Chapter 132 – New Magic
Thanks to the victory of the first battle, the King of Fair Wheels, the spirit of the imperial army was dampened.
It was only natural that he had seen Baron Zadonis, one of the best fighters in the Empire, fall in unison.
The full-fledged offensive has been delayed by a few days, so I feel comfortable.
If we run into Elroy on the battlefield, we’ll be in real trouble.
Now that I have precious time, I must hurry even more.
That night, I went to the residence of the King of Fair Wheels.
“This is tense.”
When I opened the military tent and went inside, I saw the king of charades sitting on a hard wooden chair.
He was still wrapped in armor all over his body.
She is a woman who is far from being careless.
“What do you want to say to Jim?”
“Are you alone?”
“Isn’t it you who conveyed this information to Lute, saying it should be handled with care?
“It’s a natural thing to do.”
I nodded quietly.
‘Lute did a good job.’
I told you to be wary of this place?
I washed my eyes outside and searched, but there was no such sign.
Lute arranged a place to meet the King of Fair Wheels alone.
Even ignoring the old lord’s orders.
Lute is now my perfect person.
I was about to use her magic on the king of immortals, but she started talking to me.
I will share a few words and cast a spell.
Just until her vigilance softens.
“What number did you use?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You must have known that Lute was displeased with you, and so was Jim.”
“Yes, what…”
Not anymore
Anyway, I also had a really ugly hair stuck in it.
Is it any wonder that Jia, whom she cherished like her daughter, was taken away in front of her eyes?
“But, as far as Jim can see, no hostility was felt from Lute, who had whispered about her son. How did you convince her?”
“Isn’t it said that there is nothing heavier than a heartfelt word?”
I got around moderately.
If I told you that I hypnotized you and ate you, you would be decapitated.
Of course, the King of Fair Wheels was not satisfied with my explanation.
“A heartfelt conversation? You and Lute?”
“Yes, it wasn’t easy, but it certainly was. Lord Lute… No, Lute healed a deep wound in her heart through my conversation. She must trust me now.”
“The story of the dead comrades… Did Lute reveal that truth…”
The King of Fair Wheels muttered in disbelief.
Well, her judgment is right.
Because it was Tia who told me about Lute’s past.
‘But there’s no way for you to find out the truth.’
No matter how good you feel, it’s useless.
Everything is late
Ji-ah, and even her aides were taken away by me.
Now even the king of the wheel will become like that.
The conversation is over.
I used my newly acquired magic on the King of Fair Wheels, who was deep in thought.
-Slurr!
Along with a strange sensation on the back, all the miasma disappears.
The condition for using this magic is to look at the opponent.
There is nothing else.
Resistance is impossible.
Is it the price of a ridiculously simple condition, though I have to consume all the miasma I have.
It is perfect for use against the king of charades, who cannot be countered by force and who is also very wary.
The effect…
“…Ugh!”
Very slightly, after hearing the groaning of the King of Wheels.
My eyesight was darkened.
…
The next thing I saw was a forest.
A dark, damp, unpleasant forest.
Looking around, there were many trees the size of houses.
A bizarre tree that pulsates as if it were alive and swells like human muscles.
As I approached the tree, the thick vine wriggled and hissed like a snake.
A forest like this existed in this world.
I assure you, it was the first sight I saw in my life, but I instinctively felt where this place was.
‘Is it the spirit world of the King of Fair Wheels? She seems to be her childhood memories.’
Was there a forest like this in Ratel Kingdom?
No, if you think about it carefully, there is no way that a plant like this could exist.
These are beasts in the form of trees.
‘It’s unpleasant. I have to go out. Where is the King of Wheels?’
I have to go out.
The moment I thought so, I had already moved outside the unpleasant forest.
“Eh?”
An unpleasant forest in the back.
Green fields in front.
It feels like a dreamlike trip to the world in a dream.
That’s right, I got a sense of what this magic was like.
‘You have entered the spirit world of the King of Fair Wheels. And here I am as free as in a lucid dream.’
If you ask for food, food comes out.
If you want to fly, fly in the sky.
It is magic that uses this power to interfere with the spirit of the King of Wheels itself.
The King of Fair Wheels may not remember what happened here, but what I did here will be engraved in the deepest part of her soul.
-Brush!
An artificial sound mingled in between the sounds of the trees shaking in the wind.
