even more handsome after seeing Yongan up close.”
“Thank you. Then, let’s talk.”
“Yep.”
Following Bao’s strong wishes, we decided to talk while walking through the circus or parade streets where strange machines perform tricks.
Worried that Bao might make an unexpected move, the entire hero party was present in all directions as if to guard him.
However, our Bao is very fast and eats cotton candy with ease.
“There are a total of 11 freshmen executives.”
Kaitz listened to the story that suddenly started.
They pretend not to be intangible, but their eyes are tangible.
It has to be that way.
Because the new student was the cause of the death of my father, whom I thought we could barely reconcile with.
Also. The reason why my half-dead younger brother, whose resurrection is not yet certain, is in that state is because he is a freshman.
“No. There are ten now. Kang Baek-han was killed by Judo Hak.”
Huh? That bastard left?
“Uh. Is Seonbae-im dead? Weren’t you the freshmen who rescued him?”
“I did. That nobleman’s will to fight was completely broken. Even so, he even took out the SS-class sword and caused massive bleeding to the organization, but it was no longer useful, so how could that hot-tempered nobleman from Judo Hak endure it?”
It seems that this guy named Judo Hak is at the top of the list of executives.
“Eleven people?”
Kaitz looked suspiciously.
“As far as I know, the number of rankers who went to the other world must be twice that number, right?”
“Ah. There’s no way all of those people can be in the freshman class. Ah, you there. Give me those walnut snacks…”
When Raeband, who was called by Bao, glared at Bao, Bao apologized with a scared look on his face. He said and a bit into the chocolate ice cream he was holding.
“Mmmm. Anyway, I think there aren’t many really strong players who can deal with you among the new students. Five? Four? Among them, the one you should pay special attention to is the Blood Lord who was active 8,000 years ago.”
“Blood Lord. Is it Layers?”
Why are you talking about something only you know?
“That nobleman is of a different class. Other than that, Judoism is a bit stronger, and the folk tales are also useful.”
“How many tales do you have?”
“Dozens?”
The scholar older brother who was walking in front muttered, “There are a lot of them…”
“But you’ve destroyed all the good-quality folk tales, and you’re keeping a check on them, so they don’t fall into our hands anymore, right? It’s been a bit difficult for us these days~”
“Is there a story about a beast of the collapsing earth?”
“There are three more. We call them SR-class.”
The warrior party was shocked.
It would be a bit scary if not one but three monsters attacked at the same time.
Also, if there are four SR classes, how many stories are there for the SSS classes or SS classes below them?
“Ah, don’t worry. SR can only be controlled to a certain extent. It’s strong enough that we have to take risks, so we can’t use it carelessly. It’s not as strong as the beast of the collapsing earth.”
The number of S-class stories below does not add up to ten.
SS rather than SR. The number of SSS grade tales is small.
“It’s hard to find the ghost-level lore that went to Grindel. It’s strong. It’s easy to control. SR lore is usually found by clients in the first place.”
“Hey.”
Intangible grinned.
“You speak so obediently?”
“Because I want to live~”
“Is that so?”
In addition to the intangibles, we were all wary of Bao.
This chinese guy. As if the restrictions were over, my strength returned.
But that power is much stronger than you think.
I told you earlier to be careful of the guy called Judo and the Blood Lord, but in my opinion, you should be careful of this guy too.
Kaitz narrowed his eyes.
“What did you get for it?”
Bao answered questions that seemed meaningless at first glance.
“With strong support, we become the favorites to win the race. Why would we come back after running away to another world?”
“The rankers who got sick of the race and left for another world will now come back and participate in the race again?”
“Well, yes. But…”
Bao frowned.
“The feeling of discomfort doesn’t go away…”
“A sense of discomfort?”
“We have a client who supports our new students. One of them is the Death Demon Lord Hardesh.”
The hero party was once again surprised by the name of the big name that appeared.
“The story of the beast of the collapsing earth was also found by that gentleman.”
