Chapter 147 – 1. Talos, and the Spear and Shield (1)
Looking at YuRia shuffling the cards, Delis tilted her head.
She had never seen Yuria swip her card before, so while wondering where she had come from, YuRia was looking at Dellis, perhaps feeling Delis’ gaze.
“I wonder where the card came from?”
“That’s right. I’ve never seen anyone buy one. Above all, the feeling of the card is very different from the cards I know.”
“Of course. This is not bought.”
YuRia, holding the cards as they were, focused for a moment, and the cards soon turned into a single page of parchment.
“Ah…”
“Yes. It’s a magic tool made from the pages of the Book of Magic. In the previous case, the penalty was not resolved properly, so I suffered more severely than necessary. Because this won’t go away”
She dug it up again and converted the pages of the book into cards. YuRia calmed down and started shuffling her cards.
“In other words, this is a means of communication with cause and effect.”
“Causal and causal?”
“It’s not an exact expression, but it’s roughly similar.
YuRia, who took out her cards and put them on the table and flipped them one by one, her expression greatly distorted.
“As expected”
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know the details. If you know that, it’s not foreknowledge, it’s prophecy. This is an aid to foreknowledge.”
Since there is too much information about the future you see, it is used to intentionally reduce sensitivity and lower sensitivity, and to limit information to make it easier to see.
Nuri, who came next to her, heard her words and opened her mouth.
“Excess is unpaid… Too much is as bad as not enough, right?”
“That’s right. This card is for that purpose.”
The contents of the cards all looked hideous and ominous.
YuRia, who was shuffling the cards again, took out the cards again and placed them on the desk in a different arrangement than before, turning her cards over.
“Oppression by those in power”
YuRia, who frowned for a while, let out a sigh, wondering if she had found the information in her wisdom.
“It seems that the Shelton Kingdom noticed that I taught the Gash Kingdom this and that. They are planning to make me create a new Titan made by the Gash Kingdom.”
There is no answer in many ways.
The reason why the Gashu United Kingdom was able to create the latest generation of Titans was because they were different races that far surpassed humans in their respective fields.
It was because they could easily find rare metals compared to humans and had the ability to perform difficult and complicated metal refinements that are impossible for humans in this era.
No matter how knowledgeable it is, it is impossible for humans in this era.
Even if I was asked to suddenly make ironware from the ground, would that be normal? Of course, Yuria herself could do it.
Even more, the level of metal and the level of magic used in the 2nd generation Titan surprised even Yuria a little.
Of course, if you decide on your own, you can make any number of aircraft that are superior to that, but if you do, sanctions will come again right away. This time, it will not end at the level of being torn apart alive.
This time, it was because they felt that the level of armored vehicles, which are mobile houses made for personal use, was just barely within the safety zone.
“Then, is it right to apply for the kingdom or not?”
When one of the five cards was turned over, a hand came out that said, “It’s not right, it’s better.”
Right, better, neutral, bad, wrong.
In other words, this wasn’t a good thing for me, but I had to do it if I didn’t want to look bad.
I shuffled the cards again and this time I came up with how much to help.
As far as they can.
At those words, Yuria let out a sigh and decided on her course of action.
I can’t help it.
For my children to live on this land, I will have to lay the foundation.
If only me and Loa were going to live, it wouldn’t matter if we brushed off the country and went somewhere else.
After thinking about it for a while, YuRia suddenly had an idea.
Should I just take the children and relocate to the Gashu Kingdom?
But for that, the grace she received from her adoptive father was too great.
“Hah really … The things that were so improvised in the past are caught like this.”
In this world, I didn’t really want anything, so I’ve always lived spontaneously.
In the first place, I was too anxious about my own life to hope for anything, and I want to be happy with Roa. Because I didn’t want anything other than to stop suffering.
The time when lives were at stake is over. There were three very precious children born between him and Roa, so he began to regret the days he lived too thoughtlessly in the past.
YuRia, who had been thinking about her soreness for a while, thought ah, she was a baby who was less than a year old yet, but on the other hand, she remembered her own daughter who was greater than herself.
Come to think of it, it was almost time to nurse her, so Yuria thought that she should ask her daughter for advice while nursing her.