It is the sound of a person breaking through the grass and approaching.
It was obvious who it was.
Because I wanted to get out of the forest and at the same time find the King of Fair Wheels.
“…Uh?!”
“Huh?”
As expected, it wasn’t the King of Fair Wheels… Who emerged from the thicket.
Blonde hair.
It obviously looked alike.
The little girl who jumped up in surprise when she saw me had animal ears and a tail.
‘It’s not Jia.’
Maybe ten years old
Its appearance seems to have compressed the King of Fair Wheels.
She was still young and still had breasts, but she was a tremendous beauty.
Most of all, her ears and tail were different from Jia’s.
Brown fur and dark stripes.
It was that of a tiger.
“Who are you?”
“Well. Who is it? I forgot.”
“What is that? Stupid!”
I have no intention of touching the child.
After answering without thinking, the King of Fair Wheels laughed.
Real kid
He is a completely different person from the real King of Fair Wheels.
“What’s your name?”
“It’s Cedar Ratel.”
“Are you the princess of Ratel Kingdom?”
“Yes that’s right!”
‘The King of Fair Wheels is right. Then what happened to those ears and tails?’
“I was surprised that it had ears and a tail. Are those real?”
“Then it’s real! Would you like to touch it?”
“Is it so?”
The king of charades approached and stuck out his head.
I was willing to stroke my ear, and it was indeed soft and warm to the touch.
Judging from the experience of twitching Jia’s ears hundreds of times, this is unmistakably real.
After a while, the King of Fair Wheels smiled brightly.
“Ahahaha! It tickles me, oppa.”
“It’s soft. Has it been like this since you were born?”
“Yes! I inherited it from Obama. Isn’t it cute?”
“Huh.”
It was true.
She’s already super cute, but her cute animal ears were giving her even more energy.
“By the way, what brought you here? You’re a princess. Can I go around without an escort?”
“It’s okay! I’m a warrior. I won’t lose to anyone but Obama.”
The King of Fair Wheels replied with a smile.
She seems to have been a strong fighter since she was a child.
The King of Fair Wheels turned his gaze to the forest behind me.
“I’m here to see the hunting grounds of the future.”
“A hunting ground. Do you have plans to hunt the beasts in the forest?”
“It’s a very rare ancient beast! I’m letting it go because it’s hiding in the deep forest now. If it’s a bit bigger, I’ll confidently compete and subdue it! If it’s just a matter of time, there’s no need to worry about destroying the forest.”
“…You can definitely do it.”
The King of Fair Wheels single-handedly defeated an ancient beast.
I guess that’s what this is.
I was a bit dumbfounded, but the king of charades strode towards me and sniffed him.
After sniffing her for a moment, she tilted her head.
“Why? Does it smell like that?”
“Um… I get a rough sense of what kind of person he is when I smell him. But I don’t know about oppa.”
“You’re not a nice person. But you’re the one who will bring down the emperor. That’s for sure.”
“Oh!”
The King of Fair Wheels jumped up.
“Abama said that he would attack the empire within a few years. He also said it was top-secret information! Oppa, are you a servant of Obama?”
“No, he’s just someone who has a grudge against the emperor.”
“It’s just like Obama said. The emperor of the empire committed all kinds of evil, and there are so many people who resent the emperor.”
“It’s all sorts of depravity… I guess.”
It’s to the point where you introduce yourself as someone who will kill the emperor in the future.
It must have something to do with the murder of his father with his own hands.
The King of Fair Wheels looked at me, lost in thought, then smiled and turned his back.
“Then I’ll just go back!”
“Already? You said you were looking at the hunting grounds.”
“This is enough! I’ve heard enough and smelled enough. I’ve roughly figured out where and how many beasts are and where the body is.”
“…I see.”
A forest so wide at once?
It seemed that her senses were much more sensitive than Jia’s.
After his words, King Parryun moved his steps without regret.
After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned her head and looked at me.
“Hey… Oppa isn’t your enemy?”
“I am the enemy of the emperor. I will keep what you said a secret.”
“Then… Can I come over here often?”
“Huh?”
When I asked back, slightly embarrassed, the King of Fair Wheels blushed.
“Everyone treats me like a princess. I thought it would be nice to have someone who treats me like a friend. Like an older brother.”
“I’m just being normal.”
