Chapter 166 – King’s Qualification (1)
“… Yes?”
Seojun could not understand Aria’s words for a moment.
And it wasn’t just Seo-joon, but the other team members as well.
Eliminate the cataclysm hero.
Because this was a story that didn’t make sense in the first place.
The heroes of the Cataclysm were those who put an end to the terrible days of the Cataclysm.
Although Beserk was dealt with by the Great Voice and the Seven Apostles,
that did not diminish the sacrifices made by the heroes of Cataclysm.
If there were no heroes of Cataclysm.
Even if Beserk had been dealt with, no one would have survived there.
A noble sacrifice they made for the world.
The hero of the cataclysm was literally a ‘hero’.
Therefore, the hero of cataclysm was the destination and peak that professional hunters aimed for.
It was an object of envy and admiration not only for professional hunters but also for ordinary people.
Even before Seo-joon came into contact with the transcendent academy.
not even at this moment.
Seo-joon also admired the hero of the cataclysm.
“……”
But Aria asked me to get rid of such a cataclysmic hero.
I was asking Seo-joon like that.
For a moment, Seo-joon wondered if this was a joke.
But he quickly shook his head.
It was a story that couldn’t even be said, so it was because it was mixed with irony that couldn’t be dismissed as a joke.
As expected, Arya’s expression looked more serious than ever.
Seojun slowly opened his mouth.
“Who are you talking about?”
There were two heroes of the cataclysm representing Britain.
Dragon Slayer Lebanon, who became a legend by hunting dragons alone.
A necromancer called the one-man corps, the jet-black witch Elise.
Arya bit her lower lip and said.
“…… Both of you.”
Seo-joon was at a loss for words.
Although the hero of the cataclysm is the hero who saved the world.
As always, there were people who were jealous of heroes.
However, it didn’t make sense that the queen of a country, not someone else, was jealous of the hero of the cataclysm.
Besides, this wasn’t just envy.
Should I say that this is fortunate?
Can you see Arya’s restlessness?
Arya also seemed to be aware that her request made no sense.
Seojun looked at Aria without saying a word as if he needed an explanation.
That’s when Aria slowly opened her mouth.
“an Asian…?”
A mysterious voice came from somewhere.
When I turned my head and looked at it, there were people who had come to their senses, gathered in a loud voice, looking at Seo-jun.
“Why are Asians here…?”
“Besides that… Her Majesty the Queen?”
Those who grasped the situation soon found Arya.
And soon, he started whispering.
“Why is Your Majesty with an Asian?”
“What the hell is going on?”
Aria showed a puzzled expression at the noise of the whispering people.
I thought it was something that people would not like to hear.
Seojun nodded and said.
“Let’s move to a more detailed story.”
#
Seojun was able to complete the work of collecting the inner part and dissecting the monster carcass at a tremendous speed.
And is it because of Seo-joon’s appearance that is close to divine skill?
“Wow… that’s really fast.”
“Is that possible?”
People’s questions about Arya were put on the back burner.
In any case, the work was completed in no time.
The place I moved with Aria was none other than Buckingham Palace.
It was the heart of England, also called ‘Queen’s House’ as the residence of the Queen of England.
“and…!”
“This is a real palace…”
“It feels like you are in a fairy tale.”
Suyeon, Seoyoon, and Hayoon’s eyes sparkled at the sight of Buckingham Palace.
Arya smiled slightly and opened her mouth.
“It was rebuilt after being destroyed during Cataclysm. Because of that, a lot of the old taste has disappeared.”
“no wonder. It felt more sophisticated than classic.”
“I like this better!”
“me too.”
The three of them were distracted by the sight of the palace as they turned their heads around.
On the other hand.
“I’m just like… What about the captain?”
“Me too. Is it just cool?”
Seojun and Minyul just shrugged their shoulders.
“Your Majesty!”
“Are you all right!”
Once inside, a group of people rushed out in a hurry.
The royal knights guarding Buckingham Palace.
Judging from the fact that he was wearing the same outfit as Robert, he seemed to belong to the same order of knights.
Sure enough, Robert took a step forward and said,
“What are you doing here right now?”
There was a lot of sharpness in the voice.
It was inevitable because while Seo-joon and his teammates were fixing the brakes, Koppu didn’t shine.
It’s a shame because there was Seojun and Dream Team.
Arya could have died.
“That’s… Lebanon suddenly caught us…”
Robert’s eyebrows furrowed slightly at that moment.
At the same time, Arya’s complexion darkened.
Then Robert spoke to Arya.
“your majesty. I will stay here for a while.”
“Okay Sir Robert.”
Arya nodded heavily.
Then, he personally led Seo-joon and the Dream Team.
Arya arrived at the drawing room inside Buckingham Palace.