* * *
Seeing Tia sucking her own breast with all her might, Yuria smiled at her.
“Hey Tia, her mom’s a little worried, so she said, Can she talk to Tia?”
Tia, who was sucking vigorously with her eyes tightly closed, opened her eyes as if she was still sucking on her breasts, asking what was going on.
“It seems like I’ve been living my life without thinking too much. Because of that, I’ve been in a bit of a difficult situation this time…”
“It’s a Titan problem.”
As expected, like Thebenoa, the human god worshiped by the empire that almost dominates this continent, Tia seemed to see through everything.
“Huh”
「Is there anything special? I have no choice but to simplify it as much as possible to a level that can be made by human hands and give it to them as a minor grade.”
Even the material from which it is made. Processing technology. Even the ability to handle all of that.
Even those heterogeneous tribes are clinging to the field they can do best, and the best specialists in that field have barely developed the current Titan, but what if humans were asked to develop something of that level alone?
Someday you will succeed
Yuria also has no intention of ignoring the human potential and capabilities.
But wouldn’t it be enough to take hundreds of years to get there by ordinary means?
Moreover, with the current situation on the continent, it may not be possible to achieve it even if it takes a lifetime.
More than anything else, the Empire rules magic lights as heresy.
Then wait a minute. An empire, an empire…
“No, I do not want. Even if they are mothers, they are like my children.”
“Grunt…”
As a mother, she couldn’t be bothered by her daughter’s children.
After all, if she is Tia’s child, then she is also her own grandchild.
“But at least I’ll tell you not to attack Selton first while Mom and Hosea and Joshua are around. But only until her brother’s generation.”
“Thank you my daughter”
“Or not… We will eradicate discrimination against people with different abilities and different races, so will your mother come to Sorby too? Then I can protect you better.”
In the meantime, Yuria is ah! And looked at Tia.
“Come to think of it, why did you discriminate against different races and abilities?”
At those words, Tia closed her eyes and pecked even harder! Jjook!! And started sucking her breasts, and in the wind, Yuria said ‘Sss!?’ And groaned softly.
“Eh, is it difficult to say?”
“It is not yet time for this either. Someday, even your mother will find out, so please wait a little.”
“Hey, T-aya? Uh, Mom, it looks like it’s going to be weird. Ahh? That, stop, just like usual… Huh?”
YuRia’s face turned bright red at the sound of her voice leaking out without her knowledge.
Hey, what kind of embarrassing thing is this? She felt her breastfeeding the child…
Oh, she must have heard no one?
And Yuria just opened her door and came in. Roa, who was making a strange expression on her face, turned white.
Oh my…
Looking at Tia, who was asleep, she sighed and let out a sigh.
After explaining her situation, Roa just smiled and didn’t look at her strangely, but YuRia’s face was still hot.
“You’re angry because you keep bothering me while eating”
“That’s right…”
She was wrong
“So Tia wants us to come to the Empire? She says she will stop discriminating against magic and other races if she wants to?”
“Yeah… Actually, that’s the most troublesome part of living in the Empire.”
She was a little reluctant to take only herself, Loa, and her three sons and daughters.
If I really had to, I would have to go to the Empire with only Roa and her children…
“And there’s a big part I still don’t quite understand, but there must be a reason why Tia chose only her humans, and she says it has something to do with the future, right?”
“Yes. Under the circumstances, yes.”
Something that should have happened has not happened yet.
And that must happen.
“Anyway, Tia can see and intervene more deeply than me, so she must have more restrictions than me. It’s like I feel for Tia what the loa feel for me.”
At those words, Loa quietly looked at the sleeping Tia.
“God… You said that Yuria is also something close to a god, but not a god, right?”
“Half-body, that’s what it feels like. The term ‘half-body’ isn’t quite right.”
“About the 5.5th dimension that Yuria can interfere with? I don’t understand what that means, but if you look at it that way as an indicator of how high-level the area is, then how far does Tia go?”
YuRia hesitated and thought for a while before opening her mouth.
“The 7.5th dimension. Probably about that.”
“Then what the hell is Tia looking at…”
YuRia thought about it for a long time before opening her mouth for the first time with an expression as if lamenting her own incompetence.
