Chapter 955 – The Blue of the Stars Is the Blue of the Sea (4)
***
The age of this country… No, it is said that the King of the ‘predecessor’ was 68 years old this year.
A world where evil dragons sleep in nests and fairy kings build kingdoms in the northern snowfields. Sometimes people fight aging and win, but that’s only true for some masters.
What is required of a king in a peaceful era is not a strong body and martial arts that can overcome even time, but virtue and political views to rule people.
Still, he lived a long life as a common man.
Up until the other day, I was in such good health that I could hear that I had corrected it when I went to bed after watching the national affairs, but it seemed that I really left as if I was asleep.
It is said that the sudden death itself was not such a strange thing because there was a disease from the beginning. He was reliable because he was the proof of the pope, the highest cleric, and no one else.
The coronation ceremony was also conducted by the pope who came directly from Romania.
“—When I asked, His Majesty the King replied, ‘The weight of this crown tells the king that he must bow his head in humility and look out for his people.'”
The Pope of the Church of the Rich God calmly officiated the king’s funeral.
It was quite a pious mass for someone who cried out loudly at the news that Loki had gone to be healed and said, “Why didn’t you call me?”
Evil, evil—.
At the direction of the head of the knights and civil servants, soil was poured onto the wooden coffin.
It’s just a grave to say that the royal family is asleep, but it’s an ordinary graveyard that’s simple enough. At that time, the King of Britannia set out on a long journey.
“The battle for the throne won’t happen, right? Fortunately, the.”
“Your Majesty… Ick, it’s Your Highness’s kindness.”
The funeral went on for a long time, but since nobles are creatures that live apart from human sensibility like a rabbit’s liver, there was no choice but to talk about the coronation soon after the funeral was over.
Even if it is a weak country that has to change the title of the king while paying attention to foreigners, it is definitely the king of a country.
If the dead king has the right to be respected, the living king has the responsibility to earn respect.
Even if she is a young queen who has just been crowned today.
… Self.
I killed my presence and ran by the wall of the palace.
It was because on the night she heard the news, she and her wives were visiting the capital and staying while the funeral was in progress, and they got a call from Elizabeth.
‘It’s quite spacious.’
She escaped all of the palace’s magic security with her authority and secretly set foot in the palace where Queen Elizabeth was staying. It was easy for her to evade soldiers and familiars.
Britannia’s palace was similar to that of Joseon.
If the size of the castle was large, it would have felt like a great empire, but unfortunately it was not that big. Especially in the palace where Elizabeth is sitting and working.
─Jack. With the sound of stepping on her lawn, Elizabeth turned her face to her garden. She put down her quill.
“… I’m sorry I didn’t notice, but you’re there, right? If you don’t get an answer, I’ll treat you as an assassin and ask the spirits to hit you a few times.”
“You secretly asked me to come, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
Elisabeth snarled when I showed up after dissolving the invisibility magic.
“I didn’t know you would come using invisible magic. The spirits were so full of energy that they were scared, and if it wasn’t for you, people would die in the palace as soon as I ascended the throne~?”
“Please tell me I’m sorry for scaring you.”
And if you want the guard to come more noticeably, lower the security.
I said as I looked at the non-materialized spirits reflected in Odin’s eyes. I can see everything now If I had to go back to Earth, I would try becoming a shaman.
I stepped on the window sill and came inside. The spirits removed the dirt from the shoes. Well, if there are signs of intrusion, the escort knights will be bloodshot in the eyes.
The wives did not come. It’s not like it’s going to come rushing.
“I see you too often. I won’t be able to attend the next wedding.”
Gildart, who was leaning against the wall, saluted. Nin, why are you holding the form?
“Yeah. Even if you send me a letter and a gift, it’s appreciated. Anyway, I came because you called. Can I speak loudly in this room? Or should I lower my voice? Your majesty.”
“Say it comfortably. The office has good soundproofing. The bedroom is bad.”
