[ Episode 200. The one who sees the plan and fate]
Originally, the plan to participate as a mercenary was a little distorted due to Pione.
Pione had to be assigned to my squire role and in charge, so I personally participated in the war as Count of Cromwell.
“Good luck.”
Audi, who came as a recruiter, wished me luck.
As the epitome of an honest knight, he soon left to confirm the identity of others.
And when he left, the owner of the gaze that I had felt earlier approached me.
“Adrias.”
Vivian was looking at me with an expression I had never seen before.
“Why is he? He said he was going alone…….”
“There was a situation. More than that, is Vivian participating in the war as well?”
“……huh.”
She looked at me insinuatingly with a look that had something to say.
Then Diene, Urihi, and Lucia came after them.
“What is the matter?”
“It’s a family transaction.”
“is it so?”
Even as Lucia asked me, her eyes were on Vivian.
Seeing that she was looking at Vivian, she must have been very heartbroken.
For Vivian, it wouldn’t be very pleasant for me to take someone else with me after refusing to accompany her.
“Vivian. sorry.”
“no.”
Vivian suddenly became expressionless and shook her head.
After a moment of awkwardness passed, Eudy called everyone together.
“Now we will depart for the capital.”
Since the corps or units belonging to the capital were assigned, everyone was together until there.
I will be competing there separately under the name of Cromwell.
Instead, I had no power, so I had to be assigned somewhere, but I could choose the location or unit.
“Seniors. Isn’t it about time you told me where you’re going?”
Pione asked as they got on the train to the capital.
Others seemed to be interested in her question.
“I will go to the rear.”
“Rear?”
“okay.”
Phione seemed a little puzzled by my words.
“You weren’t going to set up your major, were you?”
“There’s no law that says you have to make a major only in the front line.”
“That’s true, but…”
Even when he looked at me with a puzzled look, that was all I could say.
I can’t tell you that I already know the information and movement route of the barbarian troops.
“If you’re going to be in the rear, why don’t you join our unit?”
Lucia, with sleepy eyes, told me.
Looking at the half-opened eyes, there was not a single bit of tension, but rather, there was a sense of stability.
“Is Viscount Hollington also participating in the war?”
“We carry military supplies. I heard that I won something right with this war, but I think I will mainly be in charge of supply.”
“Sorry, but I already have other plans, so I’m going to go somewhere else.”
Even though I already knew, I asked her.
Viscount Hollington benefited from the information I gave Amy in advance.
And, as far as I know, Viscount Hollington’s supply corps will have a rough run.
No matter what anyone says, Lucia is a playable character.
As such, incidents and accidents did not cease.
‘The area around the playable character is like the eye of a hurricane.’
All kinds of big events happen around playables.
That way the game progresses and the player doesn’t get bored.
“Lucia. be careful.”
“yes?”
“Don’t think that the back is safe. The opponents are the guys who crossed the northern mountains barefoot. It can make unpredictable movements.”
Not only Lucia, who listened to my advice, but also Diene and Pione’s expressions became strange.
Perhaps it sounded too absurd.
Anyway, for my part, I had to say something, no matter what people thought.
“all right. I’ll be careful.”
She nodded her head with a careless expression, assuming that it was just an old woman’s remark.
I knew that the reaction would come anyway, so I didn’t care.
“Anyway, I wonder what the plan is. If you see that you can make a major even if you are in the rear, what kind of plans do you have?”
“I will just keep it.”
In my words, this time even the students nearby were looking at me with strange expressions.
Half of the expressions were nonsense, and half of the expressions were pitiful.
“Adrias. With your strength, wouldn’t it be more helpful to go to the front rather than defending from the rear? It would be better for them to establish a major.”
Diene said, but I shook my head.
“I will guard the rear. I heard that the Alven family has been deployed to the front, but please run amok instead of me.”
“No, that’s not what I mean, there’s no way the enemy will come from the rear in the first place…”
“Yeah. Adrias is in the rear.”
Vivian nodded, interrupting Diene.
and came to me
“Can I go with you right now?”
“sorry.”
“okay. You have to be careful.”
She smiled faintly and nodded again.
Then he turned his gaze and looked at Phione once more, then continued talking quietly.
“You have to protect Adrias.”
“Is this a skill I dare to defend? I’m just helping him and going to help him.”
“If Adrias goes wrong, you…”
“Vivian. Thank you for your concern, but I’m fine. You don’t have to worry too much about it.”
Hearing my words, Vivian looked at Pione quietly, then turned and disappeared into a corner of the train.
Sometimes when I show myself like that, I feel burdened, but I feel sorry for nothing.
Vivian was treating me as such a great benefactor, but the reason I saved her was not a very desirable reason.
I’ll have to talk to Vivian about this sometime.
“Senior is really like that……uhh.”
