Chapter 720 – Half Man, Half Dragon (1)
A week has passed since the talks started.
During that critical period, I shaded, played in my dreams all day, woke up, ate, and had sex again… Rather, it was sent in the way of shade.
Of course, he spent his free time talking to Elisabeth and Yui Ling, and doing business at the estate.
‘Still, when others see it, it’s mostly lame.’
A meeting is taking place in my estate to determine the future of the world, but the count who has sex with his wives all day long and sleeps after throwing his work to the princess?
“It’s not just a limit, you’re a garbage aristocrat, right?”
Oh, it’s like a fucking guillotine.
In fact, wouldn’t the word impeachment be an abbreviation of bullet + nuclear bomb? I guess that son of a count should stick his neck out silently even if the princess plucks the hellish sword out of her mouth?
I’m sure Elizabeth didn’t secretly put my name on the Killing Department behind her back.
I stopped and trembled in fear that I did not know the end.
─Beep bee beep!
Beaururururut—!!
“Wow?! Hey!! Talk when it’s cold!!”
“No shit, crazy sister, ‘Ugh! It’s cheap!”
“‘Teeeng. It’s snowing~ I want semen~’ while saying bullshit? The criteria for shame are different. It’s like asking why you have good manners when you can get sick.”
“Sister. If you get semen in your eyes, won’t you go blind?”
“If someone asks why you got a pair of eyes, let’s say that her husband’s offspring impregnated her eyeballs as well.”
“Treat it, crazy nun.”
I was terrified anyway. I never shivered while kissing the Danarura duo’s warm fella.
While I was experiencing the future of the very happy Wolfheddin family in advance, the meeting, which I could only hear about how things were going, was over.
I am half saddened by the feeling that the vacation is over, and half relieved that security will be easier if the visitors to this estate are turned off.
After treating the delegation roughly and kicking it out saying, “Now go away,” Only those with personal business remained in Heathreuth.
I headed to the coast of the territory after receiving a call from some of them——Asherad Party and Elisabeth.
Shoot ah-.
The late spring sea rushes like the ebb tide.
One of the lords from the previous generation, who was obsessed with the repair of the Ammuna, said, ‘Your fishing business is over! From now on, tourism will rule this place!”
That romantic—because it’s untouched and untouched by Mother Nature—I saw crazy bitches playing chess with parasols on the beach with dignity.
What the fuck are you guys doing in my estate.
“Oh, are you here? Count Wolfheddin.”
Elizabeth waving her hand.
Is it because there are other people? Today was princess mode.
“Yes. The princess called me, so I left everything and ran.”
It’s easier to have a conversation when you’re in Ergé mode, but it’s not like you can’t say that you’re in this state. There were knights and court mages remaining as escorts, so we were polite and chatted before sitting down.
“Do you have any skills in playing on the table?”
─Exactly! Elisabeth said as she placed pieces similar to chess pieces.
“Nope. To my shame, I don’t even know the rules properly.”
“Whoops. Would it be rude to say it unexpectedly?”
Those were the words of Asherard, who was dealing with Elizabeth.
What’s strange about not being a chess master? Kaiba graduated from chess and learned dueling, so I skipped grades and started with Duelist Tech.
If I dare to ignore the copyright and spread duelism, I might be able to break the heads of these ladies with a trapping deck, but I’ll have to endure it like a forager here.
“If you don’t like brain games, join this side.”
Gildart said to me, who almost became the Duel Almighty Conquistador. – Arrive! He made a smooth sound as the cards shuffled in his hand.
“I just got tired of playing games with two people.”
“That’s an offer I’m grateful for.”
I immediately received the card and put it on the plate. Kiara, who was playing another world-style card game with Gildart, giggled.
In another world, physical sports are almost dead culture regardless of type.
Reason? Why why Until there is a big difference in physical ability.
Even if you set up our team with NBA legend players and brainwash other team members into thinking that you stole all your property, and even set the teamwork perfectly, if Captain America and Thor in basketball vests come out from the other side, they will just perish like dogs.
Because of that social situation, 99% of games in this world were board games.
A game where luck or brain decides the outcome.
It is usually a board game or card game resembling chess.
In fact, even in this combination, the high-ability wizard (+ elemental wizard) team and the low-powered warrior team are sharply divided. You can say women who like to use their hair and men who don’t.
Actually, I’m closer to the latter. Daegal empty gacha fucking hilarious.
Plucking is a good civilization. As long as I can deceive others.
“No, what do you do to make the cards come out like that from the first game? Sir Wolfheddin, did you steal the card from me?”
“Cheating the master class thief by taking out the bottom? You should have been a Tazza, not an aristocrat. Kitai’s gambling house has lost talented people.”
“From what I’ve seen, if the first hand of the gambling house came out like this, you’d have a hammer stuck in your wrist.”
“If you want to rip off my toenails, you’ll need to bring some Mjolnir.”
Sorry I’m Strong.