“… As expected. Is it him? I guess he got it while chasing the monster king.”
Kaitsu muttered and asked Bao with his eyes who the other one was.
“Oh. I don’t know one person.”
“…”
Kaits glanced at me.
“Is it true?”
“I judged my power that way too.”
“What are these people? Are they living lie judges?”
Bao sighed as he exaggeratedly shrank his body.
“I have no idea who the other client is. Why did we do it in the first place…”
Homun spoke to Bao, who stopped mid-sentence and looked up at the sky.
“It seems like you have less loyalty to the organization than I thought? Would you like to work with us?”
“No~~”
Bao grinned.
“Why? Is it loyalty?”
“It’s not to protect my loyalty, but if I become your spy, won’t the freshmen seniors try to kill me~?”
“Speaking of that, it seems like you’re only giving away key information such as organizational charts, members, secret weapons, etc. Would you like to tell me where your headquarters is?”
“Ah. I don’t know the exact location, but this is it.”
Bao held up a key.
“There are invisible warp gates all over the world. You can enter through this key.”
At that moment, the kites and the intangible moved,
Crackling.
Bao’s key broke in his grasp.
I can’t believe you reacted before those two people’s surprise attack.
After all, this kid. It’s quite good.
“… Do you want to die?”
Raeband let out a fierce voice.
Bao waved his hand as if he was scared.
“Ah. I told you earlier. I don’t want to die. You guys want to hear more from me, so I won’t kill you, right? And I’m pretty cooperative, right?”
“Ha”
Homun let out a laugh.
“I’m not going to stick to anything and put my own safety first? Isn’t that too light?”
“Your life is the most important thing in the world, isn’t it?’
He looked at me at the end of his sentence, so I nodded.
“Yes, of course.”
“Dre!!”
As if Homun was blaming me for my positivity, he smiled and said he was sorry for calling me.
“As expected of you, Panz. I thought you were going to kill me.”
“It’s noisy, Chinese guy.”
I finally found out.
Bao. For this guy, his own safety is the most important thing… And at the same time, he has no loyalty to the organization as a new student.
No. Rather, they hope to destroy it.
And.
There is ‘suspicion’.
Maybe. He explains why he is a freshman.
I feel a sense of discomfort.
I grinned and then asked.
“Chinese. You seem to be close friends with Judo and the Lord of Blood, right?”
“Is that so?”
Bao grins.
It felt like they were trying to highlight the dangers of the two and discourage people from messing with them, but aren’t they really that precious?
Perhaps many freshmen, including Bao, did not join the freshman class of their own volition.
One other client. It’s just my guess… But if ‘Lyer, the Demon King of Lies’ did something…
“Kites.”
The scholar brother spoke.
“They say Askatlov is arriving soon?”
“Ah. Is that the case?”
“Uh. Rope-chan is here?”
You said you were giving a gift, but what kind of gift are you trying to give?
“I don’t know exactly, but if I do well, I might have a guardian.”
“… Guardian?”
What immediately comes to mind when I hear the word ‘guardian’ are the giants that exist in the subspace of the Ten House Heads’ Meeting.
“Oh my~~? Lord Dre?”
We all stopped and looked to the side when we suddenly heard a harsh voice.
There was a woman wearing fancy clothes that clearly showed the curves of her body.
The area around her chest is pierced, and her cleavage is clearly visible, making it even sexy for a priest.
She is quite a beauty…
“Who?”
She smiled brightly at my question.
“I thought I was famous, but I still have a long way to go~”
“Uh…”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Esdra, and I am a candidate for Cardinal of Prosperity Church.”
She puts her hands together and tilts her head… She shows the angle where she looks the prettiest.
I have heard the name.
This woman. Prosperity Bridge’s hero, Ziggs’ wind opponent.
“… Wow. Panz. Are you being seduced by a priest? Are you cheating on me?”
A judgmental punch was thrown at Bao for talking without filtering through her brain.