At that moment, Lucia clicked her tongue at me and walked towards where Vivian disappeared.
what? Why did you suddenly sound disapproving?
Leaving behind Lucia’s unknown actions, the train finally started arriving towards the capital.
**
Portion, the city of wizards at the end of the continent.
A deformed place where a huge number of tourists and merchants visit every year, and the entire population of the city is made up of wizards.
Among them, the center of the city could not be entered unless it was a wizard, so the wizards longed to enter the center of Portion next to becoming a warlock.
At the heart of this Fortion, there was a Warlock announcement every five years.
It was the famous ‘Choice of Nivas’ event.
Among the festivals of Nivas held every year, announcements are made every five years.
This announcement does not ask the other party’s intention.
Of course, there is no test, and it is just notified unilaterally by the wizards in the center of Portion.
“That’s strange.”
And the reason why he was able to notify that he had become a warlock even without seeing his opponent was entirely thanks to this man’s strength.
“Fate has changed.”
The owner of Portion and one of the 10 people on the continent.
In effect, the person who bestows the title of Warlock.
Maxwell Pendragon.
T-D-D-DIC!
“May I come in?”
The place where Maxwell was located was a huge corridor.
He muttered at the end of the corridor, staring into the air, then suddenly waved his hands at the sound of sparks flying around him.
“Come in.”
The invisible barrier slowly collapsed and someone appeared.
He was an impressive man with his distinctive black tuxedo and bowler hat.
“It’s a big deal that you came all the way here.”
“He ran away.”
“I remain neutral. If it’s difficult, I’d like to decline.”
Contrary to the words that he ran away, Hegel’s expression was calm.
Rather, he naturally sat down on a chair in the corridor and spoke.
“I’ll go in a few days.”
“At least tell me what you’re being chased by.”
“He is the emperor of the empire. It wasn’t exactly chased, it was because they ran away in advance.”
Soon after, he was drinking the tea he didn’t know where it came from.
Maxwell, who had been watching the scene, still looked at Hegel without expression.
“Is it because of the war with the barbarians? It seems that the assembly intervened a little, but didn’t you consult with the emperor?”
“yes.”
“Then it’s a bit difficult.”
“There will be no harm to you. In the first place, unless I stand in front of the emperor myself, there will be no reason for them to pursue me first.”
“Then why did you run away?”
“It is annoying to be contacted. It’s obvious that he’s whining, but I can’t get in touch. Staying here will at least give you an excuse, so stay for a while.”
“The emperor looks funny.”
“at all.”
Hagel put down his tea and turned his head to meet Maxwell’s eyes.
A young-looking face whose age is difficult to guess. Brilliant blond brown eyes.
However, it looks like a screw is missing somewhere.
He always looked at the other landscape with one eye using magic, so he always looked like that.
“I don’t know if it was in the past, but I can’t handle the current emperor.”
“Is it because of arrogance?”
“okay. I knew the power of sin, but I didn’t know that you and the emperor would be so compatible.”
Hegel said calmly and looked into the empty teacup.
“Of course I am not afraid. Because I guessed it to some extent in the first place.”
“Those who want chaos, there will be nothing at the end.”
Hegel snorted at Maxwell’s nonchalant remark.
“I don’t know how long I’ll be playing sages like that. Even so, in my eyes, you only look like a crazy person like me.”
“That is correct. But at least I don’t want confusion.”
Maxwell closed his eyes for a moment, then slowly half-opened them.
Hegel, noticing that he was still spying on other landscapes from his face, asked.
“You are more enthusiastic today. What are you looking at?”
“A strange thing happened.”
“What anomaly?”
“Now, the one who should have died soon is coming back to life.”
“The one who should have died?”
When Hagel asked, Maxwell nodded.
“He was a person like you who would stain the world with chaos. But I was destined to die before long, so I was just watching. However, signs began to appear not long ago, and it seems that he has finally revived.”
“Who is that?”
“Salem Yedidiah.”
Hegel laughed at the name that had a certain relationship.
“What he said was true.”
“guy? Who are you talking about?”
“I am your daughter’s friend.”
The tattoos on his face wriggled as Hegel smiled sinisterly.
“You mean Adrias Cromwell.”
“okay. he’s said it before With your help, Salem will heal and return.”
“Adrias Cromwell…….”
Maxwell was already paying attention.
He was a person with the same unique constitution as Edmund the Great, who founded the empire.
“It was said that he was cured with his help… Salem’s fate was not light. Having the power to change that fate means that you have the power to change your own destiny as well.”
“Should I play the wise man even when he is with me?”
“What are you going to do with Adrias Cromwell?”
“I don’t know.”
“It is a lie.”
“For now, watch this war. It looks like he’s planning to intervene too, but I’ll have to take a look.”
Hegel’s tattoo began to fluctuate even more.
“It will be fun in the future.”
