Resurrected Immortal 1024

Chapter 1024 – (Side Story)02. After the War (2)

“It’s obvious what you guys are thinking.”

Anies spoke to several representatives of other countries who were glaring at him with a sour expression.

“You just want to make a fool of yourself.”

“What is that… !”

“Stop speaking!”

“How dare you say such rude words!”

The atmosphere of the conference room, which had been solemn and heavy, suddenly became noisy.

Queen Uriah of Pernias and representatives of countries adjacent to the western border were at the center of dialogue and conflict.

However, the composition changes from Queen Yuria to Anies, creating an unpleasant atmosphere.

“Damn.”

Many people were offended by the direct and aggressive speaking style.

However, there was no way Anies would give in to their teeth-gnashing looks as if they were about to chew him up at any moment.

If I were weighed down by those gazes and spirit, I wouldn’t be able to survive, let alone rise to my current position.

The mess Anies had been through so far was too difficult to feel helpless and unable to do anything.

“Then shall we try it like this?”

Sure enough, Es raised the corner of his mouth and laughed at them.
Finally, I glanced at Queen Yuria and continued her words.

“Hey, queen.”

“… Yes, yes?”

When Yuria suddenly called her, she responded in confusion.

Out of respect for those in attendance and the country they represent, it is not a formal and polite way of speaking.

Just like talking to another customer sitting next to you in a restaurant.

It was a very simple and irreverent tone to address the queen representing a country, but there was no time to worry about that.

After hearing Queen Yuria’s answer, which was very embarrassing and dumbfounded, Anies smiled and continued.

“Just give up.”

“Yes? Her words…”

“Just the rights to the territory of the western continent. Give up. “Let them share it.”

“B-but…”

“Let’s see where and how to use that land.”

Anies looked at them with a confident attitude and smiled.

“…”

Queen Yuria also watched them.

She also knew why they were so reluctant to reject reasonable offers and find fault with her.
It’s scary.

The Kingdom of Pernias will have that territory.

If we purify the land where death lurks while being polluted by the necromancer’s morale and return it to normal territory.

I am concerned about the future situation in which further growth will occur based on that territory.

The future situation is viewed as more important than the current situation, which has suffered great damage in the aftermath of the war with the necromancer.

It is often said that other people’s rice cakes seem bigger, and it is very painful to see a situation where one is left out and others are doing well.

‘These idiots are really…’

Why can’t I face the current situation?

This is a story that Queen Yuria cannot understand.

No, she knew it too.

Queen Yuria also suffered terribly within the Kingdom of Pernias, despite the fierceness of human greed and selfishness.
A lump of uncontrollable emotion called greed that I know, but cannot empathize with or understand.

As Anies said, their intentions are very obvious even without asking.

Instead of giving up the rights to the western territory of the continent, which is full of the necromancer’s morale, it is a ploy to extract a little more compensation for it.

However, the amount of money they wanted, as well as the desire and selfishness that sprouted in their minds and hearts, was too great.

To the point where they directly carry out foolish actions without even knowing their situation or topic.

“What is that… !”

Could it be that the option of completely giving up rights was not even considered?

Or maybe I subconsciously didn’t want to assume it.

Representatives of countries adjacent to the western border could not hide their bewilderment.

“Why, why are you surprised? You are free to pay any amount of compensation in exchange for that right. “Then isn’t it also free for Queen Pernias to decide whether to purchase those rights from you?”

It is an obvious conclusion.

“I won’t buy it because the price is high. Just keep it for yourself.”

It was a natural principle of the market.

If there was no smooth price adjustment between the consumer and the supplier, the transaction was bound to fall apart.

Whether they want to buy, not to buy, to sell, or not to sell, it is all decided by their will, and even if a deal is not concluded, no one can criticize it.

However, there is one fact that has been overlooked.

“You are free to grow a field there or build a house and live there.”

“…”

Even in this transaction, there is a clear relationship between A and B.

Among them, the one located on the promontory was, absurdly, on the side of Queen Yuria of the Kingdom of Pernias.

The manpower and finances of the countries adjacent to the western border cannot restore the western territory, which is full of the necromancer’s morale.

It is a long-term task that can only be accomplished by hundreds of temple priests pouring in a large amount of sacred power over a long period of time.

It is a prerequisite that not only divine power but also a large amount of human and material resources must be invested, but will they be able to cover the cost, as they are currently short on finances and manpower?

This was purely a consideration for Queen Yuria to have the opportunity to exercise her rights over her new territory, while also saving the people of the devastated western neighbors.
What if the Kingdom of Pernias gives up its rights to the western territory?

You cannot receive any compensation.

The finances of a country with holes will become more and more impoverished to the point of becoming sick, and the country will one day fail.

Perhaps because they remembered that situation in their minds, the expressions on the faces of the western neighboring countries all turned pale.

“You idiots. “You have to know the topic.”

Noes clicked his tongue and criticized them harshly.
In the strictly determined relationship between A and B, where favors are given, he thought that the favor was natural and showed excessive greed.

Their role would have been to take whatever scraps were thrown at them and somehow minimize the subsequent loss of life by taking care of the devastated people’s lives.

Still, I couldn’t control my greed and think of anything else, so I couldn’t be this stupid.

“…”

In the end, the representatives of the western neighboring countries, who had been strongly opposed, all looked ashamed and kept their mouths shut.