“That’s great! Other people would never do it if I asked them to stroke my ear. It’s reckless, frivolous… That’s no fun.”
Well… That’s normal.
As a member of the royal family, only his family would be the only ones who would be friendly to King Parryun, who had great power even at a young age.
“Do whatever you want. We’ll meet when the kite hits.”
“Wow! Thank you.”
The young Parryun King laughed just once and disappeared through his bush.
How fast your feet are! Widely! It beeped twice and then nothing more.
She didn’t even have time to chew on the unexpected encounter.
When the King of Fair Wheels left, the surrounding scenery melted away and disappeared.
The scenery changed as if paint was flowing down on drawing paper wet with rain.
“…It’s the same place? No, only the location is the same, but the time zone is different.”
It was winter this time.
Not a single bush that grew taller than the waist could be found, and the ground was frozen and cracked.
It was a bit cold, so I hoped it would get warmer, and then a hot wind started blowing around me.
It’s convenient.
As if in a dream, I was in a state where almost anything was possible now.
He had the feeling that if he was here, he would be able to win a landslide victory even if he fought against the King of Fair Wheels.
-Thud!
At that moment, something like a meteorite flew in front of me and stuck.
Dust flew with a deafening roar.
I waved my hand to blow away the dust, as expected.
It was the King of Fair Wheels that was there.
“Hello, Seda. Did you run from far away? We met again soon… Huh?”
I took a closer look at the woman with tiger ears in front of me.
He had a different appearance, that is to say, an age, from the King of Fair Wheels he had just met.
He had been about ten before, but this time he seemed to be in his mid-teens.
Besides, the eyes are very different.
The innocent and cute eyes were somehow rough.
I was puzzled, but the king of impermanence raised his head and spoke arrogantly.
“How dare you make fun of her as if you were friendly with her.”
“…The main seat?”
When her words were stifled this time by bewilderment rather than question, she continued.
“Suddenly, I felt a familiar presence and came to me, so it must have been you.”
“You bastard. Aren’t you talking too harsh? We were then…”
“Shut up! Why did you come back now after not even seeing your tail for the past few years?! “
The King of Fair Wheels, standing crookedly with his arms crossed, sighed.
‘This must have been an abandoned land.’
Since it is a place where an ancient beast hides, it is understandable that the public is prohibited from accessing it.
Anyway, the King of Fair Wheels opened his ax eye and started glaring at me fiercely.
It made me try desperately to stop the laughter that was about to burst out.
“Puhhhhh…”
“What, what’s funny!”
“No, principal position… What field is principal position?”
Holding onto the boat, the king of Parryun became angry and his eyes lit up.
Looking at her appearance, it seems that there is still no one around her to be comfortable with.
“…Genius mana and power that is not afraid of the sky! This body is a chosen warrior who is born with mighty power and talent even at a young age.”
“Are you the chosen one?”
“Of course! No human being is just a worm-like existence that can’t even reach the tip of my toes. The only human beings chosen in this world are His Majesty the King and I.”
“Puhahaha!!”
I finally couldn’t stop laughing.
He realized why the King of Fair Wheels suddenly became strange.
‘Looking at it roughly, the age is 14~16. And that needlessly crooked posture and gaze. Well, it’s not that old for a while.’
It’s something everyone goes through at least once.
This is especially true for people who are gifted with tremendous talent like the King of Fair Wheels.
In short, she was in a period of stormy rage.
There was no one close to him who approached him friendly, so no one could scold the King of Fair Wheels.
If someone doesn’t tell me, the memory of this time will be like kicking the blanket for the rest of my life.
You must have already accumulated enough blanket kick stacks.
When I laughed almost like I was about to roll over, the King of Fair Wheels face turned red.
“…Ik, you reckless bastard! Okay, I came this time anyway to get rid of you. You rude devil. I’ll get rid of you right now!”
“Uh, you want to fight?”
“You’re a dark-spoken ghost. Wasn’t that so! Get your posture. I’ll give you two counts, seeing my old love.”
The King of Fair Wheels said with burning eyes.
It seemed he was almost beside himself with shame and rage.
Even so, the attitude is still arrogant.
Are you going to give me two moves?
That attitude stemming from absolute pride in one’s own powerlessness.
The girl from the future was so wary of her.
“I’m fine.”
I smiled and clenched my fists.
