Chapter 750 – Dragon Might (4)
【Baitsnia has entered a state of civil war.】
The person I spoke to about the family reunion and the prince before him was… What was it Was it Zhang Ziqun? He was, anyway, a planetarium man, a nanny role for Yui Ling.
After Fran came to hear the news, I folded my arms at the story I heard from him.
【It’s a civil war…】
It was worth it.
The King Chungwangdaegun fell behind, and the heartworm worms that he planted in Byznia were dead. It must have been brainwashed due to the passage of time + the absence of the controller.
‘I’d rather end up with a civil war.’
Was it Xiao Lai? After we freed him of his brainwashing, he retained his memories and personality.
Of course, if the people who played the role of Gullanaroek’s puppeteer, saying ‘I’m a weapon for Henir-nim!’, Were hypnotized, wouldn’t it be the right course for society to be confused?
He protests, considering himself an ardent PCist and vegan, and is suddenly brainwashed?
I’d rather everyone be brainwashed.
Someone is preparing for today’s demonstration, Lulu Lala, but suddenly Captain Jideul and the vegetarian special forces run away while shouting, ‘This is not real!’
There is no guarantee that the high-ranking people who will cover the chaos will not have raised a red bug in their hearts, so the madness of the midfield, where the madness, denial of reality, and the desire for power are swirling, is inevitable.
【The confusion in the country has reached its peak, said the envoy who delivered the story. It is the situation in the imperial family that even Princess Yui-ling’s return plan is unclear.]
【Can you tell me that, a foreign aristocrat?】
【I asked you to tell me】
Is it Yui Ling?
She made eye contact with her older sister, and the princess named Mei Ling thanked her so much that she was tired of counting the number of times.
I removed the scales that had grown on her body. Since it was transformation mana, it was easy to remove.
【Sir Wolfhedin. Thank you for the kindness you have shown me over and over again, I, Leanne Meiling, are——]
I accepted the greeting that followed. Could it be because she is from the imperial family? Including lengthy rhetoric, the greeting was wrapped up in a long way to end with one word, ‘Thank you!’.
Yui-ling, who quickly realized that I was bored, interceded, and got back to the topic.
【Speaking of civil war, the emperor… ?】
【Perhaps the shock was great, she passed away due to a long illness.】
Was it because it was an expected question? The answer was quick.
Still, he did not hesitate to speak, but the complexion of the official of the imperial family, who was talking about the death of the emperor, was dark. To the extent that her biological child, sister Yui Mei-ling, is calmer.
【The princesses must be heartbroken too.】
[As a member of the imperial family, it’s worth wailing, but you can’t just cry.]
I don’t know what kind of emotion the expression hides.
Was the emperor brainwashed? It was unknown whether it was the nature of the Weiznian emperor that made them suffer, or whether it was due to Gulanarok.
No matter how you assume it, it wasn’t a topic worth digging into, so I decided to take the girls’ expressionless expressions at face value.
Also, did the emperor really die of illness? Wasn’t he assassinated?
That also didn’t matter too much. After all, for me, the essence of this incident was whether or not there was a Gullanarouk in the shadow of that civil war.
‘I’m sure there aren’t any humans who can control the worms.’
And for the Yui Meiling sisters, it would be important who the forces controlling the civil war were and what situation and position they would live in.
【Are you two going back home?】
Then, Fran changed the point of the question and asked.
【If you don’t want to go back, I can help you a little–】
【No. Thank you for your words, but I want to return.]
【Sister?】
Seeing Yui Ling’s surprise, it seemed that she hadn’t discussed it.
【In Azteca, I saw how far people’s greed and fanaticism can go. It is said that the cannibals of this land have monster blood, but there were also people who were human despite inheriting the same blood.]
【Are you talking about someone like Istetil?】
When Fran answered, Meiling smiled slightly.
【Yes, Countess Francesca. Monsters that have lost their humanity and put on human skin are everywhere. I assure you, running away is foolish.]
【… Sister.】
【Yui-ring. We are the only ones who can escape.]
Mei Ling awkwardly stroked her sister, whom she hadn’t seen in a while.
【The soldiers and ladies-in-waiting who are close to you, and the planetariums here have families in their hometowns. If we run away from the imperial family, aren’t their families in danger?]
【I know that much! But, my sister is fine! If she couldn’t find her sister, or that she died of exhaustion after being afflicted in Azteca, that’s the excuse!
【People cannot escape from the past. As long as you’re alive.]
Soothing her brother, she looked at me with a determined look.
【I arrived here without being able to connect or disconnect anything. The fact that we were reunited alive was a blessing and a miracle from the Lord, but——]
【Like living and reuniting with Princess Yui-Ling, even if you run away now, you will encounter the Baiznia Imperial Family someday. That’s what you want to say.]
【There is nothing more futile than peace and security created by deception.】
Meiling glanced at the capital of Azteca.
A city where countless people who were chosen as sacrifices died. Did the people of the city-states raised by Azteca consider that time peaceful and safe? Even now that you are free?
More than 90% of the citizens didn’t think so, so I guess my reform bill fed them.
【This civil war could be an opportunity. In the imperial family under the top-down system, we are also princesses who have to wait to be disposed of, but it’s a different story when it’s as confusing as this. I also gained enough strength to protect myself.]