“No what? Isn’t that usually the opposite?”
“If an assassin broke into the bedroom and harmed the royal family, wouldn’t it be a big deal if we didn’t notice the commotion until dawn? Thanks to that, we are dying because we have no privacy.”
“Aha. So, running away with a dual status… “
“Hi-Hi. I can’t even do that anymore.”
Instead of laughing like that, Elizabeth was serious. I’m gonna get horns on my ass
“Among the items on my table after Obama passed away, there is a directory of celebrities that Obama personally sponsored. It was something that hadn’t been acquired or handed over yet.”
“The quality of superiors is determined by how they treat subordinates, Your Majesty.”
“Is that so? After all, the Count is wise. Then I will definitely keep my promise with the count. Abolish the lords who committed serious crimes and grant the territories, ahem.”
“Yes, Seong-Eun is overshadowed.”
When she answered jokingly, Elizabeth sighed.
“Eh? Why are you like this all of a sudden?”
“I am not a bloodthirsty queen, but bloodshed is inevitable. A lord is like a little king in his own land. And power hides all kinds of ugly desires.”
She pretended that her hand was holding something invisible.
Looking through Odin’s eyes, it was a paper-shaped spirit. Is it a top secret document? It was invisible to the normal human eye, so it seemed convenient.
“A strange cave in a mountain valley where bad nobles hold hunting competitions. It’s been over 10 years since it hasn’t been used, but for some reason people come and go. Dozens of illegal immigrants are caught every month, but the port is not handed over to trial… ”
She groaned as she turned over the silent paper.
“Those who despise the laws of this country with the power of a lord in their own small society. It should be purged while I can claim the cause of setting the foundations of the country right as I ascend the throne.”
At this point, it’s not even a purge, it’s just the execution of justice. I rubbed my palms together like a mobster. It is the mindset of Paris.
“Khehehe. Where, can I lend you a hand?”
“Isn’t it polite between friends to ask for blood on your hands?”
“Det? Be nice too.”
The aristocratic way of speaking is fucking miraculous. Even though I know it’s a greeting, I don’t feel bad. As I smiled, Gildart intervened from the side.
“The feudal royal family is the leader of the landlords. If you can’t do it without the help of others, your future will be bleak. What I wanted to call you out and tell you about is the next topic.”
“Next?”
“Cruel hobbies and desires that are even unpleasant to write in pencil. The best way to achieve that is to cling to those in power. It’s easy to make a secret agreement with a lord who shares a hobby.”
“… What is that, keeping slaves in prison and abusing them?”
“More serious.”
“Well, I won’t bother listening or talking. Just imagine.”
Obviously, Western countries have slavery.
However, as was the case with the graduate student treatment I received, this slave was a red-lined, illegal alien worker who could not even get the minimum wage, and was not a legitimate Untouchable even though he was fucking hot and stir-frying.
The sexual slavery in the pornography that Veronica reads is illegal in real life. Let’s separate our creations from reality.
‘In the first place, most slaves are part of the punishment, so I wonder if they’ll treat me that way.’
But, like all laws, there are many times when they are not followed.
Did you say it when you were conciliating the twin phantom thieves? It seems that there are pervert puppies with tastes that seem to have lost their humanity a bit.
“But now that I’ve heard it, it’s such a terrible story. I don’t want to receive Yeongji where those guys were messing with their dicks.”
“The guy you just mentioned is from a marquis family, so I’m going to hold his family accountable and rip him off as a good estate. The problem is that some of his ‘guests’ are archaeologists.”
What the fuck is this
I went out as an idiot and picked up anything.
“Uh, well, some of the ancients are heretics. Queen, don’t oppress the archaeological community. All archaeologists are nice.”
“Who oppresses you? Don’t talk like that, I found out while choosing a territory for you. Archaeologists are an elite class, and they aren’t suspicious even if they stay in a certain area for a long time, right?”