They didn’t have much of a choice.

Afterward, various agendas were raised, and the meeting was held in order to bring peace to the barely found continent. Fortunately, the meeting progressed quite smoothly.

This is because Anies’ direct and confident speaking style firmly set the tone of the conference room.

“Then, this concludes this Continental Congress. Thank you all for your hard work.”

Unlike the rough atmosphere at the beginning, it was able to end quite smoothly.

As they were leaving the conference room one by one, Queen Yuria approached Ani Es and bowed her head.

“Thank you.”

“Huh?”

“You came forward on my behalf, right? I was really grateful.”

“Ah, that. It’s okay. It was already unpleasant to see people talking about things without even knowing the topic, but now it’s all good.”

She bowed and expressed her gratitude politely, but Ess waved her hand with a displeased expression and responded as if it was nothing.
Rather, the one who was embarrassed was Albert, who was assisting Anies.

“Oh, no! Queen! I wonder if our archbishop was too rude… ! Rather, we should apologize!”

“You don’t have to go that far… Rather, I received help…”

Albert’s attitude of repeatedly bowing his head and apologizing is enough to embarrass Yurina and Alex.

On the other hand, Anies frowned as he was not satisfied with Alberton’s apology.

“Hey, dude. “What am I doing?”

“That’s right! She is the queen of the Kingdom of Pernias… ! What should I do if you speak in such a disrespectful manner!?”

Albern repeatedly said that this was not the way to treat the queen, but it was just an annoying nag to Es.

“Ah… Now that her grandfather is retiring, something else bothers me.”

However, even the gentle Pope who taught Anies the doctrine was unable to correct her behavior and personality. Is this possible even for Albert, the next Pope candidate?

“Damn, I want to retire…”

“Absolutely not! There is still a lot of work to be done!”

Although the position of next saint was passed on to Eleanor, Anies’ position as archbishop is still powerful within the temple.

It was not a good time to talk about her retirement.

“Anyway, Anyes. “Did you manage to figure out that blind spot?”

“What?”

“You told Queen Pernias earlier that she should give up buying the rights to the western territory. “You’re not the kind of person who normally thinks and acts like that.”

“What is this guy?”

Anyes turned on the double wick and looked at Alvern.

This young boy, who preaches not to be rude to others in the first place, is extremely rude to Anies to the point of bitterness.

He fed honey chestnuts to the head of a fifteen-year-old boy with a similar physique as himself.

“Kwaaaaa!”

It was the fist of a delicate girl whose growth had stopped, but it hurt incredibly, as if it had been hit with the edge of a hammer.

Anies, who was slightly angry, opened his mouth with a sour expression.

“That’s not what I thought.”

“Yes? “Well then?”

“Eleanor said that once the meeting began and the western territory rights were brought up, she would absolutely be begging the neighbors. Well, those are the things, because the current Kingdom of Pernias is still wealthy thanks to the Duchy of Armitas, and this level of favor must have been calculated. “I guess I thought it was okay to be a little more greedy.”

She thought that because she was wealthy, because she could afford it, and because she was favored, she would be able to inflate the amount of compensation.
It was a foolish optimism that they viewed the other person as a pushover, and their lack of objectivity toward themselves must have been their stupidity.

In other words, Eleanor anticipated this situation.

“Ha…”

Yuria sighed softly.

If she had expected it, it would have been nice if she had given it to herself.

It is natural to feel regretful.

“That’s the kind of guy he is. “Don’t be too disappointed.”

Perhaps it was because she recognized Yuria’s true intentions, but Yuria couldn’t help but smile bitterly at Alex’s comfort.

“… I know. “I can’t rely on Eleanor, Master, or Erin forever.”

If possible, she didn’t say anything because she wanted Yuria to cope and grow on her own.
Eleanor’s intention was also understandable.

“Anyway, she looks just like her husband, so there are no separate pairs of couples.”

No. S clicked his tongue and cursed at Eunhyeon, who was currently away for some reason.

“Hungry. Let’s go get something to eat. Albert. You return to the temple first. “I’m going to see some friends.”

“… “If you come here drunk again, I won’t be able to stay still.”

“I saw that.”

“Oh, really! Please stop this person!”

At Albert’s earnest gaze, Yuria and Alex smiled bitterly.

Was Anies someone who would listen to what they said?

Ani Es took out a small crystal ball from his chest.

[Are you finished?]

I heard Eleanor’s voice.

“Uh. It’s over. “Can we talk about the meeting and go get something to eat?”

[… Do you remember the contents of the meeting?]

What does this mean?

Of course, Eleanor did not expect Anies to remember all the details of the meeting that lasted for several hours.

Rather, Anies spoke confidently.

“No. Stay here with your queen, not me. “I’ll sort it out and tell you.”

[Ah. The queen and her brother are together.]

Eleanor understood the situation immediately.

She let out a small laugh and readily accepted Anies’ offer.

[I’ll tell Lily to prepare dinner.]

Anise, who had visited Eunhyeon and her wives’ mansion several times and served them meals, knew Lily’s cooking skills very well.

“Oh, shit.”

For a sacred priest and archbishop who serves a goddess to drool over a dinner prepared by the devil, wouldn’t it have seemed like blasphemy to those who didn’t know the details?