“I do not know either”
Really. That realm of hers was completely outside her own cognition.
Above all, it was only in the 5.5 dimension that interference was possible. After all, she herself was only a living being within the third dimension.
She has a sneak peek up to the 6th dimension, but beyond that was an unknown territory for Yuria after all.
I just understand how it is.
Meanwhile, Yuria suddenly had a strong idea that she might have to go to her empire.
Tia was unable to force herself due to some restrictions on her, and Yuria thought hard once again, thinking that she might have communicated that she had to do so, and that she would be good for herself, even if it was a little too much for her.
Is she going to have to repay her kindness and head for the Empire, even if she somehow compensates the Count?
“Hmm…”
YuRia, who had been thinking about it for a long time, saw a house she was very attached to.
This is the house where Loa’s mother and her father lived.
Humans are animals of adaptation.
I wondered if it was right to leave this place while being a little surprised at myself for truly considering this ancient building, which could hardly be considered a home.
“What do you think of Loa?”
“Hmm…”
Now, Crea’s organization has lost its power, and considering that her own daughter is the owner of the Sorby Empire, I wondered if it would be bad to take advantage of her daughter, but Loa also glanced at her and looked at the house she was living in now.
Although it has gone through several repairs, little of the old look remains, but even so, this house was a precious legacy left to them by their parents.
Even so, how would it be compared to Yuria and her precious sons and daughters?
Seeing Roa contemplating her long time, Yuria opened her card again.
How about going to the kingdom?
Ugly.
What if I stay here like this?
Ugly.
“…”
If so, staying here and going to the empire.
Which of the two would be better?
The card that was turned over with a sigh appeared a card that meant an empire.
YuRia tried her fortune one last time.
So, which one is better for children?
Again, this card represented an empire.
“Whoa…”
Is it unavoidable She has no choice but to leave for the empire after somehow introducing a good and genuine woman to the count and giving great strength to the count’s family.
If it’s their own problem, they may be able to overcome it, but if the children get caught, the story will change.
While thinking about how to solve this, Yuria thought of Titan.
What will happen to Yuria, who has set her direction for her foreknowledge, if she turns her county into a mecca for the titans.
A lot of different results came out, but in the end, it was concluded that this way would be better for her to take a more proper place in the Empire.
Even if Thebenoa loosens regulations on magic or other races, there is nothing to make a big deal right now, and if I succeed as a titan in Selton, I feel that I can be invited to the empire in a good way as an authority on related technologies. Was developing
She said that it would be better to provide card divination technology anyway, but Yuria thought about the different conditions for each divination, and she took a closer look at her prediction.
More broadly. More diversified. More comprehensively.
Yuria let out a sigh at the end as she dug in earnest, as never before had she ever looked out with her resolve this far.
Even for Tia’s sake, she needed to succeed in Shelton Kingdom.
It would be burdensome for Tia to suddenly change her tone for no reason.
Tia also needs time to prepare for what’s to come.
She had already checked in various ways, but as a final touch, she checked with a card.
How long would it be good to go to the Empire?
Minimum, most appropriate, maximum.
10 years at the earliest. The titration did not come out. Up to 20 years.
“20 years”
Good.
It will be enough time for her father to introduce her new mother and for the new heir to be born and settle down.
In a way, it seemed like enough time, but on the other hand, time was really tight.
20 years…
In the meantime, time was very tight for the county to have the ability to develop and produce second-generation titans on its own.
As it is a machine that was barely made by elves, dwarves, and other races with basic abilities that transcend humans in their respective fields, they had to subdivide and educate in-depth major fields in the basic fields to follow them.
In addition, Titan itself is a very expensive material that goes into a large amount, so it was also a reasonable level of funding.
After deciding what to do, I felt even more helpless.
Even if it’s a very simple aircraft for him, he couldn’t figure out what to do if he wanted people of this era to make it.
Starting from basic education, I did not have a sense of how much each field should be subdivided and skilled.
“Should I build a mage tower first? If I want to research metal precision processing and various alloy technologies…”
Umm, thinking for a moment, YuRia glanced at Cashwyn with her glance.
