608. [Side Story] Stove League (2)
My father whom I haven’t seen in a long time… While having a small talk with the Emperor, I suddenly noticed something strange.
I pointed it out carefully.
“Abama, it’s snowing right now…”
“Hmm? Oh, you mean this?”
The emperor pointed his hand at his eyes.
“Did the color change?”
His golden eyes, which exuded the majesty of the absolute, were quite discolored.
It was in the process of changing into that of an ordinary human to the extent that it was black with a little bit of gold.
“Didn’t you tell me the other day before we broke up? The divinity I forcibly acquired is slipping away.”
The emperor smiled with the eyes of an ordinary middle-aged man.
“Isn’t it natural that we don’t burn people to make offerings anymore?”
last winter.
Before returning to New Terra, the emperor had spoken here.
– I burned the lives of my subjects and obtained divinity in return. And with that power, it has supported the Lee Shin Front.
– As the offerings and burnt offerings stopped, the divinity I had forcibly acquired was also evacuating. I am gradually losing my qualification as a representative of humanity.
The Everblack Empire no longer sacrifices innocent people. The emperor gradually lost the power of the transcendent.
And the fact that the emperor did not stop his power from dissipating and left it alone…
“Yes. Finally, the battle on the Isin Front in the north has also stopped.”
“…!”
“Negotiations with the gods have been completed.”
It meant that the Empire’s northern front had finally regained peace as well.
“These gods also said they would help us. I unbarred the northern front, and these gods moved south… they will arrive here sooner or later.”
I still don’t quite understand the concept of defense in the spirit world, but anyway, the 4 different tribal gods seem to come to the Crossroads as reinforcements.
They must be powerful beings, so I’m grateful anyway.
“By the way, how does the deity in the spirit world help this place?”
“They said they would choose their agent… Avatar and exert their power through him. The power they use is also different from ours, so I don’t think I understand the method well either.”
“I see…”
“I don’t know if that’s why you were happy to see this father as a powerful ally. Sadly, Jim is no longer a Transcendentalist. You’re reverting back to being a normal human.”
Floating lightly.
Even if he loses his power as a transcendental figure as a guardian deity of mankind, the emperor is a strong man who is difficult to beat even among all the heroes gathered on the battlefield here.
If I had to rank them in a game-style, it would be SSSR or UR.
Apart from that, it would be difficult to go to the battlefield recklessly without the power of a transcendent. He is the leader of the largest country in the world.
“Don’t be too sad. Instead, I brought a bunch of presents.”
The emperor pointed to the southern field. I saw that too.
Kung Kugung…
I was eagerly putting down the containers brought by the non-empty ships. I nodded towards it.
“What is that?”
“Didn’t you ask me to go with the Lady of Wintersilver?”
When the emperor snapped his fingers, the soldiers standing in front of the container unlocked the magic lock and opened the container door.
And what was visible in it…
“It’s a castle wall.”
The walls were disassembled one by one.
“…yes?”
When I let out a stupid sound, the emperor chuckled.
“Didn’t you ask for it? Since the entire castle wall has collapsed, send the best technicians and materials. However, Jim has calculated that it will not be possible to complete the new wall before the next monster invasion.”
“…”
“I just dismantled the southern wall of New Terra and took it off. I don’t have anything to use for New Terra right now.”
During the Battle of the Ecliptic, the entire southern wall of New Terra, the ecliptic, which our World Defense Front faced directly, was moved… in its entirety!
“Because New Terra is an ever-expanding and swollen city… the existing concept of a castle could not keep up with the expansion of the city. So, after winning the Tribal War a hundred years ago, this wall was built by applying new technology to enable assembly, disassembly and movement.”
As I stood firm with my mouth open at the response that transcended common sense, the emperor calmly continued.
“Well, this is the first time I actually moved it because it cost more to disassemble and move it.”
“…I’ve never even thought of this. Moving the walls.”
“We have to bring all the parts that are still left in New Terra, and assembling and constructing them will be a major project. But even so, it will be faster than building a new one.”
The emperor made an expression like a father who brought a toy present without his son’s knowledge and gave me a smirk.
“How are you? Will you be of any help?”
“Of course, Obama. One of the biggest problems solved…!”
The site of the southern wall had just been torn open.
It was clear that assembling and erecting the walls of New Terra would be much easier than starting from zero base.
In addition, as it is the wall of the ecliptic, its own defense will be high, and several defense magics will be applied. During the remainder of the defense, repairs to the walls beyond this will be impossible.
When I was genuinely delighted, the Emperor chuckled, brushed his beard, and gestured back.
“And one more present. You will probably be very happy and welcome too.”
“yes?”
I tilted my head. Are you happy with the gift?
At the gesture of the emperor, five people walked among the imperial soldiers standing behind.
There are four big black knights who are fully dressed in the formal armor of the Everblack Empire
.
And from their center, walking in a light, light motion…
a young woman with rich beige hair in a flowing white dress and red shoes.
She was holding up a white parasol, and was arrogantly in front of the emperor, but did not fold the parasol.
And the emperor did not bother to point out the rudeness.
The emperor pointed to them and introduced them.
“My bodyguard – Glory Nights.”
“…!”
“I’ll give it to the southern front. to make good use of it. It’s been a long time since we had a fun time together.”
After bowing to the emperor, she greeted me with narrow red eyes.
“It’s been a while, Your Highness Prince Ash. Was it the first time I saw you after graduation?”