I swept the plate by luck. As these idiots say, if this was a real gamble, he would have been buried under a willow tree, saying, “The last thing to do is to become your own card.” It is an ecoism ending that contributes to the cycle of nature as a nutrient for trees that will become cards in the future.
But this place is not a gambling den.
It is a review of the bigger board game called politics.
“The contents of the Atlantis Treaty were captured very interestingly.”
Elizabeth said at the table with parasols. Her hands on the table were full of grace, but her legs were busy digging through the sand, perhaps in a slightly pushed situation.
─Exactly!
As she snapped her fingers, a man who appeared to be her secretary came and recited the contents of her pact.
But damn, let’s not stand behind people playing games. If I mess up with the owner or husband of being caught in a shithole, I can find out.
Chojal-jojal, jjajal-jajal.
“——So, the contents of the treaty are ideal.”
Fortunately, the glasses-wearing civil servant just gave an explanation on the fucking FM and backed off.
He seems to be the type who was born as the third son of an aristocratic family on the periphery who was slightly better than a commoner, and rose to prominence as a hard worker. It’s a bitch prejudice, but that’s how it feels.
“Hmm.”
Holding the card in both hands and moving it around, I thought over the clause and smiled.
“It sure is fun. The provision that ‘Atlantis does not invade other countries’ territorial waters/territories’ has a lot of room for interpretation, but did each country pass this over?”
To put it bluntly, when a country goes into a state of fucking anarchy due to civil war or invasion, ‘Mommy! This land is no longer the territory of a specific country?
─Talk! Asherard tripped Elizabeth’s words.
“So, each clause has been attached to a detailed appendix. The most sub-clauses even have 3-13. Although we did our best not to make it an overly detailed treaty.”
“I could understand just by listening to the provisions. You worked hard.”
“You are welcome.”
Depending on the content of her appendix, it seemed that Elizabeth had made it in her own way, taking into account her or her reign after her. Asherad and Kiara helped with that.
In fact, my non-literary reading ability, which I trained with the Yu-Gi-Oh Master Rules and the English text of the CSAT, was able to find several loopholes in the articles.
She made a magical girl contract with a foreign king who ruined the country, allocated a part of the continental coastal area, and crashed into Atlantis, saying, ‘Now this is also our territory, so let’s build a high-speed terminal to Britannia’.
Britannia is divided into fake internal strife, or it is said that it is a country that has been ruined once and built anew, and puts a grouping on it and says, ‘Neo Britannia is a different country from Britannia! You are free from the Atlantis Treaty!”
Aside from that, a few other vicious and fraudulent ideas immediately come to mind.
Could it be that my vocation was not a historian, but a mad literature artist?
“Yes. But that’s not what’s important.”
Elisabeth, who was glaring at her half with her moaning, quenched her throat with some drink.
I came back to reality a little late, thinking of a fraudulent play that could have been made by a character-breaker. God damn it, how did a good forager like me think of this?
The stench of power that permeates this place must have poisoned my brain.
Lehu, who has to go back to his wives before moving full speed forward to the full course of depravity like an Eromanga girl who goes into heat at the smell of a cock.
“I heard about these people before the Count came.”
Elizabeth rolled her petty horse out of her hand.
It seems that I heard exactly what Asherard Party told me.
“He was very active in helping us during the conference. I am grateful that you have worked so hard for me and my subjects.”
Her voice, saying that, did not spread far and cut off in the middle.
An artificial flow of mana. It was a soundproof booth created by the wind spirit.
“It’s nothing. Because the price of trust can only be paid through words and actions.”
Asherard answered naturally. Elizabeth also smiled kindly.
“It looks like it will be a cooperative relationship, so I say it without hesitation. How did you want this island to be run, so you put so much effort into it?”
One of the biggest outcomes of this treaty.
That is, Atlantis was allowed to arm itself for self-defence.
And listening to the story, it seemed that the Asherard Party contributed to the result.
‘Even the legendary ancient war machine is just a hospital ship without soldiers and weapons.’
National strength is not in defense, but in aggression.
Atlantis going completely unarmed, saying ‘I am a pacifist’?
A prostitute walking naked through a room full of her rapists couldn’t be more anxious.
‘Actually, the Atlantis Treaty itself is just ground food to be used as a justification.’
Britannia is on the verge of growth, and other countries can use it as a justification for stabbing spears and spoons on the day when this island runs out of control in the future.
As I said before, that was the actual meaning of the Treaty of Atlantis.
It was a meeting that lasted more than a week, but it was safe to say that we all shared the consciousness that it would not be strange if the treaty was broken or ignored at any time.
‘Because being a ruler is a job where you lie and cheat after dinner, and you have to do that.’
This isn’t a matter of right or wrong.
If you don’t hit first, you’ll be beaten. It’s hard to be the head of a country unless you’re a person with no conscience at the level of a psychopath.
It may be a little different if it is a democracy, but it is 100% true if it is a dictatorship.