It’s a little too much to be used as a Tower, but uhm…
Cashwyn tilted her head as YuRia looked at her with her strange eyes.
Cashwin didn’t know.
She said that at this time she had to run away.
Although she gained immense fame on all continents through Yuria, she did not know at this time that she would suffer from overwork every day.
Cashwyn wondered why she was blank at this time, and she always regretted it.
* * * * *
“Huh? You want to build a new academy in my estate?”
Her adoptive father, Count Baran, looked at her and stroked her beard.
“Yes. The new magic I developed is easier and more intuitive than the existing magic, so it is more useful in many ways. I think it will definitely be of great help to the manor.”
“Then why do you want to put it on my territory and not yours?”
Yuria smiled and brought out her prepared words.
“Anyway, our estate is located in a very remote place and lacks basic infrastructure.”
“Hmm…”
When the count looked at Yuria with an expression that he thought she was not alone, Yuria looked at the count with a helpless expression.
“To tell the truth, I want to repay the Count. I’m trying to hurry because I think I’ll have to leave for the Empire in the not-so-long future, if not sooner.”
“…”
The count made a slightly disappointed expression.
“Yes. I never thought I’d be here all my life, but I didn’t think that day would come already.”
“But even so, it will take at least 10 years for me to leave this place. I think it will be 20 years at the latest. And I have also thought of a woman to introduce to the Count.”
The Count hates him? And looked at YuRia.
There, a woman dressed in a fine dress was bowing to the Count, taking her bow with a slightly immature attitude.
“I am Karna, the administrator and healer of the Black Wolf Mercenaries.”
She looked a little older, but even so, the Count looked at her with dismay at the woman’s appearance, as if she had barely passed her marriageable age.
“I never imagined that the person I would face would be the Count I wished for…”
“That’s the same for me. I could never have imagined that the flower of the black wolf, which was formed by retired knights and soldiers, would have been my opponent.”
The Count was a little taken aback by this arrangement, which was not even scheduled, but he thought the conditions were not worse than he thought.
He could be trusted if he was the administrator of a huge mercenary corps with a high credibility like the Black Wolf, and he could also be trusted in the role of a lady in charge of assisting the territory.
“Miss Karna. Then I’ll ask. I think Miss Karna is enough to take me as my wife, but what does Miss Karna think of me?”
“I don’t know if I love the Count. But since I’m old enough, it’s true that I was looking for a good husband, and I think I can trust the person Yuria introduced me to.”
At that, the Earl held out his hand, and Karna took it with a slightly concerned expression.
“Then I’ll have to try my best for my daughter’s credit.”
“That’s really me…?”
“It’s the same thing that I have to hurry up and produce future generations, so it’s all the same that I can’t afford to argue about this and that. But I have no intention of neglecting my wife.”
Karna wondered if she was the kind of person Yuria would introduce to a count who was so different from the common aristocrats she knew, and she decided to think of this meeting more positively.
Looking at the two of them like that, Yuria gave a slightly sorry expression, but she let out a sigh of relief at the two of them being better than expected.
Feeling a little sorry for the match she arranged spontaneously like this, Yuria thought that she should work harder for her territory.
‘This is going to take a little bit of hard work’
Still, there seemed to be no problem leaving Shelton with Hosea at this rate.
Should I just pray that Mr. Karna will quickly give birth to a son?
YuRia looked at Tia, who was staring at her, and she smiled a little awkwardly.
Come to think of it, should I pray for my daughter?
「I won’t listen」
Haha… 」
「If you offer a thousand cows, I’ll think about it」
“Daughter… Isn’t that a bit much?”
「Mom… Being a mother can’t even give her daughter pocket money?」
YuRia was dripping with cold sweat.
That, that’s it…
A mother who can’t give her daughter an allowance…
“No, I’ll try.”
「Then, when the rice is cooked, I’ll try my hand at it. Instead, sacrifices must be made」
She was relieved and Yuria let out a sigh as she agonized over how to get a thousand cows so that she could offer them up as a sacrifice.
“Ha, is it possible to pay in installments?”
「… Since you are my mother, I will give you special permission」
“Sorry… 」
Who would say that this is a dialogue between God and man?
However, this bizarre conversation was able to be established with a truly delicate relationship.
