Episode 603
Lee Han briefly exchanged glances with the skeleton principal.
The skeleton headmaster was talking with his eyes.
‘Don’t be shaken.’
‘All right.’
Even in front of the emperor, Lee Han’s determination was not shaken.
We continued talking as we had kissed the Headmaster Skeleton beforehand.
“I really enjoy it.”
Einrogard is not a pleasant place, but it must be a place where magic is awakened by inflicting pain on the tribes…
‘No. It’s not a dragon for nothing!’
Lee Han admired the wise emperor.
Even though he was in the corner of the imperial palace, he accurately grasped Einrogard’s identity.
“no. Ein Rogard is the best magic school in the Empire. We have the best education. We are not hungry. We are happy.”
It must have been prepared before coming with Ohsu.
“……”
“……”
The two priests were cold inside.
How did know?
The emperor said as if he didn’t care that the two of them lied.
You don’t have to talk if you don’t want to talk. I was just asking because I was worried. Osu’s disciples always faced a tragic fate. Trying to burn the continent, trying to burn yourself, or trying to burn sewage…
“When will that happen…”
the skeleton headmaster grumbled.
In the past, when magic education was a bit harsh, there were too many references to impatient students who bought and made things.
In the eyes of the dragon, your talent is the most outstanding among Osu’s disciples. That’s why I don’t want you to burn the continent or burn yourself. How sad it would be for the races of the continent if that happened.
‘I think you forgot the headmaster skeleton?’
“Do not worry. Because Wodanaz is different from the other disciples.”
So you made me deal with the king of ghouls?
The emperor opened his mouth wide and yawned. At the same time, he looked down at the skeleton headmaster with sad eyes.
“That’s not what I meant…”
I guess. sewage. Coincidence… Strangely, there are many coincidences around you…
“……”
The skeleton headmaster was filthy and unfair, but he endured it.
In fact, there were many records intended to pretend to be coincidences, so the excuses didn’t work.
From the emperor’s point of view, there would be no difference.
I also dealt with the Sea Serpent by chance…
“It’s really a coincidence.”
okay. Got it.
The Emperor let out a snort as if he didn’t want to hear it anymore. Headmaster Skeleton’s long hair rose and fell again.
Fortunately, I don’t feel hatred or the destruction of the continent in the pupil’s eyes.
The emperor called Lee Han because he wanted to meet him face to face and see what kind of person he was.
It was because he was the blood of the Wodanaz family, and he had no idea what would happen to the empire if Ohsu’s apprentice went on a rampage in the future.
Fortunately, despite going through a lot of rough things during his first year, there was no particular hint of hatred or destruction of the continent in his eyes.
In addition, seeing that he prepared with Ohsu in advance, he seemed quite friendly.
Although he was still young, he was clearly a wizard with a large and solid vessel.
I’m glad you didn’t completely lie to the dragon.
“I have never told a lie in front of Your Majesty.”
The emperor ignored the skeleton headmaster and spoke to Lee Han again.
I’m sorry to bother you. I wanted to check it myself. I know you can do enough, so I won’t bother you anymore. Feel free to jump into danger.
“Thanks… but I don’t like to take risks.”
Lee Han, who was just about to move on, answered in an instant.
I tried to go over because it was in front of the emperor, but I couldn’t admit it.
You are humble.
“Wodhanaz’s weakness is his humility.”
You have that downside too, however.
“Haha, the joke is true!”
haha. I’m not kidding.
The Emperor and Headmaster Skeleton laughed at each other. Lee Han didn’t laugh at all.
‘It’s very unfortunate.’
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a bell ringing.
The skeleton headmaster was puzzled when the elegant bell rang in the vast, cave-like residence of the emperor.
It was the sound of a new visitor.
“Were there other guests today?”
Well… Alas. Take a look at the dragon’s mind. I forgot this. It was the day to create an additional heir to the empire.
“Oops. You are suffering a lot.”
“…?”
Lee Han could not keep up with the conversation between the two.
What did it mean to create an additional heir to the Empire?
“really. I’d love to see you too. It will help a lot.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
Lee Han whispered in a shocked voice so that the emperor could not hear.
I couldn’t figure out what the heck it would help with.
However, the skeleton principal ignored it and asked the emperor.
“your majesty. Can Wodanaz take a field trip?”
It doesn’t matter, but wouldn’t it be a surprise?
“it’s okay. Aren’t you a student of Ein Lorgard? You will understand when you explain.”
Well, I’m your student, and I’m sure you’ve seen a lot more amazing things than this…
“No. Why are you slandering me like that?”
As they were talking, the door opened and a group of people entered. There were 11 people in total.
An orc woman from a swordsmanship guild A mermaid woman from a wealthy aristocratic family A woman of mixed Lamia from a ranger guild A human woman who leads the three caravans A male Rakshasha who runs the Southern Mage Tower A centaur woman who is the head of the eastern vigilantes A woman of mixed angelic descent from the temple A wolf beast, a renowned mercenary leader on the female battlefield, a lizard beast, the best artisan of the Imperial Western Baking Guild, a male bronze dwarf woman belonging to the Dwarf Bank, and finally a half-ogre woman.
‘Mixed ogre…?!’
Lee Han was surprised.
Other people also had rare races in the Empire, but mixed ogres were a rare race that I could never have imagined.
But Lee Han’s surprise had only just begun.
did everyone come in?
Those who entered bowed their heads in the utmost formality. The Emperor declared in a solemn voice.
“Conceive!”
‘Unryeong!’
Lee Han realized what kind of state the emperor had shown him now.