This is because those in power are so accustomed to being hit and beaten that it is a job suitable only for homo carudes whose thinking circuits and brains are pickled in GTA-style sharp robbery play.
Isn’t it clear at a glance just by looking at modern businessmen who are aristocrats and royalty?
Window lord. The true owner of Blizzard, the Archdemon of Silicon Valley.
Coin’s ruler. The Martian and Bogdanov’s advance guard, Ngkola Tesla.
Master of emotions. Azoospermia Vegan, Apple Skull.
Legend stories of famous businessmen are anecdotes that prove why they rose to that position. With every personality drop, entrepreneurs take one step closer to success.
Rather than the fact that there are many people who have broken character among successful people, those who prioritize conscience and morality in front of capitalism are pushed out of their stubbornness and corporate principles.
Personally, I have no intention of discussing their personalities.
In the end, both criticism and success are their own problems to solve.
However, even owners of small businesses can only survive in the battleground of Homo Carudes when they have to change their conscience to a detachable type like a late-model arc reactor.
Would it be different from the king, who is the ruler of the country? I don’t know if the king alone drives his cock into the royal family and finishes it, but if he kicks the asshole in state affairs, the people will be left behind.
A pacifist with a flower garden on his head cannot handle political strife between nations.
It is also the reason why I do not covet power beyond a certain level.
Ugh, look at that shady thing. This is why I hate politics.
“Our wishes and suggestions are clear.”
In that sense, Asherard was an ajumma with no perseverance. Because she was able to argue what she wanted without becoming a timid jaguri against the princess, she said.
“I want to borrow this island, Atlantis, for the Azteca Expedition.”
“… Hmm?”
It felt as if various emotions and hypotheses had passed through Elisabeth’s face.
The reason I knew that was because my face was probably the same.
‘Azteca? Azteca Why?’
Wasn’t your foremost task to find the Hittites?
“It’s an Azteca expedition… “
─Tok, tok, tok. Elisabeth, who had been knocking on the table, moved her words.
“… Atlantis armaments were buckets, right?”
“Yes. You will be able to take advantage of the gaps in the territorial/territorial waters prohibition clause.”
Upon Asherard’s answer, I put down the card I was holding.
—Atlantis does not invade the territorial waters/territories of ‘foreign countries’.
By Western standards, Azteca is not a country.
These Western countries’ big bread bastards are rich in the seed of imperialism, but surprisingly, this logic is not racist. Rather, it promotes human rights.
The moment we recognized the inhabitants of that land as members of the international community, we might have to respect idolatry, which eats people and serves monsters as gods, as culture.
“By bypassing foreign territorial waters to the northwest, we can drive this island to the vicinity of Azteca without violating the Treaty of Atlantis.”
─Tuk. The knight’s horse jumped across the squares on the board.
Asherard poured out his words, reminiscent of a card gamer striking a combo he had conceived.
“I don’t want you to help me fight. You don’t even have to get close enough to be targeted by cannibals. However, it makes a big difference whether there is a supply base in the open sea or not.”
“So, is it a move that ignores the clauses signed yesterday and today? Are you saying that knowing that it will become a big player in Britannia’s diplomatic evaluation?”
“I was prepared for that as well.”
Intellectuals do not hit the head without a kill angle.
Of course, Asherard, who had prepared to dispel Elizabeth’s doubts and objections, seemed to ask if it was okay to take out items from her bag.
Even taking a handkerchief out of one’s pocket in front of royalty requires permission.
But to my point of view, who had been stimulated by curiosity, to my great regret and frustration, Asherard did not get a chance to show off the preparations he had brought.
“President of the school. Wait.”
Kiara wouldn’t be rude enough to talk to another table while consulting with royalty. It’s because he got up as he put down his tiles.
─Pararak! Cards that are placed face up on the table.
It was ‘Golden Hyang’, the best hand that competes for first place in different world poker.
Gildart and Elizabeth also put down what they were holding. It meant that only he could sense that Kiara had to put down a card like that.
“Everyone, please pass on the princess.”
Kiara winked at Gil Dart and snapped his fingers.
“It looks like a new face is trying to get into this gambling board.”
Shoot aaaaa…
Heathreuth’s waterfront with clear waves.
There, like corpses washed away by waves, people were washed up.
─Spooky!
People who had been crawling along the shore like corpses stood up on their own two feet.
If a creature with lizard scales, claws, skin-like wings and horns could be called a human being, would there be room for it to be regarded as a person who had luckily drifted from a shipwreck?
“Krwarararara──!!”
But they bared their teeth, as if they had not come to seek sympathy or help.
They shouted in Germanic, which is quite local.
【We are the blood relatives of Skolakiche!! I’ve come to retrieve the stolen Shinryong’s Jewel!!]
I calmly sat down on a chair and thought about it.
“… Did anyone steal the dried fish from the clothesline?”
That’s why, foreign tourists to Jeju-do say that haenyeo are digging for canned abalone.
If something like a shell with a pearl was stolen, wouldn’t it be possible to cross that sea naked?
