Episode 134
In the Holy Human Empire, there were five families that practically ruled each region.
Duren of the North.
Tisria in the East.
Arthen in the south.
Ajin of the West.
Scion of the central region.
These five families were the only ones to hold the status of duke in the empire, and because they had the right to vote to elect the emperor and the right to be elected to become the emperor, they were more often called the electors.
“Among these electors, the one elected as the current emperor is the Eijin Duke family. The west they rule is a woodland where half the continent is covered with forests.”
The leading magic university,
In order to create true intellectuals, Deleiten taught not only magic but also history and geography as liberal arts subjects.
“There are a lot of trees. It seems like a lot of money will be made by selling a lot of this wood, but that is not the case, perhaps because of Mother Nature’s antics.”
In a classroom at the university, Christa Worden’s eyes were blankly focused on her notebook.
The quill pen, which seemed to be moving busily, was in fact only drawing meaningless earthworms on the notebook and was not taking notes.
As a child of the Madose family, Christa has been familiar with all of this content since she was young, so is there no need to concentrate in class?
‘That’s not it… … .’
Gertrude Panton, who was looking sideways at Christa from the seat next to her, sighed softly.
Has it already been over 100 days?
It seems like you’ve lost motivation for everything ever since Lane Ludwig disappeared… … Is it because the wall I had to overcome suddenly disappeared?
“Why on earth is that like that? Hmm, would Cadet Christa Warden, who is currently preoccupied with something else, be able to answer this?”
Christa Warden trembled, then stood up sobbing and opened her mouth.
“This is because the cold and dry winds of the Eleanor air mass blowing from the north, the hot and humid winds of the Red Mountain air mass from the south, and the cold and humid winds of the Atlantic air mass are mixed, so the west blows damp winds all year round.”
A perfect answer that makes you wonder if you just put the textbook in your head… … Even the professor stuck his tongue.
“right. “The quality of the wood grown on such land was naturally poor, and the Eijin family had no choice but to become the poorest elector in the empire.”
That is, if only geographical features were all that mattered. Instead, the western part of the empire was closest to Trident Point, a mecca for top adventurers.
“Please study on your own what this means, then write it down in detail in a report format and submit it. “Grade evaluation is included as a performance evaluation task.”
Ignoring the fact that the cadets sighed and frowned, Professor Noh handed out handouts through his teaching assistant and then left the classroom.
“It’s nothing special. You and I don’t have to study separately! “I guess it’s a given that I got an S grade, right?”
Gertrude smiled and cried out in an attempt to lighten the mood, but all Christa did was give an empty smile.
It’s gone.
It’s gone.
The wall I had spent my entire life deciding to overcome disappeared overnight… … Does this helpless feeling of emptiness really come from such thoughts?
– Aren’t you at a level where you can fully enjoy magic?
It’s peeling, it’s peeling… … Gritting her teeth, Christa wrote on the handout with trembling hands.
Being geographically close to Trident Point means that it is the land where most top adventurers stay.
Merchants who specialize in purchasing and processing ancient relics and relics brought from Trident Point, entertainment operators who provide entertainment for adventurers, and field workers who sell and repair equipment.
Since Trident Point was a land that only top-class adventurers could enter, the city naturally attracted people from all over the empire and all walks of life.
For that reason, the Eijin imperial family, which boasted wealth unrivaled by other electors—
As she was playing with her pen in silence, like a person in a trance, someone suddenly grabbed Christa’s wrist. It was Gertrude.
“You already took the top spot in the midterm exams three weeks ago. How about going to pay your respects to the Ludwig family during the holidays next week?”
“what?”
“I think you’re doing this because you couldn’t admit that Master Lane is dead… … “As you pay your respects, build friendship with the Ludwig family and make peace with yourself.”
Condolences?
Condolences… … ?
Oh right. I said that he died, not that he disappeared somewhere… … .

“Your Majesty, your Majesty!”
The nature of the Eijin imperial family,
While the emperor was discussing the future of the empire with his ministers at the imperial council, a young civil servant rushed in.
“What’s going on?”
When the emperor asked while stopping the royal guard from putting his hand on the hilt of the sword, the civil servant bowed once and hastily presented the scroll.
“It is said that a rebellion broke out at the Wall and the beastmen crossed the Wall!”