“Uh…”
Was it our old age? am i seeing this for the first time?
I blinked awkwardly, but in the end I had no choice but to ask awkwardly.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have a complete memory of the past…” He
was about to ask who it was.
rattle.
Standing next to me, Lucas’ whole body trembled like an aspen tree. I looked curiously at Lucas’ side face.
“Lucas? what’s the matter?”
“Lord, Lord. This woman is…”
“Oh, Lucas!”
The woman covered her mouth with her white gloved hand, laughed, and winked at Lucas.
“It’s been a while. I think it’s the first time I’ve seen you since graduation. how have you been doing?”
“Ughhhh!”
Cold sweat ran down Lucas’ body.
I was embarrassed to see so little of Lucas being mentally cornered this far. No why!
“Lucas remembers me so well… It’s disappointing that His Highness doesn’t remember me at all. We spent six years together.”
She came to a stop in front of me and, with a graceful motion, brushed back her lush hair, introduced herself.
“I am Hecate.”
“Hecate…?”
It’s a name I’ve never heard of in the game.
“Your Highness’s academy classmate and…”
she whispered softly in my ear, hushing her voice.
“Three musketeers who died and couldn’t live through school days – that Hecate!”
***
Her self-introduction was as follows.
Chief of the 369th class of the Imperial Academy.
Commander of the Glory Knights of the Imperial Guard.
Hecate White Blossom.
‘Something… It’s so flashy.’
She was a breathtakingly gorgeous woman with her specifications, her name, and her outfit.
No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t look like a knight. Wearing a dress and a parasol on shoes without any armor or weapons.
By the way, he was the head of the academy, a training institute for knights, and is now the leader of the Glory Knights.
‘Glory Knights (Glory Knights)…’ It
is a knight order that has existed since the founding of the Everblack Empire and is a symbolic place among the various knight orders of the empire.
That would be the case, too, because it was the Royal Knights who directly guarded the emperor.
‘I’ve never seen it in a game.’
Is it natural In the game, the Imperial Guard, the Glory Knights, never came to the Crossroads. Even if they knew it existed, there was no way to figure out who the people inside were.
‘The leader of that place is me and Lucas’ classmate.’
Anyway, that’s how I was introduced.
The Emperor went off to supervise the unloading of the airships. The 4 Black Knights, the Glory Knights, followed suit.
Only Hecate is talking with our main party as we head to the manor house.
“I see, you really have lost your memory…”
Hecate shook her head in pity. I shyly scratched the back of my head.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t remember the six years I was in school at all.”
“Whoops. It’s a pity that I can’t share so many memories with Her Highness… but it would be fun for me to bring back memories little by little.”
“Please. Please tell me slowly.”
Immediately after, I turned my head to the side.
“But why is Lucas doing this?”
Lucas is walking in the distance over there.
Trembling as if Hecate was scary, he even hid behind Evangeline’s back… Evangeline was visibly embarrassed as it was the first time she saw Lucas like this.
“Why are you like this, mister, don’t you do it right?!”
“Ha but…don’t do it…”
“That means we are the face of the monster front! But what if you shrink like that in front of someone who is new to you! Come on! Straighten your back! Seniors are watching you too!”
It was only then that Lucas felt my gaze and stuttered as if to make an excuse.
“…my lord. It happened several times in the past…”
“Many days?”
what the hell happened? Let’s unwind!
“Whoops. Lucas too. I can’t believe I’m still like this with things from a few years ago.”
When Hecate covered her mouth and smiled, Lucas said, He made the same sound and crouched behind Evangeline. Hey, all the characters are ruined! Come to your senses!
“Anyway, I miss you. Those school days when the three of us got together and spent together.”
Hecate closed her eyes and recalled the past.
“With a great combination of being second-to-last. The three of us did a lot of fun things over the past six years…”
Needless to say, the chief is Hecate. The second seat was Lucas. Last place was Kim Ashe. 아이고 장하다 우리 망나니 새끼!
“I wish I could say more, but me and my men and soldiers have just arrived. I will go and unpack and tidy up the camp.”
Upon arriving in front of the manor house, Hecate smiled.
“The story continues later.”
“It is. Because I have a lot to ask.”
“Yes, Your Highness, then. again soon.”
Hecate grabbed the skirt and greeted her politely.
I say it over and over again because the motion is so elegant, and it may be a bit professionalism, but it really doesn’t look like a knight at all… The
skirt of the dress rotated round as she turned her body around.
Hecate lightly wore red shoes and headed south again –
“Oh, really. Come to think of it, I heard that there will be a martial arts competition soon…”
He stood still. I just turned my head back.
Her red eyes, revealed at a glance under a slightly turned back white parasol.
“Can our knights go wild too, Your Highness?”
It was only then that he was spraying bloody light like a fighter.
“Of course, Sir Hecate.”
I put Gyeong (卿) at the end of my name and smiled.
“Now that you and your knights are also under my command, you are fully qualified to participate in this martial arts competition.”
“Whoops. I will happily wait.”
Hecate gave Lucas a meaningful glance one last time, then swung around and went back.
“…”
We stayed still until she walked away, and all of us turned to Lucas. Lucas was startled as he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
I shouted on behalf of everyone.
“Lucas! What the hell happened to that girl! Can’t you hurry up and say it right?!”
I have a feeling!
A feeling of black history!
This straight heroine, the knight, smells of embarrassing black history, which is not common!
I’ll make sure to ask you questions and then play with you!