In fact, it was only a reception room, but it was okay to call it a meeting room.
one side of the living room.
Seo-joon, who settled in the right place, immediately asked Aria.
“What the hell happened to you?”
Aria looked slightly surprised at Seojun’s words, which went straight to the main topic.
But likewise, did he think that there would be nothing good by dragging time?
Aria also went straight to the point.
“I am a puppet…”
Precisely, he skipped the main topic and moved on to the ending.
“…… yes?”
For a moment, Seo-joon felt like his mind went blank.
“Ah that’s…”
Aria was able to realize her mistake from Seo-joon’s expression.
Then, as if thinking about where to start explaining this, he slowly opened his mouth.
“Do you know…the official English name of the UK?”
“I know! England!”
Aria gave a small smile at Suyeon’s cry.
“A lot of people know that. But no. England is one of Britain’s largest countries.”
“yes? country?”
Arya nodded at Seo-jun’s question.
“The UK is actually a federation of four countries.”
England.
Scotland.
Wales.
Northern Ireland.
Among them, England had the largest territory and power, so it was only the representative of England.
To be precise, the unified country centered on England was the ‘United Kingdom’.
However, it was not a perfect unification.
It was nothing more than a country formed around England.
Thus, Britain was a single country, but in effect a federal system.
Taking the US as an example, it was simple.
The United States, a country founded by people who crossed over from England.
The formation of the 50 states in the United States is also based on this.
A combination of several federations under a single state.
The starting point of the problem was this.
“We don’t get along well with the Federations.”
According to Aria’s explanation that followed, it was no different than a beggar.
I don’t know the exact sentiment, but it was safe to say that they were actually sharing only the territory.
in such a situation.
“It was right after my grandmother passed away.”
Right before Aria, an incident occurred in which Queen Beatrice died.
They say it happened a few weeks ago.
Suddenly, Distortion dungeons began to run rampant all over England.
In response, Beatrice conducted an investigation and suddenly called Aria and said:
“You said you had to stop some monsters. It’s a terrible monster that shouldn’t come out…”
Arya didn’t seem to know what the monster was.
However, the Dream Team, including Seo-joon, knew.
Beatrice was a person who had gone through a period of cataclysm.
He is not the hero of Cataclysm, but he is the highest level of skill.
‘Beserk…’
He was one of the few people who knew that Beserk was alive.
“Grandma left to stop the monster.”
And the news of Beatrice’s death came.
It was sudden, but Arya had no time to be sad.
It was because after that, Distortion dungeons began to run rampant all over England.
And there is only one official successor, Arya.
Arya ascended the throne without even having a proper coronation ceremony.
Arya really did her best as a queen, but it was not enough.
Because I had neither the experience nor the skills.
More than anything.
“The two heroes of the Cataclysm…”
said the two heroes to Arya.
‘We’ll help you, so give up the throne.’
Lebanese from Scotland.
Alice from Northern Ireland.
These two started rebelling against the royal family.
Seojun suddenly asked Aria.
“This is rude, but… As far as I know, the Queen’s authority is not very good.”
Britain’s head of state is the Queen.
But it was only nominal.
The prime minister, elected by the people, actually leads the country.
The queen was only a symbolic figure.
However, there were exceptional circumstances in which the queen directly ruled the country.
There is a voluntary request from the Prime Minister, or nothing else.
“Prime Minister… He passed away.”
the prime minister is dead
Shortly after Beatrice’s death.
The British Prime Minister also died suddenly.
A prime minister was again elected.
However, the prime minister also died in an accident shortly after.
Accidental death due to dungeon break.
At this point, I was in a situation where I could have doubts, if not certain.
A combination of several federations under a single state.
And the relationship between the federations is not as good as wensu.
Professional hunters from each region were gathered under the hero of cataclysm.
Then, he said he didn’t know about the Distortion in other regions.
It was only in an instant that Britain was divided like that.
Only Arya, who had no power or ability, was in an isolated situation.
The people under Arya’s rule were powerless and became sacrifices.
At this point, Arya was about to give up the throne.
There was no such thing as greed for the throne.
Confusing times like now.
He decided that it would be better for a powerful monarch, the hero of the Cataclysm, to rule the country
than for someone who couldn’t do anything like himself .
If that’s the way to benefit England and the people, I can gladly give up the king’s seat.
Arya thought so.
but.
“It turned out that the two heroes—”
It was then.
jump!
Suddenly the door to the living room opened and someone rushed inside.
“Your Majesty!!”
Judging by his title and attire, he seemed to be one of the royal guards.
And the act of opening the door without knocking in the middle of the queen welcoming guests.
It was a rude act that was not even basic as a royal guard.
“It was a big deal!”
However, I could see how urgent the expression on his contemplative expression was.
Sure enough, the guards shouted.