The large and small officials of the palace, who had a relaxed expression, began to mutter in shock and embarrassment. someone asked
“Is that true? How on earth? “What is the scale?”
“They say there are as many as 200,000.”
“Such nonsense.”
“It is said that they are currently crossing Trident Point, so they will be able to enter the western part of the empire in a month or two.”
While the civil servant was explaining the situation to the ministers, Emperor Eijin, who was personally reading the scroll from the backbone of
“It’s treason. “Please summon the imperial army immediately.”
The emperor was the supreme commander of an elite standing army called the Imperial Army.
As military funds were collected from all families to form a unified order for the empire, the size and prestige of the imperial army were different from the private armies of other families.
This is not an opponent that the guards of ordinary families can dare to face.
“I will accept it, Your Majesty. “Who do you want to entrust command of the military to?”
The emperor seemed to be lost in thought as he stroked his chin for a moment, and then his cool eyes turned to the throne below the throne.
To the place where Raida Eijin, 16 years old this year, is the crown prince of the Eijin family and the crown prince of the empire.
Suddenly, a chaotic situation began, but the crown prince’s expression was as calm as a lake on a summer’s day.
“I would like to leave the solution of this matter to the crown prince. What are the intentions of the officials?”

This was an opportunity to show the world the crown prince’s capabilities, which all Westerners recognized.
Suppressing the invasion of the beastmen, if done well, it would not be unreasonable for the Eijin royal family to be reappointed as emperor.
After waiting for the cries of admiration from the great and small ministers to subside for the emperor’s insight, the emperor added these words:
“However, because I am worried about the prince’s safety, I would like to name the castle as a bodyguard.”
The large and small officials fell silent at once in bewilderment and awe.
When it comes to stars, there was none other than ‘them’. These are the four warriors whose prestige shines like stars in the current empire.
And the only being who could summon and command such people was the emperor. Isn’t that true from the official name? It is called the Yellow River Four Stars.
“Your Majesty’s will is right, but I am concerned that it may stand out too much and obscure His Majesty’s glory.”
“Hmm… … .”
“So, please call the palace and the magic city. Due to the nature of archers and wizards, they will perfectly assist the Prince without overshadowing His Majesty’s light.”
A palace and a magic castle… … Emperor Gregon Eizin finally nodded in satisfaction.
“The Grand Secretary, please immediately issue my decree to the sorcerer’s castle, Sagan Wolf Vlado, and the palace’s Leoren.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Prince, lead the imperial army across the sea and destroy those cursed things before they set foot on your land. “Can you do it?”
Crown Prince Raida, who had become more mature since participating as a judge in the final exams of
“Please leave it to Soja.”

“The adventurers currently gaining influence in Trident Point are the seven guilds called the Chilgijong (七器伀).”
Eldwig held up two fingers. He added that the thing to watch out for the most is the Moby Dick adventure group led by the 3rd place platinum level adventurer.
“Moby Dick?”
I couldn’t help but raise my eyebrows in shock at that name.
Where did I hear that?
I’m not very interested in adventurers, so there’s no way the name of the adventure group will remain in my memory unless it’s something very serious.
wait for a sec.
Moby Dick, Moby Dick?
– The Moby Dick Adventurers nominated us. It’s ranked 3rd among adventurers.
The faces of Bart, who had a more formidable appearance than most monsters, but who was so kind that it reminded me of Lista, and Rem, whose faces were full of playful smiles, suddenly passed through my mind.
Are those guys alive?
Do I still belong there?
It would be nice if we could meet this time… … Just thinking about that brought a smile to my face.
“You don’t know Moby Dick? It’s an invincible adventure group led by Blake Blackheart! This time, the emperor wanted to select me as a sword saint, but I refused! “You say freedom is good?”
“Oh my… … .”
“I don’t know how these guys, who even rejected the emperor’s request, will react to this situation. “There is a high possibility that it did not come from the depths.”
“What is the other one?”
“Platinum 8th place, Couville Adventures led by Lorenz Walschwitz. “There is no need to worry about this.”
“Qu-ville? This is an adventure group of demihumans, right?! But why?”
Eldwig seemed to think Kassena’s question was absurd, and pointed to Prisvia’s dog tag that Kassena had.