“… I guess so?”
How many archaeologists are killing in Kanesh right now?
If you find a bonanza, isn’t it a job to plant eggs in the front yard and build a command center?
“A group of scholars connected by patronage with this corrupt lord. But they weren’t in the manor when we went into the clearing. I found out about its existence itself while organizing ledgers and evidence.”
“It means that the identity is unknown.”
“It was said that he was wearing a mask on his face even during the act, but at least there are eyewitness testimonies from the victims. A 6-star female wizard who was used as a slave even saw through the faces of the ‘invited guests’.”
“What if I let him find his face?”
“I can’t look ahead. They said they noticed your face.”
I don’t want to ask why you became blind.
That’s why I didn’t kill him on purpose and kept him alive.
It is said that this life is better even if you roll in dog shit, but rolling in a field of torture devices would be more terrible than the underworld.
“Thanks to that, I can’t even draw a montage. Because I can’t confirm the finished impression. After treating the eyes, they must have shut the mouths of those who caught their faces.”
“I’m going to cut off my tail and pretend nothing happened. Contact the Archaeological Society. The society will also want those bastards to avoid taking responsibility.”
I gave the answer and noticed. His face contorted by itself.
“Writing, that’s right. Scholars were almost entangled in the Hittite issue. They’re probably hanging there too, and it will take time for the Society to sift through and search for people.”
“You, too, leave the territory in good condition and take the confinement tower I just talked about, then you’ll get angry, right? Stop doing comfortable things that make money and go catch sluts, then what do scholars say?”
It’s obvious that it’s going to be crazy. It was self-evident that he would carry out a professor-bomb run with 5 times more sickness than the Donmisae doctors who were on duty on public holidays.
The professors personality is like that.
“If you make a big case, you will see that you can hide your identity and buy a chance to go into exile. If you tell the society, they will notice and run away.”
“… The truth has already been communicated. The article in charge said he hadn’t even thought of that.”
“I’m not going to do it.”
It was because it would be easy to find once it was clearly communicated. It is unlikely that the people in charge knew about the situation in the academic world.
I don’t know the face, but I didn’t mention the body features, and I’ll probably find it soon.
─A Seyong, a scholar with an obese figure and a knife scar on his belly button?
—Uh, I think Director ○○ said that when we washed up together while exploring the ruins. The right Bural was bitten by a monster passing by while sleeping.
Wouldn’t it be easy to find it this way? I was convinced and asked.
“So, why are you telling me this?”
“It means to be careful. Fools’ heads don’t allow predictions. I don’t know what kind of stupid thing I’m going to do, but later I go and say, ‘I knew it, but I didn’t tell you. You can’t say something like, ‘I’m sorry,’ can you?”
“Aha. Did you give me a warning while you were talking about Youngji?”
“I’m not going to attack you anyway, but you know what? I might have an accident with that Hittite.”
It is. The human being, the favorite of chaos, twists his fate, but isn’t that strong will only for the right and wise guy?
The bomb explodes even if stupid pranksters press it.
The butterfly effect cannot be ignored.
“I will search as much as possible in our royal family. Youngji will be bestowed after that.”
“I’m grateful for that. During the search, I will be paying special attention to the safety of my family.”
In fact, it doesn’t seem like it should be, though. If it’s idiots like that, I think Fran alone can wipe it all out without a single wound.
After the conversation, I left a greeting and headed back through the garden. He hid himself and walked on the grass. It will be easier to go back if you pass the knights patrolling.
‘… Hmm.’
As I waited like that, insignificant thoughts and feelings came to my mind like sinking impurities.
To be honest, it felt a bit bland.
‘If I continue to live a normal life in the future, I wonder if I’ll get involved with bastards like that again.’
Well, is it correct to say that the things I’ve been through so far have been rather strange?
Aren’t the themes like the beginning god or the old rulers fitting the earthlings who used to get angry at the quacks at the hardware store in Daldongne?