─Sukkak. As she gave her strength, her nails grew.
It was ferocious claws like dragons or lizards. She winked at me playfully.
【If you’re a Germanian girl, you have to fight to get what you want, right?】
Hehe. That too.]
My mother’s lineage is probably from Nidavelli, but if you look at the roots, they’re similar.
As she is worshiped as the incarnation of Tona Shuil Lukatl, isn’t she the Mei Ling who has been preparing for her ritual for a long time.
Far from being the real Wooshin, she was slightly stronger than her corps commander level, but her mana and her physical abilities dwelling in her were incomparable to those of ordinary people.
‘I was given a fortune as a shaman to be used as Wooshin’s body, but it must be at the level of Prince Chung.’
If you don’t have those specs, you won’t be able to handle Wooshin’s power.
‘But, in the end, that’s all.’
Meiling is clearly not a warrior. After being kidnapped, he seems to have gone through hardships and hardships while surviving, but he still lacks the ability to use that power.
… Glance.
That must be why Fran is looking at me unknowingly.
It seems that the person himself is not aware of it, but there is no plea that is as effective as this for me.
‘Forage Special) My wife’s wish will be granted even if she dies soon.’
If Yui-ling, who had gone back like this, died in vain, wouldn’t our franc not be able to sleep with guilt for at least 1-2 years? As her husband, it’s something I can’t stand by.
【That fight, I’ll take part in it too.】
【Yeah?】
– Whiririk. The ink made from the material imbued with mana drew runes along the tip of my pen.
After writing a few lines of message, I held it out after drying it with fire mana.
【Show it to the elves in Tatarnia. If the civil war is deepening, they will also be thinking about the future of the country. The rest is up to the princess.]
Elves have a loose concept of time.
Did such a race plant the seeds of the World Tree right away? Absolutely not. You must be 100% cautious, and now that the civil war has broken out, it will be a headache.
【The end of the civil war is predictable. The midfield is torn apart and becomes the 5th and 16th national team. Unified to those who conquered the civil war. The next dynasty comes into being. Either way, my code will help.]
Tatarnia needs fertile land, but there is no reason to intervene in civil war.
But, what if we mixed up the incidents of the princess and Prince Chung to get rid of the unanswers?
‘It’s quite possible.’
You could propose to the forces dividing the civil war, ‘Tatarnia + the two princesses, will you join them?’, Or you could eat a part of Byznia that was split apart.
There were many ways, and it would be easy to find those who would help in this civil war.
Since Zhang Ziqun here is an elite, her life is in danger if the princess’s coin is destroyed.
【I can’t be favored by the Lord more than this.】
[Let’s talk openly. That grace, even if you want to repay it, is it possible?]
Mei Ling shut her mouth.
Eunhye is good at talking, even if they really want to give something back, are the current girls capable of doing so? If you go back like this, it will be difficult to take care of yourself.
【… Like. There is nothing to lose as long as you can melt down and recycle the crushed and scratched gold coins anyway. I’ll think of it as an investment and I’ll be grateful.]
【Fortunately, there are elves who only sucked their fingers because they wanted a gold ring.】
【This is news that makes me very happy to hear.】
Mei Ling withdrew, holding my writings like a treasure map. Princess Yui Ling, who saw her off as she went to rest first, also bowed her head deeply to her fran.
【From one to ten, thank you very much. I will never forget the days when I was taken care of by the Count and Countess Francesca, even until the day I die.]
【… Franc.】
【Yeah?】
Fran laughed lightly at the princess who blinked her eyes.
【Now, you can call me Fran.】
【… Ah!】
Yui Ling nodded in emotion and squeezed her franc hand. As the half-dwarf women were doing this, it looked like young girls saying goodbye.
【Then me too. Call me Yui-ling, too, Fran!]
【… Yes! Yui-ring!】
【See you next time! At that time, I will definitely treat Frann with such splendid hospitality!]
Forgetting their body language and shaking their hands, the princesses left.
There is a prejudice that elves and dwarves don’t get along, but will things work out? She was worried, but for some reason she had a vague feeling that things would work out for her.
Why? It’s not even that the premonition was activated.
I figured it out while thinking about why.
I don’t know what this world is like, but as far as I know.
The fact that it was a golden dragon that symbolized the imperial family in the central plains.
‘A half-dwarf empress wearing a yellow dragon robe.’
The founding myth must be interesting.
I saw them off as they boarded the follow-up ships to leave as quickly as possible, and followed the note Mei Ling left before going to the Azteca Imperial Palace.
Rumble— Boom!!
─Click, Tak!
Let’s use Fran’s lockpicking skills, golem magic, and my translation cheat for a while.
In a secret warehouse whose existence was unknown only to Azteca’s leadership, we found a mountain of relic-level magic items left lying in dust.
Fran, who was holding out an obsidian sword, revealed his face.
“Nor! Look at this! This little sword has more mana than mine!”
“Yes. A mountain of treasures, very.”
At least 4 artifacts comparable to Huldfolk’s Seal.
I’ll pay you half the cost of your life just for giving me this information.
Well, it’s a national rule to get party raid rewards from NPCs as well.