“What kind of demi-human would dare draw a sword at the princess?”
“princess?”
There, I had no choice but to blink along with Kasena.
A princess?
That Prisvia?
The island of Kinderlands, a large island rising above the Atlantic Ocean in the western part of the continent, was divided and ruled by three kingdoms of demi-humans. The world called them the Three Kingdoms.
“I can’t tell you the details, but anyway, Lorenz has nothing to worry about. “He’s not the kind of person who would follow what humans say in the first place.”
“But it’s fascinating. “I thought all famous adventurers would be here.”
“That’s all a thing of the past. Now, it has spread to various places, such as exploring the ‘flowing desert’ of Antarctica and the ‘steel continent’ of the Far East.”
The next thing mentioned was an adventure group called Red Japanese Red. Cassena’s eyes shined brighter than ever.
“Red Ilhong! It’s a whopping 4th place in the gold level adventure group! “That name has a sad origin!”
“What does it come from?”
“There was a leader who died while protecting the members in the early days of the adventure group’s formation, and all members carry around the flowers that bloomed on his grave!”
As Kassena explained, waving her hands around with a very excited expression, Lane, who had been nodding curiously, suddenly pointed over Kassena’s shoulder.
“Like that?”
In that moment, an inexplicable tension spread throughout Cassena’s entire body.
Without a moment to look back, a beam of light, fueled by a fierce fever, flew right in front of my eyes and exploded, turning my vision pure white.
The explosion of alcohol was deafening, and someone appeared in the explosion.
“Mmm, that sounds very good. The sound of flesh exploding. And it’s fragrant. “The smell of searing flesh.”
It was a man with his face painted white, and he lowered his harp and gave a theatrical greeting with exaggerated gestures.
“Hey you idiot, what if I burn it like this? “How should I receive the bounty offered by the royal family?”
“There will be dog tags. “That’s enough.”
“How do you prove whether these guys are traitors or not!”
The man and woman who appeared behind them were each holding a curved sword and a spear, and all three had red flowers dangling from their lapels.
Red myrtle.
Those weren’t all three, but two more appeared on the other side. From the moment they captured their target, they quietly surrounded it and then attacked while looking for an opening.
“Doums.”
Ganggol, carrying a heavy mace on his back, said so. He cannot say anything other than his name, Duums.
“Don’t let down your guard. There was also a guy wearing some weird looking mechanical armor. “This couldn’t have been the end.”
They all had red and white flower petals hanging from their collars, and the adventurer dog tags jingling from their waists were pure gold.
Ranked 4th among gold-level adventurers.
This is an adventure group comprised of only truly skilled gold-level adventurers, including top rankers.
“The fact that you attacked like this first means you are the bad guys, right?”
“Bad, bad, bad.”
The moment that voice was heard, the smoke was instantly sucked into a gap that seemed to have split the dimension.
It wasn’t a gap.
It was just a pair of eyes.
A silver-white flower with seven petals in full bloom elegantly on a blazing red circle… … It’s Belle Curious.
“What… … ?!”
“Not a single wound… … ?!”
The Red Ilhongs took a step back without even noticing the cold sweat rolling down their foreheads due to the feeling of absolute intimidation, as if pressing down on the air.
There was no way for him to know that the lingering scent of the absolute life form True Dragon remained in the boy’s soul… … .
At that time, someone with some magical skills whispered carefully.
“That can’t be… … “Isn’t this Ludwig’s blood limit?”
“No way? “What kind of Ludwig is in this land?”
“But look! Those black hair and red eyes… … “Scalzi, you’re just like that old man.”
As the red-and-reds were whispering amidst the confusion, the battle situation was visible to the eyes of Kassena, who had retreated behind Lane.
‘A total of five people… … .’
Everyone was holding their own weapons… … The number of people and the external characteristics were the same as those seen in the book.
Blue Cloud, Pren.
Ganiaksa (歌泥樂士), Billyd.
Gold ranks 3rd and 14th, respectively, as well as Duums, Mornac, and Skael… … It’s really red myrtle.
The famous adventurers from the books surrounded them, ready to fight, and Raine raised a finger at them.
“Seven seconds.”
“?”
“The time it took for Aki to cry when I forcibly removed him from my body. “I will finish off all five people in there.”
