Episode 580. Advice from Enemy (2)
I’m still not sure what he’s aiming for in the end, but at least I’m serious that he thinks he’s superior to humans.
[Do you really think you can develop without any sacrifice or hardship?]
Sacrifice and hardship.
He must have emphasized those two words.
[Your just plain… … It is not understood by the senses of humans who live and die here, but we have seen all cases. That’s why you can be sure.]
“Are you sure?”
[The world develops. That’s something common to all worlds.]
In a world where beings with strong egos like humans step forward, the development of civilization always follows them.
[However, the time it takes for that development is too far away. And it repeats countless sacrifices and hardships.]
Having said that, Harial took a deep breath and held out his hand.
Even though it’s a video, you can feel the strange heat in his movements.
Emotions aroused by his fanatical thoughts.
[We can eliminate that sacrifice and suffering. I will guide you with my vast knowledge. no one will go hungry no one gets bored
I will guide you on the way to the optimal world.]
“… … Is that your purpose?”
Heriel held out his hand after taking a deep breath after speaking until the elder brother’s voice was slightly trembling.
Even though it’s a video, you can feel the strange heat in his movements.
Emotions aroused by his fanatical thoughts.
[We can eliminate that sacrifice and suffering. I will guide you with my vast knowledge. no one will go hungry no one gets bored
I will guide you on the way to the optimal world.]
“… … Is that your purpose?”
The older brother’s voice trembled slightly, but I didn’t fall for his thoughts.
It’s still too twisted to understand.
It’s just that what he understood was a short-circuit purpose.
“Are you trying to claim yourself to be the king of the world?”
[…] … .]
When I asked that question, Harial didn’t answer right away for some reason and kept her mouth shut.
For an instant, a feeling of contempt flashes in his eyes.
Just like getting annoyed at the wrong answer.
In my eyes it certainly looks that way.
[That question is not at all different from what I heard a thousand years ago. Yes, it will look like that to you. I will guide you, so you can be called the king.]
“… … After all, that means being a tyrant. You’re talking nonsense.”
In the end, when I was sarcastic in a small voice, he didn’t even pay attention as if he didn’t hear on purpose.
get stabbed? look me in the eyes and say
No matter how well he ties the ribbon or paints it with gold, in the end he is nothing more than forcing humans to obey.
Block the retreat, show off your strength, and show off your presence.
I like pioneers.
he’s just a monster
It is self-righteous and forces humans to make only one choice.
Do you know the answer to that?
I genuinely thought it was stupid.
Maybe he doesn’t even know.
[It doesn’t matter how you take it.
Once again, I will only state the conclusion. Obediently follow our instructions. If so, I promise you prosperity.]
“… … What are you going to do specifically? What can I do before that?”
[Only 1 year. In one year, we can raise
it to the level of Ernesia Kingdom.
By now, people in many positions are probably hearing the same thing.
‘They hit second… …
I took my eyes off him for a moment and thought about it.
It’s easy enough to interrupt in moderation.
A crazy guy who suddenly jumped out and a crazy younger brother who sprinkled this and that for the kingdom.
Which of the two would you like to hear?
But I deliberately kept my mouth shut.
‘where? What answer do you want?’
I will watch it on purpose.
If I don’t intervene, what kind of answer will he come up with on his own will?
‘… … It doesn’t matter either way.’
Either way, the plan is fixed.
I’m thinking of the worst case.
I waited patiently for my brother’s answer.
What conclusions will you draw as a human being and as a leader?
“I don’t understand.”
The best brother gave the answer.
[King of Ernesia Kingdom. Are you saying you can’t admit it?]
“What the hell are you talking about development?”
[I told you… … we are… … .]
“That’s not what I asked.”
The older brother quietly stared at him and continued.
“I understand that you guys are something absurd. Certainly, if you can manipulate the continent like this, you might be like a god.”
[Are you saying you still don’t understand?]
“So that’s why you don’t understand.”
Brother shook his head.
“Tell me your true feelings, but? Did you say Harial’? Representative of the Principality of Caduceus.”
[…] … Do you misunderstand something?]
“It is not a misunderstanding. It’s just that I’ve come to a conclusion. I am well aware that you do not speak your true intentions.”
[…] … .]
Oh, my true intentions… … Surprisingly, he may have noticed.
before simply logic.
That he had never once said his true intentions here and now.
“For some reason, it sounds like your purpose isn’t what I just said.”
[Is that the answer?]
“You may think so.”
The elder brother answered without the slightest hesitation.
I didn’t even discuss it with anyone.
He didn’t even ask for advice from me.
For some reason, he cut it with a single knife.
“I don’t think submitting to someone like you will end well.”
[…] … I’ll take that as an answer.]
Hariel slightly narrowed his eyes at the older brother’s answer and showed an attitude of accepting the answer.
[You’ll regret it.]
Harial muttered that and cut off contact.
It means that he has no intention of persuading him once again as long as he has already expressed his intention not to comply.
What a surprise. Acting as if nothing was natural.
I can barely feel how he treats humans.
Reach out to the puppy and the puppy will come or not?
I just feel like seeing it.
Well, aside from his twisted sensibility.
“Arel, is this what you were concerned about?”
The oldest brother thought about it for a while and finally asked me.