Powerful advanced magic that changes the order of the world with just a declaration!
Simply bringing in the wind and making the water gushing would require a tremendous level of difficulty, but to impregnate someone else?
At the moment of so shocking magic, I was not surprised at what was happening.
‘no. no…!’
Lee Han, who came to his senses belatedly, realized what was happening.
Right in front of my eyes, the emperor was creating the imperial family with magic!
It’s over. go back
As soon as the emperor’s words fell, the people who had entered greeted politely with a sincere attitude and then went out.
The dragon snorted with even more tired eyes.
This time, please, I hope a decent heir comes out. sewage.
“I definitely will. your majesty.”
Don’t make fun of the dragon with no expectations at all. Rather than that, I think you should quickly explain to your apprentice.
Headmaster Skeleton belatedly realized Lee Han’s astonished eyes.
He was usually calm even when the sky collapsed and giants invaded, so he never expected to be so surprised.
“hmm. Shouldn’t you have explained it first?”
“…From now on, if something like this happens, please explain it first.”
* * *
The first emperor who founded the current empire on a continent where numerous kingdoms and empires were born and then disappeared had one special thing different from others.
That is, the soul was mixed with dragon blood.
If it ended with a simple assertion, the authenticity could have been questioned, but the emperor had a promise to prove it.
This sacred object proves that the ancestors of the emperor made a contract with the dragon, and it was a sacred object of an oath that if someday the descendants of the ancestors ask for help, they will exchange it for this sacred object.
Fortunately, the first emperor was able to establish an empire without using this god.
However, even a prosperous empire will decline over time.
Plague Rebellion Civil War Raids…
As the fate of the Empire waned, the fierce war seemed to never end.
All members of the imperial family, called the imperial family, led the army with the title that they would become the emperor.
Betrayal, assassination, bribery, surprise…
By the end of the civil war, the imperial family faced the tragic fate of being completely annihilated.
Nevertheless, the war was not over. This time, several ambitious nobles came forward with the title of inheriting the throne.
As the situation progressed, several significant and loyal heads of noble families put their heads together and immersed themselves in solving the situation.
How the hell can I end this chaotic mess?
Thankfully, the empire still had good luck. One of them was a very wise and wise archmage.
“……”
Lee Han looked at the skeleton headmaster, but the skeleton headmaster continued to explain.
The wise and wise wizard, together with the heads of households, found the will left by the last royal family and the sacred relics left by the first emperor of the empire.
And by combining the two, a new interpretation was created.
– You are a mighty dragon. According to the last will of your descendants, I intend to use this divine object. Please rule the empire until there is a worthy heir to the throne!
Of course, the dragon didn’t like it very much.
No dragon likes to rule a kingdom. What dragons like is meditation and confinement, not dominion and rule.
But an oath is a sacred law.
In the end, the dragon had no choice but to accept the throne.
At that time, he thought that he could stop being emperor once the chaos in the empire was over and he had an heir.
Most of the continent’s races have a strong desire for power…
I’m confused right now, so I’m begging you, but I’ll come back soon!
“…This is roughly the hidden history of the empire.”
Headmaster Skeleton said with a serious attitude. From behind, the emperor glared at the skeleton headmaster.
“Jung… It’s amazing.”
“okay. It will be impressive.”
‘I didn’t say I was impressed.’
“ah. How many people have dedicated themselves to stopping the chaos!”
“By the way, Headmaster. The successor hasn’t come out yet, has it? How did that happen?”
“It’s a question that doesn’t have to be asked. It must be that there is no successor because he is not qualified.”
It was a misjudgment on the part of the dragon that the tribes of the continent were greedy for power, so they would soon visit the empire.
The heads of the great aristocratic families truly loved the current emperor. He didn’t want any new confusion to arise from the change of emperor.
Why bring in an uncertain heir when there is a perfect emperor?
wormy bastards. Trash bastards who love to be subdued. They look like they were born as slaves…
Ignoring the voice behind them, the Headmaster Skeleton continued his long speech.
“There is something that should not be misunderstood here. Those who judge that successor are making their judgments calmly without any self-interest. Do you understand?”
Osu… The dragon admits it. Of course, the dragon’s nine children are all failures as emperors. But after that, isn’t it pretty good…
“How can those guys rule the empire?”
Headmaster Skeleton shook his head resolutely.
My heart hurt (it didn’t actually hurt), but I couldn’t help it.
In order to create a very outstanding heir, the emperor conceived and produced the first nine children himself.
However, these nine children inherited the dragon’s nature too strongly and were not at all suitable as emperors.
How can those who meditate and live in seclusion rule the empire when they are bored?
After realizing the cause of the failure, the emperor saved the opponent and diluted the dragon’s blood as lightly as possible.
A distant ancestor has a connection with dragons.
After all, what the nobles of the empire wanted was legitimacy from the first emperor, so there was no need to have strong dragon blood.
“So how did it go?”
Lee Han asked without knowing himself.
It was such an amazing story.
“What would happen? If it was useful, I would have already inherited it.”
Skeleton Principal replied coldly.
As the dragon’s blood grew thicker, its abilities improved, but its personality became lazy.
Conversely, if the dragon’s blood thinned, it could not benefit in terms of ability.
In fact, they are aristocrats born from comfortable families, so how can these guys become better emperors than dragons?
Most of them were ambitious idiots.
Come to think of it, aren’t there members of the royal family among your friends? How was it?
The emperor looked at Lee Han and asked.
There was a glint of anticipation in his eyes.
“Uhm. That’s it.”
The skeleton principal shook his head in pity.