“Right now Captain Robert and Lebanon are fighting in front of the palace!”
#
Main gate of Buckingham Palace.
There, an old man was confronting Robert and other knights.
The old man had an impression reminiscent of a retired mercenary.
However, the bulging muscles covering the whole body and the large sword hanging from the back.
It still seemed like there was nothing lacking in active duty.
Is that why?
Even in front of the Knights Guard, which consisted of at least A-class hunters or higher, the old man did not show any signs of shrinking.
“Why are you blocking me from entering?”
Again, his expression was distorted, showing an uncomfortable expression.
Robert said without a change in expression.
“I told you that only those who have been identified can enter.”
“So I am not identified?”
Robert did not answer the old man’s question.
He was just calmly accepting the old man’s gaze.
momentary silence.
“You’re being very arrogant, Robert.”
Whoaaaaaagh!
In an instant, a terrifying force erupted from the old man’s body.
“Kuh…!”
“Ugh…!”
The knights who could not withstand the momentum began to moan in pain.
Robert also had only to endure the momentum.
Dragon Slayer Lebanon.
A cataclysmic hero who became a legend by hunting a dragon alone.
The momentum he radiated was not to be regarded simply as momentum.
Robert struggled to open his mouth.
“If you come out like this… I have no choice but to obey royal law.”
“That’s rather what I want to say.”
Lebanon pulled out a greatsword behind his back.
Robert also drew his sword.
visor!
Chae Chaeng!
Following him, the knights drew their swords.
Lebanon said with a fishy laugh.
“Loyalty is in the wrong direction. What good is a bitch without that ability.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Robert burst into the magic of his whole body and rushed at Lebanon.
The energy of the Aura Blade permeated Robert’s sword.
However, Lebanon blocked it with a slight twist of the sword.
Wow— oh!
“Cool!”
There was a dull crashing sound, and Robert coughed up blood.
It was Robert who attacked, but it was also Robert who took the damage.
This is the gap with Cataclysm Heroes.
“I gave you a chance…”
At that moment, Lebanon’s Greatsword felt a wave of terrifying power.
Before long, Lebanon swung his great sword.
Whoa!
The greatsword rushed towards Robert with a ferocious force that seemed to split the world in two.
And Robert did not avoid it.
He knew better than anyone that he couldn’t stop it.
Even if I block it, it will be cut in two with the sword.
In the face of approaching death, Robert erased the option of avoiding it.
Robert is the leader of the knights who protect the royal family.
She could not allow herself to run away from someone who insulted the royal family.
Rather than commit such a disgraceful act, I would rather die with honor.
‘Your Majesty…’
If there was only one regret, it was the young queen.
On the outside, he pretended to be okay, but
Robert knew that it was a lie.
When faced with malice, it hurts and hurts like everyone else.
Seeing the people being sacrificed, he cries in his room alone because of his helplessness for not doing anything.
Arya is sincere, but not strong-minded.
I promised to protect you until the end.
It leaves a lingering lingering feeling.
momentary worries.
But death did not wait for Robert.
Suddenly, Robert’s sword, which holds the blade, cuts off helplessly.
I could feel the blade of the greatsword digging into the nape of Robert’s neck.
Along with the fishy smell, red fresh blood runs down Robert’s neckline.
My throat will be cut off soon.
Robert slowly closed his eyes.
That moment.
Ka—-Ah!
Suddenly, a roar erupted in front of Robert.
And from that roar, I didn’t feel any more pain.
After a while, nothing happens.
‘Didn’t… die?’
Robert opened his closed eyes.
Then Seo-jun was blocking Lebanon’s greatsword with a spear.
“You are you…?”
Robert’s eyes widened.
After that came the voice of Lebanon.
“What are you?”
Lebanon distorted his impression at the sudden intrusion of Seo-jun.
But that’s for a while.
“Just die with you.”
Lebanon burst into more momentum and poured power into the greatsword.
Then, a tremendous force exploded around the greatsword.
The hero of the cataclysm, it was the power that the being called the dragon slayer sincerely pours out.
“Oh, no…!!”
“Captain!!”
Everyone around had no doubt that Seo-joon would be cut off along with Robert.
however.
Ka-ga-ga-each!!!
Rather, the Lebanese greatsword was gradually being pushed back by Seo-jun.
Let alone Seo-jun, he was unable to cut Robert’s wooden car.
‘What power…!’
Lebanon opened its eyes wide without even realizing it.
Being pushed out of power…?
I?
It made no sense.
Even the mighty dragon fell on its knees before its power.
‘But how…’
But Lebanon couldn’t continue that thought.
Nice———billion!
I feel a dull pain in my stomach accompanied by a dull explosion.
Kwa Dang Tang!
Lebanon’s body flew far into the air.