“If it’s not an illusion, you seemed to be wary of them from before.”
It was.”
yes it was
“I was puzzled in my heart. I wondered why you were so wary of them.”
“Could that be the reason for your answer now?”
But my brother said no.
“No way. It’s a judgement anyway.
The reason I just declined is the truth.
His eyes are unmistakably those of a madman.
… … He may not be human.”
It would not simply mean that the race is human or not.
It must have been questionable to see him who, as if taken for granted, regarded humans as his inferiors and never let go of the assumption that he was superior.
“indeed?…
“hmm? What did you say?”
“no. So what are you going to do after that? He refused, so he won’t sit still.”
“I guess so.”
The problem is now behind the scenes.
“… … Arel, how much do you think you would join his proposal?”
meaning of his question.
It means how many countries will go over to Harial’s proposal a moment ago.
Undoubtedly, the proposal just now must have been offered to kings and influential people in other countries at the same time.
Would they have refused?
No way.
“… … We must prepare for the worst.”
“Is it the worst?”
“You have to assume that everything will be passed over.”
Of course, there are those who will not pass.
But there are also those who are in a position to pass.
The surest thing is to always prepare for the worst.
Instead of relying on optimistic futures, build up your own barriers.
“hmm… … i get it. First, let’s understand the situation. If it’s really gone, there will be signs soon. I should inform the nobles as well.”
“yes. I think I should go back to the manor and organize my thoughts for a while.”
“… … Are you leaving already?”
“your majesty?… “
I don’t think I’m asking because I’m particularly upset.
From now on, he must reveal to the nobles what just happened.
Hiding information will only create resentment against them later.
It is better to open them all up and unite their hearts.
From now on, you have to think about what words to tie tightly so that they don’t wander.
It’s an inexhaustible headache.
Obviously, someone will be tempted by Harial’s proposal, so of course you have to persuade them and suppress them.
And he’s trying to coax me into doing this annoying thing together.
where Are you suffering alone? heh
“… … I wish you luck.”
I know the ulterior motive well, so I’m right at once! It was cut and splattered.
≪Ugh,
brother who can’t even make a sound because his true intentions were revealed.
Please don’t leave your work to me.
I’m too lazy to do anything.
I’ll go back and take a nap from now on.
Wake me up when something happens.
After that, I quietly enjoyed the lazy mode on the bed and looked at the situation while checking only information about the situation outside.
All I know is a few facts.
Continental movement is gradually slowing down.
It is in the deceleration zone.
It’s to reduce the speed to engage as smoothly as possible-does it mean that there is no need to hurry if it is reduced by this much?
Above all else, being near the sea would be much better geographically.
‘It seems that opinions have been gathered to some extent within the Kingdom of Ernesia.’
After that, the oldest brother convened the nobles and held a meeting.
I’m not involved, so I don’t know what’s going on and I’m not interested.
Somehow, it seems that their hearts have gathered to be hostile to the Caduceus.
‘Yeah… … Because the situation turned out that way.’
I won’t come and burn for justice.
It’s probably because they don’t want to let go of their vested interests.
Because the current kingdom of Ernesia is obviously on the side that has the advantage.
On the other hand, the world Haril pursues is not like that.
Of course, it’s not a good thing for a person in power.
Rather, the problem is overseas rather than domestic.
How did other countries accept Heriel’s proposal?
‘… … Well, is this good enough?’
First of all, Kelia, a unified nation of different races, was not accepted.
I thought so.
The city of Draenei, the city of dragons, also expressed resentment.
It’s because I shared information that they were the main culprits of the last raid.
The Merman Empire also did not accept it.
Currently, the empire has a lot of connections on our side, and the emperor’s right to speak is not as good as before.
A person who is already an emperor is less useful than a scarecrow.
Moreover, there is no way that idiots who are still obsessed with the glories of the past will accept the offer to kneel, even if it is cooperation.
In addition, several smaller countries also expressed their disapproval.
And there are those who take it the other way.
Representatively, the Zelnian Kingdom.
They chose to accept the Caduceus without hesitation.
‘… … Their choices are unavoidable.
Maybe it’s natural.’
Because the situation in the country is not good.
I would rather have a pack of wolves in my house, so I don’t care, so I chose to receive their support.
And…
a few other countries also showed signs of being appeased.
The most troublesome of them all is here.
“I already expected the Kingdom of Felsen, but… … It hurts.”
Even at the last meeting, they were already showing signs of going overboard.
Sure enough, the Kingdom of Felsen supported the Caduceus side.
Duke Hummel is openly taking the lead?
I was worried about secretly dealing with it during the meeting. The repair problem bothered me so I left it alone.
After all, he’s just a puppet, so there’s no point in dealing with him.
But there is an annoying problem.
There was no reason to obsess over the Kingdom of Felsen, but considering the means they would take thereafter, there was one troublesome thing.
It’s something that can be solved later, so I have no choice but to accept it now.
Other than that, there are very few places that have expressed neutrality, such as the kingdom of Damaniel.
It seemed like he was going to be appeased, but he was embarrassed by the situation unexpectedly and couldn’t come to a conclusion, so he must have noticed.
You don’t know when it will go over as a neutral or an enemy. It’s better to think of it as an enemy for now.