‘On the contrary, even a year or two ago, this kind of thing was more close to me, and I would have experienced it more often.’
After confronting the birth and destruction of gods and the fate of the world, the ugliness of the human world is much uglier and dirtier, and so touches the skin more realistically.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in touch with such things, and I felt strange again.
But this too was part of human society.
Wouldn’t there be nothing to step on shit for being the world’s richest man? Even if my strength was unmatched among humans, it could not be completely unrelated to this disgusting and pathetic thing.
‘Just as I enjoyed ordinary happiness with my wives at the festival, if I continue to live in this world, I will experience these ordinary misfortunes.’
Then, gradually adapting to it, even when I heard the word hometown, I didn’t know if I would think of this land that was uglier than the earth, but good and beautiful.
‘Kiara and Odelia are also living normally doing their jobs, and her 7 ministers were like that when she was alive.’
Even if it’s a master class, humans are humans.
It is said that even the gods gathered together and lived in a great commotion, but what am I, a mere human, who is so great that I can only deal with cataclysms that seem like the world will change?
Even if others recommend such an eventful life, my side refuses.
I became strong enough to be incomparable to before, but even so, I was still me.
Wolfhedin was also a Norse, and at the same time a Norse, he was also Kangbukho.
Even humans with strength comparable to gods will die someday.
God is not eternal, and man is especially not eternal.
Even if you shake the laws of the world, tear apart the shields of the stars, and defeat evil spirits from other dimensions, if you are a human, you have no choice but to live in a human world.
Just as Loki managed to return to heaven, humans had to live with their feet on the ground.
Was it like that?
When I ran into a pure white man with a spear on the other side of the garden that the previous king had tended to, I was neither surprised nor eager to kill.
“… …”
We stood in silence like wild beasts seeing a mirror for the first time.
The moon in the garden cast a strangely distorted light on it.
Chi-jik, chi-jik… ! A voice came from the medallion.
“… Ship! Senior! Can you hear me?!”
The voice from the medallion cut off, reminiscent of a walkie-talkie with poor radio waves. Fragmented words buzzed in my pocket.
“Mr. Delta just came to visit… President of the school… Kidnapped by scholars… Even if I try to pick up my senior, I can’t go… Where are you now… !”
… Chijijijik, Chijijijijik!
─Tap!!
Ralilura’s voice was completely cut off there.
I glanced at the castle wall. The gardens of the Britannia Royal Palace were bizarrely twisted and distorted.
Dimension is distorted. Like Kanesh before Dana smashed it.
Could it be that even with the power of Lalilura, you can’t enter here?
It wasn’t that strange. Loki had a hole in his chest because he couldn’t easily escape.
If you came close to the gap in this dimension and opened it, you wouldn’t know, but the level of this ‘magic’ was too high for you to quickly warp and enter from somewhere outside the castle without knowing your location.
‘As expected, magic is better than me.’
So, the reason I half-opened my eyes was because of the fact that I didn’t even detect the activation of this kind of magic until just before it was activated.
I was lost in my thoughts for a moment, and I didn’t even open Odin’s eyes.
Still, the man’s magic was so precise and fast that the senses of the master class barely noticed it after the magic had been activated.
“A serenade on a moonlit night with a kidnapper of a married woman.”
I said looking at him.
“Honestly, I was worried about why you were so quiet, but this is going to be a more boring day than I thought.”
“I don’t think he would do such a poor trick from the first meeting. The disappearance and death of Asherad Cynthia is your fate and fortune. It is just one page of the inevitable you will go through.”
The head of the 〈Compilation Battalion〉, Who distorted the human era with a power closer to god than anyone else, set the window like a director looking back at a boring old movie.
“Now, just like your meeting with me.”
On Sigurd’s left side, Gungnir was swimming markedly.
As if they were mocking my thoughts that I would part with the fate of the gods and live in the world.
